Woman Watchman Is Killed By Automobile Brazil, Ijpd„ Nov. 22 —(UP)— A woman who worked as a railroad crossing night watchman as a hobb ywas killed last night when struck by an automobile on her way to her job. The victim was Minnie Reams, 45, Knightsville. Police said Mrs. Reams owned considerable property and did not have to work for a living. But she was employed as a watchman for the Pennsylvania rairload in West Terre Haute. o— — SENATE COMMITTEE (Continued from Page 1) 1 proposals in light of food commodities available here for export. The foreign relations committee declared that requirements already have 1 been “carefully screened both at home and abroad and the amount requested in the bill does not seem excessive.” 0 CAPITAL BUZZES (Continued from Page 1) as army chief of staff. That makes sense, all right, but Bradley began that inspection business some time ago with a tour of our European army of occupation. He did that and remained as veterans administrator, too. Bradley and Eisenhower are good friends. Mr. Trumah genuinely admires both men as soldiers. But for better or worse general Ike is in politics. A lot of Republicans want to nominate him for President next year. And a lot of Republicans—and some Democrats—are of the opinion he would beat the ears off Mr. Truman if they opposed each other in next November’s election. General Ike has had a number of chances to get out of politics but he hasn’t quite been able to say the words which would remove him absolutely from political consideration. Your correspondent

1 does not pretend to know what I Mr. Truman thinks about that. But some of the President’s friends have said pretty frankly that Ike looks like a candidate to them. They go farther to remark that if he is even remotely available for political office he should get out of the army and into his civilian job as president of New York’s Columbia University. Some of Mr. Truman’s political associates told the United Press they were glad the President announced his selection of Bradley to be chief of staff. They think it will clear the air. When Eisenhower’s acceptance of the Columbia post was announced last June, the war department said Mr. Truman had consented to the acceptance “at such time as General Eisenhower’s official superiors release him from the army.” — o TWO MEN (Continued from Page 1) tives of the defendants, was in the courtroom when the jury filed out of its room and reported to Thompson that it had reached a verdict. When he heard the verdict, Brown paled. He was the man state police described shortly after his arrest as “the meanest man we’ve ever handled.” Badgley was defiant. He sneered and said he thought it was “a kangaroo verdict.” Later, as he sat with his attorneys, he shouted across the courtroom to deputy prosecutor Floyd Vance of Lake county, “I think you’re a skunk.” The jury got the evidence at 6:05 p.m. yesterday and began deliberations 40 minutes later. At 12:14 a.ra., the verdict was read. The defendants sat handcuffed together in an inner enclosure of the small courtroom, while 14 policemen stood alert for any possibility of a demonstration. Numerous other officers were scattered throughout the courtroom, corridors and anterooms. Afterward, Brown and Badgley were taken to Crown Point to the Lake county jail under heavy guard.
