Ike Speaks In Oklahoma City This Eveninr Second Chins-up Speech Tonight On Television, Radio . WASHINGTON (UP)-President Eisenhower flew to Oklahoma City today to deliver the second of his series of “chins-up” speeches on U. S. military and scientific might. The address will be carried on radio and television tonight. The President was scheduled to arrive in Oklahoma City at 4 p.m. c s.t. and spend about four hours in the Skirvin Towers Hotel before going to the Municipal Auditorium for his speech, ’ * The address, to be made at 9:30 p.m. c.s.t., will be on “future security.” Eisenhower spent the morning in his White House office conferring with staff aides and working on his talk. In advance of tonight’s speech, Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Iowa) urged Eisenhower to deal with “rough facts” and speak with “more conviction-” He said the public should be told about the “inter-service rivalry over the production of missiles.” Eisenhower; keeping up the strenuous official pace he has followed since the Soviet Union set Sputniks zooming into space, won’t pause in Oklahoma City for a night’s rest but will board his plane about midnight for a sleeper jump back to Washington. Meets With NSC Thursday Thursday he will preside over the second National Security Council meeting of the week at the White House and attend in the afternoon a meeting of defense industry executives organized as a civilian reserve force. On Friday morning the President will meet with his cabinet and then, unless some new crisis interferes, fly later in the day to Augusta, Ga., for a long week end of golf. While the President tonight is expected to follow his main theme of “chins up” for America, his particular points of emphasis were expected to be continuance of a strong mutual security program of foreign aid to friendly nations plus the pressing need for substantially improved scientific education in this country. Concerned With Education Eisenhower met in late October witir a large group of top-flight scientists during the early American jitters over the Soviet Sputnik. He reported later he was "astonished” to find their chief concern was not the relative scientific position of this country now but “where are we going to be in ten years?” He said federal aid should be provided if necessary to meet "The absolute necessity” of increasing the scientific output of American schools. , Sen. John W. Bricker (R-Ohio) echoed today the President’s concern about future scientists. In an address at Central State College in Wilberforce, Ohio, Bricker said the quantify and quality of scientists , (Continued on Six) INDIANA WEATHER Cloudy with occasional rain or drizzle tonight and Thursday.

Farmers Prices And Income Unchanged Prediction Is Made Bq Ag Department WASHINGTON (UP) — The Agriculture Department predicted today that farm income and farm prices will be "much the same” next year as this year The department also said farm output in 1958 could “equal or exceed" 1957 production if weather and yields continue favorable and fewer acres are put in the soil bank. A bumper 1958 crop would add to existing large farm surpluses. ■ These predictions came on top Jof the monthly crop report issued ' Tuesday. Equals Previous Record The next-to-lAst production estimate for the year showed: i A 1957 corn crop of 3,333,000,000 [bushels, third largest in history, 1 together with a record corn yield Jof 46.1 bushels an acre; a soy•bean crop of 491,000,000 bushels t per cent higher than last year , and 81 per cent above average; sorghum grains production of 527,000,000 bushels, more than twice last year’s crop and’ more than three times the average; and increases over the previous October forecast for rice, fall potatoes, tobacco, sugar beets, sweet potatoes and apples. Estimates were lower than) last month for output of peanuts', dry beans and some fruits. The department sa|d the present index of total crop production for 1957 is 106 per cent of the 1947-49 base period. This Is the same as a month ago and equals the record reached in 1948 and 1956. The department’s view of the 1958 farm outlook was presented in two publications—“ The Demand and Price Situation” and “The Agricultural Outlook Digest.” Supplies Heavy, Demand High Department economists gave these forecasts: —Gross Income to farmers may be up a little due to slightly larger sales at about the same average prices. —Gain in gross income, however, is likely to be just about cancelled by higher costs, leaving farm income generally unchanged. —Supplies of farm products will continue heavy—Demand will continue at the high 1957 level. —Charges for marketing food will rise a little more, thereby further reducing the farmer's share of the consumer’s food dollar. . —Exports will fall below the 1956-57 peak but will stay high. —Prices paid by farmers will edge higher with'lncreases likely to /come mainly from higher interest, taxes and wages. —Demand and supply prospects indicate no big change in the level of farm prices next year. —Feed grain crop carryover next October is likely to be 57 million tons, largest of record and 10 million tons more than this year’s carryover. -.—A bigger hog crop is in prospect with prices “appreciably” lower next fall. Deny Traffic Signal At Second, Jefferson Mayor Robert Cole stated today that he has received a letter from William H. Bilby, engineer of traffic in the state highway department, indicating that the department has denied the request for the installation of a traffic signal on U. S. highway 33 at the intersection of Second and Jefferson streets. In his letter Bilby stated that the denial was based on the lack of warrants for the signal at that point. However, it was pointed out, the city could install a signal at its own expense.

