TEL AVIV, Oct. 22. (UP) Both Israel and Egypt accepted the United Nations cease-fire order today and directed their trcops in the Negev region of southern Palestine to observe the UN order to restore peace to the Holy Land. The truce went into effect officially at 6 A.M. CST, but front line dispatches said both sides had ceased fighting hours before the deadline.

The deadline was set by Acting Palestine Radiator Dr. Ralph Bunche after both governments had indicated the cease-fire would be observed only if the other side agreed to it. Several bombs were dropped on Tel Aviv this morning during the second of two air raid alerts, but officials said there was little damage and no casualties. Israeli forces held a firm -grip on Beersheba, Egypt's main base in the Negev desert area of soutnern Palestine, and were in position to threaten several other Arflh tnumc if Ihr fiahtintt flmme

Election INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 22 (UP) Hoosier voters will decide Nov. . 2 .whether or not Indiana's 97-year-old oonstitution should be amended for the 23rd time. They will vote on a proposed amendment which would lengthen the terms of county sheriffs from two to four years. If a majority of the votes are' "yes", the terms will be for four years beginning Jan. 1, 1950. In 1921, voters rejected a proposal to extend all two-year county offices to four years by a vote of 115,139 to 82,389. At that time, it required a majority of all persons voting in the election, whether or not they vote for or against the amendment, to carry. Now, only a simple majority of those participating in the constitutional amendment balloting is required. It i f ntraB o nrr1 q nr q f inn i ti i by the governor wm pu it into effect.

8 clC Co. Bangs Test Program Presented 1 Dr. O. W. Cottomgim of the State Veterinarian's Office, Indianapclis, told a group of Sullivan County dairy and beef farmers Wednesday night, October 20, how it was possible for this county to become a modified accredited county as far as Bangs Disease in cattle is concerned. Dr. Cottomgim went through the new law in detail and dis$5000 which will ftelp defray the eXpenSe in testing. This amount, ,1 of course, is only a very small 'I fraction of the cost which will be (necessary, but the balance is paid ,by the State and Federal Govi ernment. Sometime after the approrjria- . -v., ...aue, win uegm nu anyone win nave an opporlunity to test, regardless as lu whether or not he signed the petition. This testing will be free of charge to the cattle owners. . After 85 of the cattle within the county are tested, it is compulsory that the other 15 be tested. 4 Before the testing is done, the farmer may choose one of three plans. Plan No. 1 is known as the test and slaughter plan. Here, the farmer merely has his cattle tested and sells the reactors on the market with indemnity bejng paid urj to $50 on clean animals and $100 on registered animals. PlanNo. 2 is very similar, except that it includes calfhood vaccinations. Plan No. 3 is different due to the fact that the farmer keeps reactors, but keeps them isolated from his negative animals. Approximately four months after the J-ii tvJt, ail aiiJ.il laid ai c x CICSICU for the second test Fmr monthg later, they are tested for the third test. After three clean tests with- . in a year, a herd becomes an ac credited herd. As soon as the number of reactors jn a county is less than 1 of the cattle or fewer than 5 of the herds show reactors, the county becomes a modified accredited county. ur- cottomgim pointed out that after two counties adjoining a county become accredited, it is compulsory that the said county Blau f"1 "le Pram m eirect "owever, ne added mat it is much

