Registrants Report Changes Os Address Selective service registrants are required -by law to keep their local boards informed when they change their address after they -become 26 years of age, as well as before. Lt. Col. Lyle Summers, state selective director, gave the fore'going reminder this week in discussing what he said was a general misunderstanding as to responsibility of registrants who are beyond the age of liability for service. "Men cannot be inducted after they reach 26 under the selective service act of 1948," Col Sumers said, “but that does not mean they are relieved from obligation to keep their local boards informed as to a new address, where they may be reached by mail.” Yost Crane Badly Damaged By Thieves Prowlers hammered the locks off a Yost Construction company crane after dusk Thursday, stole 20 gallons of gasoline and five gallons of oil, and did extensive damage to Jie device’s interior.

From Page One) — , bllity. He suggested an exces.’ i profits tax on corporations only. ! There was a scattering of sug- ( gestions that the money come from a graduated net income tax, from gross income tax exemptions, and from a luxury tax. Some of those who favored the sales tax made it clear their opinion was based on the result of the ! Nov. 2 referendum, when Hoosi iers voted overwhelmingly for that • method in preference to four other f suggested methods. Among the > sales tax supporters, several thought it should be dropped Im- > mediately after the bonus was , paid. Among those favoring Increased gross income tax rates were several who thought the rates should , be flatly doubled. ! But while most of the legislators seemed to have definite opinf ions on the subject, there was a , sizeable group which declined to comment or hadn't decided. The U. P. questionnaires were sent to all 149 members of the legislature, which meets Jan. 6 for a 61-day biennial session. The 75 replies represented more than 50 ■ percent of the membership of the I house and nearly 50 percent of the , membership of the senate. The I replies came from 36 Republicans , and 38 Democrats and one assem- ! blyman who failed to identify his ! politics. I 80TH CONGRESS (Cont. From Fsrr One* - inand.’’ i Ives said he had not discussed with Gov. Thomas iE. Dewey the ■ plan to unseat Taft although he had told the governor last weekend : that senate Republicans were hav- : ing organization problems. Taft I was chief conteder against Dewey for the GOP presidential nomina-

tion last June. The contest is a backfire from the surprise defeat of the Republican party in last November’s elections and will reach throughout the party structure. The Lodge-for-chairman bloc wants more liberal party leadership without which many younger Republicans believe the GOP is lost. There is no such Republican leadership dispute in the house. Speaker Joseph W. Martin, Jr., who guided the house on a course somewhat more conservative than that of the senate in t>he 80th congress, will be GOP leader there when the new congress meets. His chief lieutenant will be Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Indiana, Republican floor 4 .leader in the congress now expiring. The rebels against Tafts senate leadership may widen their front to present a full slate of "young Turk" candidates for top party jobs in the next senate. That strategy still is to be determined. While Republicans dispute among themselves the triumphant Democrats are agreed on all but one spot in the new congress organization. That is president pro tempore of the senate, largely honorary, it is sought by Sens. Kenneth -McKellar, Tenn., and Millard E. Tydings, Md.

INDICATES (Cont. From Page One) ment said, “and clearly give such indications, the government will be only too glad to discuss with them means to end the war." The statement then outlined five conditions imposed by Chiang for any possible peace with the Communists and, presumably, for his resignation: 1. The peace should be such as would not be detrimental to the Chinese national independence and sovereignty. 2. It should contribute to the welfare of all the people. 3. The Chinese constitution should not be violated, and a constitutional democratic form of government should be preserved. 4. The organizational entity of the Chinese armed forces should be safe guarded. 5. The free way of life of the Chinese people and their minimum

living standard should be protected. If those conditions are met, the Generalissimo said in what sounded like a farewell address to the people he has led through so many years of war, “I shall be satisfied." But if the Communists are unwilling to agree in principle to these conditions as a step toward a negotiated peace, and if they decide to continue to fight, the government is determined to rally all its forces for the battle, Chiang said. If the fight must go on, he added firmly, "I confidently believe the government will win out in the end, and that this day will mark the turning point of the war. If the war continues, he said, the
