McCarran almost upset the Administration’s carefully laid precautions against filibustering in a sharp floor clash yesterday. In a complicated parliamentary scrap, McCarran was overruled when he insisted that Senator Minton (D.

Opposition forces considered the ruling was likely to do them more good than harm in future debate. “In my judgment, Minton lost the floor,” McCarran said. “It is not of great importance, but it showed the temperament and attitude of those controlling the fight for the bill. “It showed that unfairness is being resorted to.

it was learned today. Charges were expected to be placed against Green of supporting a dual union by granting a federation charter to the Progressive Miners of America. The U. M. W, an affiliate of the Committee for Industrial Organization, was suspended from the federation last September, but has not been expelled. It is headed by John L. Lewis, C. I. O. chairman, once a close friend of Green but now a bitter enemy. Green said that several federation unions already have offered him a membership if he is expelled from the U. M. W. to which he has belonged for 40 years.

GECKLER RAISES

ALLOWANCE FOR COURT'S WARDS

Homes and Institutions to Get 75 Cents a Day For Each Child.

An increase in the rate of pay to private homes and community ine stitutions for keeping children who are made wards of Juvenile Court was ordered today by Juvenile Court Judge John Geckler. The present compensation is 65 cents a day per child and Judge Geckler, in an official Court decree, raised the rate to 75 cents a day, effective immediately. “The 65-cent rate was fixed at a time when the cost of food and other necessities was greatly under what it is today, and the Court now finds that an emergency exists for reconsideration of the rate,” the decree stated. “The Court finds that 75 cents per day is equitable for the care of all public wards placed outside the Board of Children’s Guardians home.” Institutions Listed

Privately maintained institutions that now are caring for wards of the Court include: Catholic Community Center, White's Manual Labor Institute at Wabash and Gibault’'s Home in Terre Haute. In addition there are dozens of private homes in which children are kept. Several are in the Children’s Bureau of the Indianapolis Orphans Home. Disbursement of the compensation for keeping these children is handled by the Marion County Welfare Department. The Children’s

Jurisdiction of the department. Weifare Director Thomas Neal said the rate increase would not affect all classifications of dependent children. Eligibles To Be Counted

“The number of children in homes and institutions eligible for the increase will be determined later,” he said. Judge Geckler's decree specified that the new rate “shall apply to all public wards of this Court outside the Guardians Home.” The decree further stated that the Welfare Department, County Council, County Auditor and Treasurer and the State Tax Board are “hereby charged with the duty of, and are directed to provide funds sufficient to pay for care of public wards at the rate fixed herein.”

The budget director that with new state aid to teacher units and other untried legislative | enactments, the State needs more | leeway in financing than previously. | Teacher payments based on a $500 annual unit expenditure are to be increased to $750 for the present fiscal year, Beyond the additional expenditures contemplated as result of new legislation, Mr. Brennan said the surplus would be used to reduce the tax levy. It was impossible to follow this practice this year due to the unexpected expenditures, but he said the balances would be utilized in the next taxing period. Mr. Sullivan indicated the sure plus might approach $19,000,000 although he said the $18,000,000 figure was “safe.” Excise collections totaling more than $4,000,000 are not included in the surplus, Mr. Brennan said. They are counterbalanced by a teacher units payment approaching $5,000,000. he pointed out.

PAY RAISE SOUGHT 8Y MUNICIPAL UNION

The Municipal Workers’ Union, a C. 1. O. affiliate, claiming about 1000 local City employees as members, will demand wage increases and seek a hearing with Mayor Kern soon, according to Chairman John Wagner. Mayor Kern said the Oity will maintain a policy of “nothing to say about employee affiliation.” He added that unionization of munietpal employees might become a problem in the future, pointing out that any contract must be on a yearly basis because of budgetary limitations. Mr. Wagner, discussing the union's proposed demands, said they would ask a general wage increase aver aging about 12 per cent for all monthly paid City employees and a minimum monthly wage of $100. The union will demand a minimum wage of 70 cents an hour for truck drivers, 60 cents an hour for common laborers, and two weeks annual

At least three suicides were traceable directly to heat. A scorching week-end was in sight, and with it the possibility of a serious increase in traffic fatalities and drownings as hundreds of thousands sought relief in the countryside. The Government's general forecast for the heat area was “generally fair” and “continued warm.” Local thunderstorms added to the already oppressive humidity, brought no general cooling-off. Forecasters said no general relief was in sight. Texas escaped the heat in cooling rains, Temperatures in the deep South remained seasonable, Boston reported 39 deaths up to midnight directly attributable to the heat.

