Charges Gov. Craig Exceeds Authority Counter-Charges \ F|y After Incident INDIANAPOLIS UP — Charges and counter-qharges flew today in the wake of an incident involving the Indiana state probation commission in Governor Craig’s ofh.ee while he was in Washington for the inauguration. Dr. jE- Lindsay, 72, Goshen, a 'retired minister and Elkhart county probation officer, charged he was pushed out of Craig’s? office Monday afternoon by Hugh O’Brien, secretary of the state -clemency commission;. \ O'Brien and other Craig aides categorically denied anyone laid a hand on the elderly preacher. The charge by Lindsay came shortly after he was elected chairman of the probation commission. He said he had approached William Sayer, Crrijg’s kadministrative assistant, to protest (Craig’s dismissal of Mrs. Margaret Afflis Johnston as secretary and director of the commission. I Lindsay said he and two other commission -members, Hugh E. Vandivier of and Mrs. James R. Riggs, Sullivan- felt the’y were legally authorized to hire and fire the probation director. He said the governor overstepped his authority because the law says “the state, director of pro-' bation shall serve at the pleasure] of the commission.” 1 Lindsay said O’Brien grasped his wrists and pushecj him out of the governor’s office when Lindsay made a remark about O’Erieq* 1 having been fired from Hie University of Notre Dame. But O’Brien said he left the office before Lindsay did. • j" I ''" expendable; Promised to make the United Nations an effective force for peace.

New Second Family Acquired By Nation Nixon Sdys 'Veep' \ Barkley Property WASHINGTON, UP — The nation acquired a second family today. But it wesri't another Mr' and Mrs. \“Veep.” ; Vice president Richard M. Nixon said the nickname “Vieep” should remain the exclusive property of his elderily predecessor, Alben W. Barkley?? 1 It was still too early for the Nixons to get tagged with a nickname of their own? But for the time’ being, the ex-senator; said he would settle for just plaid vice president or mister. ! ?'\ ■: Thb 4,0-year-old >iixon, who came to Washington just six years ago as a freshman congressman from California, and his pretty straw-berry-blonde wife Patricia, were doing their best to keep Calin about their, big day; But it wasn't easy. \ f - V• Pat said she wasn't nervous about being the second lady of.the land. And her husband didn’t have any qualms about taking over as presiding officer of] the senate immediately after his inauguration. For thefr two little daughters. ’Tricia, 6, and Julie, 4, the Ninons plan to keep life ;?as normal as' possible.” At first tjiey intended to leave the. children rit home during the inauguration. But the youngsters? pestered so much, they finally changed their minds. ( The little girls wdre given formal permission to attend the “auguration,” as Julie calls it, with their grandparents, providing j thfey are on their best behavior. 1 Inauguration festivities kept the Nixons moving at siich a fast pace they had time to grab only a sandwich for dinner Monday'night. They attended .four receptions withfo three hours,! then dashed home to change clothes and hurried back downtown for the two.inaugural festivals'.) Nixon Outlines Plans For Vice Presidency Top Objectives Are Set By New* 'Veep' WASHINGTON UP — Richard M. Nixon said today ope of his main activities as vice president will be to help Republicans increase their narrow! congressional majorities in the 1954 elections. Nixon said, in an interview,, he will “assume as iririch responsibility as possible in assuring the election of an Eisenhower congress.” “As an “active” vice president, which he has vowed to be, Nixon has set for himself two other top objectives: j.\ ' -l] 7 . Working for enactment of Mr. , Eisenhower’s legislative program 'in congress and taking a ‘very active part” in the national security' council. By law, the vice president is a memi'Ser of the council. Nixon said he has pot discussed in detail with Mr. Eisenhower any specific jobs the new President may assign him. But the vice president, A hard working alumnus of both the house and senate, will not be content with the usuallytame task of presiding over the senate. Looking ahead [to 1954 elections, Nixon said he will stump as much as he can to help GOP,, candidates. ,‘He will| concentrate on “helping Republican menibers of congress in?close states and districts, and candidates against Democratic incumbents where we have a chance to win.” He disclaimed any future personal ambitions at this tiriie. ‘S'o far ajs I’m concerned, I feel that I have accomplished my ma-! jor political ambition —to throw the Democrats out and grit Eisenhower in,” he said. “I have no further ambition except that of doing the best possible job I can;’’" Three Legislators Top Bill-Writers INDIANAPOLIS UP M The most profilic bill-writers in the Indiana legislature thus far are ‘Reps.
