D., Miss., to authorize $36,100,000 of new emergency pro- . jects in the lower Ohio basin as a result of recent floods. i Markham said that in making , the nation wide report his engi(ueers used as a cost “yardstick” actual construction costs against the federal government with local interests supplying the land, damage costs and rights-of way. He said that under the report a series of 45 reservoirs on Ohio ■ tributaries costing a total of $246.- | 000.000 was contemplated. The | ■ feedral government would put up $151,853,000 and local communities f the balance.

MONEY POLICY IS ADVOCATED Farm Bureau Leader Urges “Managed Currency” Policy Washington, June 8- - (U.R) —Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American farm bureau federation, today urged before the senate agriculture committee that congress adopt a "managed currency" policy to assure stable prices for all commodities. O’Neal read to the committee a statement adopted by the execuI tive committee of the federation. “Congress should establish as soon as possible a monetary authority and invest in this authority ample powers, including the repricing of gold and regulating the gold content of the dollar on a ■ basis of an index of basic commodity prices,” O’Neal said. “The wide fluctuations in the purchasing power of our dollar have been a major cause of the recurring periods of inflation and I deflation which have been so disi astrous to the entire nation. “The establishment and maini tenance of a medium of exchange with a stable purchasing and debt ' paying power is essential to the well being of every group in the nation. “The stabilization of the value i o$ our dollar should be made on ■ such a basis as will bring about : a proper equilibrium in our price ! structure and a fair relationship 'of community 'prices to the debt l structure. “We view with concern the 1 growing demands for reduction of ' the price of gold, an increase in (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) O Court House Heating System Is Defective Through an error it was repdrted in Monday’s edition of the Daily Democrat that because of defective pipes at the county jail, it would be necessary to renovate the heating system. This should have been at the county court house.

To save fuel costs the county commissioners are asking that a circulating system be purchased. AVIATRIX HITS POOR WEATHER Bad Weather May Delay Further Round The World Flight Dakar, Senegal, June B.—(U.R) — Amelia Earhart, American woman flier, flew here today from St. Louis and studied weather forecasts while mapping out her route across Africa on her round the world flight. A severe heat wave that extended from mid-Afdca to mid-Europe made fying conditions bad. especially over the eastern Sahara mountains where rising air currents made flying conditions even dangerous. Officials here believed she would wait a day or two before she decided whether to continue direct across Africa, via Fort Lamy, crossing the French Sahara and the Niger valley, to Khartoum in the Sudan, or follow the safer costal route along the Mediterranean, using French landing fields as far as Algiers. Mies Earhart landed at St. Louie at 12:35 p. m. CST yesterday after a 1,900 mile flight across the South Atlantic from Natal, Brazil, in 13 hours 22 minutes. ThougTi she is the third woman to fly the South Atlantic, she is the first to fly the more difficult west-to-east course.

Republic Steel Plans To Reopen Some Os Plants

TO SUE CITY FOR DAMAGES City Given Ix'gal Notice Os Damage Suits Following Deaths Legal notice was served on city ] officials today by Attorney S. C. ! Cleland of Fort Wayne that his clients "intend to hold the city of ■ Decatur liable for damages”, as : a result of the auto accident on April 17, when a ear driven by . Raymond Papenbrock crashed into the concrete base at the Erie , railroad crossing on Mercer ave- ! nue. Floyd Rison. 34, of Fog-t Wayne and Daniel OSliaughnessey, 26, Monroeville, died from injuries as a result of the wreck and Mrs. ] Catherine Rison, wife of Floyd I Rison and sister of O'Shaughnessey, received severe injuries. The notice reads that SIO,OOO ' damages are asked by the administrator, widow and daughter of Rison. Damages of SIO,OOO are also asked by the administrator and relatives of O’Shaughneaaey. ! Mrs. Rison asked $20,000 damages as a result of her injuries, including, “double compound frackies, and other lacerations, contures of both legs above the antusions and bruises and internal injuries.” , It was understood that the serving of the notices, made to Mayor A. R. Holthouse and City Clerk Ada Martin, was part of a suit to be brought against the Erie railroad company by the heirs and administrators of Rison and O’Shaughnessey and by Mrs. Rison. Rison was killed in the accident and O’Shaughnessey died of in- : juries on April 22. The signal lights wore erected Iby the Erie railroad in 1929. HARLOW ESTATE NEAR MILLION Strictly Private Services To Be Held For Screen Actress Hollywood, June B—(U.R8 —(U.R) —Jean Harlow’s friends estimated today that she had left a $1,01)0.000 estate, accumulated from her $3,000 to $5,000 weekly wages for playing the movie roles of a volutuary. The actress was dressed for her funeral today in white, which she usually wore on the screen «s best suited to her fair complexion and shapely figure. Her mother sent to the mortuary a gown of clinging straight lines. She asked that her daughter’s hair be brushed back from the forehead and puffed over the ears in the style most familiar to the millions that comprised her movie audiences throughout the world. The mother, Mrs. Jean Bello, insisted upon a strictly private funeral. None of the hurly-burly of Hollywood will be accommodated at the Wee Kirk of the Heather chapel where the last rites will be conducted Wednesday morning. The chapel seats only 200 persons. After the funeral, Miss Harlow’s body will go into a crypt at Forest Lawn Memorial park. Other past notables from the film colony lie there, including Rudolph Valentino, another star who died unexpectedly when he was the idolized star of the “jazz age.” To movie-goers, Miss Harlow personified the reckless abandon of the youthful element in the period that followed Valentino. She was 26 and had been a star since 1930, when she was first introduced as the "platinum blonde” queen. It was believed that Mrs. Bello would inherit the star's estate. The close companionship between Miss Harlow and her mother was considered one of the most stabilizing motives in the star’s life. In her youth, Mrs. Bello wanted to be an actress. She instilled (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) — o WEATHER Local thundershowers south portion tonight or Wednesday, partly cloudy to cloudy north with thundershowers northeast this afternoon or tonight; cooler extreme northwest tonight and central and northeast portions Wednesday.

W. O. C. declared in Detroit. •‘We've just started to fight. The S. W. O. C. has the assurance of support from every C. I. O. affiliate in Detroit and Toledo." Cleveland, June 8 —(U.R) —Local authorities today ordered the disarming of steel strike pickets in 1 Youngstown, center of the teeming Mahoning Valley steel producing district in which more than 30,000 mill hands are idle. This development coincided with preparations by Republic Steel Corp., to reopen tomorrow its subsidiary Newton Steel Co., plant at Monroe, Mich., where 63 per cent of the workers voted in an election to return to work. Republic announced these results of another election held in Canton, 0., under auspices of the chamber of commerce; the chamber mailed out 6,405 ballots. It said 3,888 “genuine" ballots were returned and 2,516 ‘counterfeit.” Os those said to be “genuine," 3,633 were marked in favor of returning to work. 216 against and 39 were blank. Frank Purnell, president of I Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co., declared that company would re open plant? aronnd Youngstown "when the authorities give our returning workmen and their families full protection.” I Police Chief Carl Olson of Youngstown ordered pickets to cease carrying clubs or other weapons on penalty of arrest on charges of carrying dangerous j weapons. Sheriff Ralph Elser said the “time is close at hand when I may have to issue a similar order” throughout Mahoning county. He said that meantime he would cooperate with Olson in enforcing the order in Youngstown itself. Elser said he had seen several pickets carrying revolvers and that he had received many reports of families of non-strikers being threatened. “I will keep order in this county” if I have to swear in 10.000 deputies," Elser said. “We will not break this strike for the steel companies, but we will not allow (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) W.
