It was reported that the House Committee intends to recommend $280,000,000 for military highways, instead of the $125,00,000 proposed by the President. This would be broken down to include $150,000,000 for access highways for defense plants as well as camps; $100,000,000 for strategic highways such as the proposed Ft. Harrison-Ft. Knox route, and $30,000,000 for “flight strips” and parking places. It could not be learned from the Federal Works Administration whether plans call for construction of any of these “flight strips” in ‘Indiana, but such strips would be wide paved places along the roadsides and which could be used for emergency landing fields and other aviation purposes. The War Department also announced today that $13,305 will be spent at Ft. Harrison for fencing and floodlighting “critical” areas in and around the Indianapolis military post. A 10-foot non-climbable fence will be constructed at areas desighated as “critical.” These areas contain either buildings, housing vital supplies, such as ammunition and other ordnance, or dumps where these materials are not under cover. The fence will be of the steel chain link type topped by triple tiers of barbed wire.

parade, the unanimous verdict would - have been that you were crazy. Maybe everybody was. But everybody had a wonderful time and being slightly goofy helped. And after the abbreviated parade, the equivalent of two-thirds of the city’s population scrambled for street cars, busses, cabs and private automobiles for the wet journey home. Once in the comforting shelter of home, where everything seems so normal and standing three hours in the rain seems so silly, Indianapolis collectively took off its soggy clothes, hustled into pajamas and bath robes and relaxed. Today, the still-damp suits, shoes, hats, coats and dresses will be left for the cleaner. It is all over. It may never happen again. - But the fact that it did happen speaks volumes in favor of a group of citizens who risked pneumonia, or at least a new hat, to do honor to another group of citizens they have never seen before or may never see again. It will be talked about for

years. They Admire Indiana

The population moved in on the Circle from Meridian and Pennsylvania Sts. under a shiny roof of umbrellas. Men, women and little children slushed .through soaked papers which covered the streets and walks.

You just stood there in the rain and expressed your feelings about the situation to your neighbor who felt inclined to laugh at you as you did at him. There doesn’t seem to be anything wetter than a human being dressed up to see a parade and who has been rained on. At 7 p. m, the sidewalks along the line of march were filled. It was drizzling. Maybe it would stop. Maybe, everyone hoped. The bleachers on Pennsylvania and Meridian Sts. filled up by 7:30 p. m. They were sold out. Thousands

But the sodden onlookers put the crates over their heads. By 8:30 p. m., the crowd was getting restless. At 9 p. m., some people began to leave to the jeers of “Sissy,” “You can’t take it,” “Hey, come back here and get wet.” - At 9:15, the police broadcast car cruised south on Meridian St. blaring: “If you are wet you might as well stay. You can’t get much wetter and the parade starts in 15 minutes.” At this point, the bleachers were half emptied, but cheering crowds began scrambling back to their seats. North on Meridian St. in a blear of misty light, the vague forms of marchers roared. The pdrade had started at last. Police motorcycles, red lights flashing, sloshed slowly through the wet, keeping the crowd back. Then came the parade marshal’s car.

About two inches fell during the same period at Terre Haute, causing serious flood conditions in the streets.

The rainfall was “spotty.” While 1.13 inches was falling in downtown Indianapolis, only .83 fell at Municipal Airport. Evansville reported only 33 of an inch during the last 24 hours. Except in the bottomlands where the flood waters washed out some crops, the heavy rains generally were described by Horace Abbott, Marion County Agricultural Agent, as having “done much more good than harm.” ; The only damage to crops was in alfalfa fields where the hay was either cut or -ready to be cut, he said. “Corn, wheat and other grains that had been stunfed by the May brought were saved by the rains,” Mr. Abbott said. “All the rain has been going into the ground instead of running off.” ; During the heaviest of the downpour in Indianapolis last night, most of the sewers were overtaxed and

Traffic closed in behind the marchers. The crowd in the bleachers rose and scampered homeward. The watchers on the curb turned away. The rain lessened for a moment and it began to thunder overhead. What a night! A great night!

sible for nearly 1000 Allison engine plant employees here to return to work within the next day or two, or as soon as a normal supply of parts is received. The Allison layoif resulted from a shortage of aluminum parts obtained from Alcoa. The engine plant had ‘been operating on a hand-to-mouth basis, receiving daily shipments of parts, and when the shipments stopped, one whole department had to be closed yesterday. Sioa officials said they were shipping to Allison ' today some parts completed just before the Alcoa strike was called. At Inglewood, Cal, where the Army commandeered the North American factory Monday, officers announced the plant was operating “100 per cent efficiency,” after U. A. W.-C. 1. O. members returned to their jobs yesterday. There was no indication when troops would be withdrawn. Workers returned for the same wages in force when they struck for 75 cents an hour for beginners, instead of the present 50 cents, and a 10 per cent raise for all others.

Machinists 0. K. Contract

A. F. L. machinists at San Diego, Cal, voted today on a proposed contract with the Consolidated Aircraft Corp. The agreement was reached while the union was conducting a strike vote. At Washington Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins certified the threatened strike of 1000 C. I. O. steel workers at the Curtiss-Wright Co., Pittsburgh, to the Mediation Board. The Steel Workers Organizing Committee -has threatened to walk out at midnight tonight in support of its demand for wage increases and a closed shop, the Labor Department said. The plant makes steel propellers for military airplanes.

Steel Elections Set

. The National Labor Relations Board announced that consent elections will be held June 25 at five plants of the Bethlehem Steel Corp. employing 16,000. The elections will be a straight “yes” or “no” vote on whether the workers want the Steel Workers Organizing Committee to Tepreseny them. The plants in. which elections were ordered are at Johnstown, Rankin and Leetsdale, Pa., Vernon and two in Los Angeles, one employing warehouse workers.

British forces in Europe today impressed on defense officials and aircraft manufacturers the need for creating vast reserves of spare parts to keep fighting planes constantly in the air. The officers spoke at yesterday’s

conference of aviation industry representatives, called by Navy Secretary Frank Knox, at which "Defense Production Chief William 8S. Knudsen appealed for a speed-up in production of warplanes. Predicting that the United States, by the fall of 1942, would be “producing more airplanes than any one else in the world,” Mr, Knudsen urged the manufacturers to use their machine tools’ “24 hours a day.” He said he suspected, “in a nice way,” that tools are not now being put to their full use.

Land'to keep 700 longshoremen out on strike until “our case is put up to President Roosevelt.” He and a group of union members held a stormy conference with Chairman Land with the union representatives accusing the Commission chairmen of being “unfair” and against labor. The union objected to action of ‘the Commission in taking over all 10 coastwise freighters of the Southern Pacific Co., ships which formerly sailed as the Morgan Line. The ranks of 12,000 International (C. 1. 0.) Woodworkers of America, on strike in Western Washington lumber camps and sawmills, were split over the Mediation Board's back-to-work-proposal.
