One-Time Basis For I I Indiana Is Favored ; • I Legislative Battle Looms On Question Indianapolis, Dec. 22—(UP)— An overwhelming majority ot Indiana legislators are in favor of keeping Hoosier clocks on an even I keel the year round. They think when it’s 9 a.m. at | Michigan City it ought to be 9 a.m. at New Albany and everywhere I else, too, winter and summer, spring and fall. They agree that the state should I be on a one-time basis. Hut they don't see eye to eye on the question of whether it should be fast time or slow time, a United Press survey showed today. Sixty-one out of 71 members of the 1949 state general assembly 5 who replied to a U. P. questionnaire inviting their personal opinions of state issues said they fav-' ored time standardization. The other 10 felt that no change should I ■ be made from the present system. 1 At present, Hoosier communities I are on Central standard time seven I months of the year. There is no ; state law governing daylight saving ! time. As a result, cities and coun- 1 I ties have a confusion of time zones J from May through September. It is left up to each to decide whether to adopt daylight time during the summer months, and the question annually causes a controversy in most cities involved. In the 1947 legislature, a bill to put all the state on daylight time during summer months was “indefinitely postponed" by a voice vote of the house of representatives. There are certain to be bills touching on the touchy time question in the 1949 assembly, and one of them probably will be the result of a Kokomo junior Chamber of 'Commerce movement to put the state in the eastern time zone instead of Central. The issue appears to have no political implications whatsoever. Os those who favored uniformity of time, 29 were Democrats and 29 Republicans. Os those opposed, five were Democrats and five Republicans. Two other Democrats, one a senator and one a representative, gave qualified "yes" answers. Three of those who replied, all of them Democrats, favored standardization only if the state was placed in the Eastern time zone. Those qualifications, while comparatively few, indicated nevertheless that there is a definite feeling among some of the lawmakers that Indiana should change from Jone time zone to another. Two Republican representatives favored standardization but opposed daylight saving time. A Demm Scrat representative felt the same way. Another Democrat representative thought daylight saving time should be standardized. “I favor fast time for the whole state," said a Democrat representative. One Democrat representative declined to express an opinion on the subject. He said it was "not important." ——— Birthday Postponed Chicago (UP) — One of the strangest items found stored in a I furniture warehouse here was a | birthday cake.

I of Manila. Central figure in the Sugame i prison drama was bald, hatchetfaced Tojo, the 64-year-old virtual war dictator of Japan, who took j over the reins of the power-drunk nation two months before the Pearl Harbor sneak attack. It was Tojo who gave the order that, sent 150 Japanese planes and seven midget submarines against I the Hawaiian Islands on Dec. 7, 11941,I1941, in a surprise raid which l caused the deaths of more than ■ 3,000 Americans and crippled the American navy for many months. At the time of the attack, two Japanese emissaries were talking peace in Washington. Tojo drove the Japanese war machine from October, 1941, to July, 1944, relinquishing the premiership only after it because obvious the war was lost. Tojo shot himself below the heart in an attempt to commit suicide on Sept. 11, 1945. But he was saved by American army surgeons and lived to become the only one of the three Axis dictators to be tried for crimes against humanity. Doihara. known as the "Tiger of China" and the "Lawrence of Manchuria," was the Japanese most hated by the Chinese people. He was the brutal, swaggering manufacturer of “incidents” to further Japan’s expansion of th® Asiatic continent. He and Hirota were the two men who appealed to the U. S. supreme court in a vain last-minute attempt to escape the noose. The high court held that it was without jurisdiction to review a case with such an international complexion. Hirota, premier of Japan during 1936 and 1937, was one of seven leaders of the insideous Black Dragon society, secret nationalistic organization that spread a pall Now 24 hour service on developing and printing your Kodak films. — Kohne Drug Store. 285-T

of fear over Japanese-occupied territories during the war. It was Hirota’s cabinet, the allied tribunal found, which formulated Japan’s original policy of national expansion over east and southeast Asia. His government signed the anti-comintern pact with Germany, sealing Japan’s partnership with the Axis. Seishiro Itagaki, a close personal and professional friend of Tojo, was war minister from June 1938 to August, 1939. During the war years he was commander of Japanese forces in Malaya, Java and Sumatra. Kimura was vice-minister of war under Tojo and later commanded Japanese forces in Burma where numerous atrocities were committed. He, with Itagaki, signed the surrender of Singapore
