Calumet Traffic To be Discussed The highway traffic problems in Calumet district of Indiana, as related to those of Chicago and its large suburban area, will be subject of an address by Robert King-ery, general manager of the Chicago Regional Planning Association, to members and guests of the Indiana section of the American Society of Civil Engineers at a dinner meeting in the Hotel Washington, Wednesday. Although studies by both the planning association and by the Highway Planning Survey, recently conducted as a project of the Indiana State Highway Commission and the United States Bureau of Public Roads, reveal that the motor traffic influence of the Chicago metropolitan area is felt throughout the whole northern end of Indiana, the effect upon the handling of highway traffic in the northwest corner of the state is especially great, it has been pointed out. Following Mr. Kingery's address, which will be illustrated with slides, there will be a general discussion of the problem.

Earl Feld-man, director of the Highway Planning Survey of the Indiana commission, will participate. Mr. Kingery, a graduate of Wabash College, was the first secretary of the Chicago Regional Planning Assocition, leaving that post. to serve as director of the Department, of Public Works of the State of Illinois.

UP) President Roosevelt's forthcoming appointment of a new Supreme Court just ire may provide the first test of administration strength in the new Congress. Some politicians look to the appointment also for an inkling as to whether last Tuesday's election returns may influence Roosevelt policy.

They predict that, If he intends to pursue a conciliatory policy as the result of increased Republican success at the polls, he will eppoint a justice of "moderately liberal" leanings and thus lessen the likelihood of a bitter Senate controversy over confirmation of the appointment. May Force Showdown. On the other hand there has been some speculation that, if Mr. Roosevelt is determined to continue an aggressive fight for his entire program, he will appoint a "militant liberal" and force a showdown at once with conservative Democratic senators. The vote on such an appointment might indicate the lineups of both parties on policy questions 1o come, and even throw light on prospects of a Democratic split in the 1940 presidential race.

The President has predicted that his program will not encounter opposition from a Republican-Democratic coalition In the next session of Congress, and has declared the election results did not threaten "liberal government." Republicans gained eight Senate seats in Tuesday's elections, but the Senate majority remained on the Democratic side. Any appointment the President makes to fill the court vacancy caused by the" death of Justice Benjamin N. Car-dozo last July must be approved by a majority of senators before it can become effective. Speculate On Murphy. Mr.

Roosevelt said yesterday he would announce several appointments soon, but added he did not know whether a Supreme Court appointment would bo among them. Belief has been expressed by many that the President would delay action until the now congress meets Jan. 3. It is customary for a justice, If appointed during a congressional recess, to remain off the bench until the senate can act on the nomination. One of the names which has been mentioned in speculation over the court appointment is that of Governor Frank Murphy of Michigan.

Murphy, stanch supporter of Roosevelt policies, was defeated in his re-election race. Prof. Felix Frankfurter of the Harvard University law school, who has advised the administration on several of its legislative programs, Is another frequently mentioned. Favor for his appointment has been expressed by many in public life, among them Senator Norris of Nebraska, independent ally of the President, and Senator' Burke Burke, an opponent of the President's defeated court reorganization bill, said recently he understood Prof. Frankfurter opposed that bill.

Minton Eliminated. Usually well-informed persons have said that Senator Sherman Minton was among the last eliminated from consideration when the President tilled a previous court vacancy by appoint ing Solicitor General Stanley Reed. Minton has been a militant New Dealer. During Mr. Roosevelt's trip to the Pacific coast last summer, Sen ator Adams said the President agreed that it would be fitting if the nomination went to Westerner, since that section now is unrepresented on the tribu nal beyond Minnesota.

Westerners who have been men tioned for the position include Har old M. Stephens of Utah, a mem ber of the United States Court ot Appeals for the District of Columbia; Thurman Arnold of Wyom- inc. assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's antitrust division; Judge bam u. Bratton of New Mexico of the 10th Circuit Court, and Judge William Denman of California, of the Nmtn Circuit Court. P0PEYE, MICKEY MOUSE "EXPELLED" FROM ITALY Rome, Nov.

