The suit nfrhs vebued here'from .Morgan county by the defend int. Alleged pollution of White River, a stream flowing past a summer resort operated by the plaintiff, which pollution has made the stream dangerous to the health of occupants of cottages at her resott, is charged by the plain-
tiff.
The plaintiff alleges the pollution has (depreciated Imth the market and rental value of her property and has caused her huge lo.-so,, in cancellation of reservations and refusal of patrons to occupy cottages or to visit the resort. It is alleged the recreational advantages of the resort have been <lestinyed by the emptying of polluted matter into the stream causing the loss of a large annual income. death ofo. a. wfbstkk 0. car A Webster, fi5, dir. suddenly of healt trouble at his home in Gary, Monday afternoon. 1.

Putnam county taxpayers were elated Saturday following publication Friday of the ruling of the state supreme court that $62,459.31 set a^ide from the surplus gasoline fund in this county in 1933 for payment of county unit and township road bonds can be used fnr this purpose. No levy wa- made in 1933 by the county tax adjustment board, to provide fnr the payment of the principal hie on county unit and township road bonds which had been defaulted in 1933, but a levy was fixed in each township to provide for the principal and interest due in each taxing unit in 1934. Had the supreme court ruled the gasoline fund could not be used for retirement of the 1933 bond principal. holder.-, of the bonds would have been unable to collect the amounts due that >ear. Retirement of this amount in principal due in 1933 from the gasoline fund will relieve Putnam county taxpayers of being taxed for this amount in the future. Although County Auditor W. A. Cooper can take no action for sixty day, this time being require,) before the state supreme court ruling become; final, the fart that the money eventually will be applied on the bonds is sr.jVient cause for a relieved feeling among property own-
ers.
Greencastle township taxpayers will profit most from the court ruling, a tidal of $15,651.30 in principal on Greencastle township road bonds will be paid from the fund set aside. Out side of (lie $18,356 which will Ire ap plied to retirement of county unit road bonds, the^ saving to taxpayer* nf each township is a.- follows: Jackson $2,040.00 Franklin 2 049.64 Russell 2,498.90
CONGRESS SCHEDULED TO END SESSION TODAY WASHINGTON. June 16, (UP)Cnngress, weary and worn after five months of grinding labor, rushed down the home stretch today with leaders determined to bring its work to a close sometime during the day. The 73rd congress h i, established a rerord as one of the most effective in American history. It spent more money than any preceding congress >with the possible exception of the world war period. It charted America definitely along a new course, hitherto untried in the life of the republic. With such a recoivl and with only a few tasks remaining, eongrea.- was hut a few hours from tile final gavel taps which will send its members home to check up on what America reall ythinks of the “new deal.” Indefinite postponement of the threat of a paralyzing steel -trike lifted some pressure from the administrations’s new labor legislation, designed to clarify and trengthen the collective baiaginiiu provision.; of the national recovery act.

IWIN GIANTS m “NEW DEAL" OBSERVE FIRST ANNIVERSARY WASHINGTON, June 16. (UPl — The national recovery administration .ind the public w -rks administration are having a $3,0011,000,000 birthday party today. The twin giant of the new 'leal are one year old. Since June 16. 1933, Hie American people have paid slightly mote than $l(i,i|iit),00O a day to support these infants on the theory that they would grow 1 big and strong enough to knock out the dt pressicn. PWA has cost $3,300,000,000, all '»f which has been allotted to construct bridges, roads, buddings and every other unit known to the construction InrfusYfy. ‘ TV theory behind that pri'-rmous outpouring of fedral wealth is that a nation can spend its way out of i depression by putting money int,, circulation. NRA has cost $6,000,000 for its expenses aside from Incaluculable amounts it has cost the public in price increases. Wlist have these two emergency organizations, born simultaneously at 11:55 a. m. .lime 16, 1933, to show for the money they have soaked up NRA claims: 1. Three million unemployed have been put back to work. 2. Industrial payrolls have ri $3,000,000,000 (iinually. .3. There are 450 codes in effect which have improved working condi tions for 21 00(1,000 persons 94 per cent of American commercial and in dustrial population, 4. Child labor has been dealt a death blow. The other -ide of the NRA ledger
shows:
1. Labor i . restless. Threats of strikes aie heard in many parts of the nation and men have died in industrial conflict. 2. Henry Ford, who in many re--pects is typhal of American business I'evclopo en\ 1 mds aloof from the NBA experiment. 3. Little business men complain tnev are lieinc ;acrifked for the wel fare of hig buslnes.-, men aivl the D.riow report has cau-ed thousands of per-ons to doubt the infallibility Of NRA. 3. Fair ptactice provisions end price fixing stipulations ha\e been abandoned in even service codes as unenforceable. Today NRA voluntarily slidirates its power to force industr to accept codes. Its licensing power which Administrator Hugh S. Johnson called “a pistol on the hip"—1; to list only one ear. Johnson did not nsk to ha<e it renewed. FWA claim - to have given jobs to 2,00,000. It has allotted all its billions, but actual expenditures ■will continue for months. I’WA contends Hie country ha; only begun to get (he benefits from these expenditures. There are 650,000 men at work on I’WA’s 16,00n projects, but for each man employed directly there are two employed indirectly. They are working in forests, mines, mills ami factories producing the material used in construction project*. Administrator Harold 1* Ickes who has been passing nut about $160,000,000 a month, lists these as his major allotments: 1, $400,000,000 to the civil works
administration. 2. 323,000 000 to the civilian c mervation corps. 3. $100,000,000 to the farm credit administration. 4. $100,000,000 to the Public Woiks Emergency Housing corpora-
tion.
5. $50,000,000 tj Hie 'reMines-^c Valley Authority. 6. $25,000,000 to the subsistence homestead bureau. 1. $1,400,000,000 fdr federal const ruction project . 8. $1,000,000,000 in local governments for ‘‘construction in the public interest.’’ NK\, starting with 65 employes huddled into crumped quarters, has spread over the entire third and fourth floors of the huge department of commerce huilidng. There are now 2,000 employes.

PITTSBURGH, June 16 (UT)Threat of an immediate paralyzing steel strike was ended today, pending reception of labor’s compromise proposals which are to be placed directly before President Roosevelt in Wash-
ington-
A committee representing the Amalgamated Association of Tron, Steel and Tin workers, dominant ialior organization, will subnut the proposals to Hie President. If the suggestion -, which entail the :;ettuig up of a commission to supervise ail transactions between the companies and the men are rejected, the strike will be called imme.tiaitely. "It is patriotic action at this time to promote industrial peace; don’t let the steel barons select the battle field ami the method of fighting,” William Green, president of the American Federation of I.abor shouted to the 188 delegates who claim to reprr ent more than IttlJ/tftO of their ia* industry’s 420,000 workers. Green’., proposal, riming along lines of the revised Wagner bill which w-as introduced Friday in congress, except that it a ktri for majority rule in collective bargaining balloting, was adopted after changing of three words in the text. \nd the insistent demand of the youthful, aggressive “rank and file” group to definitely name June 30 as a deadline for acceptance «f the proposal by Hie president, congress ind the steel institute wa • amended to give the executive committee of the union full power to set the date of a strike, hi case the proposal is not ac-
