However, the Works Department wants to extend 16th Street through the area (dotted lines) splitting the playground.

'Spur-of -Moment' Entry Named Miss Kentucky A girl who entered a beauty contest yesterday morning "on the spur of the moment," was named Miss Kentucky last night in a preliminary Miss Universe contest at Fontaine Ferry Park.

City Works Department officials want provisions made for building 16th Street through the future playground. Sixteenth now dead-ends at the old cemetery site between Jefferson and Cedar. But Parks Department officials argue such an extension of 16th would split the playground, creating a hazard for those getting from one part to the other.

Recommendation Is Asked To resolve the conflict, Mayor be the right of way of 16th," said City Engineer W. W. Sanders. "Building 16th through the playground to fill the gap between Jefferson and Cedar may become very important in the future." AccorRing to Sanders, 16th may be needed as part of a one-way system to serve a new bridge that has been proposed to New Albany. Both 15th and 16th would be one-way streets to Maple on the south.

They would tie in to Bank and Portland as one-way streets extending west to 33d Street. Broaddus said he believes the Parks Department could relocate the monument and place its ball diamond in the east end of the playground so that if 16th is extended, only the ball diamond would be separated from the rest of the playground. Actually, carrying out the City's plans for converting the U. S. Court Green Light For Signals Downtown Set To Get Brackets For Visibility New traffic signals, to De suspended from brackets over the street, yesterday, were ordered installed at all downtown intersections.

The new signals are designed to be more easily seen by drivers than present signals. The latter are installed on straight standards at the edge of the intersections and frequently are hidden from motorists by trucks. The new signals also will be interconnected with neon "Walk-Wait" signs for pedestrians. These will be timed to halt pe destrians several seconds before the overhead signals change, and thus prevent pedestrians being caught in the middle of the street by the signal change. Project Was Put Off Installation of the new signals was ordered by Mayor Broaddus at a conference with City Traffic Engineer Wilbert Watkins.

Broaddus noted that installation of the new signals was first proposed more than a year ago, and $50,000 was appropriated for the project. But the plans were held up pending completion of a $28,000 study of downtown traffic by Wilbur Smith, Yale University traffic expert. Smith has submitted a summary of his findings, but not his final report. Broaddus said, however, "The new signals and the walk-wait signs will fit in with his recommendations." Time Needed Broaddus told Watkins to put the first of the new-type signals at Fourth and Broadway as a demonstration project." Watkins estimated this could be done in about six weeks. "But it will take longer for the rest because we'll have to prepare detailed specifications, purchase material, and take bids on installation," Broaddus said.

River Road Lights Set Broaddus also told Watkins to go ahead with plans to extend lane lights on River Road east from Adams Street to the Cutoff Bridge. These plans have been delayed pending a decision on a proposal to widen River Road and link it with Fulton Street in a one-way system between Adams and the bridge. "It appears that the plans for widening the River Road may take a lot of time to accomplish," Broaddus said. "In the meantime, something has to be done to improve the traffic situation between Adams and the bridge." Harvester Union Claims Layoff Called Too Early International Harvester Company's Louisville works announced a layoff before members of United Automobile Workers Local 817 could vote on an alternative, Emil Cornett charged yesterday. Cornett is president of the C.I.O.

local, bargaining agent for 550 workers in the plant's foundry. The alternative, offered Tuesday by management, was a cut in the work week from the current five days to four. The tractor plant, which now has 2,900 employees, announced Wednesday that it planned to lay off 350 to 400 about July 19. A plant spokesman said most of the unions, including the leadership of Local 817, indicated they wanted the five-day week continued.

Adult Must Sign All Children's Driving Requests All applications for driver's licenses by persons 16 to 18 years old must be signed by the applicant's father, mother, or guardian.

She received notice of the new ruling yesterday from the State Revenue Department. Previously only the first application had to be signed by an adult.

