Spoonmore, ' who was well covered on the play, changed pace, snatched the ball when it seemed as though ,an Alice back had already knocked it down, turned and outdistanced the back for the re- ' maining 15 yards. Later, Vincennes' Jones broke off tackle 4tfrom his own 34 and evading two Arrow tackles, streaked the final j66 yards for the last score for the visitors. Wernz, Arrow guard, and Oldham, tackle, spoiled the xtra point try when they threw Jones back on the 7 on an attempted line buck for the point. Stan Scully, fleet Arrow half- . back, was a standout for the local club on offense, showing 'exceptional drive on line bucks and off-taekle plays and accountI ing for much of the rushing Yyardage for Sullivan. His defensive play was also much improved over . previous games. Wernz and Oldham stood out in the line on defense, both players a constant threat to opposing backs on line plays. Twice when Sullivan phad their backs to the wall, Wernz and Oldham proved the mainstays by breaking through and setting the Alices for losses to turn the tide. . Officials: Lowell Willis, Referee; Harry Walters, umpire; Tarry Jarrett, head lineman.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (UP) A . high government omciai said today that price controls on flour, bread and bakery products 'will be discarded by the end of the week. He said the only reason the Agriculture Department refused to remove price controls on baked goods yesterday was because it was not ready with the necessary paper work to take controls off flour too. In another step in President Truman's accelerated decontrol program, the Agriculture Department eased its restriction to give more grain to domestic food manufacturers, brewers and distillers. The action means about 18 more grain for distillers, 6 more for brewers and 17 more wheat for breakfast food and other food manufacturers. COUNTY RECORDER'S REPORT FOR SEPT.

Indianapolis Writer Features Sullivan In Column Sunday
I Sullivan citizens were pleasantly surprized Sunday when they read Joe Adams' "Rambling 'Round" column in the Indiana- , polis Star, for the featured sub ject in the article was Sullivan! Mr. Adams, who is not to be confused with the Times' former editor, has been writing his "Rambling 'Round" column in the Star for several years and each day features a different Indiana town or city.' Following are his comments on his i'recent trip here: "Time means nothing to; i the people of Sullivan, home town of the distinguished Will H. Hays, Fred Hoke and others. The handsome courthouse in the center of the neat square has a four-faced clock and you can select whichever time you like, though a better variety could be offered. The faces read: 10:01, 11:04, 11:14 and 12 night or day, according to your preference. "Mr. Hays, who once assured me there was no state so grand as Indiana, probably would say the reason no one in Sullivan is particularly concerned about the time is that no one there wants to go anywhere. And I'm inclined to agree with him. Even during an atrocious spell of weather I enjoyed the restfulness and charm of the town and was loath to leave the cozy Davis Hotel, was colorful and historic Vineven though the next objective cennes. "And, possibly to prove that time means nothing to the Sullivanites, the clock has been stop ped for eight years, I was told "This dereliction, if it be such, ...u vucumo. ui . wmiis not in keeping with the beauty . I J l : il. i uuuSc lisCu. xuc unices are ongut and clean and the circular lobby with the stair in the floor is most attractive. "There you discover a plaque 'in memory of Antoinette D: Leach of Sullivan County, whoobtained for women in Indiana the right to practice law.' "It was erected by Alpha Xi Chapter of Phi Delta Delta, legal fraternity, Oct. 2, 1937. "H. V. Bennett is among the businesses in Sullivan and, in- . Mentally, most of the busi nesses are on the square. Mr. Bennett is a druggist and I figured correctly I could get the 'dope' from him as well as from anyone else. Besides, his place was convenient and, since I was not going by the courthouse clock, I hadn't much time. "Mr. Bennett is an enthusiastic Sullivan booster and points out it is a fine, agricultural region and with a number of industries, too. But he talked fervently, of the natural beauties of nearby Merom. "This little town was once the site of Union Christian College. It's the highest point of Sullivan County and is on a bluff which offers a breath-taking view of Illinois lying at the foot of Indiana. Such a gorgeous overlook, says Mr. Bennett, should be converted into a park. "Incidentally, not far away is Shakamak Park, occupying cor-

In season it is a beautiful spot and there national swimming meets are held. . "The sudden drop in temperature caught me, in a manner of speaking, in my shorts, and so I met all the men's clothiers on the square, in a vain search for some longies. Thin and long, I told each of them, but they had only the long-handled, double-wing-back kind at least 50 per cent wool. And I didn't want to go fidgeting into Vincennes in them.

We intend to spend from now until election day informing the voters of both Republican and Democratic parties in the Seventh District in regard to the way Landis has failed the people," Anderson stated.

II. S.

The Atlanta Constitution and the Atlanta Journal have announced increases in their subscription rates for carrier-delivered daily and Sunday papers from 30 cents to 35 cents a week, and an increase from 10 cents to 15 cents for their Sunday editions. The morning Constitution said in a Page 1 announcement that the increases "have been made necessary by greatly increased costs of newsprint, larger pay. rolls and higher printing costs." The afternoon Journal also said the revision in rates had been made necessary by "the increased cost of newsprint and the mounting costs of operation."
By U. S.
Lewis's, demand for a new round ai . i
The government s position was outlined in a letter to Lewis by Captain M. H. Collisson, govern1 administrator. He re plied to a letter sent by Lewis yesterday to Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug.. Lewis had asked for a reopening of the wage contract signed with Krug last May 29th. He said there had been "significant changes" in government wage policy and accused the government of violating the present agreement. He cited a carry-over provision in the union's 1945 contract permitting any party to reopen the contract on 10-day's notice as grounds for new negotiations with the government. . "With respect to your statement that significant changes in government wage policy have occurred," Collisson replied, "such changes, if any, provide no contractorial basis requiring negotiations for a revision of .the Krug-Lewis agreement." Collisson also' deniecV thai 'ths reonenine provision of the union s 1945 contract was carriea into the government agreement. He quoted a provision which said the Krug-Lewis agreement "covers for the period of government possession the terms and conditions of employment in respect to all mines in government possession." k "This statement of the agreement's life is unqualified," Collisson said. "The Krug-Lewis agreement carries forward only those terms and provisions of nnet nnntrarts which were not amended or supplemented by the Krug-Lewis agreement." AMARILLO, Texas, Oct. 22. (UP) Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug denied today that the government had breached its contract with the United Mine Workers and said the contract did not provide for reopening wage and hour negotiations. Krug said he was surprised and disappointed at John L. Lewis' charge that the agreement was being violated, and at Lewis' request for a new contract. . He said he had held a long conference with Lewis Saturday and that he already had suggested to Lewis that the two technical interpretations of the coal mines administration to which Lewis objected be submitted to arbitration, in accordance with the contract. British Deny Exploiting East . In Policy Talk BULLETIN! LONDON, Oct. 22. (UP) Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin today derided as "sheer nonsense" allegations that the British want to oppress and exploit the peoples of the Middle East.' In reviewing British policy in the world situation, Bevin said "it remains an essential part of the general policy of his majesty's government to respect, sustain and develop the independence of the peoples of the Middle East." Deploring what he called the "war of nerves" over the Dardanelles, Bevin said Britain would insist on the sovereignty of Turkey and the "interest of other powers concerned outside tha Black J3ea area."
