eensnre, state auditors revealed
yesterday In an audit report tor
1939 filed with the Marlon coun
tj court
In a Hat of 22 "general com
ments" on fiscal practices f ol-
lowed in county departments, the
auditors distinguished c h a n ges
and improvements whidh would
offer greater accuracy and legal
ity, but in no case offered censure
for past delinquencies. -
The audit report itself was a
10 -page duplicated binder, liber
ally sprinkled with figure tabula
tions of county fund balances, and
ither summary material.
In sereral cases suggestions
preyiously made were repeated,

offered had not been made before
by state auditors.
Deputies' Salaries
Not Statutory
It repeated the suggestion made
by previous auditors, for example,
tbat deputies salaries la certain
departments be brought withia
tha limits permitted by statute or
the statute itself be changed.
The report also repeated previ
ous observations ' that maps and
plats in the assessor's office are in
poor repair and in seed of re
placement, and stated that if prep
aration of current tax rolls were
coordinated with new tax account
ing procedure in the tax collect

The state auditors noted that
fees of the county surveyor, re
ceived for surveying services and
for as of blueprinting equipment
In the courthouse, were not terl
fied because of lack of records
made available for audit.

Buildings Blasted

Factory Damaged
ERBE HAUTE. Ind- Oct. 4
Three buildings at the Commer
cial solvents corporation's plant
here were destroyed tonight by a
lire which followed the explosion
of i 10,000 gallon tcetono still.
One workman was missing and
believed to have been killed, two
others were slightly hart and five
more escaped unscathed as the
blast lifted the still tower into
the air and spurted flames over
adjoining structures.
The huge chemical plant, spread
oTur fonr blocks, was caid to have
had no government defense orderi
but the federal bureau of Inves
tigation apparently took a hand
in the case within a short time.
Company officials said they
could give no cause for the blast
nor calculate the monetary loss.
The buildings destroyed housed
the bacteriological laboratories,
the nltroparrafin derlvates plant
and the acetone derivatives plant
where the blast occurred.
The corporation's adjoining
whiskey distillery was unharmed.
The plant was established by
British Interests during the World
war.

The term "draft" is In disrepute

inaccurate because this ia ther be

Conscription is an age-old prin

elementary principle that every
citizen owes a duty to defend the
state, the speaker declared. He
traced the faults of early Ameri
can conscription plans, culminat
ing in the Civil war system with
its bounties and bounty-jumpers
and its trouble-making provision
for hiring substitutes. The 1117
law was good, but the IS 40 law