Gov. Handley Unveils Huge Highway Plan 120 Million Dollar Highway Spending Program Outlined INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Governor Handley today unveiled a 120 million dollar highway spending program for construction and repair of 770 miles of highways and , 399 bridges in 1958. Handley outlined the vast spending program in a move to help justify a 2-cent increase in the state gasoline tax. He said the program would reach 89 of Indii ana’s 92 counties by the end of next year. ,■ ■ ;; Plans include 61.3 miles of ntew highways that eventually will fit into the federal network of interstate super-highways. The limited access highways that will criss-cross the state in the future include expressways from Louisville to Indianapolis, Indianapolis to Chicago, and across the center of Hoosierland from east to west. New Numbers Coming The interstate projects, financed 90 per cent by the federal government, and 10 per cent by Indiana’s 6-cent a gallon gasoline tax, includes stretches of U.S. 52 northwest and U.S 421 southeast of Indianapolis. It also includes parts of U.S. 31 from Louisville to Indianapolis and U.S. 40 bypassing Richmond. When the national network is completed, new numbers will be assigned to those old interstate routes. Interstate projects also include 89 bridges or other structures along the dual-lane super roads. '‘Hoosierland will have more ofthese interstate routes than any other state,” Handley said in a prepared statement. When Handley took office in January he complained the highway department was in a “mess” with depleted funds and bogged down in a hodge-podge of poor planning. He installed a new highway commission and the chairman of the old one since has been convicted of conspiracy to embezzle highway money “These highways and bridges,” Handley's statement said, “are being built honestly and capably. Contracts are let by competitive bidding, regardless of political considerations.” Cover 505 Miles In addition to the interstate projects, plans called for beginning construction in 1958 on 15.9 miles of urban routes in sewen counties, 97.2 miles of primary highways in 24 counties, and 91.1 miles of secondary routes in 30 counties. Eight other bridges were scheduled for construction, and the resurfacing program was expected to cover 505 miles of highway in 59 counties. “So, by the end of 1958, this administration will have resurfaced or constructed state highways in 89 of our 92 counties,” Handley said.

U.S. Admiral Warns Russia Building Navy Says Sole Russian Purpose To Destroy Western Alliance PARIS (UP)—A top American admiral warned the North Atlantic Treaty Organization today that the Russians are building their navy for the sole purpose of destroying the Western Alliance. Adm. Jerauld Wright, supreme Allied commander of NATO forces in the Atlantic, expressed his views In a speech before a gathering of 180 members of parliament from the 15 NATO countries. The single alm of the Soviet navy, Wright said, is this: "The isolation of North America from Europe, the defeat of NATO at sea and therefore the destruction of our alliance." Second Largest Navy The American admiral delivered his blunt warning to the NATO legislators, whose meeting here is simply that of an advisory group, just a day after they had been reassured by an American Air Force general about the ready rei taliatbry striking power of Allied nuclear air power. ‘“The Russians are building a navy which has risen from seventh place in 1945 to second place in number today, and first place in new construction,” Wright said. “It is a navy larger than all other navies of the world combined except the U- S. Navy. It contains the largest submarine fleet the world has aver known in peacetime.” Wright did not cite any figures, but NATO sources said the Russians now have 500 submarines, a number that is increasing at the rate of 75 to 100 a year. “A clear inference to me is that the Soviets in building this fleet do not visualize a short war,” Wright said. SAC Bombers Ready He said that as long as any war goes on, NATO must maintain control of the Atlantic. “One sure way to bring an ultimate defeat would be to lose our sea communications and therefore our ability to support each other,” he said. U.S. Air Force Gen. Thomas Power, supreme commander of NATO’s Strategic Air Command, <■ Fiure SUi Boychoir To Present Concert On Monday Varied Program To Be Presented Here A program ranging from classical to Negro spirituals and modern vocal works, will be presented by the Columbus Boychoir in their Decatur concert to be held Monday at 8 p.m. at the Decatur Youth and Community Center.

