Confirmation coming tomorrow.” George Putnam, Miss Earhart's i husband, said that he did not know Huxford. He placed no credence in the message. Coast guard and navy officials doubted its authenticity. Some said that it might bo the prediction of a fortune teller. I Five radio amateurs reported that they heard rippling signals i this morning on the wave length : assigned to Miss Earhart's plane. . They said the signals—on a carrier wave — sounded as if they I were powered by a motor generator. Two of the amateurs were Honolulu men, two were in Los Angeles, and one was in Whittier, Calif. The airplane carrier Lexington, with 60 planes aboard plowing at top speed, was due at Pearl Harbor tomorrow morning for refueling. Then the big ship will head for the South Pacific.

Still loyal to her husband despite his alleged confession to v’e triple slayings of three small girls near Inglewood, Cal., Mrs. Isabel Dyer was pros-

against the social and economic i philosophy of the national adminI istration,” he said. "As a result, the people, the president, and the j congress, were powerless to act. “Then it was that President Roosevelt adopted the same kind . of straightforward, courageous tactics which had been employed by I his illustrious predecessors in of lice, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. He challenged the moral ' and legal right of five aged justices ’ to hobble the political life of the ) nation simply because they dislik- ! ed the policies and the program of ■ the party in power. "What has happened? Since ; then, the United States Supreme ] Court itself has proceeded to demj onstrate that President Roosevelt was completely and absolutely right.” In debate yesterday the court was charged with "usurping the rights of the people” and with seiz- | ing to itself powers to legislate and define policy which the consti- ! tution vested solely in congress.

J o LABOR TROUBLE fCONTINI'EriI .r_ A .9FI strike situation is this: Next year' , most of the public officials in the | . state are up for election —one U. | S. senator, all the congressmen,' r half the state senate, all of the i state house of representatives, the i , secretary of state, state treasurer,' , state auditor, and possibly most - impoi taut, the mayors of all Indi- ! t ana cities. r Every public official up for re- 1 1 election who has had anything to, t do with labor trouble will be ac- > ; countable on that issue to the vot- . ers next year. Since the vast ; majority of Indiana public officials t . are Democratic, possibilities for a huge protest vote against existing labor conditions are tremendous. Thus far the Republican learfer- ; ship in the state has failed to take ; advantage of this situation due to ■! lack of harmony in the party i organization and possibly because I ■ Ivan Morgan, state G. O. P. chair-' ■ man, has had a strike in his own I plant at Austin. But unless the ■ lalMtr situation quiets down, the! party will have no choice but to make it the principal issue in the i : 1938 campaign. Such is political opinion here. And many believe that the strikes already have laid in Repub- ■ lican laps votes which the party could not have obtained even I : were its finances and organization in good order. For example, the Lake county steel workers who voted Democratic last fall and : who have been kept from their jobs by tho strike. The Democrats in this situation must turn to their leadership. President Roosevelt to some ex- . tent, but more particularly to Governor Townsend. He heads the potent state organization, now at its crest in patronage and finance. Townsend has been known as a

' coast guard cutter Itasca which was assigned tc the rescue expedition when Mrs. Putnam s radio distress signal revealed her plight and that of Frederick Noonan, her navigator. ' - i

’ friend of labor. The last legislature passed more lalior legisla- ! tion than any in Indiana's history, i Included were the full crew bill. ; creation of the state department I ; of labor, the occupational diseases ' act, revisions in the unemploy-1 ' ment compensation act and others designed to improve working conditions. Yet the governor in the last few months has shifted to a middle 1 ' course. He has rejected numeri ous appeals for the national guard. ! Under ills guidance his labor de I partment has conciliated strikes i almost as fast as they started. He , I lias tried to lie fair to employers I and workers alike. And he aci complished a peaceful settlement ; of the Inland Steel company strike 1 to return 12.500 men to their jobs, regarded originally in a hopeless ' light. Upon what Townsend and his administration is able to accomplish to calm the labor situation between now and the next campaign rest the Democratic party’s ' hopes for continued power, from the statehouse down to the villages. His advisors are aware of I it and are encouraging the most i tactful handling. o COUNTY BOARD I l.Mltin FROM ONE) Berne was submitted at $173.05.

SUE TO HALT GAS STATION Decatur Couple Named In Suit On File At BlutYton Bluffton, July 7.—Mr. and Mrs. Harry A. McFarren, of 505 South Main street have filed tn circuit court a suit for a restraining order and an Injunction against Edward D. Engeler and wife of Decatur, | the Gulf Refining company, and Victor Bogley to prevent construction of a new gasoline’ filling station on the site of the old Fading ; property on the northeast corner of Main street and Central avenue.

The council later j denied the permit. in the suit for restraining order and injunction, the plaintiffs set out that for more than 18 years they have owned a home at Marlon street and Central avenue, having selected that site in order to enjoy the peace and quietude of a residence neighborhood. They also set out other complaints regarding the harm it will do them as well as others. As the case was filed during I vacation and while Judge John F. Decker was out of the city, Dwight Gallivan, judge pro tern, noted the djing of the suit and issued summons to Edward D. .Engeler and wife to Adams county returnable on September 13, 1937.
