The Farm Security Administration today announced plans for its sixth relocation project in Indiana

| —evacuation of the 500 to 600 farm

families from the site of the 52,000 acre Army camp to be constructed in Bartholomew, Johnson and Brown Counties. Dr. E. H. Shideler, State Director, said that a branch office of the FSA would be established at Edinburgh shortly to assist evacuees. The office will: 1. Serve as an information clear-ing-house for farmers seeking land available in other parts of the State or wanting facts regarding transportation or storage of animals and

Plans to Assist Evacuation

Government's check for the farmer's equity as security. Many of the evacuated families are expected to move into Knox, Benton and adjoining counties where a FSA sponsored corporation has purchased 21,000 acres of farm land from estates, insurance companies and absentee owners to be subdivided and sold to displaced families.

TRAFFIC HEAD IRKED BY SIGN VANDALS

Vandals who have been defacing and destroying traffic department signs are going to face a determined police drive, according to Capt, Leo Troutman, city traffic chief. Grown men—not children—recently have removed “no parking” signs so they may park where they wish, destroyed stop signs at several dangercus crossings and even used paint to black out, speed limits and no left turn signs, Capt. Troutman said. Men in cars, some of whom the police have descriptions,

have been seen committing such vandalism, according to informants.

Saturday, Jan. 10

The withdrawal of the Axis troops started the British on the second lap of a drive which, it was hoped, would carry them througn to the Tunisian border before Gen. Rommel again can make a stand. Military experts believed that even more important than Gen. Rommel’s abandonment of his Agedabia position was the fact that the British again had the main Axis forces on the move,
