"It restaurant inspectors had authority to issue “stickers” like Indianapolis policemen, sanitary violations in eating and drinking places would be curbed more effectively, Clarence Taylor, superintendent of community sanitation,
Today, he warned, is the deadline for obtaining restaurant licenses. A $4 charge on the original $17 fee will be made during February and in March all late applicants will be assessed an extra $9. A health board permit must accompany all applications. “We're not trying to put anyone out of business,” Mr. Taylor said. “But we do want to enforce strict cleanliness in our restaurants.” The present system of warnings and court procedure to insure strict compliance with existing city, county and state regulations is too slow, he stated. To instruct restaurant owners and employees in proper sanitary methods, a school will be conducted at the Indiana university medical cen-

After arrangements with the state board of health are completed, groups of restaurant owners and workers will be scheduled to meet at weekly programs starting in February. Members of the boards will lecture and movies will be shown on restaurant sanitation.
coming apart at the seams and you haven't been able to buy a suit because of the disappearance of men’s suits from stores? And youre asking what's it all about and how long does this business go on before someone moves In"and does something about it? All right, insofar as agreement on anything is possible at this point, here's what some clothing manufacturers and some government people seem to agree on in this newest national snarl-up:
First, the shortage should begin to ease in two or three weeks. You won't be able to walk into a store and find racks loaded, but retailers should be able to satisfy some early customers. It will be late 1946 before supply catches up sufficiently to build up stocks. Some manufacturers say
all demands this year.
Demands Heavy The basic reason for the shortage is that for years the looms and factories have poured their output into the military services. The industry hasn't quite had time to reach big-volume civilian production yet, and the demands are colossal There have been sharp words between manufacturers and the office of price administration over OPA’s

some hope for a price easing soon, they're deliberately holding men's suits off the market. ‘Nobody seems to know exactly how many; both industry and government people say it could hardly represent any large percentage of a season's production. : John D. Small, civilian production administrator, today ordered an investigation of this hoarding. That may help.
Due Late February
late February for two chief reasons: It takes about three months from the time wool processing begins before worsted fabric is delivered to the manufacturer. It takes another two months for suits to start coming out at the other end of the factory. That's five months, And it's just over five months now since V-J day and the big swing from military to civilian production in men’s clothing. About enough time has passed to allow some of the first 1946 numbers to be appearing. Then, a long-awaited new pricing order on men's suits is expected to come from OPA within two weeks. It’s in the mill now, 50 typewritten pages of it, about as simple as the inside of a Norden bombsight. Briefly, it seeks to hold men’s suit prices at the August, 1945, level. Its effect should be, OPA people say, to equalize price and

$1,100,000 Saving - Proposed by Indiana Utility.
The Public. Service commission today studied a voluntary rate reduction proposal by the Public Service company of Indiana which would save Hoogler users of electricity $1,100,000 annually, Petition for approval of a new lower rate schedule was filed yesterday and was announced from Governor Gates’ office as the first success in the administration drive to cut utility costs. It was understood members of the P. 8. C. had conferred with heads of at least three other large utilities in the state about the possibility of lower rates. Seek Split of Tax Cut The governor and the commission already have served notice on utilities that efforts will be made to eut the pubic in on savings which will result from the lifting of federal excess profits taxes. These savings to the corporations are expected to gross between $25,000,000 and $30,000,000 a year; part of which the state officials hope will be reflected in lower rates. a LeRoy BE. Yoder, chairman of the P. S.C. said the new Indiana public service schedule was filed after a series of conferences be-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 (U, P.).— Foreign. observers may be allowed to witness U. 8. atomic bomb experiments on ‘ships: but they will have no opportunity to get any information of technical or sclentific value, army and navy. officeys agreed today, Officers familiar with test planning said that the foreigners, if allowed to attend the tests, would be placed under the same restrictions proposed for correspondents, commentators, pho other observers {from the
commission members covering seyeral weeks. Broken down, the proposed savings would amount to $722,000 a year for residential and commercial customers in 70 Indiana counties, $268,000 to industrial users of power, and $120,000 to cities and towns on street lighting costs. In a brief statement on: the reduction proposal, R. A. Galagher, president of the company, said: “It is because of our confidence in the immediate future of this area that we have, even in the face of higher costs and present industrial turmoil, made this reduction as the company’s contribution in trying to keep living costs down.

Smith gave his opinion to the congressional -Pearl Harbor committee as an “amateur strategist.” He said he had no quarrel with the fact that the fleet was based at| Pearl Harbor, however, He said the fleet received excellent training under the system carried out there. Rep. Bertrand W, Gearhart (R. Cal) asked Adm, Smith for his opinion as to what would have happened if the fleet hadn't been in Pearl Harbor.

“Had the fleet been on the Pacific coast I do not believe Japan, would have attacked in the manner that she did at Pear] Harbor,” Smith replied. “It is ridiculous to believe that such a force could have approached San Pedro without detection. There is a lot of merchant shipping in that area. Some one would have detected it. “They would have had to refuel three times on the way over and the same number of times on the way back.
