Mr. Truman pointed out that the saving asked of individual was actually very email. “One bushel of grain saved by every American in the next few months will do the job." he said. Mr. Truman was critical of the continuing effects of increasing prices, eaying: “Failure to check price increases promptly will not only lower the American living standard, but could impair the confidence of business. and thus jeopardize the splendid record we have achieved in the maintenance of high employment, high production and general prosperity." Mr. Truman estimated that 10 percent of the food purchased by Americans is wasted. "Clearly, by wasting less, American families can help significantly in feeding hungry families abroad." he eaid. “In addition to cutting down waste. Americans can save by being more selective in the foods they buy." The president said that under present conditions about 470,000,000 bushels of grain are the most this nation can expect to export to hungry Europe this winter. Mr. Truman met with the Citizens Food Committee whose chairman. soap manufacturer Charles Luckman. promised to announce later in the day a specific program for saving food in order to combat high prices and to maintain relief shipments abroad.

Urges Taxpayers To Protest High Rates Urges Appearance At State Hearings Indianapolis. Oct. I—(UP1 —(UP) — There’s only one more opportunity for Hoosier taxpayers to “do something" about the high tax rates they face, the Indiana taxpayers association warned today. “The last remaining hope for substantial reductions in budgets and rates rests with the state tax board." said chairman Harry Miesse of the board of the association. The state tax board will soon begin separate hearings in each of Indiana's 92 counties. “These hearings are a form of home rule in which every taxpayer should participate," said Miesse. The board meets with local officials in county seats to discuss local rates and levies and make all possible economies. The taxpayers association urged Hoosiers to attend the meetings in their county, “study the budgets and assist in eliminating governmental functions they can do without.” “If they neglect this opportunity,” said Miesse, “next year's property taxes will break all previous records.” Miesse said estimates indicated increase of some $25,000,000 in property taxes for 1948 in Indiana.

Rumor Lou Boudreau To Leave Cleveland New York. Oct. I.—(UP) —Three very hot reports circulated today on the major league baseball grapevine—the are about to dispose of Lou Boudreau as manager. the Tigers are about to pick him up as shortstop, and the Pirates are about to hire Bill Meyer to replace Billy Herman. There they are for what they | are worth. Whether they come to] pass is something that only Bill Veeck. Walter Briggs, and Frank McKinney know about now, but I within a few days the rest of the waiting baseball public should know- —for sure. Veeck. president of the Cleveland Indians, definitely Is displeased with his player-manager, shortstop Boudreau, and the difference of opinion stems not from Lou’s handling of the ball club or over his actions as a player, but from the fact that he steadfastly refuses to sign a contract for only one season. Veeck is convinced that the black-haired likeable infield stari is a good manager and a great fielder. But he doesn’t want him on a long range basis and when Boudreau reportedly refused to sign a new’ contract as playermanager for one year. Veeck soured on him. Meanwhile. Steve O'Neil, the popular manager of the Detroit club, openly discussed plans for next year. “We’ve got some good kids coming up, but we definitely need a couple of seasoned infielders.” he said. “The infield situation is our key problem. If we get the right man. I don’t think we’ll be very far out of it when this time comes around next year.” O’Neil wasn't saying that Bou-j dreau was that man. because he' doesn’t have the last word. He was unstinting in his praise of the cat-like Indian shortstop, mentioning his fine defensive work and his timely hitting. Meyer’s position as manager of the key farm club in the New York Yankee organization at Kansas City seemed to be set —in other words he is welcome there as long as he wants to stay. But at the same time, his old boss. H. Roy Harney, now general manager under McKinney, the president of the Pittsburgh club, has indicated he is anxious to get Meyer there as a replacement for Herman. “I’m ready, willing, and able,” Meyer said. “But of course I haven't had any direct offers. So I don't know whether anybody wants me. But it is nice to think about.” There were two other reports which were pretty generally spiked like soda pop at a football game. The first was that Leo Durocher. apparently available as a big league manager, would succeed Boudreau at Cleveland, the second that he would take over for Herman at Pittsburgh. Responsible sources in both towns said they had never heard anything quite so absurd. 0

Republican Senator Offers Price Plan Blames Democrats For Price Boosts Chicago. Oct. 1— (UPI — Sen. James P. Kem. R.. Mo., charged today that current high prices are a “direct result" of politics followed by the federal government for a “number of years." He offered a five-point program which he said would keep prices down. It called for no more "debasement" of the currency, no more deficit planning; no reckless spending; no more “nonsense" that wages can be raised without increasing prices; and a realistic foreign relief program. Kem spoke at a meeting sponsored by the national retail dry goods association, the Illinois federation of retail associations and Chicago merchants, association. Kem said a trend toward inflation started when the late President Roosevelt and a Democratic congress devalued the gold dollar by 41 percent in 1934. Kem also blamed "deficit planning" in the form of an unbalanced budget, “reckless spending," labor policies. and exports and foreign relief for high prices. He said the “Nathan report” last year that claimed wages could be raised '25 percent without increasing prices was “nonsense.” The Manshall plan for Europe three arguments in its favor — humanitarian. economic and political — he said. He said congress should make sure any money “given” to Europe would be a permanent solution to basic problems. He said he did not believe the plan was needed to “fight Communism.”

never was proved that they participated in the holdup. Instead of spending money for lawyers’ fees and court costs, the currency exchange agreed to settle its claim for $9,532. Under the settlement, the remaining $4,073 will be divided among the three survivors—Touhy, Basil (The Owl) Banghart, and Edward Darlak—and among the estates of Eugene Langthorne and St. Clair Mclnerney. Probate judge William Waugh approved the agreement. Touhy was one of Chicago’s most feared gangsters of the prohibition era. He was one of the few to oppose Scarface Al Capone and live to tell about it. He now is serving a 299-year term in Stateville. the longest penitentiary sentence on record. Touhy originally was convicted of the kidnaping of Jake (The Barber) Factor, notorious confidence man. Additional time was added to his sentence after his escape in 1942. 0 A lamp that can he used only under water has been developed.
