Slate Distributes ! Gasoline Tax Fund County And Decatur i To Receive Checks INDIANAPOLIS < UP'—lndiana cities, towns and counties today, received their first big chunk of the state’s 2-cent increase in the | gasoline tax. The State Auditor’s Office sent ( checks for nearly 12 million dol- < lars as local communities' share ) of 25 million dollars worth of motor vehicle fund collections for the April-June quarter. The state tax on motor vehicle fuels went ftom 4 to 8 cents a gallon last March 15. Tax collections for the first full quarter after the increase totaled $24,084,576, compared with $17,618,491 during the same quarter in 1956 when the tax was still 4 cento. • Motor vehicle funds, mostly from the gasoline tax. are divided among the State Highway Department (53 per cent), counties (32 ] per cent) and cities and towns (15 ’ per cent). ; The distribution included $71,718 | to Perry County, where County Treasurer Earl Kieser last week admitted a ,$200,000 embezzlement , of county funds. Deputy State Auditor Allen Lind- , ley said that county’s share could be used for purposes other than highways to help offset the em- ] bezzlement.

S. Ambassador To Cuba Is Assailed Critical Comments By Smith Scored HAVANA (UP)—Government anger rose today against US.'Ambassador Eart E.T. Smith and there were reports he may be asked to leave the country because he visited rebel-held areas In eastern Cuba. Total news censorship, imposed under a decree suspending civil rights for 45 days, veiled military developments in the area. But in Havana Smith became the target of an unprecedented campaign of attacks by government spokesman because of his critical comments Wednesday on police precautions in rebel-infested Santiago. Informed circles said it was unlikely the administration would go so far as to throw him out of Cuba. A Cuban “white house" spokesman announced, however, that Foreign Minister Gonzalo Guell has been instructed to get hold of Smith “for the purpose of discussing his unfortunate declarations in Santiago.” The pro - government organ Alerta carried a statement by its publisher. Communications Minister Ramon Vasconcelos. accusing the ambassador of “imperialistic meddling” in Cuba's affairs. “Mr. Smith has permitted himself to express opinions on domestic questions about which he knows nothing.. ” Vasconcelos said. “He acted with less tact than was to be expected from a diplomat just arrived in a country that is not an American colony, that has a legally constituted government and that is faced with an abnormal situation which it is, trying to solve.” Unconfirmed reports said rebels operating from hideouts in the mountains had burned a police station in Bueyecito and an army barrack in Minas. Guerrillas also were said to have blown up bridges across the Cunela. Yao and Macanacum rivers. Normal activity in Santiago was at a standstill today as a result of a “general strike" called by the opposition to protest the killing of a rebel leader by police.

Four-Monlh Drought In Parts Os East Spotty Drought In East States Areas A UNITED PRESS EXTRA By UNITED PRESS The nation’s Middle Atlantic Coast and southern New England normally an area of good rainfall today entered the fourth month o: a drought which in some section; is the worst in history. But it is a spotty drought anc still a “pygmy” compared wlti the eight - year drought recentlj broken in the Great Plains states according to Weather Bureau rec ords. That will be of slight consola tion to farmers in the worst-hi regions. A United Press survey showed the dry weather hap beet particularly damaging in south eastern Massachusetts, most o Rhode Island, parts of Connecticu and southern New York and ii southern New Jersey. The ground is dry to a depth o 18 to 20 inches in parts of Mas sachusetts and the Boston weathei forecast or says it “would take t hurricane to really soak the grounc now ” Rhode Island estimates its croj loss at more than 10 million do! lars, or one-third that tiny state’; annual output. Southern New Jer sey had rainfall in May. June anc July of 4.39 inches, compared wfitk a normal 12. Applies Will Wither 1 Corn has been the crop hardesi hit. Farmer Cart Stimers of mid state New York noted the old saying that the corn should be “knee high by the Fourth of July." “Well, mine was." he says, “but it hasn't grown a bit since then It should be up to my shoulders instead of my knees.” Harry Stahlman, an apple grower in New York’s Columbia County with an orchard of 48,00( trees, says the drought is the worst he has seen since 1910. “I’ir afraid that unless we get rair soon, apples will wither and drof from the trees," he said. In some of the mountain area: in northeastern Pennsylvania trees are beginning to die and th< countryside is taking oh the ap pearance of autumn with th< foliage already turning golden. The drought extends soutl through Delaware and Marylanc to Virginia where six counties nov . have asked the governor to seel federal disaster relief Massa chusetts, Rhode Island and Con nccticut have applied to Presiden Eisenhower to declare their state: disaster areas eligible for fedcra aid.

