GOP GANG-UP ON WALLACE IS DEFEATED Northern and Southern Democrats formed a solid front in the House on May 3 to bat down a Republican-hate-Henry Wallace attempt to deprive the Commerce Department of needed funds in the State, Justice and Commerce appropriation bill. The House, however, passed the bill and sent it on to the Senate. It was a clear party-front fight and the Republican attack was beaten down by margin of one vote. Speaker Rayburn, Democrat, of Texas,, saved the issue. Following a roll call on an amendment to slash some $4,500,00' from-the bill channeled for additional personnel for the Department's reorganization, the vote stood: Ayes, 127; noes, 126. The Speaker voted "No." When a tie vote' occuvs, an amendent is lost.

Republican Leader Joseph W.. Martin, Jr., of Massachu

setts, demanded a recapitulation but the result stood. In the course of the debate,' Rep.' Lbuis C. Rabaut,' Democrat, of Michigan, defending the appropriation against an attack from Rep. Charles W. Vursell, Republican, of 'Illinois, said: . , . . Can it be possible that the members of this House

have forgotten the vacant stores that stood all over this Nation after World War I, after they had the spiral of inflation and. the grand crash? . . . Can it be possible that they have forgottcri all about the. people that were wiped out financially . . . 2" '

P " V-?"l:A-; '' i Better supply of water assured by heavier rainfall Indianapolis, Ind., Increased rainfall this -month has greatly changed the water supply outlook for Indiana, according to water resources investigations carried out by the United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Conservation. : In April there was little more than one inch of precipitation in Central Indiana, which is two and one-half inches below normal, greatly reducing the levels of rivers, lakes and wells. The average discharge of East Fork White River at Shoals was only 38 per cent of normal, and the fifth . lowest April recorded in the last 32 years, while at St. Mary's River near Tort Wayne jihowed the lowest mean dis-

charge for April which has been

noted since recording began 17 years ago.

As a result, stream flow was

below normal throughout the

month, reaching a minimum of April 30 an all time April minimum in the Northern counties

and 'the normal spring rise of water's in observation wells was reversed during the month. Charles Bechert, head of the Water Resources Division of the Departmet of Conservation, said general rains of low intensity fell on April 29 and 30, followed by heavier precipitation on May 1 and 2, and subsequently the water supply outlook became favorable. The lake level investi

WABASH WHISPERINGS There are rivers of grief and rivers of pleasure, long rivers and short rivers, narrow rivers and

wide rivers, but the one river closest to my heart is the Wabash. To the native of Sullivan county in a strange lsnd a drink of Busseron water would be far more desired than a drink from Ponce de Leon's fabled fountain of youth. When we. read about the Sermon on the Mount, in some way we associate its place of delivery with Merom Bluff. 'Rest assured this country will never go to the dogs because American mothers and American youth will forever keep the dogs on leash. ' Baseball players have no labor Unions, yet they are often called out on strikes. ;, Waiting for the other guy to to speak first is a darn poor way to gain friends.

Theme song of the returned: 1 go tenting tonight on the old dump ground, searching for a house high and low, Tenting tonight on the cold' dump ground, longing for a bungalow. Should I happen to break my teacup I can use my wife's hat for my coffee, both are about equal in size. Air castles are about the only type of building that will never

experience a shortage. ,'

There is one spot in Sullivan

Could this cold cream the lad

ies dab on their face be called ice cream. Since V-Day our national red light is sadly out of kilter. Surely there are ample levelheaded Americans to repair this go sign light. Spirits I would not be frightened to meet in the dark are those of my school teachers of

the old Central building. It seems at least that Russia could contribute a little bear meat to the starving. When some big bully boasts to the crowd that he is 'a horse a-walking', most often you can be certain that he's just a jackass. What a pity some men will work hard six days a week and then enact 'The Lost Week-end'. The girls back in our grandmother's day who wore hoop skirts rolled slowly along.

"I have written to the general," Mr. Lincoln said.

JESSIE hurried to the White House and waited for President Lincoln in the red parlor. When he came in, Mr. Lincoln bowed but his expression was noncommittal. Jessie handed him John's letter. "General Fremont asked me to deliver this," she said. A6 Mr. Lincoln read, Jessie thought in terror, His mind is already turned against John. Her fears soon were confirmed. Mr. Lincoln said, "I have written to the general and he knows what I want done." The interview was brief and cool. The president was not inclined to change his mind about John and the quarrel with Blair. Sadly, Jessie sent John a coded message and then went back to St. Louis. John and Jessie knew that the days of his command were numbered if he could not produce a decisive victory. It

Mulligan, who was being pursued by a superior Confederate force under General Price, determined to make a stand at Lexington. Mulligan threw up ; hasty fortifications and sent urgent telegrams to General , Fremont asking for. reinforcements. Though Jessie knew that John had only 7,000 trained men, barely enough to defend St. Louis, she went to his office to urge him to send Colonel Mulligan every last man available. John handed her a telegram from Gen. Winfield Scntt: DETACH 5000 ITTFASTRY TltOM VOTJR TOPARTMF.nt TO mME - TO WASHINGTON WITHOUT DELAY.' THE PRESIDENT DICTATES. "But can't you expostulate with him?" Jessie demanded. "Can't you telegraph and tell him that you need the men to reinforce Colonel Mulligan?"

He moved out at the head of his troops ... lVr the first time in many years, she saw tesrs in his eyes. "No," he said, "that would be insubordination, with which I have been unjustly charged. The capital must be again in danger and must be saved ..." '' Three days later. Colonel Mulligan suffered a crushing defeat. Newspapers clamored for John's removal. "This simply means that you must hasten your plans, John," Jessie said. "You will have to strike before your preparations are complete. Battles will have to be fought without sufficient men or guns. They'll have to be won with substitutes like daring and courage." "Which the South has. in equal mensure," T1I111 pi;l.'"ftut if the North is starved for victories. I'll h,:v5 i i ,?t 'mo.''
