Stale Police Make Lake County Probe Governor Rejects Added Conference INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Governor George N. Craig late Thursday announced that state police are making a thorough investigation of alleged Lake county crime and that findings wtU be announced publicly when the probe is completed.: v He added;. TV "At such time as we are advised, by properly constituted state investigating officers, of the facts, those portions of the report made which would pot impair prosecution of violators will be made public." The governor, however, rejected a proposal of the Gary crime commission tor an additional conference on the purported Calumet vice in peppery comment, as follows: "The state authorities are going to do all that they are capable of to aid law enforcement in Lake county. However, there is a local responsibility on the citizens and officials themselves to cooperate if the community is to rid itself of the leeching of vice." The governor pointed out that there ia a limit to the amount of state police manpower that can be allocated to any community for law enforcement, because there are only 400 state policemen. Craig said again that he does not know C. L. Marvin convicted Muncie gambler, who says he contributed 1200 to the governor’s 1952 campaign fund. But Marvin said: "The governor know* me all right., pent me a personalized Christmas card the year 1 kicked in with the check. I never got one from him before that, and I haven’t received one since. He also received a formal invitation and two ringside seats to the governor's inauguration.** Marvin’s contribution allegedly was made to John D. Lewis.

Jobless Pay Claims Increased In State INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The Indiana employment security division reported today that vacation and inventory layoffs last week raised the number of jobless insurance claims to 68.090, which was 3,700 over the week before and 45.600 more than the level of the corresponding week last year. The biggest rise in unemployment was at Evansville where an automotive plant shut down for a model change. Indianapolis Arson Suspect Is Sought Five Fires Set In Downtown Building INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Indianapolis police and firemen today sought a mysterious arsonist who set five fires in a near downtown industrial building, including two which broke out as officers were in the building investigating the three previous blazes. Capt. Hallie M. Shearer, of the Indianapolis fire prevention bureau, said today that the series of fire* in the Jackson building "definitely is arson.” The building houses a number of industries, including printing, window shade manufacturing and clothing production. To date, none of the fires has gotten a head start, and firemen were able to limit the damage to the immediate area where the fires were set est. But Capt. Shearer said the audacious arsonist set two fires Thursday, one on the morning and the other in the afternoon, at the time he and his assistant, Pvt. Bernard M. Many were in the building. Two police officers also were assigned to the investigation after the fourth fire. Capt. Shearer said that their probe has convinced him that all of the fires are the work of an arsonist, but he added: “All we don't know is who did it.” CLAIMS TO hi: allowed BY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Amr. 1«, Ib-VI —- HIGHWAV Frank Singleton S.ipt .... |l2s.<M' Walter Repport A Supt 118.80 Turn Johnson, do 118.80 Elmer Beer, da —, Si.Zti IjawrenCe Noll, do 118.»0 Husbert lech Clerk 101.90 Virgil Draper diesel 118.80 Roy E.
