Craig To Deliver TV Speech In June Denies Debate Offer A Publicity Effort INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —ls Governor George N. Craig’s offer to debate nine Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls simultaneously was the publicity-seeking effort that Demaorstio state chairman Charles Skillen says it was-then, it has succeeded in getting publicity. But so far, no debate. Latest chapter in the story is an announcement by Governor Craig that he would deliver a television address in June and hoped to have nine empty chairs ranged in the background, signifying the nine Democratic candidates he had offered to debate- : Nelson Grills, Marion cofcinty Democratic chairman and one of the nine announced cadidates for goveror from his party, promptly retorted: (> •If there are nine chair* in the TV studio when the governor speaks, I’ll be in one of them." Grills had made a personal acceptance of Craig’s debate offer, after an earlier suggestion that the best-qualified orator among the nine be chosen in preliminary contests was not accepted. S. Hugh Dillin, of Petersburg, another Democratic governor candidate, also issued a public reply accepting the debate offer but did not accept directly. Skillen turned down the offer-tendered to him by bls Rebuplican counterpart Alvin Cast — saying it was a publicity stunt In hi* statement Tuesday night, Gov. Craig denied his intentions were publicity-seeking, explaining that bis purpose was to give the Democrats an opportunity to debate on the work of his administration, which several candidates have criticised. Craig declined to debate one single candidate, saying that this would defeat the purpose of giving all the Democratic candidates a public comment on the present state administration, and added: •ft would also place a single candidate in the position of representing the Democrats and thus might unduly affect the coure of the Democratic state convention." The governor said he would make the June TV broadcast in lieu of the one-against-nine debate.

Grandstaff was spokesman for a group which appeared before the city council to launch a movement for a municipal airport. Plans for this airport were approved in November and then abandoned in December, 1941, following the attack on Pearl Harbor and the beginning of the' war which grounded private planes.

Gleason And Como Given TV Awards Peabody Awards Are Announced Today NEW YORK (INS) — Saturday night television rivals Jackie Gleason and Perry Como were honored together today with a “double” Peabody award for distinguished achievement in TV entertainment. The Gleason-Como award and 14 other George Foster Peabody awards and citations were announced by board chairman Bennett Cerf and presented by Dean John H. Drewry of the University of Georgia's Henry W. Grady school of journalism. Cerf explained the double award by pointing out that comedian Gleason and singer Como “split the television audience on Saturday evenings almost squarely down the middle,” and so it was fitting that "the same pattern" be followed in handing out awards. The dramatic entertainment award went to NBC-TV’s “producers’ Showcase” for its presentation to family audiences of classic dramatic entertainment with top talent. A special bow was given the “Producers’ Showcase" televising of “Peter Pan.” 4 CBS television reporter Douglas. Edwards won an award in television news for his program “Douglas Edwards with the News” in “a time when a mature approach to news coverage has become a vital public service.” The award for television youth and children’s programs went to CBS-TV’s “LAssie” because it “stresses those qualities of relationship which make for sound youthful growth and development, a good sense of values and wholesome social adjustments.” A television education citation was presented “Omnibus” for that CBS program’s series on the historically important Adams family. The radio-television music award went to ABC’s “Voice of Firestone.” NBC's chairman of the board, Sylvester L. (Pat) Weaver Jr., walked away with the radio-television public service award for his “daring innovations.” The radio-television promotion of international understanding

U. N. Council Studies Hext Meet In Geneva Move Gains Ground To Hear Secretary Report In Geneva UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (INS) —A move gained ground in the UN today to dramatize Dag Hammarskjold’s forthcoming report on his Mideast mission by convoking a special session of the security council in Geneva in May. It was learned authoritatively that the U.S. will not oppose a Geneva meeting of the U-nation body if there is majority sentiment in favor of holding the session there instead of in New York, Hammarskjold is scheduled under the terms of his peace mandate to report back to the council by the first, week of next month. The UN chief may initially submit a “progress” report followed by a thorough summation of his efforts to prevent an Arab-Israeli war. Plans for a- Geneva session are still in the discussion stage. However, a number of council delegatee reportedly favor a meeting abroad and indications are that political expediency will give impetus to such a step. The “paper war” between Israel and Egypt, meanwhile, continued unabated at global headquarters. Israel submitted two new communications to U.S. ambassadoor Hepry Cabot Lodge, council president for April, on the fighting In and around the Gaza strip. Israeli ambassador Abba S. Eban charged in the latest protest "Egyptian murder gangs” continued to infiltrate Israeli territory to carry on attacks and to sabotage.

He said the Russians now are trying to persuade the world that all that was wrong in Soviet policy before could be traced to Stalin personally and that it now was the nation of peace. The veteran British diplomat said the free world must show itself to the Russians to be the real guardians of peace. Sir Pierson said he believed the United Nations has not and should not become a world governing body but that it has done a remarkably good job of reflecting world opinion and keeping the peace shaky as it may be. He also said he thought the United Nations, particularly the security council, had turned in a good job of preventing an outbreak of war in the Middle East, however, he said this situation remained “critical and explosive.” JEFFERSON (Continued From Page One) class of 1956 valedictorian and salutatoriaA.

STEVENSON IS (Continued from Page One) Kefauver's failure to measure up to the "10 per cent” yardstick. The spokesman pointed out that Stevenson captured more votes than Kefauver got in 1952 when the Tennesseean was unopposed on the ballot Stevenson's Illinois victory was only a "paper" triumph, however, since delegates are not bound by results of the preferential vote. Direct ballot clashes between the two chief Democratic contenders lie ahead in the Florida and California state p: .maries. Both candidates also will campaign for write-in votes in Oregon. Kefauver won in New Hampshire and Wisconsin—where Stevenson was not an active candidate —and scored a surprising upset over the 1952 party standard-bear-er in the Minnesota primary.
