State High Court Reverses Judgment Ruling'ls Issued By Supreme Court INDIANAPOLIS. (VP) — The Indiana supreme court today ruled that Marion circuit judge Lloyd D. Claycombe had no right to permanently tie the hands of the state utility rate-making commission in the Indiana Bell Telephone company case. The coure, In an opinion written by Judge Dan Flanagan, reversed the judgment in which Claycombe granted Bell a permanent injunction and permitted Bell to raise rates for 600,000 subscribers by about $7,000,000 a year. The ruling, however, did not ■wipe out the increases Claycombe gave the state's largest telephone utility. It let stand the temporary injunction Claycombe granted in

1951 which nullified the Indiana public service commission’s 7 action in granting Bell only a fraction of its request. Claycombe’s second rate increase judgment was considered by the high court as “a part of the extension of powers in the temporary injunction.” The ruling returned the case to the P9C with instructions to “consider the new evidence and fix proper rates.” Presumably, the PSC could wipe out the Claycombe orders with a new and lower retroactive rate schedule which would force Bell to refund money collected under the lower court’s decison. However, a drastic cut in the rate by the PSC would open the doors for Bell to ask a lower court for another temporary injunction and thus keep the issue unsettled. I “We have no doubt that the PSC will do its part,” the high court said. Bell originally asked higher

rates more than two years ago and when a portion of the request was granted thib utility asked Claycombe to set aside the PSC order as “unreasonable." The high court said Claycombe had the right to set rates on a temporary injunction because a judicial question was involved in “the case of actions confiscatory to ’property.” It said the privilege to “interfere” includes “the duty to make sure such interference is the very minimum necessary to judicial protection of the rights of the people.” Albert Ineichen Has Leg Brokeft Albert Ineichen, 60, of Geneva, was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital this morning with a broken Iteg suffered while at work at the Krick-Tyndall plant here and a 50 to 75-pound chunk of clay fell off a railroad car passing by. \

Bricker Predicts Amendment Okay Cut Treaty-Making Power Os President WASHIkGTON, UP—Sen. John W. Bricker predicted today the senate will approve his constitutional amendment limiting the President’s treaty-making' power before the current sessions ends. The Ohio Republican also said he hopes the proposal will at least get part way through the house legislative mill this year. The senate judiciary committee Thursday approved the propbeal 8-4 despite strenuous opposition of the Eisenhower administration. The controversial measure gives congress power to “regulate all executive and other _ agreements with any foreign power or international organization.” Primarily aimed at covenants

worked out in United Nations or-1 ganizations, the proposed amend-1 ment would prevent any treaty from changing domestic law within the United States without a specific go-ahead from congress. Despite strong backing for the bill among senators in both parties, opponents promised, to fight it all the way on the floor. Sen. Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn., one of four judiciary committee members who opposed the proposal. said “a number of us are working on a minority report which will point out in detail how this proposal adversely affects out foreign relations.” Bricker pointed out tnat 62 senators originally Signed as sponsors of his amendment. The measure needs the two-thirds approval of both houses before it can be sub-, mitted to the staites for ratification. The first national soldier’s home was established in Dayton, Ohio, March 21, 1866. i '

Two Os Escapees Believed Drowned Two Others Elude - State Police Block UARNEY, Mich., UP —A stolen car believed driven by four Marquette jstate prison escapees crashed through a state 'police barricade early today and fell off a bridge the Menominee river. Two, of the occupants were feared drowned, but two others fled on foot into the dense Upper Michigan woods. i Police saw two men climb from the river and run into the dense woods, but they saw no trace of the other two men after the car dropped into the river. They began dragging the river with grappling hooks. State Police Capt Thor Person, in charge of the manhunt since the convicts broke out of prison two weeks ago today, immediately redeployed his men. and called on Wisconsin authorities to join the search. The car broke through a blockade at Nathan, Mich., six miles of here and only four miles from the Wisconsin border. The location is 35 miles southwest of the Escanaba area where state police had been trying to draw a net around the escapees for the past four days. The car was unoccupied when a wrecker hauled it out of the water. A loaded 30-30 deer rifle, three ■ prison jackets, a prison cap, a prison razor and a book of matches from a recently-burglarized tavern near Marquette were found inside. Person said the 30-30 rifle indicates the convicts probably have stolen guns since they, and three others since recaptured, overpowered two guards with knives May 22 and cut their way out of a cellblock With a blowtorch.
