McCarthy (Contlnnrd Krom I'rko On.) 1. .McCarthy asked him Sept. 16 'to use Sehine’s “special qualifications" by giving him a commission or making him a special assistant In army intelligence. This was after Sehine’s application for a commission had been rejected. McCarthy made the"hsqtiest at a meeting in the home of Sehine’s parents # in New York. 2. Oct. 2. with Sehine’s induction as a private a month away. Cohn asked Stevens to permit him to escape basic training. Stevens said he told Cohn that couldn’t be done. 3. Oct. 14 Schine suggested to Stevens that the secretary make him a special assistant to hunt Communists. He said, according to Stevens, that such an assignment “would be more logical” than being drafted. 4. That he assured the McCarthy group frequently that he wanted to cooperate fully with it. Oct. 2, he said. Cohn complained of lack of cooperation at Ft. Monmohth. ’’Then and there,” Stevens testified, he telephoned the commanding general. Maj. Gen. Klrke B. Lawton. and oedesed him to give the investigatoss "fhU coopeation." 5. Subsequent to Sehine’s induction. Stevens said he gave the daftee special leave pivileges to permit him to wind up his work with the subcommittee. He said Cohn called him Oct. 27 and said Schine would be drafted Nov. 3. Cohn suggested that '’Schine be furloughed and assigned to New' York.” or that perhaps the central intelligence .agency could use him.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Farmers Claim Raw Deal From Toll Road Group Northeast Indiana Farmers* Protest Damage Payments INDIANAPOLIS UP — Farm- ’ era in northeastern Indiana believe they are getting a raw deal from the Indiana toll road commission. Their spokesman, Hubert Miller, 58, Howe, charged today construction df the east-west toll road will "damage our business for the rest of our lives” and the commission is not "decent” about paying for those damages. Miller said dozens of farmer from LaGrange and Steuben counties will meet in a schoolhouse near Howe tonight and attempt to agree that none of them will sign over land rights to the commission until all are satisfied the price is right. He said tne commission pays ohly token fees for the land it buys and almost nothing for damage inflicted. Some commission representatives use “high-pressure tactics” and "we don’t like that up here," he said. Farmers argue with the commission on three financial points —right of way, severance and ini tangible damages. Miller offered . these views on each: 1. Right of way—The commis- ■ sion’s average offer for purchas- ; ing land actually needed for the toll road about equals <what two years' crops on that land would yield. Said Miller: "That’s not I quite fair.” ' 2. Severance —(Many farms will be cut in half by the toll road, and the commission offers sortie payment for land separated from the farm house and barn by the superhighway “wall.” Miller aaid the amount usually is "way low” and commission'.representatives are reluctant to discuss hbw the ; payments are figured. 3. Intangible damages — The commission does not recognize damage to the farm as a business by cutting it in half. 'Many want to go to court to get payment on this score. Miller said one farmer would be left with his farm property and about $30,000 worth of equipment but just half as much land, -s “You can't sell equipment—you need all you’ve got,” ji® said. “But there’s not enough land left to rotate crops or to send cattle to pasture.” * He said one 60-year-old farmer made a living with a dairy herd. The toll road will leave him with a barnful of cattle and no accessible pasture, so he must sell the herd. "He’s too old to get a job in a factory, so how will he make a living?” Miller asked. He also said in most cases, severance payments do not take into account that land cut off from the farm house is almost lost. Some cut-off lands are. surrounded by waterways which make it impossible to reach them, he said. In many cases, he said, the cutoff land is sandwiched between other land, meaning the farmer must buy right-of-way and build fences to get back to his property. “And what if he’s over on the cut-off property and his tractor breaks down? asked (Miller. “He can’t climb over the fence and cross the toll road, so maybe he has to walk four miles home.” Commission agents have concentrated their land-buying tactics on elderly farmers and widows, Miller said. He said two agents belabored 80-year-old Lyoll Alsbaugh with demands for hours without letup. "They worked on him right through the noon hour. He had nothing to gat. AHe finally signed and then regretted it,” Miller said. A farm woman was pressured to sell all afternoon, he said, and when she didn’t sign, the agents returned again that night td try again.

"They have plenty of money; there’s no reaeon they can't pay for this land," Miller said. "We’ll go a long ways with theln if they’ll just he decent. But they're not. We don’t want to go to court, but we’re going to if we have to." * Indiana '$ PTA To Meet At Fort Wayne Annual Convention Will Open Tuesday I FORT WAYNE UP — A three- - day annual convention of the Indiana congress of parents and teachers begins here Tuesday with clinic . panels on better homes, schools I and communities high-lighting the t program. , J.

Purchase Os Store Building Announced David Myers, manager of the Firestone Home and Auto Supplies store here, has announced that the store will be moved in the future to the Lehman building, 121 South Second street. The Suttles company handled the transaction. Extensive remodeling will be done in the new location before the move is made. Myers said. He commented that it w4ll probably be or September before the moVe is possible. The new location provides a much larger floor space than the present location at the corner of Third and Monroe streets. SAYS AMERICA (Cuutluue< From Page Our) ters of all the world's people live under censorship and that vast numbers in many areas are illiterate. Into that censorship-illiteracy vacuum "poors the positive and poispnous propaganda of the Soviets" 24 hours a day. To counter this, he called for greater efforts to spread the story of freedom throughout the world and for news not only about big political crises and official statements in various countries but also about the man in the street and his life.