suits. Wayne C. Palmer at the Washington office of climatology of the U.S. Weather Bureau says the East Coast drought cannot even be compared with the Great Plains drought that affected 26 states. Palmer says the area In which this drought has reached serious proportions is smaller than the state of Oklahoma It is of short duration and not even breaking many records for the East, he c said. i. The period May 1-Aug. 1 will be 1, about the fifth driest in the last >f 50 years in the areas around Noris folk, Washington, Baltimore and Boston, he said. At Trenton, N.J., d and Providence, R.1., it is the h driest in 50 years and at Bridgey port, Conn., about third driest. 5. The granddaddy of all East Coast droughts was around Baltimore. It began in the year 1863 i- and lasted through early 1872. it " Temperature Moves 2 Toward Season High ’ f Northern Indiana •r Promised Relief a By UNITED PRESS d The temperature crept slowly toward the season’s highest marks P today in Indiana, and only the 1* northern third of Hoosicrland was s due for relief in the near future.

Problems Os Life In India Are Discussed

Problems in Indian life and agriculture were discussed recently by Deane Dorwin, summer editorial writer for the Decatur Dally Democrat, and Or. A. N. Bhatnagar, professor of agricultural extension work at B. R. college. Agra, India, for a press conference broadcast recently over radio station WOWO. Dr. Bhatnagar visited for two Weeks with Mr and Mrs. Robert Diss, of route 2. Roanoke. Mrs. Diss, the former Florence Martin, daughter of Mrs. Luther Martin, of Geneva, is an active membetbf the B-Z-B home demonstration dub, and a member of the Allen bounty chorus. Her four children are active in 4-H work. Dr. Bhatnagar is presently engaged in setting up an agricultural extension program for an area twice the size of Allen county, around, Agra, India, the site of the famous Taj Mahal. This area is almost entirely agricultural, but has a population greater than Allen county. Farmers in this area of northwestern India live in villages, and farm their plots in the neighboring desert country. The extension service is organized on a village basis, rather than by counties. There arc ten villages in each county agent’s district. The countryside is quite similar to that in Utah, with very little rain, except in one short season. Good farming there is based' on efficient use of irrigation. Dams gather the water in the hils, and this is diverted into channels, some of them 500 miles long, to bring the water to the desert fields. The farmers have, on the avefage, the doctor explained, about five acres of land. Two crops a year are harvested. Corn, Cotton, millet, sisal, and wheat are raised during the brief rainy season, which lasts two arid a half months, and deposits almost the entire year’s rainfall of 24 inches during that time. After the rainy weather crop, another dry crop, that must be irrigated, is planted. This is rape seed, wheat, barley, or other small grains. It is harvested in April. Usually the fields must be irrigated twice during the dry season. The Indian doctor will- travel from the United States to Europe, where he will be honored with an interview by the queen of England. He received his doctorate from Lucknow university. Lucknow, India. He is married arid the father of two children, a son 20 years of age who has recently received a degree in civil engineering, and a daughter. 15t£ years old, who has just been graduated from high school. Dr. Bhatnagar is visiting this country on a private travel grant, and has studied county agent work in Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, and Indiana. His position is roughly comparable to that of director Hoffman at Purdue university. His task is son-- what easier, in one respect. than an extension worker’s task in the United States, he explained. because basically the Indian farmer has a great respect for a learned man, with a college degree. He is willing to listen to him, at least the first time. If he gives good, usable advice, he will return for more information, but if not. he will have a hard time working with the Iridian farmer.

He pointed but that in many cases the number of schools in a given area had doubled. The advance of the dbuntry wis no longer based on just the profit motive, but on service to the people Before, if a train proved to lose money, it was discontinued, and the Indian people had to walk and carry thpir produce to ma'rket. Now. the government is building railroads and highways to help the Indian, rather than to make a profit. Poison Is Found In Crawfordsville Stream CRAWFORDSVILLE (UP) — Health and sanitation officials here said Thursday laboratory tests showed that waters of a small stream near the city’s sewage disposal plant contained potassium cyanide. Dr. Fred N. Daugherty, city and county health officer, and Harold Walters, city and county sanitarian, ordered the tests when they learned several geese and birds had been found dead in the area. They warned parents to keep their children , from playing near the stream. The source of the poison has not been determined. , fl SHOP 111 _at — _ HOLTHOUSE ■ FURNITURE ■ DOLLAR DAY ■ AUGUST 7th Sm f/wX | ONE PAINT ONE COAT ■ Ayen/re 1 ISCRUBIIBLEjI B HAT £9 jw" mun MBH >cc IK: to* WALLS, CHUNGS, WOOOWC2X Easy to use odorless alkyd paint —• self-smoothing, •elf-priming — scrubablc ’ KOHNE Brig Store
