Ground Broken For Huge Power Plant First Shovel-Full Turned By Governor MADISON, Ind., (OP) — Gov. Henry F. Sohricker ij turned the first shovet-full of dirt today in ceremonies starting construction of a steam-electric generating plant, one of the world's giants, to provide power for an atomic energy installation. It will general more electric energy in a year than was utilized in 1951 in the entire- state. Schricker and U. S, Sen. Homer E. jCapehart, R-Ind., headed a group of state officials at the ground-breaking ceremonies for the $175,000,000 plant. Its first unit is to be in operation Jan. 1, 1055, and the entire plant will be completed by June, 1858. Philip Shorn, president of the Indiana-Kentucky Electric Corp., which is constructing the plant, said if wMI generate 10,000,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually when coinpteted. In comparison, he said the entire state of Indiana used only 9,091,881,000 kilowatt hours in 1951. “The electric power we shall produce here 'will help make an important material—the most important matertai, in sact —involved in an atomic bomb,” Sporn said. 'I This plant and a smaller one at Cheshire. 0., both opl the north bank of the Ohio River, will provide power for the atomic energy commission’s diffusion plant now being constructed north of Portsmouth. O. If the day comes when the atomic energy diffusion plant is dosed, Pporn said, the power plant here will continue operating, providing electricity for Communities throughout Indiana and surrounding states. The plant is on an 800-acre tract downstream from Madison. It will have six turbo-generating units when completed and employ about 3,000 persons* Electric power generated at the plants here and iri Ohio will be delivered to the AEC project at 330,000 volts, equaling the highest voltage now planned anywhere in the U. S. The electricity then is used as. a power in separating two components of natural uranium so that one of them, uranum 235, becomes available in greater concentration than found in the natural state. The uranium 235 component 4 is a fissionaihl ematerial, the “heart” of the atomic bomb. ' Correct Story Ohl Claims Disallowed Two Adams Circuit court claims were not disallowed by the board of county commissioners this week as stated in Thursday’s Daily Democrat, according to county auditor Thurman Drew. Drew explained that the claims had been withdrawn prior to the allowing of claims. \ | i {All three claims had originally been filed and were published in the “claims filed legal.” Then, following a conference jvith a representative of the state board of accounts, it was discovered that only the claim filed by Judge Myles F. Parrish for $540 was allowable personally. Other charges made in connection with venued cases are collected and placed in the general fund. Judge Parrish also asked that his claim be withdrawn, because he did not feel that he should draw the money, if court attaches were not permitted to do so under the statute.

Adlai, Truman Talk On .Party Strategy Mitchell Stays As National Chairmen WASHINGTON, UP —President Truman and Gov. Adlal E. Stevenson agreed that Democrats should refrain from needling the Eisenhower administration until it Is comfortably settled in office. • That much of the party strategy which ;they worked out during two days of White House talks was disclosed in .public statements from both top Democrats. They also agreed that Stephen A. Mitchell, the political amateur picked by Stevenson to run his campaign, shquld remain as chairman of the Democratic national committee. What else they decided was their own secret as Stevenson wound up his brief visit to the executive mansion he had hoped to live in for the next four years. Social highlight of the visit was the glittering “farewell dinner” which Mr. and Mrs. Truman gave Thursday night for thq cabinet. Stevenson and other distinguished guests. Stevenson planned to leave the White House today, .but was undecided whether to return'’’direct to Springfield. 111., or reiradn in the capital another night.as house guest of air forcb {secretary Thomas K. Finletter. \ At separate news conferences Thursday, both Mr. Truman apd Stevenson emphasized that Democrats should give the Eisenhower administration a fair chance to show what it can do. Mr. Truman told reporters he will be just as happy as anybody else if the Republicans do a good job .in control of the government. But he added that if they make any mistakes, the Democrats will certainly point them out. * Mr. Truman’s remark that everyone should give Eisenhower a chance to operate before criticizing his administration may have been intended, in part, as a shot at the President’s old foe. Sen: Robert A..Taft. The remark came only a moment after a reporter had asked Tonight, Sat & Sun. Continuous Sat. A Sun.

County Surveyor Work Important To Public

■. Off in the southwest corner of the main corridor of the coiinty courthouse resides a very important person in the lives of the farmers in Adams county—and indirectly important in the lives of bigelt,y folks as well. He is the county* surveyor, Herman Moellering. \ ' Moellering holds forth in his little stuck away office while few people, strange to say, have any concept of the job this man does. Here it is: [• j ij J Moellering contributes to the well being and economy of Adams County people through a convenience all have come to take for granted, the ditch, the dip in each side of the road, any road, that takes unwanted water off the land and jenders it workable. Without the ditch, suffice to slay, land would sour and erode; tractors could do no work; farmers could not seed their land; crop quality would drop—if indeed there Were any crop at all. The main job of the surveyor, therefore, is to see that ditches are kept clean and free and permitted to do their giving work unhindered. He does this with the help of the farmer. The farmer notices his ditch be» ginning to weed up; or the vines begin to work into tiles and roots obstruct the normal flow' of waste and water. Since a ditch serves Mr. Truman whether he agreed with Taft that Eisenhower made a mistake appointing Martin P. Durkin as secretary of labor. V Mr. Truman replied that 'he had no comment on that, hut then addl’d that he considered Diirkin a very fine gentleman. ' Two AWOL Soldiers Taken Into Custody > Two youtnful soldiers are being held for army MP’s at the Adams county jail, awaiting removal to Camp Breckenridge, Ky., where they will be charged with being A.W.O.L. { Pvt. Dan Blankney, 18, of Akron, O. t and Pvt.' Ralph Ditrick, 18, of Jefferson, were spotted this morning' by city police walking the Streets. Suspicion was aroused when the two soldiers failed to' get as though they were on a pass or leave. They were asked sot their leave papers, which they could not produce, and they were arrested. ( ■' The soldiers said they were on their way to Akron, 0., having walked off the army camp last night and hitchhiked this far. | EISENHOWER .>■- (Ci/atlaaed From P«*« O«»l ffom front line shelling.

more than one farmer, he gets together with his neighbors who are no doubt having the same problem. They sign a petition and turn their headaches over to the surveyor. And a headache it usually is! . - Moellering goes to work and — after some j monumental figuring—; affixes an assessment on each farmer concerned in keeping with the beaefft he derives from the ditch in question. In due course the county equipment is set into play and the ditch is once more free to serVe the farmer and the urban businessman alike. Thus far; this year, Moellering l reports he and his crew have operated on 10 different ditches over ; widely scattered localities within the county —affecting some 500 fanners. At present the surveyor is hard at work on the Arthur Julow drain in Root township, affecting { some *ls farmers and their families. So, ditches are not only things in w-hich cars skid into and accii dent victims roll over their cars ih. They very definitely play an important part in everybody’s life, city and ratal. The lowly ditch and its overseer, the surveyor, deserve more respect for the job each is doing. manders,. including his old friend, Gen. Mark W. Clark, the U. \N, commander, in chief and Gen. James A. Van Fleet, eighth army commander; He also conferred at length with South Korean President Syngman ■ ”.
