7 THE INDIASAPOLIS TIVES | Indiana Plan Gets Rebuff |But Kern Keeps on Trying

Reopen After Holidays

"(Continued From Page One)

Girtwright and Mr, Austin together during tomorrow's visit. Elsewhere on the state coal front the governor's coal advisory chairman, Leroy Yoder, announced he would go to Washington Tuesday for a discussion with solid fuels administration officials on conservation steps. , The trip will be in response to an invitation by Dan H. Wheeler, deputy SFA administrator, extended to all governors’ representatives in every state, Mr. Yoder, who also is chairman of the public service commission, sald he would make use of the Tuesday meeting to seek clarification of the state's authority to act in the conservation and allocation of remaining coal supplies. The Indiana Plan, suggested to the governor -by The Indianapolis Times, calls for negotiation of a contingent contract between miners and operators in Indiana alone.

It is the hope of the governor that production® can be resumed at the state by next week, even though negotiation at the national level may remain stalled. Interior department approval of the plan yesterday cleared the way for Mr. Kern to offer return of the Indiana mines to their owners, ‘Meanwhile Senator Homer BE, Capehart (R. Ind.), revealed: in Washington that he had talked with John L. Lewis regarding the “Indiana plan” but “received no satisfactory reply.”

"Senator Capehart went to the White House yesterday for an “off the record conference” regarding the strike situation. Learing of Governor Gates’ “Indiana Plan” the senator said ~he heartily approved. 3 Senator Capehart arranged for the talk with Mr, Lewis through a mutual friend, Judge Oscar Bland, of the court of customs and patent appeals, Judge Bland is a former Indiana Republican congressman from the coal mining area. Another obstacle appeared today in the statement from the National Coal association in New York, {which said the operators would refuse negotiations until the Lewis quarrel with the government is settled. Governor Frank Lausche of Ohio, exploring possibilities of a similar move in that state, phoned ‘The Times this morning for details of Indiana plan. ‘ He expected tp consult Ohio union officers and mine operators there on their attitudes toward it.

I don’t know where the bullets went.” According to the confessions, Trooper Smith then crouched down on his heels and returned the fire, | shooting five times at the youths. 4 Farmers Hear Shots Then,. Trooper Smith staggered back to his police car, apparently intending to radio for help. Meanwhile, three farmers working in nearby fields heard the shots and ran to the scene. Oscar Jones, 54, of R. R, 2, Shelbyville, was only a few hundred yards away and witnessed most of the shooting. He saw the youths and their girl friends flee from the car into a cornfield. While he chased after them, Wray Fox, 40, and his son, John Fox, 20, working on their farms nearby ran to the scene and found Trooper Smith slumped in the seat of his car ‘with’ his empty revolver lying beside him on the seat.

The trooper was dead, with a bullet wound near his badge just above his heart. The bullet went through his body, emerging from his back. The younger Fox ran to a jarmhouse and spread the alarm by telephone and within a few minutes scores of persons were at the scene
