uring the fast campaign, but had Withheld it on the theory that it ‘might be construed as a “boondoggling measure.”

Kunkle With OPA

Mr. Kunkel, now with the OPA, said he didn’t understand how the present city engineer could have

made estimates and drawings of the suggestions “in the short time he has been in office.” He said the work had consumed a considerable portion of Mr, Johnson's time. . He added that since forwarding the co-ordinated Indiana plans to the Federal Works Agency last year, he had heard nothing more about them. The Public Works Reserve was abolished about a year ago, after many plans had been obtained, because, Mr. Kunkel said, “it then appeared as if post-war suggestions ‘were immature.” ; .. He added that now, however, Y¥seems to be a very propitious time ‘for talk of post-war planning.”

(Continued from Page One)

The purpose of the public work reserve, Mr. Kunkel said, had been to “urge Indiana cities to program receipts and expenditures of proposed post-war activities and to co-ordinate financing of municipal programs into a five to ten-year after-war state program.” .

Worked With Units

He said the agency had worked in co-operation with city and county departments and with the state highway and conservation departments. Altogether, Mr. Kunkel reported “several hundred million dollars’ worth of post-war projects itemized and blueprinted for Indiana under the now defunct agency. He pointed out that he had received enthusiastic co-operation from cities and counties throughout the state, ‘and that many of them now had under advisement plans to expand not only their municipal facilities, but their school city facilities as well.

PERRY AND DECATUR LINE MOVED AGAIN

After a ten-year legal fight over changing the boundary line between Perry and Decatur townships, Special Judge John H. Morris today ordered the boundary put back where it was originally 10 years ago. The ruling was given on a suit brought by the Indianapolis Power and Light Co. whose $8,000,000,000 property had been put in Perry township instead of Decatur where it originally paid taxes. The light company had asked a declaratory judgment to determine to which township it should pay taxes. Ten years ago county commissioners voted to change the boundary line along White river and put the light company properties in Perry township. When the change was upheld by the Indiana supreme court more than a year ago, Decatur township lost more than half of its taxable property valuation and, as a result, the township’s tax rate was tripled last year. The 1943 legislature passed a law providing that the boundary be put back where it was originally. Judge Morris’ ruling today upholds that law. Attorneys representing Perry township announced they will appeal the decision to the Indiana

supreme court.

since May 23. The damage and casualties resulting from the raids has led the German government te order the evacuation of 3,000,000 civilians from the area, according to Swiss reports, The bombers concentrated on an important industrial area of the western half of Wuppertal, known as Elberfeld. The initial raid May 29 was directed against the eastern portion, known as Barmen, and the air ministry later announced that reconnoissance showed Barmen had been “practically wiped out.”

The weight of bombs, ranging from two-pound incendiaries to 8000-pound super block busters, unloaded over Elberfeld was nearly as great. as the “1500 tons delivered to

Barmen, the air ministry said. Targets at Elberfeld include the

ical works, the Jaeger roller bearing works and several important textile factories, as well as many smaller industries. tn The raid marked the sixth consecutive night that the royal air force’s four-engined bombers have pounded ts in Adolf Hitler's European Fortress and brought the total ‘tonnage of bombs dropped by British and American planes in this theater during that period to at least 6100. ¥ The European aerial offensive was rolling forward at a greater rate than ever before.

The German radio described last night's attack on Wuppertal as a “terror raid” in which large numbers of explosive and fire bombs were dropped at randem on residential quarters. A city of 411,000, Wuppertal lies 15 miles east of Dusseldorf, one of the most-bombed cities in the Ruhr. yn

operated mines, and perhaps seizure of union assets.

Reaction to the Washington sit-

uation ranged from a flat refusal by Ohio miners to resume work-

ing, to an increasing back-to-work movement in the Pittsburgh area and a prediction by U. M. W. officials that operations will be nearly normal by Monday. Determined picketing started in Fayette county, Pa., where minor disturbances were reported yesterday. Augmented law enforcement officers were on duty.

