‘ty from which they move buys their books if they wish to sell providing the locality to which they go does not use the same text. Then the

| book can be sold to some other

child moving into the school. “It also provides that the teachers actually teaching the’ subject have something to say about selecting the book that is best suited to their needs and would be a better judge than someone who hasn't been in the school room for possibly 20 or 30 years. “It also provides that no book shall be selected or approved that _ does not uphold our highest ideals

of patriotism and their democratic

form of government. “All of us are anxious to promote legislation and to help bring to war a speedy close, and while doing this it is necessary that we don’t overlook some much-needed legislation concerning our local government. What is more essential than giving our children a proper education? “If a state board can select one good textbook it can select three or four more. Surely no unfit book can get into the hands of teacher by this method. Those who" believe in home rule would have to indorse this method.” And in a recent open letter, Senator Lane said: “Should a free textbook law be passed without any change in the, book adoption law, the school book racket would become even greater,

BIG TRUGK CRUSHED BETWEEN 2 TRAINS):

A semi-trafler truck owned by the Trans-American freight line was crushed between two New York ‘Central trains near the English

driver slightly injured. The truck driver, Robert Bailey, 83, Cincinnati, O., was ordered to report Wednesday in municipal court room 4 to answer charges of failing to heed a railroad crossing signal, Police said Bailey apparently waited for one train, a passenger, as he headed east on English ave. but failed to notice that it was closely followed by another train.

- Both trains were outbound and

moving slowly, police said. When Bailey drove onto the tracks his truck was hit by the second train and carried about 500 feet up the tracks where it was pinioned against the back of the passenger train. The truck cargo was damaged and Bailey receivad

made an appointive office during the McNutt administration and was returned to elective status by action of the ’41 legislature. The attorney general draws a salary ol $7500 annually. Meanwhile, legislators got down to work today with all the customary opening formalities now out of the way. A number of important bills, including the highly controversial local option law, were scheduled for introduction early this week. L. E. York, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, who is leading the local option fight characterized the local option question as an issue between the people and the liquor traffic in an address yesterday at the Epworth Memorial Methodist church . a8 South Bend. “If the liquor laws are left unchanged, it will be a clear cut decision for the liquor traffic, but if ‘the people are to be recognized, thy legislature will grant the voters the right of self-protection by extending to them the right of the ballot to decide whether liquor shall be forced in upon communities against an overwhelming majority of the citizens of such communities,” he said.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Jan. 11] (U. P.).—Approximately 5000 anthra-, cite miners returned to work today| as government mediators sought to end a 13-day work stooppage that has caused serious coal shortages along the eastern seaboard. Fifteen thousand others failed to vote on resumption of work, ignoring demands of solid fuels Co-or-dinator Harold L. Ickes. Another 3000 voted to remain away‘ from work. The 5000 miners returned to their jobs at Truesdale, Loomis and Wanamie collieries of the Glen Alden Coal Co.,, and the Dorrance mine of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co.

WAVES, SPARS

To Train af Hunter

NEW YORK, Jan. 11 (U. P.) — Plans were underway today for removal of 2200 girl students from the Bronx division of Hunter college, which is to be converted into the nation’s largest “boot camp” for training female efilisted personnel of the navy and coast guard. Rear Admiral Edward J. Marquart, commandant of the third naval district, announced that a contingent of 2500 WAVES and SPARS would begin work at the new training site Feb. 1. They will be the vanguard of some 6500 to 10,000 who will be trained there. The property has bene taken over under a lease arrangement with the board of education. It consists of four buildings and a spacious campus.

BILL PUTS PLANT BACK IN DECATUR

Decatur township carried its long standing drive to regain the Harding st. plant of the Indianapolis Power and Light Co. to the legislature today. A bill introduced by Senator Hoyt Moore (R. Indianapolis) would wipe out the boundary change by which county: commissioners -pldced: the Harding st. plant in Perry township several years ago. “Residents of Decatur township feel that a great injustice was done them when that change was made,” Senator Moore said, “and we feel that enactment of this bill will be

no more than justice.”

The bill. introduced by Senator Moore would restore the old boundaries, returning the property to Decatur township, and would prohibit further township boundary changes without a petition from 50 per cent of the freeholders involved. Legislative action is now the last resort. For several years the feud between the two townships was in | the courts and ‘the shift of the power and light property to Perry | finally was upheld.

DIRECT’ TALKS

Axis” Rumor That Churchill "And Eden Have Come to U. S. Is Denied. ° LONDON, Jan. 11 (U. P.).—Reobservers

sponsible said today that offensive strategy during what may

| be the war's decisive year demanded

ed that the development of the Russian winter offensives and the steady it slow moves toward a decision in Africa apparently provided a basis for such contact. Informants said that they believed either Prime Minister Winston Churchill or Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden should go to Washington to confer with President Roosevelt on the way in which allied offensive operations might be developed. : The Nazi Paris radio reported Saturday that both Churchill and Eden had left for Washington. This refort was untrue, when it was put out, and also was regarded as unlikely. Eden is leader of the house of commons and he and Churchill would hardly leave the country together. Either could go alone. It was pointed out that each prey vious British-American contact had produced definite resulis—the Atlantic charter, the defensive strategy Which though it did not save the Far East gained time, and the North African offensive which some believe may prove the war's turning point. If a new meeting were held, the program would be expected here to include the North African situation, which is complicated by a complete political mess, the condition of Germany in view of Rus'sia’s victories, and the time and place for the next allied offensive.

Afterward, Mr. Early continued, Mr. Flynn phoned the White House “and talked to an official here who told him erroneously that the president was sending his nomination to the senate Friday.” But the committee meeting announcement resulted in press inquiries to Mr. Flynn, and Mr. Flynn made his announcement “believing naturally that the nomination had gone to the senate.” The senate did not meet Friday or Saturday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (U. P.). —Wiley Blount Rutledge, nominated by President Roosevelt today to succeed James PF. Byrnes as an associate justice of the supreme court, is the first high justice Mr. Roosevelt has selected from the federal judiciary. He is the eighth candidate for the supreme court that Mr. Roosevelt has named, and the first to replace a Rooseyelt-appointed justice. Rutledge, only slightly known outside of legal circles, is a product of the Tennessee backwoods country, like Secretary of State Cordell

He learned the fundamentals of law by listening to cases in the Maryville, Tenn., courtroom. Rutledge worked his way through Maryville college, first working in a sawmill, then on a farm. Then he went to the University of Wisconsin and graduated in 1914 with

an A. B. degree. Later he studied

Lieut. Ciov. Charles Dawson, who also is state commissioner of agriculture, today urged all Indiana farmers to participate to the fullest extent in the farm mobilization day program tomorrow. The lieutenant governor said ho issued a statement on the matter because hie had been asked frequents ly for his opinion on the mobiliza. tion day. : “A gathering of the front line workers of the nation on the food production front can be productive: of much good in the offering of suggestions to solve the problems that face American agriculture and: the men and women who are la< boring under exceedingly difficult: circumstances,” he said.

“It is my opinion that farm mobi« lization ‘day will offer Indiana farmers an excellent opportunity to act en masse to present in a tangible way their problems to the people of the nation.
