Burns Ditch Port Decision Soon INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Presldentn Kennedy told Governor Welsh the U.S. Budget Bureau decision on Indiana's proposed Lake Michigan port should be reached “within a couple weeks." Welsh conferred with the President in Washington Friday on highway matters but his administrative assistant, Clinton Green, said today the governor also had handed the President copies of letters from Midwest and Bethlehem Steel Companies at the close of the highway talks. Green, who also is secretarytreasurer of the Indiana Port Commission, showed newsmen copies of the letters which state the two companies expect to build facilities at the Burns Ditch port site which would eventually employ about 35,000 persons. Green said Kennedy commented to Welsh, after glancing at the letters, he expected the budget bureau to have a decision on the Indiana port “within a couple of weeks.” Green said when and if the bureau approves a port, an effort will be made to get the first appropriation for it included in the omnibus ports and harbors bill. However, he conceded “it will be a miracle” if there is any action on the port during the current session of Congress. Green said the bureau had asked for additional information on the plans of Midwest and Bethlehem by which its facilities would be built. He said he expects to get the requested information today and forward it to Washington. In the letters which Welsh handed to the President, Midwest said it planned to start with a rolling mill employing 1,200 persons and expected to advance as economic conditions warranted toward completion of a construction program which would result in mills employing 20,000 persons at the port site. Bethlehem also plans to construct its facilities at the proposed > port in a series of phases. The 1 letter said the first phase would be a finishing mill employing about 1,200 to 1,500 persons and the final phase would bring the total employment up to 1,500.

Public Watchdog Also Nitpicker WASHINGTON (UPI) — One of my favorite pastimes is looking over the daily list of complaints issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). In these documents one can observe at close range the eternal conflict between the advertising man’s irresistible imagination and the consumer’s immovable skepticism. As an arbiter of such matters, the FTC has been both praised as a watchdog of the public interest and denounced as a bureaucratic nitpicker. I don’t intend to get involved in that, but it does seem to me that the agency has turned up some u nusually i ntriguing cases this year. For instance: If a straw hat bore the label “genuine Milan,’’ would you assume it was made in Italy of Milan straw? And would you feel deceived it you learned it actually was made in the United States of braid manufactured in Japan from hemp grown in the Philippines? Questions Trademarks Or ho w about using “First Prize” as a trademark for bobby pins that never won a prize of any kind? Or is "Lifetime” a proper brand name for a battery additive that doesn’t last an ordinary lifetime? These are a few of the questions that the FTC has grappled with, usually to the detriment of the manufacturer. The agency also has taken an interest in home instruction, or correspondence courses, three of which I regard as particularly noteworthy. One was supposed to teach people how to make themselves taller without standing on tippy-toes or wearing elevator shoes. Another offered instruction for slenderizing heavy legs and adding curves to skinny legs. The third was a do-it-yourself last will and testament kit. I _ J

Debate Lingerie Label Additionally, the FTC considered whether the word “Paris” on the label of domestic lingerie implies that the u ndergarment came from France, The lingerie issue had a counterpart in the case of a perfume which was compounded in America but which was described by its makers as “the essence of beauty that is France.” Since I don’t wear straw hats or lingerie, and rarely use bobby pins, battery additives and perfume, my interest in these cases was largely academic. It’s just that they somehow remind me of the man who killed his wife and stuffed her body in a trunk marked "fragile.” When the murder was discovered, he was arrested for using false labels. North Wells School Rejected By Board A group proposed a new high school in the Northern Wells | school district of Wells county met, defeat at the hands of irate Os J sian taxpayers last week when the state tax board turned down a request for a five-year 65-cent building fund levy. Two petitions of protest were filed at the open hearing July 12, attended by 225 taxpayers, almost all of , whom opposed the plans 'for raising funds for a new high school in the center of the school district. | This was the second request for' a levy—the first to be rejected > requested a $1 levy, and more than 300 persons attended that meeting. The Ossian Journal, a . weekly newspaper in that town, > led the opposition fight against the . new school.
