Pays For License Plate With Pennies feb. 28 Deadline For Auto Plates The auto license bureau took in 1,250 pennies the other day in payment of the fee for a license plate. Fortunately for those persons waiting in line, the pennies were previously wrapped and counted. Mrs. Dale Death, manager of the bureau, stated today that the waiting lines are growing each day as the Feb, 28 deadline for obtaining 1957 plates approaches. She advises all of the late-com-ers that the earlier they come into the office for their plates, the less waiting they will have to do. She predicts an extremely heavy rush during the last few days of the month. Mrs. Death reminded all persons that they could save themselves much time and waiting by bringing their applications for the right car and their tax receipts when they come to apply for the licenses. She stated that it is absolutely necessary to have the tax receipts. If car owners can no longer locate their 1956 tax re- • ceipts, duplicates may be obtained from the county treasurer in the court house. The office of the treasurer, auditor and assessor will remain open until 4 p. m. Saturday for the benefit of those persons who are unable to visit the offices on other days.

Early End To Longshoremen Strike Viewed A Negotiators And Mediators Foresee Early Strike End NEW YORK (UP)—Negotiators and federal mediators forecast today an early end to a two-day longshoremen’s strike that has crippled dock operations from Maine to Virginia. Spokesmen for the striking International Longshoremen’s Assn, (ind) and the New York Shipping Assn., agreed that only clarification of several minor issues stood in the way of a settlement of the strike that has tied up 150 ships, MIaK 45.000 longshoremen and stranded tons of cargo on piers and in ship’s holds. The disputants, who met separately With federal mediators. Wednesday, were scheduled to resume negotiations today. Joseph F. Finnegan, director of the U.S. Federal Mediation Service. said the parties were “not very far apart.” He was echoed by spokesmen for the ILA and the shipping association, which represents 178 steamship firms, who agreed that a settlement was imminent. Notes of optimism also were sounded today by negotiators in the strike of tugboat and barge crewmen as they resumed deliberations aimed at ending a 14-day work stoppage that has cut off 70 per cent of New Yori's fuel deliveries. Negotiators for the United Marine Division of the National Maritime Union and an employer group agreed, at the conclusion of a meeting early today, that the picture had brightened. Although the tug strike has cut deeply into fuel supplies in the greater New York area, city officials said truck and occasional tanker deliveries were helping forestall any emergency. A spokesiman for Mayo Robert F. Wagner ' said that, in the event of an emer■gency, the federal government could supply the city with fuel from area government installations. While the tug strike had greatly reduced operations in the huge Port of New York, the walkout of 25,000 longshoremen here brought activity to a virtual standstill. Ships continued to dock, but passengers were forced to carry their own baggage, or rely on steam-1 ship company personnel. _ j One Man Is Killed In Shop Explosion Two Badly Injured At Michigan City MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (UP)— John Latham, 56, Michigan City, was killed and ' two other men were injured seriously late Wednesday when an explosion and fire swept a maintenance shop operated by a building contractor. In fair condition at Doctors Hospital were Chester Gumn and Ray Sheeler, both of Michigan City. The three were in the building at Tonn and Blank, Inc., when one of them evidently set off the explosion with an acetylene torch. The flames quickly spread through the building. Latham was knocked unconscious by the force of the explosion and died of suffocation before he could be removed from the burning building. Authorities said the explosion apparently was caused by a spark igniting a tank of acetylene gas.

Two Minor Wrecks Reported In County Accidents Reported Wednesday, Today Two vehicles were damaged in a minor collision Wednesday at 2:20 p.m. four miles east of Monroe on state highway 124.

Macmillan May Lose One Seat In House First Election Test Since Taking Office LONDON (UP)— Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's new Conservative government went into its first elections test today with the possibility of losing a seat in the House of Commons. The by-election, held in the normally Conservative London suburb of North Lewisham, was the first since Sir Anthony Eden stepped out as prime minister. The election will fill a vacancy created by the death of Sir Austin Hudson, a Conservative. There were indications the economic troubles, oil rationing and loss of national prestige that resulted from Eden's venture into Suez might bring the first Conservative defeat- North Lewisham was set up as a voting district in 1948. The borough gave the Conservatives a narrow margin in the 1955 general elections, but the Socialist Labor Party went into today's balloting a slight favorite. The candidates provided an odd contrast to. the usual pattern of upper-class Tory facing middleclass Labor. The Conservative candidate, Norman Farmer, is a self-made man who attended local grade schools and has lived in the borough all his life. Labor’s Niall Mac Dermot has an upper crust rugby school and Oxford University background. He was a lieu-tenant-colonel in World War II and joined the Labor Party only last year. Making it a three-cornered fight is Miss Leslie Green, secretary of the militant League of Empire Loyalists, who is standing as an independent.

Complete Test Wells, Results Are Awaited Test wells have been completed, tests made, and the findings are now being studied by Dr. Keck, of the University of Michigan, to determine how much water can be drawn from gravel wells here, Ralph Roop, city engineer, said today. The drilling was completed last week, and tests made. Water was pumped from one well at varying speeds, and the draw was pleasured in two other wells at specified distances. The drilling rigs were pulled out yesterday, and it will be about ten days before the city is Informed of the findings. It had been hoped that the water from the gravel wells would be considerably softer than water in city rock wells. However, first tests indicate that it may be just as .hard as rock wells in that area. Final test results should be available next week.
