Plan Changes
In Jury Trials
Circuit Judges George H
Duncan and Rex Kimmell are in
conference Saturday with a com
mittee from the Marion county
bar association ironing out wrm
kles expected to be had under
the new system to be inaugurat
ed in circuit court here soon ol
holding Jury trials In both Court
rooms with two Judges Instead
of lust the one jury trial in one
court and equity trials in the
other court as has been the sys
tem in the past.
It was stated a number of
complications are to be taken
care of. One will require the ne-
cessity of doubled jury panels,
that is a panel of 62 names
rather than the statutory 31
names which has been in use.
The law, while fixing a Jury pan-
. el at 31, allows leeway where
there is more than one judge to
call as many as desired. Judge
Duncan said that the average.
With special venires, has bean
about 40 Jurors called for a
term With an average of 22 ac
tive Jurors after excuses were
all granted.
But with the panel of 82 or
more jurors there will still be
the matter of how the juries can
be called for the individual
trials, especially if two trials are
going on at once in the two
courtrooms. Thera will be but
the one Jury list and the possi
bility faced that the same Jur
or may be called at the same
time for both trials, How to tncel
this is a matter to be dptcrmln
ed. It is stated that dividing of
the jury panel between the two
courts may have legal repercus
sions which might invalidate the
trials. Other complications also
were expected to arise for dis
cussion. Red Brifon Hits
At Bradley
Moscow, Aug. 27 (IP) Prof. .1.
D. Bernal, British physicist, told
the Soviet conference of peace
proponents today that Oen.
Omar N. Bradley openly de
clares Americans are planning
to bomb Russian cities. Such
talk, Bernal added, Is disgust
ing. (Bernal was among several
British left-wingers who were
denied visas by the American
stale department when they
sought to attend a communlsl-
led ' peace conference in Now
York last spring.)
Bernal said science Is being
put almost exclusively to use In
war preparations under capi
talism in the western countries.
He contended a group he called
Anglo-American Imperialists, is
planning mass destruction of mil
lions of peaceful people.
Bernal hailed Prime Minis
ter Stalin as the "great leader
and defender of peace and sci
ence" and was heartily applaud
ed. (The attack on Gen. Bradley
spread also In Berlin's soviet
controlled press and In carica
tures posted In the German city
overnight. He was pictured
there as a war-monger.
(Postcard-size caricatures were
plastered In the western sectors
of Berlin, showing Bradley posed
Napoleon-slyle with hand In
tunic viewing an a r ra y of
bombs labelled England, France,
Germany and other western Eu
ropean countries. The caption
"I know no nations any more, I
only know cannon fodder. )
Pope Plus XII was another
figure under attack at the Sov
let conference. A Russian ortho
dox church dignitary said the
pope Is anti-Christian, "the agent
of American Imperialism" and
"an ardent enemy of the USSR."

Indianapolis, Aug, 27 f) In
dianapolis, scene of the first na
tional encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic 82 years

A half dozen of the surviving
16 members of the GAR are ex

Wednesday.
Two of the Civil war veterans

mander, says he'll be "proud to
be the last commander." The
second it James A. Hard, 108,

Princesses of
Japan Joyous
Tokyo, Aug. 11 ()- The prin
cesses of Japan are just crazy
about this new "demokrassle"
that arrived with th occupa
tion. '
Frees 'em to go window shop
ping, even ride bicycle if they
feel like It. A princess riding
a bicycle in the old days would
have rocked the imperial court
circles like a first-class earth
quake.
Not now, though, under Ja
pan's democratic constitution
which holds that a prince la no
better than the next man,
Four princesses told how they
like their new freedom In a
roundlable reported today in the
September Issue of the Home
Journal of Japan,
They are Princesses Asako Fu-
shiml, Naoko Kan-In, Toshiko
Kaya and Yoshikori. (All are
members of Japan's princely
families although none la of the
family of Emperor Hirohito.)
Here are some reasons they
gave for doting on democracy;
They got rid of a lot of bor
ing ceremony,
They.can window shop, enter
restaurants, ride street cars and
even talk with the passengers.
They can have a hot meal. As
they put It: "Never were our
meals hot because the kitchen
was so far away the dishes cool
ed while the servants carried
them down long halls. Now we
even bring pans right to the ta
ble." And on top of all these boons,
they point out that a princess
now can marry for love!

Vote Expansion
For Airforce
Washington, Aug. 27 m
Authority for a big expansion
of the air force won senate ap
proval by unanimous cbnsent to
day after brief discussion.
It passed the. 70-group air
force bill previously approved
by the house after striking out
a section that spelled Out the 70
combat groups and other units.
Retained in the bill, however,
was the house-approved author
ity, for $24,000 serviceable air
craft or- 224,000 airframe tons
aggregate. -
This would authorize the air
force to buy if congress pro
vides funds later all the air
planes regarded as necessary for
an expansion to 70 groups,
Senators said the house lang
uage spelling out the 70 groups,
22 separate squadrons and 61
air reserve groups was meaning
less because a group or squadron
varies widely.
The senate also struck from
the house-passed bill authority
for both the army and air forc
es 'to develop and buy guided
missiles.
' These are the push-button
type, long-range weapons of the
ftlture wara of which the Ger
man buzz bombs and rockets
were a forerunner toward the
end of World War II.
