j By H. D. Quigg United Press Staff Correspondent ''NEW YORK, July 5 (UP) The government 'completed its ease 'against Alger Hiss in Federal court today. ' A he government's case was completed with the calling of one witness, who testified for 10 minutes as the sixth week of the trial began.

ington' on May 1, 1938, for a two year term. '. Hebb was the 10th government

Big Crowd Watches Jaycees Fireworks
A crowd estimated at about
6,000 persons watched the Junior Chamber of Commerce fireworks at the 4-H Fairgrounds north of the High School last evening.
The fireworks were the climax to the second annual Fourth of July celebration sponsored by the Jaycees. The crowds during the day were small and it is thought that the intense heat in the county and city kept persons away from the show unilt after the sun went down. Those in charge of the program said that as soon as it started getting dark the crowds began to gather on the grounds.

The big annual reunion will open Thursday with a mammoth parade and will continue through Saturday night with every kind of entertainment possible. There will be baseball games, sotball games, and the annual bean dinner at noon on Friday. There is one departure from the program of the past. Usually
FrMay night of the reuniskt ' was
devoted to' Republican . night, but this year that evemthas not'oc-;n scheduled. Mr. Followell sa'd that the Sullivan County B.rpublicans decided not .o hold their part of the, program because of the slight interest among Republicans in the county. Instead, Joseph Klein, of Hammond, chairman of the veterans affairs and military committee in the last General Assembly,
will discuss the soldiers bonus bill which the Assembly passed at a Legion Night celebration on
Friday night.
The Labor night speaker will
be Frank Aliah, of Kansas dry, an international board member of the Unitecf Mine Workers. Mr.

Following the talk by Mr.

(By United Press) ; ': The nation's week-end observance of the Fourth of July
and efforts to escape the worst heat wave of the year cost more than 800 lives in the heaviest holiday carnage in history, a final count showed today. ,
"This is a national disgrace, a National Safety Councl
official said. "It's shameful and disgraceful. Something must
be done." . . . -
The United Press tabulation showed that at least 804
persons died violently during the three-day holiday, more than the total casualties of the famed battles of Bunker Hill
and Ycrktown. The breakdown:
321 died on the highways. 277 drowned. 57 died from heat prostration. 18 died in airplane accidents. 131 died violently in miscellaneous accidents. V The searing heat which resulted in a sharp increase in
drownings and heat deaths, was expected to continue for at least three days.
Indiana paid a price of 38 lives
for its Fourth of July week-end, a United Press survey showed. The highways clajmed 18 live3 10 persons drowned, four died from heat prostration and six others died in miscellaneous accidents.
The Indiana highway death toll '-
was boosted by tw.a accidents, one Saturday night and the other early Sunday morning, which claimed three lives each. The total of 18 was one above the number which the Chicago' Motor Club predicted Friday would die in . Hoosier motor accidents during the long weekend. Blame Weather Safety officers -credited the unusually warm and humid days with much of the blame for the long death list. Highways were crowded during the week end as city dwellers sought to escape into the cool country. '
The temperature, which soared well into the 90's on all three" days, sent both rural and urban Hoosiers to beaches, , streams and gravel pits. Five of the nine drownings occurred yesterday. The Indianapolis General Hos--pital still had not identified one of the three men who died in

A Taft-Hartley victory would have heartened administration forces in Congress and the President, too. They might then have rammed more of their program through Congress. But with the Taft-Hartley defeat came a tremendous $1,800,00,000 deficit in the fiscal year just ended, along with bad economic news from Great Britain; which is the key foreign nation in the Marshall plan setup.
