That amount is the share of the ' proposed $39,669,000,000 federal expenditures for the 1948-49 fiscal year which would fall to this county if next year’s federal spending were divided among the different 1 states on the basis of each state’s ' share of income payments to in- 1 dividuals and then were divided a- ' mong the counties of Indiana on 1 the basis of estimated populations 1 in 1947, according to the State 1 Chamber analysis. * o '■ — Trade In a Good Town — Decatur I

Does Stomach Gas and Bloat Make lon Feel Miserable ? If so, here Is how you may get blessed relief In freeing your stomach from this nervous distress. It works this way: Everytime food enters the stomach a vital gastric Juice must flow normally to break-up certain food particles; else the food may ferment. Sour food, acid indl--1 gestlon and gas frequently cause a morbid, touchy, fretful, peevish, nervous condition, loss of appetite, underweight, j restless sleep, weakness. To get real relief you must Increase J the flow of this vital gastric Juice. Medl- , cal authorities, in Independent laboratory tests oil human stomachs, have by I positive proof shown that SSS Tonic is ; amazingly effective in increasing this flow when it Is too little or scanty due to a non-organlc stomach disturbance. I This is due to the SSS Tonic formula which contains special and potent activating ingredients. Also, SSS Tonic helps build-up nonorganic, weak, wab ry blood in nutritional anemia—so with a good flow of this gastric digestive Juice, plus rich redblood you should eat better, sleep better, feel better, work better, play better. Avoid punishing yourself with overdoses of soda and other alkallzers to counteract gas and bloating when what you so dearly need is SSS Tonic to help you digest food for body strength and repair. Don't wait! Join the host of happy people SSS Tonic has helped. Millions of bottles sold. Get a bottle of SSS Tonic from your drug store today. SSS Tonic helps Build Sturdy Health.

- Man Is Fined For > Drunken Driving 1 Fort Wayne Man Is Fined In City Court t Mayor John M. Doan in city court this morning fined a Fort i Wayne man $25 and costs and revoked his driver’s license for six months on a plea of guilty to a drunken driving charge. The defendant, Vincente Silva, 49, was unable to pay the fine and was remanded to jail in the custody of sheriff Herman Bowman. Sheriff Bowman arrested Silva last night about three miles north of Decatur on U. S. 27 after a chase of a mile or more. The sheriff testified in court this morning that Silva’s large truck was swaying from side to side and forced several approaching autos onto the berm as the latter drivers attempted to avoid a collision with the truck. The sheriff said that after much difficulty in stopping the driver, a Mexican, he found the man was unable to stand up because of his intoxicated condition. The truck, which has faulty brakes, is being held at the jail until proper repairs are made, the sheriff stated. Prosecutor Myles F. Parrish represented tht state at the arraignment. The fine totalled $36.25. If the fine is not paid, the defendant will “lay out” the amount at the rate of $1 per day. 0 Lenten Service At Zion Lutheran Church

Two U. S. Officers Mauled By Koreans Russian Officers Refuse To Intervene Seoul, Korea. Feb. 17 — (UP) — ' Soviet army officers stood idly by and permitted a crowd of Koreans to maul two United States liaison 1 officers during a military parade in Pyong Yang, capital of the Rus- ’ sian zone. U. S. army authorities ' said today. The army report identified the ‘ two officers as Maj. Darrell G. Costello, Imogene, la., and Maj. Richard C. Biggs, Berkeley, Calif. ' Both are stationed in Russion-oc- < cupied Korea. The two Americans were mauled on Feb. 8 when they joined a crowd ‘ of civilian spectators to watch a parade by units of the newly-form- ( ed “aruny for all Korea.” The parade wae held to mark the second anniversary of the north Korean < peoples committee. As the Americans stood at a vantage point near the official reviewing stand, they were approached ( by six Korean civilians and a lieu- ‘ tenant colonel from the Korea I / army. The lieutenarft colonel protested that the' officers were on “Korean 1 soil and the United States has no ( business here.” c Immediately afterwards, a num- I ber of Korean civilians, officers and police tiled to drag the Americans f to a nearby police box. Failing in . thia, the Koreans surrounded the Americans and tried to block their view of the parade. After the parade, the Americans returned to their jeep which was parked directly in front of the I Pyong Yang Soviet officers’ club. | They were surrounded immediately I by about 15 Koreans who tried to drag them from the vehicle. During the scuffle, a Korean de-1 tective drew his pistol and demanded that Costello hand over the camera he was carrying. The major handed over the film but kept the camera. It was snatched away from him by an unidentified Korean. While an estimated 106 Soviet' officers looked on, six Korean po- : lice approached the jeep and kept the Americans prisoners for a half hour The officers' appease to the Soviet officers were met with the answer, “sorry, we have no authority.” Although ho protest has yet been made. Lt. Gen. John R. Hodge, American commander in southern Korea, pointed out that Soviet liaison officers in Seoul have “complete liberty of movement plus full freedom to photograph all military parades.” o MELTING SNOW, (Continued from Page 1) for the Ohio valley. The pleasantly warm weather was expected to last for at least two more days. Temperatures were above freezing yesterday as far north as the Canadian border. It hit 55 degrees on a line extend- • ing through Des Moines, Indianapolis and Columbus, O. The warm weather relieved the | serious shortage of fuel oil and gas over most of the country. I Minnesota fuel conservator James W. Clark said a few more days of I mild temperatures would help the state build up oil reserves. ! He said every warm day saved the state 2.000.000 gallons of the 1 fluid which has become almost precious in the northern sections of the country. However, the cold spell had lasted too long for some sections to , recover this winter. The East , Ohio Gas Co. at Cleveland an- . nounced that industrial gas users t in the area will receive only 50 percent of their normal supplies -for the remainder of the season. 5 o 7 ' The American Indian bridegjjuom showed respect for his i j mother-in-law by never speaking} 1 with her or meeting her. according! i to World Book Eao/dopedij.

