, DEMOCRAT TICKET For Congress JAMES E NOLAND Bloomington, Ind.

"HANG YOUR CLOTHES ON A HICKORY LIMB, BUT DON'T GO NEAR THE WATER" . The "draftless draft bill" just passed by the House by a vote of 290 to 108, in defiance of the advice and recommendations of General Eisenhower and his staff, and of Pres'ident Truman, bids fair to make a laughing stock not only of the congressmen who voted for it, but also of its sponsors prominent among whom is Representative Forest Harness of Indiana. The bill was opposed by Indiana Democrats Ludlow and Madden, and joining them against it were Republicans Gillie, Grant, Johnson, Landis, Springer and Wilson. Representative Halleck joined Harness in voting for the measure. Representative LaFollette, campaigning in Indiana was not listed. House members (including Harness and Halleck) who

thought they were playing clever politics with this billbidding for the papas' and mammas' votes as well as i the youths' and potential draftees', by excluding teen-agers and

giving all clrattees a live-months postponement of the event

ual, "greetings" re expressing surprise as its almost universal reception; finding that it is, on the other hand, a pol

itical Doomerang.

General Eisenhqwer and other top Army men say that final passage of this bill would mean that the Army would

be short 135.000 men by summer, and. "God help our men

overseas, if our armies of occupation then have trouble with

the Germans, or Japs.

Another potent comment is inevitable: The very same

people who have backed this "draftless draft bill" are the

ones .who have talked loudest and ' most insultingly about

Russia. .

A "eet-tough" policy certainly does not coincide with

what amounts to a "demobilization" program. You can't chew

a tough steak without teeth.

STATE POSTWAR WORKS PROJECTS TOP 35 MILLION More than $35,500,000 of post-war public works projects will be planned through loans to the local government units in the slate, Kenneth L. Schellie, director of the Indiana Economic Council, said yesterday. He announced that blueprinting loans totalling $1,190,293.55 have been authorized from a $500,000 revolving fund created by the 1945 General Assembly for that purpose and from the Federal Works Agency. Total construction involved is $35,708,806.50. All of these. projects approved will have a permanent value to the community and are badly needed. They are not made-work enterprises. MEAT SUPPLY CUT 9 PER CENT Nine per cent less meat will be available for Americans this quarter than during the last three months, the Agriculture Department said. The reduction reflects a declining volume of live stock marketings and continued large exports to needy areas abroad. Farm sales of live stock, particularly hogs, drop off during the spring and summer months.

MARRED. BALLOT INCREASE SEEN The mutilated ballot, provoker of some of Indiana's hottest election disputes, may get a "cooling off" in the state's 1946 cdunty elections. Cooper C.' Clifton, director of state printing purchases, believes that inferior paper used in printing county ballots may greatly increase the number of mutilations and that it would be "unfair" io disqualify large numbers of voters for this reason. So Mr. Clifton said yesterday that he will recommend to the State Board of Election Commissioners that they urge county election officials to count all county ballots which have been mutilated unintentionally.

"1 brought it back for you," John told Jessie.

JOHN had many fascinating stories to tell of America's great west which was slowly being mapped and explored. Jessie's eyes glistened as he described how he had found the highest peak of the Rockies and there planted the. American flag. Two days later, her child was born. When the doctor told her that it was a girl, she burst into' angry tears. When John entered, she said, "Don't console me. If you try to turn me off with platitudes, I shall never forgive you." John had a cloth bundle under his arm. He said, "Darling, you remember the flag I told you I planted on Fremont's Peak? It's a little faded, but I brought it back for' you." .' He shook out the flag and laid it across; her bed. Jessie was touched. She held out her arms for the embrace which her first disappointment had denied them.

He umped up and danced her around in circles.

Once more up and around, Jessie tried diplomatically to guide John in the writing of his report. The works of earlier explorers, she long had realized, were too dry and stilted for popular consumption. She wanted John to write a report which would capture the imagination of the country and lead to more and bigger expeditions. She set up a desk for him in their sitting room. She kissed him and said, "Good luck, my dear." .. But by the end of the second day, he had accomplished nothing. "I can'tt understand it," he growled. "When I tell you stories of what happened on the trip I am stimulated, the words flow. But on paper they are cold and dead." With her pulse bumping in her throat, she asked, "Perhaps I can help You tell me the stories and I'll write them down for you." She shuddered lest he think she was trying

She sat down at her desk with John walking the floor. to intrude. But he jumped up, threw his arms about her and began dancing her around in circles. "Jessie, my love, I've been wondering how long it would take you to offer your services." It was on New Year's Day Of 1843 that she sat down at her desk, with John agitatedly walking the floor behind her. In the first rush of his enthusiasm, she was unable to
