Over this radio the Americans were able to follow the progress of the war.

Extend Deadline On Introducing Bills I State Legislature Faces Busy Weeks Indianapolis, Feb. 1. —(UP)—Arrival of February found Indiana's | legislative machinery oiierating at, full speed today and Governor Gates' desk cluttered with the vanguard of several hundreds of bilte! soon to become law. Simultaneously, daily calendars; of the Indiana house and senate be- | came more bulky and the lawmakers knuckled down to the necessity ; of all-day sessions at the halfway | mark of the 1945 general assemb- ; ly's 61-day meeting neared the half- ' way mark. Because of the slow pace of the Republican majority to reach agreement on controversial measures and the uncertainties following the. | change in state administrations, the house voted to extend to Moi-, day the 30-day deadline for the in- ' trodHction of new bills. Under present legislative rules. : the deadline for new legislation; was tomorrow. The extension was . expected to give senators ami representatives the opportunity to toss several scores more bills into ten ‘ legislative hopper for consideration in the last half of the biennial session. Meanwhile, the GOP legislative policy committee approved a plan to create a permanent Indiana flood i control and water resources com- j mission to replace the present ad-1 vi.sory group and carry out the recommendations of the governor in , his first message to the assembly. 1 The policy group also accepted the proposal of the Indiana American Legion department for establishment of a state Mepartment of veterans' affairs to aid in rehabilitating Hoosiers in service. It took under advisement a 52.500.000 plan for three new buildings to be constructed on the World War memorial plaza in Indianapolis. Legislators faced the prospect of two sessions daily, five and possibly six days a week, during the remainder of the 1945 meeting. Heretofore, most sessions ended by noon, but an inci eased volume ■ of bills, encompassing reports os' committees and other legislative procedure, made morning and afternoon sessions imperative. T'm- governor, meanwhile, found that the flow of bills which passed both houses and moved into his office for the executive signature was in -easing steadily. Until yesterday, only four measures had reached his desk, one of which, the legislature's own bill appropi ating 5200.000 for expenses of the current session, was signed by Gates on Jan. 9, five day's after the assemb.y convened. Five more bills moved downstairs from the second-floor legislative chambers of the senate yesterday, however, and demanded the governor's attention. _ caWkeeT GRANDMA IN HER CHAIR She's as Lively as a YoungsterNow her Backache is better Many sufferers relieve nagging backache quickly, once they discover that, the real cause of their trouble may be tired kidneys.

', All available reports indicated, the Japanese do not have sufficient' forces in Manila to make a finish, fight of it in the city’s streets, and it was believed they would evaeuate after destroying their amrnuni- i tion and equipment wherever pass-1 ible. While the sixth army's main forces drove for the capital, other ; units pushed out to the southwest toward the base of the Bataan per.- < insula and a juncture with vighth ! army troops advancing eastward 1 from Ologapo. The sixth army spearheads Tuesday reached Lubao. nitre miles | southwest of San Fernando and 10 miles northeast of Dlnaluhipan. where the juncture was expected to ; ibe made. Linking of the sixth and I eighth armies at Dinaluhipan would 1 close off Bataan peninsula and a . few hundred Japanese believed to. be scattered through the hills there.
