Two Lawrence Banks Buy The Baseball Park Bonds
Cory Attorney Donald Hults announced this morning that the sale of £50,000 bonds for a baseball park was completed with two Lawrence banks. The bonds were registered with the state auditor and approved by the attorney general and bonded lawyers, then issued to the banks. The six month effort began last October when sportsmen urged city support for a park to host games. The project, endorsed by voters in December, faced later invalidation, and later legislative action in the House of Representatives validated three other bond issues.

Plan for New Contract in Soft Coal Dispute Nears
Washington reports say government officials may call for John L. Lewis and mine owners to begin negotiating a new contract within a week. Key issues include Lewis purging himself to avoid contempt findings, fines totaling 7010 plus 701, and whether the contract remains valid as long as the mines are seized. Justice Department decisions hinge on final judgment and whether to reopen the contract with 30 days notice. Negotiations may proceed once legal steps on penalties clear, with Island Creek Coal President Francis indicating Southern Producers are ready to negotiate but prefer someone else to sign. Congressional action on unionization, welfare funds, and industry-wide bargaining could slow talks.
