Judge Is Appointed For Koodts' Trial Fort Wayne, inc., Feo. 11 — (UP) — Federal judge Patrick T. Stone of Madison, Wis., will preside at the trial of the three indicted operators of the Kaadt Diabetic Institute at South Whitley, Ind. The appointment was made by Judge Evan A. Evans of the seventh circuit court of appeals in Chicago. Judge Luther M. Swygert disqualified hinuself because he had previously prosecuted the operators while serving as assistant U. S. attorney in northern Indiana. The three men. Dr. Peter S. Kaadt, his brother, and Robert Benson, clinic superintendent, were indicted recently on charges of misbranding remedies for diabetic pat-1 ients in violation of the federal food, drug and cosmetic act. They are free on $2,000 bond each. Attorneys - Administrators ■ BONDS Kenneth Runyon S Agent U. S. F. &G. Co. & Assets $100,000,000 |

County Board Os Education Studies School Improvement

it The Adams county board of ed- ■- ucation, in regular session Februt- ary 7, after completing routine business, spent a considerable y amount of time discussing the probt! lem of securing improvement in i the rural schools of the county ’ through some means of enlargement of the school districts. Here 3 are some facts that were laid be- - fore the board for serious consideration: 1. We are maintaining seven t high schools in the 12 townships in s which the enrollment ranges from ■ about 40 to 120, with a total in the ■ I seven of about 600 pupils. It is impossible for any of the seven to offer such a range of subjects as to meet the needs of the present, not to mention the immediate future, for all of the children intrusted to them without increasing the already high per capita costs to an entirely unreasonable figure. If it were possible to assemble the 600 in one school, practically all the foreseeable needs of all groups could be met without any material increase in the present per capita costs; but this does not appear to be feasible or desirable. It does seem, however, that it would be possible to make plans, if any agency were empowered to do so, to reduce the number of high , schools to from two to four in the ( very near future. ( 2. None of the seven high ( schools have adequately equipped ] laboratories to meet present stan- ( dards in the teaching of science. s The recent war showed most im- t pressively how poor a preparation { we have been giving our boys and E girls to live in a modern scientific f age. If a rigorous inspection were f made of our laboratories, it is x very doubtful whether any of our , schools would keep their present j a accreditments. ; 3. Only three of the seven t schools are making any offering to t the boys in the field of industrial r arts, and none are fitted with E either the room or the equipment 8 for adequate instruction in agriculture. Considering the increases s in industrial development in the f county and in nearby cities where ; work is available, it seems quite t certain that many of our boys will t be employed in factories, yet our ( schools are doing all too little to , provide desirable preparation for j such work as might be given in a , modem industrial arts shop. To give adequate equipment and room , for such subjects in all seven of these schools will involve heavy expenditures of the taxpayers - money; and most of these shops would serve so few boys and for so few periods per day as to make the expenditure of doubtful value. Again, this is a very progressive , farming community; surely it is desirable for at least some of these boys to be prepared to take an active part in the development • of the agriculture of tomorrow. Should not these boys have a chance to benefit by the best instruction we can give them in vocational agriculture departments, equipped to work out the problems they will face? Possibly, out of the 6OT high school students there may be less than 100 boys really interested in this field. If we set up a modern vocational agriculture department in each* of these seven schools, and hire well trained instructors in each, the cost will be staggering. If we had all these interested boys in one or two schools, the costs would be reasonable, or at least well within our ability to pay. 4. Offering in both the grades and high schools in the fields of music and art have been very meager in most of our schools and in some have been made only at

Chicago Job Printers Stop Setting Ads Chicago. Feb. 11 — (UP) — Job printerg in eight Chicago shops said today they will stop setting advertisements use in six Chicago daily newspapers where union printers are on strike. Both the job shop printers and the strikers are members of local 16 of the AFL International Typographical union. The union has been on strike against Chicago's major daily newspapers since Nov. 24. The job shop printers were reported to have agreed to continue setting advertisements for newspapers outside' Chicago. —; o Man Sentenced On Bad Check Charge Delphi. Ind..

