Circuit Solicitor T. H. Boggs

described the case as murder

The couple was listed as Mrs.

A grocer should be a good pros

One of his customers, considering
buying some eggs that are mark

"How much are these eggs

consults the slide rule wrist watch,
smiles and says, leach egg costs
you only ALL cents, madam
And think of all the money gas
station men would save by having
a batch of the slide rule wrist
watches. They could throw away
all the expensive computing g a
pumps and with the flip of a
thumb figure up how many gal
Ions you can get for a buck. No
strain, no pain.
Even more revolutionary would
be the housewife, struggling to fig
ure out the budget, quipped with
the calculating watch. Confronted
with the problem of paying the
butcher three dollars, the grocer
five dollars, the telephone com
pany two fifty, the installment
company six-ninety-eight, and still
have enough left over to go to a
couple of movies-all out of IA

budget is balanced.
And consider what a top-notc1
baseball slugger could do with a
slide rule wrist watch. Instead of
trying to knock a home run by
guess and by gosh, he could be
scientific about it. First he would
observe the force and direction of
the wind. Then he would notice
notice how deep the outfielders
were playing. Also he would know
how fast a ball the pitcher would

of the ball, the distance from his
hands that the ball would strike
the bat. and predicting how much
wind would be produced by the
cheering Of the fans when he hit,
he would put all the numbers on

Now the batter h a S the perfect
answer, and when the ball speeds
across homeplate, he swings with
scientific grace and blasts out a
homer. If he doesn't strike out
Yes, the future of the slide rule
wrist watch is limitless. Every
man, woman ano child in every
profession and hobby would have
a simpler life with one. Problems
of finance and figures would van

If there are $50, 900, 900 people in
the United States. the fortunate
company that holds the patent
should sell $50, 900, 600 slide rule
wrist watches.
In steel they are only $500
apiece, and if you're proud enough
to wear one, you should be glad
to pay $3.50 for the supreme model
in gold.
Come to think of it. a slide rule
wrist watch is just what I need to

A matched camp on the bank
of the sacred river Jumna near
here was the fountainhead of the
protest movement. The demonstra-
tons will reach their climax after
the return of Viceroy Vlscount
Mountbatten from London.
Three hundred learned Sadhus,
or Orthodox priests, gathered at
the camp have dispatched mes
sengers throughout India to sum-
mon aid from the country's 200,-
600 Pandits, or Hindu scholars.
Saint Swami Karpatriji Maharaj
was reported coming here to
lead the movement. He recently
was released from Lahore prison.
He was arrested in connection
with communal disturbances.
Daily for three weeks groups OF
10 to 80 Holy men have been
parading outside the viceroy's
house and the homes of other
prominent men. They have been
arrested regularly for violating a
law prohibiting assembly of more
than 10 persons.
The demands of the Hindu Holy
men included:
An end to the killing of COWS,
sacred to the Hindus.
A united India.
Cancellation of all constituent
assembly bills which would inter
fere with Hindu religious prac-
tees.
No interference with traditional
methods of image Worshi@
No pollution of temples.
Formation of all constitutions
making bodies in consultation with
the Hindu scholars.
Since one Hindu priest died in
jail after a Today food and water
strike, police have been transport
ing arrested demonstrators 20
miles or more outside Delhi and
leaving them to walk back in the

arrested this week for the fourth
time, said police left him 40 miles
from the city. He could not use a
conveyance because of his religion
and had to walk back with the
temperature 1903 degrees in the
shade.
Most of the priests practice the
Yoga philosophy. One went into a
three hour trance after his arrest
and police left him for dead. When
he emerged from the trance. ne
walked back to camp.
Among the Hindu sects arriving
here were the Nagas, from the
jungles near Benares. They are
nudists who have renowned WON

they falter in their resolves, they
are supposed to offer penance by
walking to their death in Holy

Truman Plan for USES
Awaits Senate Action

President Truman's plan to keep
the United States Employment
Service in the Labor Department,
instead of returning 1T to the Fed
eral Security Agency, rests with the
Senate today, after having been
turned down by the House yesterday.
The employment service was
transferred to the Labor Depart
ment under the Presidents wartime
powers. Recently he proposed to
make the transfer permanent under
the general Government Reorgani-
zation Act. Under that act any
presidential order may be stopped by
Congress if both houses disapprove
it.
Still awaiting action by both
houses is another recent Truman
reorganization order, merging most
of the permanent housing activities
The House Expenditures Committee
voted yesterday to recommend dis
approval of this order, also.
A third reorganization order. af-
fecting agencies in the Agriculture
Treasury and other departments
was approved by the House Commit
tee and is expected to go through
Congress does not have to take af-
firmative action. Unless both houses
disapprove an order within so days
it takes effect.

the Army announced today.
The veteran is Martin j. Papula,

Papula was found in April-and

any Communist affiliation or SYM
pathies, as has Mr.. Wallace.
The committees new report, men,
bers said. will be a detailed one on
the organization activities. In
Vestigators and staff members have
been working on it for weeks.
