O—O ’Ribbentrop has been captured and is now in the hands of General Montgomery’s forces at Frankfurton-the-Main. He will be trijtt as a war criminal.

Slip over tonight and root for your favorite team." O—O Indiana has never failed in any war effort and Governor Gates is working earnestly and effectively to 'see that the Mighty Seventh Loan Campaign goes over. When sales lagged recently the governor took up the battle and each day included in his address a plea for this badly needed fund. O—O We-hope those who predict the war with Japan will end suddenly one of these days know' their stuff. Many believe there is a chance that the whole thing will be over in three monthe.

signed the papers when Germany surrendered, is en route home and will arrive tomorrow. He will be given a great reception. A fifteen toot welcome sign has been erected at the Monument, there will bo a parade, and the Hoosier hero will speak at a luncheon at the Claypool. O—o Crops are being harvested in the southwest and some idea of the biggest problem now is shown bv the fact that the millions of bushels of grain cannot be moved rapidly enough due to a lack of transportation facilities. Wheat, is being dumped on the ground because elevators are filled. In normal times these conditions are provided for but this year cars and trucks are being used to carry men and munitions to the Pacific war and the car shortage is serious. The big crop must be taken care of and it's the biggest job ever undertaken b/ the transportation companies. O—o Looking for Trouble: — A promised postwar gadget called the selector will, it is claimed, turn the radio on in the morning, start the coffee cooking, regulate the oven, defrost the refrigerator, switch lights on and off, do a variety of household jobs and. we presume, put out the cat after turning off the radio for the night. The vision of this miraculous machine calls forth another vision. It is of the bride of, say. 19S0, in the first few days of her married life. The groom comes home to the first dinner and finds her in the kitchen sitting dejectedly before the nerve center of the modern household, a panel of switches, dials and indicators slightly more complicated than the present dashboard of a B-29. The young husband notes with dismay that his bride is weeping. He takes the crumpled little thing in his arms, daubs at the tears and ‘Eigs to comfort her. What is the matter? “I’m so ashamed,” she says, “I never told you this, but I flunked my course in electricity at school. The roast is ruined and the potatoes are burned to a crisp. Mother wouldn’t tell me the facts of life. She never showed me a thing about thermostats. “Now you'll probably divorce me, since you've learned the truth.

I can’t even change a fuse plug!” —Peoria Star. o—o Postwar Boom— For a long time millions of people have read and followed Roger Babson on business plans. Here ie what he says about the postwar period and what we may expect: This country is facing one of the most expansive periods in its history. There will be more things developed, more new money spent on more things and more people able to enjoy them. lam confident that in the course of maybe two or three years we are going to be sitting on top of the world. Russia notwithstanding.” Everything is going to be on the up and up and things are going to be different. Everybody is going to feel the same about them. The businessman, looking ahead, must not aim too low. There is • going to be tremendous planning and tremendous things ahead for him: He is coming into his own again. It has been a long time since this has been true. There will be another period when the man with big ideas, courage and vision is going to be heard about. The next few years can be tremendous years, The Telephone Company is planning to spend a billion dollars on plant and equipment. Farmers also hope to spend up into the billions for farm equipment. Household equipment, railroad equipment, automobiles, and a thousand and one different things will add billions and billions more. The period ahead of us will be la-bor-saving and time-saving: The

keynote will be increased efficiency. For some-time in the past these things have been more or less frowned upon. We are now facing a new era. It will be a period of coming down to short cuts. Previously, the feeling existed that labor should not be put out of work and short cuts were not encouraged. This is going to be scrapped. The keynote for the years ahead will be efficiency in work. Eventually, the public will come to this point of view also and then things will boom. Before this happens, conditions may be tough for a short while owing to some Russia scares: but considering everything, I am very hopeful. 0 Twenty Years Aao I * Today J June 19—D. C.

