Tndiana's relatively cool weather will continue today, the Weather Bureau predicted, but temperatures may rise to the mid-80's. Today's temperatures should be five to eight degrees cooler than yesterday's high of 90. These conditions will prevail over the state in general as well as in the central portions, the weatherman said. . . The cool nights with warming daytime temperatures are the result of a large dry air mass extending from Canada to as far south as Nashville, Tenn, the bureau pointed out, and will probably be with us for another day. An-inflow of warmer moist air from the South may follow, forecasters added, but there is no definite indication of a rain outbreak.
Extending its weather outlook,
the bureau predicted temperatures of three to five degrees above nor-
mal for Indiana and Illinois dur- d
ing the next five days. ; Although little temperature change is forecast for tomorrow, Thursday and Friday should be warmer With some showers over the week-end, the bureau predicted.

Prepare New Affidavit
In Juvenile Sex Case
State police said today they are planning a meeting with the county - prosecutor to prepare a new affidavit against the former Marion County Juvenile Center superintendent who has admitted intimate relations with two girl inmates at the institution. County Prosecutor Judson IL. Stark explained that the new affidavit charging the superintendent, Edwin B. Lowell, with rape was necelsary because of “legal technicalities.” The case probably will be referred to Criminal Court 1, Mr. Stark said. Lowell, who is 39, admitted being intimate with a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old girl at the Center after intensive questioning by state police last Friday night. He

Speedway Taxes County Reviewers
Override Protests
First major cuts in Marion County’s budgets and tax rates were made today by the Marion County Tax Adjustment Board. Over the protests of Speedway City officials, board members reduced Speedway’s proposed tax rate for 1049 from a requested $1.14 to 95 cents: This is an increase of 24 cents over-the current levy. The ‘board made the reduction by slashing Speedway’s proposed general fund working balance from $20,000. Members of the dway advisory board said: “We are a rapidly expanding community and we will not be able to make it on that reduced budget.” C: 8. Ober, chairman of the adjustment board, replied that the cuts “will not hurt your spending program because we merely reduced your working balance.” The adjustment board drastically reducéd the proposed Beech Grove levy of $181 to $1.64. The approved rate is still 23 cents higher than the present levy.
