Welfare Head Backs Ike's School Plans Mrs. Oveta Hobby Says Program To Ease Up Shortage WASHINGTON (INS) — Wei fare secretary Oveta Culp Hobby told congress today that President Eisenhower’s school construction program will mean 200,000 new Class-rooms for’ six million American children. Mrs. Hobby, testifying before the senate labor committee, said the administration’s plan will build needed schools faster and in larger numbers than legislation backed by senate Democrats. IT. 8. education commissioner Samuel M. Brownell said, in a statement that was part of Mrs. Hobby’s presentation, that 300.000 classrooms are needed "to eliminate overcrowded, unsafe and unhealthfur schools. L Mrs Hobby, referring to the bill introduced’ by committee chairman Lister Hill (D-Ala.) and nearly 30 other senators, said that when federal funds are provided for direct aid to schools, "there is an understandable tendency on the part of many school districts to defer building plans in the hope they will be among those receiving some of the money.” The President’s program consists largely of federal help to enable schools or state authorities to sell bonds, to get construction money. Mrs. Hobby declared: “The President’s program in contrast (to the Hill bill) encourages local and state initiative and immediate action to speed school construction because the aid ottered is contingent upon first seeking financing through usual channels.” She said the school shortage is so severe that the U.S. must construct 50,000 new classrooms annually for 10 years it all children are to go to school in something other than “unsafe and otherwise unsuitable” quarters. Democrats on the committee made it clear she faces an uphill struggle. Sen. Paul Douglas (DIll.) said that the administration bill “seems to me to be a sort of Rube Goldberg device, piling one complexity upon another.” Sen. James Murray (D-Mont.h another committeeman. said he doubts very much that the Eisen- ' hower bill will ever get out of committee. 4 ANTI-REDS (Continued from rage On») * of newsmen and photographers, and then closed the door.

If the federal council approves And. if .further surrender talks fall, the building may be stormed by armored cars. Six men, carrying automatic weapons, hand grenades and gas masks, entered the legation grounds late Monday night. They shot tbeir way into the building about 3 o’clock Tuesday morning, wounded the legation chauffeur fatally and forced the charge d’affaires and his staff into the streets. The Swiss reportedly told the exiles that if they surrendered, they would not be deported but held for a fair trial in Switzerland for the killing of the chauffeur Auiel Setu. Setu died Tuesday in a Bern hospital after being shot four times when he went to the aid of his wife who had been bound and gagged by the attackers. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Social Security Cards Are Doubled . Many More Persons Covered This Year The number of social security cards Issued by the Ft. Wayne social security office duringf January aas approximately double the average issued during the last six months, Christian H. W. Luecke. manager, announced today in submitting his report for January. Luecke gave as the reason for this increase the great number of additional persons newly covered by the law because of the 1054 amendments. This includes certain professional people such as accountants, architects, professional engineers, and funeral directors, ministers, self-employed farmers, additional farm hands and additional domestic workers in private homes. The social security card is important to all persons covered by the social security law because it represents his or her account with the social security administration. Any benefits payable are based on the wages credited to this account. If the number or name of the worker is missing or incorrect on the employer’s quarterly tax report or the self employed persons schedule Ca, the worker may not receive proper credit for his earnings. The report for January 1955 is as follows: Account number cards issued, 1215; Assistance to employers on wage record reporting. 37; new claims cleared, 314; Beneficiaries served, 642; General inquirers served. 1.725. A total of 3,933 persons were served by the Ft. Wayne office during the month of January. This was an average of 187 per day. Luecke said. The Ft, Wayne office is located at 717 Fulton street and is open from 8:30 to 4:30, Monday/through report on the estimate was made tained in Angela, Auburn. Berne, Bluffton. Columbia City, Decatur. Huntington, Kendallville, and Ligonier.

BOOHER (Con ti n ued from Page One) In a summary statement McClenahan objected to the admission of the statement as evidence on the grounds that it was not voluntary and that the state did not prove without the statement that Booher had stolen the check. Judge Myles Parrish was expected to rule on the question of admitting the statement during this afternoon's session.

Research has shown that somewhere. just beyond the horizon at the moment, is anew type of sea warcraft that can measure up better to modern demands. The necessity fbr warcraft that can carry guided missiles and have greater maneuverability was stressed at a recent session of the House of Lords tn London by Lord Carrington. Parliamentary Secretary. He stated: "We are on the threshold ot new developments in the use of guided weapons in sea warfare." It was conceded that converting battleships to such a purpose would be too expensive. Since the Battle of Jutland in 1916. they have decreased in both numbers and power.

