CBN. “CASE DROPPED,

Members of Wedding Party Discharged by Judge.

No noise: isn't necessarily - good noise, decided Municipal Judge John L. MeNelis ‘yesterday in ruling that a wounded overseas veteran has a right to whoop it up a little on his wedding night. The judge summarily dismissed

charges against three automobile drivers, accused of “unnecessary horn-blowing” as they circled the Monument on March 24, Those handed stickers by Patrolman Forrest Euliss had been part of a marriage celebration in behalf of Cpl Alvia DuRee, 2116 Prospect st.,,'a purple heart survivor of the Normandy beachhead and St. Lo.

Patrolman ‘Embarrassed’

“Patrolman 'Euliss must have ‘had a sudden brain storm and possibly used bad judgment in this- case,” observed Judge McNelis. . “But I want it understood he's one of the best policemen on the force. Now he's very embarrassed about it.” The patrolman did not appear in court although Mayor ‘Tyndall had originally stipported, his anti-noise sentiments. : ? The three ‘sticker-holders, who were accompanied by Cpl. DuRee were John Coffin, 1405 DeLoss st., and Joseph DeCenzo and Bernard Taylor, both of 235 S. Walcott st.

All concerned left court with “no |

hard feelings,” they said.

Homes Looted By Freed Slaves Leaving Reich

By RICHARD D. M'MILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent

WITH BRITISH 2D ARMY, Germany, April 4.—Hordes of

liberated slave laborers trekking across Germany are taking revenge on their former task masters and terrifying the German people. Free to roam among the people who made them suffer for years, some liberated laborers are turning to violence while others are more pracfical in their vengeance. n o » THEY NEED food for the long trail back to their hones, so they help themselves. They take bedding and blankets for sleeping in the fields. If they can find horses and wagons which the wehrmacht did not requisition, they harness them and set off. It is a common sight to see frantic Germans rushing across fields screaming: “Come help us, The robbers have taken our food. The slaves are burning our homes.” ” » n THE BRITISH do what they can but the problems are far to vast for them. The Germans do not seem to see ‘anything incongruous in appeals to their conquerors for help. a Last night a group of German farmers came td our billet and said: “Please come. The slaves drank all our Schnapps and. ney, are “attacking our fanilien? SA ” = TROOPS evened and restored order, but explained to the Germans: : “You brought these people here as slaves. You have only yourselves to blame.” Already thefe are- hundreds of thousands of liberated laborers

the Germans- shipped in 15,000,000 slaves from every corner of Europe to work for them.

TR SALARY RAISE

Requested Here.

vancement to the next pay grade will board this month. The request for salary boosts, |

made yesterday by the salary com-| mittee of the Federation of Indian-| apolis Public School Teachers, headed by Paul Carmichael of | Washington high school. Pointing out that the approval of | the request would increase teacher efficiency and morale, Mr. Carmichael said that the proposed raises should be considered because of the 30 per cent cost of living iricrease sihce 1939.

Says Increase Not Enough

Teachers have received average pay increases of $643 since 1939, when the average teacher salary was $1917, but he said this increase was not sufficient to meet heavier taxes and living costs. Mr. Carmichael reported that Indianapolis rates fifth in the state in current average teacher salaries of $2560. Ft. Wayne*has an average of $2064, He added that Ft. Wayne is considering pay boosts of $350 to $700.° The salary committee also urged that the present maximum on the teachers’ salary schedule be raised effective Sept. 1 for the benefit of all local teachers.” It proposed -a plan whereby teachers would get automatic annual pay raises based on years of experience, starting with $1700 for the first year and ranging up to $3800 for 22 years.

ASK IMPROVEMENTS FOR JUVENILE COURT

A project to spend $30,000 to decorate the new quarters of juvenile court has been announced by Judge Mark W. Rhoads. Request for the money will be made to the county council which already is faced wtih a request from county commissioners for $10,000 to build a fire escape on the building at 148 E. Market st. The state fire marshal has declared present fire escape facilities inadequate, Judge Rhoads said yesterday his project provided for $3800 worth of carpets to create a “homelike atmosphere,” $9100 for other .furnishings and $12,600 for construction work. Councilmen expressed concern over spending this money on a building not owned by the county. An annual rental of $12,000 is paid for the building on which about $20,000 already has been spent for
