were injured in accidents and complaints about - inadequate supervi-
sion were received by the park de-|
ent. Lloyd A. Pottenger, parks superintendent, pointed to the manpow-
er shortage and the tremendous|
amount of extra work causéd by the floods in answering the complaints. | Adequate supervision was not available at all playgrounds and
wading pools because of many resig-|
_ nations, and reports from a few centers indicated that weeds and tall grass made proper usé of apparatus impossible.

‘ But the city recreation program will be in full swing before the end of the week, Mr. Pottenger said, “Every man worked night and day in that battle against rising water, and emergency repair work affer the flood required labor unting to many additional hundreds of manhours. Last-minute resignations of several playground instructors and wading pool attendants added to the disappointment of many youngsters. “Many persons who attended our training school and accepted appointments have taken betterpaying jobs in industrial plants. In some cases they didn’t even take the trouble to inform us they would not report Monday morning,” Mr. Pottenger explained.
COAL QUESTION NOT SETTLED?
Hint WLB Decision Avoids Portal-to- Portal
Pay Issue.
WASHINGTON, June 15 (U. PJ). ~The war labor board decision in
the United Mine Workers’ wage dispute may leave the underground
travel pay issue unsettled, in-
formed sources indicated today.
These sources pointed out that
Wading Pools Open
All wading pools will be open by late this afternoon, he added, and only one or two of the playgrounds require more than a few days of work. Only minor injuries were recelved by youngsters at the playv /
grounds. Lucille Wilson, 10, of 426% W.
gards the union: demand for portal-to-portal
Chairman William H. Davis recontroversy over the
(underground travel) pay as an attempt to settle a legal claim out of
court.
An out-of-court settlement pre-
sumes willingness to accept by \both parties, but observes ddéubt that U.M.W. President John L.
Merrill st., was cut on the forehead when she fell from a swing at 901 Oliver ave. Robert Allison, 9, Beech Grove, received a cut on the right knee while swimming at Willard park
Lewis would accept any settlement in line with the publicly expressed views of the board... He has repeatedly flouted the board and refused to recognize its jurisdiction.
Reached Tentative Agreement
The union based its claim for portal-to-portal pay on a federal court decision , interpreting the wage-hour law. Davis said he thought the union could claim nothing under the law unless the average miners’ travel time exceeded five hours weekly—the difference between the miners’ basic 35-hour week and the basic’ 40-hour week of the wage-hour act. The U. M. W. originally claimed that travel time averaged 90 min= utes” a ‘day, but Lewis agreed to a figure of one hour in reaching a tentative agreement with central Pennsylvania operators’ last week for $1.30 daily in portal-to-portal
pay. If the WLB accepted the one-hour figure and allowed no payment for travel time under 40 hours a week, it would award no portal-to-portal pay for a five-day week and a maximum of $1.50 a week (for one hour at an overtime rate on the sixth day) for the present six-day week.
Policy Group Meets
The WLB resumed consideration of the case today after a two-day lapse. It is expected to release its decision today or tomorrow. If the union refuses to accept the decision, it will leave the threat of a new work stoppage next Monday hanging over the coal fields. The U. M. W. extended its old wage contract to June 20 when it ordered the miners back to work last week after a five-day stoppage. ‘The U. M. W. policy committee meets tomorrow and-presumably will discuss its course of action when the deadline expires and how enactment of the Smith-Connally anti-strike bill might affect a new stoppage.

Bonnie Lee Schindler, 5, received cuts on the foot when she stepped on glass near the wading pool opposite her home at 720 N. Spring st. After her mother reported the glass, police investigated .to see whether any was in the pool, but found it only in the grass nearby. Three boys, 8, 10 and 12, were caught at Willard park. by the night watchman, Arthur Duncan, after they broke down a 10-foot| Jap i tree in the park. They were urned over to the juvenile department.

‘A ery is going up from the armed forces and from civilains in
every walk of life “for something that truly abides,” Bishop Fred L. Dennis told Hoosiers of all denominations this morning in the First Baptist church. . - Bishop Dennis delivered the keynote address, “God’s Truth Abideth Still,” at the opening of the 79th ual convention of the Indiana uncil of Christian education. A tal of 1000 laymen, teachers, ministers and guests, from the city and state, are expected to register for the meetings. - Bishop Dennis is hte president of the new state council of churches of which the education édouncil is a department and he hag jurisdiction over the Northwest United Brethren area. The war has shaken mankind and destroyed his complacency, Bishop Dennis said. .In peacetime, men jogged along without feeling a great need for God, but now that war has scattered our sons to the islands of the South seas, and the tundras of the frozen North, and consigned others to the ocean “with the dark blue waves as their shrouds,” the religious picture has changed. : “There is a crying need for God. And it is the duly of the church to meet the need with precept and example, the bishop declared. “Everything changes but God; even man’s conceptions of religion change. But God remains the same, always ready to satisfy man’s wants in whatever changed state man may be. “The need for this hour is for more men and women who. believe profoundly that .God, ‘who is the spirit of truth, abides. Truth is the photograph of God. Truth reveals the principles of life which inhere in Diety. And Jesus is the norm, his character the goal, for all to strive to reach as they remember his words: “I am. the way, the truth and the life. « «+ . I and the Father are one.’ ” Greetings were extended this morning by Governor Schricker, Dr. Carleton W. Atwater, Dr. Howard J. Baumgartel and Mrs. Asa Hoy. Dr, Edward R. Bartlett, president of the Christian Education council, presided. : Chaplain Arthur 'S. Dodgson of Stout field was to speak this afternoon on “The Service Man and Christian Education” and questions as how to increase Sunday school attendance and the new religious education law in Indiana were to be discussed. Conferences will be held daily for leaders of adult, youth and children’s groups. A mass meeting in Tomlinson hall this evening at 7:45 will bring the first day of the convention to a close. The meeting will commemorate the planning of the first uniform Sunday school lessons in Tomlinson hall, 70 years ago. Dr, J. Raymond Schutz, longtime worker in the field of Christian education, will speak on “Facing the Future With Our Heritage of the Past” and Dr. A. H Backus will show steréopticon views of “Heroes of Yesterday.” Prof. John M. White will lead the worship in song and the Rt. Rev. R, A. Kirchhoffer, bishop of the diocese of Indianapolis, the devotions.

“The suspension is the first ordered for any grocery in this area. It resulted from the OPA charge that the Elkovits market charged from 2 to 12 cents over ceiling prices and posted the wrong point values. The order foll a hearing here yesterday before Frederic S.

The market will be allowed to sell coffe and sugar during the suspension period and if district OPA officials give permission, can sell perishable goods after June 256 if necessary to prevent spoilage.
