Still No Punch To Meat Boycott

Butchers and meat clerks in Greencastle reported no significant decrease in sales of beef, pork and lamb yesterday, as a nation-wide meat boycott moved into its second day today. Across the state, however, Indiana retail grocers have noticed a slight-but insigni-ficant-decline in beef sales

since the nationwide meat boycott began Sunday, according to Joseph Lackey, executive secretary of the Indiana Retail Grocers’ Association. For the boycott to work. Lackey said, “It has to be unanimous, nationwide and last more than a week." The boycott has been something less than unanimous.

Most Hoosier meat marketers say they haven’t felt much of a protest, according to the Associated Press. In Fort Wayne, only one store in 19 questioned noted a major drop in sales, but over most of the state, it was business as usual Monday. At state livestock centers yesterday, hog prices were un-

Surgery Not Needed For Lora Gardner

Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Gardner learned yesterday at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis that their three-year-old daughter, Lora, will not have to undergo open heart surgery as they had previously been informed. Lora was at Riley Hospital March 26 and yesterday to undergo extensive heart and brainwave tests for the purpose of determining how ser-

ious her heart problem was. Results of the tests were evaluated last night. Mrs. Gardner reported that a group of six physicians saw Lora during the tests and together arrived at the decision that surgery was not necessary at this time. They did explain, however, that Lora does have two heart abnormalities. The doctors attempted to

Comedy-Mystery Play Rehearsed

Although it seems difficult to imagine a “comedy murder mystery’’ the DePauw University Speech Department is sponsoring a production of just that description on April 12, 13 and 14. DPU senior Connie Staley, who is directing the play, put the play into this category and explained that it is the type of story in which some members of the audience may be heard

DPU Game

Postponed The DePauw-Rose Hulman baseball game scheduled for today has been postponed. It will be played at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday) weather permitting. DePauw dropped a doubleheader to Illinois Monday, by scores of 16-2 and 9-1.

saying, “The butler did it,” as throughout the course of the play each member of the family is suspected of the crime at one time. Entitled “The Bat,” the story deals with an elderly woman w ho rents a house for the summer and the strange chain of events that follows, including a murder. A detective is then hired to solve the mystery, and the audience often finds itself second-guessing the official. Nora Winsberg portrays the unfortunate lady in whose, rented home the tragedy occurs. The detective is enacted by Steve Lakes. Candy Eastern, Christy Brogren and Gary Sesafsky also take part in the action. Completing the cast are Kit Bohacheh, Sky Baab, Carl Gordon and Marti Blum berg. Although the play is part of the “Mom’s Weekend” activities planned for the campus, the public is invited to attend Please Turn to Page 2

explain that the earlier statement was based upon one of these problems. “On one side of her heart there is a humming noise caused by something wrong with the blood vessels,” Mrs. Gardner said. “But the six doctors said it wasn’t serious enough for sur-

gery.”

The tests also revealed that Lora has a heart murmur. While the group of physicians evaluated the extent of these problems and agreed that surgery was not necessary at this time, they gave no positive indication that Lora will outgrow either, according to

Mrs. Gardner.

“We’re so happy that she ^ . doesn’t have to have this L/lltri0S

surgery,” Lora’s mother stated. “When we spoke to the first doctor, he was so sure that she would have to have the operation that we were honestly afraid we were going

to lose her.”

evenly steady to as much as $1.25 lower. Cattle and calves were mostly higher. In Greencastle, the livestock market was steady, with the highest price going to hogs in the 200-220 pound range, with a price of $34.50 to $35. Those prices have dropped from a high of around $39, which the market hit just before the boy-

cott began.

At Indianapolis, barrows and gilts sold unevenly, mostly $1 to $1.25 lower. The range of prices at 70 rural markets showed the demand uneven, but generally fair, w ith barrows and gilts unevenly steady to $ 1 higher and as much as $3 higher. Hog receipts were good at Indianapolis, totaling 1,400 head, and sows were steady to 50 cents higher. Cattle and calves were in small supply at Indianapolis, with choice steers and heifers $1. to $1.50 higher and good grade steady to 50

cents higher.

