Mass Os Cold Air May Miss Indiana Indications Point To Northward Veer By UNITED PRESS A “real cold" air mass which threatened to make the last day of summer the coldest of the season in Indiana has veered northward and probably will miss Hoosierland. The weather bureau had predicted high readings in the 50s Saturday and the chilly temperatures had posed a threat of frost for Saturday night. But later advisories indicated the cold air changed its course and will touch only the extreme northern tip of the state, if it hits any part at all. The net result was a forecast of nearly 20 degrees variation in high temperatures Saturday—o 9 in the northern third, 84 in the central and 86 in the south. Muggy weather remained settled over most of the state this morning on the heels of moderate to heavy rainfall in the 24-hour period ending this morning Portland Anderson, Fort Wayne. Danville. Bluffton and Montezuma recorded between 1 and inches of rain. Muncie, Winchester, Ko- > homo. Crawfordsville, Greencastle. Marion, Terre Haute, Indianapolis, Lafayette, Warsaw, Spencer and Noblesville had between .50 and an inch. South Bend and Evansville at extreme ends of the state, had less than half an inch. The five-day outlook for Saturday through next Wednesday called for temperatures averaging normal to 3 degrees below normal highs of 70 to 0 and lows of 49 to 61. "Becoming warmer Saturday and Sunday, then cooler Sunday night and Monday," the outlook said. "Continued cool Tuesday and Wednesday. Precipitation will average .50 to 1 inch in showers Friday night or Saturday and again Sunday night or Monday.” The mercury hit 4 at South Bend and Fort Wayne and 81 at Evans-

Anti-Reds Seeking Control Os Marino Oldest And Tiniest Republic In Turmoil SAN MARINO (UP) — Communist officials barricaded themtelves in the government palace today to frustrate any attempt by . an anti - Communist regime from moving in and taking over control , of this tiny republic on Italy's J Adriatic coast This 38-square-mile republic, the world’s oldest and tiniest, Thursday found itself with two rival governments after days of politi--1 cal maneuvering. The battle for control exploded into a melee of fistfighting in the town square between some 600 I Communist supporters, brought in ; from the fields and factories, and anti-Communist councillors. Thursday night. Communist officials moved into the 15th Century government palace, bed and baggage. Outside the palace, party henchmen set up an all nightguard, sitting on the cobbled pavement nursing straw - covered flasks of chianti wine and waving away all who came near. Secretary of State Domenico Moganti stuck his head out of a window Thursday night and announced the republic would hold general elections on Nov. 3. He indicated the Communists would not leave the palace before then The Communists, who have ruled this mountain-top enclave 1 since World War 11, Thursday dissolved the ruling Grand and General Council, which serves as parliament. But the anti-Communists, led by the Christian Democrats, immediately charged that the Red action was illegal and set up a ri- , val executive council.

Pleasant Mills PTA Meet Monday Night The opening meeting of the year for the Pleasant Mills parent teacher association is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Monday at the school. The meeting will be a "get-acquainted” mixer and will feature the Pleasant Mills high school band. Consider Mug Shots On Driver'|license Indiana Studying Photo Requirement INDIANAPOLIS (UP)-Indiana State Motor Vehicles Commissioner Robert McMahan said today he is considering a requirement that Hoosiers have "mug shots” taken for their drivers' licenses. McMahan said the idea was in the "long range" experimental stage, but it could be that within a few years photographs of drivers would appear on all licenses, and possibly fingerprints. He said "an experiment” will be started next week in which a camera will be tested in connection with producing identification cards for various state employes. He said the state treasurer's office will distribute the ID cards and may require state employes to show them when their payroll checks are cashed. McMahan said it would take 187 cameras to cover each of the license branches around the state to put the plan into use In preparing drivers licenses. But he said he was unsure of public reaction, "I’m wondering whether the public would go for fingerprinting and mugging,” McMahan said. McMahan also announced a new type license plate will be issued in 1958—called "C-T owned”—for autos owned by cities, counties and townships. He said civil defense personnel also will receive regular plates in a "CD” series. McMahan said these changes will allow a reduction in the number of "BX” plates from 4,793 this year to 1,500 next year. These plates normally have been issued to public officials, law officers and newsmen. The 1958 plates will be the reverse of this year’s—gold letters on blue blackground. The United States is spending over five million dollars a year on research today, more than was spent in all the years from 1776 to 1933.

Oppose Any Policy Change On Mideast To Leave Relations As Os Present Status WASHINGTON (W - The United States is opposed at this time to any new anti-aggression guarantees to Israel or any formal U. S. membership in the Moslemdominated Baghdad Pact, officials reported today. American opposition to any new policy statements or moves on Israel or the Baghdad Pact does not, officials emphasized, mean any lessening of strong U. S. support. The decision rather is to leave relations where they are for the time being despite the Middle East crisis resulting from Soviet penetration of Syria and EgyptIsrael only last week pressed the United States for "crystal clear” assurances this country will oppose any aggression against Middle Eastern nations including Israel. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was reported to feel that existing American assurances to Israel and other Middle Eastern countires are adequate to meet the presen‘ situation in the troubled a. When Dulles discussed the matter with Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban he pointed out that American opposition to aggression is carefully outlined in the Eisenhower Dc itrine approved by Congress last March. Before conferring with Eban Dulles told' a news conference he did not believe there is any danger of an attack on Israel at the present time. He mentioned the United States is pledged to aid any country which is attacked and pointed out Israel is "quite substantially armed."

