Rescuers dug and pried through |. the wreckage of the switch engine in a search for Calvin Grubb, 27, Hammond, a switchman, who had been reported missing. One of the rescuers paused to ask the identity of the missing man, When told he laid down his crow bar and said, “I'm the guy we're looking tor, onty I'm not missing.”

Over Proposed Poor Farm
PETERSON
Times Staff Writer ~ LEBANON, April 5—Boone county residents today are dividing into camps over a proposed $150,000 county poor farm. Successive grand juries since 1943 have condemned the present farm east of town on, U. 8. 52 as not only “unfit for human habitation but a disgrace t6 an enlightened community responsible for its main-
past. They also claim that neighboring counties could handle Boone cases at definite rate per person. Those favoring the project feel that some people always will need

The first to cry would be the opposition if a disaster should strike the present farm. “We know what it would be: “‘Why didn't you do something before this happened?’ “We. are trying to do something.

LUDLOW DEPLORES CHURCHILL APPEAL
Times Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, April 5-—That former Prime Minister Winston Churchill did a disservice ‘to the United States during his visit here was charged today by Rep. Louis | Ludlow, Indianapolis Democrat. The Ludlow charge against Churchill was made in a speech which he inserted in the Congressional Record. “No greater disservice has been done to America within my recollection than was done by former Prime Minister Churchill at Fulton, Mo., March 5,” Mr. Ludlow said, | - “He had the effrontery to propose lin effect that the United States and | {Britain enter into a military alliance to rule the world. That proposal was an ugly exhibition of power politics and a sinister challenge to the good intentions of America. > Says Talk ‘Ill-Advised’ “The ill-advised speedh of the former prime minister, made on American soil, proposing that America and Britain join in forming a power bloc, gave our people their first intimate contact with the repulsiveness of power politics. “His propaganda has filled America with suspicion and distrust, and has made the path of peace more difficult. I think our President, sitting on the same platform with Mr. Churchill, would have been applauded by 140,000,000 people if he had risen after the premier had concluded and said: “‘Our distinguished guest completely misunderstands the spirit of America. We intend to be a good neighbor to all the world, but we are not going to join any power bloc or tie ourselves to the fortunes of any foreign power.’ Mr. Ludlow entitled his speech “Off on the Wrong Foot.”

WINONA FRES UNDER CONTROL
$50,000 San Results From Prairie Conflagration.
Fires which raged through the small lake town of Winona, causing $50,000 damage, and through Tippecanoe River State park yesterday were reported under control today. Adjudged one of -the worst prairie fires in northern Indiana history, the fire at Tippecanoe park was
brought under control last night, after breaking out early yesterday. Whipped by a 23-mile-an-hour wind, the flames swept through
1500 acres of prairie land, destroy-|
ing young timber and valuable woodlands before it burned itself out. The fire broke out simultaneously in five different places in the park’s fleld trial area and had covered several acres before fire fighters arrived at the scene. A possibility that the fire might have resulted from arson was considered but has been discarded. Heavy smoke hampered fighters and forced the blockade of U. S. 35. Fire crews from the Knox forester's office and the Jasper-Pu-laski state game farm used backfires, chemical sprays and ditching {to halt the blaze. Flames which at one time threatened the whole town of Winona, on Bass lake, broke out early. in the morning in the former North Beach hotel, destroying the vacant hotel, . a restaurant, barber shop and four residences. The flames were brought under |control by fire-fighting crews from Culver, Knox and Bass lake, The two. fires came immediately jon the heels of a blaze which burned. out 150 acres of standing timber Wednesday, destroying more than 15,000 young trees recently planted by the state forestry division, “The fires brought a warning from State Forester Ralph Wilcox -that careless use of fire and lighted cigarets may have been responsible for the forest and prairie fires.

‘Sweater Girls’ Best in Dixie?
HOLLYWOOD, April 5 (U. P.). ~The better sweater girls are born in the south, Beauty Expert Max Factor Jr. said today. = Girls from Louisiana, Ken=--tucky, Virginia and South Carolina are most liberally built in the bust and hips, Factor said. He didn’t know why. Girls from Helena and Butte, Mont., Duluth, Minn.; and San Francisco have the sturdiest legs, he added. Hollywood natives have tall whistle-worthy figures, but generally poor hair and com_plexions, Factor made these conclusions on the basis of his observation of girls who. come to his studio. “They get their good figures from the all-year round outdoor exercise, but the same outdoors roughens their skin and fades their hair,” he said.
