Fewer Bachelors In State Os Indiana ‘ State Percentage i 1 Is Below Average ' INDIANAPOLIS? U - P-—A beauty queen and a bachelor were at odds today over, why Indiana has fewer unmarried men- than most states. The beauty said it was because the girls- developed sharp ijnaletrappink wits. The bachelor said it was because the girls are “so domestic.” . ' ’ U. S. census reports showed Indiana has a smaller percentage\of single men 14 years old and above than any ( states except Florida and Oregon.

. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Following is the first of a series of five articles- on what’s wrong with the postal service and ’what the new administration proposed to do about it.) By JOHN L.

The new administration holds out no hope for leaver rqtes, but does expect to cut the deficit, which has to be met out of general taxes. ' y. . ’ • The department has been out of dhe red only 13 times in the last 100 yearA The last time it showed a profit was during the war years of 1943-45 —when th© arnied forces carried a big chunk of the mail at their own-expense. \ The deficit climbed from $129.000,000 in 1946 iid the .present estimate of <670,000,000.

They also resent comparison with a private business enterprise. The last Democratic postmaster Jesse M.

H„ said “powerful interests” may be blocking color TV- until the market is “saturated” with bliick and iX’hite sets. Johnson said the federal communications commission and various manufacturers should be called to explain whjA “the public should not have the full benefit of .this improvement in the ai\t of communications.” Meabwhile, the Columbia Broadcasting System blamed the federal government for the delay in putting dolor television sets on thle market. The network siaid soon after commercial color television broad-; casting had been approved by the government in 1951, the national production authority issued ari order preventing further manufac-' tupe of color receivers. Although iithls order was later lmodified\ it ' was not enopgh tp enable substantial output of color sets, CBS said. CBS won FCC approval for its Color TV system more than two years ago and started broadcasts on a small scale. This activity was suspended when set construction was frozen because of the defense emergency. j .'Since the freeze was relaxed, broadcasters and manufacturers have been trying to develop a "compatible" system which could .receive color and black-on-white broadcasts of the same receiver. *The CBS system would have required an adapter for present sets to receive color in black and white and a converter to receive color., Johnson suggested that Tobey’s .Committee explore industry reports that color tube has been developed that would retail for ibout S6O when placed*.ln mass production. i \ . .■ 4 FUNERAL RITES J <C»«tinned From Page One) government had a policy of averting war he warned “let no ope think that our enemies can rout ■ • » “Our enemies think our loss will bring disrTay in our ranks, but they will be disappointed,” Beria Buy happiness for crippled children.
