New Mental Health Commissioner Named Dr. Stewart Ginsberg Appointed By. Handley INDIANAPOLIS <UP»- Dr. Stewhrt T. Ginsberg, chief of the psychiatric division for all Veterans Administration mental hospitals; will become Indiana mental health commissioner May i 1, Governor Handley announced today. Handley called a news conference to report that his search for a good administrative psychiatrist ended with Ginsberg's acceptance i of an offer to return to the state i where he spent 12 recent years as director of professional services at the Marion Veterans Hospital. “He impressed me very much,” Handley said, “because principally he has a wealth of experience in administration. I think we’ve got a man of high caliber in a great many fields.” Ginsberg will succeed Dr. Margaret E. Morgan, an appointee of ex-Gov. Gporge Craig, who resigned effective the day of Hndley's inauguration. Dr. Morgan's last few months on duty featured a clash with Dr. W.R. Van Den Bosch, then superintendent of Beatty Hospital at Westville, over operation of the maximum security unit for insane* criminals at Beatty. Since Dr. Morgan’s resignation. Dr. John W. Southworth, superintendent of the Logansport State Hospital, has been acting mental health commissioner. Handley said a conference after Ginsberg arrives will determine whether Southworth will return to Logansport. Ginsberg will receive $18,500 a year salary, plus $2,500 subsistence allowance and the right to lecture for extra fees at Indiana University Medical School, where he was an instructor for a time while on duty at the Marion VA hospital between 1941 and 1953. Handley said he knew Ginsberg had several other offers with greater pay and believed Gins-
berg selected the Indiana job because of his familiarity with this state. Ginsberg became manager of a Veterans Hospital at Pittsburgh after his Marion experience and has held his present job since 1*55. He is 50 years old. Charles Van Doren Hits Snag Monday Held To Tie Gome By Lady Attorney \ NEW YORK an - Charles Van Doren, a college instructor who has amassed $143,000 by bowling over 13 opponents in a TV quiz game, ran into a snag Monday night—a blonde with brains. Mrs. Vivienne Nearing, a 30-year-old attorney from New York, detoured Van Doren in his bid to boost his winnings even higher on NBC-TV's "Twenty One,” a giveaway based roughly on the card game, "blackjack.” Mrs. Nearing and Van Doren, tackling questions on “famous pairs” and “the Twenties,” played a tie game. They will return to the show next Monday to enter round two of their battle. A loss would automatically knock him off the show. Van Doren, sen of Pulitzer Prize poet Mark Van Doren, is the biggest winner for a single quiz show.' An 11-year-old stock expert, Leonard Ross of Tujunga, Calif., has won $164,000 on two shows—“ The Big Surprise” and “The $64,000 Challenge.” On his previous appearances on the quiz, the 31-year-old Van Daren had piled up a stake of $138,000. The slim bachelor, who has an expert working on his tax problem, figures he would wind up with "somewhat more than $40,000” of his present winnings, if forced to declare it as a single year’s income. ■ Trade in a good town — Decatur
Reject Increase In 61 Home Loan Rate House Committee Rejects Request WASHINGTON (UP>—The House Veterans Committee claimed today to have opened the way for a substantial rural GI home building program and hinted of help to come for veterans in big cities. The committee turned down the administration’s request Monday for an increase from 444 to 5 per i cent ini interest rates on comtner- > cial GI home loans guaranteed by : the government. It also voted to ; liberalize an existing program of direct government loans to homebuying veterans in non urban . areas. Federal housing administrator , Albert M. Cole assailed the com- , mittee's action as a "very serious blow” to the hopes of thousands of j veterans unable to get home loans at the 444 per cent rate. Coje said he will support action on the House floor to amend the 1 committee’s bill to authorize in- ■ creasing the rate to 5 per cent to ' “put veterans in a more favorable ' competitive position to get the mortgage funds they need.” Committee Chairman Olin E. Teague <D-Tex) reported that Cole , himself put the veterans in a disadvantageous position when he authorized an increase in the FHA I loan rate from 4% to 5 per cent late last year. . As for the Teague amendment, Teague said it was directed to- ’ ward helping the rural veterans' who he said never have been able to get GI loans — even in the period when 444 per cent mortgages were generally available in the cities. “There will be other action later ■ to help veterans in the metropoli--1 tan areas,” Teague told a newsman. He declined to say what he had in mind. But there have been indications from other sources that the committee may get behind a liberalization* of FHA loan provisions to give veterans the same 2 per cent down payment privilege they have enjoyed under GI loans. Since this would be at the new and higher FHA rate, in effect it would be about the same as increasing the GI loan rate to 5 per cent as the administration wants. However, the direct government loan for veterans outside the big cities would remain at 444 per cent. Also, veterans able to find private GI mdßpy at 444 per cent could continue to use the GI program. Calf Purchased Here Will Go To Turkey A Guernsey calf purchased from funds raised by the Bethany Evangelical United Brethren church here will be among 40 flown this week to Ankara, Turkey. Churches of the Indiana conference north took part in the fund raising program. The Rev. Armour J. Keller, of South Whitley, will accompany the flight, and spend five days in Turkey as a guest of that country’s government. He will be accompanied by the Rev. Edward J. Yutzy, of Haven, Kans., who is representing the Mennonite churches, which also helped purchase the calves. The carves will oe part of a foundation herd op an agricultural farm near Ankara, Turkey. A percentage of the offspring will be given to needy families after the families have received training at the farm in the care of cattle. | FT

COMMITTEE (roati»—< Page OM) He said he "doubts very much” if Congress will pass any new allotment or soil bank law this year unless corn belt Republicans agree to the Democratic plan to spread benefits to all grain growers. ' The Democrats want: —An increase in the corn planting allotment in the commercial area from 37.3 million acres to 43.2 million acres. —Permission for growers of corn, cotton, wheat and other "basic” crops all over the country to put a portion of their additional grain acreage into the soil bank in return for federal payments. The Republicans want: —An increase in the corn allotments, which affects only the “commercial” area, from 37.3 million acres to 51m illion acres. —Price supports fol* commercial area farmers who comply with the new allotment and’ deposit in the soil bank an acreage equal to 15 per cent of their individual farm I allotments. —nmr-T=mnr—

Fort Wayne Business Area Is Threatened Fire, which broke out about 11:30 o’clock this morning, menaced a large area of the main business section of Fort Wayne today. The fire started in the Meyer’s Drug stort) building on Calhoun street at Jefferson. The walls of the building were near collapse at ‘ 2 o’clock this afternoon. No firemen had been seriously hurt but several had been overcome by smoke. Calls were issued for all firemen, off duty, to report to assist in fighting the fire and all available equipment was called into service.

And, he said, Egypt has no right either to bar Israeli ships from the Straits of Tiran so long as they are going through under the right of “innocent passage.” Await New Proposals Israel has refused to pull its troops out of the Aqaba area near Tiran or from the Gaza Strip until it has “guarantees” that its ships will not be fired upon, as they have in the past, and that Gaza will not be used as a base for attacks on Israel by Egyptian raiders. In 10 days of trying the United States has not produced a formula suitable to the Israelis. Mr. Eisenhower on Sunday refused to offer Israel any more concessions as a precondition to withdrawal of her troops. This government has promised repeatedly to do everything it can to help Israel after troop withdrawals. U.S. officials meanwhile awaited new proposals imported in the making in Jerusalem. But there were signs U.S. patience was ■* wearing thin. President Eisenhower rebuked Israel Sunday for defying, up to now, “the overwhelming judgment of the world community.” Trade in a good town — Decatur nn 1
