STATE'S ‘RUML PLAN IS BEATEN

House Votes Down- Baxter|

Plea for Installment Tax

Payments.

Indiana’s proposed “little Ruml ~ plan” to permit payment of property taxes on ‘an installment plan was defeated in the house of rep- - resentatives yesterday |. Despite a plea by the piIr's author, ' Rep. Alva Baxter (R. Indiaapolis), _ that [installment payment of taxes could be set’ up with little inconvenience to county treasurers and that the plan actually would save money, the house voted the measure down 58 to 25. - | Rep. Baxter contended that by permitting taxpayers to pay in 11 monthly installments, the counties would have a constant flow of income |and would be spared the expense of paying interest on tex anticipation notes. -

Feared Peril fo System

Opponents of the bill declared, however, that it would be impossible ‘to put into operation and would wreck the present system of collections. . In . house

another aetion yesterday the passed a bill to revive the office of state school attendance officer by voting a $4000 appropriation for salary and office expense. There has been no state attendance officer since 1939 because both the 1039 land 1941 general assemblies _refused to appropriate sufficient funds. : ‘ . os

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (U.P.). —Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the No. 1 American woman member of the “short snorter” club, lost three bucks yesterday because she could not produce her “short snorter” bill.

The other “short snorter” members present to whom Mrs. Roosevelt had to pay $1 were Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau 3nd Vice President Henry A. Wallace.

Fort Home After Hitting Jap Warship.

By HAROLD GUARD United Press Staff Correspondent WITH ALLIED FORCES SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA, Feb. 23 (Delayed).— When Japanese anti-aircraft guns Rabaul, on New Britain island, Capt. Paul I. Williams of Norman, 1okla., handled his big flying fortress like a pursuit ship and: got her home safely after socking three bombs into an enemy warship, “It was .the hottest mission I've ever flown,” Williams said today. His plane’s tail was battered by an ack-ack shell. Capt. Fred Dollenberg of Philadelphia, piloted another fortress which scored near misses on a 7000ton enemy cargo ship in the raid early today. “I'll never forget it,” Williams said. Wee were sure lucky to get out okay because those searchlights got us and held us the whole time, and the ack-ack wag thicker than

close. A Perfect Target

“We glided through a thick cloud and a bright, three-quarter moon lighted up the target perfectly. The warship was lying close inshore. It couldn’t have been a better layout. We had a great timerunloading all our bombs at once and three of them hit the warship squarely.

“The bomb explosions caused. our plane to lift skywards, so you can guess how low we were when we cut loose. Actually the ships’ antiaircraft fire and the searchlights didn’t- get started until after we had loosed our bombs. The heavy stuff didn’t worry us but the lighter guns and .50-caliber machine gun threw up a solid wall of tracers. “I. remembered the old axiom ‘don’t worry about the tracers you can see, worry about the ones you can’t’ but I couldn’t feel comfortable with those flaming onions zipping up between the motors. We had to move plenty to dodge the searchlights.”

‘We Were Just Lucky’

Williams’ bombardier, Lieut. Walter Lucien of Hudson, N. H.,, who already has sunk 10 Japanese warships, said: “We were just lucky to get out. We owe it all to Williams. He did things I didn’t know could be done with a B-17. He maneuvered the plane like a ‘pursuit ship.” Lucien, with 30 bombing missions to his credit, said the five minutes over the target seemed like “five hours.” 5 Williams, who was sewing buttons on his shirt, was unruffled by this praise. He was chiefly coneerned that his wife, Lois, might find out about his button-sewing. “She’ll come right back at me,” he said. : CARD PARTY ARRANGED "A card party is being sponsored by the Old-Age Pension Program Club 3 tonight in the McKinley club house, 2217 E.

Glamorous?

Mrs. Edwin R. Monroe

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 (U. P). —Whether Mrs. Edwin R. Monroe is glamorous or not was no longer an issue, but the judge was left to decide whether her husband’s collar bore traces of lipstick or his stepdaughter’s red crayon. > Superior Judge John Beardsley - began pondering the question shortly after Monroe, an aircraft executive, denied his shapely wife’s charge that the red stuff on his collar was lipstick—and not: wifely lipstick, either. “It was red crayon,” he said. “Her daughter smeared it all over

the house and all over me.” Monroe had filed a cross-com-plaint for divorce, contending that his wife was “unglamorous.” But the complaint was withdrawn when it developed that Monroe had been living at Kansas City and could not meet state resident requirements. Mrs. Monroe, a petite brunette, had filed suit for separate maintenance, and said her husband wanted a divorce because she beat him at golf.

