The post office, Mead said, is showing a profit.' If private enterprise could equal its record, there would be no employment problem, he claimed. Mead also expressed fear “lest we elect men who will balance the budget before the budgets of the workers of Americans are balanced.” Another United States senator, Patrick A.

Kxpect Debate Over Proposal (ALLS FOR SPONSORSHIP OF \MENDMENT TO LEGION CON8TITI TION BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Aug. 22. (UP) Heated debate was anticipated today over a proposal, reported to be in committee, calling for American Legion sponsorship of an amendment to the Legion constitution as delegates to the 2ls( annual convention swung into their final business
session.
The proposed amendment, according to usually reliable informants, would make all appointive offices of the Indiana department of the Legion permanent. Details on the proposal were not available at once. A close race for the office of state commander was expected between George Hish of East Chicago and Ray Townsley of Danville in the annual election. Both camps were con-
fident of early victory.
Among the resolutions expected to come before the delegates for adoption was one which would pledge Legion support to a movement to purge Indiana elections of dishonest and corrupt influences and practices. The resolution was sponsored by the Funkhouser Post of Evansville, larg-

Councilman Welch, Starr and Ensign comprised the city’s legislative body for the evening, with Mayor W. D. James presiding. City ClerkTreasurer Paul Grimes and City Attorney Marshall D.

thing of interest to them.
The claim ordinance, presented by Councilman Ensign, carried an item | of $60 for a new battery for the big | fire truck. It is super-sort of bat- i tcry, required for the heavy service demanded by the operation of the

An ascension to the roof of the Court House of Putnam county was made today by a Banner reporter, seeking something new, the visit up there being made just at this time because of the roof work being done by Fred Wiliams, who has the contract from the county for the job. Entrance to the roof starts from the fourth floor of the building by way of a steep little stairway leading up from the detention cell. It is not necessary to be an inmate of the ce 1 to get onto the stairs, nor ean a prisoner in the cell reach the stairs, but the foot of the steps are In the little floor area adjoining the cell
room.
As sixm as the reporter reached the floor of the attic of the building, an impassioned female voice waa heaid caking for help from some villain but no female was up there, ami the voice came from the radio located in the elevator cage, which runs to the third floor of the building, and the sounds produced by the radio as- | cended easily up the elevator shaft. The machinery by means of which | the elevator is operated is on the attic floor, immediately over the shaft. 1 The exit from the attic to the roof is by way of a short ladder to a trap door in the roof.
The roof is, of the same area as the ground space occupied by the Courti House, but seems much large, because the roof is so nearly flat that it seems to extend farther than th< ground floor of the building. The principle aesthetic purpose Ll seeking the roof Is to see the beautiful view from It. The face of the earth toward the east and south from the court house is limited to range, because of the altitude of the ground and screen of tree fo"nge, but at least threefourths of the encircling horizon is much farther away, the views toward the southwest, west, north and northeast being particularly fine. It all emphasizes the fact that Greencastle is almost surrounded by the

BELVIDERE, 111.. Aug. 22 (UP) Sheriff Perry Bennett announced today that he had jailed Harry S. Fisher, 53, Indiana metal refiner, who had reported that he was robbed of $ 10.0(H) in cash last night by two men and a ’’drug-crazed blonde." Fisher is the head of the Fisher Metal Refining Company of Valparaiso, Ind. He told Sheriff Perry Bennett that the men and woman had lured him into Illinois on a pretense of selling him two carloads of scrap brass and copper and robbed him last night on a highway two miles
east of Bclvidere.
He said the robbers threw away the keys to his automobile and sped

He said he received a telephone call .last week at Valparaiso from a "smooth-talking business man" who identified himself' as Ben Wolf of Cleveland. The caller, Fisher said, told him he knew a man who would sell him the scrap metal for $10,000 cash. He said he met Wolf at Val-
sunken lands adjoining Big Walnut | duced. The change, however, is not
enough to affect the levy which will remain at .82, one of the lowest city school levies in Indiana. The Library Budget, widen is also advertised in today's Issue, was reduced to the point where the levy was lowered
from .07 to .06.
Mr. Boston, superintendent, submils some conijrarutive statistics to show that the Greencastlc school corporation is anic.ng the few top cities in the state with respect to its financial capacity to support public education. For instance, one of the I lest indices of the strength of a corporation's school financial structure, is the amount of assessed valuation back of each enrolled pupil.

“It was the worst incendiary torch I have seen in 35 years in the department." Fore Marshal Thomas Gaffney said. “It was an act of God that it was discovered in time. If it had been ignited every one in the building would have been trapped

hy Councilman Welch was an dinance fixing the pay of members of the city fire department and police department for 1940. This ordinance also was adopted by the council. These ordinances were pre- j I pared by City Attorney Abrams. j The budget, whose outstanding | i features have been set out in the 1 Daily Banner, is based upon a valuation in the city, for taxing purposes. which is $15,000 less than the valuation upon which the 1939 budget was based, hut there is nevertheless a net decrease of one cent in the city tax levy. The valuation this year is $3,575 081. There were some other changes in the amounts in funds, but. generally speaking, the new budget is very much like the budget in effect this year It will j go to the county tax board for ap-
proval, next month.
The levies proposed for the city and the amounts to be raised by those levies are as follows: General fund Levy $ .75 on each one hundred dollars of valuation, to
produce $26,685.
Park fund Levy $ .065 to pro-
duce $2,329.
Airport fund Levy $ 01, to pro-
duce $321).
Bond fund Levy $ .035, to produce: $1,229.50. Total tax rate, $ .86. to produce
$30,602.50.
There are 858 polls in the city, taxed at $1 each. The total amounts of taxes collected in past years as shown on the “comparative statement of taxes collected ami to be collected" on the

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 22 (UP) Gov. M. Clifford Townsend Dalny considered a recommendation by a special study committee tha' steps be taken by the 1941 legisla-
ture to legalize organization of group | {'j
hospitalization insurance plans. The group, headed by Earl C. Wolf, president of the Indiana Hospital Association. was organized to determine whether or not such insurance was legal at present. In its repott \ submitted yesterday, it indicated that the legality of this particular type of group insurance was in doubt. The report recommended that no further action be taken on the matter until the 1941 legislature con-
venes.
