S. air force academy—expected to be one of the world's moat glamorous institutions of higher education — are far below anticipated numbers. The air force high command had believed that thousands of American youths would eagerly seek enrollment in the "West Point of the Skies,” which opens tn temporary quarters at Lowry air force base. Denver, next July 1, and goes into the permanent installation at Colorado Springs in 1957. But the applicants so far total only 500. The country's top military airmen, perhaps misled by their own burning devotion to their profession, had predicted there Would be at least 5,000 aspirants to the pioneer plebe, or freshman, class, which will be limited to 300. Despite this, the men who will direct the school which will be a prime source of “supply for the naLET US DELIVER YOUR SIEGLER ' >C ATER NOW* KINKS

Some civilian friends of the air force have expressed concern over the possibility that the wArld-wlde Communist propaganda machine might have attempted to make a career in U. S. military aviation unpopular with young Americans. These observers suggest that Communists and their sympathizers could have spread malicious rumors to the effect that modernday jet fighters and other up-to-the-minute aircraft are too “hot” to handle with maximum safety. The Pentagon discounts such ideas and ita spokesmen express confidence that, given time, the air force academy will be as coveted a goal for American youngsters as West Point and Annapolis long have been. One top officer said: “The air force accident rate is at an all-time low. Even jet fighters, continually breaking speed records, have a lower accident rate than piston-engine fighters ever had.” If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.

Ike's Appearance. Frankly Political State GOP Hopeful Appearance To Aid r INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Aides of President Eisenhower may quibble about whether his Indianapolis appearance Friday is '‘political'* or "won-political” but indtana (Republicans have no squeamishness on the subject. It's political. Indiana state Republican chairman Alvin C. Cast frankly admitted to newsmen that he considered the choice of his state for the pres; ident’s major farm address would be of “tremendous help” in saving certain threatened congressional seats front the clutches of the Democrats. While Cast would not admit the likelihood that any of the present nine Hoosier congressmen arid one congresswoman would end up loser, Nov. 2, he said: “L think the fact the President is stopping in Indiana—the only spot between Denver and Washington —will be a tremendous help in the eighth and third. Those are the only two districts, in my opinion, where we face any great threat." The Eighth district race involves Congressman D. Bailey Merrill (R) who is up against a fight for political life against a former congressman, Winfield K. Denton, Evansville Democrat. The third district race has congressman Shepard J. Crumpacker, Jr., seeking his third term, and getting a strenuous fight from the Democratic nominee, John Brademas, of South BendMurray Snyder, acting White House news secretary, in announcing the scheduling of Butler University fieldhouse in Indianapolis as site for the midwest address on farm and food policy by the President, had said the talk “will hot be an appeal for the election of Republicans.” But the Indiana GOP, which assumed full charge of events even though the invitation was extended by the national institute of animal agriculture, obviously is counting heavily on President Elsenhower to elect their candidates. Cast's statement made it clear Hoosiers are too down to earth to call a spade a rose. However, a decision was made to have Harry J. Reed, chairman of the token sponsor; the national institute of animal agriculture, introduce the President at the Friday night program. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. and Eisenhower’s address is from 8:00 to 8:30 p.m. and will be broadcast and televised. A bipartisan touch was added when Cast said that the entire Hoosier congressional delegation will be invited to sit on the platform with the President, including Indiana's lone Democrat, Ray Madden. of Gary. That leaves it up to congressman Madden to attend or find he has a previous appointment. Senators Homer E. Capehart and William E. Jenner, leaders of the intraparty GOP faction opposed to Gov. George N. Craig and the Republican state committee, also have been asked to be on the reception committee for the Eisenhower appearance. New Tank-Buster Unveiled By Army WASHINGTON (INS) — The army has unveiled its latest and ihost powerful tank-buster—a new anti-tank gun capable of destroying the world’s most-heavily armored tank at 1,000 yards.

Sheppard’s Murder > * Trial Opens Monday Doctor To Testify In Own Defense CLEVELAND (INS) — Dr. Samuel Sheppard will testify in his own defense at his first degree murder trial starting Monday in Cleveland in an effort to refute the state’s charge that he bludgeoned his wife to death last July Fourth. This was disclosed today by the 30-year-old osteopath's chief defense counsel, William Corrigan, who is making final preparations for the most publicized murder trial in Cleveland's history. "After alir* said? the veteran criminal lawyer, "Dr. Sheppard is the one who is charged with first degree murder and who would know better than he what he did the night his wife was murdered? He definitely will take the stand." This met with the wholehearted approval of Cuyahoga county prosecutors who have said they would “welcome the chance" to crossexamine “Dr, Sam.” Corrigan s announcement came as he prepared to file a motion before Common Pleas Judge Edward Blythin Thursday to have the trial moved out of the county. He charges that an impartial jury could not be selected in the county because he claims Dr. Sheppard has “already beenconvicte(i’’in local newspaper reports of the slaying.’ The silver-haired attorney would hot speculate on the outcome of his motion for a change of venue, which he says is the first he has ever requested, but prosecution officials claim there is little chance Corrigan will succeed. Assistant county prosecutor John J. Mahon, who will present the state's case against the prominent, suburban Bay Village* osteopath, said he cannot recall any murder trial ever being transferred out of the county because an impartial jury could not be selected. He also claimed that "Dr. bam” received fair treatment in local newspaper reports. County Rural Youth Plan Activities Retiring officers of the Adams county rural youth met with the new officers last night and planned a program for next year's meetings. Dates, places, time of meeting, and a suitable educational feature for each meeting, plus recreation and entertainment, were taken into consideration.
