While the Red Cross fund for re-

Indiana grew rapidly today, State
officials continued their investiga-
ton OF advisability Of calling
special session Of the Legislature to
make a relief appropriation.
Governor Jackson and Adjutant-
General William II. Kershner will
go to the scene of the disaster early
Sunday to determine the needs,
Kershner announced after confer
ence with the Governor. They may
be accompanied by Secretary OF
State Frederick e. Schortemeier and
State Auditor Lew Bowman.

Red Cross headquarters at noon

ceived for the relief fund.
William Fortune, chairman of the

was In st. Louis for a conference
on general relief work. He left late
Friday in response to a telegram
from James l.. Feiser, general
manager Of the American Red
Cross.
Funds being raised in cities
throughout Indiana and Kentucky
will be sent to the Indianapolis Of
fee, officials said.
Fortune said the response in In
dianapolis had been generous, but
that workers in the field told him
that, no matter how large the fund
may be, it cannot be adequate to
meet the needs.
State Representative Bruce !. p.
Cooper. whose home. Stewardsville,
is at the edge Of the storm area,
and who was one of the organizers
of relief work, called on Governor
Jackson again today to relate the
needs Of his neighbors. Cooper Fri

Following today's conference,
Cooper said possibly the State could
handle the situation without a spe-
cial session.
Representative Harry G. Leslie of
Lafayette, speaker Of the House at

attended the conference, said he ia
vored a special session If deemed
necessary. He said the cost would
be comparatively small, as many
Legislators to whom he had talked.
were willing to serve without pay
or travelling expenses.
Leslie figured that $500.000 ap-
preparation would add cent to the
