EARHART HUNT DISCONTINUED AS HOPE WANES Seventy Planes To Enter Intensive Search Today Or Tuesday Honolulu, July 12 — (U.R) — I irtually all hope of finding Amelia Earhart and Frederick J. Noonan, her navigator, lost in the Pacific since July 2, today rested with the navy fliers and their 1 planes aboard the giant carrier Lexington. The big carrier, ploughing along at half speed to conserve fuel, Is expected to enter the search late ' i today or Tuesday. There was no | definite word, however, as to' ■ where the search, virtually abandoned as hopeless by the three fliers aboard the battleship Colorado, would start. There are about 70 planes and 300 fliers on the Lexington. It is estimated they can cover the enJ tire search area of approximately 1 360,000 square miles in three or 1 four days. If that fine combing of the waters around Howland Island 1 falls to produce a trace of the missing “round the world fliers it is presumed the navy will aban 1 don the hunt. Miss Earhart and Noonan were shooting for Howland Island on a ! long hop from Lae. New Guinea. 1 when they were lost. They were I in the vicinity of the tiny landing 1 station, just north of the equator, but messaged that with their fuel , running low they were unable to I sight it. The search for them and their big SBO,OOO plane first turned to { the area north of Howland Island. Radio messages and signals, which may not have been authentic, indicated they Were down in that region, but George Palmer Put- i uam. Miss Earhart's husband, con-1 vinced those directing the search that the area south of Howland , I I Island was the more likely spot to | find them.

The quality has also been lowered, Mr. Burk said. The first load of wheat, totaling . 85 bushels, was brought to the ele- . vator last Friday by W. H. Stults • of near the Union Chapel church. The field averaged 19 bushels to 1 the acre, which is considered good for this year. It was grown on high , ground, was planted early and cut early. It also was the highest yield , so far reported. This wheat tested 57 pounds to the bushel. A load of wheat brought into the elevator last week averaged 10 bushel to the acre and tested 49 ' pounds to the bushel for the lowest average yield so far reported. The 1 greatest damage was done to the late-planted wheat in low grounds. County Agent L. E. Archbold stat--1 ed last week that black stem rust was blown into Adams county too I late to cause much damage as it has done in western Indiana counties. where complete loss has been * reported in some cases. The rust setles first and does the ost damage in low ground- When the rust ’ attacks the wheat plants development is arrested, lowering the quality. The wheat here was fairly well ' matured before the rust arrived. 1 No oats have so far been report- ’' ed harvested. Oscar Werling of Jefferson township, Wells county, reported the first cutting of oats, I which he estimated by the weight ' of the bundles will make over 100 bushels to the acre.

OrVETOES INTEREST BILL — President Vetoes Bill Extending Low Interest Rate Washington, July 12 — (U.R) — President Roosevelt sent a special message to the house of representatives today vetoing a congressional bill to extend the three and one half per cent interest rate on federal landbank loans. The president expressed outspoken opposition to the measure. He listed these five chief reasons why the bill, which was designed to continue an emergency farm ' aid bill passed in 1933, should be | killed: I 1. “I believe that there is no I justification for continued government subsidy of federal land-bank interest rates below the unprecedented low rates these banks are now offering farm-borrowers on a I business basis.” 2. “The ability of farmers to pay interest at the rates provided for in their mortgages with the federal land-banks has been very substantially Improved . . . the gross farm income as estimated by the department of agriculture rose from $5,337,000,000 in 1932 to $9,530,000,000 in 1936.” 3. “The farm loans made by : the land bank commissioner on behalf of the federal farm mortgage 1 corporation bear an interest rate ;of five per cent per annum. In view of the circumstances under, 1 which these loans are made, it can- 1 I not Reasonably be said that a five , . per cent rate of interest is exces-, I sive.” 4. “The contemplated reduction in interest rates on commissioner 1 loans from five per cent to four | per cent under the bill would re- ! duce the annual income of the ■ federal farm mortgage corpora- ’ tion, which owns these loans, by an amount of approximately SB.i 350.000. No provision is made for ’ a corresponding reimbursement of, this sum by the treasury to the ‘ corporation.” 5. “The passage of this bill was not contemplated in the preparation of the budget for the fiscal 1 year 1938. As the congress is (CONTtNTTKD ON PAGE THREE) o Mrs. Davis Given Chance To Live The attending .physician, for the first time since July 4. when she was critically injured in an auto accident, today stated that he held hopes for the recovery of Mrs. J W. Davis, 70-year old Alexandria lady. Through fatally hurt, Mns. Davis has shown a slight improvement each day until she is thought to have a chance for life. For the past several days she has been confined in an oxygan tent .in a battle against pneumonia, resulting from complications of injuries. Ralph “Lefty” Braun, who was seriously injured on July 5 in an auto crash near Willshire, Ohio, was released from the Adams county memorial hospital this morning. His companion, Carl Sprunger, also injured in the crash, remained in the hospital. I

