London Awakes To Aftermath Os Coronation Post-Coronation Festivities Last Most Os Summer LONDON UP — Queen Elizabeth II drives through the Cockney district of northeast London today to begin a whirl of post-coro-nation festivities lasting most of - the jsumnier. Tl?e great event was over and Lindon awoke-with many, a hang-over-to a dismal rainy “day after’’ following its gayest night since the World War H victory celebration. I j The decorations along the rout.? of Tuesday's magnificent procession were limp, the streets were littered with debris and 233 persons were in hospitals from coronation day accidents. 1 Blit for Elizabeth it was just the •beginning. ' y 1 She holds a great state banquet \ tonight in Buckingham Palace. In the next two weeks she will go to the Dertby, a gala .opera at Coyent Garden, a “trooping of thecoldrs” at the Spithead naval review an-1 the Royal Ascot race meeting. She will then go to Edinburgh for a .“second coronation” in Scotland. The newly crowned queen stayed up late Tuesday nighty She was called, out tri the palacfe 'balcony six times by a cheering crowd that blotted out the wideUexpanses around Victoria Memorial and : overflowed into th e Mall. Hundreds of thousands of cele brators packed the Thames embankment to watch a fireworks display-that cost an estimated $45,l>oo. Celebrities danced until 4:30 a.m. at a gala "Elizabethan Fantasy’ ball. . Piccadilly Circus was a focal 1 point for revelers. One young man highlighted the Piccadilly celebration when he climbed into the golden cage around the statue of Eros and posed on the shoulder of the ‘ “God of Love.” A conga line formed at midnight with dozens of American soldiers joining in, 1 Cars trying to push through the crowd suffered a sad fate. At least a dpsen persons climbed on the roqdlpf one automobile and a party of young men lifted another clear off the ground. The ccupants were badly shaken. Scotland Yard reported 6.753 . casualties during the period of the coronation ceremony and the parade alone. iMost of them were suf- ! sering from exposure. The figure compared favorably with the total of 9,583 casualties suffered during the 1937 coronation of the late King George VI. Next to Elizabeth, the biggest -hit of Tuesday’s great show was Queen Salote of Tonga. The darkskinned amazon of six feet, thrde inches rode through constant drizzles in an open carriage. She wore a fight shortt-sleeved dress and waved furiously to the crowds. Her broad grin never left her face. •Police said not a single case of

Informed sources hoped that the South Korean; objections could be overcome.

S. determination to get an faonjorable armistice, w-ere understood to have been emphasized by President Eisenhower in messages to South Korean President Syngman Rhee. Op the other side of the picture officials said Rhee’s counter - bid for U.

Express Concern On Stand On Red China Fear Repercussion >• From Ike's Promise i i I 1 \■ i ■ r WASHINGTON, UP -- Some 1 congressmen privately expressed concern today over the possible repercussions of President Eisenhower’s promise to lead the fight against any move to admit Red China to the United Nations. ■ They thought it might somehow prompt the Communists to balk at accepting thie new U. N. truce plan when they return to the negotiating table in Korea Thursday. Diplomatic observers were not so worried, however. The Chinese Communists are generally expected to press for admission to the U. N. after an armistice* as part of a I political settlement and as a condition for withdrawing; its troops. But they have not made an issue of the demand in tjie truce talks? Republicans hailed the president’s pledge as boosting his prestige higher than ever. Democrats said he was merely endorsing a stand taken by both President Tguman and former of state Dean Acheson. Sen. William F. Knowlahd (RCalif.) insisted, how’ever, ithat Mr. Eisenhower went much farther than the previous administration when he promised not only to oppose but “toi take the lead’’ in opposing Red China s admission.

There would still be ample time to do any outside work next spring aijd summer up to completion date of August 1, 1954. The contracts carry penalty clauses of sso] and sls for each day the buildings and work ,reniain uncompleted after August 1, 1954. . ' ' V : The members of the Aidams Central school building corporation and the members of the Adams County Central consolidated school expressed their pleasure at the savings to of the $50,000. Said Lester Adler, president of the school hoard: “We will now have one of the largest, most modern, and beautiful school plants in Indiana—one of which bur community and the taxpayers will be proud—it will cause the sale of land within the school corporation limits to be enticing to buyers, and will gh e all our children the modern education facilities they so Iricbly deserve/’ The bond issue will be readvertised at this reduced figure of $350,000 in (today’s . Daily Democrat and will] be sold on June 24, at 1 p.m., central standard time at the Monroe office of the school corporation. The bonds will be printed .and delivered by the 15th of July, at which time Hugh Tate will start the preparation of the 1954 budget, at which time the 75 fund" will be dropped from the budget. This will immediately effect a savings of at least 35 cents in the tax rate per SIOO, and as the bond# will have a shorter period over which they mature and interest will be payable for a smaller amount than was anticipated, taxpayers will also profit from this angle. The last bonds are due January 1, 1972, yet they are callable after 1960, and it is anticipated that the school board ipight exercise their optloif to purchase the two buildings sometime in the 1960’s when its own bonds lyould be reduced sufficiently for it, to issue its obligations at a lessor interest rate. If and* when shine is done, the common stock holders of the Adams -Central school building corporation would be paid off in full for non-

profit and non-interest bearing stock rather than be required to wait the full 20 year period. The early completion of the sour t building plant near Monroe , was made possible through agreement reached with the Adams County Freeholders, Inc., who waged a series of law shits with the Adams County Central consolidated school over a period of two years. All; terms of the agreement have been carried out by the school jcorporation and by the officers and members of the Adams County Freeholders, Inc., to the mutual satisfaction of all parties and for the benefit of the school children and taxpayers alike. \ -ft T” 1 > GROUP REFUSES (Continued From Paar Onr) insisted the bridget cuts Won’t reduce the number of “combat planes" the air force will get.
