" Wants Watchdog During the “partial mobilization” he proposed, Mr. Baruch

said an agency should be set up|

to watch its effect on the national economy. . “We must,” he said, “be guided py the necessity of not wrecking ourselves, for that would defeat all we attempt.” - The great need is for America to let the world know where it stands, Mr. Baruch said. His pro“total preparedness” plan, which could’ be set in operation #without delay,” would include: Industrial and wage, price, and rent controls; stockpiling of materials; a “work-or-fight” wartime draft; and taxation to take the profit out of war. “We now face the necessity of petracing, at least partly, those steps of scuttle and run which were taken immediately after the shooting ended,” he said. Ordeals of Peace “That too hurried demobilization was born of the desire to bring our young men back home and of the belief that the mere cessation of hostilities meant peace and of the hope that the United Nations would become effective immediately,” he said. Peace Not Automatic “We have learned that making peace brings its own ordeals and trials. There is nothing automatic about it.”

REE: Immediate re-enact-ment of the draft. FOUR: Immediate adoption of *a total plan for industrial and economic mobilization so that tiniversal training rests upon a solidly grounded pyramid of total preparedness.” FIVE: Assignment of an ageney to watch the impact of partial mobilization on the national economy. ed Mr. Baruch expressed doubt that the six-month UMT training period proposed in the administration's plan would be long enough. Anything less than a year would be “worse than nothing,” ne said.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Mar. 29 (UP)—Two shabbily-dressed bandits robbed the Security Federal Savings and Loan Association here of more than $4000 today. Three women employees were alone in the office when the unmasked men entered shortly after the company opened for business. One carried a gun. Opha Heidt, executive secretary, said he forced her into the vault where his companion stuffed his pockets with curreney. * The other two employees, Mrs. Cartwright and Madeleine Spitamiller, were -herded to the

NO NIGHTMARE

—But it was a dream come true when 8-year-old Johnny E. Combs II, ill in bed with the mumps, rubbed his eyes on Easter morning and saw "Trixie" standing at the foot of his bed. Because of his illness his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Combs, 1424 Lexington Ave., couldn't take Johnny out to see his Easter present so they brought "Trixie," complete with saddlle, right into the bedroom.

Anderson Man Held For. Chicago Hearing

A removal hearing was to be held today in Chicago for a 57-year-old Anderson man charged with swindling Indianapolis persons in a “diploma mill” scheme. The defendant, Harry Boyd Francis, was arrested by Federal agents yesterday in a Chicago loop hotel. B. Howard Caughran, U. 8. district attorney here, said Francis maintained the American Instityte of Physiotherapy and the Indiana College of Physiotherapy, both at 2210 N. Meridian St., as the center for the alleged swindles. Francis was indicted by the last Federal grand jury here on a charge of using the mails to de-

A three-way plan was operated by Francis, the district attorney added. : ONE: A “diploma mill” provided correspondence courses at a tuition fee of $300 and degrees in physiotherapy were awarded. TWO: Francis recruited salesmen to sell physiotherapy courses in a California college the defendant said he planned to. buy. The salesmen were required to post deposits as high as $750. Francis used the money and never bought the college, Mr. Caughran alleged. THREE: Francis persuaded practicing naturopathists to ‘deposit” $100 each for lobbying. to promote passage of a favorable bill in the California legislature. An additional $50 was obtained for expenses. The bill failed to pass, but the “deposits” were never returned, Mr. Caughran added. :

Supreme Court Voids 1884 ‘Indecency’ Law

WASHINGTON, Mar. 280 (UP) —The Supreme Court, in a 6 to 3 split, today invalidated an 1884 New York “indecency” law prohibiting sale of publications devoted to “deeds of bloodshed, lust or crime.” i. Justice Stanley F. Reed said in the majority opinion that the law viojated the constitutional right of free expression. Justice Felix Frankfurter in a dissenting opinion, said that the ruling strikes down similar laws in 19 other states. He was joined by Justices Robert H, Jackson and Harold H. Burton. He said the ruling also casts doubt on the validity of somewhat similar laws in Colorado, Indiana, South Dakota and

I guess I'll build on it.” Before reconstruction, the debris has fo be cleared away. Everyone agreed to that. There were nearly as many opinions on how to do it as there were folks in’ town yesterday. In the red brick schoolhouse on the hill, some civic planning was going on. The planners sat around in a circle on emergency cots and folding chairs. ! “There wasn’t any blueprint for the reconstruction of tornado wrecked towns. Coatesville, the Hoosier Coventry, was something new in recent years to Indiana. : How would Indiana meet ‘the problem?

Plan Reconstruction

The planners were Ralph Brandt and Robert P. Collins, National Red Cross men from the Alexandria, Va., headquarters; Theron Agle, Clay Township High. School prineipal; Wendell Shirley of Amo, Clay Township trustee; Marvin Robison and Mark Hadley of Coatesville, town board members, and M. B. Orr, Federal Works Agency Bureau of Community Facilities engineer. . . The town board members cited the first step toward reconstruction: Power. Emergency installations had restored power| to the west half of town. This is the least damaged half. Need Transformers . They said they needed transformers and other equipment to get power back into buildings in the eastern section. The schoolhouse itself was receiving power from .a gasoline driven generator lent by the Indiana Boys’ School at Plainfield.

Emergency phases of the Coatesville disaster seemed under control. The Red Cross operated two lunch counters serving coffee, fried egg sandwiches and other hot foods. Two unidentified merchants of Greencastle had sent in Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies for the youngsters. Ofters Clothing An unidentified truck driver from Illinois offered a truckload of clothing.

Good lumber ought to be salvaged along with other usable building material, Coatesville can't do the job alone, they decided. There aren't enough able-bodied people left.

Mr. Wallace suggested to Sen. Jenner that he name a personal manager “because of your wish that you be left free to carry on your senatorial duties.” Mr. Wallace satd he will serve with Mr, Millis in a subordinate capacity. In appointing Mr. Millis, Sen. Jenner said the state treasurer “has given me and the Republican Party, in good times and bad, the very, best that is in him.” Rep.

|MacArthur Boom

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Mar. 20 (UP)—A nation-wide organization today began beating the drums for Gen. Douglas MacArthur as “America's favorite son” and the man who can “stop communism.” The organization was set up Saturday when 200 representatives of MacArthur-for-President clubs from 20 states met here and planned a campaign to win the Republican presidential nomination for the Pacific commander. Lansing Hoyt, Milwaukee, was named chairman of the national organization which will have headquarters in Chicago.

In the case of Russia the ban works both ways, Ten schools were approved in Russia origi-| nally. But thé Veterans Adminis. tration withdrew approval after the Soviet Union refused to ad-| mit the Americans. { Fifteen veterans are now 2 tending Czechoslovakian schodls. But these schools have been ordered withdrawn from the eligible list with the end of the present school term. The State Department describes the reasons as “perfectly obvious.”

12 Closed Earlier

Ten institutions in Yugoslavia and two in Hungary were closed to GI's earlier for similar reasons. It was predicted that approved schools in Romania and Poland—and possibly Finland— may be barred to veterans by the government. No schools in Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania ever have been on the government's approved list.
