automatically.’

The answer, one of the few delightful” ones which the _ Hoosier taxpayer hears, is

hat license plates and drivers’

licenses don’t have to be purchased until after Jan. 1. The deadline is -March 1. The 1941 Legislature fixed the Jan. 1 to March 1 period by law, but most citizens have forgotten what the Legislature did last spring, license bureau officials find. 3 Uncertainty Removed The legislative act was passed to remove the uncertainty which existed in the minds of Hoosier automobile owners because of the acts of past Indiana governors in extending at the last minute the deadline from Dec, 31 (the date fixed by law) to ‘March 1. The law fixed the purchase period at the same time as that which former governors found it advisable to fix by executive order. License bureau officials are preparing now for the sale of 1942 license plates and drivers’ licenses. The new Republican branch managers and their employees are getting instructions in their duties at a school being conducted by the license bureau in the State House this week. And R. Howell McDaniel, license bureau head, says that application forms for plates and driving licenses will be ready to mail imedisisly - after Christmas. ,

CRIMINAL COURT GETS BINGO CASE

Action Follows Dismissal of Charges Before Judge McNelis.

New affidavits were to be filed in Criminal Court today against four men arrested on gambling charges in connection with the recent raid on an alleged bingo game in the parish school gymnasium of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church. The new legal move was announced by Prosécutor Sherwood Blue today following sudden dismissal of the cases in Municipal Court 3 late yesterday. ’ The dismissals, made only a few minutes before the men were scheduled to go on trial in Municipal Court, were not explained immediately. However, Prosecutor Blue said today that his office wanted the cases tried in Criminal Court so that they can be appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court for final adjudication. The dismissals were protested in Municipal Court by Edward J. Fillenwarth, attorney for the defendants, who declared that a motion for dismissal should have been in writing. The affidavits had merely been marked “dismissed” before.the case was called. Mr. Fillenwarth said the defense was ready for trial and demanded a hearing, but Judge John L. McNelis' said he couldn't act on cases hat had been dismissed by the The defense attorney -indi‘cated that he was certain of acquittal if given a trial. The defendants are Clifford

BULLITT NAMED AS NEAR EAST ENVOY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (U. P.). —Allied diplomats predicted today that the immediate visible results of the imminent meeting between Marshal Henri Philippe Petain and Adolf Hitler probably would be Vichy’s adherence to the antiComintern pact. These sources said increased collaboration between Germany and France as result of the meeting would ‘ unfold gradually in future actions. Officials remained silent on the proposed meeting. But President Roosevelt made clear his interest in. the Mediterranean and Africa as a scene of winter hostilities by the appointment of William C. Bullitt, - veteran: diplomat and former Ambassador to Russia and France as his personal observer in the Near East.

PLAN REVAMPED CONVOY SYSTEM"

Greater Co-operation Between U. S. and British Navies Is Object.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (U. P.. —Naval sources today said the ‘North Atlantic convoy system would be reorganized in the near future to provide greater co-cpera-tion between the United States and British navies. There was @ possibility that some steps would be taken to formalize joint action by the two navies to protect the convoys. The new system, it was said, probably will be similar to that employed with noteworthy success toward the close of the las: war when both British and American cargo carriers sailed in the same convoys under the escort of naval vessels of both nations. ; Under the present arrangement— which was described as an “informal” one—American naval vessels provide protection not only for the U. S. flag merchant ships sailing to Iceland but also to Eritish| merchantmen for a distance approximately half way across the ocean. The American naval vessels, under Presidential order to shoot Axis war vessels on sight, still are ostensibly on “patrol” rather than convoy duty. nder the reorganization, it was said, it was likely that American and British vessels Jointly would escort convoys all the way across the Atlantic. American cargo vessels, carrying lend-lease | supplies, would move in a ‘convoy from U. 8S. ports to a point in ‘the Atlantic where they would be joined by a convoy of British ships from Canada and sail as a single convoy for- the rest of the jeurney under dual protection. Naval officials said the first of the American merchant ships to be armed probably would be ready for service within a few days. The ship is the West Nohno, which is or Sqnipped with a deck gun at New or

NEW DISEASE AFFECTS LUNG

Discovery of Unrecognized Ailment to Affect T B - Diagnosis. By Science Service - WASHINGTON, Nov, 26—A coms= mon but not yet recognized disease has been shown by U, 8S. Public Health Service. scientists. to be the cause of tiny limestone formations in the lungs previously thought due to tuberculosis. Because physicians have taken these tiny spots shown up on Xray plates to be due to tuberculosis lesions that have been cured; the new findings will probably cause a change in medical : diagnosing of many. cases. “Curiously, the new disease is highest in areas where there are extensive limestone and chert’ formations; that is, in areas adjacent to the Appalachian Plateau.

Study Rural Area

These observations, made by other scientists, aroused the Public Health Service to make an independent study. It selected Ross County, Ohio, an arca adjacent to the} Plateau, where lung calcification is common, but tuberculosis fatalities not above ordinary. Rural families were selected in order to rule out as far as possible contacts with tuberculosis outside the household. More than 200 in 44 farm households were X-rayed and tuberculin tested. Of 253 persons effectively &-rayed, 125 showed the limestone formation in the lungs—but none had significant tuberculosus lesions. Of the 235 who were tuberculin tested, 194 were negative. Fiftysix with negative tuberculin tests showed lung. calcification.

Disease Unrecognized

The existence of an unrecognized disease of very common occurance is suggested by these investigators. It appears to produce the lung lesions closely resembling the Xray picture of primary tuberculosis. They believe, therefofe, that the finding of lung calcification particularly in tuberculin-negative persons should not be assumed to be evidence of tuberculosis infection. With tuberculosis apparently ruled out, the Public Health Service scientists next considered the ascaris as a possible cause of the lung calcifications. Ascaris is a tiny, parasitic worm, which in the larval
