Lem's Dogs vs Thad's Chickens

Running a newspaper, you get to know a lot about human nature. Thad Phipps was in the other day, all burned up. Wanted me to run an item on how Lem Martin’s dog had raided his chickens again? and ought to be put away by law. I told him: “Lem was in on Saturday. Said you shouldn’t be allowed to keep those chickens so close to his house—and in a residential zone, at that.” Thad shuts up right pronto • then. And that very evening I see him making his peace with Lem

at Andy Botkin’s Garden Tavern —over a friendly glass of beer. From where I sit, anyone can find something in his neighbor to complain about. (Some folks may even disagree with Thad’s right to enjoy that glass of beer with Lem!) But where would we be if everybody tried to have a law passed against everything they disagreed with? We wouldn’t have many neighbors left!

Labor singled out three bills in the Senate and four in the House as “obnoxious"’ to union workers and full of “prejudice, distortion and misinformation.” Management selected the same _ seven measures but referred to

The CIO Council’s analysis ; of the proposed laws in question \ said they were “punitive and re- j strictivs” and contrary to the wishes of Governor Gates. The chief executive in his message to the Legislature said he did not want punitive or restrictive legislation against labor. However, the Chamber analysis of the same bills said they were “not punitive but corrective ,as they remove restrictions on individual rights.” Caught between these opposing views Governor Gates straddled the controversy today by saying his plea ift his message to the Assembly did not mean he would oppose corrective meas-

ures.

“I am neither pro-labor nor anti-labor,” the Governor said. He said that all he meant by his address was that he was ag^nst abridging labor’s right to organize and bargain collectively. The first of the seven anti-la-bor bills in the Legislative hopper would outlaw the closed shop and maintenance of membership union contracts. The other six measures would limit portal-to-portal pay suits; prevent unions from interfering with the movement or goods on

police to arbitrarily enter labor disputes;i halt mass picketing and repeal the full crew railroad law. % Sen. A. W. Mitchell, R., LaPorte who introduced the anticlosed shop bill labeled his measui'e “a right to work law.” “This bill,” said the CIO Council, “attempts to deal with the right to work but it is, of course, somewhat inadequate. It covers only one narrow aspect of this right, the fact of membership or non-membership in a labor organization. “As written, Senate Bill No. 48, literally is class legislation. A bonafide right to work bill should specifically declare it the policy of the state, enforced with proper punitive provisions, to prohibit denial of employment because of race, color, creed or national origin.” The CIO pointed out that should the bill become law, contracts affecting 200,000 Hoosier workers would be disrupted and “the labor situation in Indiana would revert to the condition in the ’ middle thirties.” “Labor and management in Indiana now get along pretty well. It would be unfortunate indeed to break up this condition.” the CIO said. The Chamber of Commerce said unions opposed this bill only because “the closed shop contract offers handy tool for forcing employes en masse into a union regardless of individual wishes.” “Among manual workers, 56

New Spring Hats to Accent Lovely Hair SPRING cheerfully takes the pleasant blame for so many young women falling in love with utterly frivolous hats. Now that Spring is almost upon us once again, we’re all naturally interested in this question of new hats. Fashion scouts tell us that hats will bq smaller, that they will hug our heads instead of perching on them, in a matter completely defiant' of the laws of gravity. It sounds like a flattering new fashion, and a grand excuse to do something new with one’s hair. Hairdos may come and go but like Tennyson’s famous brook, lovely hair goes on forever. If this Spring finds you doing everything in your power to make your hair shining and lustrous, you are a girl who knows the most important secret of beauty. Your hairgrooming ritual may be a simple one—just periodic scrubbings with your liquid shampoo and nightly sessions with your hairbrush. It’s the glamorous results of this ritual, however, that make other girls think you have some special tricks

own house in order.

Oflly 4.2 per cent of those who voted reported that there had been a decrease in gambling in their areas. A “noteable” / increase was reported by 57.4 per dent while the remainder, 38.2,

reported “no change.”

