Lie Delector Test Used On Candidate .< Unusual Twist In Highland Election HAMMOND, Ind. (INS)— Highland is having quite a fling at this game of politics and may have set a political precedent in using a lie detector on a candidate. Key figures in the battle are incumbent town board member John Farmer, who is running for re-election on the new Progressive ticket, and town marshal Edwin T. Hansen, running on the Citizens’ party ticket. All ,000 residents of the Hamfnond suburb have been made aware of the Nov. 8 municipal election through the . struggle which reached a climax when Hansen gave himself a lie detector test. The Citizens' pany now has issued a statement hitting at Farmer for “refusing to take the same l>e detector test." Farmer countered saying: "Hansen “may have made political history when he became the first police chief in history to give himself a lie-detector test, bht he still has the board puzzled as to just what he was trying to prove to himself-—or us.” Hansen retaliated: “Farmer’s reaction to my charges in the open town board meeting is quite characteristic of the man and quite significant. He attempted to brazen it out and dismiss it as fantastic.” Ex-Convict Admits Series Os Thefts INDIANAIPqiUS (INS) —A 26-year-old ex-convict today elaborated on a confession to a one-man crimewave convering 34 burglaries, 13 safe robberies and eight car thefts.

Army Command Aroused Over Missile Vote Joint Chiefs Vote Air Force Control Os Guided Missile WASHINGTON (INS) — The army ' command was reported aroused today over a vote by the joint chiefs of staff to assign “medium range" guided missiles exclusively to the air force. The secret two-to-one vote was reported taken at a meeting of the chiefs late Wednesday, with Adm. Arleigh A. Burke of the navy joining Gen. Nathan F. Twining of the air force against Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor of the army in the decision. Army officials said ground commanders are unwilling to accept any limitations on the distance they may fire missiles. The army command fears that the term "medium range” might include the army’s huge redstone missile —a rocket 60 feet high and five feet in diameter which can be fired nearly 500 miles. If so classified, it would be assigned to the air force. Intercontinental missiles that would travel 5,000 miles are being

developed by the air force. "Medium range" missiles would have a capability somewhere short of the intercontinental distance, but longer than the 100 mile range of rockets already with -the troops. Adin. Arthur W. Rhdford. who as chairman presides over the joint chiefs but has no vote, was said to have persuaded Burke to side with the air force. The army had expected Burke’s support on the issue. The joint chiefs’ recommendations is subject to review by defense secretary Charles E. Wilson, who is now attending the meeting of foreign ministers in Geneva. Switzerland. Army leaders told International News Service that even if the limitation on their missiles were set at 1,500 miles, this would be unacceptable to them. • They pointed out that major purposes of “medium range" missiles would be to destroy tactical air bases, knock out distant communications and delay enemy troop reinforcements. In future wars, they laid, rockets may well accomplish these purposes from distances greater than I, miles. Even in World War 11, they added, the extent of the battlefield was considered unlimited. The air force, on the other hand, has strategic bombing as its primary mission. Military leaders believe that long range missiles may eventually replace manned planes entirely in fulfilling the strategic bombing missions.
