Nuys and other dissenters at the earliest moment and then present a united front. Names gradually are being mentioned tor Van Nuys' senate seat Ona which has come to the fore recently is Edward Stein, Bloom field, speaker of the house In the last three legislative sessions and generally considered the most formidable candidate to succeed Townsend in 1940. Another Is Glenn Griswold. Pent, fifth district congressman. Should Van Nuys snub the editorial association and ihdtrectly the state administration, it Is regarded as certain that a Townsend man will oppose him in the state convention unless he withdraws from the contest. Under the rule of succession, Dean Barnhart, Goshen, la ached tiled to replace Scott Chambers. New Castle, as the Democratic Edi torial association president. Jack bolan, Hartford City, will become first vice-president; George Crittenberger. Anderson, second vicepresident; E. C. Gorrell, Wlnfmac. third vice president; Paul Feltus, Bloomington, secretary; and Frank G. Thompson. Bluffton, floor leader of the house during the recent legislature, treasurer. o MAY END COURT -fcnNTiyyai’ from page otrE) hearings can be brought to an orderly conclusion in a week or ten days, depending on developments." • Should the committee conclude the hearings late next week or shortly thereafter, the court bill would go before the committee in executive session to be debated in preparation for a report to the senate. The committee is about evenly divided on making a favorable report on the bill, with both sides claiming a narrow margin. “At least two or three weeks would be required after conclusion of public hearings before a decision could be reached by the committee on reporting the bill." Sen Frederick Steiwer, R., Ore., said. Dean Ignatius M. Wilkinson of Fordham University law school testified before the committee today in opposition to the court hill. He said that it was of "doubtful constitutionality" and would injure every court in America. Wilkinson cited four points in opposition to the bill: That addition of justices is unnecessary to enable the court to keep up with its work. The plan will tend to undermine the independence of all courts The precedent may be used in the future to subvert the rights of the individual and the protection of minorities The plan as proposed is not wholly free from doubt as to its constitutionality CITY ACCEPTS .(CONTINUED FROM .AOF ovri safety held its regular meeting following the council meeting last evening. The donating of the electric current in the offices and work rooms of the WPA sanitation and sewing work projects in the city was ordered by the board. The adjusting of charges on a horsepower basis on fire pumps at the city plant, for which the water department paid, was ordered by the board. Instead of the monthly minimum hp. charged, all electric current will be placed on a total meter basis. The board recommended the installation of 600 feet of six inch water main, beginning on Vine street, south to Bolman street and east to Russell street. This will eliminate a deadend and tie in with the Homestead line and improve the service. The installation of a four-inch line from the east end of Mcßarnes street to Grant, tielng-in with the existing line was also recommend

Motors strike settlement. The strategy board appeared well satisfied with the agreement's terms, a union official said "We got what we came for,” its members reported The Chrysler agreement, characterized as “satisfactory" by leaders of both sides, will remain effective until March 31. 1938. During that period, the union agreed to ban sit-down or other strikes by its members. Supplmentary conferences Itetween company ami union repre-

1 sciitatltes will begin tomorrow on , union demands not covered by the : agreement, including seniority i rights, establishment of grievance committees, and improvement of ’ general working conditions. "Now it is up Io all concerned to be fair in their efforts to make this settlement work," Chrysler declared in a formal statement. Sit-down strikes have occurred ■ frequently since the union signed a similar agreement ending the 11-day General Motors strike. It was believed that Lewis had given Chrysler his assurance that the union would do all in its power to prevent similar demonstrations in Chrysler plants. "It will be the purpose of the union and its members," Lewis said, "to carry out punctiliously the terms of the agreement witli Mr Chrysler and make it eminently successful.” Two sit-down demonstrations in General Motors plants, described by the union as "unauthorized," were settled last night a few hours after they began. A dispute over wage scales led to a sit-down of 400 employes of the Chevrolet gear plant in Saginaw. making 1.2(h) employes Idle. Two strikers vacated the plant six hours later when Robert Travis, IT. A. W. organizer, announced that the management had agreed to adjust wages so thal they would be comparable to those in other General Motors plants. A minimum of 75 cents an hour was established A sit down of about 10 of the 300 workers employed on the night shift in the Oldsmobile factory in Lansing forced the plant to close j temporarily and also caused suspension of operalions in the ad joining Fisher body plant. Union shop stewards quickly persuaded the strikers to return to work. Company officials said no demands were made upon them. • o Fort Wayne Worker Crushed To Death Fort Wayne, Ind . Apr. 7. -tfU.R) Melvin E. Paj-ker, 31, was crushed to death beneath a steel beam at the International Harvester plant late yesterday.

MANY HOMELESS IN MANILA FIRE Philippine City Swept By Fire, 20,000 Are Homeless Manila, P. 1., Apr. 7.--<U.R>- Fit® swept unabated in the Tondo section of Manila tonight after razing more than 30 blocks of flimsy tenement residences and leaving an estimated 20,000 persons homeless. It was estimated that the damage would exceed $1,000,000. A heavy wind, combined with] the tact that the Philippines are in ' the midst of the dry season, caus-| ed the flames to spread so rapidly • that it was feared some of the occupants of the houses were trapped. All the fire fighting equipment in the Manila area was summoned to the scene and when it proved inadequate, the equipment of the United States army forces was called into use. Firemen were handicapped by the lack of water pressure. Many merchants in downtown sections hurriedly removed their w-ares to places of safety, but it was not believed that the downtown area was endangered. The Tondo slums district, where the fire was centered consisted mostly of wooden tenements, shacks and warehouses. Mayor Juan Posadas said he believed the fire was the worst in the history of Manila. o trade tn a Good Town — Decatur

AN INSTITUTION IN DECATUR The familiar ova! which your Ford dealer displays is ♦he symbol of an institution . . . the Ford Motor Company. Your Ford dealer acts as "contact man" between you, the public, and the world-famed Company at Dearborn. His job is to be literally "at your service." If you have not yet inspected the New Ford for 1937 (with a choice of 85-horsepower and 60-horse-power V-8 cylinder engines), you are invited to see this modern, quality car in the low-price field at our "showroom."

* Ford’s New Brakes Are Powerful ifl—irr ti E' jAkR TO DEMONSTRATE the new Ford easy action safety brakes, Ford dealers in the Indianapolis branch territory are using a 35° ramp, as shown above. This is equivalent to a 70% grade, which is steep, yet the new Ford brakes hold safely at this extreme angle for they are selfenergizing, the forward motion of the car helping to stop the car, thereby requiring approximately one-third less brake pedal pressure. The V-8 car on the ramp is being held in position by the hand brakes, which, like the service brakes, operate on all four wheels. All Ford V-8 cars and commercial units are equipped with these new brakes which have "the safety of steel from pedal to wheel.”

while in a garage across the street other members of their union, a CIO affiliate, met to outline strike strategy. Three thousand pickets were ordered to surround the plant on the outside. The company employs approximately 11.500 men and has a daily payroll of $77,0000.