Many of those who reported increases attributed them to postwar conditions. And much of the increase, they said, was among teen-agers with gambling among high school students, and on high school sports, particularly heavier than before World

War II.

For those areas where decreases were reported, the poll participants pointed out that “money is getting harder to get — the fat pay checks which the war workers received have disappeared.” Big increases in the number of football, basketball and base-

When your hair is always at it's glowing best, it doesn’t matter what milliners and coiffeurs decree. But now that you, know about the new Spring hats with their chic head-hugging lines, start thinking of. your hairdo in relation

to them.

If you can wear your hair short, !so much the better, for short hair is slated for top popularity this spring. If you prefer your hair long, wear it in a smooth-top arrangement, because elaborate curls on the crown of your head aren’t going to fit so well into the new slgek-fitting chapeaux. All-in-all, it sounds like a grand season to go in for a more tailored, disciplined hairdo—neat and slightly waved on top, and softly turned up or under next to your face and around the edge of your hat. You’ll be surprised at how flattering such a simple hairdo can be —actually it’s going to give you a new personality. More than that, it’s going to show off the hair you've been taking such pains with. So keep up your liquid conditioning shampoos and noetournal hairbrushings and get ready fo>' one more lovely Spring!

It is not anti-labor.” Referring to the Senate’s antimass picketing bill the CIO said that “workers do not strike for fun.” ‘They strike,” said the CIO, “because thqy have reached a point on a grievance or a wage need where the only way they can win what they believe they must have, is to stop work. When workers strike, they suf-

The CIO said that the mass picket line was an essentiol part of a strike in that it discouraged management from carrying on aggresive strikebreaking activ-

ities.”

The Chamber analysis of the measure said it “provided a practical means of preventing mass picketing, which is already j unlawful in Indiana.” “The bill,” said the Chamber, “does not propose to outlaw peaceful picketing. Neither does it attempt to interfere with the right to strike. It is limited to any picketing which is of such nature or kind to prevent free ingress and egress at an employer’s place of business by

force.’’

Gambling Evil In AH Sports New York. — The sports gambling evil has become so serious that it threatens the j future of amateur and profession-

s.1 cithltitics.

That is the majority opinion of sports editors and writers who balloted in a United Press poll on sports gambling. With professional football, boxing and in some instances, minor league baseball, facing the gravest sports crisis since the Bl^bk Sox scandal, 55 per cent of those who participated in the poll agreed that the increase in gambling threatens the very foundations of intercollegiate sports as well as professional athletics. Forty-five per cent

dissented.

Most of those in the majority felt, however, that the situation could be saved if immediate and definite action were taken to curb the big-time gamblers and their syndicates. Failing to move now, they contended, would' soon bring an end to the new “golden era”’

of sports.

974 Men Killed In Coal Mines in ’46

Washington. D. C. — The Interior Department reported today that 974 men were killed in coal mining operations last year, a record low for the industry as a

whole.

In 1945, the toll was 1,079. R. R. Sayers, director of the Bureau of Mines, attributed the achievement to ‘the intensified safety program in which the mine workers, industry officials, and state and federal safety inspection services each made vital contributions. Although the 1946 death toll

essential or the situation will become so far out of hand that any remedial measures may be too late. The big danger that they see at present is the possibility that the gamblers may soon “get” to college players as they have to the professional performers. And once that happens again — like in the Brooklyn college basketball scandal — they fear that it would mark the beginning of the end of intercollegiate athletics as we have come to know

them.

Those who feel that the situation is not as alarming as some have painted it, argued that sports are strong enough now to withstand any gambling scandals, such as the current ones in pro

a Good Lobbyist Indianapolis, Ind. — A good

lobbyist is one who sits in the gallery, the Indiana Senate • de-

cided today.

