to lure the academy to the Hoosier site. President David Clapp said an operational and maintenance staff of 2,200 persona would be required to man the academy, in addition to 700 or 80V faculty members and 2,600 to 3,500 cadets. Estimated construction costs once were listed at a minimum of 145 million dollars. Annual appropriations for operation were expected to range between 30 and 50 million dollars. Clapp believed location of the academy here would mean a population increase of more than 15,000 for Jefferson County. Madison already has nearly doubled its city population in the last 14 years, largely because of government and affiliated installa tions. The population is estimated

at nearly 11,500 now, compared with about 7,000 in 1940. The academy site is about 10 miles down river (rom the IndianaKentucky electric power plant now being built to furnish power fpr an atomic energy plant at Portsmouth, Ohio. The Jefferson proving ground, which employs about 1,500 persons and covers 58,000 acres of land, is 15 miles from the academy site. This was established during World War 11. Not far away, in adjoining Clark county, are two otberfmllitary Installations, the army Quartermaster depot at Jeffersonville and a powder plant production and bag loading facility at Charlestown. The site is only four miles from the Hanover College campus.

Madison civic leaders believe the Indiana site offers an ideal '■compromise" choide. "Its excellence acd beauty Is beyond criticism and it has had no political pressure promotion," said Arthur E. Wooden, secretary of the Chamber. Clapp and Wooden are optimistic at the chances of Madison being picked. They explain that originally 354 sites were offered by 44 states. An inspection board screened tbe 354 and cut the list to 29, including Madison. Then it actually viewed the surviving sites accompanied by engineering consultants. When, they finished, the list of 29 was reduced to seven and Madison was among them.

T— —— . 1 TTT ' : ’ . \ Indiana Democrats Are Confident Os (saining

(Editor’s notde: This is, the third of a series about Indiana’s May 4 primary.) By KEITH L. MARTIN United Press Staff Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS, L’P — Indiana Democrats, confident they can split the Hoosier congressional delegation this year, expect to pick their winners in « halt dozen districts in the May 4 primary. Their stronghorse is Rep. Ray Madden of Gary, only Democrat among the state’s 11 congressmen. He represents the one-county first district and is regarded an easy winner over one opponent for renomination. There is a Democratic congressional contest in all 11 districts, but most party attention will be focused on the third, seventh and eighth. Party bigwigs expect nominees from those districts to defeat Republican incumbents for house seats in the fall election. They also consider Madden's fall victory "in the bag." In addition, they believe the fifth and ninth districts could easily swing back into the Democratic fold, and there is an "outaide chance" of it in the tenth. These calculations, leaving a margin for error, indicate the Democrats will take five or six seats In the fall, as party leaders figure it. The race for the third district nomination attracted the most entries. Democrats fielded seven men and expect fall election of the nominee principally because the South Bend area is hardest hit with unemployment. Voter sentiment seems to be split between John Brademas and John Gonaa, both of South Bend,

it was reported. * The economic factor also is considered a Democratic asset in the eighth district, down along the Ohio River. In this one, former Rep. Winfield Denton of Evansville hopes to return to Washington after a two-year absence, but first must hurdle opposition from William Davidson. Denton has labor's vote, reports say. In the seventh district, George Gettinger, Sullivan, has built up a strong organization for an apparent edge over three party foes. Democratic voters in the fifth district will choose between six congressional hopefuls, including former Rep. John Walsh, Anderson. In the tenth district, the personality appears to be Mrs. Inez Scholl, Connersville. The Democratic national committeewoman for the state, she prodded Hoosier women into selling so many subscriptions for a new party magazine that Indiana ranks behind only New York and California In total sales. 2_ Mrs. Schell’s big talking point is farm problems, and many persons expert her to win the nomination from Randall Harman, Mancie—because he previously ran in GOP congressional primaries and because he is nine-tenths of a candidate, having been ruled off the Delaware county ballot when he filed for two offices. To win where they figure they will, Democratic nominees would have to defeat such Republican representatives as Shepard Crumpacker, Jr., Bailey Merrill, William Bray and John Beamer, the latter if he wins his primary contest.
