plied that the city administration was working on it every day, and asked city engineer Ralph Roop to explain. Sheets asked if the zinc plate business wasn’t a hit-or-miss sort of thing, and Mayor Gerber replied that the city was trying it out. and that if it worked it would be continued, if it didn't, it would be dropped. The city will try any reasonable solution, he added. Sheets suggested that the city bring in a full-scale chemical or electrical engineer to test for electrolysis.

This was the first phase of the program that the chemist has advised. In addition, T. C. Smith is testing for free oxygen every day, and submitting weekly reports, and recommendations to the city. Sheets stated that those answers satisfied him. Taxi Zoning Another visitor asked about the

zoning appeal of the new taxi company to locate in a residential area.

Garbage Collection Two Fort Wayne men appeared before the council, and asked if the council had considered including the collection of garbage and trash in the contract for disposal of the two in a sanitary land-fill program. City attorney De Voss pointed out that the former council had allowed funds only for the disposal, and that the city had garbage and trash collecting vehicles, and men hired, to do that job. The men stated that they might be interested in bidding on the entire operation next year, if the council would consider it. Attorney DeVoss stated that the specifications for the garbage disposal contract would be ready shortly, possibly yet this month.

SB6 Million Outlay Planned By NIPSCO

An SB6 million investment in new plant and facilities by Northern Indiana Public Service company in 1964 and 1965 was announced today by Dean H. Mitchell. NIPSCO “chairman and president, in the utility’s annual report to shareholders. Mitchell said t h e multi-million dollar construction program was designed to keep ahead of the rapid growth and development taking place in the northern third of the Hoosier state. “It is tangible evidence.’’ he said, “of the confidence we have in the dynamic future of the territory we serve.” The utility's almost 50,000 stockholders were told that the Calumet region is destined to become the leading steel producing center in the world. Close to St billion in actual and announced expenditures are going for new and expanding steel mills in this, area, the report said, while the introduction of the basic oxygen furnace is making possible the production of 200 tons of steel in a single furnace in less than 30 minutes. “We have recently signed a 15 year contract with the Bethlehem Steel company for 100.000 kilowatts of electric capacity for their new Burns Harbor plant,” Mitchell said, “and a contract has also been signed with them for large quantities of interruptible gas. “If we are to meet the projected growth anticipated for this area in the next 20 years, we must continue to invest large sums in new facilities to serve the growing needs of customers,” the utility chief executive declared. Growing Needs Included in the SB6 million construction program is about $25.5 million for the connection of new gas and electric customers: $27.7 million for electric production, transmission and distribution facilities; $23.3 million for the continued development of underground storage, gas transmission and distribution lines; and $9.5 million for general plantland, buildings, transportation and communication facilities, tools and equipment. Some of the larger projects in Sinatra Defendant ( Slated To Testify '* LOS ANGELES (UPD—Codefendant John William Irwin was scheduled to testify today in his own defense at the Frank Sinatra Jr. kidnaping trial. Irwin, a 42-year old house painter described by his attorney, Gladys Towles- Root, as a “kindly” man, is accused 3 of aiding and abetting the kidnaping of the young singer by helping to guard him at a Canoga Park hide-out house after the Dec. 8 abduction from a Lake Tahoe motel. His codefendants are Joseph Clyde Amsler, 23, and Barry Worthington Keenan, 23. In a statement entered in the record of the trial last week by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI • agents, Irwin told how he drove young Sinatra from the hide-out house to a point near the youth’s mother’s home in Bel-Air and released him after payment of the $240.000 ransom money by Frank Sinatra Sr. Irwin accepted approximately $50,000 of the ransom, according to the FBI, but then drove south to San Diego County and surrendered at his brother’s home. Both Irwin and codefendant Amsler have in effect described the third defendant. Keenan, as the mastermind of the kidnap plot. Amsler, a onetime amateur boxer and professional skindiver. completed a two day stint Tuesday on the witness stand and insisted he was told by Keenan that the kidnaping was a “publicity stunt” and “there would be no trouble” because young Sinatra knew about it beforehand. Sinatra has denied from the witness stand that, the incident ■was anything but a Ixma fide kidnaping.

