Craig Says Slate To Be Reimbursed $710,000 Advance Will Be Returned INDIANAPOLIS (INS) -i The office of Governor George N. Craig announced today that Indiana will be reimbursed for $710,000 spent for construction engineering costs on federal-state roads in 1954. The governor himself is in Washington, D.C., today. The announcement estimated that $382,000 of the $710,000 will be returned this year, $258,000 in 1956, and $70,000 in 1957. Gov. Craig declared that this is the first time in Indiana history construction engineering costs have been reimbursed, and promised: “In the coming months I am confident the other costs involving preliminary engineering and right-of-way acquisition will also prove to be the basis for the reimbursement of additional large sums of money. Every cent received by this procedure will be used promptly to expand and Improve Indiana's highway system.” A recommendation that Indirfha secure the matching funds available for engineering costs on fed-eral-state road projects was made by a group of efficiency experts who are now surveying Indiana government. Dr. Robert Kohne Is Owner Os Old Seeds Dr. Robert W. Kohne, a Lafayette physician and a son of Raymond B. Kohne of this city, has in his possession some centuries-old seeds which were hidden in the base of a Hindu idol. He received them from the late Dr. Richard Wetherill, a. Lafayette physician, who traveled extensively and collected statues as a hobby. Dr. Kohne plans to plant some of them himself and give the others to Purdue university and Michigan state college. 'Dr. Kohne stated that there were about 10 varieties of seeds and several tiny scrolls on something resembling rice paper. Neither has been identified by experts. It is possible that the seeds will not grow since they may have lost their power of germination. However, Dr. Kohne has had success in getting other old seeds to grow. About five years ago in Indianapolis he planted pea seeds found in King Tut’s tomb in Egypt and grew a strange looking flower, .different from domestic varieties i* .w W ** ’*** »**•■ Pleasant Mills Alumni Banquet, at School Gym, Saturky- May 7th, 7:30 P.
