HAMMOND, Ind., April 1.— (UP) —Hammond was not its usual ordery self today as it continued to herald ts Tech Tigers new Indiana state rasketball kings for the third con-
ecutive day.
Superintendent of Schools L. L Jaldwell expressed the general sentinent of the entire Calumet area vhen he said, “Nothing is too good
or this team.’’
Nearly 25,000 persons blanketed the railroad station platform yesterday to welcome the conquering heroes home, but they were temporarily thwarted. The squad left the train blocks from the depot where

triumph parade.
Bands from Hammond high school and Tech were suited up and mobilized for the occasion. Thousands of people lined the streets, cheering hoarsely. Students from Hammond, Calumet City, 111., Whiting and East Chicago yelled and snake danced. Scores of residents from neighboring cities poured into Hammond to “adopt” the champions. Complete vacation for several days for the entire high school was proclaimed by Caldwell. The Hammond Tech alumni will fete the team at a banquet tonight and April 9 the city Chamber of Commerce will honor the squad. Many citizens described the bedlam that broke out Saturday night following the tournament as “the wildest celebration here since armis-
tice."

Basketball tourney days are over for another year and heading th“ field as state champions are the Hammond Tech lads up there for the first time in their history and champs after coming through a long, hard, series of games.
When the day ends there will be a better knowledge of how soon and how many teams will participate in the first Independent Amateur Basketball Tournament which is scheduled to be put on here in Greencastle. Plans for the tournament are gradually shaping up but there are still many of the finer points that have
to be more fully organized.

WASHINGTON, April 1.—(UP)— The Works Projects Administration began discharging 200,000 workers today in a move designed to reduce ! work relief rolls by 700,000 during
the next three months.
WPA Commissioner F. C. Harrington said the reduction was necessary to reach an estimated 1,500,000 enrollment by the June 30 fiscal yearend and to keep the program within expenditures authorized by Congress. Only about $329,000,000 of the $1.400.000,000 appropriated for this

At the present time, as this paper goes to press, there have been several teams that have sent in their official entry blanks along with their names of players. Other team managers are expected to send their names, entry blanks and entry fees in later today. Managers of the teams will meet on Wednesday evening, at 7:00 o’clock, at the Banner office and at this time there will be drawings and a date set for the playing off of the tourney.
With the first real spring day yesterday we noticed several riding enI thusiasts on horseback while there j were many bicycles brought out from their winter quarters and put back into use.

House Appropriations Commiittee Wednesday to outline the agency’s needs for the 1940-41 fiscal year. President Roosevelt usually pres mts Congress each spring with a relief message, but has delegated to Harrington the job of informing Con-
gress of next year’s needs,
Harrington said reductions between now and June would be mad gradually, probably on a week-to-week basis, in order to cushion the I shock for local relief organizations. | Approximately 200,000 workers will be dropped during April, he said, and an additional 500.000 during May and
June.
Meantime, the American Federation of Labor estimated that 10,572,000 persons were unemployed during February. The figure was approximately 100.000 below its estimate for January and 613.000 under its Feb., 1939 estimate.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 1 Edwin V. O'Neel, president of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association, announces that Arthur H.

April 26th.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa., April 1— (UP)—Dikes along the turbulent Susquehanna River broke today as flood waters, which drove more than 10,000 persons from their homes and inundated large sections of the Wyoming Valley, began receding. The dike on Narrows Road, between Plymouth and Kingston, was the first to give way. Smaller dikes in the section then broke. Water from the Narrows Road dike menaced the entire community of Kingston and residents were ordered to prepare to evacuate their homes. At 8 a. m. the river had dropped from a high of 31.30 at 6:30 a. m. to 31.23. John Mirmak, official observer, added however that the drop may not mean that the crest had been reached. The Lehigh, Delaware, Schuykdl and Juaniata Rivers still were rising. Sections of Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Plymouth, Edwardsville, FortyFort, Pringle, Scranton, Sayre, Williamsport, Sanbury, Harrisburg and other communities were inundated. In Plymouth the flood waters were within two blocks of the business district and one block from the home of Gov. Arthur H. James, who cancelled a speaking tour of the state to go back to Harrisburg and direct relief work. No food shortages were reported, but scores of stores were closed, Gas supplies were threatened but still in service. Additional U. S. coast guardsmen were rushed here, bringing the force to 40 men and 12 boats. In some sections the water theatened to exceed the high marks ■cached in the disastrous 1930 floods. The Lackawanna River began to recede along with the Susquehanna and authorities said the worst of the flood fears in the Scranton region had passed. Families forced to evacuate the.r homes in the lowlands were told they could return in 24 hours. One public school in Scranton was ordered closed. At Sayre the Susquehanna still was rising. All roads south of Sayre were closed and traffic to Towanda cut off. The main road to Elmira, N. Y., was under water and impassable. Two expectant mothers, Mrs. Lynn Bohr of Towanda, wife of a state policeman, and Mrs. Arthur Hockenberry ot Rummerfield, were brought to a Sayre hospital in a state police car towed through the flooded areas by a highway truck.

Frogs arc classed as game fish by the Indiana Department of Conservation, and, as suen, their capture is regulated by the state’s game regulations. Beginning today, April 1, frogs may be captured—as far as regulations are concerned—for one month, with a closed season until June 10, when they may be captured until October 31. There is no bag limit on the number that may be taken by one person, nor any restriction on the size. Brook trout, brown trout, Lech Lcven trout, and rainbow trout may be taken in Indiana beginning May j 1, until August 31 and no one person may take more than 15, but trout of these species are rare around here, if there are any at all. The real fishing season opens June 16. and continues through until the next April 30. During that period, the usual game fish of Putnam county waters may be caught, subject to restrictions as to size and numbers.

APPEALED FOR COOPERATION IN DECENNIAL CENSUS WASHINGTON, April 1—(UP)— Eleven leaders in public and private Mfe appealed today for unstinting cooperation of citizens in the 16th decennial census starting tomorrow. Their appeal was made as 120,000 enumerators awaited last minute instructions for the most comprehensive checkup in history of peopl •, homes and farms. The last word from secretary of commerce Harry L. Hopkins to those who will "count the noses” was to be polite and remember that their task is not an "inquisition.” The appeal of national leaders, made public by the census bureau, was designed to avert some of the defiance of the census which officials fear has been engendered by weeks of controversy over questions pertaining to income and marital status of women. Those signing it were Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia of New York City; President William Green of the American Federation of Labor; Gov. George D. Aiken of Vermont; Editor Wil.liam Allen White of the Empiroa, Kans., Gazette; President R. R. Deupress of Proctor & Gamble Company, Cincinnati, O.; President Sadie Orr Dungar of the American Federation of Women’s Clubs; Director Chester H. Gray of the highway users conference; Dr. Edward S. Godfrey, Jr., President of the American Health Association; Pres-
said he believed it would be defeated. A similar amendment was rejected in the House by a narrow margin. “I am confident that the threeyear extension of the trade act will be granted without amendment,” Harrison said, “We have gotten over the big hump the Pittman amendment proposing Senate ratification of the agreements and I have no fear of any other amendments.” The ratification plan, sponsored by Sen. Key Pittman, D., Nev., was defeated Friday, 44 to 41. Harrison said that that vote represented “thhighwater mark” of the opposition strength.
