Fisherman Drowned WINAMAC, June 20 (UP) Herschell Short, Hammond, told today how his fishing partner Carl Wolff, 64, also of Hammond was drowned in a gravel pit Tues day. Short said the two were fishing from a boat when the craft capsized. Short was knocked unconscious when the boat overturned, he said, and when be regained his senses he could not find Wolff. Draft Expenses Not Recoverable, Emmert Decides The state of Indiana was not liable for expenses of the state selective service office but the $10, 246 which already has been spent can not be recovered from the federal government, James Emmert, attorney general, has held in aft official opinion. The attorney general cited numerous decisions regarding ex- penditures from the Governor's civil and military contingent fund in holding that the $10,246 payment was legal, even to the sum of $124 that was spent for Christmas greeting cards.

An opinion was asked by Governor Ralph F. Gates to determine whether the state might take action to recover the amount spent from the federal selective service system. Mr. Emmert's opinion pointed out that in 1931 the attorney gen eral held that the emergency con- fund "is very largely under control of the Governor, if limited to a -public use within the scope of the executive function." "The attorney general there held that this fund could be used to olean the Statehouse," the opinion stated "It is my opinion, therefore," he held, "that the federal government would have been liable for all expenses of the selective service sys-tm in this state if compliance been had with' selective service regulations governing the payment of such expenses and that the state was under no legal obligation to provide the property and services which it did." He added, however, that "the payment of such items by the Governor under the broad powers granted to him in the administration of his contingent funds fixed the liability of the state and such failure to comply with applicable federal regulations concerning travel, procurement of supplies and furnishing of services prevents the reimbursement of such items by the federal government in the absence of congressional action authorizing such recovery." Directors See Stone Company's Property Special to The Indianapolis News BEDFORD, June 20 Directors of the newly organized Indiana Limestone Company, closed a two-day inspection tour of the property of the corporation i The directors, appointed by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell following a hearing in Indianapolis federal court on plans for reorganization of the Indiana Limestone Corporation, arrived in Bedford Monday.

In the party were Hays H. Buskirk. Bloomington, president of the board; Asa B. Kellogg, New York, secretary; Russell L. White, Indianapolis, secretary; Eugene F.

Olson, of Adrian, and Frank E. Whiting, of Chicago. Albert Ward, Indianapolis attorney, who has served as trustee for the corporation, accompanied them. He is in charge of the property until the directors assume control August l. Following a dinner meeting here Tuesday night, Mr.

Buskirk said that a thorough survey of properties and conditions will be made before future plans can be considered. CONNERSVILLE, June 20 (UP) Indiana state police decided today that the rumor of a gold strike in Henry county was just that a rumor. Following a lead In Omar S. Peele's Cambridge City weekly newspaper, the National Highway Traveler, Lt. Walter LaHayne, of the state police post here, checked the story: of $70,000 in gold coins which were reported dug up by a state highway bulldozer on U.

S. 40 near Straughn. No one except the Cambridge City publisher seemed to know anything about the matter not even Keith C. Carwood, state high way commission project engineer who supervised the road-widening project. Denials of knowledge concern ing the "treasure" were, made by State Treasurer Frank T.

Millis, State Highway Commission Chairman John Lauer and Willard Pick ering, Straughn, near whose farm the money reportedly was found. Next Stephenson Step Up to State Judge Gentry Refuses to Remove Self From Case NOBLESVILLE. June 20 (AP) With D. C. Stephenson win ner in his latest move to get a new next step today was up to the attorney general's office.
