Rules Group Refuses War Bond Ad Spending Bill
Washington May 11 UP The house rules committee refused to approve legislation for paid newspaper advertising of government war bond sales. Chairman Sabath said the committee voted the bill down but gave no margin. The measure would cap annual spending at 16 million dollars for weeklies and small-city dailies.

Doroth Louderback wed Sergeant Cooper after a rescue drive to the ceremony.
