VIOLATION OF ELECTION
LAW FEDERAL OFFENSE
(By United Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6.--WarninT
against election frauds in Indiana was
sounded today by Homer Elliott, Unit
ed States district attorney
Within the last "a hours reports
have come to me from several sections
of the state and from leaders of both
political parties that If true indicate
a reckless disregard of the election
laws he said.
1T may be that there are some who
believe it is not federal offense to
violate the. state election law. but it
must be borne in mind that we elect
a United States senator and the men,
bers of our national house of repre-
sentatives at this coming election and
that therefore any violation becomes
a federal offense.
Among the complaints already re-
ceived are those that deal with fake
registration and the misuse of absent
voters ballots"

Broadening of State
Highways Simplfied
by Court Decision
(Rv Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6.-Broaden-
ing of Indiana highways, has been
considerably simplified it was said to-
day at the state highway commission
by decisio~ in the Hancock circuit
court which declares that legally
designated state and county roads may
be opened to their full width, even
though a portion of the right of way
has been abandoned for long period
of years. Occupation of part of the
highway for even so long as a period
of 80 years does not entitle the farmer
to hold the ground if it is to be re
opened for state road.
