PETITIONS FOR (Conti wed From Pane Owe) ; plain, further, that the letter didn’t mean the city had to put up signs to the effect but could let things stay as they are and permit parking on the remainder of the block though technically the state forbids doing so. Councilman Al Beavers brought ! up the point in this connection as I to what would be the case when Un accident occurred in that part of the block that Was officially banned but not enforced. No further dist cussioU w«ks held, however, and the letter was made a matter of record. A petition was received asking for a lateral sewer connection to the new sewer trunk in thef vicinity of Eleventh, Twelth and Sfeibers streets? This petition was headed by Elsie Marie DeLong. and subscribed to by 12 other persons in the neighborhood. It was referred to the street and sewer committee in conjunction wit* the city engineer: Agreements were signed last night liy the city and (1) Adolph Kolter and Arthur I). Suttles. Jr., for a rural line power extension in Washington township; and (2) Thoma; E. ,Ulman and Mary Alice Ulman for the same purpose. Local attorney Charles Whitted appeared, presenting a petition headed by Oran L. Schultz that reque*t& he city to blacktop a quarter of mile length of road Bollman street entended from U. S. highway 27 to the south corporation limits of the city. This portion is actually part of another petition that requested some blacktopping by the same petitioners just out of the corporation limits, for which a petition was entered Monday with the couity commissioners who delayed action until Decatur ;could act on the part that falls within its jurisdiction. The petition was referred to the street and sewer committee and the city engineer. SENATE PASSES (Continued From Page One) ov»>- th'! outer Continental Shelf.

May Suspend Work On Atom Aircraft Economy Drive May Hi) Atom Projects WASHINGTON Vu/X The' defense department has about de cidetj to suspend work on atomic aircraft as well as atom-ipowereid carriers, it was disclosed today. jAn official announcement both the A-plane and the A-carrkr are out for the time being may be forthcoming ikter in the day., The United Press first reported April 10 that further work on the carrier might be Indefinitely postponed for economy reasons. Official sources confirmed today that the economy drive also is expected to hit the plah-e project. 'Deputy defense# secretary Roger <M. Kyes suggest to the housesenate atomic ehrgy committee last week that a delay on the two ■projects now' can be more than made up later if private enterprise is given a 'greater role in atomic power development. A move to amendl the atomic energy act to permit that is now in the 'works. A decision pot to go ahead and .build the atomic plane and carrier now will affect design and development contracts iljetween the atomic energy commission and the Westinghouse Electric Corp, and General Electric, Westinghouse, which built the atomic submarine engine now being tested in tptototyfr? from in Idaho, i also has ijeen working on an atomic engine for the carrier. The Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Co r forking under subcontract, has 'been working on design of the carrier itself. General Electric has been developing an aircraft engine for which (|pnsoiidated Vultee was to design the “air frame.” Pratt & Whitney also has (been engaged in an atomic aircraft engin e project. All these , concerns, however, have merely working for the government instead of pushing atomic powr projects on their otwn. K the atomic energy act is amended in a sufficiently broad way. presumably private firms could launch ihto construction of atomic tpower plants, on the same l>asis that other private companies, now build tanks and aircraft for the armed forces. How much Would be saved by suspending the work now in progress, on iwhich several millions have ibeen spent, is bard to estimate. Congressional sources said abandonment of the atomic aircraft carrier would save 5250,000,000 in nuclear engine work alone. An executive departnwent source estimated this saving, however, at 5100,000,000. ■ \ The carrier itself, a 60-000-ton “super” craft of th e Forrestal class, might cost as much as $600,000,000 altogether, counting engine and equipment.

Indo-China Important To The Free World

• EDITOR’S NOTE: The Communist Invasion of Laos has caused grave concern to American officials and has sent many private citizens in search of an atlas to find out more about the new Far Eastern trouble spot. The following dispatch tells why and the other states of Indo-China are important to the f|ee world, and gfves some of the background of the present crisis.) By WILLIAM GALBRAITH United Press Staff Co respondent WASHINGTON UP--? Indo-China is important because it is the gateway, to Thailand, Burma and'-aRo? southeast .Asia, a regie it duce s SO per cent of the free world's natural rubber and haj# of its tin. American officials it would 'be a serious blow io the free world if that big supply* of strategic materials shq rid fall into Communist hands and the 27,003,000 people of the regipH were forced into the Soviet orbit. Indo-China consists of three independent states of VieMNam, Cambodia. and They were French protectorates ibut since'the end oi World War II they wti^ ; almost full control of their infcffeal affairs. Their foreign relation#, however, are still coordinated with those of France and other meniihers of the French Union. ffl The three Indo-Chinese states are located on the Asiatic mainland just south of China and are 'bounded (by the South- Chinamen on the east, the Gulf of Siam on bhe southwest and- jgul Burma on the west.
