Polish Students Meet In Warsaw
WARSAW UP —Hundreds of students from other Polish cities poured into riot-torn Warsaw today for a mass mccung in definance of a police ban. The location and exact purpose of the meeting was kept secret and steel-helmeted militiamen patrolled every street in the center of the cit}' on the lookout for
it.
The city was quiet but tense and there were fears the meeting would spark another riot of the type that has rocked the capital four nights in a row. Hundreds of young persons
Highway Scandal Trial Underway INDIANAPOLIS UP — The
! politically explosive trial of Indi-
ana’s former highway commissioner and three associates on embezzlement charges opened to-
day.
Former Commissioner Virgil Red Smith and the others arc charged with making huge profits in connection with right-of-way purchases along the route of a state highway through Indianapolis. Accused with Smith were Nile Trcverbaugh, former right-of-way director; Harry Doggett, formerly an assistant to Treverbaugh, and Robert Peak, a lawyer in Smith’s home town of Milan, Ind. The prosecution has charged the four men created a fictional "Dean Burton” to defraud the state. Mrs. Robert Quinland and Mrs. John Acker of Indianapolis have said they sold their lots to “Burton”, although they never saw
him.
Records showed that “Burton” sold the lots to Peak, and that Peak sold the land to the State Highway Department at a $22,800 profit. The prosecution said it would argue that “Burton” and Treverbaugh were the same man. PUTNAM COURT NOTES William Otis Luttrell vs. Jeanne Luttrull, suit for divorce.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UP)—A Negro leader said today racial
were reported under arrest but tensions seem to be easing in Lit-
trol in some labor unions.” McClellan speaks from a position of strength, if not neutrality. He is chairman of the Senate Rackets Committee that has been giving Hoffa a going over. No one is more sharply arware of that fact than George Meany, the hard-fisted plumber who is president of the AFL-CIO. Meany is a labor politician of parts and pretty well fits the pattern of a labor-statesman. Soon after the Teamster story began to unfold before the Senate Rackets Committee in terms of financial finagling by President Dave Beck, Vice President Hoffa and pals, Meany began to maneuver. He was maneuvering to protect organized labor against the barbed labor legislation which Congress might enact if public indignation at the Teamsters goings on was not somehow appeased. Meany and the AFL-CIO high command wanted to oust Beck from the Teamsters presidency after his Senate committee appearances. They could not swing it. The effort to prevent Hoffa’s election to succeed Beck came finally to the promise now in
effect.
That, if Hoffa were elected, the Teamsters would be expelled from AFL-CIO membership. The expulsion order, doubtless will be coming soon .unless new President Hoffa moves first to disaffiliate the Teamsters from the over-all labor organization. Meany’s maneuvering, which which will end, finally, with departure of the Teamsters from the AFL-CIO, probably will protect organized labor next session from this kind of regulatory legislation which it does not want. The least Meany and company can expect from the next session of Congress is new legislation to keep sticky fingers out of union cash boxes. That will be all right with Meany. The AFL-CIO ethical practices committee is on record for that. The committee last May adopted a code of ethical financial practices which would forbid such first money deals as | have been charged against Beck and Hoffa. The Eisenhower ad- i ministration is committeted to i go at least as far as the AFLCIO in keeping union leaders
honest.

INDIANAPOLIS UP — A restraining order headed off at least temporarily today a milk j strike in the Indianapolis area. Dairy Producers, Inc., an organization of dairy farmers, had called a strike for 7:30 a. m. today and announced Saturday ! uight it would go ahead with the

Albright, Evangelist. Judge Norman Brennan.
But George Sandefur, president of Dairy Producers, aaid Sunday night the strike was “postponed indefinitely” after a group of officials was advised by attorneys to comply with the injunction to stop picketing for at
least a week.
Sandefur said any further action on strike plans "would depend on the outcome of a hearing” on the injunction set for
Friday.
Brennan issued the restraining order late Saturday. It waa served at a meeting of the group's officials and milk haulers Saturday night. Cassius Bottema, a DPI director, said “That injunction isn't worth the paper it’s written on.” Sandefur said then he was going ahead with striking plans. • The paper may not be worth much, but they'll find out how much my signature is worth if they violate a court order," Bren-
nan said.
The order was based on a 1937 Indiana law which make stopping transportation of farm pro-
ducts a felony.
Sandefur hoped to block milk shipments into Indianapolis. But he admitted it might take “a couple of days” to make th® strike effective. Earlier he said a strike would cut off 70 percent of the supply of milk to Indianapolis and surrounding area. Dairy spokesmen claimed a strike would affect only about 10 percent of the normal supply. “I don’t want any violence,” Sandefur said, “The picket* have not been instructed. But if any

Farm land and building values increased by 3 per cent between last March 1 and July 1, the report noted. This brought the July 1 index of value per acre to 151 per cent of the 1947-49 average The report said the strength in
farm values was due to:
—Generally favorable crop pros-
pects as of mid-1957.
—Pressures to enlarge existing
—Increased demand for poorquality land in Nome areas. Farmers and non-farmers want such
land to “despoil” in the soil bank trucks attempt

— The “continued high level" of non-farm business activity, which has added to the demand for farmland to be used as residential or industrial property.
