1 IlTCC UlVOrCCS Given Saturday; out some reasons. Specifications coming out of Washington for government projects are ridiculously vague. To straighten out what is wanted, one would have to spend in the Nation's Capital. Self respecting Hoosier contractors shy away from needlessly costly government methods. For instance, specifications called for a 14 foot deep footing for a proposed construction for 2,000 square feet, on a Veterans north of Ije.

As a result veterans hospitals that should not cost over $15,000 a bed are costing the taxpayers $28,000 a bed. Furthermore, Uncle Sam is a notoriously poor paymaster to Hoosier contractors. Only big contractors can take government jobs.

Educators here said thousands of queries have been received from students worried by the fact that their school and their statutory may end before they can take the forthcoming aptitude test, or before their scholastic grades are out. Students who score 70 or better in the test, or who are in the upper ranks scholastically, may be deferred in order to resume their education in the fall.

Stockyards Fire Loss Over $4,000 Saturday Evening Fire starting in straw in pens at the east side of the building caused an estimated $4.300 loss at the Armour Co. stockyards here Saturday night. Seven hogs were consumed by the blaze. The fire, fanned by a strong west wind, raged fiercely before firemen brought it under control. It was confined to the east side of the structure where the roof, supports and pens were badly charred.

The blaze was discovered and an alarm telephoned to the fire department at 15 p. 45 minutes after the yards were closed for business Saturday night. Firemen laid three hose lines in fightihg the flames. The stockyards are located at Sexton Street and the Baltimore Ohio Railroad. D.

R. Marsh, manager, said the seven burned hogs had been isolated because they were timid and 74 other hogs quartered there fought them. He said the week-end carryover in hogs was larger than usual. Mr. Marsh estimated the Armour Co.

loss at $325 for the hogs and $500 for equipment in the yards. Mr. Marsh said the estimated its loss to the sheds at about $3,500. The railroad was to send a crew of workmen here today to start repairs on the pens and Mr. Marsh said Armour Co.

would be ready for business this morning, only lacking electricity for lighting. Mr. Marsh said he could give no reason for the start of the fire unless it was caused by a lighted cigarette or burning match. The 74 uninjured hogs were removed by truck and sent to nearby markets.

Deposed General to Appear Before Congress; Republicans Propose Check of Administration Policies. WELCOME AWAITS MACARTHUR Washington, April 16 Senate Republicans unanimously endorsed today a proposal for a sweeping congressional investigation of Truman administration foreign and military policies.

Chairman Millikin of Colorado said 33 Republican senators agreed in a closed conference to back a resolution to be drafted by the party policy committee, which probably will propose a two-house inquiry. At the same time, the Republicans expressed that Gen. Douglas MacArthur will te permitted to address a joint meeting of Congress Thursday. MacArthur advised the Senate Armed Services Committee today he would be available to appear before it at any time after he has addressed Congress. Chairman Russell Ga.) sent the five star general an invitation last week to give the committee his views on what should be military policy in the Far East.

The Senate and House Foreign Relations Committee discussed extending invitations of their own, or at least trying to join the Armed Services group. But Ferguson said he felt an inquiry should be made by a congressional group with broader authority than is held by any of the regular committees. Ferguson suggested a type of investigation, referring to the Senate-House Committee Vice President Barkley once headed to look into the Hawaiian Island disaster which plunged this country into WTorla War II. Flying home for a series of welcomes in San Francisco, Washington and New York, MacArthur is expected to tell a joint meeting of the House and Senate on Thursday his ideas as he put it about how to defeat Communism in Asia.

Truman fired MacArthur early last Wednesday because, he said, the general wras to give his wholehearted to the policies being followed by this country and the United Nations in the Korean war.