Indianapolis Tree Trimmer Is Killed INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Ray Garver, 50, Indianapolis, was shocked fatally Thursday when he came in contact with a high-tension wire as he trimmed trees here. Garver and a companion were trimming trees when tree limbs dropped across two wires, causing them to short circuit and fall burning to the ground. Garver tried to dislodge the 4.400-volt wire with a wet rope and was electrocuted. The partner, William Johnson, 70, Indianapolis, sustained slight injuries as he at- ' tempted to rescue Garver. —
U. S. Heads For Massive Retaliation Military Experts Give Viewpoint As Defense Cuts Made WASHINGTON (UP) — New defence cuts ordered by the Eisenhower administration mean the United States is going toward, not away from, massive retaliation, military experts said todaySecretary of State'John Foster Dulles said in an article in Foreign Affairs quarterly magazine Wednesday it may be possible in the future “to place less reliance upon deterrence of vast retaliatory power." This followed published reports that the administration and its military experts were veering away from reliance on massive air-atomic retaliation—once stated by Dulles as primary American policy—in favor of greater emphasis on weapons and methods of fighting smaller “brushfire” wars on the scene. Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson, however, announced new military cutbacks Thursday which, taken with other cuts previously ordered, can only mean this country is reemphasizing its primary reliance on its air-atomic reatliatory capacity. With President Eisenhower’s approval, he ordered another 100,000man cut in the armed forces—the second in two months—an an effort to keep within the 38-billion-dollar defense budget The new slash will bring the combined Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines down to 2,600,000, probably by next July 1. Still further cuts may be in prospect next yearAs with the previous 'Out, half the new reduction will fall on the Army which will, have to lop off another division, bringing it down to IS. The Army has stressed its need for more rather than fewer ground troops to fight possible • brush-fire” wars. Next, Wilson said the Air Force will be cut down "at least” to 123 wings from the present 133, instead of to the previous reduction target of 128. Another official said the new figure will be lower than 123. Wilson emphasized the cuts will come in the Tactical Air Command, which supports the Army in localized ground maneuvers He said there will be no cut in the bomber strength, which is being steadily expanded and made more powerful. Wilson said the Navy may have to cut its present fleet by about 3 per cent. This will mean laying up another 27-28 warships in addition to the 60 already slated for mothballs. While Wilson did not say so, observers thought it highly unlikely any aircraft carriers—which add to the air-atomic striking power structure — will be among ships laid up. Four-Year-Old Boy Is Killed By Auto NORTH MANCHESTER (UP) — Larry Howard, 4, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Howard, Claypool, was struck and killed by an auto in front of his home Thursday. Authorities said the accident occurred when the boy’s father and grandfather drove up to the house in a truck. The boy climbed in to greet them and then jumped out the other side onto the highway. Stanton Appointed Probation Officer INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Wayne Stanton, Indiana State Corrections Board staff member, today became Indiana’s first state probation director in several years. Board Chairman Paul Myers named Stanton to the $7,500 a year job after the State Budget Committee allocated funds for the post that was vacant during the’ administration of former Gov. George Craig. JUDGE _ (Continued from Page One) night the federal district court in Little Rock, has “absolutely no jurisdiction” in the integration dispute in Arkansas. He said under the doctrine of interposition even the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction in such a constitutional impasse. An official source said he understood the government’s plan is to call just enough witnesses and get just enough testimony for Davies to put Faubus under temporary injunction. This source said the government then plans to drop the whole thing, because once a temporary injunction brdaks the stalemate and gets integration sart ed, there will be no need of a permanent injunction. Newport: President Eisenhower said he was “deeply disappointed” over the failure of his meeting with Faubus in Newport last Saturday failed to solve the Little Rock controversy.

Teamsters Officials Study Union Report No Ready* Answer To Union Ultimatum MIAMI BEACH (UP)—The high command of the Teamsters Union had no ready answer today for an AFL-CIO committee's ultimatum, nor for a court suit seeking to halt the election of officers at the union's Sept 30 convention. Teamster officials, here for an executive board meeting, appeared to be little concerned about the suit filed in federal court at Washington Thursday by 13 "rank and file” union members from the New York City area. Hie suit charged them with attempting to stack convention delegates to elect Midwest Teamster boss James . Hoffa as general president. The 13-man board was devoting its full attention to this week’s report of the AFL-CIO Ethical Practices Committee which charged the Teamsters were dominated by i "corrupt influences.” The report hinted strongly that the 1,400,000 member truckers union would be . thrown out of the AFL-CIO if Hos- . fa is chosen president The Teamsters board discussed the report for some two hours Thursday last night without making any decisions. It planned to meet again today for further dis- . cuss ion. Dave Beck, outgoing president . who said he would not seek the job again if “they gave me $500,000 a year,” said only four of the 13-man executive boat'd had seen the AFL-CIO committee report be--1 fore, Thursday night He declined to predict what response, if any, the board might make. Beck said on his arrival here ; Thursday that the Teamsters were ’ prepared to “stand alone” if they had to. He said he would prefer that the , union remain in the AFL-CIO "un- ; less they try to tell us who we i will elect for our officials and try ' to interfere with the autonomy of ‘ our union.” Hoffa voiced a similar sentiment , earlier Thursday.

to no decision as to what schools will do. Schools also face loss of state aid for failure to comply with the law. Brown stated that the board expects to come to some decision on the matter of school hours next week. Gail Grablll, superintendent of the county schools, issued a similar statement today. He indicated that the schools will definitely conform with the law and turn the clocks back and that nothing will be done which would cause a loss of state funds. However, he indicated that there is a possibility that school hours might be changed if it can be done without incurring the penalty The county commissioners have also ordered central standard time to be shown on all clocks beginning at 2 a.m. Sept. 29.
