PAPER IS going for many new civilian uses. It is replacing metal containers for foods and cosmetics. Paper containers are used for shipping ammunition, blood plasma, field rations and other military supplies. Many of these containers must be made of heavy paperboard, strong enough to stand exposure on

In some cases the containers have to be strong and waterproof enough to be floated ashore In the tropics, where there are no dock facilities. It takes from four to eight layers of paper to meet these specifications, and that uses a lot of material.

By DR. THOMAS D.

Digestive Action When the food enters and fills

That emotional disturbances induce digestive malfunction is an ancient observation, An impaired appetite and even nausea and vomiting in association with anxiety states are common experiences. When abnormal emotion states, particularly those involving conflict persist, the stomach are those that are capable of eventuating in actual organic change, Eating three or more meals a day, regularly, and making them about equal in caloric content, ag well as surrounding them with calm, will go a long way toward eliminating “nervous Stomach, ”

PATRON BEEYED

|county Republican Group|

May Find Problem Tossed Its Way.

Asked today whether there was ‘any possibility of city patronage reverting back to the Marion county Republican committee, Mayor Tyndall replied, “I don’t know. That's up to them.” He referred to the regular G. O. P. organization which was renounced by the city hall faction in January. Patronage . privileges were then

. | taken from the hands of County

Chairman Henry Ostrom. The subject of municipal hiring and firing was prompted by reports that the city hall patronage come mittee would dissolve at a luncheon meeting today. Break-Up Inevitable

Committee members said - break-

"|up of the group appeared certain

as a result of Mayor Tyndall’s ironhanded policy of retaining some employees over patronage committee protests. The disbandonment move touched off a series of conjectures, most of them revolving around the possibility of a compromise between the mayor and the G. O. P. organization forces. It was rumored that should the city patronage job become too

ent to return the task to the county committee. .

PRE-INDUCTION HELP PLANNED

Educators Study Ways to Provide More Skilled

Men for Army.

An industrail personnel division has been developed for the army to increase the ‘general fitness of prospective inductees and contribute to the betterment of men called into the ranks. A group of eight educators from each of the four states in in the fifth servite command are conducting a tour of the induction centers at Ft. Harrison and Ft. Knox in Kentucky. They are studying the process of transferring civilians into soldiers. The educators plan to help reduce a critical shortage in specialized occupations and skills needed by the army. An analysis reveals that certain defects which have excluded potential inductees from military service are remedial, and that physical and health education can contribute to the general fitness, personal habits and hygiene of the potential inductee. Pre-induction training is developed entirely on a voluntary basis. High schools, colleges, service clubs, fraternal organizations, veterans’ groups, libraries, religious and social organizations are being asked to assist in certain aspects of the program.

from giving publicity to the affair. This is typical of much of what is going on in Rushville these days. Mr. Willkie quietly is doing a “front porch” job of explaining his position to Indiana Republican leaders, trying to make it clear to them that his views on post-war problems do not coincide with Vice President Wallace's and that - America comes first in. all his

thinking. ‘While he himself has never been adverse to publicity, many of the Republican leaders who go to see him, particularly those from northern - Indiana, are. These Republicans come from a part of the state dominated to a large extent by Willkie-hating Republican newspapers and if it was found out at home that “these Republicans had been down to see Mr. Willkie they would virtually be “burned at the stake” by their hometown press. PI a

Strongest Support

IT IS interesting to note in connection with Mr, Willkie’s drive to get his home state lined up behind him, that his strongest support comes from the state’s two biggest cities, Indianapolis and Evansville. Joseph J.. Daniels, 11th district G. O. P. chairman, has been “allout” for Willkie for. months and the Evansville Republican is for him. Such Evansville Republicans as Ben Bartlett, City Controlier A. V. Burch and Industrial Board Member Raymond J. Hitch made it clear at yesterday's G. O. P. meeting that they are for him. Ivan Morgan, ninth district G. O. P. chairman, who has been to see Willkie twice during his present stay at Rushville, is typical of the large group of regular organization leaders who have adopted a “wait and see” policy. Mr. Morgan said hé believed that when Willkie formally states his position, probably sometime around the first of the year, that the state will line up behind him, “But,” Mr. Morgan said, “willkie will have to get on the Republican platform and not expect the Republicans to get on his platform.”

