(AP) Five otfeers of the Metho dist church at. Durand, 111., were ordered by a jury to pay $20,000 damages to their former pastor, John J. Logan Warren for the al leged besmirching of his name with immorality. The jury verdict manifestly surprised the courtroom audience which had heard the parents of a former domestic in the preacher's home support her sworn story of familiarity with Mr. Warren. The jury asked by the unfrocked min ister for 350.000 redress for libel, returned its verdict before Judge Arthur E. Fisher after two hours deliberations. The jurors made no comment on their finding.

However, the budget will have to share the limelight with an other important Issue, that of se lecting the committee on commit tees, a newly created body which will have the power of selecting standing committees of the coun cil. Independents to Explain Necessity of Action It was rumored Saturday that when nominations for the com mittee on committees are railed for, and before the nominations are made, statements will be forthcoming from members of the independent group in the council, as to the reasons for adopting this new method of se lecting committees; and it was further hinted that these disclos ures would be highly illuminat ing, so the council meeting Mon day night will be far from a tame affair. As to trfe probable personnel of the committee, that has been kept a totally dark secret among the independents, who hare a voting majority of at least ten to four ten to three if Alderman Hawkins resigns as has been indicated. Sinking Fund Idea Vexing; Question With respect to the proposed sinking fund for the Incinerator and airport bonds there is to strong sentiment among the members of the ee-nncil that provision should be made for this,, but there Is also some question-as whether it -i not too fate to change the budget now. and also as to whether- it would be wise to start this year. when the budget ia already high."-- There is also a counter-question- as to whether it will ever be low er. The proposal to include a sink ing fund this year was made by Fred Paulus, assistant state treas urer who was secretary of the bndget committee. He contends that the, charter, Instead of for bidding the creation of a sinking fund, requires it $9000 Annually Needed For Fund Of these two issues of bonds, $20,000 on the Incinerator fall due in 1936 and an equal amount in 1937; $25,000 on the airport In 1938 and an equal amount in 1939. In other words there are tea years in which to pay off the $90. 000, in bonds; so that if a uni form sinking fund is to take care of them, $9000 should be raised for the purpose each year.
