New York Stock Exchange, told members of the Indianapolis Rotary Club that today people “are primarily concerned with the income they receive in dividends,” and are showing tess tendency to sell on short- term new developments. The Wall Street broker also took a slap at “the recent development of a socialistic philosophy which professes to see something unholy in profits.” . . “Profits is a good word, a clean word,. an American word,” he said. “The profit motive is a good ‘American motive to have.”

Public School Indianapolis Public School enrollments have swelled by 4000 pupils in the past 16 months. It is doubted, however, any of the schools will have to go on half;day schedules next fall unless the city’s annexation plan scuttles school programming for absorbing high enrollments, School Supt. Herman L. Shibler said the current enrollment is 61,605, 4000 higher than when he came here a year ago in October. The superintendent said the building program proposed by the school board would just about {keep pace with the rise in the pupil count, barring an additional load through annexation, Plan Annexation Already in the wind is annexa-) tion of a far North Side territory which would bring 18,000 additional persons into the city. The problem could be partially met, Dr. Shibler said, if it were possible to annex schools at the same time new families were brought into the city. This, he pointed out, is for the most part impossible because many of the schools lie outside those areas and are now reached By school busses. While the enrollments here have climbed 4000, new classroom construction has totaled 101. If an average of 35 pupils assigned to each classroom, the construction has provided. space for 3505 pupfls. of a 40 pupil average is used, thére is now room for 4040.
Heaviest in Grade School Heaviest enrollments, now are in the elementary buildings. This is followed by junior high with 9527. These figures plus
no cuts are expected—at least for| a while. An official of one rival oil firm said, “we don't intend to get-in-| volved in any price war.” Most| major stations sold gas at 1 to 3 cents above Sunoco’s new price! A spokesman for the Indiana Independent Petroleum Dealers Association said he did not expect jany general price war here. “I understand nobody has met Sun's price cut yet, but I expect some of them will,” he said.

Commemorating National Defense Week, which the Reserve Officers Association founded, the Indianapolis Chapter of that group sponsored a luncheon today.

Phone Firms May Fight PSC
Several major independent tele« phone companies today consid. ered challenging a recent Indiana
barring them from increasing ine trastate rates. The utilities raised rates to match a boost granted Indiana Bell Telephone Co. by Marion Cir cuit Court Judge Lloyd D. Claycombe. Their action was based on a P8C rule which permits connecting companies to “concur” with Indiana Bell rates. The PSC, however, ordered some 220 telephone companies to return rates to Jan. 1 levels, saying the Indiana Bell increase “was not approved by the commission” and probably would be appealed te the State Supreme Court. Indianapolis Attorney Albert M. Campbell, counsel for the United Teléphone Co. of Warsaw, said representatives of “eight or 10” independent companies were considering a court challenge of the PSC's “cease and desist” order.
