oné spelling and some another, of words spelled in two or more ways, the - rule of. reason - dictates that any form acceptable to standard authorities shall be adjudged correct. Y Spelling, keyed in Standard dictionaries with capital “P” or capital “8” or capital “SS” will not be accepted. To meet the accepted form in many schools, however, the spelling of “through” as “thru,” of “though” as .“tho” or “although” as “altho” and of thorough” as “thoro” shall be adjudged correct. The judges are in complete control of the Spelling Bee. Their decision shall be final on all questions. Any question relating to the spelling of a word must be referred to the judges immediately. No protest can be entertained after the contest is terminated.

BRITISH TO OFFER INDIA INDEPENDENCE

(Continued From Page One)

Wallace Murray had pledged Amerjean support to Iran in her efforts to get Soviet troops out of the country. There was no ‘comment on this report in Washington. But the series of American diplomatic notes and protests to Moscow have all been designed to obtain the with. drawal of the Red army from Iran, as was pledged by the 1942 treaty. Revolt in Iran Rumored Among the grop of rumors—all of doubtful origin—were reports that Kurds in northwest Iran had revolted and Set up an autonomous republic. The reports did not Indicate whether the supposed revolt was any different than the almost continuous tribal rebellions which have been going on for years in this wild, sparsely populated region. Other reports sald the TurkishBulgarian frontier had been closed and that Iraq had strengthened her forces on her eastern frontier. The London Daily Herald, organ of the Labor party, took the unusual step of printing a front-page editorial appeal Churchill to break off his global debate with Generalissimo Stalin.

The Herald said Mr. Churchill had his say in his “untimely and irresponsible” speech at Fulton, Mo, and should now hold his peace. Mr. Churchill has let it be known that he proposed to deliver another strong speech tonight in New York City. . Acheson to Miss Speech In Washington, the state department, apparently anxious to underline its dissociation from the new Churchill speech, revealed that Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson who had planned fo attend the gathering as a representative of Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, would not be present.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

to Winston|.

High congressional leaders and administration advisers indicated continuing concern regarding the situation despite President Truman’s statement that there was no justification for alarm about the imminence of another war. Pressed for comment on the international situation, Mr. Truman told correspondents late yesterday: “I am not alarmed about it. I am sure we will work out of it.” But it is well known that some of Mr. Truman's closest foreign policy advisers do not feel too optimistic about working out world problems as satisfactorily as the President's statement might indicate. Seek to Ease Tension Congressional efforts were under way to stem the, flow of harsh language about Russia on capitol hill in an effort to ease international tension. There still was no official Soviet reply to the American notes to Moscow although the official Tass Soviet news agency issued a statement that the American reports on troop movements did not reflect reality in any way.
