EMERSON AVE.
Plan Revealed at Hearing On Plea to Drop Bright-. wood Feeder.
Plans to eventually extend the Brightwood bus line to benefit residents of the Emerson Ave. area were revealed yesterday at a hear-
of the line’s feeder bus route. The hearing was held before the Works Board at the request of the Indianapolis Railways, sponsors of the proposal. Approximately 70 persons attended the hearing. C. W. Linder, president of the East 38th Street Civic League, said that his organization favors the abandonment of the feeder bus and the substitute offer of the Railways company to extend the line.
Urges Extension
In arguing for the extension, Mr. Linder said that the League hoped in the future to have the line “eventually extended to service those persons living near Emerson Ave. with a regular bus route.” A petition signed by a group who would be affected by ' the change, opposed the dropping of ‘the feeder bus and the extension of the line. Signers of the petition are residents of the section of Brightwood south of 30th St. . Arthur Haught, 3132 Forest Manor Ave., representing the opposing group, said that “some people will have to walk five to nine blocks if the bus line is abandoned.” Proponents answered that the residents are already in walking distance of adequate transportation facilities. “The feeder bus line,” Mr. Linder said, “is inadequate. If patrons miss the bus, they must walk along unimproved streets, which have no sidewalks, for several blocks to catch another bus or a trackless trolley. In bad weather this is both a health and an accident hazard.”
Withhold Judgment
Proponents of the plan assert that the extension will eliminate this difficulty. Works board members withheld judgment pending further study of the matter. However, no opposition was voiced to another company proposal to extend the trackless trolley line from its present terminus at 31st St. and Sherman Drive, north in “Sherman Drive to 34th St, and east to Forest Manor Ave.
DEER ASSISTED BY ~ NATIONAL DEFENSE
ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 19 (U. P.)—Adirondack Mountain deer are ‘benefiting by the national defense program. A survey of Rochester stores and those in other state cities reveals 8 shortage ot ammunition for hunters using rifles. Hunters reported a scarcity of the popular .348 and 30-06 caliber rifle shells. Uncle Sam, it seems, is the cause of it all. With the development of a large army in the country, ammunition makers and gun factories are devoting their energies to supplying rifles and shells for the U. S. armed forces.

ADJOURNMENT PLEA DELAYED
Move Starts in House After Walter-Logan Veto Is Sustained.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (U. P.).— Speaker Sam Rayburn announced at noon that House leaders probably would not seek sine die adjournment today. One Republican member, who was not named, was reported determined to block any request for unanimous consent to end the session... ’ The adjournment issue was raised by House Administration leaders after they had succeeded in blocking enactment of the Walter-Logan Bill. The bill, designed to provide Court review of rulings by quasi-judicial Federal agencies, was vetoed by President Roosevelt yesterday and the House sustained the veto. It was learned that the resolution which may be presented tomorrow or Saturday, would not be offered unless assurances were given that a record vote would not be demanded. Twice before Administration leaders have sought unsuccessfully to adjourn Congress.
Six Hoosiers Absent When Vote Was Taken
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Six of the 12 Indiana Congressmen were absent when the vote was taken on the motion to over-ride President Roosevelt's veto of the Walter-Lo-gan bill, the official roll call in the Congressional Record disclosed today. They were Reps. George W. Gillie, Forest A. Harness, Noble J. Johnson and Gerald W. Landis, Republicans; William T. Schulte and William H. Larrabee, Democrats. Present and voting to over-ride the veto were Reps. Charles A. Halleck and Robert A. Grant, Repub-
