DEFENDS “IRMY USE OF VACCINE
Medical Journal
Says Jaundice Preferable To Yellow Fever.
¥- CHICAGO, July 28 (U. P.).—The Journal of the American Medical association said in an editorial today that the development of jaundice among army personnel apparently from the use of vaccine against yellow fever was far less serious than an epidemic of the fever would be among soldiers fighting in tropical areas. ere is every reason to believe that vaccination . against yellow fever is warranted,” the editorial said, “and that the occurrence of 62 deaths and some 28,000 cases of jaundice associated with the vaccination of millions of men is far tless serious than would be an epidemic of virulent yellow fever.” The editorial said the vaccine had been tested in “hundreds of thousands of cases” and had been adequate. Procedure Is New
“The procedure is, however, a hew one and, as with all procedures in the field of medicine, the use of any new technic in the field may yield information which is quite different from that obtainable on preliminary testing.” The Journal's statement was pubJished in answer to an editorial ‘appearing in the Chicago Tribune which had charged that the army medical corps had been “guilty of a grievous error of judgment.” The Journal said ‘the editorial “has done a disservice to American medicine” and that “by the fears it may create among soldiers now being inducted into our armed forces it will injure morale.”
STATE MERIT BOARD OPENS EXAMINATIONS
To meet competition in the present labor market the state personnel | division is now accepting applications for typist and stenographic positions when filed. Previously applications were taken during designated periods only. The same practice now holds true for the positions of guard in penal institutions attendant in state hospitals and teaching and physician applications. Official announcements of examinations and application forms have been sent to the county welfare departments and the U. S. employment service offices.

TO MANY a lonesome guy at the dial of his radio, Kate Smith is a Mme. Schumann-Heink, only about three times better.
He wouldn't admit it, of course, but he loves her like he loves his mother. Anything she says is straight . and there never was anybody who had a finer voice. A lot of these guys, when they went into the army, wrote Kate and said they sure thought she was terrific. Also, would she kindly send some of her records? Kate was impressed. She went to Kay Kyser and he ‘was impressed. Both impressed, they went to Columbia records and Columbia was impressed. Victor, too. \ t ” 2
Organized Collections AND SO FIVE PEOPLE big in music organized Records for Our Fighting Men, Inc., Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York. That
was on June 1. The incorporators were Kate (moon - over - mountain), Kyser (ole professor), Dr. Fritz Reiner (Pittsburgh long-hair), Sigmund Spaeth (tune detective) and Gene Autry (give me my boots and saddle and old guitar). They got right down to work and formed an idea, which Is this: 1. You give away your old, unwanted, broken and cracked records at the neighborhood drugstore. 2. The American ‘legion will collect them and turn them over to the Records for Our Fighting Men, Inc. (Or if you can’t get to the drugstore, call RI-0772, Legionnaire Frank L. Volk will take care of em.) 3. Records for Our Fighting Men, Inc., will sell the records for scrap to Columbia and Vic-
ASKS ADEQUATE RECORD SYSTEM
Commission Urges Officials To Modernize Public Document Files.
An effort to have public records more closely supervised in Indiana, especially those dealing with the war, is being made by the State Commission on Public Records. Christopher B. Coleman, secretary of the commission, has sent letters to all circuit court judges and county clerks, urging them to have their county public records commissions set up supervision machinery. Mr. Coleman said many old records that have no value are taking up valuable space in public buildings and that records of permanent value are being lost or destroyed for lack of space.
Given Legal Power to Act
County records commissions were created by the 1939 legislature and
given power to sort out public papers and books, destroying useless ones to make space for permanent ones. Marion county’s record commission was organized three years ago, but after the first few organization meetings nothing further was done. The commission is composed of the county clerk, circuit judge, and county commissioners. County Clerk Charles R. Ettinger said it has been difficult to determine what records should be
kept. “Members of the commission Hiss been able to agree to what records should be destroyed,” he said,
But Why a Hair Dresser, Benito?
NEW YORK, July 28 (U. P.).— One of the planes that accom-
panied Premier Benito Mussolini on his trip to North Africa was shot down by the R. A. F. and Mussolini's personal chef and his hair dresser both were drowned, the British Broadcasting Co. said yesterday in a broadcast recorded here by the Columbia Broadcasting system. . The BBC broadcast did not explain why baldheaded II Duce had need of a hair dresser. Also in Mussolini's entourage when he crossed the Mediterranean hoping to ride into Cairo in triumph was Serafino Mazzolini, former Italian minister to Cairo, who was to have been designated protector of Egypt, BBC said.
STORK FOOLS SERGEANT
SANTA ANA, Cal. (U. P.)— Technical Sergt. John Weber exhausted a three-day leave of absence while waiting for the stork to report at the San Jose hospital, where his wife was confined. He returned to his post, only to receive a telephone call upon arrival from San Jose that the everdue stork had arrived with a six-pound bun-
dle. He was granted a new leave.

