Fleming Tries To Catch Truckers With Their License “Tags Dc
SECRETARY OF STATE Charles Fleming is a hard man to discourage. Some trucking firms who have been doing a fancy job of juggling residences, license plates and semi-trailers may find this out the hard way. °
Mr. Fleming has more than just a vague idea that some of the interstate haulers and some who haul entirely in Indiana but live somewhere else are juggling of taxes. - He asked the attorney general’s office about it. That office replied in polite but unmistakable terms that collecting taxes was pretty much none of his ‘business. Particularly, the opinion said, were taxes due townhips and counties out of his e.

GOP Eves Idleness REPUBLICANS are watching unemployment, wondering if that’s their issue for 1950 elections. So far, 81st Congress hasn't provided GOP with much campaign fodder. Economy in government is being talked up by some Republicans, but they've tried that before, and it's never proved effective. Sen. Homer Capehart, one who has to run in 1950, wants to link unemployment with foreign policy. He's already saying, in Indiana speeches, that if we continue building European industry, we'll get more unemployment here.

Soviets Anxious To Promote Trade

temporary working agreement of complete agreement, is generally expected to result from the sixth post-war meeting of the Council of Foreign Minister opening at Paris tomorrow. The key to the proceedings will be provided by the Russians when Andrei Vishinsky, the Soviet's foreign minister, states their position. This position has been kept absolutely secret and it is anybody's guess whether it will be very conciliatory, lukewarm, or rough and tough. Most of the experts are inclined to think that it will be somewhere in the middle, Eager for Trade They do not think that the Russians will go completely overboard to get agreement on the unification of Germany, They do
“|expect, however, that the Rus-
sians will do everything to secure a working arrangement between their own Eastern zone of Germany and Western Germany. The Russians are expected to do everything possible to revive and increase trade between Western Germany on the one hand and Eastern Germany and the Iron Curtain countries on the other. Their aim will be obvious, to re-establish Germany's economic reliance on Eastern Europe and,
In other words they will endeavor to secure by legitimate commercial means what they have so miserably failed to do by roughhouse tactics such as the Berlin blockade. : The Western Allies will hammer on the need for greater political freedom in Eastern Germany. If the Russians press for the amalgamation of Eastern Germany and Western Germany they will be told that Eastern Germany must be prepared to accept the principles of the Democratic Bonn

But when he made another disappearance, into the office of the Soviet police the day after he won a diving contest, Mr. Napolz did not re-emerge. Immediately afterward the Russians threw his wife out of their apartment. Mr. Napolz has been “underwater” now for about three weeks.
