State Guard Ope To Enlistments
Once again the ranks of the Indiana National Guard have been thrown open for enlistments. Indiana Adjutant General Howard H. Maxwell said “all out” re-| cruiting orders have been sent to more than 105 ground and air guard units throughout the state. An order from Washington lift-| ed the recruiting ceiling, he sail,| and enlistments are open in all batteries, special troops: and squadrons. Guard ‘Well Along’ The open enlistments are ex-| pected to cut down the long wait-| ing lists built up by some state units. Gen. Maxwell said the Indiana Guard is “well along” in its long rahge planning: for next summer's annual two-weeks training period, although it is not known whether or not Camp Atterbury will be uséd. Gen. Maxwell pointed out that men enlisting before reaching 181; are -exempt from the draft and would be free to continue their schooling or jobs under the one night per: week training program of the National Guard.

Then, on July 9, 1943, Harvey Grabill, Indianapolis attorney, was selected as special judge which position ‘he still holds after five years. Five months later hearings were started on the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case. Then . on Jan. 17, 1944, Judge Grabill ordered all defendants discharged and the case dismissed on the ground that the state had delayed trial beyond the legal limit. Ruling Reversed . ~._ The prosecutor's office appealed the decision to the Indiana Supreme Court which reversed the ruling on the ground that it had not been handed down on sufficient .evidence. This put the case back where it was in May, 1943, and Judge Grabill instructed the state to present more evidénce to support its argument against dismissal. *aas The second round of hearings! ~~ ,. ... on the dismissal started Nov. 11, 1945, one year and a half later. After several days of hearings {Judge Grabill continued the case while the state and defendants! {filed briefs. | Finally on Feb. 28, 1946, nearily five years after the indictments were returned, Judge Grabill |again sustained the motion to {dismiss the case on the ground of {undue delay in going tq trial. Prosecutor Blue as one of his {last acts in office late in 1946 appealed the dismissal decision back I {tothe Indiana Supreme Court. ’ Another Reversal Nearly a year later, on Oct. 22, 1947, the Supreme Court again reversed the dismissal decision and ordered Criminal Court (Judge Grabill) to set the case for trial on the merits of evidence against the defendants. On Dec. 11, 1947, the records show the court ordered the defendants rearrested and placed on new $1000 bonds each to await trial. After delay of almost another year since the Supreme Court ordered the defendants to stand trial, attorneys for the defendants last week filed another motion to dismiss the charges on| the same old grounds. If Judge Grabill overrules this motion ‘the next step will be to set another date for the trial.

Employment Takes Seasonal Drop
Loss Offset by Call For Retail Workers
Indiana employment was sliced 1.2 per cent when Hoosier canning factories laid off 18,000 seasonal {employees last month. A report from the Indiana Employment Security Division of the U. 8. Bureau of Labor Statistics discloses total employment dropped 14,400 below the midSeptember all time high to 1222 400 in mid-October. The call of retail trade for al most’ 4000 workers offsets the loss. Manufacturing employment, which includes the canning industry, fell 3.1 per cent, caused by a steel shortage and incompleted con~ tracts. Of the 20 groups of manufacturing industries covered in the division’s study, there were 12 increases and eight decreases. Employment decreased more than one per cent in food and kindred products groups, which were influenced also by the canning industry. Employment also fell more than 1 per cent in industries of non-electrical machinery, lum-
