Opposition Strong To Midnight Curfew Hint At Relaxation In Part Os Nation By United Press War manpower commission officials wrestled today with the problem ot how to enforce the entertainment curfew which goes into effect Monday. Authoritative Washington sources hinted that the restrictions might be relaxed in some areas where wur workers would be denied recreation. Strong opposition to the midnight curfew on night life ordered by war mobilization director J times F. Byrnes materialized ou the west coast and in New York and Chicago. The spark of the west coast’s hopes were kindled by the Washington predictions that, some exemptions might be made. The Washington sources said, however, that any exemptions likely would be only for movie houses —and possibly bowling alleys—and would be granted for the benefit of swing shift workers. WMU officials had not decided on a means of enforcing the order. "All we know," said one official, “is that the curfew bell rings next Monday night, but nobody seems to know for whom the bell tolls.” In Chicago. Thomas Rosenberg, attorney for the. Chicago Case Owners association, said that organization was considering asking Byrnes to move the curfew back to 2 a. m. and order a complete shutdown one night a week. Rosenberg said the owners believed more fuel, could be saved by a 24 hour shutdown than by closing at midnight every night. Drys Joyful Washington, Feb. 21 — (UP)— Case society and the boys in the back room may weep at the curfew on night life, but the AntiSaloon League and other dry groups said today it was downright, wonderful. Makes for less drinking all COAT SNATCHERS are quite adept at making away with fur coats. If your furs should be stolen or destroyed by fire could you collect for them? "All Risks” Fur Floater Insurance costs very little, insures against practically all risks. THE SUTTLES CO. Arthur D. Suttles, Agent Decatur, Ind.

around, they said in applauding mobilization director James T. Byrnes for ordering bars, theaters and other night spots to shut down at midnight beginning next Monday. The drys said they didn’t have much hope that Byrnes’ edict heralded an official trend toward outright prohibition. But Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, executive secretary of the Methodist board of temperance, did think that the temperance situation was getting brighter each day. "The tendency to get beastly drunk is not as great as it used to be,” he said. o Divorce Granted In Circuit Court Two Others Taken Under Advisement One divorce was granted by Judge J. Fred Fruelite in Adams circuit court today ana two other cases that were' tried yesterday have 'been taken under advisement. Germaine L. Felton was granted an absolute decree from her husband, William C. Felton. They were married in October, 1941, and separat'd lasi December, when the suit was filed. The defendant was given possession <>f household goods and utensils, upon the release of the plaintiff from the mortgage on sai dproperly. The defendant was ordered to pay the plaintiff $25 within the next 60 j days. Costs in the case were taxed I against the defendant. The plain-; tiff's maiden name of Germaine L. Stetzel was ordered restored by the court. (The two cases that were concluded yesterday and taken under advisement by the court, are the suits of Paul B. Gould, who seeks a divorce from his wife, Alice E. Gould; and Homer Mesliberger wh o filed suit for divorce from his wife, Beatrice E. Mesliberger. The latter' have two minor children. ‘The Goulds have two children, one of whom is married, and a minqr son. 0 JAP CASUALTIES (Continued From Page One) tunnel, where the Japanese were believed making their major stand.

But amendment, was expected in the senate, if the bill advances there, to follow the recommendation of the policy committee that the cost of construction be financed by a state property tax levy instead of a flat appropriation. The committee agreed to support a one-cent levy annually for seven years. This would raise an estimated $3,500,000. The original bill called for a one-half cent levy over a sevenyear period to produce $1,750,000 for completion of the original blueprint plan of the war memorial. That provision was stricken out by the house ways and means committee. Three welfare bills, a barber bill, a road construction measure, an aviation bill and two measures affecting cities aud counties were on the house calendar for final consideration. 0 SOVIET TROOPS (Continued From Page One) Konev also tightened his encirclement of Breslau, capital of Silesia.
