Emergency Crews At Work In Stale INDIANAPOLIS < UPD-Gover-nor Handley said today that emergency crews are already at work in 15 Indiana counties repairing roads and bridges damaged by the January flood. Handley,said the State Highway Department is signing two-week special agreements with private contractors to make repairs and will extend the agreements if necessary. But the governor said he is hopeful that traffic conditions can be restored to normal in most of the. flood-damaged areas within two weeks. Handley said the highway department is using its own equipment to maintain and repair state highways and bridges. “The cost of the emergency repair work on non-state roads and bridges is being borne by the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization with federal funds," Handley said. The Federal Bureau of' Roads will share with the counties on a 50-50 basis the cost of reconstruction of secondary roads and bridges now under the federal aid system where damaged beyond emergency repair. The money is part of a federal emergency allocation to counties and does: not affect matching funds available for the state highway program. The 15 counties eligible for emergency federal help are Clark, "rawford, Dea r b o Floyd, Franklin, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Jennings, Ohio, Orange Ripley, Scott, Switzerland and Washington. Handley said he is hopeful the >gislature now in session wil ipprove his plan for creation of a hree million dollar fund to make bans on a matching basis to flood irea communities so Hoosiers can Took ahead and make scientific ireparatlons to prevent or alleviite future floods.”———.—.—„

The Senate Rackets Committee, which already has spent more than a million dollars investigating labor-management misdeeds, received the largest single sums7so,ooo. The Senate approved a resolution extending the commit; tee’s life for another year and giving it the same budget it had in 1958. Last year, the Senate initially voted $3,383,500 for investigations and added to that amount during the session. Sen. ..Allen J. Eljender (D-La.) fought his usual one-man. rearguard economy action, challenging almost every item. But not a single cut was made.