IF CAR IS STORED YIELD GAS COUPONS

NEW YORK, Feb. 26 (U, P.). — Automobile. owners who have not purchased 1943 license plates or who have their cars in “dead storage”

were ordered by the regional office of price administration today to surrender their gasoline ration books to local war price and rationing boards. The order, which affects New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and the Districk of Columbia, was designed to conserve “millions of gallons of gasoline,” an OPA announcement said. It added that “thousands of automobiles appear to have been placed in dead storage in recent months.” . OPA regulations prohibit a car owner from giving his gas coupons to another owner, the announcement said, and specify that those who have sold cars must turn their books back to the local boards within five days. Sellers also must sur-

render tire inspection records to the

purchasers.

IN PROPAGANDA

U.S. Got a Late Start hut OWI Agencies Make Up For Lost Time.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer ‘WASHINGTON, Feb, 25.— The

U. S. A, a tyro in the business of foreign propaganda and psychological warfare on which Hitler lavished millions to soften up the world

{

began to roll, is matching the Nazis at their own game. To beat down . Goebbels’ lies, America is using truth—in.30 or 40 languages and dialects, through an

international short-wave-radio network, through a score of foreign outposts supplying material to press and radio, through lavishly, illustrated magazines and simply printed pamphlets. : The office of war information, headed by Elmer Davis, is doing this job. It ‘is spending $37,000,000 this year. Its operations are decidedly on the flossy side in numerous ways, and OWI officials concede frequent mistakes. :

Axis Flaunts Claims

With this money, the U. S. tries fo tell enemy nations—whose only other source of news is what is strained through a dictator’s censorship to them—what is actually happening in the war. It tells neutral nations of the military might of America and the inevitablity of allied victory, It tells its own allies more about the country that is fighting by their side. Walk down the street in Istanbul or Madrid or Lisbon and you see newsstands full of German magazines and newspapers, propagandaangeled by Goebbels, telling a glowing story of German greatness and ability to vanquish the united nations. Japan, using color printing and smart display, is circulating the story of her might through conquered Pacific areas. Until comparatively recently there was no answer from America, though Great Britain and other allied nations propagandized widely.

Radio Widely Used

Short-wave radio has been used widely by this country, and standard radio is being used now from Africa and England to get America’s story into conquered countries. There are few people in foreign lands with short-wave receiving sets, and sometimes the chief value of the medium is in planting a story which can be passed on by word of mouth. But increasingly the telling of America’s story abroad will be centered in OWI bureaus overseas, often generously staffed and elaborately equipped with radio and telephoto equipment, serviced by cable news daily from New York and funneling news pictures, “spot” news and interpretive articles into the press and radio of many nations.

persons doing this job. In Istanbul it has about 50, including a tranlating and clerical staff; Cairo has 34, Chunkging about 20, and New Delhi and sub-branches in India about 30. Neutral Stockholm has an OWI staff of 40, and Madrid about a dozen.

Expect Gandhi

To Survive Fast

POONA, India, Feb. 25 (U. P.). —Mohandas K. Gandhi was holding his own and was in good spirits today, and the general belief grew that he would survive his 21-day fast scheduled to end next Wednesday at 8 a. m. “Gandhi made no further progress,” a bulletin signed by six attending doctors said. “There is no appreciable change in his condition.” Twenty persons visited Gandhi at the Aga Khan's palace yesterday.

LONDON, Feb. 25 25 ©. P.) —Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden today rejected demands in the house of commons for an immediate debate on Mohandas K. Gandhi’s fast in India on the grounds that “no useful purpose would be served.”

BATON 'ROUG , La., Feb. 25 (U. P.)—A feminine controversy raged today over the dean of women’s edict that only coeds with shapely figures may wear. slacks at Louisiana state university. Three thousand coeds started a: movement two weeks ago for permission to wear slacks. Nora Neill Power, the dean of women, summoned them to a “personality fa ” and told them they could not wear slacks that failed to pass the inspection of the dormitory house committee, Slacks, to be sanctioned by the ‘house committee, must be “wellcut, of suitable material and seen. -about the campus on well-propor-tioned coeds,” she said. Coeds ‘who considered their figures a little too. ample to meet Miss Power’s approval were aggrieved.