Charges Neglect At State School Mistreatment Os Girlls Charged INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Rep. Mildred Churilla said today she will make a personal investigation of charges that an East Chicago girl was neglected at the Fort Wayne state hospital. Mrs. Chirrilla, freshman, legislator and widow of Rep. Louis Churilla, of East Chicago, is a member of the house public health and the benevolent and scientific institutions She said the nine-year-old daugh ter of a couple, she did not identify. was in good physical condition when admitted to the school for feeble-minded children but was suffering malnutrition and skin infection when they removed her. Mrs. Churilla said: "If the treatment this girl -evidently received at the school is prevaleht there, something must be done about it." DOUBTS IKE HAS (Continued from Page One) spring to the defense gs Quemoy and Matsu by their warning to the Chinese Reds that such an assault would risk war with this country. In addition, Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek announced in Taipei that he understood the U. S. is pledged to help him defend thA two islands which command the entrance to the harbors of Amoy and Foochow. — President Eisenhower has always said that if there is time enlligh he will always consult congress before ordering American military forces into any action. Others in the administration hold the view, however, that mutual defense treaties, sEich as the one ratified by the senate with Formosa, carry with them automatic authorization for the President to act on his own initiative. This would be in case congress is not in session, or if timing of an enemy attack is such that even a few hours' delay would be considered highly dangerous. > Trade in a Good Town — Decatur |

Testimony Starts In Alabama Trial Charges Murder Os Anti-Vice Crusader BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (INS) — Testimony will start today in the trial of Albert Fuller, former deputy sheriff of crime-ridden Russell county, who is charged with the murder of anti-vice crusader Albert L. Patterson. The selection of a 12-man jury to try the 35-year-old ousted law official was completed Tuesday night at the Jefferson county court house in Birmingham. Patterson was shot down in gangland-style at Phenix City. Ala., last June 18, just after he had won the democratic nomination for Alabama Attorney General on a "clean-up” platform. He virtually Was assured of election in Democratic Alabama. Former Solicitor Arch Ferrell, also charged with Patterson’s murder, won delay in his trial when the state elected to try Fuller first. A third defendant. Si Garrett, who was Alabama Attorney General when Patterson was shot down in a Phenix City alley, is currently in a Galveston, Tex., hospital undergoing mental treatment It still has not been determined what the state will seek to prove —whether Fuller actually shot Patterson or whether he conspired in the murder. Under Alabama law, there is no difference between the actual murderer and an accomplice. The murder of Patterson touched off a wholesale clean-up of Phenix City, once known as the “sintown of the south.” V | Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Says Farm Income Below Fair Return • Master Os Grange States Position WASHINGTON (INS) — The oldest U. S. farm organisation is convinced that the one sure way out of the farm recession is to sell consumers on the idea that a good diet must have first claim on the pay check. Herschel NewSom. master of the National Grange, made this position clear in a speech before the Pacific Northwest farm forum in which he said the general public is going to have more and more influence on farm policies ranging all the way from taxes to land problems. Food, he said. Is often a residual item in the family budget which is bought only after the householder has paid off the installments on the automobile and the television set. Newsom set out some hard economic facts. Farmers, he pointed out, are not good customers for anyone at present because the prices they receive are averaging only 86 per cent of a fair return on the investment. The Grange leader added: “This causes industrial dislocations and a material overall reduction in national buying power. "Farmers use annually IS and one-half billion gallons of crude petroleum—more than any other industry. In used more finished steel than was used in the manufacturing of automobiles and trucks. “History teaches us that poverty on the land leads to depression off the land.” Newsom said he can’t conceive of anything short of a depresion bringing labor’s wages down, and he hastened to add that the Grange doesn't want to see them come down. But he went on to say that inasmuch as wages make up such a large share of the cost of things farmers must buy he’d prefer them to be just a little more flexible. The Grange president then got off onto the possibilities for further advances of agriculture through modern science and productive capacity. He concluded that the end is nowhere in sight in this direction. For example, Newsom pointed out that agriculture—in terms of total income—is spending only oneninth as much on research as industry spends. '.-As prospects for future work in this field he noted that farmers lost 10 percent of the animals each year from diseases and parasites, and that insects destroy four billion dollars worth of crops annually. He added that crops aie still pleagued with 30,000 diseases and an estimated one-fourth of U. S. food production spoils before it reaches the dinner table. Newsom took the position that farm price supports are necessary at the moment, but he said tney attack the symptoms and not the causes of surpluses. He concluded: "They (supports) must be tampered with only with great care. Farm income is al ready too low for national comfort It is far too low for rural comfort. Any adjustment must be made gradually. The expense of “the~present program, "while high, may be a cheap investment in relation to escaping a total national recession or depression.” PASSES BILL (Continued from Page On el days and holiday, establishment of branches. The senate, which devoted much of its afternoon session to the 19-year-old vote bill, did pass some measures, however. Included were: Appropriate SSOO annually to the Indiana swine breeders association to help defray cost of Its annual convention. Permit county pf-dsecutors to make preliminary investigations before filing criminal charges. Permit the state highway department and local departments to erect stop signs at dangerous railroad grade crossings and require that drivers stop within 50 feet and not less than 10 feet from such signs.
