| New Cold Wave Is Moving Into State Cold Weekend Is Indiana Forecast By United Press A new cold wave swept into In- ' diana today, bringing with it drifting snow and new ice hazards for Hoosier transportation. Temperatures slid below freezL ing after several days of mild weather that melted an earlier snow and, combined with winter rains, caused gtreams to overflow. A coating of ice and snow handicapped traveling and delayed trains and buses. Surface water inundated fields ’ and covered stretches of highway 5 in scattered parts of the state, but no roads were reported closed. ’ A cold weekend was forecast by ! the Indianapolis weather bureau. While the mild weather of the past few days created water haz- * ards, it halted at least temporarily j the threat of further trouble on the Ohio river. Ice jams and j gorges the past week threatened , boats that had been hemmed in during this winter's worst cold spell. or Trade In a Good Town — Decatur

Q — SENATE GROUP (Continued from Pasre i> indications that the bill would occasion a knock-down-drag out fight when it reaches the senate floor March 1. Taft admitted it is a “great improvement” over the blueprint drawn up by the state department. But he added: “I think the amount is still too high.” The “revisionist” bloc announced a meeting for next week to plan its floor strategy. Sen. Clyde M. Reed, R., Kans., one of the 20-odd GOP senators in the group, denounced the $5,300,000,000 figure ae “too large.” When the foreign relations committee rejected their proposals to curtail the aid program, the "revisionists” .promised to carry their fight to the floor in the form of restrictive amendments. Other stumbling blocks before the bill included the senate and house appropriations committees which have the final word on the funds. Vandenberg acknowledged that he had reached no understanding with chairman Styles Bridges, R., N. H., of the senate committee who has been sharply critical of administration spending requests. The foreign relations committee's vote was subject to last-minute reconsideration on Tuesday. But Vandenberg left no doubt that it would stand. “I think,” he said, “ that the present committee draft represents a meeting of many divergent minds in reapect to this very complex problem and that the result is wholly in keeping with the basic concept and really a great improvement upon the original formula in many critical aspects.” Valentine Candy Good Assortment Holthouse Drug Co.
