Corps of Engineers office in Louisville, Ky., Col. Robert R. Wessels and his aid, Major Shewski, and other members of his staff.

Later this summer CWA will begin a series of contract negotiations that will set a pattern affecting the wages and benefits of nearly a million employes of telephone communications and related firms in the United States and Canada. The week-long convention also set important union policies in such areas as union growth and organizing, economic and foreign policy and other key matters.

Mayhall, Chairman of the Putnam County U. E. Savings Bonds Committee, has received a report revealing that the County’s Savings Bonds sales for May were $58,327 compared with $30,477 for the corresponding period of last year. The State's sales for May were $11,522,657 which is a gain of 18.4 per cent compared with last May.

ber of Indiana State University, who, as chairman of the Wabash River—Lake Navigation project study, made a very comprehensive report of the economic study the commission was preparing for future presentation as a project to open the Wabash River for low cost water transportation. George Murphey, Putnam County Work Unit conservationist with the Soil Conservation Department, presented a very detailed and interesting case history of both private and public lake developments that have either been completed or in the process of being built in Putnam County. This case history started with the completion of Cagle’s Mill Dam, the first Corps of Engineers Federal project in the Wabash Valley and ended with a concise description of the projects he had worked on covering many private lakes ranging from four acres to twenty-five acres, each which aided in the demand for more recreational facilities of fishing, swimming, boating and camping, by thousands of people desiring a clean, healthful atmosphere for themselves and families, in addition to conserving waterfall for much needed uses throughout the dry seasons. 7 Brownings Over Weekend Sy United Frau International Seven persons drowned in Indiana over the weekend as Hoosiers headed for the water by the thousands in an effort to escape an early summer heat wave.

WALL STREET CHaTtER NEW YORK UPI—Edward A. Viner A Co., Inc., feels that the technical condition of the market, specifically the contraction of volume in declines and expansion during upswings, indicates an oversold market. The company says a significant advance in prices can be expected once the basic strength of the economy regains the spotlight. On the long-term, the company believes that many of the factors which have plagued the market in past months, such as possible devaluation of the pound and fears of a tax increase, are being resolved favorably and it is likely that reinvestment demand will increase.

Bache A Co. says the current period of consolidation should run into early July when the anticipation of favorable second quarter earnings should provide an important stimulus for a substantial advance.

Newton D. Zinder of E. F. Hutton A Co. feels that the market, in the short-term, will be influenced to a large extent by the current speculation over a tax increase but nevertheless the trend appears to be pointed upward with selectivity as a key factor.

Cleveland Slums Scene Of Violence CLEVELAND UPI—The east side slums appeared calm today but evidence of four nights of violence remained. Nine persons were wounded by gunfire but police maintained only one shooting incident was “directly” connected with racial tension. Glass littered the hot, humid streets; scorch marks on pavement showed where Molotov cocktails had landed, and two buildings showed damage from flying fire bombs. Violence, which police said had been simmering for two weeks, first flared Wednesday night when several white boys beat a Negro boy. No arrests were made. Angry Negro youths later broke several store windows. In street fighting Thursday night, 10-year-old Steven Griffin, a Negro boy was shot and wounded by a passing white motorist. About 100 Negro men gathered Friday night at 87th and Superior Streets and were immediately surrounded by a police riot squad. Molotov cocktails were hurled into an intersection and a fire bomb damaged a supermarket roof. On the edge of the slum section five persons were wounded by gunfire but authorities said the incidents were not connected with racial trouble. A passing motorist shot and wounded Percy Welch, 40, in the same area where the Griffin boy was shot. Hundreds of Negroes milled through the area Saturday night, hurling rocks, bricks and fire bombs at police, newsmen and passersby. A grocery store was set on fire, causing an estimated $45,000 damage. Twelve persons were arrested, 10 for disturbing the peace. Two more persons were shot but neither was wounded seriously.

LETTER

EDITOR

Since many letters have appeared in the local newspaper concerning Dr. Stephens leaving Greencastle, I would like to add a few comments. If Dr. Stephens prefers to leave Greencastle, that’s his own business. This is still a free country. If he chooses to go where he won’t have to work so many hours, alright. But I think we should give some praise and I mean lots of praise and be very grateful for the doctors who are staying in Greencastle and who have taken care of the people in this community for many years before Stephens came, and who will be continuing the medical profession for their patients and those left by Dr. Stephens. The people of Greencastle and surrounding areas should be very grateful that we have been fortunate to have as many good doctors and surgeons as we have had in our own Putnam County hospital for all three years. We have three of the best surgeons in the state. All of our doctors work night and day to take care of their patients in and out af the hos-

pital.

As for the hospital, we should be grateful for it and the staff which operates it day and night. Any member of the staff will do everything possible to make a patient comfortable. Oh, yes there are people who will go to the hospital and make it difficult for the staff, and doctors and nurses and aids, or anyone who tries to make their stay at the hospital more comfortable. Yet the hospital has done what was prescribed by the doctor. Greencastle will have seven good doctora with the new doctor coming in July 1st and three good surgeons. For a city the size of Greencastle, this la good to have that many doctors. So let’s give a big Thanks and a lot of praise to our doctors who are staying with us. Cozetta Lear Tax Increase Open Question WASHINGTON UPI — Commerce Secretary John T. Connor believes it’s still “an open question” whether the Johnson administration will ask for a tax increase this year. Asked during a television interview Sunday about his recent prediction that there would be no tax increase unless there were wide-ranging changes in the economy, Connor said he still thought a tax hike unlikely this year. But, the secretary added, President Johnson has made it clear he will “take whatever fiscal measures are necessary if this situation looks as if it might get out of hand.”

Purdue Gets Gro LAFAYETTE UPI —Purdue University announced Friday it has received a $134,865 contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for research in rocket engine liquid fuels and oxidizers. Prof. Robert J. Schoenhals of Purdue said the two-year project will involve a study of what happens to rocket engine liquid fuels before they reach the combustion chamber. He said there is evidence that normal engine vibration can cause vapor to form prematurely in engine supply lines. Schoenhals said this can interfere with the steady delivery of fuel.

Pickets Post Office SHEBOYGAN, Wis. UPI — Donald Drunnbauer picketed the local post office Saturday to complain about the lack of mail deliveries to his home. He carried his mail box which in turn, carried a sign that read: “Post office unfair to this mail box.”
