Former Federal Judge Charles 1. Dawson, counsel for the companies, said thte new deal victory in the first uistrlct court decision on the act would be appealed immediately. Meanwhile, the petitioning companies were ordered by Judge Hamilton to pay the controversial I'v per cent tax to the court, pend-1 ing the appeal. They will not be ■ | required to pay the 13% per cent penalty tax imposed on defiant op- 1 ■erators. The companies had attempted to avoid payment of the taxes on the ground that the act violated state’s rights. In his CO-page decision, Judge Hamilton said: “When the states fail or are unable to perform a public duty, the doctrine of state's hights should i not be a barrier to the federal government rendering an essential | service to the human race. “if commerce is to be regulated and controlled for the public welfare in this country it must be by ■ the national government because the states lack the power to make (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) j ———■ —■——o— —— Annual Senior Class Play Here Tonight ■j The annual play ot’ the senior; | class of the Decatur public high ! school will Hie presented at the, ■s.hool auditorium at 8:15 tonight. | ■Title of the play is “’The Yellow Shadow,” a mystery-comedy in i three acta. 11 Admusioa prices are La. cents , 11 for adults and 15 cent-s for children.! , | o CHIROPRACTORS TO MEET HERE Monthly Meeting Will Be Held In This City Sunday Arrangements have been complet- , ed for the monthly meeting of the Northeastern, Indiana association ! of chiropractors to be held at the i | Rice hotel here Sunday afternoon.

J.I.FARLEY TALKS TO CLUB Indiana Congressman Speaks On World Peace To Rotarians TUI “Save America for Americans.' was the plea urged by James I. Farley, Auburn, congressman from the Fourth district, to members of the Decatur Rotary club at their weekly meeting Thuruday evening at the Rice hotel. Bailing his addrens on the Rotary ideal of service, the congressman stated that the entire world in nowin a chaotic condition and he urged Rotarians to combat tne ineidiotw propaganda being circulated in thin country against preparedness. “The world in based on eelfish ideas," Mr. Farley said." and Rotary service means service to the community, not self. We need an united pepole to protect the United States against all cornel’s.’’ The Indiana congressman derided these alarmists who are warning i that this nation will be involved in 1 the present Italian-Ethiopian war, I stating “we have no chance to get ( into tlie 'present war." Mr. Farley said that while it is the hope of every right thinking person in the world that we shall j some ti.T.e have world wide -peace. this nation must be prepared for | any eventuality. To weaken our national defenses. I he continued, would mean only to i invite serious possibilities of aggression by greedy, envious nations. Sneaking briefly on national as- : fairs, Mr. Farley asserted that the ' New Deal is a realty and is not in the future. Regardless ot personal views on the policies, this fact must be faced, the speaker said. O. L.

Quezon, survey , or. former revolutionary soldier. | and world statesman, today be ■ came the first president of the new Philippines commonwealth. With a prayer and a plea on liis lips. Quezon took the oath of office in the presence of thousands | of his countrymen and scores of I world diplomats and civic dignii taries, gathered for one of the most I brilliant political events in the islands’ 400 years of history. Quezon's prayer was for divine guidance; his plea for the courage and cooperation of his countrymen ! through the 10-year transitory per iod from which, on July 4. 19411. ; America’s "little brown brother” ' of the Pacific will emerge a free and sovereign nation of the world.

Nov. 15. —{U.R) The monopolistic importer system, high--1 ly controversial section of Indiana’s ; ■ 1953 liquor law, passed into dis-, ’ card today with the advent of | "port of entry" dealers. The change brought into effect final provisions of the 1935 law I and marked the deadline for “ex- ' tended” retail permits issued under tlie olel statute. Principal immediate effect ot the ; change was an increase in number I of persons eligible to import for-' ieign beer and distribute it through ; out the state. I The old law limited the state to , 10 importers and they, in turn, were restricted to selling only within th.eir individual districts. iToiders of “port of entry" permits will be allowed to sell beer ' anywhere in the state. In answer to complaints that the importer system permitted a mon- ■ opoly for triends of the Democratic administration, the 1935 legisla-j ture decreed that there may be J | “not less than 10 nor more than \ 100 port ofTutries in the state. At least 14 such permits will j j have been issued by the alcoholic I beverages commission when the change becomes effective at (i ! o'clock tonight. Paul P. Fry, excise administrator, said.

Present Tory Government Wins General Election; Pledged To Action On Any War-Maker. MACDONALD LOSES London, Nov. 15.— (U.R) — Tlie I national government, strongly tory ' and pledged to support international action against any war-mak-er, won the general election today , with a safe majority in parliament. At 2 p. in. the government pass■ed the 308 seats necessary for a majority and its victory became more pronounced as returns coni tinued to come in. Labor headquarters, in admitting clear-cut government victory, said it expected the government majority to be between 200 and 250 seats. Labor made gains, but not much as expected. It will have a stronger voice in parliament than in the last session, but never enough to upset the government. The liberals slipped and labor’s gains were made from all parties, including the conservatives. The defeat of Sir Herbert Samuel, leader of the main branch of the divided liberal party, left David Lloyd George, former liberal leader, in a stronger position, with a chance to unite the liberal units. The main government casualty ! was J. Ramsay Macdonald, former j leader of the labor party, who ■; brought it to the height of its power as prime minister. Hated bitterly by the labor party . because he joined tthe conservai fives in the present coalition gov- ' ernment, he was defeated in his ' constitutuency of Seaham after a I vitroiic campaign, by E. Shinwell, laborite, with a vote of 38,380 to * 17,882. | 1 Macdonald, lord president of the council, may remain in the govern■ment. however, and his long. dram. - atic political career is not neces- ; sarily ended.’ I It was expected some seat would I be found for him by the reßignatj ion of some pro-government nonntity in a safe constituency.
