From the number of pressure
group bills which the Indiana members of the Indiana legislature are introducing, it appears they arv working for individual groups, rather than for the good
of the people of Indiana. Early in the session a Dental
Association pressure group presented a bill making it unlawful fjr a dentist to advertise. The itason alleged was to prevent "quack" dentists from practicing. Why not let the state Dental board which licenses them prevent them from working. That, it seems is the surest means of

Will Fight Japs In 1946 Harmon PACIFIC HEADQUARTERS U. S. Army Air Forces, Jan. 21. - (UP)— The United States still faces the greatest war in its history in the Far East, and Japan will still be "on her feet and lighting in 1946.’’ according to j J,t. Gen. Milla;d F. Harmon, chief of American Army Air Forces in the Pacific. Appealing to the American home front for increased war production, Harmon said in a radio broadcast yesterday that Japan’s main fighting strength nas not yet been engaged and warned that the war will still b ■ "a long way from ended” even when the enemy’s home islands are invaded. Japan’s biggest, best-traine.; r.nd toughest army the Kwantung anrry is "till in Manchuria he said, and there can be no peace in the Pacific until it has been beaten. "If every ship in the Japanese navy were surrk and the ring army in Manchuria still was tn being, we'd have to fight that army and lick it." Harmon said.

PEARL HARBOR. Jan. 24.— (UP) — B-29 Superfortresses turned their attention from the Japanese homeland temporarily today for another heavy attack on military installations on Iwo, stepping stone island half way
from Saipan to Tokyo.
Twice before Marianaa-based Superfortresses have hit Iwo, 750 miles southeast of Tokyo, both times in conjunction with Liberators and a naval task force There was no immediate indication whether surface vesrels and other bombers joined In
today’s bombardment.
Iwo. in the Volcano group, is the main enemy air base athwart the Supertortress route to Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka and serves both as a warning post and as a nest for intercepting fighters. Japanese bombers also have made hit-run raids from Iwon on the Marianas. The new attack was announced in a brief bulletin from the War Department in Washington, which promised details later. The raid followed by less than 24 hours an attack on the main Japanese aircraft center of Nagoya by Maj. Gen. Curtis Lcmay’s Marianas-based 21st

INDIANAPOLIS LIVESTOCK
Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff and Adm. Envst J. King, Commander of
Soviets i the U " S ' f,cet heaf,ed the lis t of
' military leaders scheduled to at1 tend the off-the-record confer-
ence.
The sp'.clal meeting was called I as the house military affairs I committee prepared for final ac- : tion on legislation designed to force men in the 18 to 45 brack- . ts into essential activities as ne ded. Committee chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky., predicted that the Marshall-King reports would bolster congressional supjport for the bill. “I expect they will lay it on the line and give us a true picture f the situation.’’ May said. “After hearing Gen. Marshall and Adm. King, I believe many members who might be against the bill will be convinced that it is necessary to take action to meet the needs of the arrived forces for men and supplies." May said the measure, which may get to the house as early as Friday, faced floor fights over som'e provisions, particularly one prohibiting unions from forcing workers assigned to plants to join unions against their will in closed shops. But he added: "I have no doubt that the bill will be passed by the house substantially as the committee recommends." Other house members were not quite as optimistic as May. Some complained that if the manpower were as acute as pointed out by President Roosevelt in his indorsement of the 18-45 work or fight bill, either Marshall or King or both would have appeared in person before May’s committee. Marshall was Invited, but rejected the Invitation because of the pressure of other duties. Both he and King, however, expressed in writing their pleas I for new manpower controls. House leaders generally were | uncertain about the fate of the | measure after it reaches the i floor, but believed it would not jeome up for a party-line fight. | They said, however, that it was significant that both labor and industry opposed the measure, with organized argiculture divid-

take a much deserved vacation. Mr. Kocher has operated the restaurant for the past 28 years and is perhaps as well known as any individual in Putnam county. Many of his customers have gone to his eating place daily for many years and many have been the heatvd but friendly argument that have taken place over and behind the counter, but both Mr. Kocher and his customers enjoyed it and they all went back for
more daily.
The restaurant was first opened about 50 years ago by a colored couple, and it has been in the same place for many years and it has had several owners prior to the time Mr. Kocher took over. Among those who owned It were Mark Kocher, Charles Crawley who operated It during World War I, Edward Hoffman, William Eiteljorge and was just ahead of Mr. Kocher, Arthur Jackson, Charles and John Haspel, King and Kennedy and probably some others. During the 28 years of serving food, Mr. Kocher estimated that he had served a minimum of 10 gallons of coffee daily and many times that amount and al lowing the minimum figure, he has made and served more than 100,000 gallons of coffee during his twenty-eight years of dealing with his public.
The point values on some fruits, catsup and chilisauce have been reduced. Fifty new blue points were declared valid cn January 1st for each book holder.
IN MEMORY In loving remembrance of Uriel Varvel, who passed away twelve years ago today, January 24, 1933. January brings sad memory Of a loved one gone to rest, ■You will never be forgotten, By the one who loved you best. Our thoughts go wandering. When daylight fades, To the land of long ago, And memory paints the scenes of old In the gold of the twilight glow, We s*em to see In the soft dim light A face we loved the best, And think of him when the sun’s last ray Goes down In the far-off west. The flowers we place upon hia grave May wither and decay, But low for him, who sleeps beneath Will never fade away. Sadly missed by wife and daughter. p.