PRESIDENT ON (Continued Froen Page One) and has carried numerous other high officials. But never before has a President taken to the airways at home. A small group of officials bade Mr. Truman goodbye at the airport. Among them were acting secretary of state Joseph C. Grew and secretary of treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and Lt. Gen. Harold L. George, chief of the air transport command. They and Elsenhower ehook hands and chatted briefly with the President before he boarded the plane. “I didn't know you could get up this early, Ike,” Mr. Truman joshed. "I had to,” said Eisenhower, who had arrived at the airport about 10 minutes ahead of the President. Two other C-54 transports preceded the presidential plane on the flight to Olympia. One bearing secret service men took off at 6:10. Another carrying newspapermen, photographers and a radio man left at 6:40.

The presidential route for the 11hour flight was a course just south of Cleveland, just south of Milwaukee, a little south of Minneapolis, then over Billings, Mont., just south of Great Falls, Mont., and over Spokane, Wash. Mr. Truman was scheduled to land about 6 p.in. fiWT at McChord field, an army air installation about 22 miles from Olympia, and drive immediately to the executive mansion in Olympia. The plane can be distinguished by the flags of more than 40 nations painted on the left side of the pilot’s cabin. It is the latest in air travel luxury. The President has a special stateroom complete with bed, large work table, comfortable overstuffed chairs and a bathroom.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR ZOB NESTLED against Mike for a time. Then she looked up into his face, her eyes troubled. “Mike, do you really think you and I could make a go of it?’* she asked. "Os course we could!” “You see,” Zoe went on, “I wouldn’t want to make another mistake. If I should leave Paul, I’d want to be sure that my second marriage would last until —*’ “ —Until death do us part," said Mike solemnly. "Listen, Zoe, you’re the girl I’ve been waiting for all my life. You and I could show the world how happy two people can really be. We’ll spend part of the winter in Florida—sandy beaches, warm sunshine, moonlight, good drinks, and the races to give us added excitement. We’ll travel later —when the war is over, and the world is all straightened out There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make you happy. You believe me, don’t you?” "Yes, Mike,” Zoe said, ”1 do believe you." “Then what are we waiting for?” “I’ve got to think, Mike—be sure.” . “Okay, sweetness." “Besides,” Zoe went on, “what grounds can I use for divorcing Paul ? We’re getting on all right, to all appearances. He’s never really cruel or anything like that. Only he doesn’t understand me—how I feel about a lot of things. He makes cutting remarks now and then, when—" “That," said Mike, "is mental cruelty.” “It is?” “Yes, Zoe, sweetness. And many a woman has gotten divorced on such grounds.” “Mental cruelty," said Zoe under her breath. She gave Mike a quick kiss. “Come on, let’s dance!” “How about the divorce?" Mike asked, holding her back. "I’ll speak to Paul about it the moment I get back home.” Mike still held her—would not let her go. “What do you mean, ’speak to him’ ?." “I mean I’ll ask him for the di-vorce-right away." “Good!” said Mike. "That’s better.” He took her arm. "Now I can go in and dance. Only—” "Only what, Mike?” “Just a moment,” said Mike. ‘T don’t give a hang about you getting a divorce unless you’re going to marry me. You haven't said yet that you would." Zoe laughed lightly. “What on earth do you think I’m going to ask a divorce for?” she said. “You mean—you—" “Yes, Mike, that’s what I mean." “Sweetness!” Mike swept her into his arms again. He held her tightly for a moment or two. “We’re going to be very happy, Zoe —and don't you think we won’t!” “We’d better be!” said Zoe, half serious, half joking. Then they went back inside to join the other guests. There was little time for thoughts of romance or sentiment —or pondering over personal mat- i ters-during the days that followed. Everyone at the plant was , excited over the coming presentation of tjie government award, and • efforts were doubled. T’hiHp, with his duties as foreman and the ad- I ditional duties as the chief one in > planning for the big event, was < ♦ y - early mornin g until late 1 at night.

