Dr. Kheirallah is on a speaking tour, telling the people that while the name of the territory is “French North Africa, it is populated by Arabs who are tired of exploitation and wish- to guide themselves.” He is author of the book “Islam and the Arabian Prophet,” a biography of Muhammed, which is considered the only authoritative work in English from an Arabian and :| Muslim standpoint. While here, he is visiting A. F. Zainey, 605 N. LaSalle st., who pub-] lishes the magazine, Syrian Ark, the only English language magazine in this country published for Syrians. His son, Ahmad Ali, has been sworn into the U. 8. army air forces and soon will begin training.
NO OPTIMISM IN. " ANTHRACITE ‘ROW
NEW YORK, Jan. 12 «U. P.).— The anthracite committee of 12, directing 18,000 striking Pennsylvania hard coal miners to return to their jobs “as the logical and American thing to do,” did not appear optimistic today. The committee—composed of six leaders of the United Mine Workers of America and representatives of operators—sent the following telegram to the strikers last night after a three-hour meeting: “Present stoppage of work at certain anthracite mines is in violation of the agreemeni between the anthracite operators and the United Mine Workers of America. It is also in violation of a national policy not to strike for the duration of the war. Regardless of differences, the keeping of the agreement and the support of the war effort are paramount. “We are pledged to that end and we must make good on this promise.
and American thing to do, is for all men to return to work at once, producing coal for our country’s needs and that all matters in dispute be taken up in the orderly and democratic way for consideration and adjustment. The men now idle are directed to return to work and to comply with our contract and to continue to work in uniformity therewith.”
NAVAL VOLUNTEERS’ NEED BIRTH RECORDS
Volunteers who apply. through Ltheir local draft boards. for induction into the navy should bring birth certificates when they report to a designated navy recruiting station or sub-station. Registrants unable to secure birth certificates should go to the nearest recruiting station or sub-station for further information or advice, Commander R. H. G.

drawn by the council of state governments which would give Governor Schricker vast wartime powers, including the power to suspend laws.
That proposal immediately sent shivers down Republican spines and a special sub-committee was appointed by the G. O. P. steering committee to check into the bill,
The result was . that the subcommittee, headed by Rep. Lloyd Claycombe (R. Indianapolis) drew a new bill, which was in effect a counter measure. It would have taken control of the civilian defense program from the governor's hands by creating a sixman, bi-partisan 'war council, inclyding the governor, to direct the program, Many Republicans didn’t like the proposed. bill especially and they got to checking into the mat“ter. They found that the council of state government’s bill . wasn’t sponsored by the governor and that. cooled things off a lot.
So a meeting of Republican house and senate leaders was called yesterday at which it was decided that the present law, which was passed by the G. O. P. controlled ‘41 assembly, was a pretty good law after all and should #fither be re-enacted -or made the basis of a new law. (The present law expires in March.)
In a formal statement issued following the meeting, State G. ‘0. P. Chairman Ralph Gates pointed out that the present defense law, which gives the governor control, has been generally approved in the Middle West as a model bill. It was made clear, nowiver, by the Republicans that whatever changes are made in the present law there will be none to extend the governor's powers, The proposed changes will legalize county and other emergency activities. Chief peacemaker on the entire: matter was Frank T, Millis, assistant state defense director, who was the Republican house floor leader in the ’41 session. 2

Myers Urges Vigil DEWEY E. MYERS, newly elected president of the revitalized Indiana Democratic ‘club, * outlined the role to be played by the Democratic party in Marion coun=ty during the coming two years in an address at the club yesterday. “We must be a very militant minority,” he declared. “We must call to the attention of the public all the mistakes of the Republicans.” Robert Allison, the new first vice president of the club, backed up Mr. Myers by asserting that the Republicans “have” - been doing the squawking for 12 years and now it’s our time. And we're not going to let up on them.”

Favors Tubercular Tests
A plea for more freedom in tuberculosis testing was advanced by|: Dr. J. E. Tinder of Brook, president of the association. Dr. Tinder said “The high standing which the veterinary profession | fish holds today in my opinion demands more rights and privileges. One example of this is the testing for tuberculosis which should be put in the hands of the practicing veterinarian “with privileges to conduct a test without first obtaining an authorization. “This would shorten the procedure and render quicker service. I would like to see the state of Indiana have a diagnostic laboratory separate from .all other state and private concerns, non-political and with a staff of well-trained personnel.”

Welch, he brought Johns Hopkins to a top rank among the world’s medical schools. He was the last of the “big four” to die.
