EVENT AUGUST 17 SPONSORED BY FILLMORE GARDEN ( LUB
Only ?ix members of t^e Greencastle Planning CommisBion were able to meet Fndaj evening, but five o: them vote.: in favor of changing the triangle on east Washington and Franklin streets from residence to busi-
ness.
Petitions with 41 names on them were presenten to the Commission by Frank Stoesstl, representing Kimbul Larkin, and he explained that the. change was “spot" zoning, which City Engineer Thompson said was not correct, because he defined spot zoning and said already business was available on one side of this
tract.
The action was necessary because the city council will now pass on the matter and they repealed a former ordinance which they passed because sufficient notice had not been given the
property owners.
Mr. Larkin, Mrs. Martin, Leon Buis, Russell Elmore were present to protest {.he change. Hal Hickman, realtor, spoke in favor of it, as did Mr. Thompson and Mayor Crawley. Mr Hickman asked “Is Greencastle going to stand still, or go ahead in the
next 10 years?”
Harold Stewart presided* as chairman of the Commission. Other members present were
Claude Webb, Don McLean, May- architecture and furnishings, and

GOOD OLD DAYS FIRST FRAT HOUSE—“The lot purchased by F. D. Ader of T. C. Hammond, on the corner of Poplar and Jackson streets, and upor. which ground has been broken for a house, is not, as many have supposed, intended for a residence for Frank and a bride. The purpose, as revealed by the projector for the Times, is to erect a chapter house, to be the property of the local chapter of the Sigma Chi Greek Fraternity. The enterprise is under the personal direction and patronage of Mr. Auer, who expects to furnish the means for its prosecution. The contract has been let for the building, which is to be a handsome structure of ample proportions for the accommodation of twenty-four men. It will be finished in the best style of modern
or Crawley, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Thompson and Cloyd Moss. Mr. Webb voted against the resolution recommending to the council that the plot be changed from residential to business. The next action will be up to the city council and then the objectors, if they so wish, can go to circuit court with their petitions.

^ ASHINGTON (UP)—President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulle.planned to confer again today on the Suez Canal crisis. The White House said the President and Dulles planned to continue talks on the Suez situation and plan for the bi-partinn conference on the crisis with congressional leaders Sunday. A government plane was made available to fly* Democratic congressional leaders to the White House conference from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Dulles returned to the capital Friday* after a one-day trip 'o New York to talk over the Suez situation with U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. Dulles, who took advantage of his trip to register to vote in the November election in New York, brushed past newsmen in his hurry to return here immediately. He said only that “we talked about the Suez and conditions generally.” But authoritative sources here said Britain, France and thcUnited States have offered a proposal for international control of the Suez Canal to all nations accepting invitations to the London conference. The three-power proposals, according to one version, are said to embody five principles: 1. The canal should be operated by* an international authority*. 2. This should assure its functioning according to principles of the 1888 Suez Treaty. 3. Egypt should be assured a reasonable income from ship tolls. 4. The canal owners should get fair compensation. 5. If Egypt and the canal company disagree on the compensation, it should be decided by arbitration under the world court. Dulles gave a short "no coiument” when asked about a suggestion by former President Truman that the Suez and other major international waterways—including the Panama Canal—be Internationalized.

CIVIL RIGHTS IS HOT ISSUE FOR DEMOCRATS
THREE SEPARATE PLATFORM PLANKS ARE LIKELY AT CONVENTION CHICAGO (UP)- Democratic moderates said today that three separate civil rights planks probably will be laid before their party's national convention next week. But they were hopeful of Avoiding ap arty-splitting floor fight. Three moderates, trying to prevent a unity-shattering battle on the convention floor, appeared confident along the lines of the party’s 1952 civil rights declaration. It would be designed to mollify Southerners, except for the extreme segregationists antf states fighters, by not specifically endorsing the Supreme Court decision outlawing school segregation. But ultra-conservative Southerner.-! indicated they would offer heir own plank condemning the court decision and pledging local control of schools. A third plank may come from northern liberals, endorsing the court ruling specifically and calling for the federal government to carry out an all-out civil rights program. Chief sponsors of the compromise plank said they believed it would win a substantial majority of the convention’s votes. The platform Committee went into its sixth and final day of hearings today. Several tentative drafts, modeled after the 1952 plank, already have been circulated secretly among key committee members
