MAYOR ROY HELD of Rock-port, Indiana, was the first recipient of eight merchandise sacks which were distributed to city officials of Southern Indiana towns yesterday. The sacks were presented by Owensboro Mayor Casper Gardner as tokens of goodwill from local merchants to Senate Rejects Compromise Atomic Energy Measure rector John Hcttler, the board was informed that funds would be available for the project.

City Engineer J. E. Patton said he felt the city had some obligation to provide drainage because of the concentration of water in the affected area. He said he did not feel he should say just how pressing the obligation was. Thompson suggested that the laying of the sewer line be made contingent upon the annexation oi the territory to the city.

The city sewer commission now has a policy of installing new sewers only in side the city. City Attorney Joe McKinley ad vised the board that it would not be advisable to install any sewers in property that is not inside the city. E. S. Quisenberry, consulting engineer, said a 42-inch sewer would be adequate for drainage.

It was agreed that work could start when the pipe arrives on Unit 1, which is already in the city. But the rest of the work must await annexation, the board decided. The sewer commission also discussed the employment of an engineering firm for redesigning the city's projected sewage disposal plant. The members discussed the disposal plant system at Evans ville, where one plant inspect ed serves some 32,000 persons. Ac tion was held up pending an in spection of the Evansville plant by Kenneth Kirkland, board member.

Dewey V. Goodrich and Gan-nane agreed to wait until Kirkland had made the inspection. It was agreed that a decision will be made at an early date. Three firms have sought the city's contract for the designing job. They are Black and Veatch, Kansas City; Warren and Van Praag, Decatur, 111., and Consber, Townscnd and Chicago.

Black and Veatch designed the existing plans in 1947, but developments since then have made them out of date and they must be redesigned. The board also allowed bills and claims for July. KENTUCKY CONVALESCENT HOME Far invalids, nervous, aged and incuroblj patients 24 hr. nursing. AT 525 E.

Scrvica All Make 704 E. 4th Phona 3-0406 LEAF SELF-RISING FLOUR! For Same! the fight against the international conspiracy of communism." -Butler's bill aimed at Communist-infiltrated unions had administration backing, although it was not exactly what Brownell had asked.

It also had strong opposition from senators who contended it was an ill-drawn measure that could be used to destroy legitimate labor unions. It survived a first test when the Senate rejected, 57-31, a proposal to sidetrack it in favor of creating a commission to study the problem of communism in labor unions and to report back next year. Then Humphrey, a strong opponent of the Butler offered as a substitute a measure to outlaw the Cdmmunist party. No hearings had been held on it. There had been no formal discussions of it.

It was dropped into the debate like a bolt from the blue. Butler said Humphrey's real purpose was to kill off his bill. Humphrey countered that the way to meet the Communist menace was head-on. "Why saw off the branches?" he asked. "Let's strike at the trunk." In the ensuing fireworks, Sen.

Ferguson (R-Mich), chairman of the Senate GOP Policy Commit tee, and some other Republicans also spoke out against the sub stitute. But Sen. Knowland of palifornia, the Republican leader, announced he would vote for Humphrey's pro posal if the original Butler bill became part of it and he argued strongly for it. Republicans found themselves in a position where they either had to vote for outlawing the Commu nist party or explain why they had rejected a bill that at least sound ed more anti-Communist than any thing they had proposed. The UDshot was that, after some revisions in both the Humphrey and Butler bills and the welding of the two together, not a single senator voied against passage.

If the bill should be brought to a vote in the House, it micht well be swept to passtge there. The question is whether House leaders will bring it up in view of the opposition that both Brownell and FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover have expressed to outlawing the Com munist party. Humphrey's bill would provide penalties of up to five years in prison and up to $10,000 fine for jHTsuns wno wuiuuy join or remain members of the Communist party and lommit anv act de signed to carry out Communist party purposes. The requirement that they must commit some specific act was written in as a last-minute amend ment at the urging of Sen.

The bill also would mak it legal for a Communist party member hold offiie or employment wun any iaDor organization." Electricians Return To Jobs After Walkout OAK RIDGE.

Studebaker Workers Vote Wage Cut Instead Of Shutdown (Continued from Page One) that, in addition lo the wage reductions, the company sought changes in work rules which would be detrimental to the workers. A group seated in the bleachers shouted impatiently: "Let's get this giveaway show started." An official of the Studebaker local opened the meeting with an explanation of negotiations that led to it. He said Studebaker officials told the union three months ago it could not remain in business unless production costs were cut.

Tart of these costs, he said, were attributed by the firm to its wage scales. Company officials have said the pay rates are more than 30 cents an hour above the pattern for the automotive industry. The union official said meetings then were held with Walter P. Reuther. president of the (TO-UAW and jther national officers.

Out of these came the recommendations to accept reductions in hourly pay. The Studebaker Corp. observed its centennial in 1M2, After 50 years of making wagons, buggies and carriages, it sold its first horseless carriage an electric runaboutfour days before its 50th anniversary. Studebaker is one of South Bend's, two largest industries. The other is the Benrtix Products Division of the Rerltlix Aviation which has about 10,000 employes, approximately the same number as Studebaker has been working in recent months.

The proposed 14 per cent pay cut would range from a minimum of $12 to a maximum of 20 a week for workers, a union spokesman said. The company said it now is paying an average hourly wage of $2.39. compared with $2.03 by its main competitors. Studebaker recently reported a net loss of nearly nine million dollars for the first half of this year. Last April executives accepted salary reductions ranging from 20 to 30 per cent on all pay, over $20,000 a year.

It requires the Atomic Energy Commission, for the first five years to give preference to concerns agreeing to patent-sharing when granting licenses to manufacture commercial atomic equipment. Opponents say this is inadequate protection to prevent the creation of an "atomic monopoly." Supporters claim protection is ample and that compulsory patent-sharing is unconstitutional.

Gore said opponents agreed to a vote today because "we are at maximum strength now" and felt prolonged discussion would not gain them votes.
