RALPH OATES (Continued from One) evils of foreign-bom power politics,” he said. “Nothing must be permitted to enter our way of life which jeopardizes the complete freedom of America,” he continued. The government under the constitution and basic law must be handed down to coming generations, “untarnished by the ravages of those who would substitute nogimentation and law by edict for constitutional government,” the new governor
said.
The first objective of Indiana will be to “continue to do all within its power to bring this war to a speedy and victorious conclusion,” he said. He praised “the leadership of my predecessor and his associates" in directing the Hoosier war effort. "Great though our tasks have been during the war, these tasks ahead grow in magnitude when we consider the problem of rehabilitation of our 300,000 or more members of the armed forces, and the conversion of our •ndustries and agriculture to peacetime requirements,” he
said.
Gates asserted that the state must have a “complete plan” for the “welfare and betterment” of returning servicemen and added that maimed and crippled veterans must have “every privilege within our power,” and that the •vidows and children of those who have lost their lives must have “the same deep consideration and devotion." The Girl Scouts of Putnamville will benefit from a bridge ! and euchre party which will be 1 given Thursday evening, January 11, in the school building. It was started as a small affair! n a private home, but more than 150 people are expected to attend and it was moved to the school building. All proceeds will go to the Girl Scout troop. 1 ALLIES FOUND (Continued from Piitfe One) were being sacrificed by Marshal Karl von Rundstedt to cover the letircment of his main forces into a central defensive position west of the Bastogne-Hoffalize-Liege highway. • One American apearhead was advancing down the west side of that road within about seven miles of Houffalize after cutting the St. Vith-La Roche lateral road two miles below Odeigne.

Congress Gives Up Hope j Many Legislative It, For Early Adjournment | Producing Heated Fig Special to Central Press • WASHINGTON—Democratic leaders In Congress are about scrap their plans for an early adjournment. They arc concedr privately that the "lame duck” session possibly will continue until few days before Christmas. The reason is that a number of important legislative matters pressing for consideration, and It does not appear that they can disposed of without considerable debate. M over, there is little possibility of simply tuck them away until the new Congress meets
Jan. 3.
Legislation to extend the Second War Po act tops the "urgent list” In the eyes of the ministration, and a House Judiciary commit amendment to the bill is expected to promote heated battle. The lone amendment permits peals to a federal district court from any WPB OPA order suspending any priority or allocs or denying a stay of any such suspension. In addition, many members of Congress re~ as imperative a freezing of the old age pe~ tax for another year. The administration Is posed to this, and wants the tax to double a
matically on Jan. 1. A presidential veto may result If Con
passes a freezing or compromise measure.
At any rate—the battle will be time-consuming. And adiiltf fights already are under way on pressing flood control, river

• THE HOUSE DRIVE for a constitutional amendment cuttlnj in on the Senate's individual power to ratify treaties is—in the of most political observers—doomed to Immediate failure. Proposals in the lower chamber would make treaty ratiflea subject to a simple majority vote in both the House and the Sr instead of the present requirement for a two-thirds upper chain vote. At present the Senate is certain to block the measure passed by the House, and the outlook for a stone wall will con" into the new 79th Congress, which meets in January. • • • • • • THE SERIOUSNESS of the lag In war production is being dri home to America’s workers at every opportunity. Army and N chieftains, Jimmy Byrnes, War Mobilization director, Paul McN War Manpower chief, and practically all of the Washington offlei are appearing before labor meetings at every chance to appeal t~
boost in production.
Main reason for the lag is that American troops have been sting ahead so rapidly they are months ahead of schedule and , homefront hasn't caught up with them yet. ( Most dramatic appeal came from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenho supreme Allied commander In Europe. He dispatched 27 fighting straight from the Siegfried Line to Washington to tell the the need for additional munitions.

• THE WAR PRODUCTION BOARD is asking Washington re ers to help put over the story of the urgent need for more , power in certain industries making such critical munitions ns het heavy trucks and artillery shells. WPB Chairman J. A. Krug labor recruitment and genuine assistance to the battle to beat Axis will be vastly stimulated by sending photographers and n‘ men through war plants so they can tell the nation.
