Lake County Asks More Poor Relief INDIANAPOLIS <UPD — The chairman of the Indiana State Tax Board said today that additional appropriations probably will oe authorized for poor relief in two Lake County townships “either today or tomorrow.’’ Joda G. Newsom said Calumet Twp. officials had asked for an additional $150,000 because of the great number of striking steelworkers now on relief in that area. He said North Twp. had asked for $163,000. Newsom said “children, women and even men up there are getting hungry.” The board does not actually give money to the townships. It authorizes them to spend county funds.

Newsom and the two other members of the board visited Lake County Wednesday at the request of Governor Handley. Newsom said his inspection tour indicated that the steelworkers’ union was “doing everything it can” to aid the strikers. “There are 48,000 members in one local up there,” he said, “only about 10 per cent are seeking poor jrelief, but that is enough to swamp the township trustees.” Newsom said Calumet Twp. normally has 600 "regular customers” on relief, strike or no strike. He said that figure had swollen to 4,718. "We thought they had enough money to take care of present Deeds,” he said. "But in September, they commenced to spend money like mad. Now they are broke.” Newsom said "there was some talk" that the county would sell $1,500,000 worth of poor relief bonds to pay for relief expendi-

tures. He emphasized that the townships were only taking care of food and medical needs. He said i the unions are taking care of most | of the expenses “and are shoulder-' ing a great deal of the burden.” Fish Fry, Dance At Legion Home Friday Adams Post 43, American Legion, will have a fish fry and dance Friday evening at the Legion home, First and Madison streets. , A walleyed pike supper, with all the trimmings, will be served , from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Dancing will be from 8:30 p.m. ■ until closing time, with music by I Bob Krcckman and his golden tone ! sax.

British Laborites Worried By Strike LONDON (UPl).—Worried labor union leaders sought today to put a quick end to a spreading wildcat strike that threatens the Labor Party’s chances »in next week’s national election. More than 35,000 workers in the automotive industry were already out of work because of a two-day-old walkout of 2,000 employees at 18 plants of the British Oxygen Co. • It was feared that within a few days anywhere from 250,000 to 1,500,000 workers might be laid off and Britain's automotive, engineering, railroad and shipbuilding industries crippled. These industries all need bottled oxygen to operate but keep it in short supply for safety reasons. Supplies are now cut off. i Leaders of organized labor condemned the walkout for a second time today and ordered the oxygen workers to return to .work. The Trades Union Congress, fearing disastrous repercussion for labor at the poll Oct. 8. planned an emergency meeting today to deal with the crisis. The labor leaders feared a major industry stoppage just before elections would prove a body blow jto the resurgent Labor Party, ! which has campaigned on a claim it can halt the periodic strikes that have plagued industry under conservative party rule. Labor Party hopes had been buoyed by newspaper straw polls that showed Prime Minister Harold Macmillan’s Conservative Party popularity slipping continuously. , The campaign is in its final critical week. The proper name of the common guppy is “lebisters reticulatus.” Out of every dollar of cash receipts from farm products in the United States, about 20 cents comes from dairying, making it the nation's greatest single source of farm income.

News Commentator Upsets TV Show NEW YORK (UPI) — Veteran news commentator Lowell Thomas threw the “This Is Your Life” television program into an uproar Wednesday night — and titillated TV viewers in' the process—by refusing to affect the humility ordinarily required of a guest on the show. , Thomas was acting as toastmaster at a sports banquet at the Astor Hotel when the show’s ebullient mater of ceremonies, Ralph Edwards, approached, the theme music broke out and Edwards—to Thomas's evident surprise—called out: “This is your life. . .Lowell Thomas.” Thomas replied unheistatingly: “This is a sinister conspiracy.” His subequent remarW tutrned the normally dignified show into a sardonically humorous hour that bore scant resemblance, to the usual sweetness-and-light-type program. Edwards tried to coax Thomas through the highlights of his life. “I’m sure you’re going to be happy as your life goes by,” Edwards said, byway of a start. “I doubt that very much,” Thomas replied. Even the “surprise” appearance of his sister and his first schoolteacher could not change Thoma’ attitude. At one point, his sister, referring to their father’s interest in geology, said: “Father insisted that Lowell know every rock in the area.” “I knew every saloon, too,” Thomas said. • Thomas’ assistant also contributed humorously to the show’ diruption.

