The optimism on the future of the long-cherished port was caused by a Senate Public Lands Subcommittee vote to reject Sen. Paul Douglas’ bill to make a national park of the Indiana dunes in Porter County. The vote was 4-3 against the measure. Handley said it was “a great service to' Indiana and the MidWest.” “I feel I bespeak the sentiments of the people of Indiana in commending the subcommittee,” he said. Handley also said data on the proposed -Bums Ditch port will be presented “in final form” to Armj Engineers in a few days. The tentative defeat of the Douglas bill removed one of the biggest roadblocks in the way of the port and general industrial expansion along tiie Lake Michigan shoreline. But political observers speculated that the last has not been heard of the controversial park measure. Subcommittee chairman Joseph O’Mahoney (D-Wyo.), who did not vote because of illness, may still cast a ballot. If he votes in favor of the park, the bill may go before the full committee, where Douglas said he would appeal the subcommittee decision. o — Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE I o — c The Hairbrush Rub half a cupful of salt and flour, in equal proportions, through the bristles'of a hairbrush and this will make it as clean as new. Shake the mixture out well before using the brush. The Hands Immediately after dishwashing, drop a little lemon juice into the palms and rub well over the hands to keep them soft and white. This also removes such odors as fish or onion. Bleaching Linens White linens may be bleached by covering with lemon juice and laying them in the sun for a day. Wash out in warm water and soap suds; Plaster of Paris One of the most satisfactory methods of hardening the surface of plaster of Paris is to incorporate in the wet mix a small quantity of gum arabic. After the casting has been made, the surface may also be hardened by immersion in a solution of alum. LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. J. S.

Ellender WASHINGTON (UPD-Sen. Allen J. Ellender said today he would ask the Senate Appropriations Committee to further boost its $39,750,000,000 defense money bill to finance a bigger Army The Louisiana Democrat’s move failed by a narrow margin in the military appropriations subcommittee. But he said he would ask the full committee to provide funds for a 900.000-man Army when it votes on the bill next Tuesday. Army strength is estimated at about 870,000 men. Tables provided by the military appropriations subcommittee, which completed the giant bill Wednesday, indicated that the larger Army would cost at least 77 million dollars. Last year the Congress voted funds to keep the Army at the 900,000 man level, but the administration did not sptend them. In voting 43* million dollars for a 200,000 man Marine Corps, rather than President Eisenhower’s 175,000-man force, the Senate subcommittee this year used language directing that the money be spent and prohibiting its use fry; any other purpose. The Senate subcommittee also voted funds to modernize the Artny and to build the Navy a second nuclear-powered submarine. Chairman Dennis Chavez (DN.M.) announced, pending detailed recapitulations by the subcommittee staff, that the group voted 500 millions more than President Eisenhower budgeted and '9OO million more than approved by the House. The Senate subcommittee went along with the House in approving language which would let the President order an airborne alert by the Strategic Air Command if he thought such action was necessary. The subcommittee approved the House action in keeping the National Guard at 400,000 men and the Army Reserve at 300,000 with a regular Army of 870,000. With exact breakdowns for the individual services still to be computed, it was clear that more than 40 billion dollars in new cash would be made available under die new bill. That does not include more than a billion dollars worth of military construction projects carried in separate bills. DECATUR’S OLD FASHIONED SIDEWALK SALE TUES., JULY 7 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.

Record Number Os Books Loaned Here , ". ...... More books were checked out at. the public library this past June than during any other June on record, Miss Bertha Heller, librarian, said Wednesday. In addition, the adults will never patch up with the children in reading, Miss Heller said, pointing out that of the 9,904 books checked out during June, 7,564 of these were juvenile books, while 2,340 of these were read in the adult department. It wasn’t always that way. Only when the summer reading program was started in 1949, did the children's department have a higher er circulation than the adult department. During that June, the children went ahead of the adults, 1,346 to 1140. Since then. Miss Heller added, looking over the records, the juvenile department circulation has been higher than the adult department circulation. That 1949 total, compared with the total circulation five years later, in 1954 shows a steady increase: in ’49, it was 2,486, in '54, it was 5,104. The circulation during the past ten years has shown an increase of almost 1,000 books each year for June. Before the reading program was started, in 1949, the circulation stood around the 2,000 mark. Twenty years ago, the total circulation for June was 2.801: in 1944, 15 years ago, it stood at 2,372. Two Women Killed As Train Hits Car WALKERTON, Ind. (UPD-Mrs. Viola Prater, 69, and her daughter.