Carnival Is Closed After Reports Os “Crook” Games

Decatur's first carnival in re- > cent years made its exit Saturday night just as abruptly as was its entrance earlier in the week —leaving behind possibly a score of localites wiser, sadder and somewhat poorer, according to the police report today. Despite the precautions of local police and the sheriff’s department ' in warning all would-be "suckers,” ; art array of approximately 14 “flatjoints” or wheel games proved too j much temptation for a few small- ; time gamblers and some of the community's hard earned money I went into the coffers of the carnival, if the reports are true. Coming in against the advice and discouraging words of the i sheriff's office and local police, the ' carnival moved in last Tuesday night with but one day’s advertis- ' ing. j Under the constant watch of | local authorities the carnival em-

ployes were unable to work their so-called “you - win - every - time"’ game against the few localities willing to pass the 10-cent ticket gate. Evidently intent upon getting enough money to get out of town, on Saturday evening they were finally able to secrete a few of the community’s would be gamblers from the eyes of police. As a result one man reported a loss of $43 —one a loss of $5 —one of $lB and nearly a score more, ranging from $1 to $4. Several more were reported to have failed at the carnival man's own game, but did not want it reported to police. At 10:30 o’clock, with three "joints” already closed, State Patrolman Burl Johnson, Commissioner William Bell, Sheriff Dallas Brown, Deputy Leo Gilllg and a few more enforcers of the law told the boys to "pull stakes.”

Youngstown’s Plant At East Chicago Will Be Opened ;Townsend Says Troops Not Needed. WITHDRAW PICKETS Indianapolis, July 12. — (U.R) —JC. Argetsinger, vice president of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company, today telegraphed Gov. M. Clifford Townsend that Youngstown’s strike-bound East Chicago plant will be reopened tomorrow morning. Argetsinger asked the governor for "protection" for the employes. This information was received after Townsend said in his press conference today that Argetsinger “is like a baby who has been given a piece of candy and then cries because it isn’t the right flavor.” Earlier Townsend had dispatched a long telegram to Argetsinger In rebuttal to Youngstown's denial that any agreement had been reached between the company, the governor and the steel workers organizing committee for reopening the East Chicago plant. Argetsinger’s wire announcing I reopening of the plant said: “The j Youngstown Sheet and Tube com- ' pany will open its East Chicago plant for operations tomorrow I morning and we expect the state | of Indiana to afford proper protec- ' tion to our employes against violence and threats of violence by pickets.” To this Townsend replied by wire: “I am glad to learn that your ■ Indiana Harbor plant will open tomorrow. No need for state protection. All pickets are now withdrawn. Good luck.” Previous to announcement of the plant reopening, Townsend had elegraphed Argetsinger as fol- ■ lows: 1 "I have just finished reading your telegram of this date wherein you refer to the press reports concerning my action requesting the members of the steel workers organizing committee to return to work at your Indiana Harbor plant. May I suggest that you procure a complete copy of my letter addressed to the officials of the S. W. O. C. and that you read the same for yourself and I am sure you will immediately conclude that my interpretation of your memorandum was a very fair one. “Your communication addressed to me wherein your refer to the labor policy was not solicited nor was any request made to treat it as a confidential communication, but was a voluntary statement made by your company sefting forth its labor policy wherein it was stated it was for my information with the understanding that the information should not be construed as any agreement or contract with any person or organization. "However, it was a declaration of the labor policy of your company and a further statement that you were in full accord with the provisions of the national labor relations act so that it must have been the intention of your company in communicating this information to me as the chief executive of the state of Indiana to con- ’ vince me that it was your attitude ((CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) FORMER COUNTY RESIDENT DIES Mrs. Ella Owens Dies Saturday Evening At Fort Wayne Hospital : Mrs. Ella Crozier-Owens, a formi er resident of Adams county, died i Saturday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock i at the St. Joseph’s hospital in Fort Wayne.