Warning. Washington, Nov. 13. A Democratic spokesman contended today that the country again had indorsed Rooseveit policies, but from the Republican camp came a warning that the President would meet "firm and unrelenting opposition" if he mistook the meaning of Tuesday's election. Charles Michelson, the Democratic publicity director, declared Democracy had not fared badly in the voting.

He said the loss of a number of congressmen was inevitable after three periods of increase and that the party still had about three out of four state administrations. 'The country at large, therefore, again has testified to its confidence in the Roosevelt policies, and the fight for the betterment of American conditions goes right along," he said in his weekly column. See 'Third New Dral" Dead. With equal emphasis, Franklin Waltman, the Republican publicity chief, said it was certain that what Hugh S. Johnson has called "the third New Deal" wa3 dead and past all hope of resurrection.

"Whether the next two years will be a period of political calm and tranquility depends primarily on President Roosevelt," Waltman contended. "If he reads correctly the lessons of the elections and acts accordingly, he will be saved many hours of grief. "On the other hand, if Mr. Roosevelt mistakes the meaning of the 1938 elections, as he did the election two years ago, he is destined to meet firm and unrelenting opposition, bitter political warfare and, perhaps, crushing humili ation. "Mr.

Roosevelt must make the choice. It is a particularly difficult decision for him to make. By nature he is a fighting man much more the leader of the cavalry charge than the philosopher, despite his many efforts in the latter field. The situation confronting Mr. Roosevelt calls, not for the flash of saber or the roll of drums, but quiet, mediative reflection.

Thus it goes against his nature." Follows Roosevelt Remark. Publication of these interpretations followed Mr. Roosevelt's assertion at a press conference yesterday that he saw no threat, to "liberal government" in the election returns. He said as well that he did not expect coalition opposi tionfrom Republicans teaming with conservative Democrats in the next Congress. Michelson's column was the last he will publish until after he returns from a vacation.

In it he said: "The result of the elections leaves the national situation pretty much as it was. More Republicans were elected to the House of Representatives than the Democrats expected but there remains in that branch of Congress an impressive Democratic majority. In the Senate the same effect prevails. "So what?" Waltman's column argued: "The country has put its foot down, with crunching sounds, on radicalism, the shameless effort to control elections with relief funds, governmental corruption, the flagrant flouting of. constitutional forms and experimental paternalism in the field of economic ac tion." Police in Mexico Put Away Rifles City of Mexico, Nov.

12. (U.P.) Gen. Federico Montes, chief of police of Mexico, has initiated a campaign to make the capital's gendarmes look less fierce. Soon after he was appointed, Montes ordered that the gendarmes cease carrying rifles all the time Now they use them only for riot duty, to maintain order at the bull ring, etc. Next step he took was to an nounce that police-sticks will be issued as soon as they are manufactured, and these are to be used whenever the gendarme's life is not endangered.

Only in dealing with dangerous characters are the gendarmes supposed to draw their pistols. The police In City of Mexico are called gendarmes because that word was transplanted when the French troops overran Mexico in the days of Emperor Maximilian. It has remained ever since, and is pronounced something like "hen- darme." They drill just like sol diers, carry rifles and bavonets on parade, and in the past often have shouldered rifles for routine duty Their officers come from the regular army. Farmers Oil Income Reaches $200,000,000 Washington, Nov. 12.

(U.P.) Oil is not a "crop" but it represents a $200,000,000 annual source of income to American farmers. Under the common law, farmers are owners of all mitiprals found beneath their lands. Instead of developing oil lands themselves, farm ers generally have been content to receive rentals and royalties representing one eighth of the value of production, the American Petroleum Institute reports. In many states these payments vastly exceed Federal government aid. Oil rentals and royalties in California for 1937 were worth $28,203,000 as compared with AAA checks totaling $6,082,000.

In Texas, constituting about one-twelfth the land area of the United States, "oil money" totaled $103,000,000 compared with government farm payments of $38,226,000. NAGLEY, ARTISTi TO TALK.