A check of nine supermarkets in Bloomington showed the boycott having little effect. The food manager of one Bloomington supermarket said his Sunday meat sales were within $ 10 of last Sunday.

Myers Vows To Eat Steak During Boycott

Invites

Since the news was received only last night the Gardners have not had time to make a definite decision as to how they will deal with the funds deposited at the Central National Bank in Lora’s name. However, they have discussed the situation. Mrs. Gardner said, “My husband suggested that we somehow try to convey our appreciation to the public for all that they have done.” She continued, “We are happy that we have no need for the money now, but we are also sorry if we caused all the nice people any problems.” Please Turn to Page 2

Indiana’s 7th District Congressman John T. Myers has vowed to eat steak sandw iches all week, while a nationwide meat boycott remains underway. Myers devoured a steak sandwich Monday and said if the National Press Club re-

fused today to serve meat at a luncheon for Hoosier Agriculture Secretary Earl L. But/, “then I’ll walk out.” Press Club President Donald Larrabee said, however, the club manager had selected fillet of soles as the entree. He said it would be “meatless

Church Executive To Speak Tomorrow

The General Secretary of the United Methodist Church Board of Missions, The Rev. Dr. Tracey K. Jones, Jr., will give the Beamer Missionary lecture at DePauw University Wednesday, April 4. Dr. Jones will discuss “Christian Missions and the Third World” in his 10 a.m. public remarks in Gobin United Methodist Church, on the campus.

He has also served as executive secretary of the World Division for China and Southeast Asia.

Tuesday at the Press Club." Meanwhile, the remaining members of Indiana's Congressional delegation in Washington were divided on the meat boycott issue. The survey of Indiana Congressmen was made by the Indianapolis Star’s Washington Bureau. Republican William H. Hudnut of Indianapolis symbolically went along with the boycott and ordered a tuna sandwich in the House restaurant. He stated that the boycott may focus attention on the inflation problem in America. Republican William G. Bray of Martinsville said he ate a hamburger for lunch, but “without bread.” Democrat J. Edward Roush of Huntington said he ate a cup of soup and a corned beef sandw ich for lunch, but promised his evening meal would be macaroni and cheese casserole. Republican Earl F. Landgrebe of Valparaiso, who took a dim view of the boycott, said he had a steak sandwich. He Please Turn to Page 2

DPU Mom’s Weekend Set For April 13 Students at DePauw University will play hosts to their mothers soon, as the campus holds its annual “Mom’s Weekend” April 13-15.

It’s Okay, They’re Ours

Duck! The A-37’s are coming. That is, A-37 fighter-bomb-ers from the 71st and 72nd Special Operations Squadrons, from the 434th Special Operations Wing based at Grissom Air Force Base north of Kokomo, will be making low-level overflights of the eastern edges of Putnam and western edge of Hendricks counties, according to the Office of Information (OI) at Grissom. It’s part of a training program to maintain proficiency in visual navigation during low altitude flying, which permits pilots to utilize a lowlevel attack profile which might be required in certain combat sifuations. In order to accomplish the training, the A-37 pilots will be following a low level route from Grissom to Camp Atter-

bury practice bombing and gunnery range. A safe route for the flights has been selected and coordinated with the Federal Aviation Agency. The OI at Grissom stressed that the A-37s are flying a mission, and not buzzing their friends. The flight pattern has been selected to carry the aircraft over sparsely-populated areas. Pilots fly the route at 1,500 feet, allowing a good safety margin both for the pilot and residents along the route. The planes are flying at approximately 275 miles per hour, and there is no way they can exceed the speed or sound nor do any damage to personnel or property, the OI said. The routes are flown only in good weather, never in rain or cloud cover. Please Turn to Page 2
