v.-'v-n the time comes" theory v. popular with the legislator! In fact, there was not i i:in ;!o proposal propounded to spend os much as a nickle of the : um now. Everybody wanted to save it for an after-the-war p rind when they believed the stet -’s income would bo smaller and the ability to build up a buffer trust would he less. But after the war, the legislators, who crimes here Jan. t for a two-month biennial regular s. ssion, have some pretty definite ideas as to how part of th" money should be spent. “If we meet the obligations of t state toward our state inst.tuions and public salaries, wc v. n't need to worry about a surplus,” a democratic senator said. “Let it (the surplus) alone unless it is put to work earning There will be a time when it may e much needed,’ ’another said. Other opinions favored use of part of the money for war veterans" rehabilitation, for improving state institutions and fos roads. “It would be made available for post-war construction and nrieh needed state repair," one representative commented. Another said: “Keep most of it intact until the boys come home. At least, it should not be spent until after the end of the war.” A republican senator suggested that $15,000,000 Cm) of the sum be "frozen” for two y ( ars. He also suggested a systematic plan of spending $10 000,000 (m) to enlarge benevolent institutions. Another Republican senator believed that at some future time part of the money might b> ’’given” to munic palities for
surplus used for the building ot state institution buildings, and looking forward to a real hospital for veterans.” He also recommended consideration of a (Indiana war- memorial plat-
building program.
A southern Indiana Repub' can in the house said that part of the surplus should be used as a lending fund for municipal.ticand counties, to be used in con-
struction work.
But most of the legislators said simply and briefly that the money should b> saved until it was needed mo^e than it is now The only difference in their expressions of opinions was the words they used — the theme
identical.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (UP) The nation’s civilian defense corps has been alerted to the possibility of enemy robot or rocket bomb attacks. National Civilian Defense officials dis-
closed today.
The action, OCD emphasized, is merely one of routine preparedness and “should not be interpreted to cause any alarm.” “We want the public to become conscious of but not excited about the possibility of a robot attack,'' a spokesman said. “Our protection instruction bulletin is in line with the policy of being prepar. d for any eventuality.” ! The agency said it had distrib-
uted to all state councils protec-, today December 26
tion bulletins covering instruc- j tions to civilians "regarding their conduct in the event of robot or !
rocket bomb attacks.”
Meanwhile, Several defense j units in the eastern defense com- j mand were reported to have been i re-activated to study preparations ! for additional defense and pro- j tection in the event of a V-bomb
attack.
OCD said governors of Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia met recently with eastern defense command army officials and civilian defense chiefs to discuss re-activation of "certain civilian defense services.’’

WEARS NEW INSIGNIA ALLIED HEADQUARTERS. Philippines, Dec. 26. (UP I Gen. Douglas MacArthur today was wearing his five-star insignia beaten out of a miscellaneous collection of Filippino, Dutch and Australian silver coins furnished by his aides. The word that MacArthur; had been promoted to the rank of general of the army posed a knotty problem. No such insignia as the five stars in a circle were available here. A Filipino silversmith from Leyte township was called in for a hurry-up job, and instructed how to make the new badge. The coins showered down, and in record time he came up with two handsome insignia designating MacArthur’s rank.

(A eomp.lation based on daily communiques showed that, in the Philippines alone, the Japanese have lost 1,869 planes in November and December, 743 of them this month. )In addition there | were |80 probables. American losses for the same per.od totaled 94 in the Philippines.) Heaviest blows reported byMonday’s communique were at Halamahera, in the Moluccas, and at Manila’s Grace Park Air-
drome.
Heavy, medium and light planes hit Halamahera with 280 tons of bombs in sustaining December’s daily strikes at the Moluccas. The heaviest previous ra.d was 100 tons on Dec. 8. Some 25 enemy planes were destroyed on the ground as the Philippine-based heavy bombers raided the Manila field. No Japanese plane rose to challenge the bombers’ fighter escort. Other American bombers raided Mindanao and the Visayas group in the Philippines, Lesser Sundas, Borneo, New Guinea and Bismarck and Solomons Islands