“There’s been entirely too much confusion on the Senate floor,” said Majority Leader John Van Ness, R., Valparaiso. “I frequently talk to lobbyists but they must stay out of our way while we’re working,” The 38 Republicans met in caucus late yesterday and agreed to enforce Senate rules which prohibit everyone except Senators, members of their families and newspapermen from the floor of

Donaldson, superintendent of the House press gallery; Humphrey S. Shaw, employee of the Houes Rules Committee, and James V. Griffin,, assistant sergeant-at-arms of the

Hbuse.

All agreed to serve in an unofficial capacity to help Allen sec that the pages “mend their ways.’ Allen, chairman of the House Republican Patronage Committee, expressed concern about 1C days ago “over the rather unseemly conduct” of some House pages. He cited reports of loose living and lax morals and urged that members of Congress assume “moral responsibility” for the conduct of pages during nonworking hours. Allen explained that he was not attempting' to become “a watchdog” over pages, but he said he could not “sit idly by and watch these boys—all of whom come from good homes and with fine parents^—stray down the paths that lead to reckless living and degradation.” o Old North Church Unchanged.

the decision of doctors after panel discussion on rehabilitation of the surgical patients at the clinical congress here of the American College of Surgeons. It was indicated that long bed rest was “deconditioning,” and that it was advisable in many cases for the patient to get out of bed on the day of operation

or the day after.

Dr. Howard Rusk of New York, summarizing studies made at Cornell and the University of Minnesota, reported that after several weeks in bed, patients showed the following recondi-

tioning phenomena.

An 11 per cent decrease in the size of the heart: increase in pulse rate from 125 to 175 while working: marked inability to do sustained work; a five per cent diminution in reaction time; fall in basal metabolism to minus 18 or 20; doubling of the protein requirement to keep up the nitrogen balance; doubling of the excretion of thiamine and riboflavin and an increased suscep-

tibility to faintings.

Discussing a study of orthopedic patients, Dr. Rusk said members of a group working from three to five hours a day showed no muscular trophy when the casts were removed. They went back to work in half the time it took members of a second group who did net work. Dr. I. S. Radvin of Philadelphia told the college of his experiences in early ambulation with Chinese troops. He said patients who had their spleens removed were out of bed in eight to ten hours, and he also told of a Chinese soldier whose heart stopped beating for three minutes during pn abdominal operation. The surgeon had to massage it by hand to set it going again, and 18 hours later the patient walked two miles to get

some fruit.

Dr. Radvin said that Chinese patients who got up within a day or so of operation required fewer than half as many nurses and 30 per cent less use of narcotics-. Dr. John H. Powers of Cooperstown, N. Y., reported on a group of 900 surgical patients who were walking the first or second day after operations. He said there had been no untoward result from their getting out of bed, and there even was a reduction of 50 per cent in the incidence of gas pains from 69 to 32 per cent, and a reduction of postoperative distension by

half.

In addition, there were no dis-

Rent Controls To Be Relaxed Washington, D. C. — Regional Rent Control officials have been ordered to “liberalize”—permit increases-—in rent ceilings in hardship cases, Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, director of the Office of Temporary .Controls, announced today. Fleming made his announcement after a conference' with President Truman. Fleming is in charge of the Nationwide Rent Control Program which expires June 30. Fleming remained after the cabinet meeting today to discuss rent controls with the President’. Fleming said that he decidedly favored the continuation of rent control after June 30i Mr. Truman said the same thing yesterday, but said it was up to Con'gress whether to extend the con>trols beyond the expiration date. Fleming said’ that if controls are allowed to expire June 30, ah upward spiral of rents and “thousands of evictions” will result. Mr. Truman, who wants rent control extended, told his news conference yesterday that the White House would' not recommend any changes irt the present

law-

He apparently had in mind a recent statement by Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., who said he would support extension of rejit controls with certain modifeations- t’o help landlords who are suffering “in-

justice.” ' ,