Anti- Willkie Leader

WHEELER MCcMILLEN, editor of the Pew-owned National Farm Journal, who has been mentioned as a presidential prospect, attended the meeting as a guest of Hobart Creighton, speaker of the ’43 house. Willkie supporters said that his presence at the speaker’s table “didn’t mean anything” but others thought he might be the man the anti-Willkieites here would get behind in order to keep the 40 nominee from getting the united support of his home state.

OPA- RELINQUISHES GRADE LABELLING

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 (U. PJ). —The office of price administration announced today that it has repealed its grade labelling requirement on a score of items, from meats, butter, eggs and cheese to anti-freeze and rubber heels in conformity with a congressional mandate. -In the rubber heel industry, the OPA said, the majority proposes to go on using the OPA grading marks voluntarily. Congress ordered an end to grade labelling in general because it felt it would lead to eventual elimination of brand names and government control of industry. The labelling requirements originally were written into maximum price regulations “to protect the buyer where ceilings depend on the quality grade of an article,” the OPA said.

‘Some Random Notes .

Notes on Yesterday's Meeting: One observation on the tightrope walking now being done by G. O. P. State Chairman Ralph Gates, a candidate for governor, on the Willkie situation was this: When the time comes, Mr. Gates will be found on the Willkie bandwagon because he can’t afford to antagonize the thousands of Willkie supporters in the state. . . . Mrs. Fern Norris, 11th district G. O. P. vice chairwoman who long has been active in women’s activities here, is seriously considering seeking the congressional nomination in next yedr’s primary. Mrs. Norris is now employed in the county commissioner’s office. . . . Two probable candidates for the state treasurership nomination, Mr. Burch of Evansville and Ruel Steele, Lawrence county -clerk, both attended the meeting and both declined to say whether they were candidates. But they were present. . , , James Watson, former U, S. senator, in his short talk predicted a settlement of the local G. O. P. factional fight. He said he was glad the battle was on in ’43 because by next year “it will be washed

pen that way many times. . . . Members of the Republican congressional delegation all stressed the necessity of a G. O. P. vicetory next year in order to save “our .form of government.” In 1940, they were all saying that unless they won there would be no more elections.

OPERATION OF PARKS SCORED

City Council Displeased With “Out of Line’ Items

In Budget.

Operation of the city park system and construction of the park board budget were severely eriticized last night by city councilmen. ; Showing: their displeasure at what they termed “out .of line” items, councilmen snipped $11,000 off the estimated 1944 park department costs. When Park Board President Paul Rathert presented a 1944 ‘expense account requesting wage boosts in some divisions, Councilman Carson Jordan, Democrat, lashed out at the entire recrea setup. “But,” intérjected Mr. Rathert, “where are’ you going to find park employees at $15 and $18 a week?”

Neglect Some Parks

“I don’t know,” replied Mr. Jordan, “but I do know that you're diverting your attention to a few playgrounds while others go to seed. Look at Brookside. The grass hasn’t been cut there this summer and there aren't enough benches.” Additional friction arose when it was learned that some items on Mr. Rathert’s original estimates chart failed to tally with identical items on the official budget. “This is the damndest budget I ever saw,” blurted Councilman Ed Kealing. “Most of these depart ment heads, have little knowledge of what the mayor and his so-called budget assistants did to their original estimates.” “I move we scrap this thing and adopt last year’s “budget,” agreed Councilman Willie B. Sullivan, irately tossing his copy into the center of the table. Councilmen also refused to approve a $66,000 flood control board budget and $6000 of the track elevation budget, when departmental
