been removed. However, the southern part of the State faced a serious flood condition that was aggravated tuday by an inch to and inch and a half of rainfall over the southern part of White River east fork, and the lower Wabash, the Bureau said. Flood workers in outlying Indianapolis communities spent today mopping up silty mud left by the high waters. Streams in the Indianapolis area today had fallen considerably below the crest of the flood and no longer were any threat to property.
Body Is Identified
The body of a man found in the White River today as the waters receded was identified as that of Louis Blaske, 32, known as “Dutch Louis,” "according to police. The body was found by Nick Toney, 16 Plumb St. Police said identification was made by John Marcum, 1231 Nordyke Ave.; John Dorter, 844 S. Senate Ave. and Albert Bartley, 814 S. Senate Ave. » The top flood gate of White River in the Sunshine Gardens area was opened, deputy sheriffs announced today, but they do not know who opened it. Because of this, much farm land in. the section was flooded. The deputies, unable to close it, said it may have been opened by some one who realized that many fish would be stranded in the farm land when the water recedes.
Recover From Exposure
Lee Rose, 28, of 504 W. 43d St., and Eras Miller, 44, of 1226 Congress Ave. were recovering today from exposure they were subjected to yesterday when they sought to anchor a dredging machine against flood waters at Wicker Road near Glenns Valley. a The machine was teetering in a swift White River current and Mr. Rose and Mr. Miller set out in a

his arms full.
They reached it and the boat capsized. Mr. Miller grabbed the dredge. Mr. Lee was pinned to a stump by the current. Mr. Miller reached for Mr. Rose and pulled him to the dredge. Onlookers called Deputy Sheriffs Francis Dux, Harry Ragsdale, Walter Davis and Clarence Ploenges. Deputies Davis and Dux made two unsuccessful attempts to reach the men in a boat, The third was successful and the men were rescued, given stimulants and medical aid. e .
Rains Add to Flood Menace

additional hundreds from their homes. Rains of an inch or more fell over the area and relief agencies organized hurriedly to care for families fleeing before the new deluge. Weather forecasters said that even though the rains had stopped it would be days before waters reached their crests. The Ohio River was at floodstage from Cincinnati to Cairo. Six were dead, three in Ohio, two in Inidana and one in Illinois. Others were feared missing in southern Missouri where the St. Francis River roared over its banks.

4 SNOWBOUND 29 DAYS SAVED
Companion Dies in Attempt “To Seek Aid; Catsand Dog Survive.
By United Press | ° LAS VEGAS, Nev, Jan, 18.— Three women, a man, two cats and a dog reveled in warmth, food, and security today. They had been snowbound for 22 days. Their companion had ‘been frozen to death in -a heroic effort to save them. The man had fought a blizzard and snow drifts for 22. hours while the others remained imprisoned in a snow-covered automobile for seven days and a half.
Mrs. Lee Prettyman, wife of a mine operator; Fred Miller, 45, Mrs. Prettyman’s brother; James Poe and his wife, and Doris Dunn, Mrs. Prettyman’s Negro cook, were going into town for the winter. On Dec. 27 they passed Groom Dry Lake, deep in the Nevada desert. Soon a blizzard was raging. The car stalled in a drift out of gasoline. Wind banked snow against the car. Snow swirled down. The temperature outside the machine was below zero. Inside the car the humans and animals huddled together, absorbing what warmth they could from one another.
Starts Out for Aid
Nights of Dec. 27, 28 and 29 were passed in this fashion. On Dec.’ 30, Miller volunteered to seek aid at
the cabin of Bob Smith, 17 miles away. Soon after Miller left a new blizzard began, laying down many more tons of snow. Every person in the car knew Miller was dead. After two days, Poe took a can of keef, tried to cheer the women, and set out, conscious that if he did not get through he lost not only-<his own life, but those of the people he left behind in the car. Twenty-two hours later he came to the Smith cabin, flung himself against the! door and staggered into the living room. The Smiths restored him somewhat, and he told his story. Smith got his truck and he and Poe set out immediately. They wandered through the snowy wastes two days until Jan. 4 when they saw a little of the automobile standing out of a snow drift. The women, the eats, and the dog were ill.. The women appeared in serious if not dying conditions. CCC Joins in Rescue
In the ensuing jdays, the radio brought news of ‘the attempt to reach them. Searching airplanes had sighted the stalled car and it had been decided that all were dead. CCC workers with a tractor and a snow plow had set out from Las Vegas. Last Thursday evening this party reached the Smith cabin, having plowed a path through snow five to 10 feet deep. : A new blizzard came up, but yesterday they reached the Las Vegas highway and arrived here last night. Mrs. Prettyman was recovering today from frost-bitten feet.

Judge Judge Baker also favors a bill changing the manslaughter law to permit the court to determine sentences. At present, the term is 2 to 21 years. Judge Baker said he believed the court should be able to set the minimum term. An amendment to the change of venue law, requiring criminals to present more specific reasons for taking their cases out of the country, is urged by Mr. Spencer.

STREETCAR MEN STAGE WALKOUT IN TERRE HAUTE
Reject Compromise Wage Increase Offered by Company.
By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Jan. 18. — A strike of 158 workmen kept every streetcar and bus off Terre Haute streets today, leaving. taxicabs the only form of public trazjsportation available. . : With regular facilities at a standstill. and taxicabs insufficient to meet demands, workers in this industrial city of 63,000 used private automobiles, bicycles or walked to their jobs. The strike was called at 4 a. m. yesterday as members of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway. and Motor Coach Employees rejected a compromise offer of 121% per cent wage increace and reiterated demands for a 20 per cent raise. Officials of the Indiana Railroad, which operates the City transportation system, said they thought it “inadvisable” to attempt to continue operation. Streetcar barns and bus garages were picketed without disturbance. The strike call was issued after a midnight meeting Saturday night and took the populace completely by surprise. Interurbans of the Indiana Rail road, running between Indianapolis and Terre Haute, made no effort to enter the city. Passengers were dise charged at Highland Lawn Cemes tery, at the eastern edge of the city, where taxicab service was available, The 1215 per cent wage increase rejected by the Saturday night meeting was offered by the Indiana Railroad in recent negotiations dure ing which suspension of the come pany’s interurban and city transpore tation systems narrowly was averted, Continued operation was permitted, however, when petitions bearing signatures of approximately 93 per cent of the compdny’s employes and agreeing to accept the 1212 per cent compromise were pres sented to Judge Wilson. Leaders at the Terre Haute strike meeting claimed the signatures were obtained “under threat of loss of jobs.” Support of the strikers was pledged by Max Schaefer, president of the Vigo County Central Labor Union, who said he di dnot anticipate any sympathy walkouts, He said: “By written agreement of both parties to the dispute, an arbitration board was set up whose findings were to be binding on both parties. “All that the workers on strike ask is that the decision of the arbitration board be lived up to and in that demand they have the full support of the Vigo County Central Labor Union.” -