After the asistant had delivered what appeared to be a reluctant speech, Thomas commented: “You’ve had too many drinks.” “I haven’t had enough,” replied the assistant. Edwards winced and the banquest audience roared. Funeral Rises Held For Murder Victims MUNCIE, Ind. (UPD — Double funeral services were held Wednesday for Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miller of Eaton, who were slain by rifle bullets as they fished along the bank of a river near Goshen last week. Relatives said Miller, 54, a foundry inspector, was on sick leave from his job while suffering from leukemia, a blood disease which usually is fatal. He and Mrs. Mae Miller, 50, had gone to a favorite river fishing camp for an extended stay, aware that it might be their last vacation together. Floyd Walker, 19, Goshen, who was held as the couple's confessed killer, meanwhile awaited grand jury action from a cell in Elkhart County Jail at Goshen. Walker’s mother, Mrs. Doris Tomey, said she tried to have her son committed to a mental institution four years ago but three psychiatrists “turned down our request.” Sheriff’s officers* had described Walker as “mentally retarded” when he was arrested Monday. They learned he had finished only one year of public schools and had had special tutoring after that. , Over 2,500 Daily Democrats are sold and delivered In Decatur each day.

Scout Monument Is Planned In Capital Decatur, Monroe, Berne, and Geneva Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers and adult leaders are planning to share in building a monument in Washington, D. C., to rival those already there, as a memorial to the scouting movement, R. L. Van Horn, executive of the Anthony Wayne council, announced today. For 33 l i Million Congress and Pres. Eisenhower, Van Horn said, have approved the placing of the tribute to honor the 33*4 million Americans who have been affiliated with the Boy Sdouts since its establishment in 1910.

It will especially honor the eight million men and women who served as leaders in the organization. Plans call for a commemorative tribute of bronze or similar metal depicting a boy or boys grouped with one or more leaders. This will be centered in a fountain with a background of scenes depicting phases of the Scout program, its aims and objectives. It will provide a dignified and beautiful area where Scouts and .' leaders may gather while visiting the nation’s capital. Sculptors Invited Some of the nation's outstanding sculptors have been invited to prepare designs which will be submitted to the secretary of the interior, the fine arts commission and the national capital planning commission, i Present and former members of I the organization will share in the t project. Each donor will sign his name on scrolls to be sealed in • the base of the tribute. 1 Washington is an appropriate site because Scouting in America was born there February 8. 1910, and granted a federal charter from congress in 1916. Each local unit leader has received from Dr. Arthur A. Schuck, chief scdut executive, a letter inviting his unit’s participation. It is hoped each unit will fill the coin-slotted card which has spaces for fifty i dimes, thus contributing five dol--1 lars per unit. Adult members . may contribute currency or a ! check. 1 r - Many signs in Europe date 1 from the days when sets people ' could read.

Autos Damaged In Accident Wednesday A traffic accident occurred at the intersection of U. S. 27 and state road 124 (Coppess Corners) Wednesday afternoon with an estimatde $l5O damages incurred to the two vehicles involved. Sheriff’s deputy Charles Arnold, who investigated, said that the vehicle driven by Ronnie Compton, -21. of route 2, Bryant, attempted to avoid the car driven by John W. Marshall, 76, of 1022 Russell street, but the Marshall vehicle's front side and the left front door of the Compton car collided. The Compton vehicle was headed north on U. S. 27 and the Marshall machine was going east on state road 124. The point of impact was about 10 feet east of the centerline of U. S. 27. Compton, who was driving to work at the International Harvester in Fort Wayne, told police that he would have crashed the Marshall vehicle broadside had he not tried to swerve out of the way into the state road 124 lane. Marshall told police that he did not see the Compton car.
