WINS APPEAL FOR POOLROOM LIGENSE
Permission to reopen what vg termed the “last Rumanian-owned poolroom in the city” was granted John Napariu yesterday by Mayor Tyndall. Mr. Napariu had appealed to the mayor after the safety board, on grounds that he had permitted gambling in the place, had refused to renew the license of the establishment at 559 W. Washington st., where Mr. Napariu said Rumanians here had gathered for nearly a decade to play pool. Mayor Tyndall granted renewal of the license on condition that Mr. Napariu would never again sell pool tickets. In hearing the appeal the mayor said, “We don’t want to work a fardship on anyone trying to operate a business within the law. We are not going to tolerate any game bling in the city, but if you can make a living without selling pool tickets or allowing other games of chance to be played in your place, I'll give you another opportunity.”

Susan Has New Swim Suit;
It Slips Off Under Dress
By MARTIN KANE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—Susan Hayward, a girl from Brooklyn who knows what it is to ride home from Coney island in a wet bathing suit, came out today with a bathing suit which can be slipped off in secret underneath the dress, slacks or what have you, with no one the wiser, “It does away with that wet spot when you sit down,” she said, poised on the edge of a swimming pool while willing witnesses waited for her to show how easily the bathing’suit came off. Miss Hayward, who went from Brooklyn to Hollywood after a brief career as a dress designer, was wearing the suit. It consisted largely of a series of gaps held together by shoe lacing. The lacing ran up and down each side of the trunks, but no matter how she pulled and tugged she couldn’t quite bring it together. Wrong size. Well, it was decided to go on with the show anyway. The principle remained the same.

gave her the idea, which had been smoldering ever since she first* rode home from the beach in a wet bathing suit. “No matter how well you dry in the sun,” she explained, “there’s always that wet spot in the trolley car. With this design all you do is untie the strings on each side and, zoomp, it falls off.” Upon request, Miss Hayward put on a skirt and proceeded to - show how, it worked. She slipped her hands inside the skirt, squirmed a little, tugged here and there, and nothing happened. “Trouble,” she explained. She squirmed some more, harder this time. ; “She’ll never make it,” a photographer said. “It can’t be done.” But the photographer, a man who would have laughed at Fulton’s steamboat, was wrong. Miss Hayward’s red hair and fanatic zeal began to tell. An edge of the bathing trunks first peeped above the skirt. She gripped them firmly and gave a quick pull. Out the trunks came, leaving her still clothed in a skirt. “There you are,” she said, waving the trunks triumphantly. » » IN ADDITION to the trunks, the bathing suit consisted of a bandeau and a bandanna. The bandanna was to keep the hair from getting sunburned, she explained. Miss Hayward had tied the shoe lacings in what appeared to be a bow knot. A suggestion that mischievous hands could easily untie the bow with a quick tug and leave her in an embarrassing predicament brought from Miss Hayward an instant challenge. “I dare you to try it,” she said. The bow knot came undone

front after only six weeks of training. Their training, he said, includes lectures in Nazi party philosophy, Since many of the reservists formerly sent to the front were found to have been “bad Nazis.” Mueller also reported that four high Nazi officials have taken over political power on the home front while Adolf Hitler devotes all his time to military problems. :
ACCUSE HOOSIER OF
VINCENNES, Ind, Feb. 26 (U. P.) —Walter Moore, 42, Lawrence county, was held today on charges of armed robbery pending an in-
may result in filing of federal kidnaping charges. : Moore was alleged to have forced his stepfather, Fred Skaggs, Lawrénceville policeman, to accompany him on a “wild, midnight” ride during which Skaggs allegedly was robbed of $11. The ride ended when Skaggs obtained the handle of an
son into insensibility, Sheriff Fred Stalcup said. \ Officials said Skaggs was forced, under threat of death, to cross the Illinois-Indiana state line, thus involving a charge of kidnaping.
| SENATE REVIVES
FEET HURT? |
TRUCK TAX BILL
Proposed Fees Slashed After Floor Dispute by GOP Leaders.
The state senate revived its dormant truck tax bill amidst dissension among Republican party leadThe truck tax bill, as originally introduced, was designed to raise $1,200,000 a year in additional state] revenue but Republican leadership has held the bill in committee for several weeks on the theory that no new faxes were necessary in view of the present state financial surplus. When Senator Albert Ferris (R. Milton), chairman of the powerful |' senate finance committee, called down the bill on second reading the Republican floor leader, Senator Thurman Biddinger of Marion, introduced amendments to cut the increase to $600,000, principally by reducing the fees on larger trucks and trailers.
May Not Be Necessary
“If the bill already passed by the senate goes to the house in its present form and eliminates the annual $1,250,000 diversion of highway revenues to the general fund, then we would be foolish to pass. this bill at all,” Senator Biddinger said. He declared that the truckers have built up one of the finest industries in the state because the state has been “friendly” to them. Senator Ferris, however, said he believed that if the truck tax was not put into effect the cities and counties would be in danger of having some of their revenues from the highway fund cut 10 per cent as provided in the highway diversion
bill. Gates Seen on Floor
The importance of the issue as an intro-party squabble was emphasized by the fect that State G. O. P. Chairman Ralph Gates was on the senate floor during the debate. The original bill would provide a $15 fee for trucks from one-half to one-ton capacity, while the Biddinger amendment would reduce that to $12. The largest truck provided for—seven and a half tons and over —would have required a $250 fee, but the Biddinger amendment cut it to $150. Other trucks weighing between one ton and seven and onehalf tons were cut almost proportionately, as were the fees on semitrailers and trailers. . The Biddinger amendments were adopted on a voice vote and the bill was advanced to third reading.