I- Intervals. In fact, only a very - small percentage of our children a are receiving approved courses in 5 both the?e fields now. Facilities -for physical education are availi able for little over half the grade - children in the township schools; and there are, of course, very i limited offerings in two of our high schools. Other fields could be ■ mentioned besides these. 5. In the face of an increasing 1 demand for hot lunches for all rural children, it is to be observed that we are able to meet these demands for perhaps less than a third of the children of our county; and it does not seem that we shall be able to do better until more room and equipment are available for all. Four out of seven schools were approved for vocational home economics last year, and we hope to have one additional approval this year; but we are constantly faced with the need of better and more expensive equipment for all these classes, and this to serve groups altogether too small. It was noted in the discussion that a number of very laudable attempts had been made to secure larger school districts by consolidation of various groups of townships. All these depend on the voluntary cooperation of each of the units involved, and in every case, one or more of these units, i largely because of differences of opinion within communities, has seen fit to stay out. Because of these difficulties, the superintendent asked the board to consider again the county school corporation proposed, but not voted on. at the open meeting last spring. It was suggested that, if the board were empowered to act as a body, an expert on rural schools such as Dr. Cooper who recently spoke to the county teachers, be called on to spend some time with the people of the county and make recommendations to the board as to what action might best be taken. This proposal met with a certain amount of favor. However, the great obstacle was this: some, at least, of the trustees feel that they would not meet the wishes of their communities by voting for county consolidation until a definite plan for the placing of the buildings and the districting of the county has been proposed to their people. Now the difficulty is that do one is authorized to make such a plan before the county is consolidated into a legal school unit. Thus the board found itself traveling in some sort of a circle, without knowing where the starting point might be. A proposal was made for the various townships to unite in hiring an expert to make a survey, meeting with groups in various parts of the county. The person above mentioned is available for his expenses only. But most of the trustees feel that they have no authorization to spend township funds for such a purpose without appropriation in the budget; so the proposal was dropped. It would seem, as your superintendent stated publicly some time ago, that until the people arg willing to delegate enough authority to their elected representatives to take action, the chance to do somehing really constructive in the way of securing efficient rural schools suited to the needs of the future, is likely to be missed. In the meantime, who are the losers? Can these children who now need the very best the community can afford in the way of preparation for life have another chance at the improved schools we might furnish them? Lyman L.

Taft Sees No Need Os Labor Law Change No Immediate Need Os Revisions Seen Gary, Ind., Feb. 11 — (UP) — Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., 0.. said today that he saw no need for '‘immediate revision” of the Taft- Hartley labor act. But he conceded that provisions of the law prohibiting political activity by labor unions ‘ ultimately’’ might require clarification. Taft made his remarks in a speech prepared for delivery before the Gary service clubs as part of his speaking tour of the midwest as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. In a speech last night at Bloomington. 111., Taft charged that President Truman has become the “greatest peacetime spender and the greatest peacetime taxer in the history of the world.” He claimed Mr. Truman was demanding "a stranglehold over all industry, agriculture and commerce” in seeking economic controls. Taft said today that the Taft-; Hartley law should receive ‘‘further trial” by labor and management before being revised. He pointed out that courts have not' had time to give opinions on its provisions. A joint congressional committee set up to study labor-management relations ‘ undoubtedly” will recommend amendments by the end of 1948, he said, “but I know of none

of fundamental importance.” The law, he said, resulted from a “sincere desire to bring about a condition in which employer and employes might sit across the table with equal power to present their views and obtain their rights. “One principle of the act is to impose on labor unions a response commensurate with their new power,” he said. He said he was “strongly opposed to any attempt to prohibit . striker.” “If an agreement cannot be reached by collective bargaining the ali ternative must be compulsory ar- . bitration or wage-fixing by the gov- ■ eminent,” he said. In the end, he said, this would lead to price fixing and control of , distribution which would "see the • end of a free economy." Taft said he did not "like" to limit the right to strike even in cases affecting national safety or health. But he said a cooling off period provided by the new law “seems reasonable.” He said that if a strike affecting national health and security were called after the cooling off period, “A special act will have to be passed as in the case of a general strike.” “A strike against the existence of a people has the characteristics of revolution rather than of economic ’ bargaining,” he said. Taft declared that President Truman’s request in 1946 for power to draft railroad workers for a year to end the railroad strike “went beyond any resonable proposal” and would have constituted a slave labor law.” Taft said that the labor relations act of 1947 — rather than being a

“slave labor law” as some union | leaders claimed — contained “more; provisions intended to give protection to the individual employe, both union and non-union, a.ai.’.st arbi-i trary action by labor union officers, ■ than there were to give justice the employer.” These provisions, Tait said, .on ( stituted a “bill of ngh‘'' lor union ; members. “The operation of the act up to this time has created tome issues but no injustices,” he said. o CIO INDICTED (Continued from 11 labor organization for such a purpose.” Clark added that the justice department is preparing additional prosecutions of other reported violations of this statute. , ______o NOTICE OF FISAL SETTLEMENT OF ESTATE NO. 4303 Notice is hereby given to the creditors. heirs and legatees of Orel Gilliom, deceased to appear in the Adams Circuit Court, held at Decatur, Indiana, on the 28th day of February, 1948. and show cause, if any, wfcy’the FINIAL SETTLEMENT ACCOUNTS with the estate of said decedent should not be approved: and said heirs are notified to then and there make proof of heirship, and received their distributive shares.
