+ citation, printed on a plece of parchment paper about

eight feet long and two feet wide, is written In Chinese. Col. Woods, a member of the transportation

! corps, spent 28 months in.China and India. He has

been home on leave and the citation was forwarded to him from his China headquarters. Col. and Mrs. Woods took the scroll to P. H, Ho, the photographer, ' but Mr. Ho was unable to give a perfect translation of it. 80 he made a copy of the thing and sent it on to a Chinese friend now doing post-graduate workat Stanford university in California, Mr. Ho says his friend is an expert at translation and that he eventually plans to return to his homeland of China. Col. and Mrs. Woods left Indianapolis Friddy for New Orleans where the colonel will await reassignment.

Miss MARY HELEN CAIN didn't pay too much stténtion to the stars in “Oklahoma” the other night . at English’s. The reason: Miss Nancy Morrison, a local girl and a good friend of Miss Cain's had & minor part in the chorus. The two were graduated from St. Agnes academy in 1941 and then Miss Morrison studied at Jordan conservatory. She later went to New York where she studied voice and worked for Time magazine. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs, John H. Morrison, 4306 Broadway, Miss Morrison received her part in “Oklahoma” last September. She previously had a minor role in “One Touch of Venus” and was an understudy for Mary Martin. While in Indianapolis she stayed with her folks and also spent one entire morning in the dentist's office. She's now with the show in St. Louis and from there will go on to Kansas City and later to the West coast. She is just 21 so she has plenty of time to climb to the top. . Mrs, Agnes Ostrom made a good substitute fireman Thursday in the courthouse. A short in some old wiring above her desk caused the cord to burst into flames, Mrs. Ostrom and Miss Mary Catherine Stair were the only ones left in the juvenile eourt office. They both let out a couple of screams. Then Mrs. Ostrom grabbed a towel,’ climbed up on her desk and slapped out the fire. . , , Already the robins have invaded Indianapolis and we've had several reports of the first robins of the spring season... But Mrs. E. T. Lawrence, 5014 Broadway, not only reported that she saw. a robin in her yard but she also saw ‘a redheaded woodpecker. She's sure it's one of the first seen this season.

They say there was quite a bit of loss in production when the mills’ changed from rayons to nylons. The difficulty of converting to the new product also slowed workers down. . By the looks of things women may be resorting to leg makeup more than ever in the next few months, One manufacturer said-it'd take six months before a reasonable amount of hosiery could be put on the market.

Japs Not in Commission

WHEN the armistice commission was announced, nothing regarding Japanese disarming or evacuation was included. Not even a word about the Japanese occurs anywhere in the official peace agreement. Yet, thanks in great part to Gen. Marshall's influ: .ence, both the Nationalists and Communists have now agreed to let the tripartite commission pluck the Japanese from their still well-armed garrisons and arrange their dispatch homeward. For the past five months this job has been stymied for lack of adequate transports. Gen. Chiang Kai-shek’s government, discarding traditional Chinese insistence on face, now tenders this right to three groups of officers—American and Communist as well as Kuomintang. Thereby the

My Day

LONDON, Sunday.—At the first business session of the U. N, O. assembly Paul-Henri Spaak of Belglum said that he felt a great honor had been paid him and that he would discharge his duties to the best of his ability. He was kind enough to say a special ‘word of welcome to me and to add how much my husband's work for the organization was in his mind at this opehing session. Then it looked for a little while as though we were going to have an endless number of speeches on the question of rules and proce dures. I notice that men always feel passionately about tnese rules. On our own’ delegation Congressman Bloom keeps impressing upon us how very important it is to get the rules just as you want them. Not having had.vast experience with parliamentary procedure, this never seemed to mie quite as desparate »@ question as it appears to those who are experienced. But I am beéginning to realize that it is a help to have your rules well thought out in advance. The two official languages fused at the meetings are English and French.

their performance. | There was the same hard- headed common sense behind this project as there was behind the British] Schneider Cup racing program—the sound conviction that the racing plane of today is the fighter of tomorrow. Likewise, they -proved, by doing the job with jet-propulsive power planes, that they are ahead of uS, because they made the record and we didn’t. .In other words, today the British stand before the world as a top air-machinery producing nation. That world speed record is worth more in selling British planes in foreign markets than all the advertising in the worid.

WHAT OF IT if the project is financed bys the British government? The plane is a fighter. And the Nazis used the very same technique to sell themselves to the air world in 1938 by establishing a new speed record of 469 mph with a German-built fighter.

First, the fact that their incomes generally have been depressed, which has affected their ability to pay taxes and, at the same time, to keep their dependents economically afloat. Second, the fact that enforced absence from home has made it difficult for servicemen and their dependents to prepare and file complete, accurate tax returns. ! » » ”

It was uncertain what would be worked out, whether normal telephone service would be restored in the many places it has been interrupted, or whether = there would be further interruption, . ° Trouble about the telephone strike, from the standpoint of up-to-the-minute reporting of what is likely to happen, is that the union leaders in charge of the strike arrangements are uncertain about how far they can go without running into a law which might’ subject a large number of telephone girls to fines or Imprisonment. : s NO COURT ould be likely to send these girls to jail if it knew all the circumstances, A No. 1 circumstance is that their leadership is not acquainted with the ways of official Washington, has not learned the ins and outs of laws applying to labor “stoppages.
