Loyalty Members of the house appropriations committee were inclined to go slow in considering President Truman’s request for $24,900,000 for a loyalty check of federal employees. One member said it was “a lot of “money.” He wanted to know whether the President had proposed the best rand most economical way of doing the job.

By RICHARD LEWIS The concern which proposes tofurnish much needed water to Indianapolis' west suburbs 1s the Suburban Water Co. of Indianapolis. Ita proposal has met with an eager reception from residents of

“|the west suburbs. They have been

fighting to get. water service for 18 years. But the Indianapolis Water Co. sees in Suburban a threat to its post-war expansion plans, Hence, it has intervened in Suburban’s petition for a public service .commission permit to serve the area. Who and what is Suburban Water? At the moment, it consists of Elmon Williams, Indianapolis attorney; the engineering firm of Snyder & Wolford of Hillsboro, Ind, and an investment banking institution,

Sets Up Engineering : Mr, Williams is doing the legal spadework. Clarence L. Snyder of Hillsboro has done the promoting, set up the engineering data and tentatively arranged the financing. The investment banking institution would handle an issue of 5 per cent first mortgage bonds, with a discount of common stock. The actual structure of the concern would not be crystallized until the financing became a certainty, This, in turn, is dependent on

that it was “a declaration of war” against the Soviet Union. The vote was 287 to 107. Simultaneous with the house action, the new World Bank approved a $250 million loan to ald France in getting on her economic feet. The Unifed States has provided

World Bank and as the largest contributor dominates its operations, Reds Are Ousted Only . this - week the French Socialist government ousted the Communists—largest party in France— from the cabinet. French observers said success of the Socialist move was dependent ‘ upon = American credits. No. 4 on the list of nations tentatively earmarked for American financial aid is Korea. Her economic and political life has been frozen by division of the country into Soviet and American spheres. Estimates of the proposed aid for Korea run up to $600 million over a three-year period. The initiation of the Korean pro-

the outcome of Soviet-American negotiations opening at Seoul May 20. Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov today announced acceptance of an American formula for the participation of Korean political groups in Soviet-American discussions designed to lead to establishment of a provisional Korean government. The U. 8.-Russian deadlock over which Korean groups would be allowed to sit in on the -talks had brought negotiations to a complete stand-still for a year. Mr. Molotov’s reply to Secretary of State George C. Marshall noted that the United States was contemplating economis to Korea. It suggested that both American and Soviet plans for economic and political assistarice to the Koreans be considered at the Soviet-American conference. Concern Over Drift House passage of the Greco-Tur-kish aid bill was accompanied by a revelation that the state department is concerned over the drift of congressional and public sentiment with regard to U. 8. foreign policy. Mr. Marshall was said to feel that undue emphasis had been given to the military rather than the economic side of the American policy. He was also said to fear that congress might think its job was finished with passage of the GrecoTurkish bill. The Greek-Turkish aid bill had previously been approved by the senate by a heavy margin. Only slight differences in the provisions of the bill separated the

rsenate and house. They were ex-

pected to be adjusted early next week and the measure sent to the

Plan Water Tank

Prime mover in the west side water deal is Mr. Snyder, who has built: an engineering business by installing small town water systems in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. One of his systems is operating in Clermont. It was installed about 10 years ago. Mr, Snyder proposes to take 1500 gallons of water per minute out of the ground from deep wells in locations where underground water supply is constant. The Diehl Pimp & Supply Co. of Louisville, an industrial water engineering firm, has surveyed the area and advised him it can do the job. Mr. Snyder proposes to erect a 400,000-gallon elevated water tank 2 maintain even pressure. He has “can do” commitment on that

Have Refused Service

While his, proposal has the approval of civic groups in Wayne township, it is running into significant opposition from the Indianapoli§ Water Co., which eventually plans to serve the area, but has refused service until now. Suburban's ability to perform and its financing is now under scrutiny of the public service commission and the Indiana health board. Hearings on Suburban's petition will be continued’ Wednesday. The need for water is not in dispute in these hearings, but the controversy over who will supply it is now growing to the proportions of a battle between the Indianapolis Water Co. and the newcomer, At stake is not only water for the suburbs but the entire growth of the west suburbs which has been stunted without an adequate water supply.
