* "he commission merchants paused in their examination of the avoca-

"Christmas trees are due in Indian- "= apolis this week.

~The Yule pines and spruces come from distant lands because in the

matter of Christmas frees Indiana . turns its back on itself.

The Indiana cedar, which grows on the hills downstate, is marketed,

the merchants say, but the demand |S

ds limited

"One merchant is awaiting the 3

~ arrival of a carload of spruce from

= Maine, a carload of fir from Mon-

tana and a carload of balsam from Nova Scotia.

Cut Three Weeks Ago

" He said they were probably cut about three weeks ago. The time since then has been taken up by sleding the trees down from the mountains to the railroad for loading and then the trip here. The | 4rees were ordered early this year. ‘The Maine spruce is a fine needle 4ree. The balsam has a long needle and is sort of gray. The Montana firs are sweet scented. . No pines? ° On commission house row they Bay a spruce is practically a pine and vice versa. - A carload of trees contains an “average of 800 bundles and the _bundles average about four trees. It 1s estimated that about 15 carloads _or about 38,000 Christmas trees are shipped into Indianapolis annually.

Up to 10 Feet Tall

The sizes range from about one foot high to 10 feet for the homes. Those 15 to 20-foot trees which clubs use are ordered special and the order goes right to the woodsman who wields the ax. Nurseries here are getting their ghare of the Christmas tree business anymore, too. Some people buy small evergreens, set them in tubs of water for the holiday season and then replant them when they're shorn of their ornaments.

DISMISS SUIT, BALL FOUNDATION ASKS

. A motion to dismiss a several million dollar suit against the George and Frances Ball Foundation was before Federal Court Judge Robert C. Baltzell today. In the suit) creditors of the Cleveland Terminals Building Co. seek the difference between the purchase price of the building company's oollateral and profits accruing to

Thompson & Smith, attorneys for the defendants, sets out that the court here has no jurisdiction. The

Court, the motion states, and the bankruptcy court thus has exclusive Jurisdiction. : &. The motion also states that the proper parties have not been named in the suit and if there is any cause for action the Cleveland Terminals Building Co. should institute it.
