ence chamber at 12:30 p. m. and hurried to a private office nearby to telephone. “Is there any agreement inside?” he was asked. “No,” Mr. Smith rplied. Governor Murphy, sitting in as special mediator at President Roosevelt's request, spurred the union leaders and company officials to reach agreement on the fundamental bone of contention.
Lewis Arrives Early
Spokesman for the C. I. O. was its chairman, John L. Lewis, who arrived 20 minutes ahead of schedule with James P. Dewey, Federal Labor conciliator. John Thomas Smith, corporation general counsel for the automobile company, led the coun-ter-attack. A somewhat silent participant as Mr. Lewis and Mr. Smith bore the burden of debate was William S. Knudsen, executive vice president of General Motors. Homer Martin, president of the United Automobilc Workers, C. I. O. union, sat with Mr. Lewis. Lewis’ early arrival gave him opportunity for 20 minutes’ earnest conversation with Governor Murphy and Mr. Dewey, in which Mr. Martin joined five minutes before the conference was to start. The argument did not directly concern the automobile industry. It centered about Mr. Lewis’ contention that since the corporation speaks for the stockholders as an entity, his union should speak for the workers in the same capacity. The determination of Mr. Lewis to gain recognition rested on belief that the General Motors strike is the spearhead of his entire C. I. O. unionization drive, its success probably dependant on his achievements here. Two new figures appeared at today's meeting. They were Donaldson Brown, chairman of General Motors finance committee, and Lee Pressman, general counsel for the C. I. O. Their late arrival, with Mr. Knudsen and Mr. Smith, delayed start of the conference some 15 minutes.
J. K. LILLY AWARDED REFUND ON GIFT TAX

Baltzell was the first ruling ever handed down on the “tenancy by entirety” section of the Federal gift tax law. The tax was on an estate purchased in 1932 and placed in joint title with Mrs. Lilly.

TOWNSEND AND HOPKINS TOMEET AT EVANSVILLE
Martial Law Line to Be Moved South, Straub Announces.
(Continued from Page One)
Thirty-five square blocks in Tell City were covered by water. Governor Townsend was to confer this afternoon with Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief Administrator, in Evansville. Meanwhile, Adj. Gen. Elmer Straub announced that at noon the martial law line would be moved south to include only the 14 counties fronting the Ohio River. Demobilization of the 3500 National Guardsmen on flood duty to 1300 by Sunday was decided at a conference last night between the Governor, Gen. Straub, General D. Wray DePrez and Col. John 8. Fishback. The guardsmen are expected to be removed from the area within a week, Governor Townsend said. Able-bodied men will be permitted to return to their homes and businesses in the flooded section as soon as local citizens’ committees and Dr. Harvey, deem it advisable.
Business to Resume
All Evansville stores and factories are to be permitted to reopen, a military order announced today. Medical inspection and approval formerly was necessary before reopening. This rule was revoked in today’s order. A request to remove Evansville from the martial law area was to be presented to Governor Townsend at the conference by Mayor William Dress. The request was expected to include provisions to allow a few guardsmen to aid civil authorities policing the area. Military patrols have been restricted to the actual flooded areas and the Court House where military headquarters are located on an order from Col. Louis L. Roberts. This order, going into effect at noon today, came at the request of Mayor Dress and the Civilians Committee. Maj. Gen. Robert Tyndall, in his formal report to Governor Townsend, urged that women and children be kept out of the militia zone until the thick coating of yellow river mud is cleaned out of the affected communities.
Relief Plan to Be Discussed
The Governor is to discuss with Mr. Hopkins and Wayne Coy, State WPA Director, a Federal relief and rehabilitation program in Indiana following the tour. The counties included in the military zone under the new order are Posey, Vanderburgh, Warrick, Spencer, Perry, Crawford, Harrison, Floyd, Clark, Scott, Jefferson, Switzerland, Ohio and Dearborn. Dr. Harvey said that sickness was | below normal and that only 20 deaths had been reported. There were 511 influenza and 103 scarlet fever cases reported up to last night. As part of the demobilization, Gen. Tyndall and the general staff officers are to be relieved of duty today. Military garrisons are to be set up in Evansville, Tell City, Mount, Vernon, St. Meinrad, Scottsburg and Osgood, and patrols will cover the entire flooded area. The food supply is sufficient and Governor Townsend said 50 carloads | of supplies were being sent by the | New York Farm Bureau. | Equipped with hip boots and a | keg of fresh water, Governor Town- | send’s caravan of five state officials |and seven newspapermen arrived at { French Lick last night on the first | leg of the four-day tour.
WPA to Investigate
| Charles Wilson, Assistant State | WPA Director, said that no WPA | workers would be returned to the | flood zone until the individual ‘cases were investigated and work found for them. Greatest” health menace is the thick coating of slimy mud, dregs of the greatest flood in the history of the Ohio Valley, Gen. Tyndall said. Jeffersonville and Evansville suffered the greatest property damage, the General said. The river fell four-tenths of a foot during the last 24 hours at Evansville. The river stage was reported at 7 a. m. today to be 52.9 feet. The crest, reached Sunday was | 53.74, almost 19 feet above the 35- | foot flood stage.
State Agencies Plan Flood Relief
The business of state today was flood.
The State Commission of Financial Institutions continued a special study of how to salvage records from the flooded banks and public offices. A conference today will take up other aspects of the problem.
The Indianapolis Req Cross dis(aster fund reached $233,374.31 at [noon today. The total was swelled Jue mOrning BY ure contributions om the Mayor nd, amountin to $3769.08, and The Indianapolis Times’ Mile of Dimes, amounting to $2864.70. Myron Green of the InSirens Chamber of Commerce sa e expected the a pec total to reach Frank Watson, Purdue Housin Research Director and designer of the $1300 double house erected in Indianapolis last fall, was in Washington. He discussed with Federal officials the possible use of such houses in the distressed area. Flood control plans presented by Col. Richard Lieber of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce were indorsed by Chamber of Commerce officials of nine states after a meeting yesterday in Columbus, O