At the same time, the City must advertise its intentions and wait 30 days for any claims to be filed in court by descendants of those buried in the cemetery. If any claims are filed, Circuit Court will name three commissioners to investigate and recommend settlements. If the claimants are dissatisfied with the recommended settlements, jury trials will be ordered.

Descendants of persons buried in the cemetery may claim the remains for reburial at any other cemetery they choose. However, identifying the remains would be an almost impossible task without records or headstones. Broaddus has said the City will move all unclaimed remains that can be found to the Portland Cemetery. To Decide Appeal Agent Backed Remke E. H.

Walton, Covington, attorney and" appeal agent for the draft board, testified he had ruled that Remke should have been deferred. Walton testified he thought the reporting a change of a draftee's status to a board member had more force than reporting it to a clerk. The case was appealed, but all draft agencies turned it down since there was no written notice of change of status in Remke's file with the draft board on or before August 25, 1953. Col. Solon Russell, director of the Kentucky Selective Service, testified about the legal steps, saying Remke had been given all the remedies he was entitled to and his induction was not capricious or prejudicial.

A posse worked overtime last night in the Stinesville community near here and captured what they thought to be two escaped convicts. The Monroe County sheriff's department was called to the area yesterday and told "Two escapees from Morgan-Monroe Forest tried to steal a truck and we got 'em." On arrival, deputies found Monroe County Conservation Officer Carl Koons and an assistant, wearing overalls over their uniforms, surrounded by men holding shotguns. They're Not Deputies said they assured the posse the two men were not car thieves. They said Koons and his assistant had been in the area, stalking alleged poachers of out-of-season squirrels.

Coons said he saw the parked truck and sneaked out of the brush to investigate it. Just then the truck's owner spotted him from a distance and thought he was up to no good when he hurried back into the brush. Man Robbed on West Market Roy Nalley, 1517 W.

Couriar-Journal Pilots Huge Truck Runs Wild In Frankfort Brakes Fail; 6 Cars Smashed Downtown Frankfort, July 8 (P) A huge, runaway tractor-trailer truck careened wildly at a speed of 50 to 60 mph through Frankfort's shopping district today, crashing into six automobiles. Miraculously, no one was hit as the vehicle raced through crosswalks after its brakes failed at the top of a high hill at the east end of town. Three of six parked cars struck were described by police as total wrecks. The three other cars and the truck itself were heavily damaged. The truck, driven by Calvin Browning, came to rest only after striking a curbing and smacking into the Capital Hotel, which was only slightly damaged.

The driver was not hurt. Browning was taking the truck, which was empty, from Lexington to Vevay, Ind. It is owned by William J. Drummy, a Lexington hay dealer. Two New Polio Make Years Total 18 Two new polio cases have been reported to the Louisville and Jefferson County Board of Health in the past two days, bringing the total for the year to 18.

None of the cases reported so far have been among the second-grade children who took Salk vaccine injections last month. Additions Permission to convert the old cemetery to public use was granted by the recent Legislature. No burials have taken place there since 1894, when it was officially closed by the Board of Aldermen. In the ensuing 60 years, the cemetery has become an eyesore. Its headstones and monuments have been smashed by vandals.

And all records of those buried there have been lost. Monument Included Parks officials have had the architectural firm of Berg Dahl plan the layout for the new playground. It includes tennis courts, volley-ball and basketball courts, a wading pool, tot lot, softball diamond, picnic area, shelter house, and picnic pavilion. There also is included a monu- Anchorage Lifts Ban On Sprinkling Lawns A water shortage in Anchorage has eased, and the ban against sprinkling lawns has been lifted by the City's trustees. Trustee A.

J. Wagner said last night that the cause of the shortage was temporary failure of the Louisville Water Company to get enough water into the artificial underground reservoir from which Anchorage draws its supply. The water company is now providing a full supply, he said. McCalVs Body Is Recovered From River The body of Ches McCall, was recovered from the Ohio River at 7:30 p.m. yesterday by Coastguardmen.

