Governor. George N. Craig, quit to become Marion county prosecutor and directed the recent grand jury investigation of the toll road bribery charge scandal. One of the politically wisest senators, Roy Conrad, of Monticello, who represents Clinton, Carroll and White counties, is preparing for his primary campaign with might and main aided by his charming and also politically astute wife, Beth. Conrad was the governor's floor leader in, two legislative sessions but divorced himself from Craig after receiving rough treatment from the “Palace Guard” of Legionnaires who surrounded the governor. A prominent Democrat, Senator Eugene Bainbridge, of Munster, also mustXace the voters. He was his party’s caucus chairman in the 1955 session. Senator William B. Headley, of Bloomington, may face opposition in the GOP primary from Norman Neely, Bloomington attorney who was house Republican majority leader in the 1958 legislature. Other Republican senators whose terms have expired are D. Russell Bontrager. Elkhart; Freeman C. Yehger, South Bend; Willis K. Batchelet, Angola; Howard Steele, Knox; Floyd Stevens, Claypool; Lucius Somers, Hoagland; Wesley Malone, Clinton, author of the toll road law; Charles F.

Conrad, Terre Haute. Gen. Taylor Favors More Army Strength Need More Troops For Ideal Strength WASHINGTON (INS) — Army chief of staff Maxwell D. Taylor believes that an “ideal” strength for the army calls for eight or nine more divisions than presently provided for by the administration. But Taylor emphasized that he was speaking as an army man who "never can afford to be satisfied with any form of military strength.” , Appearing on the CBSTV program "Face The Nation” Sunday, Taylor said it would be “inappropriate” tor him to comment on charges by Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, his predecessor as chief of staff, that the administration has based its military decisions on political considerations. He said, however, that his military views "rather coincide” with those of Ridgway, explaining that they pad the "same vision” of a "highly mobile, well - weapohed” army. The army chief denied that he had been subject to any “compulsion” by civilian officials to fall in line with administration budgetary policies. . The general said a 27 or 28 division army with 1,500,000 men would have “no known or provable soft spots,” . Present plans call for a 19 division army by June. Taylor said, however, that if he were secretary of defense he "quite likely” would not approve a 28division army. “If you would give me the ideal force, I would say I have plugged evety gap I know." He said he is not satisfied with the number of troops that can be moved by the air force, but added

Negro Co-ed Turns Down Danish Offer Planning Return To U. Os Alabama BIRMINGHAM, Ala- (INS) — Autherine Lucy, whose enrollment at the University ot Alabama touched off rioting, today turned down advice to attend the University of Copenhagen. While she awaits action on a petition to. re-admit her to Alabama, a Negro church group urged her to accept a scholarship offer by the Danish university., r— — "-No,” she said " "It would be interesting to go to school in Denmark and I would love to do it, if I did not have the desire to attend the University of Alabama, and stay and work in my home state. 1 don’t know, but I don’t thyik studying abroad would be too much benefit here.” The 26-year-old Birmingham woman was excluded from classes at the University of Alabama last week- Her first four days on the campus brought three days of rioting by students and others. She was the first Negro ever admitted to the 125-year-old school. Miss Lucy said she has a "keen feeling” she will go back to the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, after a hearing on Feb- 29 in federal district court at Birmingham on her petition for mentTwin Brothers Deny Slaying Cub Scout 14-Year-Old Boys Deny Slaying Lad WHEELING, W.

Plans Legislation To Aid Car Buyers WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney (D-Okla.) will sponsor legislation which he says will save American car buyers S2BO million a year. Monroney, chairman of a senate subcommittee studying the auto marketing field, said Sunday the saving would result from outlawing "phantom freight” charges by car manufacturers. 4 '■ — Kennedy Boomed As Governor Candidate Wabash Judge Will Quit Bench April 1 . INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — A boom for Wabash circuit judge Byron C. Kennedy for the Republican gubernatorial nomination appeared to be developing today. The skilled maneuvers of former Governor Ralph F. Gates seemed to be playing a part In the possible candidacy. Judge Kennedy was as sistant director of the state conservation department during the Gates administration. Gates, who is national committeeman and who also would like to be GOP state chairman, is known to be ready tq offer his services as a governor maker in the event of an expected deadlock between the forces of Governor George N. Craig and his enemies. This situation is ideal for Gates, a shrewd hotel-room manipulator on the eve of conventions. • “Justice for northern Indiana" might be a campaign slogan for Judge Kennedy. This arises from the fact that southern Indiana now has the three major state officers— Senator Homer E. Capehart, of Washington; Senator William E. Jenner, of Bedford, and -Governor Craig, of Brazil, and there are no GOP gubernatorial aspirants from northern Indiana to date. The announced candidates are state revenue commissioner Frank T. Millis, of Campbellsburg and Indianapolis; Dan Cravens, of Franklin, former member of the Indiana alcoholic beverage commission; and state representative Merrett R. Monks, of Winchester. The Kennedy bid seemed to be serious after he announced he would retire from the circuit court bench on April 1. He became judge in 1934 at the early age of 26. He is a member of the board of governors of the Indiana Judges association. Kennedy said he is retiring to enter private law practice in Wabash. * The state constitution prohibits a judge from running for an offfce in other branches of government. Kennedy.’s retirement prior to the GOP state convention will overcome, this legal roadblock. i There are some indications that Lieut. Gov. Harold W. Handley, of LaPorte, will announce for governor this week on ananti-Cralg platform. But Handley refused comment. He did ~ reiterate his statement that he has rejected a bid of Thomas E. Bath, St. Joseph county chairman, for HAndley to run for congress from the third district. Although the politicos suspected Governor Craig of senatorial ambitions because of his unusual and

extensive speaking tour of the state now In progress, the governor again said he was not an aspirant. Thousands of signers of petitions to place the name of President Eisenhower on Indiana's presidential preferential primary ballot have been obtained by Republican county chairman and others in all quarters of the state. This movement will be crystallised at a huge meeting of party leaders at the Eisenhower petition dinner as Merrill’s Restaurant at the state fairgrounds Saturday. This is a pet enterprise of Governor Craig, who may be left high and dry if ike decides not to run. RECESS PUBLIC ’ (Continued From Page tine) a man representing Case.
