A NEW SIGN at Tommy's cafe at Kentucky ave. . and Maryland st. reads: Porter Wanted to Wash Dishes and Two Waitresses. , . , There has been quite a bit of confusion around town about tomorrow being a holiday. After Governor Gates proclaimed Discovery day a legal holiday. in Indiana last week, a lot of the state office employees planned a on vacation, But yesterday the vacations were called off. It seemed that Oct”12 would be a legal holiday here but nearly all public offices would be open. Then today the situation changed again. Another notice ‘was sent to state, county and city employees that Oct. 12 definitely would be a holiday and they wouldn't have to work. , . . Following the last session of the legislature and for the duration Indiana only has six legal holidays on the calendar unless special holidays are proclaimed by the governor. The six are New Year's day, Memorial day, Fourth of July, Labor day, Thanksgiving and” Christmas. . . . Joanne Williams, 2351 Ralston ave., has a glant yam that even tops that of Emil Skowronek. It's 12 inches long, 16% inches in ‘circumference and weighs four and a half pounds. She started the sprouts from which the potato grew in a" fruit jar filled with water. Later she planted them and now has quite a few good-sized yams.

AITAPE New Guinea, Oct. 11.—A year ago last April the Americans were fumbling over the pronunciation of another of those weird Pacific names —Aitape. . 3 Some called it “At'-Api,” and others said, “I-top” ~but how they pronounced it was not the important thing. Aitape had moved. into the headlines because it was the site of one of our newest landings. The 32d division on April 22, 1044, surprised the Japs and went ashore on Aitape's flat sand beach at the same time other uhits of the 6th army were Janding 130 miles up the coast at Hollandia. The initial assault was almost bloodless. Bombings by American and Australian planes, plus naval bombardment, forced the enemy to move three miles inland from the beach and taXe up positions in the hills. : In the weeks that followed, Aitape's picture-book plantations and beaches bristled with guns and soldiers. Dusty footpaths became wide highways, Planes roared off Tadji strip in an almost unbroken line. And the bewildered natives discovered to their delight that by wiggling their thumbs they sometimes could get a ride in one of the noisy little jeeps that snorted over the countryside.
Yanks Are Gone
BUT THAT was long ago, as wars go. There are no American troops in Aitape today. The eight-mile Aitape beach front is as quiet now as a church at midnight, The thatched huts which housed military offices ‘are sagging and weather-worn. They seem as much a part of the ageless landscape as the coconut trees which: tower above them. : The buildings where the 30th evacuation hospital was operated stand empty and shadowy in a coconut
Aviation
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Wartime's most optimistic predictions on post-war aviation already have been knocked into a “cocked hat.”
Airlines are making every attempt to handle about five times the pre-war traffic, including passenger and: cargo. And the industry is ® speetling up beyond all expectations to supply much-needed new. model airliners and cargo ships. Planes not only are being filled to capacity, with 85 per cent of the wartime priorities off, but it is proving almost impossible for the average citizens to obtain a seat unless he gets his reservation far ahead. Production is being rushed to a point undreamed of before the war, as the race between airplane manufacturers speeds up to meet the airlines’ demand for mote and more equipmefit,
No ‘All-Purpose’ Planes
ABOUT every possible type of airplane is going to be needed as there will be no “all-purpose” peace= time planes, just as there were no “all purpose” wartime planes. Nearly all large plane manufacturers are developing several types to meet the demand for both large, speedy transcontinental and global transports and the short hauls between cities throughout the nation, y . They include Boeing's huge Strato-cruiser (the . peacetime B-20) and -Lockheed’s Constellation, both "with a 300-plus miles-per-hour cruising speed; Consolidated Vultee's tremendous B-36, details of which are not available; Northrop’s huge flying wing and several other in the big transport field,

Apparently, all clashes classic lines: ' 1. Russian suspicions of the British and suspicions of British desire to form a bloc of western European nations.

Allied Clashes Increasing On German Control Policy
The American position in these controversies seems to be that of the middle man. This may partly be due to confusion over just what the American policy toward Germany is or is going to be. A new and interesting light was shed on the American attitude by a report to the allied control council by a group of American experts; headed by Dr. Calvin Hoover, professor of economics at Duke university. This report deals with what level of industry is needed to maintain the minimum German standard of living. The group concluded that it would be impossible to maintain a minimum German economy -— which would pay for itself and provide for the costs of occupation as well-if Germany were to be subjected to an “extreme degree” of industrial disarmament. (That is, the dismantling of heavy industry beyond such out-and-out war plants as munitions and aviation factories, and so forth.) This looks like quibbling on a major scale with the Potsdam agreement for the “complete dis armament and demilitarization of Germany, and elimination or cobntrol of all German industry that