Southern Demos

Will Stay With

Party; No Deals By Lyle C. Wilson United Press Staff Correspondent , WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. (U.R) Don't make any bets that some conservative Democrats will make a deal with Republicans next January to assure continued GOP control of the United States Sen ate. No such is in sight. If the Democrats regain their majority position in the November election they will organize the Senate with a whoop of triumph. And if it comes out that way it will be the conservative Southern Democrats again who will be on top. Seniority, rules the assignment of committee chairmanships and the privilege and great . powers accompanying same. Senior Democrats on most major committees are Southern conservatives. They may, be, as sometimes charged, more like Republicans than New Dealers on many issues. But they are not going to gang up with the GOP to vote themselves out of powerful positions. The Senate contest is close. ' If the Democrats gain four seats net in this election, they will have a bare majority; 49 Democrats, 47 Republicans. But the Republicans may have a secret weapon in the person of Sen. Glen H. Taylor of Idaho. Taylor is a Democrat now running for Vice President on the Henry A. Wallace ticket.' Wallace, Taylor and their Progressive party do not hide their , immediate objective. They know mey can t De elected out tney hope to elect a Republican Congress and administration. The idea is that if the Republicans are in office for four years thexcountry will swing left again and elect Wallace president in 1952. So Taylor, like as riot, would help . the . Republicans, . maintain I their control of the Senate next .January if it came down to a Single vote. He could not do that, hnuotror maral r r -foil i vote. That would leave the count: Democrats 48: RpnnhTiVane Taylor actually would have cast his vote against the DemQ, cratic motion tq. take over Senate control. Taylor has little to lose. There is no solid recent precedent for the Democrats to read him out of the party just because he is a third party, candidate for Vice President. The late Robert M.

New Girl Seoul Uniform To Make Debut Oct. 31 A new style uniform wjll boost the spirits of Sullivan Girl Scouts as they swing into this year's schooltime schedule of recreation and service, Mrs.

Gladys McCoy, of the Sullivan Girl Scout Council announced today. Although the familier "girls in green" have not given up their identifying color, it is now a brighter and more becoming green and the classy tailored uniform has been remodeled by the famous designer, Mainbocher. It has been a full twenty years since the Girl Scout uniform underwent it's last major change, Mrs. McCoy pointed out. From 1913 to 1928 she recalled, official Girl Scout garb was a severe rough-rider khaki costume. When the 1928 convention voted to adopt a more feminine and . less militarylooking uniform, a dress of greygreen, covert cloth was sub stituted. This same design with such minor changes as the rais ing or lowering of hems and waistlines, has served the Girl Scouts throughout two decades of radically changing styles. Like the U. S. Waves uni form with which Mainbocher made fashion history a few years ago, the new Girl Scout dresses combine functional practibility of line with attractive appearance and precise tailoring. After observing Girl Scout troops and their adult leaders in action, Mainbocher evolved three simple one-piece dresses one for Intermediate Girl Scouts of ten to fourteen, one for Senior Girl Scouts of high school age, and one for adults. All are of a modified shirtwaist style with button-down, lapels, action backs, roomy armholes and flared skirts providing streamlined freedom of movement for the many activities of Scouting. There is also a two-piece dress unit1 of green wool for adults. ' - introduced 10 me new iorK fashion press at a preview on August 27, the Mainbocher de signed uniforms are now on sale in Girl Scout equipment shops from coast to coast. "This does not mean," Mrs. McCoy assured parents, "that girls who have useable outfits left over from last year must discard them. But new Girl Scouts and old members replacing outgrown equipment will be wearing the new uni form very soon." The new Girl Scout uniform will make its first appearance in , Sullivan during Girl Scout Week, Oct. 31 through Nov. 6. Voters To Decide Bonus Issue On Nov. 1 INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 22. (U.R) The voters of Indiana will decide Nov. 2 whether they want to pay Hoosier veterans of World War II a bonus. But their decision won't be binding. The results of the referendum will serve only as a guide to the 1948 General Assembly. Voters will be asked "do you favor the payment of a State Soldiers' Bonus for veterans of World War II?" They will also be asked to choose one of five methods' to finance the bonus, estimated by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce to cost $142,000,000. The five alternatives: a sales tax, increase in gross income tax rates, a net income tax, real estate tax exemptions, or exemption from gross income tax payment for a specified period. Mason Rites Held Mere Thursday Funeral serv'.ces for Murray B. Mason, life-long resident of Sullivan, who passed away at the Mary Sherman Hospital Tuesday morning were conducted Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Billman funeral chapel. The Rev. C. I. Wilson officiated. Pallbearers were Will Lee. Chester Alumbaugh, Russell In body, Mike Tarcheski, Bruce Collins and Glean Morgan. Burial was in Center Ridge Cemetery.

