The Indiana Supreme Court confirmed its previous decision which banned dual job holding by members of the Legislature.

Four legislators had asked for a rehearing in an attempt to obtain $25,000 in back pay for other State jobs. The decision was a victory for State Auditor A. V. He employed lawyers at his own expense to fight the case in court after the legislators refused to accept his ruling that dual job holding was a violation of the State Constitution. He was accused of evading taxes totaling $76,800 for the years 1942 through 1945.

LAST WEEK was parade week in Louisville. Over half the population of Louisville police estimated the crowd at 200,000 turned out Monday night for the pre-Christmas parade of storybook characters.

An 80-foot dragon, goblins, pirates and other characters were in the parade. They were made of rubber and inflated with air.

They could neither go forward nor change their minds and return home. Then on Thursday night, between 25,000 and 30,000 persons lined Broadway to watch an hour-long Armistice Day parade.

In addition, refunds amounting to around $185,000 a month would be made to users who have been paying the higher rates since July 16.

The commission gave Southern Bell until November 19 to decide what to do next.
