. In .declining to conduct a full dress investigation of al

leged .'primary election fraud in Kansas City, the United, States Senate may have been guided by results, or rather; lack of results, in. similar cases. i The most notable, perhaps, is the Indiana case of 1944 when the Senate sent a sub-committee to Indiana to probe into alleged irregularities resulting in the election of one of 1 its present members Senior Senator Homer E, Capehart. ; . At that time Indianapolis teemed with special investf.gat-! ors from the United States Department of Justice and later, . a two member sub-committee of the Senate's Green elections i fraud -committee came to Indiana to conduct hearings on the i mass Of evidence gathered by .the Department of Justtee. : The investigation "died on its feet." ' Now that the Senate has decided not to conduct such an investigation in Kansas City, a cry of "whitewash" has been I raised, by some of the more rabid, of the "get Truman" Re-1 publicans in the upper house. Others, knowing that one of their tnembers is serving as a result of an Indiana election ; in which admittedly nearly 25,000 -persons were disfran-'

chised in Marion County alone, are keeping reasonably quiet. Missouri "whitewash" is no worse than the brand used in Indiana. . .

Once Over I Lightly

Political Comment

It appears that frequently the most obvious answer is the most easily Overlooked. Questions raised in a' typical "letter, to the editor" appearing in , various forms almost' every day in. the columns of Indiana newspapers, , are included in the fo.llowyVgv from The Indianapolis News: I , "I am an Indiana veteran and there are a lot more like . me. Aren't we as good as our buddies in Illinois, Michigan, New York and other states who were given a bonusZ k

"Didn't war?

we fight in the same

"Well, why aren't we getting a bonus??' v This Indiana veteran, like the farmer" and the laborer, should begin to realize now that the answer to -his question was written last November when he went to the , polls and voted Republican. , '..All three groups are taking a "pushing around" both in Indiana and in the nation and are beginning to realize that the answer to their problem is a return "to Democratic administration that take into consideration the welfare of the little fellow and refuse to accept, as Republicans have proved they do accept, the dictates of the chosen few in the high' income brackets. Mr. r ! Indiana Veteran, the answer to your question was plainly written on Page 4 of the printed copy of the Indiana Democratic-State Platform, of 1946 under "the .caption, "Veterans." No. 1, of five pledges to Veterans in the platform stated specifically: . "We pledge a just and reasonable adjustment ,in compensation to all honorably discharged veterans of World War II who were citizens Of Indiana at the time of enlistment or induction." Could- any statement more adequately answer the question?

They say that with the new cigaret tax, that Hoosiers are taking to rolling their own. Now, that might be ,true, but if the rest of the Indianians have as much trouble as we did the first and only time we tried that stunt, it won't last long. Back in the days when we were one of Uncle Sam's boys, we were stationed in Texas. One of the lads was a son of a rancher, and he asked us out to the ranch. It was a lot of fun, but one of the cowboys tried to show us how to rpll our own,, and the first and only time, there wasn't any tobacco left in the paper when we finally got it rolled. That was a bad job, and somehow, we could never get up the nerve to try again.

The same lad also got us to buy a pair of cowboy boots, and then made us wear them. Like all Northerners, we had serious doubts about the walkability of the things, and didn't think that they would make us look at all dignified. Frankly, they didn't. However, when the boots finally were broken in, and the blisters on the heels disappeared, we found that the boots were the most comfortable things we have ever worn. Not only that, but around town another person has found the same thing to be true. We aren't the only person to wear cowboy boots on the streets of Sullivan.

Someone had a brainstorm, and tried to decide what the ideal man should look like. To select him, the judges, bless their little hearts, couldn't decide on any one man, so they decided to take a number of features from different men and "compile" the parts and getthe-,, ideal man. It was necessary to get -features from Gregory Peck, Cary Grant, President Truman, Glenn Davis, General Eisenhower, Robert Taylor, Tyrone Power and Gary Cooper. The only thing that was really accomplished was for some people to get their names in the newspapers, along with a little

free publicity. And here we are doing the same thing. f At the zoo in Chicago the custodian is a little atwitter about a blooming love affair, or maybe the proper way to say it, is about a potential blooming love affair. The principals inV the little romance are three giraffes. There are three involved, as the male giraffe hasn't confided in the custodian about which of the two young giraffe-ladies he will select as his mate. Betcha the giraffes don't realize that their affairs are so important. It's happening again. Down in Petersburg, a farmer went .in to town to tell about his pomatoes. It all happened when the farmer planted some tomatoes near his

j potatoes, and now the two plants

are growing on top of each other. He says the bees probably crossed the pollen. If iie had stopped there it would have been reasonably believable, but when he went on to tell about some white

blackberries he had, and he sajd j

they were ripe, perhaps something besides bees are mixed up in the affair. In Indianapolis, Ed Sovola writes a column for the Indianapolis Times. Now, Ed ,is a screwball if there ever was one. But, his ideas for a column are getting him some nice publicity. When all this publicity about the ball-point pens writing under

water started, Ed dressed himself up in a diving suit, and went under to see if the pen would write. The other day he was a little puzzled for an idea for a column, so he climbed a mapla tree and counted the leaves on the tree. He says that he counted them all, and that there are exactly 354.563 leaves on that particular tree. The only comment we can make on Sovole is that Ed hasn't changed a bit since we knew him in college, he is still the same old Ed.
