Jenner Wants To Build Dam

One-way traffic on three or four blocks on some of the downtown streets was tried out for the first lime in the history of Greencastle Thursday morning. It required the efforts of three or four city policemen at the intersections to direct traffic in

the right way, but all attempted j lutp.r hy

' to cooperate with the police and as a rule the traffic moved along

without much difficulty.

Police explained the new deal to those who made the wrong turns and most everyone agreed that it might be a move in the right direction to relieve the congestion on the narrow down-

town streets.

The same plan will bc continued through tomorrow and, if and when it is made more or less permanent, drivers will be familiar w'th the one-way driving program and there should be no further trouble. The police do not contemplate making it a permanent matter right now but if traffic continues to get worse, it may have to come.

LAWRENCEBURG, Ind., July 10 (UP)—An Indiana state poller Irooper was attacked and kidnaped today by two men who resisted questioning in connection with a traffic ais'l^cnt and

feasible. Mr. Roosevelt had doubts but he thought the alternative—two worlds armed to the teeth—made a trial imperative. Russia's refusal to reach agreement on Germany, and her rejection of any role in a European Economic Plan, combine to support those American officials who claim that: 1. There are at least "two worlds"—led by the U. S. ami the U.S.S.R.—which are irreconcilable for the foreseeable future and maybe forever. 2. These two systems are

Governor Gates met yester(•'jy with the Indiana Traffic Saftey Conimissien to study | the problem of reducing a ris- |
