He was a veteran of World War II In which he served with distinction In the campaign against Japan, Members of his family said he had received the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for courage.

A former Marine Buddy of Allen, Charles Stix, 1627 Anita Cincinnati, added some details concerning Allen's war career.

The echelon to which he belonged did not take part in the Okinawa battle, however. Allen, Stix said, went hunting with a companion and, upon returning to his tent, leaned his carbine in such a position that lt fell and discharged a bullet into his left leg. The wound failed to heal, Stix continued, and arrroutatlon was necessary.

Group Plans Organization Patterned After Leagues Of Covington, Louisville. An ail-out effort to curb law.

lessness in Campbell County was pledged by 100 persons, Including ight ministers, at a mass meeting yesterday afternoon at First Baptist Church, Newport. The meet ing was conducted by Dr. Earl Hotalen, Birmingham, who said that he Is campaigning in Kentucky to organize a Chris tian Civic League of voters in very county in the state. Dr. Hotalen, speaking on "The Right Way for Kentucky," de nounced gambling, prostitution and excessive drinking, It was the first of a number of ountywide meetings to be held this week in an effort to form a Campbell County Christian Civic League similar to the leagues al ready active in neighboring Kenton county ana in Louisville.

FUNCTION YEAR 'BOUND. Dr. Hotalen said that he organized a similar group in Ashland, several weeks ago. "We need an organization that Will function the year around, one that will stir up the citizens when they begin to cool off," Dr. Hotalen advised.

"The underworld has come to depend upon these coollng-off periods. They know that there will be reform movements from time to time and they are prepared to continue operations after the coollng-off periods set in." Advising that citizens organize, Dr. Hotalen said that every one lse had done so, even the underworld. "The liquor manufacturers are organized and have a powerful lobby Jn Washington," he said. "The unions are organized as are the politicians and national political parties.

Why then should not the men of God organize?" "Most church people say they are afraid of the politicians at the city hall or county courthouse. They always say that they can't compete with the tricks and maneuvers used by the politicians in power. "Moses said the same thing to Jehovah in the Bible "but he was told that he should use what he had at hand to overcome the Pha-roahs in Egypt. You have the same alternative. You may have nothing but the ballot but that is all the underworld has.

If you Organize your ballot you will have many times the number of ballots as the crooked politicians. Crime and lawlessness have been curbed In New Orleans recently and also in Louisville and It can be done anywhere and will be done here in Campbell County and throughout Kentucky. WORST ELEMENTS VOTE. "Although I am a Protestant, I admire the way the Catholics boycott a thing, as they were recently told to do In the case of two movies. I wish there were an authority In our Protestant religion so that whenever we are confronted with any evil, we will boycott it, fight it, stay away from -it, and oppose it with all our might There is a desperate need (or Christians to get into politics and put out the dishonest and greedy men in office.

"The worst elements always assert their Interests at the ballot box, yet only about 5 per cent of the members of many churches I have attended ever vote. "After a Christian Civic League is lormea and the candidate is asked to tender his qualifications, he knows, that he must run the gauntlet of a Christian inspection. Brother, you must be clean and honest and must tell us what you are going to do when elected, if you run on our endorsement." Each of the eight ministers present was' advised to select two laymen to attend a meeting soon. The Rev. Ted Dougherty, President of the Campbell County Ministerial Association, is temporary chair man for organization of the county league, Dr.

Hotaian said. Early Returns Urged On Seal Purchases; Campbell Drive Lagi An appeal to Campbell County citizens to make immediate returns on Christmas Seals received was made yesterday by August Ellerman, Fort Thomas, President NewPort Health nd rveuare ieague Ellerman said returns made thus far indicated that the goal set in this year's drive would fall short. "In Campbell County we have more than 300 active cases of tuber culosis, and in a great many of inese cases the victims of the dreaded disease are dependent upon the work of the league in providing care and treatment," he said. Ellerman said that 05 per cent of the money derived rom the sale would remain in Campbell County and would be used solely for the purpose of combatting tuberculosis through the year-round work of the health league.

Bonar, Southgate, Chairman of the Campbell County Democratlo Executive Committee, announced 'yesterday that he consulted party leaders Saturday night relative tt a vacancy to be created by the expected resignation of James E. Deckert, Democrat, Campbell County Commissioner. "The failure to recommend a candidate to succeed Mr. Deckert has been because some party leaders declined to make any recommendation until after the inauguration of Earle C. Clements as Governor, or until the resignation was made," Bonar said.

"Consultation on the appointment of a successor to Deckert will be taken up after the inauguration with party leaders. "This should end the groundless rumors of a split in the Democratic party, and the equally erroneous rumor that the resignation would be made to Governor Willis, thus giving the appointment to a Republican." Bonar said a recommendation of a successor to Deckert would be made to Governor-elect Clements this month. CLEMENTS DUE In Capitol Today For Inauguration Rites At Noon Tomorrow.