Garcia Piles Up Big Lead In Philippines Running Mate For President Defeated MANILA (UP)—A flood of pro- , government votes from the outlying provinces gave President Carlos P. Garcia an apparently (Unbeatable lead today in his bid for re-election. But Garcia, the Nationalista Party candidate, 'faded to carry » his running mate. The vice presi- - dency went to the opposition Libt eral Party candidate, Diosdado r Macapagal. ’• The ballot counting, complicated by destruction from typhoon Kit, e was incomplete but most political si observers regarded toe prelimi--3 nary returns as conclusive.

In the vice presidential race, 1 Macapagal had 514,016 votes to 1 286,744 for Nationalista Jose Laur--5 el Jr., son of the man who was '• puppet president of the Philippines 1 during the Japanese occupation in r World War 11. - In contests for eight vacant sen--1 atorial seats, the Nationalists were leading for fiv£, toe Liberals for 4»jtwo and the Progressives for one. > 19 Die In Typhoon 1 Ibe typhoon, which swept 1 through heavily populated Central Luzon during the balloting Tues--1 day, left 19 persons dead. Nine ' more were killed in violence con- - nected with the election for a total ‘ of 28. 1 Officials called it the “smoothest and safest” election in the 11- ' year history of Philippine inde- ‘ pendence. 1 Garcia, who rose to the presi- : dency last March when a plane crash killed President Ramon t Magsaysay, took a beating in Ma- ; nila but rolled up an ever-widen-ing lead when the “farm vote” started coming in.

Urgent Parley On Launching U.S. Satellite r Army Space-Missile Experts Summoned To Urgent Parley . WASHINGTON (W — Two top experts have been summoned urgent conferences Thursday on the launching of an American-made satellite. At the same time, the United States is pounding home that at key locations all over the world it has nuclear weapons ready on instant notice to deliver a massive counterblow should Russia launch a surprise attack with ballistic missiles. The two developments put the nation farther out in seizing the propaganda offensive from. Russia as President Eisenhower prepared tonight to deliver a second “chins up” science and security speech at Oklahoma City, Okla. Called to map plans with the Pentagon and the National Academy of Science on the satellite effort were German-born rocket scientist Dr. Wernher Von Braun and Maj. Gen. John B. Medaris, commander of the Army’s Huntsville, Ala., ballistic missile eenReason Not Give. There was no indication whethed their presence, would mean a speed-up in the placing of a ful-ly-instrumented satellite up with the Soviet Sputniks. That is scheduled under the Navy’s nonmilitary "Vanguard" project for next spring. Launchings of sixinch test satellites are set for next month. Vanguard officials, who had to design their own propulsion equipment, said the United States could have beaten Russia in the satellite race if they had an Army Jupiter-C rocket from the start ot the International Geophysical Year project in 1955. Medaris and Von Braun were expected to work out with officials here the size, shape and weight of the satellite they will hurl into space with their powerful Jupiter-C, a test rocket which • has been used in atmosphere reentry experiments. U. 8. Reassuring World Since last week, when the President acknowledged the Soviets were ahead in some areas of missile development, the United States has been trying to offset the threat by reassuring the world of its power to devastate Russie if the Kremlin launches an attack. In Paris Tuesday U. S. Air Force Gen. Thomas S. Power indicated America has planes in the air around the clock armed with hydrogen bombs. Although he did not specify what their bomb load was, Power said “they are not carrying bows and arrows.” His statement followed the record flight of a new jet KC-135 tanker plane from Westover Air Force Base, Mass., to Buenos Aires, Argentina, non-stop and not refueled. Complementing the KC-135’s flight was the non-stop flight of three B-66 jet bombers 8,100 miles. The three bombers were refueled on their dash from California to the Philippines Tuesday in 17 hours.
