28,500 TRAFFIC DEATHSINI94S Rate Up 36 Per Cent , Since V-J Day. ■I ' \ ' 4 . (By United / Chicago. Feb. s.—Traffic deaths took 28,500 lives in 1945 and the rate of such fatalities shot up 36 per cent after V-J day, die National Safety Council reported today. The toll from all types of accidents last year, the council said, was 96,000 killed. 10,300,000 injured and financial loss of $5,200,000,000. Although 1945 saw an end to death on the battlefield, there was a post-war upsurge of accidental deaths on the home-front. The 1945 accident toll was only one per cent atSove 1944. But, die council said, the percentage increase was small only because of a reduction in accidents to military personnel. “Actually.” the report said, “figures show that the nation celebrated V-J day by going; on a prolonged traffic spree that hasn’t ended yet” Vehicle Mileage Up. As evidence of this, the council pointed out that in the seven final months of war in 1945 traffic deaths r,ose only 1.3 per cent over the same period of 1944 but from V-J day until the end of the year they jumped 36 per cent Vehicle mileage in 1945 was esti* mated at 16 per cent above 1944. but 25 per cent below pre-war 194t.‘ In December. 1945, traffic death*? totaled 3,480--an increase of 27 pet cent over the same month in 1944. i; Traffic accidents last year caused approximately 1,000,000 non-fatal in* juries, of which 80.000 left permanently impaired, the council said. The 1945 toll still was 11,500 undel the all-time high of 39.969 set in 1!M1. Decreases in Three States. Os the 44 states reporting complete motor vehicle death lolls lei 1945, three showed decreases from life i ear and 41 showed increases. Those showing reductions were South Dakota, with 21 jx't cent and Mississippi and Delaware, both 1 per cent. Arn< : c cities of more than 250.000 jHgjulation, Oakland. Cal., reported the greatest drop in traffic fatalities, 28 per cent below 1944. Newark, N J, was second with a decrease 'of 23 per cent, and Boston third with 18 per cent Others in the same population group which registered reduced traffic deaths included Buffalo. )N. Y . Birmingham. Ala . Houston, Tex, Indianapolis. Rochester, N. Y., and Philadelphia. Forty cities of 10.000 .or * more popujidion ended 1945 without one me* ith. Biggest city in ttyis clarification was Evanston. 111. with 65.400 residents. Salem.

Freedom of Press Backed By Court (Continued from Page One) the freedom of\he press.” It was further pointed out that Walker’s cabinet job was emphatically political. If the political member of apresidential cabinet could get away with censoring one type of publication maybe he could get away with censoring another. Lower Court Overruled. Justice T. Whitfield Davidson heard the case and ruled that Walker was right Davidson ruled on July 15, 1944, that the suspension order involved neither free speech nor obscenity but only the question whether the magazine was “educational” as required by law. From that point things began to go against Walker and against Justice Davidson who, doubtless, will find yesterday’s Supreme Court opinion interesting reading. W’ith an appeal to the U. S. court of appeals here Esquire obtained a reversal of Davidson. It got a three-judge unanimous opinion which gently spoofed Walker. The three judges suggested that, maybe. Walker had better stick to delivering the mails. Justice William O. Douglas wrote the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion repudiating Walker’s order. Douglas held that the postoffice has no authority to decide whether a publication is “good" or "bad." He said Congress had “broaji power" and need not open second-class mail to publications of all types. But he said to withhold or extend mailing privileges on any grounds whatsoever raised “grave constitutional questions.” Price Control Is Fully Explained (Continued from Page One) and declared that when supply finally equals demand all troubles will be over and the need of government price regulation will end. He said that the United States is one of the only major countries still free from disastrous inflation. This country, with its people fortified with, wealth in the form of bonds and cash, is ripe for a runaway of prices, he said. Inflation Real Threat. Supply of civilian goods now is much shorter than after the first world war. he said, because most factories of the nation have been out of production for four years—two years longer than during the other war. This opens the way for competitive bidding for scarce goods and makes inflation certain unless government control is applied. He explained how the price panels of the local OPA boards attempt to aid citizens in holding prices at fair levels and urged citizens and merchants to co-operate in every way possible. An open forum followed the address by Mr. Weirick. Numerous questions were asked by persons in the audience and these were answered by Mr. Weirick and J. F. Fry-singer, price board supervisor for his area. Security Council Faces Some Trouble (Continued from Page One) just a dispute between two big powers over a small one. Whatever the outcome, a precedent is likely to be set which will influence the handling of other problems just as knotty as Greece, which are due to come up at this session or the next one. Indonesia is next on the list. Russia's charges against Britain there parallel the ones she preferred in Greece. Here a question of the Dutch empire is involved, which broadens the field. Syria and Lebanon are trying to get, the council to consider their demand for the immediate withdrawal of French and British troops from their countries. The European peace treaties also present a potential headache, particularly the one with Italy, involving as it does the direct interests of Britain, France, Austria, Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia.