Capt. John Ford Reported Missing
CAPT. JOHN WILLARD FORD JR. has been reported “missing in action since July 19” with an army air force bomber squadron in the Pacific. Capt. Ford, son of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Ford, 3951 Broadway, was a graduate of Shortridge high school and Butler university. Upon his graduation from Butler in 1938, he enlisted in the air corps. "The 26-year-old captain was given his basic training at Randolph and Kelly fields and then transferred to Langley Field, Va. In January, 1941, he was ordered to Hickam Field, Hawaii. His parents received notification Sunday that he was missing. Capt. Ford was born in Cleveland, April-2, 1916, but had lived here from 1918 until he enlisted.

Five Million Spent Each Month to Build
Defenses.
By NAT A. BARROWS
CopyFIRHL, 1942, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News. Inc
BALBOA, Canal Zone, July 28.— The army spread out a map covering an area half the size of the
United States and said bluntly: “Let there be an air field here . and an anti-aircraft position here . . . and a road here!” Col. Gordon R. Young of Washington, D. C., U. S. Army division engineer at Panama, picked up the map and went to work, Today, seven. months later, he and his thousands of civilian employees of the engineer corps have accomplished in the Panama area what is hardly less than a miracle. Nowhere has the army been faced with a more gigantic or varied undertaking,
Vastly Increased Defense
Braving personal dangers along isolated coasts and in the savage jungles, surmounting the perils of malaria, dysentery, insect bites, tropical fungus infections of the skin and digestive disorders, the men “before the guns” have pro-: vided the Panama canal with a vastly increased inner and outer ring of defenses. Enough can now be revealed to tell the American people that the lessons of Pearl Harbor have been applied to the whole Panama canal area—ifar more than the outsider can realize. In roads alone, the engineer corps has laid enough construction both in Panama and the widespread “outlying district” to make a two-lane highway from New York to Baltimore. The number of airfields, barracks, gun positions, magazines, wharves and water works is enough fo take care of ... well... plenty of soldiers and aviators. A

A Record of Records THE WAY IT'S being figured, Indianapolis should donate 150,000 records, Indiana 1,400,000 and the country as a whole 37,500,000. From this they'll get $937,500 to buy 5,000,000 new records and phonographs for the boys who do the real fighting. And it won't all be Bounce” stuff. They figure 40 per cent of the boys in the army would rather hear something like “Tales of the Vienna Woods” and likely something heavier. Maybe a good solid Beethoven. Don’t get the idea, though, that this thing is just starting. Not at all.. It’s been going on since July 17. It closes Aug. 2. Rummage around. Then take them down to the drugstore. Or call RI-0772.
INDIANA SCRAP QUOTA IS SET
WPB Asks State to Collect 715,000 Tons of Iron And Steel.
The war production board has asked Indiana for 715,000 tons of scrap iron and steel in the six months ending Dec. 31. The Indiana quota is part of the 17,000,000 tons the WPB conservation division says is “the minimum amount of scrap necessary to charge furnaces to capacity and to provide sufficient stock piles to insure full time operation throughout the winter months.” The industry has approximately 3,000,000 tons of scrap on hand, which represents one month’s supply at current war production Taies, WPB said. Indiana is listed in region 6 of the national quota which also calls upon Illinois for 1,790,000 tons; Iowa, 245,000 tons, and Wisconsin, 375,000 tons.
