: Night Recess O The night-long recess was made necessary because two important— ‘but extremely lengthy—bills were still awaiting completion by the enrolling room. These were the ‘biennial appropriations bill and the measure liberalizing the unemployment compensation law. The latter was 96 pages long. This was the session which Republican leaders said probably would be concluded several days “early.

ing the 30 or more house pills awaiting final passage objected vigorously and demanded that action be taken on their measures. So Senator Biddinger called the senate back'at 9 p. m. and passed a dozen bills before the entertainment, furnished by WIRE, started at 10 o'clock. After the entertainment, the senators in a “love feast.” Gifts were presented to Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson, Senator Biddinger, Senator Walter Vermillion, Democratic floor leader; Senator O. Bruce Lane, Republican caucus chairman, and Senator John Gonas, inoHsy caucus chairman.
Sanitation Bill Dies
The senate clock was stopped at 11:35 and Lieut. Gov. Dawson sent the members home for the night. One of the bills which died on third reading was the measure to separate the Indianapolis works board from the sanitation board, sponsored by the city hall and taxpayer groups. Meanwhile, the house judiciary A committee caused an uproar in the lower chamber when it suddenly reported for passage a hitherto dormant bill in amended form to raise the exemption on gross income tax from $1000 to $1200. Objections were raised from both sides of the louse and, after a long debate, the members refused to accept the committee’s report. One of the most drastic actions of the score of conference committees was the emasculating of the senate proposal to make mandatory jail sentences for drunken drivers. The conference committee reported only “slight” changes in the present law providing for suspension of drivers’ licenses and the report was adopted amid grumblings from the “dry” senators.
OFFERS PROVERBS ON 4TH TERM TALK
WASHINGTON, March 9 (U. PJ). —Mrs. Roosevelt's assertion that

Ore.). “What should we do,” he asked, “wait to lock the door after the horse is stolen?” He offered these -other proverbs which he believes fit the occasion: “Forewarned is forearmed,” “An ounce of prevention is worth a

Claims Russ People Advised
“The Russian press has told the people of Russia something about the lend-lease aid supplied to Russia by the United Kingdom and the United States,” Bloom said. “Thus, for example, the New York Times, on Jan. 24, 1943, reported that Pravda, one of the leading newspapers of the Soviet Union, contained a news item about planes,

He said he understood that of the senate foreign relations com-|gjan territory.

Fears Damaging Criticism

Stalin Fully Informed
There is speculation here, also, whether Mr. Roosevelt and Prime Minister - Winston Churchill ever got a satisfactory acknowledgement from Stalin after the Casablanca conference. They announced that
the response from Moscow may have been, it evidently was nof con-
There have been. persistent and somewhat ‘persuasive reports on capitol hill that both “Mr. Roosevelt and Churchill went to North Africa expecting Stalin to be there, too. The Russian premier has not hesitated to go his own way nor to speak his mind. During Wendell L. Willkie’s visit in Moscow, Stalin at a great public
dinner denounced the British gov-| ernment ‘for “stealing” 183 fighter || planes en route from the United States to the Soviet Union. It de-||
veloped that the planes were di-|| verted from Russia to North Africa || by order of Lieut. Gen. Henry H.|| S.
Arnold, commander of the U. air forces. But Stalin thought the British stole them and said so in the pres- | ence of the British ambassador. Willkie . averted a more serious diploinatic incident by immediately going into a speech which enabled the British ambassador to pass the offense ‘without ‘ saying anything.
On Feb, . 4, Mr. Roosevelt sent Stalin- congratulations on ouster of the German army from Stalingrad. No text of Stalin’s reply ever was made public here. But from Lon-
don came a Reuter’s dispatch picked |]
up from Moscow radio: quoting Stalin as having expressed the conviction that “the joint military operations of the armed forces of the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union, in the near future
bring about victory over our i
on enemy.”
On Feb. 23—the day Stalin's order said the Red army was bearing the war's whole weight—Mr. Roosevelt ‘sent a glowing tribute to the Russian will to win.
The Feb. 23 press conference inquiry to Mr, Roosevelt about pos-
sible Russian stoppage of her|
armies at her own borders may have been predicated in part on an interview given on Feb. 19 by Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont). Senator Wheeler, an adverse critic of the administration, suggested that there might be something phony about Germany’s retreat on the Russian front and added: | “There is persistent fear in some high quarters that Germany and Russia will conclude a separate!
peace, but Stalin has repeatediy|]
stated: that he only wanted the return of Russian territory; that his armies will fight until they have driven the last German from Russian soil. In other words, Stalin has been and is Russia first.”
