Don't overlook that, Mr. Schiltges, beoceause he's president of the Clearing House, is chairman. And who are the other members? One guess, only. They are Mr. Frenzel and Mr. White. But there is another officer She's secretary and manager. That's Mildred Poulter. She's had the job four years, It didn't come easy. For 19 years hefore that, she was slaving away, working up to it. But it was worth it. She's got

‘28' Coming Up THE UP'S BOYD GILL drives between Indianapolis and Franklin. He reads billboards, too. He's been noticing on U, 8. 31 a sign which says ‘Firestone, Jinner of the 500-Mile Race 27

It's on every car.

Metal Grab

THERE'S A LITTLE ‘“metalgrabbing’ going on. ; It's the military and the socalled “essential” users who Aare

piling up requests under the Controlled Materials. Plan which goes into effect July 1. The Iron Age reports that some of the "“requests’ will make quite a dent in the supply. It's so bad that there's been a clamp-down on nickel.

u ” n ALL DO (defense orders) for nickel have been cut 40 per cent. And that makes me wonder if some of that metal won't leak out into other sources. I've never seen a harness yet big enough to hold our economy in line.

Not These Days HERE'S A GUY talking about ‘office efficiency.” Some-. thing's happened to it. This, I guess. The mid-morning coffee “hour,” two or three Cokes, and half dozen cigarets in the “powder room,” all on the boss’

time. {

ferent, and always have been. These people work with their heads and fingers, and nerves.

These create fatigue in a sitting Job faster than on a job where the worker gets exercise, and blood circulates and refreshes brain and muscle. !

Baruch Hits U. S. Complacency as Korea Toll Soars

By United Press’ NEW YORK, May 17 Bernard M. Baruch suggested today that America is wasting in “indecision, confusion, complacency .and selfishness’ the time being bought for preparedness by its soldiers in Korea.

“This nation is still woefully unprepared,” Mr. Baruch said in a speech hefore the spring ROTC review of the City College of New York, commemorating the college's 307 dead of World War I1

“Many of our problems are due military weakness,” he said. “Strength alone can deter aggression and strength alone can defeat it should it come , . .

‘Must Be Ready’

“Why are we, in the face of danger, concerned with petty profits and petty comforts? Why are we wasting the time which is being bought for us at so great a cost, half a world away? We must be ready! We must assemble our might! :

“The spectre of another great war menaces us and the world! teeters on the brink of chaos,”

to

Mr. Baruch said. “And this. enemy from abroad is aided at home by indecision, confusion,

complacency and selfishness.” Mr. Baruch was graduated from City College 62 years ago.

We Fight in Korea

By United Press

WASHINGTON, May 17—8en. Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) demanded today that the administration answer specifically “why we went to war” in Korea and who first proposed Gen. Douglas MacArthur's discharge. :

| Mr. Taft's demand was committee investigating Gen 'ceded defeat in their efforts ‘to order Gen. Omar N. Brad-

ley to disclose private conversations with President Tru¢man on the matter. A vote was scheduled for 12 noon (Indiapapolfs Tithe). . Cadi a Mr. Taft, Republican policy chief, told newsmen .that neither Gen. Bradley nor any other witness should deny answers to questions ‘revelant” to the stormy

inquiry. He admitted, however, that the present committee crisis was

touched off by a Republican question phrased a bit too generally.

Rules for Bradley

The committee whether Gen. Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, should be ordered to reply to a question from Sen. Alexander Wiley (R. Wis.) as to what was said about Gen. MacArthur's dismissal at a White House conference on Apr. 6, five days before the ouster was announced. History and most legal precedents were in back of Gen. .Bradley's refusal to do so, but precedents can mean little in the political arena, Committee Chairman Richard B. Russell .{D. Ga.), has ruled that

Gen. Bradley need not answer the question because to do so would violate the constitutional

concept of division of powers between Congress and the executive. Gen. Bradley himself made clear his reasons for refusing to answer and Mr. Truman, through a White House spokesman, backed him to the hilt. The General said he was “perfecting willing” to answer all

Marshall in previous testi[mony to disclose conversations | with the President when both men were reluctant. Gen. Brad[ley said he expected the same | courtesies.

| Then Gen. Bradley tartly remarked that he had been described by some Republicans as “the President's witness.” He insisted that this was incorrect; he was the “committee's witness.” Gen. Bradley said he was neither a Democrat nor Republican, and that it was “a little bit late in life” to become either,

Knife-Wielder Robs, Slugs Truck Driver

A knife-wielding bandit forced a truck driver from the ecah- of hig carrier last night and forced him to surrender $6 in cash before slugging him. The driver, Otis Underwood, 39, Sharpsville, said the bandit leaped to the running board of the truck while it was stopped for a traffic light at Michigan and West Sts. Mr. Underwood said he was ordered to the rear of a nearby house and was slugged after handing over his money. The blow shattered his glasses. He was cut about the face,