Angry at Lewis

Resentment of the miners was directed not only against Ickes and against President Roosevelt's order, but in some quarters against Lewis himself. “John L. Lewis is through playing the big shot at our expense,” said Ralph Smith, president of the Grindstone, Pa., local. In Shenandoah, Pa., the central labor union voted a general holiday “until the union tells us what has happened and the government sends someone to ‘check food prices.” Adolph Pacifico, U. M. W. vice president of district 6, reporting that no miners are working in the eastern Ohio coal fields, said government operation of the mines “has just been a joke,” and that the miners would not return until the government actually begins to operate the pits.

Ten Furnaces Closed

Such confused attitudes prevailed among the rank and file workers despite the U. M. W. policy committee’s back to the mines order issued Tuesday night. The order stipulated that work would" continue until Oct. 31 only if the government remained in control of the mines. Although U. M. W. officials in the Pittsburgh area were encouraged by the return of 20,000 more miners, for a total of 40,000 out of 125,000 miners there, the stoppage will have cost the steel industry about 16,000 tons of pig iron by tonight.

will ask the jury to sentence White to death in the electric chair, : After six hours of closing arguments, White's: fate will be put in the hands of the jury, probably around 6 p. m. today for deliberations: ; Possible verdicts include convyiction of first degree murder which carries the death sentence; second degree murder which carries life sentence; manslaughter which provides for a sentence of two tq 21 years in prison, or acquittal. Evidence was eompleted last night after two more psychiatrists, Dr. L. D. Carter and Dr. T. Victor Keene, appointed by Special Judge Edwin McClure, testified that they believed White was of sound mind. The surprise alibi testimony of Glenn H, Ellis that he, accompanied by Leland Crampton, 2926 W. 10th st., saw White drunk at a tavern seven miles away from the scene of the murder near the time fixed by the state for the fatal shooting of Mrs. White at her home, 605 N. Grant ave. Oct. 2, was refuted on the witness stand yesterday. Mr. Crampton, called to the stand to corroborate Ellis’ testimony, denied that he saw Ellis on Oct. 2 and denied that he ever saw White. The state will rely chiefly on the testimony of Robert Ederle, 17-year-old nephew of Mrs. White, for proof of first-degree murder.

Tells of White’s Threat The youth testified that he visited the White home on the afternoon of the murder, saw White sitting riear a rifle, and that he heard| White say he was going to use the gun on his wife. Also the state will argue the contents of an alleged “confession”| which police said White voluntarily made the day after the murder, Defense attorneys, who did not put White on the stand in his own defense, said they will argue that) the defendant was temporarily ine

tee today named a subcommittee to investigate the navy’'s rescinded contract with the Standard Oil Co. of California for development of the Elk Hills, reserve, with a possible view of drafting legislation to legalize the contract. ! The subcommittee was set up after Secretary of Navy Frank Knox testified there is “every likelihood” of a serious shortage of crude oil from American sources for navy use this year and “most certainly next year.” He said the Standard Oil contract represented a “pretty darn good deal” and a “sharp re-, duction in public expenditure” over alternative plans for developing the : | ofl reserve,

frankly acknowledging there could be only two outcomes of the “battle of the Ruhr”: “Either the morale of the people will break or hatred will grow which can be assuaged only by reprisals.” \ A German war reporter said the damage inflicted by the Luftwaffe on Rotterdam and Calais were nothing in comparison to‘ what he had seen in western Germany. A few German planes crossed the southeast coast of England last night and bombs fell harmlessly at one place, a communique said. British intruder planes on nightly forays over western Europe were credited with shooting down an enemy aircraft over Holland. et ented tbo ttre mt

The largest strike involved 2500 brick and clay workers (A. PF, of L.) in 20 Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiang pipe manufacturing plants. The walkout started eight days ago when the workers demanded a wage increase. At Crystal City, Mo., the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. plant closed last night as 1250 workers asked a 48-hour week instead of a work week of 28 to 30 hours. The management said there was not enough material for full time operations. At St. Louis, 8 jurisdictional dispute resulted .in the walkout of 120 electrical cranemen (C.

Twen-ty-one bus drivers at Greensburg, Pa., continued their strike, called Monday, against the Pennsylvania Transit Co. for a change in schedules.