The body was found about 50 yards from where McCall fell in the river from a small boat opposite the Richmond Boat Club docks at 12:45 a.m. Wednesday. McCall, of 1730 Sulgrave Road, had a deep cut in the back of his head and a skull fracture, Chief Deputy Coroner William T. Kammerer reported. Body In 25 Feet of Water McCall apparently fractured his skull when he hit the side of the boat in falling, and the propeller inflicted the cut, Kammerer said.

The body was found in 25 feet of water, about 250 yards off the Richmond Boat Club docks. The recovery ended a 12-hour Coast Guard search yesterday and an all-day search Wednesday. McCall, a senior medical student at the University of Louisville and a topflight amateur golfer, was riding with James Raines, 19, of 2893 Regan; David O'Toole, 18, of 2112 Lowell, and an unidentified couple when he fell as the boat was turning. Raines was piloting the 17-foot runabout owned by his father, A. B.

Raines, Jr. Funeral To Be Tomorrow Raines and O'Toole searched the area for about 15 minutes, but McCall's body never came to the surface. McCall was junior amateur golf champion of Kentucky in 1946 and was a member of the U. of L. golf team.

Survivors are his father, Ches McCall, his wife, Mrs. Kitty McCall; two sons, Ches McCall, III, and Clay McCall; a brother, Curt McCall, and his grandmother, Mrs. Cora Bell McCall. The funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow at Bosse's Funeral Home, 1355 Ellison Avenue.

Burial will be in Cave Hill Cemetery. Employers Invited For Day at Knox Louisville employers of men in a reserve administrative unit that will take summer training at Fort Knox this month will be invited to spend a day with the unit. Lt. Col. Richard Elsler, commander of the 2045th Reception Station, set July 28 for the visit.

An Army bus will leave Fourth and Broadway at 8:30 a.m. to take visitors to the post. The visitors will see the unit in training and be taken on a tour of the post. There also wiil be a review. J.

Rebstein, Covington, was in the Remkes meat-processing plant. Remke passed cigars and asked Rebstein whether the daughter's birth didn't change his draft status. Rebstein replied, according to testimony: "I don't know, but I'll attend to that for you." Got Notice Last August Remke received a notice last August from the board saying he should report any change in status to the board. He wrote a letter September 10, saying he was married, and father of a daughter. However, the Government contended the final date for such a report was August 25 under an executive order of the President.

The draft board last January reclassified Remke from 4F to 1A, and he was ordered to report for examination. Rebstein testified he recalled, that Remke had told him about the daughter but said he couldn't remember ever having told the board about it. Kenneth F.

She won't be here Sunday for the 2:45 p.m. dedication of new additions at the hospital, as she now is an outpatient. Hence the private tour.

Miss Harkness, 21, estimated that altogether she had spent a year at Kosair at different intervals since she was 15 when she came in for treatment of her polio-damaged leg. "And as often as I've been here I've never been on hand for the picnic," she said. This year's annual picnic is on July 29, 30, and 31. A pretty, dark-haired girl, Sarah is a sophomore at Union College, Barbourville. She runs her household as her mother is ill much of time.

There are four other children in the family. Sarah's father was the late Rev. Bryan Harkness, a Baptist minister. Sarah had polio during the 1934 epidemic. Because of the dam-age to her left leg it didn't grow as rapidly as the right.

The left leg was treated and three years ago her right leg was shortened by an intricate operation. There are still pins in her right leg which eventually will be removed. Now there is just a fractional difference in the length of her legs. She Taught Herself To Play The Piano "I used to be more than an inch taller than my older sister; novf she is taller than I am," Sarah said, smiling. An ambitious and energetic girl, Sarah finished high school in three years and a summer term.

She has taught herself to play' the piano. She has appeared in several college dramatic productions. When she finishes college Sarah plans to be a missionary in a foreign field. "My father was a very religious man but he never forced religion on us," she said. "I don't remember that he ever suggested that I become a missionary and I don't remember when I ever considered any other career." mi i STARGAZERS at the University of Louisville's new observatory last night included, from left, Dr.
