PANMUNJOM, Korea, June 2 (UP) — Communist truce negotiators today 'soft pedalled attacks on the United Nations for the second straight day.

Growing Little Rumor

Sets Town on Ears

WALCOTT, Iowa (UP)—One|

By JOE ALLISON A boost in traffic fines will be top item for City Council tonight. The increase, proposed by Mayor Clark and the city’s traffic experts;'has been hotly contested! by members of the council and opposed by the Indianapolis Safety Council, . Councilmen say they have received many protests on the proposed $20 fine for rush hour parking. The present fine is $2, The Safety Council has objected to the $20 fine saying that moving traffic violation fines should be at least as high as those for parking.

Boosts $2 Fines

Under: the proposed fine increase $2 violations would go to $5 and $5 fines to $10, Routine © parking violations would be increased from $2 to $5. An $80,000 bond issue to finance reconstruction of the Oriental St. bridge over Pogue's Run near St. Clair St. is expected to be approved tonight. Work on the bridge is due to begin as soon as the money from the bonds is available,

Politicians looked for another {political power play in Hamilton {County where William Fortune,

with the aim of embarrassing

porters feel Mr, Fortune is a threat to their campaign because convention delegates rarely nominate two men from the same sector. Present plans are to get the Hamilton County GOP organization to oppase Mr, Fortune. They may accomplish this but Mr. Fortune is still in a favorable position to win the nomination, because of his extreme popularity with GOP delegates.

Safecrackers kept it in the family, in the two major burglaries over the week end.
