Local Rotarians. who recently purchased a sls horse to be cared for by members missing two consecutive meetings, today considered an application for employment from A1 Feeney. “I'm out of work again,’# the ousted Indianapolis milk administrator told them yesterday, “so you might hire me as a white elephant and leave me on the dooistep of absentee members instead of the horse. I have the distinction of having been fired both by the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor, all within the last six months.” He then explained that he couldn’t—with propriety—discuss either milk sheds or state police departments, but would ‘‘take a chance” on a few remarks concerning athletics.

Byrns predicted today that congressional action would be completed before 2 tomorrow on the baby bond bonus bill.

As King, the free-and-easy manner, the informal appearances in public, the globe-trotting, the night-clubbing, the comparatively simple manner of life, will all become impossible. And, unlike all his long line of predecessors, he probably has not an enemy in the world. He counts his close friends by thousands, ranging all the w-ay from haughty dukes to humble soldiers of the ranks in Great Britain and all the far-flung dominions and colonies.

In the once proud German house of Hohenzollem, it was an historical fact that the Crown Prince was almost always at loggerheads with his kingly father, associating with statesmen, political leaders and generals who were in opposition to the King's policies: and keenly awaited the hour when he could mount the throne in his turn. mam IN British history, too, the r e have been Princes of Wales who seemed impatient to mount the throne.
