INDIANA SIGNS TWO “PACTS ON TRUCKING

Reaches Accord With lowa, Wisconsin Officials.

Indiana officials have signed a full reciprocity agreement with Iowa on truck licenses and a partial pact with Wisconsin. Mark Rodenbeck, assistant Motor Vehicle License Bureau administrator, said today the agreements were signed during conferences in Chicago Saturday. The agreement with Wisconsin, which has been barring Indiana trucks operated in that state without Wisconsin license plates, provides for free entry of only private trucks from Indiana. This classification was described as trucks carrying only the owner’s goods. “Wisconsin's laws prevent officials of that state from signing any reci-

procity agreement covering common carriers,” Mr. Rodenbeck explained. This means that Indiana businessmen may ship their goods td or through Wisconsin in their own trucks without paying Wisconsin fees, but the “for hire” trucks running regular freight lines must pay all the Wisconsin license fees upon entering that state. “

Mr. Rodenbeck said Wisconsin has been putting presure on Indiana truckers to buy Wisconsin -licenses for more than a year.

The license war came to a head recently when Wisconsin began arresting Indiana truckers and Indiana state police began retaliating.

Actress Dares Perils of War

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 5 (U.P.).— Producer Cecil B.

Lloyd's policy pushed through. The policy, costing $50,000, would have insured . Paramount that Miss Carroll would survive the submarine and air bomb perils. x ; “I've simply got to see mother and attend to spme business in Paris,” she told him. “And the © trip's perfectly safe, This is an Iltaliag liner, “el ee

Meet little Miss Courage! She's T-year-old Patricia Bunch. which prevents her from walking or sitting, has been attending the Woodruff United Presbyterian Church Sunday Scheol and church

Patricia, despite an ailment

She

little toes. Patricia is brought to church on a padded stretcher and she must lie there during the entire service.

Patty, as she is known to those who have learned from her to “laugh and the world laughs with you,” is the radiant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Bunch, 338 N. Forest Ave.

They offer a graphic example of how parents can convert a child’s adversity into a benediction to all who meet her. Since two years old Patty has had a spinal ailment. Time alone knows when she will play and romp with other children. Parents Read to Her . Most little boys and girls say they are going to be G-men or nurses when they grow up. Patty answers the question of her future with just one word: “Wait!” Naturally she has never gone to school for even a day, but she is alert and alive to current events. Both parents read devotedly to her hours at a time—child fiction, newspapers, and the Scriptures. That's the reason Biblical. characters are flesh-and-blood characters to Patty and she goes to church hoping to hear more about them and to learn them better. ‘ Of course she also is eager to

mingle with the little boys and girls in Mrs. Edward Woolery’s class.

Church Friends Aid

She does not mind the fact that in her seven years she has seen only two movies—one of them being “Snow White”—and those fantastic characters still dance in her memory. : x For a time the Rev. W. C. Ball, pastor at Woodruff” United Presbyterian, brought her to church in his own car. ~ Afterward his son, Billy, assumed that happy . responsibility. Now George Crouch, Sunday School secretary, is her chauffeur. "And, incidentally, Billy was married the other night. Patty went to the ceremony. In keeping with best traditions she asked, .from her stretcher, “May I kiss the bridegroom?’ Then she also kissed the bride, the former Miss Anita Abbett. Patty has an ear for music. She follows the “hit parade” on the radio and does a swell job of picking them out on ga little toy piano. To meet Patty is not to forget her!

GANDHI REJECTS BRITISH OFFER

Dominion Status After War Falls Short of Independence Demands, He Says.

BOMBAY, Feb. 5 (U. P.).—M. K. Gandhi, Indian Nationalist leader, today told the Marquess of Linlithgow, Viceroy of India, that the British Government's offer of

‘| dominion status to India after the

war falls far short of the independence demands of the Indian Nationalist Congress. Gandhi told Lord Linlithgow that he could not accept the British offer. Further discussions, accordingly, were deferred. : Lord Linlithgow met Gandhi at New Delhi in an attempt to break a, deadlock “created by the independence demands of the Congress. “"Raiders- Driven Off Disorders in the northwestern frontier province, attributed not to any independence move but to what British authorities regard as ‘normal” raids by bandit groups, continued. A Bombay dispatch said that three military cars were held up five miles from Bannu and that two of its occupants were killed. Frontier province troops drove off the raiders. Today’s conference between Lord Linlithgow and Gandhi was one of a series which the Viceroy is holding to try to solve the constitutional dispute. ‘Other Conferences Held

REHEARING REFUSED

ON MAGISTRATE LAW,

State High Court Reaffirms Stand on Validity.

The Indiana Supreme Court today denied a petition for a rehearing of the case involving the constitutionality of the new law providing for appointment of magistrates to hear traffic cases. The Court three weeks ago declared the law constitutional, reversing a dicision given by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox.

Judge Cox held the law invalid on the ground that it gave Circuit Court judges the power to create courts. The Supreme Court’s decision today held that the Legislature created the magistrate courts and merely delegated to Circuit Court. judges the power to appoint magistrates at their discretion. The Supreme Court instructed Judge Cox to grant a rehearing of the Beech Grove’petition.

Diocesan-Chancellor Hints Censorship May Have Barred Talk. |

DETROIT, Feb. 5 (Us. P.).—The reson for Father Charles E. Coughlin’s dramatic disappearance from the air waves was the closely guarded secret of his associates today. The Rev. Edward J. Hickey, chancellor of the Detroit archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church, suggested that priests .delegated hy Archbishop Edward A. Mooney to pass on Fr. 7oughlin’s speeches beiore delivery had found something they deemed to be “unsuitable.” Father Hickey thus revealed thal a procedure initiated by the late Bishop Michael J. Gallagher in 1936 still was in effect. Bishop Gallagher, then Father Coughlin’s c.clesiastical superior, accepted Father Coughlin’s suggestion that he submit his manuscripts to anothe~ priest for “tempering.” Father Coughlin had. -termed-- President Roosevelt “the great liar and betrayer” in a speech in Cleveland.

Mystery Is ‘Built Up’

The mystery was built ‘up during his Sunday afternoon radio hour with the skill of a movie scenarist. Instead of the usual oratory, there was an hour of music, interrupted by four announcements as follows: 1. Pranklin Mitchell, father Coughlin’s announcer, began the hour by exhorting listeners to telephone their {friends to tune in at once for ‘significant announcements.” : Shortly afterward, Mitchell announced: 3 2. “And now for the first significant announcement: I am instructed to say, ‘Father Coughlin will not address you today. No person will address you today over this microphone. I am not authorized to give any explanation.” ‘Then the music and after some 20 minutes, Michell said: : 3. “I am instructed to say, ‘pay no heed to idle rumors which will be circulated this week.
