The peoples of the united nations, cept the Chinese, still have no ear conception of what they are against in Asia, most of these seaders believe, and they see an nt need that the whole Far rn situation be brought into

ritons, particularly, may gird emselves for the struggle ahead. . ‘The following composite opinions, tained by this correspondent m military, political and diploPele figures on all the Asiatic nts and from conversations with Bcores of petsons who have long ex- * perience in the Far East, will give § general idea of -the immediate futlook: .

The problem of establishing a stable peace once Japan has n defeated will be one to tax aled statesmanship to the utmost. ere is no aspect of this problem, owever, so far as allied leaders in a can now foresee, that is inluble.

The present Japanese drive into India is spectacular, but of ly limited importance.

SLAYER LOSES “COURT APPEAL
White's Conviction Upheld By State Supreme Bench.
Holding that there were no errors in the criminal court trial, the state supreme court today upheld the conviction of Bernard L. White for first degree murder in the slaying of his wife, Mary. White was sentenced fo serve life in prison following a jury trial in the Marion criminal court. Evi-
dénce offered at the trial was that he had killed his wife at their home at 605 N. Grant st. on Oct. 2, 1942, in an argument over another man. In another opinion the supreme
jcourt upheld the Marion superior
court in refusing to grant back salary to Cecil F. Scott, Indianapolis fireman, for the time he was under suspension in 1940. Scott, then a captain, was indicted for embezzling funds from the Firemen's Credit fund. He was suspended from the department pending trial. After acquittal in March, 1943, he was reinstated, but reduced in rank from captain to first grade private. He sought to recover the salary

Have Some Advantages
“In some respects, these men have advantages over the physically sound,” he said. “Absenteeism is less among them and they are found to be on the whole efficient workers and not so liable to accidents as those robust physical specimens, who by their very vitality, take risks which others would avoid.” Dr. Heiser is the author of An American Doctor's Odyssey and recently completed a new book, “Toughen Up, America.” It is his opinion that sickness, |eve and teeth defects could be | Stamped out among Americans if they would learn to eat properly. Protective foods which should be in everybody's diet every day are milk, eggs or meat, leafy vegetables, whole wheat or enriched bread and citrus fruit, he said.
Diets Insufficient
Fewer than one-third of industrial workers have adequate diets, he stated. A survey in one airplane factory showed a 48 per cent deficiency of vitamin A among the workers; 21 per cent deficiency of vitamin B-1, and 42 per cent of vitamin C. Dr. Heiser has made 18 trips around the world and is familiar with he diseases prevalent in every area where American hy men are now He warned that the medical profession ‘will be confronted with a huge task in combatting tropical diseases which servicemen will bring back and carry to other people. He spent 20 years with the Rockefeller Foundation as regional medical director for the eastern hemisphere and 12 years in charge of medical care in the Philippines.

Headline speaker of the board meeting was Dr. Theodore Myer Greene of the Princeton university faculty, who warned against ex!pecting a “bright new world after the war.” Dr. Greene challenged the church college to do what it can to save students from the cynicism which would follow an era of too rosy optimism. “Inspire the students to be loyal to causes which are worthy of their loyalty,” he urged.
WOMEN VOTERS GIVEN ‘SPUR BY FIRST LADY
[ NEW YORK, April 19 (U.

She called on women voters “to get out of their lethargy” and start working toward a better world by accepting their share of responsibility in the coming presidential election. “Remember history,” Mrs. Roosevelt advised, “and realize that plans are no better than the people who carry them out.” She urged feminine voters to go to the polls armed with knowledge and discretion “so that we will not fail servicemen overseas hoping to come back to a country much bet-

"Us Kids' Protest Movie Price Lift
ST. LOUIS, April 19 (U. P).—A. letter signed by “Us Kids” received by Mayor A. P. Kauffman today protested the inflation in movie prices. “Dear mayor,” the letter read, “we are children of 12 and over who have to pay 30 and 40 cents to go to the neighborhood shows once a week. When you get 50 cents a week or less it doesn't go far when you have to pay 40 cents to go to a show. “Since the prices have gone up twice as much as before we think the age limit of 12 should be raised to 14 or 15 years of age before paying ‘adults’ ‘fare’.” The mayor said he usually ig-

LIEBER'S LOVE
Many Officials Hear Tribute To Conservationist at Services.
Tributes to the philosophy of life, patriotism and love of nature
development of Indiana's state park system were paid at funeral services for Mr, Lieber yesterday at Flanner & Buchanan mortuary. His ashes will be buried in Turkey Run state park in accordance with his wishes. Mr. Lieber died Saturday at the inn at McCormick's Creek park. He was 74.
and nationally-known conservationists gathered for yesterday's services. The Rev. E. Burdette Backus, pastor of All Souls Unitarian church, described Mr. Lieber as a man who walked with calm confidence through life. His love for nature did not preclude an appreciation for the humanities, but his awareness of the faults of all made him more tolerant, Rev. Backus said. } Stephen C. Noland, editdr of .The Indianapolis News, said in a memorial address that Mr. Lieber, a native of Germany, had a love for America. that would be impossible for a native-born person.
COUNTY GOUNGIL'S ACTION HELD VOID
The controversial action of the county council in turning the entire Marion county common school fund over to the state on March 27 was held null and void today by Attorney General James Emmert because the council was not legally in session at the time the action was taken. The opinion was given in answer to a question submitted by Otto K. Jensen, state examiner. Mr. Jensen said that the records showed that the council met on Friday, March 24, and adjourned to meet again the following day. On Saturday only two members of the seven-member council showed up and they agreed to adjourn until Monday. The attorney general held that a quorum must be present before any motion can be legally made and that, therefore, since no quorum was present on Saturday, the motion to adjourn until Monday was a nullity. Meetings of the county council must be advertised in advance.
