AMtbertouapubttsbed bit of President Truman's political carter has just been revealed by his friend George K. Allen. In his MW hook, “Presidents Who Have Known Me.” he says that in 1943 Sen. Harry 8. Truman was offer ed the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee. PostmasteoGenerai Frank C. Walker, . who then held the position, was anxious to retire. He tried in vain to persuade Truman to take his place, but the latter refused, believing that the work of his senatorial committee, investigating the conduct of the war. was too important to give up. He could have had the right political bunch. -—o—o Going To Retire: Maynard A. “Dyke” Frislnger, a former Decatur postmaster, postal employe and city mall carrier tor twenty-seven and one-halt years has applied for retirement from the postal service. “Dyke." as he is familiarly known, began his employment with the post office Department in 1902, following his graduation from high school. With the exception of about ten years, all of his adult life has.been devoted to the postal service. He has an enviable and honor- -- able roeord and a* ha prepares re retire from active duty - after "'■■■. wwlhttif! 1 y liiMW. tp J serve local patrons, we hope he Is blessed with many years' of good health and fortune.

Nov. id— (UP)— ( Enough ballots are thrown out of , every Indiana election for improper | marking to change the outcome of many cloae races, political observers said today. Thousands of ballots are tossed out and not tabulated because sense , voters don't know the rules, they said. Votes on Australian ballots are , lost by the hundreds In nearly every Hoosier county for various , reasons, among them: 1. Use of acheck mark instead of an “X," and "X's” outside the emblem circle when they should be Inside. 2. Markings both In the emblem circle and the squares at the aides of candidates' names. 3. Use of fountain pens and pencils other than the blue pencils furnished each voter at the polling place. . 4. Signatures or initials of voters on the bottoms or backs of the ballots In addition, many machine voters violate the one-minute time limit or fail to complete their voting because they seek to locate candidates by name instead of number. Election officials and political spokesmen declined to estimate the probably average vote loss through improper markings. But many believed one percent would be conservative. It that is true, then more than 10.000 ballots were thrown out last .week. Observers believed the discard volume would be even greater if it were not for party workers and newspapers whs Instruct voters in the proper way to cast their ballots Suggestions nt pre • election "schools" In county courthouses to ' WHWT B tion from politician)!, who said the majority of voters would be shock ed if anyone told them they didn't know how to vote. "There wouldn't be anyone at the Schools," they said. But long-time poll workers say most of the discarded ballots are cast by older persons who probably have been losing their votes for many years. In Johnson county, where of--1 'trials eslimutrd several hundred ballots were tossed out. one preI cinct election ls>ard member re VeKled he watched fvlfew board member* throw -out- his own ballot.
