REPORT 50 DEAD III HOTEL BLAST HI JUL! Blame Anti-British Plot By Jews; Many Wounded By Land Mines.

JERUSALEM, July 22 (UP) Unconfirmed reports said, fifty persons were killed today when land mines, apparently . planted in the basement of the King David Hotel, blew up the British Military Headquarters. An additional 140 persons were known to be wounded, forty of them seriously. Military forces took over the Jewish agency building again after having relinquished control last week. Jewish leaders were rounded up by -police and military officers and held. The Exchange Telegraph in London said British Intelligence Officers estimated the bombs had the effect of a 500 pounder. The saboteurs, described as Arabs, walked directly into the hotel after driving up in a truck. They were challenged in the corridor by a British Major whom they shot and wounded, reports said. , ' r The Jewish underground organization, Hagana, was blamed for the blast and police immediately took into custody two Jewish youths and a young Jewish, girl as suspects. An immediate curfew was ordered i until further notice. The powerful explosion was believed caused by a ; bomb L or bombs planted by the Jewish secret underground organization as a counter blow to the British military roundup of Jews in Palestine. Army and government officials were buried in debris when the explosion went off with a shattering roar which smashed . a whole wing of the hotel and wrecked . a nearby Y.M.C.A, building. Soil Conservation Field Day July 25 In Knox County The Second Annual Soil Con servation Field Day is to be held in Knox County on the Lester Williams farm on Thursday, July 25. This field day is something different from the usual run of field meetings because of the Terracing Contest which will be the central point of interest. Only farmers using their own tractors and plows (or borrowed equipment) are allowed to participate. They build a terrace using the equipment they are used to using or think makes the best finished terrace. It is open to Knox County farmers. The Vincennes Kiwanis Club is sponsoring this event for the second year in cooperation with the Knox County Soil Conserva tion District Directors and coun ty agricultural extension office. The agricultural committee of the club is in charge of arrangements. Cash prizes for contest ants are as follows: $50.00 first, $35.00 second, $20.00 third and $5.00 to all others. Another special feature this year has to do with a stock water pond now five years old on the Williams farm. Dr. Louis Krumholtz of Indiana University, in cooperation with the Knox County District and Mr. Will iams, recently poisoned this pond with Rotenone to clean out all the fish preparatory to stocking this pond with hybrid fish. Dr. Krumholtz has tabulated the species and numbers of fish of each species removed from thi9 pond and it is interesting to know, this pond of one and onefourth acres supported about '00 lbs of fish. Dr. Krumholtz will Jiave an interesting story for those present on the principals of stock water pond management for fish production.

INDICTMENTS CHARGE PaZ. Bolivia Quiet Under New Government Now A PAZ,. Bolivia, July 22 warKers ana stuaents toaay established a provisional govern ment after a bloody four-day revolution in which an estimated 260 persons were killed, including President Gualberto Villarroel who was shot, hurled from a balcony and his battered body strung up on a lamp post. Estimate of wounded ranged as high as 520. , La Paz was quiet today under the strong control of the youthful revolutionary group which proclaimed its democratic aspirations and announced general elections would be called as soon as possible. It was believed the provices would support the new government although fighting between peasants and the constabulary was reported at Cumper. Newspapers which have not appeared for four days were due to be issued today. The newspapers Ultima Hora and LaRoson which had not been seized by the government were to be returned formally to their proprietors. The success of the revolution was attributed to the fact that troops on whom Villarroel relied stood aside when the anger of the pecple became evident after the slaying of a group of university students Thursday. PROPOSE ANOTHER PEARL HARBOR PROBE WASHINGTON, July 22 (UP) Two republican members of the Pearl Harbor committee today proposed another inquiry when and if the G.O.P. gains control of Congress. Senators Homer Ferguson, R., Mich., and Owen Brewster, R., Maine, said the diplomatic negotiation which preceded the December 7, 1941 disaster need further exploration. Another investigation would seem to- contravene republican party policy as laid down in the platform adopted by the last national convention in 1944. It declared flatly that "We want no more Pearl Harbor reports." NEW SUITS Seaboard Surety Co. vs. Irvin Priest, Ernest Lovelace, Dola A. Lovelace, Urban Lovelace. Complaint for indemification.

President Having Bill Analyzed To See Inflation; Congress Adjournment Will Be Delayed. WASHINGTON, July 22 (UP) President Truman told his congressional Big Four today that he was having the compromise OPA bill ananyzed to see if he could sign it as a satisfactory measure to prevent runaway inflation. Senate democratic leader Alben W. Barkley, Ky., expressed hope after the Big Four meeting with Mr. Truman that the President would sign the measure upon which Senate-House conferees reached agreement Saturday night.' ' The congressional leaders felt that the Senate-Housa conference had worked out a workable anti-inflation program.

WASHINGTON, July 22 (UP) BULLETIN ! Senate Leader Alben W. Barkley, Ky., today predicted rapid congressional approval of a compromise bill that will revive OPA' for a year and restore rent ceilings. He made the prediction in announcing th'at a majority of the Senate-House conferees had signed the agreement reached Saturday night on the price control legislation. , ---Barkley said he had every reason to believe both the Senate and the House would approve the legislation without delay. It was expected that the House would vote on it first, probably tomorrow. President Truman, according to the Big Four and White'" House Press Secretary Charles Ross still has not indicated whether he would sign or veto the comDrimise bill which was

agreed upon after five days committee. Pearl Harbor Repoi rt Exonorates Late President WASHINGTON, July 22 A majority of the congressional Pearl Harbor committee, laying solely to military men the failures which contributed to the 1941 disaster, declared that the late president and his cabinet "discharged their responsibility with distinction, ability and foresight." That finding in an eight-man report signed by two Republican House members brought a sharp dissent, however, from Republican Senators Ferguson (Mich.) and Brewster (Maine) of the 10-man committee. In a separate report, they asserted that Mr. Roosevelt "was res ponsible for the failure to enforce continuous, efficient and appropriate" in Washington "in evalua ting information and dispatching clear and positive orders to the Hawaiian commanders." The majority hit vigorously at assertions they said had been made that Japan was "tricked" into her Dec. 7, 1941, attack. Contending the President and then Secretary of State Cordell Hull "made every possible effort" to avert war, their report said: "The committee has found no evidence to support the charges, made before and during the hearings, that the President, the Secretary of State, or the Secretary of Navy, tricked, provoked or coerced Japan into attacking this nation in order that a declaration of war might be more easily obtained from Congress." The majority, although saying there were failures among the military men in both Hawaii and Washington, voiced no criticism in their conclusions of Gen. George C. Marshall, 1941 army chief of staff, or Adm. Harold R. Stark, who was chief of naval operations. MARRIAGE LICENSES John" A. Lankford, Sullivan, plumber and Carolyn B.
