WARNINGS ON COOLING UNITS | MAILED BY CITY|
Building Owners Asked to Turn Them Off During | Heavy Showers.
Warnings to building owners oper- || ating air-cooling units were being || mailed today by the City Engineer's office.
Recent heavy rains combined with the large amount of water dis-} charged by air-cooling units in the downtown area have overtaxed sewers, causing back water to flood |] “numerous basements particularly in the downtown area,” according to M. G. Johnson, City Engineer. } The large amount of water discharged into City sewers from airconditioning units has long worried § City officials. “It is a problem that all citles | are now faced with and none of them has found a practical solu-| tion,” Mr. Johnson said.
91,000-Gallon-an-Hour Rise
The seriousness of the situation is indicated in the recent annual] report of the Indianapolis Sanitary | District. The increase in conditioning units raised the load on City sewers 91,282 gallons an hour last year above the average hourly load in 1937, the report said. The increase in sewage volume § taxed the sanitation plant's secondary treatment system to the} maximum, the report stated. The Works Board recently abandoned the idea of levying a tax on waste water dumped from numerous downtown air-conditioning units but no decision has been reached. Believe Water Line Lower

“If we receive the co-operation of jo.
the unit owners I believe this shutting down of units during heavy rains will enable the present sewer system to handle the load adequately,” Mr. Johnson said. «If the mechanical cooling units which are becoming more and more | popular reach the point where they | are as economical to operate as the] well-water type, this problem will be solved permanently,” M . John- | son said.

he Toronto (Ont.) Star is sergeant-at-Arms. A forum on circulation problems was held when John McCarrens, president of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association, was {unable to attend and give his scheduled address. More than 300 gay, formally-at-tired delegates and their wives last night sang, danced and were entertained at the annual banquet at the Claypool Hotel. They stood and cheered when Mr. Estes was presented a laque honoring his services during the year. Their cheers doubled when the Association presented his wife with a bouquet of roses. Only one formal speech was given. Don Weldon, a newspaper carrier for the Newton (Kas.) Republican, spoke on “What My Experience As 8 Carrier Salesman Means to Me.”
Veteran Reviews History
“My newspaper route is making me healthy, wealthy and wise,” he said: “It teaches me punctuality, to support myself, and to render service to others. From it I learn to "accept responsibility. My route aids my formal education by ‘giving me experience I could not possibly get in the schoolroom.” Col. David Rose of Louisville, who assumed the presidency of the Association, reviewed the history of the organization. Yesterday Dr. George Gallup, di-
fl rector of the American Institute of Public ‘Opinion, told the delegates]
that he was “pretty sure that a middle-of-the-roader would be elected President in 1940.”
Sees Pull Toward Center
“There is a dominant pull toward the center in politics,” he said. “The Republican leadership is becoming more liberal and the trend among the Democrats is more conservative.” “One of the greatest shortcomings of our government is a confusion between men and issues at elections. One great service that our poll can render is to separate the candidates from the issue.” Another of the jobs the Institute can accomplish, he said, is to represent the unorganized majority of the people. Too much attention is iy to the articulate minorities, he said, “That people want old-age pensions is shown hy our polls,” Dr. Gallup added. “But they believe that $30 to $40 a month is enough.”
Tells of Trial Heats
If an election were held today, he said, President Roosevelt would have a hard time being re-elected. Trial heats being conducted between leading Republican candidates for the nomination and President Roosevelt show that the President and Thomas Dewey of New York— the 'G. O. P. favorite—would run neck-and-neck with Dewey having a slight edge. “A lot can happen between now and the convention, though,” he said. “That is why we are taking weekly polls on the trend.” Dr. Gallup has just returned from Europe, where he laid the groundwork for Institutes in all the major democratic countries. Hitler has seen the necessity of polling public opinion, he stated, and has three reporters for every block of 50 to 100 families. Hanson Ts Speaker The whole purpose of those polls are to make the people subservient to the Government, while here the polls are to make the Government subservient to the people, he said.

SONGS NO LURE T0 LEGISLATURE
Program Falls Through and Pensions for All Will Be $5, Not $30.
AUSTIN, Tex. June 22 (U, P.).— W. Lee O’Daniel, whose hillbilly songs swept him into office as Governor of Texas, had learned to his sorrow today that a state legislature cannot be lulled by music. The Legislature adjourned last night, and the program Governor O’Daniel had outlined was junked. His promise of a $30-a-month pension for everyone 65 years old or older was so deeply mired it appeared that pensions would be nearer $5 a month. Governor O'Daniel, a flour salesman with a flair for writing poetry and reading it on his radio programs, had campaigned against capital punishment. He said taking a life was against the Ten Commandments. But the electric chair was still in use, and the Board of Pardons and Paroles had even scrapped the tradition against executions on Sunday because of a row with the Governor.
Press Conferences Halted
Governor O’Daniel had promised that he would fight a sales tax. The closing sessions of the Legislature, however, found him pleading for a sales tax. His pleas fell on deaf ears in the legislative chambers. What Governor O’Daniel thought of these setbacks could only be guessed. Early in his administration he got into an argument with

Earlier in the day the State had rested its case after Mrs. Gray, widow of the slain man, had testified. “In the argument (last March) Gray saw a gun in Medberry's pocket,” Mr. Munson said. “He snatched the weapon with his left hand, and as he lunged at Medberry, the gun discharged.” The salesman’s body was found several days later in the garage.
