191-DAY SESSION | PLEA SHELVED

“Enough Is Enough,’ Senate "Decides in Postponing Resolution.

Even Indiana State Senators think “enough is enough” and proved it last night by postponing indefinitely #1 House Joint Resolution calling for an amendment to the Constitution extending the legislative period from 61 to 91 days. Democrats and Republicans alike frowned on the measure and took the floor in denouncing it. Senator Bruce Lane (R. Bainbridge) opined that “if we spent half of 91 days here the state would be better off and if only half the number of bills were introduced the people would be better off.” Senator Ben Herr (R. Lebanon) said “the people back home hold their breath now for 61 days and if they had to do it for 91,.I think

JEWS AND ARABS NOW: ARE ALLIES

Make Peace in. Palestine To Fight Common Foe: With Britain. By MILTON BRONNER Times Special. Writer WASHINGTON, March 6. — The lion and the lamb have lain down together in peace and harmony in Palestine, according to advices received here. Where not long ago Arabs were sniping aft Jews, and Jews were working on their farms with rifles at their sides, the two branches of the Semitic race now are reported to be fairly solidly allied in aiding Britain’s prosecution of the war. Only two years ago the British Government, which holds the mandate for Palestine, was compelled to station a large army there. From every hillside, from every hedgerow, from every hut, there was apt to be a blaze of rifle fire or an exploding bomb. The Arabs were reputedly fighting any further expansion of Zionism in Palestine and any further immigration of Jews into the Holy Land. It long was suspected—and now has been substantiated—that much of the trouble was fostered by Germany and Italy. Nazi and Fascist propaganda agents financed many

of the uprisings. The military strategic importange