Insect Scourge Adds to Midwest Crop Peril

By United Press WASHINGTON, July 10.—Continued hot, dry winds spread the threat of drought across the Midwestern plains today imperiling the best crop prospects in recent years, the Department of Agriculture reported. Insects present an additional menace to crops in many localities, the Department said. Weather the rest of ‘his month, the Department's crop reporting board said, will have a “strong bearing” on the outcome of the corn and spring wheat crops. Drought conditions have not yet become critical, the board said, but “the corn crop is urgently in need of rain in the Great Plains area and has been hurt by dry weather in parts of the South and was planted late in some Northern areas.” CGirasshoppers, Mormon crickets and stem rust have caused damage in sections of the Midwest, coms pletely destroying crops in some areas, Grasshoppers have been especially numerous in Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Nebraska, The Department said ‘‘the worst Mormon cricket outbreak in history” is taxing Federal and state resources in the Northwest and already has done considerable damage to crops in Montana, Wyoming, Oolorado, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, South Dakota and Oregon.

Rust Infection Widespread

The crop board said stem rust infection was widespread in the spring wheat belt and was a “threatening factor” in the Dakotas, Nebraska and West Minnesota. Hot weather in the South was favorable to the immediate growth of cotton after an unusually wet spring. Despite growing uncertainty of the effect of the weather on crops, with 1,520,327,000 bushels last year,

Spring wheat production was forecast at 218,646,000 bushels. The board said the condition of all wheat on July 1 was 712 per cent of normal on the 47,079,000 acres expected to be harvested, indicating an average yield of 129 bushels per acre. Winter wheat production was forecast at 14.1 bushels per acre and spring wheae 10.4 bushels per acre.

Big Yield Forecast Farmers planted 96,146,000 acres of corn, compared with 92,820,000 acres last year. The yield, however, was forecast 267 bushels per acre, compared with 165 bushels

TENTATIVE PAY RAISE PROPOSED

Good to Ask Teacher Salary Increase Despite Cut In Budget.

A. B. Good, Indianapolis school business director, today said le would recommend at the School Board's Tuesday meeting that a 5 per cent salary restoration be paid teachers up to Dee. 1, Mr, Good said he would make the recommendation despite a $218,654 slash made by the Btate Tax Board in the School City's emergency ape DP tapon for one-half year ending an, 1, The Bchool Board is expected to consider the Tax Board's action at its Tuesday meeting. Recently, it asked an emergency half-year aps propriation of $3,005,653. The budget was returned to the School Board today by the State Board, cut to $2,786,809, but approved. Reduction Unspecified The State Board made the cut because a 1937 legislative act provides that the new 1037-1938 budget must not exceed the 1036 budget without approval of the County Tax Adjustment Board. The Btate Board did not specify the items to be reduced when it slashed the emergency appropria« tion. As a result of the reduction, the entire Behool Oity budget must be reviewed by the Marion County Tax Board in September along with other taxing unit budgets. At that time, according to Mr, Good, the County Board will cone sider any budgeted item, such as teachers’ salary restoration, Thus, before the December teach ers’ payroll is made this year, Mr, Good pointed out, the County Tax Board will have reviewed the budget and the State Tax Board will have issued its order, Therefore, Mr. Ctood said: “My recommendation to the school commissioners would be that the teachers be paid at a contract sal« ary rate to Dee. 1 and any adjuste ments that are necessary by rea son of action by the County Tax Board or because of the Btate Tax Board order can be made in the December teachers’ pay. Order Held Obeyed “This action on the part of the school commissioners will not vio late, in my opinion, the order of the Btate Tax Board on the emergency appropriation.” “Following the adoption of the budget and the eraergency appros priation by the School Board,” My, Book explained, “the Board cons tracted with the teachers at a salary rate reflecting a partial ress toration of previous salary reducs tions for the school year 1937-1038, “The walary contracts provide that if such salary schedule is validly modified or changed by the County or State Tax Boards, the salary shall be changed to cons form to any modifications made in the salary schedules,” he added, W. Harold Gossett, -Indianapolis Federation of Public School Teachs= ers’ president, and Virgil Barnhart, past president of the group, both urged the salary restorations remain in the 1937-1038 budget as well as the emergency appropriation. Request Defended Mr. Crossett said the federation would defend its request for salary restorations, if necessary, before the County Adjustment Board when tha budget is considered in September, “Indianapolis teachers’ salaries ars below the level of other cities of 300,000 population. Out of 25 elties of 300,000 population this city ranks 20th in teachers’ po: ,” he added,
