Do you remember your New Year's resolution? o —flit has been many years since newspaper readers saw January' sales advertised, but they are appearing this year. o o The western states seem to have, suffered the blunt of the snow storm. States that never before experienced drifts and cold weather, are now buried deep in snow. For us around here, we are willing to, share the blizzards with other parts of the country. o—o— - Conn J. Sterling of Fort Wayne, who has a wide acquaintance in this city, lias been appointed director of the Indiana Cross Incomei Tax Department. It is one of the most important posts in state gov- j eminent and friends here are happy over the Fort Wayne man's selection. —„ o —() Which of tin- three forks will I the legislature follow in financing | the soldiers' bonus. The gross income, sales lax or excise lax routes? Tb.e bonus will be paid, the problem of colie ting the money being the only consideration 1 before the legislators. Governor' Schricker is opposed to the sales tax method, but says he will no veto the plan if the assembly' establishes that method of payment. o— —o— A committee has been appointed by Mayor John M Doan to study the need for a larger ami more convenient Youth Center and to investigae jm>. -Abilities along that, line. The youth of the city would I like a more commodious center ami it is gratifying to know that the original endeavor, that of es ablishiug The Den. has created the desire for a larger place. We realize that ,-ivic buildings cant he pulled mi! of the air. but also are firm in the belief that Decatur ian sometimes do the impossible. As the navy says, it just .ikes a little longer.

Civic bodies in Portland are at-' tempting to raise $15,00-0 for a new Youth Center building and two donations of FLOW each boosted the fund beyond the $5,000 mark. The building will be located in the city park, adjacent to I Portland and success of the campaign is practically assured. While the effort is very commendable, it may be found that the $15,000 , will not finance a building adei quat e for the children. These I places grow in popularity and it is our guess that larger quarters! 1 . , I i will be required. ( i — o ——o , i In the welter of charges and ; counter-charges over the shooting', down of British military planes by f Israeli fighters, the one clear fact 1 is that the incident was unfortu- J I nate in the extreme. Until the muddied waters have settled a little. it would be pointless to try to i decide which were more in the j wrong, the Israelis for attacking 1 tlte craft of a neutral power or the 1 British for sending armed wari raft over an area of combat without troubling to advise Israel , I of their intention to do so. • ——o —o i t China's Situation: The report on China by William I (.'. Bullitt, for a joint committee of 1 1 1 , Congress, appears to be a con- | ■firmation of the conclusions which, I , already have directed the policy ■ ' jof this government in the current; development of the Chinese civil war. I 11 The conclusion of the report was, , I that economi and military aid 'to the Nationalis government ' might delay the Communist con- j i , quest ol China but would not pre-1 < vent it. Mr. Bullitt advanced the theory II that substantial economi. and mill- , tary aid his figure was sMm.mm.in ti plus an able general and GUO officers of the United States Army | to take over command and direc-11 'inn of the Nationalist armies,! could turn the tide. While not of- j sh ially stated, it is generally be-' lieved that this course of action! also had been considered in Washington. It has many faults. Pri- ' marlly, it would make the United States a party to the war; we would be at war with the Commun- 1 is s of China, perhaps in the end with Russia. It probably would i not work, anyway. During the war with Japan Gen Stilwell tried to get Chiang Kai-shek to agree to American command of the Chi- : nese armies, but failed. It would involve cleaning up the corrtiPtion in the Chinese command, and Chiang has shown no sign that he is any more amenable to the idea of reform now than he was a few years ago.

DISORGANIZATION (Cont. From Page One) results.” But it warned that proper safeguards against unwise reorganization plans lie in sound exercise of the presidential authority and in the power of congress to disapprove any proposed plan. The commission, it was learned, has put a final okay on eight major reports drafted by its committees or “task forces.” There art--15 to go, 12 of which are near completion.

The value of the railroads to the economic hie ot g Indiana-and our Nation-is tremendous. Not only g for do your railroads provide overall freight service which g Ret cannot be performed by any other mode of transpor- g tation, but purchases by the railroads in Indiana on a | MAK per capita basis-the monies they spend, above taxes, | 100 in the Hoosier State-are greater than in any other ■ ble industrial state in America. ■ FOR [ Railroad passenger business, too, is important in our B het state’s economic life. g In( ] JFe need your business and you need ours! g May there be a continuance of this fine spirit of coop- F eration, which has prevailed for 117 years.