Grant Continuance In Assault, Battery Case Justice of the peace Floyd B. Hunter late Monday granted a continuance in the case of Dale Death, of this city, charged with assault and battery in an affidavit signed by Walter Sautbine, also of Decatur. Justice Hunter granted the continuance to the state upon a motion of Prosecutor Myles F. Parrish, who previously had not been connected with the case. A similar motion filed by city attorney Robert Anderson, representing the defendant city policeman, was taken under advisement. The complaining witness, who charged the defendant struck him, was not in court. He was represented by attorney Lewis L. Smith, who filed the affidavit in the justice's court in behalf of his client. The prosecutor was not present, but his motion was presented to the court by attorney Anderson. The former’s motion cited the fact that he could not be present because of the illness of his father. o Charles Haney Rites Are Held At Bremen Berne, Feb. 17 — Services were held this afternoon at Bremen for Charles Haney, 77. a former resident of this community.

labor Unions Fight Court Injunction Argue One Section Os Act Is Illegal Indianapolis. Feb. 17. (UP)— The International Typographical Union (AFL) claimed today that federal district court injunctions could permanently deny unions the right to strike to win or hold benefits for their members. The national labor relations board has asked the federal district court here to issue an injunction restraining the union from continuing its strikes against 14 newspapers throughout the country. The NLRB contends the union is carrying on an unfair labor practice. In a reply brief filed late yesterday, the ITU argued that a section of the Taft-Hartley act is unconstitutional because of the manner in which it authorizes the NLRB to obtain injunctions against union. Once the injunction was issued, the court lost “all control over its duration,” the union said. “By the operation of section 10 (J) respondents may, for an indefinite period of time which this court cannot regulate, but which depends entirely on the whim of the board, lose irreparably the only effective means they have of advancing their economic welfare,” the union’s brief said. “Indeed, this court is without power to compel the board ever to reach a decision.” Five labor organizations filed briefs yesterday supporting the ITU’s contention. They were the American Federation of Labor, the Congress of Industrial Organizations, the United Mine Workers (Ind.), the International Association of Machinist’s (Ind.), and the ITU’s local 16 •of Chicago which is striking against daily papers in the Chicago area. Briefs supporting the NLRB’s request for the injunction were filed by the American Newspaper Publishers Association, the Inland Daily Press Association, and the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association.

RUSSIANS MAKE (Continued frnrn r<K< peace, the Russian charge said, was made by Max Aitken, son of Lord Beaverbrook, in Lisbon in September, 1941. Aitken was said to have talked to Gustav Von Koever, a Hungarian. Aitken was represented as proposing a separate peace sometime during the winter and spring of 1942. (In London, Aitken said he was on duty with a night fighter squadron in Coltishall, England, in September, 1941. He said he stopped in Lisbon in January, 1943, on his way to the middle east but never had heard of a Gustav Von Koever.) 0 GRAIN MARTS (Continued from <age 1) National’s price cuts brought bread down to 11 cents for a one pound loaf, flour to $1.85 for a 25 pound bag, sliced bacon to 59 cents, rib end pork chops to 43 cents.