PARIS, Oct. 22. (UP) The six neutral members of the United Nations Security Council formally called on the Big Four today to end their Berlin blockade crisis now ami suggested a Council of Foreign Ministers meeting on Germany about Nov. 30. . : A long awaited resolution seeking to mediate the Big FV.nr rlisnntp over Berlin was presented to the Council after

a last minute request by Andrei Vishinsky for a delay in the

Political Act Of Mine Inspector Reaches Capital INDIANAPOLIS; Oct. 22. (U.R) The Indiana political campaign reached the confused stage today, with everybody claiming victory but all parties trying to outdo each other in the last desperate bid for votes. A scribbled sign near an ele vator in the Claypool Hotel, seat of Hoosier politics, one day this week probably best described the situation. It said: "For going down, push the up button." A lot of politicians felt that way, too. mey aian t Know whether they were going up or down. Nevertheless, both Republicans and Democrats kept up the bar rage of charges and counter charges today, less than two weeks away from election day. , Democratic headquarters charg ed that a deputy state mine inSpe'eW 'tffstf itrated " hundreds-' of GOP pamphlets in the Sullivan County mine fields. The committee quoted a miner as saying: "Sullivan County coal miners are going to vote against Rep. Gerald Landis and Hobart Creighton." The Democrats announced a last-minute election-eve radio rally. An hour-long program from 11 p. m. to midnight on Nov. 1 will be broadcast over a state net work which Democrats said would be used "for the first time in political history." Twenty-two Indiana stations and one Kentucky station will carry the program, which will include introductions of all . state candidates and a "message to the people of Indiana" by Schricker. Indiana's Crai Loses Legion Seat Race MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 22 (UP) Some 30,000 members of .the . American Legion straggled out ' of Miami toward home today i after the most placid national convention in the Legion's 30-1 year history. ' In their last business yester day, the delegates elected 56-year-old S. Perry Brown of Beaumont, Tex., national com-. mander to succeed James F. O'Neil of New Hampshire. ; The convention made his election unanimous on the motion of the two defeated candidates, James F. Green of Omaha. Neb. ! and George N. Craig of Brazil, Ind. Thus an attempt hy the younger element to "take over control" of the Legion was defeated and the World War 1 "old guard" remained in power.

PARIS, Oct.. 22. (UP) Soviet Delegate Andrei Vishinsky is seeking a delay in the afternoon meeting of the United Nations Security Council which is scheduled to consider a showdown vote on the Berlin crisis, it was reported today.

Vishinsky, it was said, held another private conference with Security Council Chairman Juan A. Bramuglia. Vishinsky reportedly advised Bramuglia of the Kremlin's answer to a small-nation compromise proposal for ending the Berlin blockade within 48 hours. Argentine sources indicated that the small-nation resolution called for Russia to lift the Berlin blockade within 48 hours. It also directed the Big Four to start talks on the Berlin currency problem within U) days. Observers counted nine certain votes for the resolution in the Security Council, but the attitude of Russia and the Ukraine was not known. Western officials were unanimous in predicting a Russian veto " when the resolution is introduced. Noland Seen To Win Seat In Conqres Supporters of James E. Noland see bright skies around the prospects of ths young Bloomington, 'Indiana business man and attorney, securing the 1948 Congressional seat over Republican incumbent Gerald W. Landis. While political minds see the I race in a 50-50 balance, comj parison of the drop in Landis' popularity and continual rise in , that of Noland, makes the prospects definitely pleasing, j Landis' plurality over Noland j in 1946 Seventh District voting j was 3,759. He carried his home ! county, Greene, by only a few j votes (Landis 7,603, Noland ; 7.331, a, margin of 272 votes). ; Comparison in his popularity j fall is shown by the fact that in ; 1944 he had beaten his Demo- , cratic opponent. Arthur H. Greenwood by 11,281 votes. This election Noland has ' strong support from many Re- ' publicans, as he had in the last 1 and has also acquired the support of labor and the service , men. Heretofore, Landis has had strong labor support, especially i among the coal miners of the district. His strength, too, was supported by backers of the jTownsend old age pension plan. i Observers believe Landis has I lost much of his support from i the Townsend grouo, which, in fact, probably has lost most of , its identity. ! According to reports from the j district, Landis has lost his i labor strength, and the C.I.O.iP.A.C. is battling him tooth and ! nail.
