Local Option Sill Is Lost In Shuffle Bills Unlikely To Reach Legislature Indianapolis, Jan. 19—(UP)— Local option, a controversial issue for nearly two decades in the Indiana general assembly, seems to be lost in the shuffle of other more pressing state problems in the 86th legislature. Local option referendum proposals. a perennial hot issue for legislators, would ban the sale of liquor in counties, townships or other political subdivisions if a majority of the people there voted against it. ‘‘lt’s a aeaa pigeon,' said Democratic freshman Sen. Judson H. West. Indianapolis. "I haven’t heard a w’ord about local option. But if it should come up 1 would offer an amendment that any dry county could not receive any alcohol tax revenue. And I know that would be the last we'd hear of local option.” Rep. Jess Andrew. West Point, a five-term veteran Republican in the house, agreed.

“It'll take a brave man to bring! it up. The sentiment you get by nosing around is all against it,’ said Andrew. The opinion in both houses, disregarding party lines, was that a local option bill didn't stand much chance of introduction, let alone enactment. But most lawmakers indicated they'd just as soon the question didn't come up again. They said either way they voted they were bound to alienate some voters. “And there’s no point in losing a vote unless you have to,” one said. Twelve varying local option proposals have been introduced in the seven regular sessions since liquor came back to Indiana in 1933. The wartime 1945 session was the only one in which the question did not arise. But all of the dozen measures died in committee or were “indefinitely postponed” when they came up for second reading. Usually the legislators were able to kill the bills without a recorded vote. Only one, and that didn't call for local option directly, but merely for a statewide referendum to see if the people wanted such a law, got out of the house in which it originated. That bill was introduced by Rep. Robert A. Hoover, R.. Goshen, last

Stolen Painting Is Returned By Mail New York, Jan. 19.—(UP)— A valuable painting stolen five years ago trom the .metropolitan mu seum of art has 'been returned mysteriously by mail, museum officials said today. The painting, a 14th century panel of St. Thomas, was valued at ?3,000 to $5,000 and was stolen March 22, 1944. It was the only major burglary in 22 years. Museum officials said the paint-, ing arrived by parcel post last Friday. It was wrapped in brown paper and carried a non-existent New York address. ——' time. Hoover said today: “If the question stays dormant, I’m willing to let it alone. But if it comes up again—it's been bothering us ever since I first came down here in 1935 —I'm for a referendum, so we can get an honest count of the people." WORST COLD (Cont. From Page One) $250,000 damage. Five towns in southern Missouri and four in northern Arkansas were

isolated. Snowplows and work crew? at- ! tempted to clear the streets of Kansas City where traffic was forced to a standstill yesterday by the heavy snowfall. Schools were closed and stores planned to close early to give workers plenty of time to reach their homes. The snow piled seven inches j deep at Oklahoma City, and Cha- j nute, Kans., six inches at Kirksville, Mo., four inches at Burlington, la., and five inches at Rockford, 111. Chicago, which had expected five-inch fall, was saved by winds | from Lake Michigan that staved off the storm’s full brunt. , The fourth blizzard in two weeks stalled buses and trains in huge drifts in the Dakotas. Passengers of two buses stranded between New Underwood and Wicksville in the South Dakota Black Hills region walked to safety at Wicksville. Rescuers drove their cars as near as possible to a doubleengined Chicago and North Western passenger train that stalled in a 12-foot drift near Wall, S. D. All passengers were removed safely. i — January Clearance Sale now going on. — The Rosemary Shop. T