The plane also has a kitchen. In the press plane were White House correspondents of the three wire services—Merriman Smith of United Press, Ernest Vaccaro of Associated Press, and Robert G, Nixon of International News Service. 0 NAVAL PLANE (Continued From Page One) circuits over the town, decided that they would have to land. The recent heavy rains made the field very soggy and the landing wheels cut into the soft earth. The cadets were disappointed not to find an emergency landing field in or around Decatur, Mr. Smith said. The cadets communicated with the Bunker Hill authorities Immediately, but it was not learned what disposition would be made of the plane, or when work would start on removing it from the oats field. AUSSIE TROOPS —■■ ■ I (Continued From Page One) The 37th has advanced so fast in the past few days that it has run off tactical maps faster than the airforce can compile them. Some artillery units have moved up three times in one day. Northwest of Balabag, the 6th division paused in northward drive for a short thrust southwestward to clear its communications lines. They captured 11 enemy machinegun positions. Better weather enabled the far eastern air force to resume its heavy attacks on Formosa, and 90 Liberators dropped 340 tons of bombs on Keelung, Takao and Taito. The planes met heavy antiaircraft fire, but as they turned

Helen and Aggie, heading a comr mittee to see that the plant was in 3 gala attire, scarcely had time to grab a bite to eat during the day, i and in the evening they found 5 themselves so exhausted they felt more like sleeping than eating. Miss Minerva, the driving force be--1 hind it all, beamed—and seemed to r others to be utterly indefatigable. 1 She was the oldest one of them — I and the liveliest! She and the mayor! For he, too, was taking a 1 hand. “Might as well make it a big s day for the whole town,” he said. 1 He wanted to impress the govi eminent official who was coming i down to make the presentation, as > well as Senator Simpson, who had , promised to be present 1 "Sometimes," said Helen to her ’ aunt on the morning of the great ’ day, “I think you’re doing it all for > the senator.” “Stop talking nonsense!” Miss • Minerva said. , "You want to impress him with your importance,” Helen went on • kiddingly, “so that he’ll think being an old maid isn’t such a horrible ’ thing.” "Get along with you,” Miss Minerva said. “Stop plaguing me. Can’t you find something else to : do?” "Everything’s all set,” Helen re- ' plied. "Still planning to take those pic- ; tures from the air?” “Yes. Paul will have the plane all primed—and we’ll get the pictures right after you make your little speech, while the crowds are still milling around." Miss Minerva said: "I hope then that you'll stop seeing so much ot the man—especially while his wife is away." “We’re associates In the war effort," said Helen. “That’s all." “A very pretty speech, young woman, but it doesn’t ring true,” Miss Minerva said. "Mighty funny thing to me—Zoe’s walking off like she did. Women in their right minds don’t leave their husbands to go gadding—especially at a time like this.” "Don’t be so suspicious, Aunt Minerva," Helen retorted. “She and Paul were invited to visit a friend in Washington. Paul couldn’t get away, but he saw no reason why Zoe shouldn't." “Neither did she, evidently.” Miss Minerva’s voice took on a very serious tone. "Look here, Helen, didn’t it ever occur to you that it’s foolish, and maybe a little dangerous, for you to be flying around so much with Paul?” "What’s foolish about it?" “A girl who’d not hesitate to steal a man from the man’s fiancee might not hesitate to accuse the fiancee of trying to get him back. She might even—Jf angered—name the fiancee as corespondent.” “There you go,” said Helen, “talking like a Hollywood movie again,” "Very well,” said Miss Minerva, “take that attitude if you wish. But if you are named corespondent, don’t come weeping to me. I was sympathetic enough when you lost the man, but I’m certainly not going to be sympathetic if you get into trouble trying to get him back." “I’m not trying to get him back!” said Helen. "No?” said Miss Minerva. “I wpnder." U s •Helen tpiefl to think bf something to Say, arid couldn’t. She turned and walked angrily from her aunt’s office. She knew perfectly well there was a lot of truth in what Aunt Minerva said—and the truth hurt She went into her own office and found Aggie waiting. *? r *’ye got to take a final look
