Strickland Says Coupons Will Be Removed for Hoarded Stocks.
Persons who have stocked up
count for it just as sugar hoarders did their sugar, James D. Strickland, state OPA director, said today. The accounting will come some time in January when war ration book No. 2, one of the three new ‘‘general purpose” ration books, is distributed. Meantime, war rationing book No. 1, the sugar book, is to be used for coffee rationing, which begins Nov. 29. Under the present plan of using the sugar book, people can use the stamps without reporting their supplies. However, when the coffee rationing is taken out of the sugar book, consumers, before receiving book No. 2, will be required to make a statement on the amount of coffee they had at the beginning of coffee rationing. Mr. Strickland advised consumers to purchase no coffee on sugar stamp *27 during the five weeks after Nov. 29, if, on Nov. 29, they have more than one pound of coffee per adult member of the family on hand. The individual adult can have one unreported pound of coffee and no more.
Purpose Is Explained
For example, if a family of three adults, eligible to receive coffee rations, has six pounds in the home at the start of rationing, this family should not purchase any more coffee during the first ration period covered by stamp 27 in the sugar book. And this family will have to report one excess pound of coffee in its application for book No, 2 for each member registering. “The purpose of coffee rationing is to insure a fair distribution of the entire coffee supply of the United States,” Mr. Strickland said. “Consumers who have in their possession more coffee than they will need currently, have a disproportionate share, They should use up their excess before they are permitted to draw further on the common stock. And they should use it at exactly the same rate as if they had procured it through the regular ration rules.” Mr. Strickland said that coffee stamps in the ration books of chil dren ineligible to buy coffee must be left in their books and surrendered at the time war ration book No. 2 is issued. He “aided: “Appropriate action will be taken when it is found that the coffee stamps of children whose age as shown on their war ration book is less than 15 and those of consumers with excess supplies are missing from their war ration book No. 1. These stamps in No, 1 book include numbers 20 to 28.”

URGED TO BACK WORTHY BILLS
Be a Helpful Minority, Schricker and Bays Tell Legislators.
The 30 Democrats who will serve during the coming session of the
legislature were urged to be “a helpful minority” by both Governor
Schricker and State Chairman Fred
Bays here yesterday. The legislators met at the Claypool hotel for a pre-session conference and elected State Senator Walter Vermillion of Anderson and Rep. Robert Heller of Decatur as minority leaders in the senate and house of representatives, respectively. In his address, the governor urged the legislators to “stick together and vote as a unit. “Don’t,” he said, “support. unnecessary legislation, and keep your records clean.”
Urges Quick Session
Mr. Bays advised the legislators not to “throw monkey wrenches into the legislative machinery and to support all worthy legislation.” The Democratic state chairman challenged the Republican majority to complete the legislative business in less time than the 60 days provided by law. Both Governor Schricker and Chairman Bays urged the legislators to do everything possible to pass legislation covering the planks of the Democratic platform. The governor mentioned specifically bills to provide free textbooks ‘and increase unemployment compensation payments to $20 a week for 20 weeks.
Touch on Merit Law
He said he favored the payment by the state of minimum pay for school teachers, if it is financially possible. And regarding schools, he suggested the possibility of combining income from the gross income tax, common school fund and excise taxes into one fund. The governor said that adequate appropriations must be made to provide for pay raises for institution personnel. The topic of institution personnel brought up the state merit system law and the governor commented that he believed the merit law was passed at an “unfortunate time.” He said that because of the war and jobs being plentiful the merit board had been unable to supply institutions with personnel when requested. He added that in one state hospital there are now 69 job vacancies and said that the population of the hospital has increased.
How to Conserve Funds
On the Republican proposal that some of the $20,000,000 surplus in ithe state treasury be frozen, the governor commented that he believed the best way to eonserve funds was simply “not to appropriate them.” Other Democratic senate officers
Inamed at the meeting were John
S. Gonas, South Bend, caucus chairman; Victor E. Aldridge, Terre Haute; Blaz A. Lucas, Gary, and Leo J. Stemle, Jasper, members of the steering committee. Other house officers named were Matthew E. Welsh, Vincennes, caucus chairman; Betty Malinka, Gary, caucus secretary, and Frank J. O'Rourke, - Hammond, to serve as a member of the steering committee along with Reps. Welsh and Heller.

HEAVY CRUISER
IN HEROIC ROLE
San Francisco Likely to Be Decorated for Defeating Bigger Jap Ship.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (U. P.) — A sleek American cruiser which licked a Japanese battleship three times her size and will be ready soon to fight again for her country took a place today alongside other gallant ships and daring heroes in American history, The warship was the heavy cruiser San Francisco. She was the spearhead of an American naval force that attacked a larger Japanese fleet early last Friday morning off Guadalcanal. The San Francisco led the daring maneuver in which
‘|the American vessels steamed at
high speed through the entire Japanese fleet with guns blazing on both sides and broke the back of the|enemy offensive. President Roosevelt paid tribute to the San Francisco, her officers and men in a radio address to the New York Herald Tribune forum last night and also revealed that: “The commander of the task force of which the San Francisco was a part has recommended that she be the first of our navy’s vessels to be decorated for outstanding service.” If the ship is decorated, it would recall the recent decoration bestowed on the Island of Malta by the British king. It was aboard the San Francisco that Mr. Roosevelt’s close personal friend and former naval aid, Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan, was killed in action. He commanded
