Three Vets' Groups Acquitted By Jury Freed On Charge Os Lottery Violations Corydon, Ind., May 26—(UP)-— Three veterans groups, on trial at their own request on charges of violating lottery laws, were acquitted by a inale jury of rion-vet-erqns last night. The jury deliberated scarcely an hour after hearing prosecutor Eugene Feller describe a prize drawing planned by American Legion and (veterans of Foreign wars as a' violation of state law and Governor Schricker’s fecent anti-gambling edict. Feller is a' member of both groups. He was placed in the peculiar position of seeking to penalize his fellow veterans. Two Legion posts and B VFW post demanded the trial in advance of the drawing. They have been selling tickets to a homecoming program. Each ticket entitles the holder to a chance on a new automobile, farm tractor, and dozens, of other prizes. Corydon ministers complained. They said the drawing was “morally wrong,” Then the ex-service-men requested that charges be filed against them as a test case. They argued at their trial yesterday that the tickets were primarily for admission to the homecoming program.

Homemaking Tips Food. For The Hour ; i“An hour’s-earnings in a taetoiy may buy less of ripme things now than in the past: but it will buy more fotod.’t secretary of 4s rieuI * ture Charles F.; Brannan stated recently, using tttFa basis (hguree on prices arid earnings comp.ne; by the bureau of .labor statistics. Bread, and butter were two of the foods which the secretary used os illustrations. He pointed out that on an hour’s:average pay, a factory worker chp huy about the same number of . loaves of bread now as in 1949, but he can buy a fourth more loaves than in 1939, over a half more, than in 192 h, twice as many as in 1919 a|nd two and a half times Us many as in 1914. To be more specific, in February 1951 that hour’s pay would buy 10 onepound loaves of wh.ite bread compared to only 7.9 loaves in '39; only 6.4 loaves in '29; and only 4 loaves in 1914. As for butter, fdr that hoiir of labor in February, 1951, a factory worker could buy about as fnuch as in \1949 or i«h- 1939 —about a pound and a half, but thgt he could buy only i pound in the boom year of 1929, and only about a half pound in 19t|. As for meat, one hour’s average factory earnings today enables a worker to buy 1.5 pounds of round steak, but in 1929. it would b’Uy only 1.2 pounds. It buys 2.3 pounds of bacon this year, but only 1.3 pounds in 1929. It jbuys 2 pounds of pork chops thii year, but only a pound and a half in *29, and only abound in 1914. For this hour’s average pay fn 'sl, the factory wprker canl buy 2M dozen .fresh eggs but ip '29only 1.1 dozens He can buy more than 36 pounds of*, potatoes this year in contrast to ofoly about 1214 ;>ounds in 1919 and 1914. In calling attention to these figures, secretary Brannan Baid: •'None of my repent comments about the smaller | percentage Os income that buyp the same quantities of food, or thee limited share of food prices that reach the farmer, are intended to* suggest that workers generally are getting more than they should, or -that the farm’ er is riot improving his income But it does show that farming has become more k efficient, andf.that many of the efficiency have been (passed rife to the consumer.
