proved today by the Works Board.
Construction on the project, to be known as the 34th St. main
relief sewer, is expected to start County Sheriff Fred Davis Saturday after Grubbs at-
in about two months. Total cost is estimated at $1,067,155. Of this total, approximately $950,000 will be paid by the city through a bond issue.
Facilities Inadequate
Several building contractors have held up construction of 1000
to 1200 homes in the area be-|
cause sewer facilities were inadequate. They include homes . for rent as well as purchase. This project is one of two main relief sewers planned in that area and basically is designed to give storm drainage relief. The second project is the 37th St. main sewer intended to give storm and sanitary drainage relief along 38th St. That part of the sewer ordered
today will extend on 34th St. from]
Fall Creek to Temple Ave. Included in the design submitted today are lateral sewers to give local drainage.
Included laterals are in Schofleld Ave. from 34th St. to Trumbull 8t.; in 34th St. from Temple Ave. to LaSalle St.; in Tacoma St. from 34th to 33d Sts.; in Temple Ave. from 34th to 32d; in Kinnear St. from 34th to 35th, and in Caroline St. from 34th to near 35th. The design today is for the first section of this relief sewer. Two additional sections are expected to be ordered when designs are completed by the city engineer. The second section to be ordered will include an extension of the main sewer, southeast from Temple and 34th to 32d and Forest Manor Ave.
Repaving Is Plan
The third section will call for extension from 32d and Forest Manor, ultimately to 34th and Wallace Sts. City engineers have estimated that the sewer is adequate to serve areas on 38th St. to approximately Arlington Ave. They pointed out, however, that parts of that section are not yet in the city and cannot be served by this proposed sewer. Parts of the area may be annexed to the city. Included in the sewer plans is 8 proposal to repave 34th after sewers are laid. The second large sewer project for northeast Indianapolis may be delayed until next year as engineering help is needed.

both have said the transfer was arranged to ‘clear up a series of burglaries” in Bldomington. In a similar case, Indiana Suipreme Court Justice Frank Gilkison ruled “the sheriff has no right to release him (prisoner) to state police to be removed from jail and taken to police headquarters or elsewhere.” This ruling occured in the case of Bernard Seaton Dearing versus the state, Jan. 9, 1951. Earlier this week, Judge Chamberlin said he felt “very strongly” about the action of the prosecutor and sheriff in transferring the prisoner without a court order.

UN Artillery Brings Triangle Within Range
By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press Staff Correspondent TOKYO, Friday, June 1—Allied forces gained two miles on the east central Korean front Thursday but elsewhere their hot pursuit of the Chinese Communist army was stalled by rain, mud and increasing Red resistance, United Nations forces brought the great “iron triangle” supply bases of Chorwon and Kumhwa within artillery range but have not yet opened fire on them. Both sides regrouped for the next battle on roughly the same ground they. held when the Communists opened their ill-fated spring offensive five weeks ago.
Trails Still Open Allied forces attacked only on
a" narrow sector of the east cen-
tral front, driving to close the last miles of a trap around an undetermined number of Reds in the Inje area. ’ Some trails were believed still open to the Communists in the last mile of marshland and rugged mountains at the eastern
{ip of the Hwachon Reservoir.
The Reds fought frantically to keep the trails open.

To Appeal to Court “The increase authorized by the Public Service Commission is so far short of the company's need that an appeal will be taken to court,” he said. As a result of the increase, monthly telephone bills in 82 cities and towns in 46 Indiana counties could have risen 5 cents
lto 15 cents, depending upon the
service. * The average monthly increase could amount to 10 cents a month, On most one-party lines and business phones, the increase would
{average 12 cents and 15 cents.
First indication of the rate increase was disclosed in an exclu-
'sive story in The Times Tuesday.
At the time, the newspaper reported the PSC had agreed on an order granting the utility about $1 million.
Despite the earlier story, to-
day's formal announcement had
the effect of surprising most telephone company officials While they didn't expect to receive the full $82 million they asked, it was generally expected that the PSC would at least allow the utility about $4 million. Not in Their ‘Province’ its petition for a rate increase, the telephone company cited an impending income tax addition and a general wage increase. The PSC, while recognizing that the utility may soon have to pay higher income taxes and higher wages, declined to take these matters under consideration in deciding the case. The commissioners said it was not in

fairs of his archdiocese. He would °
have been 86 in August. Born in Mine Fields { The cardinal’s death leaves his nephew, the Most Rev. J. Carroll McCormick, as the highest ranking prelate .and only auxiliary {bishop in the Philadelphia arch'diocese. | The Most Rev. Hugh L. Lamb, ‘auxiliary to Cardinal Dougherty |since 1936, was appointed a week ago today as bishop of the newly
created Greensburg diocese in,
Western Pennsylvania. | Cardinal Dougherty rose from the obscurity of the coal fields to become spiritual leader of more than 1 million Catholics in the Philadelphia archdiocese. He was internationally known (as a scholar, “builder,” administrator and a friend and confidant of Popes. His travels carried him more than 200,000 miles into almost every corner of the world as emissary of his church.
Ordained in 1890
When he was elevated to the Cardinalate in 1821, he became the fifth American resident Cardinal of the church, climaxing a career which began when he entered a seminary at the age of 16. He was ordained in Rome in 1890, named bishop in the Philippines in 1903, returned to become bishop of Buffalo, N. Y.. in 1915 and ‘came home” to Philadelphia three years later as Metropolitan of the Archdiocese where he remained as Cardinal until his death. Dennis Dougherty was born in the mining town of Girardville, Pa.. on Aug. 16, 1865, the fourth child of Irish immigrant parents, Patrick and Bridget Dougherty. At 14 he decided to enter the priesthood. Turned away from the seminary because he was too young, he came back two years later and entered in a higher class.
Returns ‘Home’
, By the time he was 25 he had (his Doctor of Theology degree land was ordained in Rome. The young Father Dougherty seemed destined for the quiet life jof a scholar and teacher at St. {Charles Borromeo Seminary at IOverbrook, just outside Philadel\phia. Then, suddenly, he was named bishop of Nueva Segovia lin the Philippines, one of the youngest priests ever named to that high office.
