GESTURE FAILS
Sufficient Support for Modified Setup.
An attempt by Republican legislative leaders to placate Hoosier farmers after killing the milk _control bill failed in the late hours of the session yesterday without even getting well under way. Rep. George Henley (R. Bloomington), house majority floor leader, started a movement yesterday to revive the defunct subject of milk control and put through a modified setup to take the political sting out of the earlier action by which the measure was. killed. Rep. Henley’s new bill would have set up a milk control board to act as a liaison between the state government and the OPA. Before the machinery to get the subject started again could be set in motion, however, enough oppositiort developed to convince house leaders that the proposed new measure could not be passed. The setup of the “appeasement” milk control board was to have been similar to the present board expires by limitation next June 30, but no price-fixing powers would have been included in the

NEW CONTRACT JURY DELAYED
Impossible to Have List Drawn Before March 20, .
Bain Reveals.
A new grand jury to reinvestigate county contracts will not be selected until March 20 due.to congestion in criminal court and the jury selection machinery, Judge W. D. Bain
' The judge ordered jury commissioners to draw 25 names from the jury box at 10 a. m. Friday and have the prospective jurors suhpenaed to appear for selection on March 268.
Selection of a new jury was made necessary. by disclosure last week that the foreman of the original jury drawn in January had received a county contract himself after jury deliberations had begun. The jury foreman, Charles Helfenberger, was awarded the contract Feb. 15 to repair the county jail residence. As a result of the disclosure, Judge Bain discharged the jury last Tuesday.
Judge Bain said the selection of a new jury was delayed because of prior orders from other courts for jury panels totalling nearly 400 names.
Names Are Exhausted
“This depleted ‘the number of names remaining in the jury’s drawing box and more time had to be given jury commissioners to replenish the stock of names fram the county assessor's tax books,” Judge Bain said.’ Ae ARG “The law charges me with the re: sponsibility of proceeding cautiously in the selection of a grand jury, and we cannot be sure of getting sufficient and proper names in the box without first making preparations. Also the sheriff's office must have time to serve all those subpenaed before we can call them in for selection.” The new grand jury could not be selected early next week, Judge Bain explained, because the prosecutor’s
office will be busy with a murder
case and selection could not be made during that trial.
Must Recall Witnesses
The new jury will have to recall 20 or more witnesses heard by the other jury in connection with the widespread investigation of contracts let by county commissioners for supplies at Sunnyside Sana-
tions. The Try also will have to recall other witnesses heard by the old grand jury in its probe of expenditures and the long delay in the construction of Julietta infirmary|®
uildings. Prosecutor Sherwood Blue said he also will ask the new jury to investigate circumstances surrounding the awarding of the jail residence

Jury.

Gary Burglars Use OPA Badge
GQHICAGO, March 9 (U. P)— Regional OPA Administrator Raymond S. McKeough, citing a $20,;000 robbery at Gary, Ind, cautioned householders today against admitting persons presenting themselves as OPA inspectors. Mr. McKough said the OPA “is not snooping into pantries and kitchens,” and that when such action is contemplated a search warrant will be obtained. Three men wearing OPA inspectors’ badges gained admittance to the residence of Mrs. Rése Amidei at Gary and made a pretense of listing canned goods stocks. They then pulled out guns, rifled a safe in the cellar and fled with $20, leaving the women ‘bound with towels.

Super Radio Set to Include Television Forecast by Fly
mechgnism. Frequency modulation sets, which provide interferencefree reception, television receivers and facsimile machines already are in use, but only in a limited number. The development of each was cut short by the transition of industry from civilian to war production. Those who did have such sets also had to have another for receiving standard broadcast reception, except for a few types which combined both a frequency modulation and a standard receiver in the same cabinet. Separate sets for each of these purposes——sound, picture and facsimile—“will be washed out in the course of years” and a very efficient single form based on the best developments is “around the corner,” Fly said. Fly said he was “inclined” to think that television broadcasting would be on the chain system with the waves carried throughout the country by a series of relay stations. Direct reception from the original television stations is limited to certain distances because of certain natural barriers and only in recent years has a relay system been perfected. He _said chain broadcasting of television programs would be necessary because of the costs of programming which would be involved.

In tke first place, the Republicans didn’t give the Democrats much to shoot at in the way of partisan legislation and the Democrats didn’: spout off just to be spouting. The governor himself helped in keeping things from reaching the boiling point between the parties by sparing use of the veto. : He forced the Republican leaders tn muster their forces to override vetoes only twice ‘during the session. Those bills he didn’t agree with in principle but in which he found no illegality he accepted as the mandate of the legislative body and permitted to become law without his signature.
