Baruch Pcst-War Plan Gets Action r _____ WASHINGTON, Feb. ir —The administration accepted almost intact the plan of Bernard M. Baruch for r postwar “adventure in prosperity” and chose Will L. C^yton and Brig'. Gen. Frank T. Hines for two key jobs in the vast demobilization task. Clayton, who used to run one of the ( world’s biggest cotton export busi- | nesses at Houston, Tex., resigned as ; assistant Secretary of Commerce to , take over the assignment of disposing of billions of dollars of surplus war property. Hines will continue to administer veterans’ affairs as he has for a score of years and in addition, will 1 direct “retaining and re-employ- , ment’’ of the men and women as , they leave the armed services and war industries. Mrs. Anna Rosenberg, labor expert and regional director of the Manpower Commission fci New York state, has been invited to become one of Hines’ assistants, j Hines’ duties and powers still must be defined specifically by President Roost.velt in an executive order. A presidential order setting up the j Surplus War Property Administratiin within the War Mobilization Office was signed Saturday. It foil owe closely proposals made by Baruch and his aid. John M. Hancock, in a | report Friday to Mr. Roosevelt and War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes. Chairman George, D., Ga., of the | Senate’s postwar planning committee already was on record with a ! challenge to the Baruch plan, having said Satutday that it poses a basic issue whether Congress or the execu- ! thrs should lay down the general pol- ' itriss of reconversion to peace.

KK» CROSS ANGLES

Sam Hanna, chairman for the 1 county for Putnam county’s 1944 Red Cross War Fund drive, calls attention to a change in the plans for the solicitors’ mee ting planned for Bainbrklge. Instead of as originally announced, that meeting, to be in the Bainbridge High School building, is now scheduled for the evening of

February 25, at 7:30 p. m.

The following township chairmen and their solicitors will be expected at this meeting: Floyd, Mrs . J. E. Rauh; South Jackson, Mrs. Perry McMurtry; Monroe, Clarence Stew-

ard.

LET’S GIVE Ninety per cent of the letters from boys overseas mention Red Cross, and favorably. An excellent example comes from Pvt. Robert Blue, son of Mrs. Ida Blue, postmistress at Put-1 namville. At the time of writing, j Robert was stationed in Naples,

Italy.

“Today was my half-day off again. Three other boys and I took a good hot shower at the American Red Cross free of charge and listened to the G. I. orchestra. After that we took in a show at the Red Cross theater, which is almost as large as the Lyric. It was also free of charge. I think the Red Cross does a lot for the boys overseas. They have a truck named for our state. I saw it the other day. “1 wish you would send me Clair’s address. If he is here, I might be able to find him. I’m up at the Red Cross several times a week looking through the registration book. The only name I’ve seen so far from Indiana was that of Capt. Philip Oxnani, Greencastle.” It is the type of Red Cross service mentioned by Bob that your Red Cross contribution will pay for. LET S GIVE JAMES C.
