As he traces the moves of the world’s greatest war on his maps, he could—if it were not out of character—turn from the daily headlines and say: “I told you so.” In 1918, when the Germans] were asking an armistice tacked, the War Department nd that would keep the first ne Army Chief of Staff.

HONOLULU, Jan. 29 (U. P). —American Legionnaires Eddie Aquilina and Ernest Herrmann of | Hollywood had a letter on the way to Emperor Hirochito today —they hoped. They posted one, addressing it to the “Future Former Emperor.” “The tourist season is definitely over,” they wrote, “and the fighting season now is in full swing. Expecting you back—to see your backs. Love—with bullets and bombs.” Aquilina said he hoped the letter somehow would get aboard a bomber and would be delivered with bombs. '“We wouldn't expect the pilot to wait for an answer,” he said.

Leila Welsh

SENATE GROUP SLAMS LANGER

Committee Asking Ouster Cites Disregard for

Public Service.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 (U. P) — The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections today accused Sena[tor William E. Langer (R. N. D), of “continuous, contemptuous and | shameful disregard” for the con-

| cepts of public service and asked | the Senate to uphold its integrity by unseating him.

The committee's report, written in support of its recent 13 to 3 vote for his expulsion, accused Langer | of: “Gross impropriety, lawlessness, shotgun law enforcement, jail breaking, violation of oath as an attorney, rabble rousing, civil disobedience, breach of the peace, obstruction of the administration of justice, and tampering with court officials.”

Claim He Defied Court

The report substantiated in general the charges brought by a group of North Dakota citizens. The Committee described him as a state official who was “a king that could do no wrong.”

“He would defy the highest court of his state with force,” the Committee said. Throughout his career he had little use for law and order, but in attempting to prevent and suspend civil process upon himself he reached the high point in his continuous belief that might is superior to right.”

Langer declined comment on the report. Senators Tom Connally (D. Tex.), Abe Murdock (D. Utah) and Ellison D. Smith (D. 8. C), who voted to support Langer, also declined comment.

Various Charges Listed

Charges against Langer, former Governor of North Dakota who was removed from office by the State Supreme Court, ranged from jury tampering and acceptance of bribes during his governorship, to breaking down the doors of the county jail and stealing a drug store. The Committee reported that while Langer was State's Attorney General he disguised detectives as laboring men to raid Minot, N. D, saloons and houses of prostitution. One of those raids, it said, led to Langer's arrest for inciting a riot after the Governor had ordered out the National Guard and ordered the Guardsmen to “shoot to kill” if Langer came within 20 feet of them day or night.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 (U. P.) — President William Green of the American Federation of Labor said today that a House committee's charges that labor organizations had made “tremendous financial gains” at the expense of the armament program were “utterly without foundation or substantiation.”

FARMER-DRAFT PLANS SCANNED

Johnson: County Likely to Become State Model of Co-ordinating Needs.

Hoosier farmers focused their at- | tention today on Johnson County where plans were under way to solve a wartime agricultural production problem felt by nearly every county in Indiana. | Principal site of the new U. S. Army Camp, Johnson County may become a model for a State-wide plan of co-ordinating farm labor needs with draft quotas. Confer on Deferments Maj. Bayard Shumate, assistant State Selective Service director, planned to confer with Johnson County farm leaders early next week on the question of deferment for essential farm workers. The Johnson County problem is complicated by conversion of thousands of acres of farmland to military use and the County Draft Board has issued a blanket induction postponement for draftees whose families will have to vacate their land for the Army camp.

DELAY INSTALLING AMARANTH HEADS

A public installation of officers of the Indianapolis Chapter, Order of the Amaranth, scheduled this evening at the Claypool has been postponed indefinitely. Mrs. Gayle Steele, organization secretary, said the postponement was caused by the death of Mrs. Malinda Colins, Evansville, mother of Mrs. Harry C. Giesel, Royal Ma-tron-elect of the local Amaranth Chapter.
