Tomato Juice
Turkey Day Gift of State
Governor Townsend today sent a case of Indiana tomato juice to the National Thanksgiving Observance Committee
which is to serve a Thanksgiving Day Dinner at Plymouth, Mass. Each state was requested by Hugh R. Maraghy, Observance Committee chairman, to send a “distinctive product.” In his letter accompanying the gift, Governor Townsend said: “I want your committee to know that one of our Indiana canning firms started this idea of making and marketing tomato juice, which now is sent . all over the land. “We selected this tomato juice as a distinctive product of our State. I hope that when it becomes a part of your Thanksgiving Day feast this year, you will think of ‘Indiana as one of the important surplus food producing states of the 48 and realize, as do all our people, that we have much for which to be thankful.”
RURAL TAX RETURNS T0 BE INSPECTED
State Unit Seeks to Find Gross Income Evaders.
A gross income tax inspection campaign In Indiana rural areas will be conducted next month, Clar-
ence A. Jackson, gross income tax director, said today. The campaign is to be based upon additional means of locating delinquents and |evaders provided by a question which appeared on the 1938 personal property assessment sheets. The question, “Did you pay any gross income tax to the State of Indiana with respect to your gross income for the preceding ‘calendar year?” was included in the amendments to the Gross Income Tax Act by the 1939 Legislature, Mr. Jackson said. | Township assessors and deputies were mandated by the law to require an answer to the question. The new interrogatory on the as-| sessment sheets, Federal income tax returns, information returns filed by employers and others paying out money are being used. by agents of the division in a survey of farm in-

ROAD URGED AS INDIAN TRIBUTE
State to Consider Request Highway Be Named ‘Delaware Trail.’
Requests that ‘the road known both as 71st and 73d St., which now
way, be named the Delaware Trail in memory of the Indian tribe, have been received by the State Planning Board. L. H. Moorman, director, announced today that the request,
which first was made by Emsley W. Johnson, attorney, and has now
been indorsed by the community,
would be presented to the State Highway Commission for formal adoption. When the road is improved it will connect Road 31 with Road 29 and Road 52. From Meridian St. west {he trail angles north from 71st St. on Meridian Hills Boulevard to 73d St., where it turns west. The road becomes 71st St. again west of Road 99 after turning slightly to the south. Prior to 1818 the Delaware Indians lived along the banks of White River between Muncie and Noblesville, Mr. Johnson said. On their trek westward the Indians are believed to have crossed White River where the dam now is located in Broad Ripple.
RICHMOND BOND ISSUE DI DISPUTED :
City Fund Tronshe Halted By Temporary Order.
RICHMOND, Ind., Nov. 22 (U. P.). —A hearing will be held Friday to determine whether city officials shall be halted permanenty from taking $127,000 out of the municipal light plant’s depreciation reserve fund to purchase a bond issue to finance construction of a new school gymnasium and auditorium. Circuit Judge G. H. Hoelscher issued a temporary order restraining officials from making the transfer. The injunction petition contended that the City has no right to purchase the bonds because:of a State law providing that all municipal funds must be deposited in a bank approved as a public depository. The depreciation fund contains approximately- $186,000 in liquid assets. The Second National Bank purchased a bond issue of $127,000 and then refused the issue after being advised by its attorney that such action was illegal. A PWA grant of $103,000 for construction of the building has been approved.

RIVAL MEDIUM IS 6000, TOO
Mrs. Timmer, er 71. Says She Has a ‘Magnetic Impulse’ - Hand.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22 (U. P).— Alice Bell Kirby, 13, whose reported psychic powers have done wonders down in Louisiana, had a rival today in a 71-year-old Manhatan medium.
She was Mrs. Antonea Timmer, “maghand to the Universal Council for Psychic Research. Alice came to New York yesterday to demonstrate her reputed ability to cause tables and even pianos to float in the air, for the Council, bute announced that her “power” would not work until Dec. 15. Joseph Dunninger, chairman of the Council, said he had seen Mrs. Timmer lift metal cbjects, such as spoons and silver coins, and levitate tables with her “magnetic impulse” hand, and also make a piano play a number by itself. He was not ‘prepared” to say she has supernatural “power.” The Council will decide. In a preliminary scrimmage, Alice worked out on a New York table, but it wouldn't budge. All she got was a date—Dec. 15—from the spirits, she said, and until then there would be no use trying tabletilting.

LUDLOW TO PUSH WAR VOTE BIL
Says Proposed Measure Has ‘Wishes of the People’ Behind It.
Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 22—President Roosevelt's rearmament program and the current controversy with Germany over mistreatment of the Jews has not caused Rep. Louis Ludlow to change his mind about a war referendum amendment to the o Constitution he declared today. “Now, more than ever, we need the assurance that democratic processes will be followed before we are dragged into a foreign war,” Mr. Ludlow said. ' “The World War settled nothing and another would be even worse. I am convinced that the common citizens of all countries are opposed to entering another conflict. They know that it would be suicidal for them because of the increased destructive power of modern arms. . “So I intend to introduce my war referendum resolution at the. opening session of Congress and feel that it will be adopted if the wishes of She people back home are carried out.” Elected for his sixth term, Mr. Ludlow will be dean of Hoosier