As a result, we produced 83% of our electric requirements in our own plants. The remaining 17% was purchased under favorable long-term contracts from neighboring electric utilities. “Gas sales in 1963 reached a new high of 149 billion cubic feet, up 13% over the previous year. We increased our total flow gas supply to 492.6 million cubic feet per day. Only five years ago, the utility’s total gas supply was less than 170 million cubic feet per day. “NIPSCO paid or provided more than S3O million for taxes in 1963, equal to 18c out of each dollar of revenue collected from customers, and equivalent to $3.45 per share of outstanding common stock.” Revenues Increase Stockholders were told that 1963 operating revenues totaled $166,498.000, an increase of 8% over 1962. About 53% of the utility’s revenue was derived from the . sale of gas and 47% from the sale of electricity. The report stated that the company’s net income for 1963 was $21,763,000. Earnings per share **of common stock were $2.20 on the 8,823.842 shares outstanding at the end of the year. This compared with earnings of $2.06 per share on the 8.797,328 shares outstanding at the end of 19611. Dividends paid on the common stock of the company in 1963 total $1.36 per share compared to $1.23 per share in 1962. The current annual dividend rate is 1.48 per share. During 1963, NIPSCO spent $16.5 million in Indiana for materials, services and supplies. In addition, it paid dividends to its more than 15,000 Indiana stockholders and $31.8 million in wages and salaries to the dedicated men and women who have chosen employment with the utility as their life’s work. These expenditures, together with the company’s state and local taxes of $11.9 million, contributed * substantially to the economic health and well-being of the Hoosier state. Castro Willing To Restore Base Water HAVANA (UPD — Premier Fidel Castro said today that Cuba is ready to restore water supplies to the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo. Speaking to a group of foreign correspondents who recently visited Oriente Province, Castro said: “We are ready to resume servicing water to the Guantanamo base since- the situation that forced us to cut the water, has ended. “We said we would not provide water until our fishermen were released and. as they have been released, we are willing to restore service. “It is true that the fishermen were fined and we paid the fine, because we were not going to leave them there suffering.” Castro referred to the seizure of four Cuban fishing boats off Key West, Fla., Feb. 2 and the arrest of their captains and crews for violating U.S. territorial .waters. Some of the crewmen were released because they were juveniles, but the captains and other crewmen ■were fined by a Florida court. In retaliation for this, Castro ordered the water supply to Guantanamo cut off. Tbr water has been supplied by a private company from sources outside the base.

Indiana Man Held For Dynamitings ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (UPD —An Indiana man was held today for questioning about dynamite blasts which shattered a Negro home in Jacksonville last month and derailed two Florida East Coast Railway trains near here last week. St. Johns County Sheriff UO. Davis said William Sterling Rosecrans, 30, Anderson, Ind., was arrested here Tuesday for routine questioning and held on an open charge. “He admitted he knows how to use dynamite from construction work,” Davis said, “but he denies any connection with any bombings.” Davis said Birmingham, Ala., authorities would arrive today to question Rosecrans in connection with a bombing last Sept. 15 of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham which killed four Negro children attending Sunday School. Davis said Rosecrans told deputies he went to Jacksonville from Alabama in October of last year and came here from Jacksonville on Feb. 25 after he spotted Duval County (Jacksonville! deputies and FBI agents searching his car. “There were three sticks of dynamite found in the black automobile which We definitely tied up with him,” Davis said. “He admits he abandoned the car and headed here when he saw them searching it, but he told us the dynamite was part of about 800 to 1.000 sticks he found buried in two barrels in his back yard in Jacksonville.” Earlier last month, a dynamite blast rocked a Negro home in Jacksonville off its foundations, but no one was hurt. On Feb. 27, two days after Rosecrans checked in at a hotel here under the name of James E. Lewis of Mobile, Ala., blasts rocked two FEC freight trains about 10 miles south of here. Such blasts have derailed more than five freight trains in the bitter 13-month-old strike against the FEC.

U. S., France Rift Concerns Germany

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Newt Analyst A West German newspaper has suggested an immediate summit conference between President Johnson and French President Charles de Gaulle. Thte suggestion came from the Kiel newspaper Kieler Nachrichten and was a reflection of growing West German concern over the rift between the United States and France. Said the Kieler Nachrichten: “It is high time that a working discussion between President de Gaulle and President Johnson should be held; and the existence of a ‘hot wire’ between Paris and Washington is as important as is that between Washington and Moscow.” Other West German newspapers have expressed themselves in similar vein. The Stuttgart Zeitung said the West German government should warn both nations that their present course ‘may enwrap them both in catastrophe.” Between Two Loyalties As De Gaulle disdainfully ignores the wishes of Washington and Washington in turn seeks to isolate De Gaulle, West Germany sees itself tom between two loyalties and faced with a demand that it declare itself for one or the other. In either course the Germans see disaster. On the one hand the Germans see the United States using both Bonn and Rome as fulcrums to exert pressure on De Gaulle, thus adding new deterrents to Europe’s already painful path toward integration. On the other, they see De Gaulle throwing obstacles in the way of the United States in Southeast Asia, and, despite French dentils, raising the hopes of Moscow and Communist East Germany that France might eventually support a theory of a permanently divided Germany. In De Gaulle’s forthcoming visits to Latin American nations they see a De Gaulle attempt, in the words of the Lubeck

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, IM4

News, to “demonstrate to Latin America that a country can be pro-Western and anti-Yankee at the same time.” Germans See Disaster In these collision courses wherein the Germans see disaster, the Germans also see alternatives which they believe could work for good on a basis of trust rather than suspicion. In Latin America, the editorials suggested that France might take over part of the burden now borne by the United States. In Southeast Asia, France might contribute to a solution other than ever deeper involvement in war. In the U.S.-French confrontation, the Germans see only advantage to the Communist World and to an easing' of pressure against Moscow. . It was left to the Luebeck News to put into grim, words, a possibility which has haunted the Western Allies since the beginning of the cold war and which has been a key to Allied support of a strong West Germany closely Allied economically and militarily to the West. Turn To East “The choice of the Federal Republic of Germany is not between Paris and Washington,” it said, but between 1 Western Europe and Paris on the one hand and Eastern Europe on the other.” It said that’it is. tiie Soviet Union and not the West which has the final say on German reunification. And in the event of European stagnation and failure to integrate, then a divided Germany might be tempted to turn toward the East for a solution of its national, problems. It would, indeed, be a sad result of a quarrel between supposed allies.