ALLOWANCE FOR EX-KING EDWARD
State Allowance for Windsor Expected.
By United Press LONDON, Feb. 4-—Cabinet mine isters are looking forward anxiously | to strong Parliamentary opposition | to a State allowance for the Duke | of Windsor, it was understood today. | Reports were that the Cabinet | discussed the problem at two meet« ings yesterday without reaching a decision, but knowing that a decision must be made soon. The possibility has been consid« ered of arranging for King George VI to make an allowance from his own funds for his brother. A sum of between £20,000 and | £30,000 ($100,000 and $150,000) a year has been mentioned as suitable, Whatever sum may be agreed upon practically the entire Labor membership of the House of Coms mons is expected to demand that it be halved. It was believed that many Conservative members favored a private grant by the King. As Edward VIII, the Duke of Windsor was allotted £410,000 ($2,« 050,000) a year in the civil list. Of this, he agreed not to draw £40,000 ($200,000) so long as he remained unmarried. But Edward's income, aside from any private means, was £370,000 ($1,850,000) a year. This he gave up when he abdicated because of his love for Mrs. Wallis Simpson. His private means are believed to be small,

And he hasn't shaved, either.” Mayor Lodwick said it was a pretty important question and with an eye on the publicity his health resort spa is getting, explained it would take time to look up the law on injunctions. “Well, if that General Motors man can get injunctions I guess I'm en= titleq to one, too,” Miss Hurlbut said. “Besides, there's the economic angle to my case, too.

Methodist Church national and district officials were in the fl area to make an estimate of damage done church property there, A national fund is being raised in the church to assist in rebuilding. Richard F. Allen, American Red Cross Eastern area manager, estimated that the Indiana housing rehabilitation cost from the flood would reach $2,000,000. The Lieber plan, advocated immediate construction of impounding reservoirs and flood control works in the headwaters of the Ohio River and its tributaries, as well as immediate reforestation and other measures to prevent soil erosion. At Evansville a two-story unoccupied brick building on the waterfront collapsed last night causing an undetermined amount of damage.
