first plant to process domestic ho bristles into paint brushes, urgently | needed for finishing of war mate riel, began operation in Princeton A. H. Mohrhusen, manager of the brush division of the Devoe & Reynolds Co., owners of the factory, explained the importande of the Princeton innovation to a state convention of the Painting and Decorating Contractors yesterday at the Lincoln hotel. Salvaging of American hog hairs, he declared, was necessitated by entrance into the war when previous imports from China, Poland and Russia were halted. In an effort to stave off the threatened shortage of paint brushes, he added, manufacturers now are clamoring for domestic bristle. They also are reclaiming as many old paint brushes as possible and reconverting them into new products, he revealed. The Devoe & Reynolds Co. has recruited a number of experienced “hog bristle dressers” from among refugees who immigrated to this

TO FINAL VICTORY’

By UNITED PRESS Japan yesterday broadcast a declaration from her military overlord, Premier Gen. Hideki Tojo, that she and her allies would not stop fighting until final victory. But the Tokyo radio, in an official army statement intended for the Japanese empire, referred to a shortage of shipping and administrative personnel for the occupied regions and observed that “first of all, the domestic structure must be solidified.” Tojo spoke at the war ministry to his officers, radio Tokyo said. He forecasts that the economic resources won by Japanese victories would enable Japanese troops to achieve further victories. At the same time, he stressed the necessity of increasing Japan’s war strength, Speaking after Tojo, the Japanese navy’s spokesman, Capt. Hideo Hiraide, declared that new large Japanese battleships “are now at the front line of the Pacific battle, as well as new aircraft carriers constructed according to the most recent war experience.”

AGT PROPOSED

| Would Create War Director

And Increase Powers

Of the Governor.

LegfSlation designed to revise the civilian defense set-up in Indiana is proposed in a state war act draft-

led by the Indiana state defense

council for-Submission to the coming legislature. The bill would abolish the present advisory and administrative defense councils and create an office of state war director and a bi-partisan state war council. Under its provi-

ed to the governor, permitting .him to exercise any or all power over persons and property necessary or expedient for meeting the war emergenoy. Made Public Today The suggested bill was made public today in order that there might be public discussion of it before specific recommendations are made to the general assembly in January, civil defense council officials said. The proposed bill would repeal the state defense act passed at the 1941 session and is designed to gear Indiana’s governmental machinery to the pace of modern war. In it provision is made for a state war emergency fund to meet any emergency such as disaster, evacuation, temporary housing, relief or rehabilitation. Under the proposed act, the state war director, who would replace the present civil defense director, would be chairman of the state council of 20 members appointed .by the governor on a bi-partisan basis and representing various governmental agencies and civic groups. Members would serve without pay. Provides for Directors The act also would provide for county war directors appointed by the governor and subject to the supervision of the state director. Cities and towns would establish councils with the approval of the county war director. This would, in

the present OCD councils in operation but, in an emergency, they would be granted greater powers. Other state acts were studied and their best features included in the proposed act, it was said. The broad powers proposed to be given the governor are similar to those he could exercise under martial law. In general, the emergency powers would enable him to take measures deemed necessary to co-operate with officials of the federal government and other states in the conduct of the war. He would direct state and local government officials, use state and local government property, regulate communications and transportation, and could commandeer any personal services or privately owned property in event of an attack. Copies of the proposed act have been mailed to legislators for study.

BLAME ‘SAME MAN IN

When the purse- snatcher opened the purse he grabbed early this morning from Mrs. Clancy B. Walter, 2040 Park ave., he probably was very disappointed. .All he found in. it were some cosmetics. Another snatching a short time before was attributed to the same man. The other victim was Miss Joan Smith, 24, of 2037 Central ave. As she was walking to her home about 12:15 a. m, a man came up behind her, struck her on the mouth and departed with her purse. She reported it contained $18 in cash, a fountain pen and ear rings.
