s Calls On Handley To Renounce Chairman Bontrager Assails Chairman Matthews ! INDIANAPOLIS <UP> — State I Sen D. Russell Bontrager of ElkI hart, a candidate for U.S senator, I today called on Governor Handley | to renounce the Republican state I chairman on grounds Chairman I Robert W. Matthews is “attemptI ing to control the election of I county officials. ’ I Bontrager said Handley should I either “publicly renounce’' MatI thews for “the dictatorial conduct | or personally accept full responsiI bility for Mr. Matthews' action.’’ I His statement was prompted by I word that a Ripley County highI way inspector was ordered April 2 * to take a “leave of absence” bei cause he refused a request to J withdraw as a candidate for | county auditor in the May 6 pri- | mary. i The inspector was identified as | Clarence W. Westerfeld. Bates- | ville. Westerfeld said he defied the | order to take a leave and inI formed his highway department I superiors that they/ would “have I to give me some kind of written | notice.’’ Westerfeld said he was ap- | proached March 27 by highway I district engineer Elmo Wills and I told he should withdraw from the I auditor race because “Matthews I doesn't know how you stand po--0 litically.” Later, when he did not « withdraw, Westerfeld said he was I told that “Matthews said you were" | ( Ao take a leave of absence." B “Apparently,” said Bontrager in • a prepared statement, “the chairI man of the Republican State Central Committee is no longer conitent to try to dictate the nomination of his machine’s handpicked > candidate for the U.S Senate I “Reaching .an all-time low in ■lndiana Republican politics, he is now attempting to control the | 'election of county officials. I i “I * have attempted to refrain I from involving Governor Handley lAn my discussions of the purges I which have heretofore been cong [ducted in Brown, Pulaski and | Owen Counties. In. view of. the I ! revelations of Mr. Matthew 5 ’ in- ** j terference with the selection of l i nominees for county office in Rips Iley County, I must now call upon lithe governor to either reI ■ nounce his state chairman for the | • dictatorial conduct or personally I accept fun responsibility for Mr. a Matthews' action." j . — ] Teen-age Soldier Is kSlain In Argument I Youthful Soldier Is Slain At Gary I GARY tip — Police today began I an all-out search for the slayer of I a teen-age Army private shot to I .death in an alleged bawdy house.

Compares Slump To Previous Recessions Comparison Is Made By Federal Reserve CHICAGO W - The Federal Reserve Bank said today the current downturn in business activity now approximates two previous reces-sions—l94B-49 and 1953-54. The report, in a monthly review called "Business Conditions/’ com, pared the dips on the basis of industrial production, employment and retail sales. The bank said industrial productionedged downward a little more rapidly in the .six months from August to February, 1957-58. than it did during the six months following the 1948 and 1953 peaks. The-most recent decline was 10 per cent in industrial production compared to 8.7 in 1948 and 8.8 in 1953. The decline in non-agricultural employment, the -bank said, was about the sSme during the latest period as in 1948 and more than in 1953. The figures show a 3.2 per cent decline in 1957; 3.3 in 1948: and 2.1 in 1953 Retail sales, though off almost 5 per cent from-the summer high, did not dip as far as in 1953. The latest recission showed a 4.8 per cent decline, while the 1953 figure was 5.8. The 1948 period showed no decline in retail sales. The bank said the trend of wholesale prices of finished goods and of stock market prices have been “notably different." than in Twnvinii l ! __ ; , lilt; IWu piCtlvUS 3tv’’UJ/n. It said finished goods at wholesale have gone up 1.3 per cent in the first six months of the current recession; this was contrasted to almost no change in 1953 and a 3.9 per cent dip in 1948. Stock prices, on the other hand, i dropped almost 10 per cent. This compared with only “moderate" changes in the comparable months of the previous declines in business activity.
