DEMOCRATS WONDER ABOUT SCHRICKER INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 22 (UP) Many Democrats believed today that the Schricker-

for-Governor boom which developed over the week-end at the French Lick convention of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association was destined to strike snags during the months ahead. . An all-out drive to gain sup- . port for the former Governor Echricker was waged during the two-day meeting. But those backing him for another term as Indiana's governor, conceded not only that it would be hard to elect him if he were nominated, but that it would be a big job to nominate him in the first place Despite popular approval for Schricker's non-committal candidacy, there were strong forces determined to block the campaign and nominate someone else. The factions that failed to rally around the bandwagon and headed by Pleas Greenlee, Democratic State Chairman. Party observers knew that he rumble of discontent over Greenlee's administration was strong among the Schricker backers who were convinced that Greenlee would not direct a campaign to elect Schricker. So, seasoned politics figure, the Schricker issue might not be settled before the primany next May! . , TRUMAN GALLS MEETINGS ON LIVING COSTS ' '. (By United Press' V.

With the first word of frost from the corn belt, prices on the Chicago Board of Trade, the largest grain market in the nation, and the Minneapolis and Kansas City exchanges shot up again, reversing the trend of last week.

He was to have met separately , today with Secretary of State George C. Marshall, to discuss i the foreign food demand; the cabinet, and the cabinet food committee.

EDITORS HEAR KERR BELITTLE GOP CONGRESS Robert S. Kerr, former Governor of Oklahoma, raked the Republican Congress over the coals and said he believed the election of Harry S. Truman in 1948 was a certainty. The address was given before the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association's banquet at French Lick Saturday night, a banquet that a number of Sullivan County people attended. Kerr indicted Senator Robert A., Taft for his part in the draft- j ing of the Taft-Hartley labor law, I in the only reference to that law at tlie meeting. He said tha"t where the people wanted housing, Taft gave the country a law Jha1 1 was- not a public law, out a private failure." He emphasized that where, the people wanted to - prevent prices from rising out of ' sight, Taft and the Republicans ' gave them a law whose "origin was purely vindictvie." The possibility that Henry F. Schricker might be the 1948 candidate for governo on the Demo cratic ticket was widely discussed at the meeting. 1 Those from Sullivan County who attended included Fred F. Bays, James McGarvey,. Miss Telia Haines, George Gettinger, Luther Keene, Paul Boyle, Johi Knox Purcell, Mj-. and Mrs. Malcolm Campbell and Mr. and Mrs. William Jamison. EUROPE MAKES PLANS TO USE MARSHALL AID PARIS, Sept. 22 (UP) Sixteen war-staggered nations of Western Europe, outside the Soviet sphere, asked the United States for $15,810,000,000 under the $22,440,0C0,000 Marshall aid plan and sketched their own program for economic recovery by the end of 151. Banded together as the European economic co-operation committee, the sixteen countries prepared their own blue-print of their needs and their resources as required by Secretary of State George C. Marshall. They estimated that they would need a total of $22,440,000,000 to get on their feet by 1951. Of that sum, they figured on $5,970,000,000 from countries other than the United States, in the western hemisphere. The remainder of the $660,000,000 presumably would be supplied out of their own resources. The commission issued an offi cial summary of the two-volume Europe proposes to fight its way back to pre-war standards by the end of 1951. The report was the fruit of two months and ten days of work by the committee meeting in the Grand Palace in Paris. It was released in Washington and sixteen European capitals at the same time.

Arrows Beat Hatchets 13-6 For First Victory The Arrows buried the Hatchet Washington 38, it looked like the Friday night, and right in the Arrows might score again, but a middle of Washington's Allen fourth-down pass by Carter was Fiffld. It was the fifth time that a incomplete, and the Hatchets Washington football team had took over. The Hatchets marched tried to best the Arrows, but it the ball to the Arrow 15,' where was the fifth time that the Ar- the Sullivan line stiffened and rows had stopped the Daviess held the home team for downs,

County squad. The final score was 13 to 6. Calvin Hilgediek was the big thorn in the size of the home j team, as he racked up all - the, points the Arrows scored. But, ha still had a lot of help from the rest of the Arrows, who played their best game of the season. Hilgediek Serves Beyond a doubt, the biggest thrill of the evening, at least for the' Sullivan fans, was the first Arrow touchdown. Big Cal grab- i bed a poor Washington punt on j the Arrow 33 yard line, and ' plunged all the way , for the game-tying score. He had some beautiful down-field blocking, particularly from Red Anderson and George. Laskey, who took out the only two opponents that had a chance to stop him. The game, stayed tied when Cater failed to drop kick the extra point. The Arrows scored the clinching touchdown after Foster had booted the ball out of bounds on. Uhe Arrow 11 yard- line. From there, the Arrows drove 69 yards in thirteen plays for the winning pohris It started when Bill Pinkston, playing with a swollen knee, went around his left end for five yards. Brodie tossed to Pinkston, and Bill made four yards, then Bill picked up the necessary yardage to the Sullivan 24 for a first down, the first one the Arrows had chalked up. Arrows Start March Brodie went off left tackle for eighteen yards, and. . then hit right tackle for three more. Hilgediek hit the same spot for nine yards, and the Arrows had the ball on the Washington 46, the first time the Arrows had the ball in the Hatchets .territory, except for Hilgediek's scoring run. In two more plays, Big Cal picked up. six more yards, and then Carter passed across the line of scrimmage to Wernz for nine yards, to the Washington 31. In two plays, Hilgediek gained one yard, and then Carter passed to Brodie for twelve yards, and a first down on the Washington 18. On the next play. Carter dropped back and hit Cal Hilgediek in the end zone, and the Arrows were ahead for the first time. The same combination, a Carter to Hilgediek pass scored the extra point, and the Arrows had a ball game. The way the Hatchets started out in the first peirod, it looked like it might be another of those games. It took them just thirteen plays to go into the lead, after they received the opening kickoff. In three tries, Foster took the ball from the Washington 36 to the Sullivan 44. A pass picked up six yards, but two line smashes failed to gain anything: Schiffli punted and Brodie was caught on the Arrow two. Brodie's punt was bad, going to the Arrow 25, and it was returned to the Arrow fifteen. Hatchets Serve Foster hit right guard for three, then Schiffli picked up ten yards through center. On the next play, Foster went over right guard, and the Hatchets had their touchdown, and a temporary lead. An attempted pass was no good for the extra point. Early in the third quarter, Carter kicked to the Washington 33 from his own 32, and when Raley intercepted a Hatchet pass on the

and took the ball.

Then Carter got off a bad kick, and it was Washington's ball on the Sullivan 27. Three plays took the Hatchets to the Arrow 10 yard line, but Pinkston broka that up when he intercepted a pass on his own seven, and took it back to the Arrow 24. Brodie punted to the Arrow 44, and then Red Anderson recovered a fumble by Schifilli on the Sullivan 44. Pinkston took a hand-off from Brodie and raced to the Hatchet 25, picking up 31 yards. The Arrows took the ball to the Hatche.t 14, but here the Hatchets stiffen ed 1 and held , the Arrows for downs.. The Hatchets ' ran the ball out to their 34, but a fumble by Foster was recovered by Hilgediek, and the Arrows ran four plays befpre the game ended. The Hatchets picked up 11 first downs to the Arrows' 9. 'The Hatchets also tried nine passes. Three of them were complete, and alert Arrows intercepted two of them. For the Arrows, Brodie tossed three passes and completed one, , while Carter connected . on four out of five. The summary: Washington Kirby Wildman Graber Scraper
