reclatlon bo sent to Keller for
lis long service.
Before action was - taken,
Wnvnr Ostendorf produced a let-
!er from Keller in which Keller
luggested that tho council wait
i week before making an ap
pointment. He also suggested
the names of Earl Hamaker and
Myrle C. Adams as possible
touncil material.
Sifttd th. LUt
Landrv tlien stated the coun
oilmen had sifted the list of
voters in ward No. 2 looking for
touncil possibilities. He said
they had considered Adams and
city cemetery committee,' and
not ilHQ U111C IU I'UIIUIIUC UU MIC
or tnat reason nis name was
drooped. Hamaker was contact
ed, but because of his connection
with a federal agency could not
accept the job. -
Landry said the councilmen
had agreed that Van Doren,- a
oast exalted ruler of the Elks
who is well-known in the com
munity, was well qualified for
the appointment ana nis name
wne nlnoed in nomination.
At this point, Mayor Osten
dorf produced anotner leuer
from Councilman Keller. This
letter said Keller did not know,
at the time he agreed to resign,
that Mayor Ostendorf had not
been informed of the plan. Had
he known the mayor had "been
kept in the dark on the matter,
he said, he would not have re
signed.
Councilman Angus Newton
then nroDosed that the council
withhold action for a week, as
suggested by Keller, to give
voters of ward No. 2 a chance
to make suggestions.
Stormy D.bat.
Councilman Landry remarked
that ' we have considered this
matter a lone time.
"Who the hell is we?" asked
Newton in a loud voice.
"Members of the council," re
plied Landry.
Landry remarked further that
he understood Mayor Ostendorf
knew enough about the matter
tnat ne naa ouerea tne jod to
a "couple of candidates."
"Not me," said the mayor. "I
haven't the authority to do that."
"We're glad you realize that
now," answered iandry.
and Van DoreA's appointment
went through without a dissent
ing vote.
Under a charter amendment
council has authority to fill va-
cancies In its membership. Prior
10 tnat Hcuun, sucn vacancies
were tilled by special election.
Van Doren's term will continue
until the next general election,
November, 1946.
Keller was president of the
council at the time of his resig
nation, and it is presumed the
council will elect a new presi
dent after Van Doren is sworn
in. The president of the council
presides at sessions when the
mayor is absent.

STATE RESTS CASE

not answer questions asked him
and appeared to be in a daze or
to have had a paralytic stroke. .
Under cross-examination, how
ever, Dr. Adler said the condi
tion described might have come
from a convulsion but not from
shock at the time of the accident.
Shock, he declared, would have
left Young flaccid and slumped
over -.
But, Dr. Adler stated later, he
could not say just what. was the
basis of the defendant's physical
trouble. With Dr. Adler's testi
mony the state rested its case.
Humble's first witnesses yes
terday afternoon told the circum
stances of the accident. N. O.
White, employee of Lombard
Motor company at 6th and Plum,
testified that he saw Young's au
tomobile crash into the rear of a
car belonging to George Hixon
wmcn was parked at the inter
section on S. 6th.
Found McPh.rr.n
White was the first man to
reach the scene of the accident.
He found McPherren pinned be
tween the two cars, badly in
jured, and called an ambulance.
Hixon was lying in the street,
also injured. -
White said that Young was
sitting in his car staring straight
ahead, pale and apparently
dazed. After the cars had been
parted and McPherren 'extricat
ed from between the bumpers,
White said. Young attempted to
start his machine, whereupon he.
White, took possession of the
keys which he later turned over
to a police officer.
Hixon was the next witness
called. He related how he had
momentarily glanced over his
shoulder, and saw Young's car
approaching and had leaDed
back just as the car struck. His
right leg was caught between the
bumpers. Young remained seated
at the wheel. Hixon said, not
speaKing, and appeared a little
pit dazed." i
Odell Olson, city traffic offi
cer, arrived at the scene a few
minutes after the accident and
had Younir taken to the nolice
station. Olson testified that Mrs.
Young told him her husband
shouldn't be driving the car in
the condition he's in," and Vern
wagner, city policeman, who
took the defendant to the station
stated on the stand that he heard
Mrs. Young ask her husband if
he had "blacked oujf."
Dr. Adler defined1 the term
"blacked out" as a "sudden loss
of consciousness," this morning,

SYSTEM POSES
Truman May Ask
Wage Increases
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23
Reports circulated today that
the administration may ask in
dustry to increase .pay" while
holding the line on prices, and
unions to compromise demands
for a 30 per cunt hike. .
.President Truman, exploring
cautiously all aspects of the
wage-price problem, is believed
to have been urged by cabinet
and other advisers to try this
course first.
There were signs that fur
ther discussions will be held bo-
fore the White House issues any
statement, and even that the
whole matter may be deferred
until the labor-management con
ference beginning November S.
YEARS OF AGE

this legislation promptly
while the danger is still fresh in
our minds while we still re
member how close we came to
destruction four years ago
while we can vividly recall the
horrors of invasion which our
allies suffered and while we
can still see all the ravages and
ruin of war," the president de
clared. All young men, Mr. Truman
asserted, should be Included in
the training program, . whether
physically qualified for actual
combat service or not. Ho urg
ed no exemptions for occupation,
dependency "or for any other
reason except total physical dis
qualification."
"There should be a place into
which every young American
can fit in the . service of our
country," said the president.
"Some would be trained for
combat, others would be trained
for whatever war service they
are physically and mentally
Qualified to perform.
"It is only by strength that
we can Impress the fact upon
possible aggressors that we will
tolerate no threat to peace or
liberty."
Congrats Has Power
The president emphasized
that congress alone could send
trainees under the universal
training program into the army
and navy and that if the time
came "these trainees could be
inducted' only by selective pro
cess, as they were inducted for
World War 1 and world war
II."
'The great difference between
having universal , training and
having no training however."
the president declared, "Is -that
in time of emergency, inose wno
would be selected for actual
military service would already
have been basically trained.
"That difference may be as
much as a year's time. That dif
ference may be the margin be
tween the survival and the de
struction of this great nation."
Under his' plan; the president
asserted, provision should be
made within the armed services
to help trainees improve their
educational status.
"The year of universal train
ing should provide ample op
porunity for self improvement,"
he continued. "Some part of the
training could .be used to de
velop skills which would be use
ful; in future civilian life just
as such skills have been de
veloped during ! the present
Tax Slash Bill
Gets Approval
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23 MP)
The senate finance committee to
day formally approved the new
taxxutting bill, giving taxpayers
a saving of $5,625,000,000 next
year. . .
.. The overall figure, based on
revised estimates by experts, is
$4,000,000 smaller tnan the on-
Sinai estimate of tax reductions

Chairman George (D-Ga.) said
there was only one last-minute
attempt to amend the bill and
that failed. Senator Vandenberg
(R-Mich.) moved unsuccessfully
to give corporations a retroactive
$25,000 exemption from the ex
cess profits tax, applicable to
1845 income.
