The removal of parking meters , along Monroe street' and setting back parking lines At the First, Second and Third street crossings, follows a recommendation of the Indiana state highway commission. Clearing these crossings of cars will give better visibility to the traffic lanes and should eliriiiinite the chance of accident, the state highway engineers explain. It will be a violation to park tOO close to the corners and new yelIbw lines will be placed along tile curbing, to designate the lawful parking areas. —O O—i—In his'speech at West Point Military Academy’s 15t)th anniversary, President Truman said the Communists might renew a full scale war iii Korea, in view of the breakdown in trqce negotiations.

J- —4) I Modern Etiquette I BY ROBERTA LEE o e I Q. When a girl has been married and divorced very shortly afterwards, and is marrying again, is it proper to send her wedding gifts again, in view of the fact that she did not make much use of the gifts? A. There reallj’ is no obligation t<j> send gifts again. But certainly, if you feel so inclined, there is nothing at all improper about it. Q. Is it proper to take a present ' to a “farewell party” for a friend who is leaving for the army? A. If you are a very close friend of that man and are able to give him a gift you know he can use, such a gift is all right. But this is not expected of you. — Trade in a Good Town —Decatur!

— _ ft —-- North Carolina Vote Is Sought By Russell Taft Backer Claims 78 Percent Os Need Washington, May 22 —\ (UP) — Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia counted on North Carolina to provide him with a big bloc of Democratic convention delegates today but Florida campaign problems kept him worried. Carolina Democrats were scheduled to name 40 national convention delegates with 32 votes — the second largest southern delegation — at today’s state convention. Before leaving to resume his Florida campaign, Russell told reporters that he expects to get the support of a substantial majority of the North Carolina delegation, although it may be offically “uninstructed.” The campaign organization of Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, another candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, also ( claimed ■ support in North Carolina hut did not expect to win a majority. On the Republican i side. Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio headed into South Dakota to campaign for votes in the, June 3 primary. It will be Taft’s last primary test and his only remaining pre-con-vention race against Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, his chief rival for tlie GOP presidential nomination, David S. Ingalls, Taft’s campaign manager, said in a statel ment that the Ohfpan now has 4.7| delegates, or 78 percent of the 604 needed for the nomination. The United Press tabulation of instructed and publicly Committed delegates gave Taft 386 and Eisenhower 360. kill Ingalls also said Eisenhower had made "the biggest blunder” of the campaign by saying at Oslo, “if the people want me for president, they will know where to find me.” Eisenhower’s headquarters in Paris announced he will turn over his command of European defense forces to Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway on May 30 and taks off \for home May 81. He is due in Washington Jpne 1 where he will report to President Truman and then return to civilian clothes. A newsweek magazine poll of t 50 leading political writers in Washington showed that 35 of them think Eisenhow;er will get ( .the Republican nomination and il ' think it will to: Taft. Three . guessed the GOP nominee wil) be . Gov. Earl Warren of California, and one said it will be Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, On the Democratic side, seven persons were mentioned. There were 20 guesses for Gov. ; Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, 17 for Kefauver, sevbn for vice president Alban Barkley), three for mutual security direetbr W. Averell Harriman. and one each for Eisenhower, Russell, and Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson. Newfoundland’s sealing industry, which once saw as many as 400 ships leaving St. John’s harbor early each March, has been revived in the post-war and is again I adding materially to the island’s income. i ■'■■' r H -1 '■ i i ii
