Halle'! by administration spokesmen as a major victory In the new deal's far-flung drive for cheaper power the decision was regarded as a "go-ahead" signal for construction of 52 municipal power projects estimated to cost more than $80,000,000. which have been held up pending a final ruling on validity of the PWA loans and grants. The decision was delivered by Justice George Sutherland. A brief note attached to it stated that Justice Hugo L. Black “concurs in the result.” Sutherland’s opinion was based primal tly on the lack of power on the part of the two utilities which challenged the statute to bring their suit. fVThe ruling came when the su preme court affirmed circuit court of appeals decisions upholding the plogram in tire face of attacks by the Duke Power company and the Alabama Power company, both of which charged the entire PWA jftDgram. and the power loans and grants In particular, was illegal. ■The opinion pointed out that the municipalities In question had full power to construct the systems under state law.

SCHOOL WALLS ARETORNDOWNI First Os Central School Walls Are Fulled Dow n Today Thousands of pounds of falling brick, mortar and wood chashed this morning with resounding rumbles, marking the racing of the Central school building walls. First of the walls of the old school building, which being razed to make way for the construction of the new $250,000 junior senior high school, were pulled over by workmen of Yost Bros., contractors. The w-all on the south end of j the west side was the first to go. a \ chain, cable and company truck doing the work. The east wall on the south side, however, had to be pulled over with a block and tackle system, hitched to the truck. The south side was the next to go. Yost Bros, stated that the brick would be cleared away as the walls were torn down. Spores of spectators lined the sidewalks to watch the work Among these were Walter J. Krick, city school superintendent, and W. Guy Brown, high school principal and for at number of years principal at the building now being razed. Moving pictures of the razing were taken by James Ehinger and Louis Bleeke. of the Ravelings staff, high school annual publication.

Start New Building Construction on the new school j building will start tomorrow, with ; Schhmerer and Trnwmper. gen-rat! contractors, who were awarded the j general contract on a hid of 1 $157,975, doing the work. Since the PWA requires that ■ construction start on January 4,1 and the razing of the Central building has not been completed, only preliminary work will be done by the contractors. Several days are expected to he taken up with tearing down the walls and clearing away the debris, Yost Bros., stated today. All outside walls will be torn down, cleared away and then the inside walls pulled over. This is done to prevent, debris from falling inside the walls. o Decatur Residence Is Looted Saturday The Roy Lehman home on North j Fifth street was robbed Saturday | afternoon while the members of the family were away.

CITY TRAFFIC ; LAW IN EFFECT New Traffic Ordinances Are Well Accepted By Autoists Chief of Police Melehi reports a | fine spirit of cooperation among auto drivers In complying with the new city traffic ordinances. The one-hour parkng limit on 'Second and Monroe streets is beI lug observed, the police chief announced. and ear operators have demonstrated a helpful attitude in the enforcement of thtteregulatious. A little confusion has arisen on First and Third streets, but to the credit of auto owners. The temp-1 orary signs erected read, “No parking.” The auto driver takes for granted that no parking on either side of the street is permitted. Parking is forbidden only on the east of First and Third streets. The new signs which were ordered from Michigan City last w-eek read. “No parking on this side of street.” This notice will no doubt clear up the confuson and the car | operator will fee free in parking i on the west side of the street. Tickets will not be issued to violators of the traffic ordinance this week. A slip will be issued to those who violate, calling attention that the ordinance has been violated and asking that he give his cooperation in complying wth the law.

Roosevelt Asks Congress Anew For Enactment Os Hours-YVages Measure; Asks Cooperation. 1 NO BUDGET BALANCE Washington, Jail. 3 (U.R) ~ President Roosevelt today called on congress anew for enactment of wages-liours legislation and . asked the cooperation of all seg- - meats of the nation in achieving ; better economic balance. He said . a balance of Ihe budget for the next fiscal year will not lie attaiu- - ed and declared he will submit a ; special message later proposing | changes in laws affecting business. The president presented a terse i analysis of world conditions, em- ■ phasizing that perils of war make it necessary for the nation to main--1 tain its strength sufficiently high 1 for all purposes of self-defense. ■ Peace, he said, has been kept by the United States despite provocations “which in other days, be- ■ cause of their seriousness could well have engendered war." The president emphasized his determination to advance upon the same fundamentals of the new deal i which have hitherto been proposed. He called for prompt agree- . ment-i on a farm program—now in , conference between the house and . senate —and asked specifically that congress “keep the cost of its administration within the figure of . current government expenditures in aid of agrichulture." Mr. Roosevelt re-asserted his api proval of proposed changes in tax taws but laid down three essentials to be considered in revision of the present statutes. “Three things should be kept in miiiu," he said. “First the total sum to be derived by the fpderal . treasury must not be decreased as . a result of any changes in sched- . ules. Second, abuses by individuals or corporations designed to escape tax-paying by ÜBing various methods of doing business, corporate and otherwise — abuses which we have sought, with great success, to end—must not he restored. Third, we should rightly change certain provisions where they are proven to work definite hardship, especially on the small business men of the nation. “But speculative income should not he favored over earned income.” Speaking of his attitude toward the nation's business as a whole. Mr. Roosevelt declared: “The overwhelming majority of business men and bankers intend to be good citizens. Only a small minority have displayed poor citizenship by engaging in practices which are dishonest or definitely harmful to society. This statement is straightforward and true. "No person in any responsible place in the government of the United States has ever taken any position contrary to it.” Mr. Roosevelt declared that when attention was called to specific misuses of capital there lias been a deliberate purpose on the part of the condemned minority to distort the criticism into an attack on all capital. “That is a wilful deception but it (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO) LODGES HOLD ANNUAL PARTY K.
