All Activities Os Stale Fair Ended Fair Board Votes Down Any Activity Indianapolis, June 2—(UUP)—A mild stir -darted yesterday when the slate fair board decided to continue it* functions, at an estimated annual cost of >IO,OOO a year despite cessation of all fair activities, ended abruptly today when Governor Schrieker said the decision was strictly "the fair board's business."

Lirot. Gov. Charles M Dawson estimated continuation of the«e activities would cost around 110.000 annually. Governor Sohricker at that time suggested that since there were no duties either for the board or its staff a single liookkeeper might b® sufficient to handle the imard's work. The statement was Interpreted in some quarter* a* meaning he might take step* to prevent the spending of fair funds in this way. Today the governor indicated he would not interfere. "I should think the fair board i would lie well able to take care of Its own -busineMi." .he said. The fair grounds was taken over recently by the U 8. army air force command a* a supply depot and only the coliseum and a sm ill plot of ground remain available- for public use.
