Dozens Os Schools Closed In Indiana Hope For Better School Attendance By UNITED PRESS Flu-swept Indiana pinned its hopes today on another weekend holiday from classes to bring about an improvement in the school attendance situation. Dozens of schools closed this week because respiratory ailments chewed deeply into attendance of pupils and teachers. Most of them cancelled classes for the rest of the week and expected to try to resume Monday, if conditions permit. Many high school football games scheduled for tonight were postponed or cancelled. The flu wave swept into the ranks of husky athletes as well as scholars, and even sidelined college and university players, including Indiana and Purdue squad members. Between 10,000 and 12.000 pupils were absent in Indianapolis public schools Friday, but officials in the state capital clung to a theory from health authorities that a wave of illness could not be expected to abate any faster if schools closed. Our Lady of Providence High School suspended classes Thursday for the rest of the week at New Albany as the outbreak plunged deep into the south portion for the first time. St. Joan of Arc parochial school at Kokomo also closed for two days, as weft as Akron school in Miami County, Tippecanoe school at Plymouth, Hartford and Bobo in Adams county, and others.

Racial Segregation Problem To Church Southern Ministers Face Tough Issue By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP) — “The churches of America are being weighed and tested by their response to racial segregation. If they remain in the rear in the struggle for justice, they may ... qpase tot be the living church of Christ through which God speaks and acts.” These are the words of The Rev. Dr. Clifford J. Earle of Philadelphia, executive secretary of the Social Action Department of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. He must believe them strongly, for he said them at a place and time where they were not easy to sayin the pulpit of a Presbyterian church at Little Rock, Ark., early this month. Many ministers, in the south as well as the north, share Dr. Earle’s conviction that the segregation controversy has brought American churches to a place where they have often arraigned other elements of society — the judgment bar of God. The agony of conscience which thousands of clergymen are experiencing bn this subject is clearly evident in church publications . . .in the formal resolutions of denominational conferences ... and above all, in the private conversations that take place whenever a group of ministers meets. Brands Segregation A Sin Whether segregation is morally defensible is not the primary topic of these soul -searching sessions. The vast majoritty of northern ministers, and a substantial number of southern ministers, are personally in agreement with the declaration of the National Council of Churches and major denominational bodies branding segregation a sin. The big question, especially for southern ministers, is whether the church should be prophetic or prudent in upholding the Christian ideal of brotherhood. An earnest young pastor, who serves the largest Methodist church in one city of the deep South, expressed the quandary in which many southern church leaders find themselves. “I would like very much to stand up in that pulpit next Sunday and say what I really believe about raceorelations,” he told this reporter. “It would ease my own conscience. But what would it do to my congregation? One or two of them might agree with me — they do already. The rest would turn against me, and possibly against the church as well. I would lose any chance I may bays of leading them slowly into a more Christian attitude toward Negroes." This is the prudent' approach, which most southern ministers apparently have decided to take. It is based on the belief that the church caryiot attack segregation head-on in the present climate of southern feeling without alienating itself completely from the people it seeks' to shepherd. Church Must Speak Out Behind it is the faith, or the hqpe, that southern Christians will gradually come to accept the implications of their religion in race relations—if they are not driven to a hasty emotional choice between giving up their ties with the church or giving up their deeplyingrained feelings about segregation. Advocates of the prophetic approach believe that the church must speak out on segregation today in the same bold, uncompromising voice that the prophets of ancient Israel used in denouncing the social evils of their day. To count the cost of such a stand, they say, 4? unworthy of a body whose founder followed his own convictions to a cross. This viewpoint is more common —and easier to expound—in northern pulpits. But it has also been eloquently expressed by a southern minister. “Churches must recognize the urgent necessity of taking a forthright stand on this crucial issue.” he said. “Christians must decide whether they will obey the eternal demands of the almighty God, or whether they will capitulate to the transitory demands of the defendants of segregation.'

The author of that statement, Dr. Martin Luther King, knows how much it will cost any southern clergyman who takes his advice.

Admits Accidental Slaying Os Father TERRE HAUTE (IP) — A nine-year-old boy admitted he accidentally shot and killed his father at a rifle range Thursday. Jerry Brinkman told police his father, John F., 43, walked toward a target. Jerry said he aimed at the target, but he thought the gun’s safety was on. Police said Jerry was frightened after the shooting and they questioned the boy for some time before he admitted the shooting. BILL (Continued from Page One) ond day in a row was Loren S. Winkler. Attorneys for the four "defendants questioned Winkler at great length late Thursday after Prosecutor John Tinder extracted from him evidence Tindter considered damaging to the accused. Winkler, assistant right-of-way director, identified records showing the two Madison Ave. back lots involved in * the conspiracy charge were the first back yards in a two-block strip to be approved by indicted Virgil (Red) Smith, state chairman" at the time. Tinder said this indicated the othgr back lots purchased by the state were designed to “cover up” the deal which netted a $22,800 profit. Winkler later testified with a long series of defense exhibits that the state highway department bought a string of adjacent lots—including the back halves. Defense attorney Charles Symmes said Winkler’s testimony showed all the back lot sales—including the two "crucial'' ones—were proper in regard to need, price and authorization. Smith and the others—Nile Teverbaugh, Harry Doggett, and Robert Peak—are accused of hatching a conspiracy plot to embezzle $25,800 through a series of sales involving mystery man “Dean Burton.” The defense also introduced a report prepared by Winkler on the operation of the Highway Department’s right-of-way division from 1952 to 1957—the period in which the alleged conspiracy occurred. It cited an "extremely high” percentage of error in the Democratic administration prior to 1952. Before that time, the report said, 90 per cent of the right-of-way grants had to be returned for correction. It said there were “no appraisals by qualified real estate personnel to work by.”

Kohler Co. Rejects Reuther's Proposal Company To Appeal Ruling By Examiner KOHLER, Wis. (UP) - Herbert Kohler, president of the Kohler Company, has turned down a proposal by United Auto Worker President Walter Reuther to settle the nation’s longest strike. Reuther offered to call off the strike early this week if Kohler officials would agree to abide by the recommendations of the National Labor Relations Board. George Downing, NLRB trial examiner, ruled last weekend that the company was guilty of unfair - labor practices in the dispute which began April 5, 1954. Downing called for the reinstatement of fired strikers and attempts to negotiate a settlement. Kohler replied to Reuther Thursday that the plumbingware firm would not meet with UAW representatives “under the conditions” Reuther stipulated. “Your suggestion of a meeting and for termination of the strike,” • Kohler said, "is conditioned on the company’s waiving its right to appeal from the report and recommendations from the trial examiner.” The company has indicated it. will appeal the decision within the 20-day period prescribed. In Detroit, the United Auto Workers said the strike - bound Kohler company's refusal to meet with the union "is another demonstration of this company’s ifrfresponsibility.” UAW President Walter P. Reuther said: “The UAW Is greatly disappointed. "This further rejection of the union’s offer to terminate the strike is another demonstration of this company’s irresponsibility. The Kohler strike resulted from the company’s refusal to negotiate in good faith, its refusal to mediate or arbitrate and this latest refusal to meet illustrates again this company's unwillingness to meet its legal obligations at the bargaining table.” " Os.