COURT N EWS Deny Allegations. ! Raymond S. and Dorothy E. Bare. > Mentone, have denied allegations of i Hobart Creighton, trustee, in filing ! answers to the latter’s circuit court | actions against them for ejectment I and replevin. Creighton, former president of the Northern Indiana Co-Operative Association, Mentone, seeks possession of the Bares’ home and damages of S4OO in the ejectment suit, and possession of their auto and damages of SSOO in the replevin action: alleging that they have held the property unlawfully. The suits were filed Bare was indicted in 1944 for alleged embezzlement of co-operative funds. Bare, during the court proceedings, said he had turned over his real estate, bonds, and life insurance policies to Creighton in trust for making good any shortage which might be charged to him. Two circuit court juries failed to reach verdicts in the- case. Motion Overruled. Motion of DoHs M. Resler to re- | quire Edwin D. and Addie G. Anglin to make their complaint for damages on breach of contract against her more specific has been overi ruled by Judge John A. Sloane in circuit court. The Anglins ask damages of $3,000 on grounds that Mrs. Resler repudiated a contract with them to buy a farm near Palestine after an advantageous seller’s market had ceased to exist. The defendant asked in her motion that the Anglins be required to state in what manner the seller’s market had vanished, to show that they had attempted to sell the farm at the I original SB,OOO figure and to set i out how they arrived at the amount of damages allegedly due them. After overruling the motion the court ordered the defendant to make a pleading on or before Feb. 18. Denies New Trial Motion. Motion of the U. S. Fidelity & Guaranty Co., for a new trial in a suit which brought M. Wales Macy a judgment of $37525 against the company has been overruled by Judge John A. Sloane in circuit court. The company, a surety for the late Robert C. Bastress, was defendant in a suit to foreclose a maritime lien and for attachment brought by Macy as operator of the Wawasee Slip, Lake Wawasee. Macy asked judgment on a bill for servicing Mr. Bastress’ Chris-Craft runabout, Tommy 11. The company, in asking a new trial, contended that the findings of the court were not sustained by sufficient evidence and the amount of damages assessed excessive. Finds Petition Sufficient. Circuit Court Judge John A. i Sloane has found the ditch petition of J. Alden Rigdon and 19 other J landowners sufficient and has referred the matter to County Surveyor George Nye and Viewers Franklin S. Maloy and Ross W. Osborn. setting 9 a. m. Feb. 6 as the time for the officials to meet and inspect the lands likely to be affected by the work. The petitioners seek cleanout and repair of the Nevin McConnell ditch in Turkey Creek township. Orders Assessments. No remonstrances having been 1 filed in circuit court to the petition of Hal Wright and John E. Perry for i cleanout of the Frederick Elder ditch l in Washington and Tippecanoe ' townships. Judge John A. Sloane has directed County Surveyor George Nye to assess benefits and damages to each tract of land affected by the proposed ditch work. Viewers Earl Himes and Henry Willis filed a favorable report regarding the ditch cleanout last October. Inheritance Tax Due. A state inheritance tax of $lO5 is due in the estate of Mattie M. Beatty, it has been determined in circuit court. Net value of the estate is $14,499.01. Heirs include a son. Harry R. Beatty; a daughter. Nellie B. Matthews; and three grandchildren, Helen E. Beatty and Joe E. and Carol June Matthews. Files Divorce Action. Elnora Evelyn Allen. Warsaw restaurant worker, has filed suit for divorce in circuit court against Howard Allen, alleging cruel and inhuman treatment and asking restoration of her maiden name. Elnora Evelyn Hanes. The Allens were married July 28, 1945. and separated Oct. 24. 1945. Two Suits Dismissed. Two actions have been dismissed in circuit court on motion of the plaintiffs, as follows: Harold Hite vs. Mabel Pauline Hite, divorce; Ted Nelson vs. Ruth B.’Carter, to foreclose mechanic’s lien. ■ Files Inventory. Elouise Morehead, administratrix qf the estate of William Kuhn, has filed an inventory in circuit court setting the value of personal property at $1274.58. Conserves Soap . If you use the right amount of soap and measure, don't dump, it saves soap and makes rinsing easier for you. Experience will help you to determine the amount that maintains good suds. And remember that if you wash least soiled things first, you can use the suds for really dirty things like work clothes and save soap as well as • energy. ’ Another Map Sentenced. Yokohama, Feb. s.—Kitaro Ishida, former Japanese prison camp commandant known as “The Bull,” today was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment at hard labor by an American military commission that found him guilty of “cruel, inhuman, brutal atrocities” against American prisoners.

Rev. Harry L. Graham, pastor of the Milford Chris- * tian church at Milford, and the Ancil Geiger Post of the American ' Legion, were in charge. Mr. Sechler was born in Milford, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sechler. His death , occurred Jan. 28, in the Ball Memorial hospital at Muncie. On January , 11, he underwent a major operation at Winchester, Ind. , He served four years with the army, 14 months of which were in . , the E.T.O. He received his discharge from tlie service November 15, 1945, *. He was a member of the 192 S graduating class of the Milford high * school.

They are soft and fuzzy compared to worsted yarns. Wool- ' en fabrics, from woolen yarns, are usually more looselv woven than ' worsteds and are used in heavier weight materials for men’s and women's suitings and coatings. Woolen fabrics include tweeds, flannovelties and homespunls. Wild Ducks Wild ducks are apt to have a fishy , flavor. This flavor may be lessened by placing in each duck a peeled carrot, plunging the fowls boiling water, and simmering for ■ 10 minutes before roasting them. The carrot will absorb the off-flavor pnd should be removed before stuff- , ing the duck with the dressing. If ducks have little fat, rub some type « of fat into the breast before roasting. • Khaki Uniforms The word “khaki" as applied to » j army uniforms is taken from a Hindu word meaning dusty or ash- ’ colored. According to the United States war department, khaki uniforms were first worn by American , soldiers during the Spanish-Ameri- ' > can war »
