Asserts Charges On Sherman Adams False Charges By HouSe Probers Denounced WASHINGTON <UPI> — The White House said today that Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams will prove that charges against him by House investigators are “completely false.” White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty also told reporters that Adams “has the complete confidence of the President.” The charges against Adams stemmed from a House subcommittee investigating alleged influence on federal regulatory agencies. Investigators said millionaire industrist Bernard Goldfine obtained special favors because of his friendship with the presidential assistant. Hagerty said Adams, who has been fishing in New Hampshire, is now on his way back to Washington. Later, Hagerty said. Adams will prove “completely false . . . insinuations made yesterday that Mr. Goldfine received any preferred treatment from federal agencies because of his friendship” with Adams. The subcommittee Tuesday produced photostatic copies of more than $2,000 worth of hotel bills it said were paid by Goldfine for Adams and members of Adams' family at the Sheraton-Plaza Hotel | in Boston. Hagerty refused at a news conference to comment on the hotel bills. He had volunteered his remarks i on Adams “in anticipation of quesi tions.” The House investigators said they had more evidence of the alleged tieup between Adams and Goldfine. A staff member testified that’ John Fox, publisher of the defunct Boston Post, charged that Goldfine got “favored treatment” by the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities & Exchange Commission because of friendship with Adams. Chief subcommittee counsel Rob-1 ert W. Lishman told United Press j International he has “something! even jucier” in his Adams-Goldfine I file.

Submits Proposal To Put Indiana In* Eastern Time Zone | FORT WAYNE, Ind..(UPl> — Fort Wayne City Councilman Jack K. Dunifon Tuesday night submitted to the council a proposal to put Indiana on Eastern Standard Time by federal edict. Dunifon’s resolution asks the | U. S. government to move the i west boundary of the eastern time 1 zone to coincide with the western I border of Indiana. It said such a move would elim- < inate present confusion over time in Hoosierland. The Fort Wayne city government and schools remain on legal state time, but the city maintains EST year around. Indiana law calls for seven months of CST and five of CDT. All Aboard Saved In Airline Crash Skill Os Pilot Is Credited In Crash RIO DE JANEIRO (UPD — Air experts said today that only the pilot’s skill prevented Tuesday’s Argentine airline crash on the prison island of Ilha Grande from being disaster. The pilot, Rogelio E. Merelle, set his burning DC6 down in waist-deep water and skidded in onto the beach, making it possible for his passengers to land without even getting their feet wet. Only one' of the 16 pasengers and six crewmen was hurt — an Argentine whose seat tore loose when the plane hit the water. There were no Americans on the plane, which was returning from Europe. Maj. Tulio Ribeiro,’ a veteran i Brazilian airline pilot who flew over the scene of the crash, called United Press International to express his admiration for Merelle. “In 25 years of flying. I’ve never seen anything so extraordinary,” Ribeiro said. “I want to I t&l the world that the Argentine . pilot’s skill saved the lives of his ! passengers.” ! Trade in a good town — Decatur

Probe Disappearance ’ Os Chicago Bride , t 1 , 19-Year-Old Girl Gone Since May 31 NORMAN, Okla. (UPD-A gray ’ pickup truck which stopped near a 19-year-old Chicago bride shortly before she was last seen was the chief lead being checked out today by investigators probing her disappearance. Carol Ann Batterman was last seen on May 31 only 14 days after she and Dennis E. Batterman were married at Westchester, 111. Cleveland County Atty. Hez J. Bussey interviewed a service station operator Tuesday night who Bussey said claimed to have seen the light truck stop in front of a motel where Mrs. Batterman was waiting for a bus to take her into Norman to look for an apartment. Loyal Vanderpool, 39, Oklaohma City, told Bussey the truck was driven by a man wearing a large western hat. Vanderpool said he did not see Mrs. Batterman enter the vehicle, but he noticed she was gone shortly after it pulled away. Bussey said Vanderpool was unable to get the license number of the truck, but guessed it to be a 1953 model Ford. Bussey rejected another clue which had turned up. A key to the couple’s motel room arrived in the mail last week, but investigation proved it had been returned by a former tenant. Batterman, a sailor stationed at the naval air technical training I tenter here, has told ,officers he last saw his bride shortly before midnight May 30 when he left the Crown Motel to return to the base. The couple arrived in Oklahoma City May 26 and checked into the motet with plans to find an apartment. Meanwhile, the youthful sailor pleaded for the safe return of his wife during a brief exclusive in-, terview Tuesday night with United Press International. This was the first time Batterman has agreed to see a reporter. The blond-haired sailor, speaking in a low. soft voice, was visibly shaken by the disappearance of his pretty bride, whom some investigators, including a Navy agent, believe may be a kidnap victim. Batterman played down reports that his wife had numerous suitors in the Chicago area and said she didn’t date many other boys before they were married.

Wabash Girl Dies In Auto Accident WABASH, Ind. (UPD — Judy I Bruce, 15, Wabash, died today in Wabash County Hospital from injuries sustained Tuesday night when an automobile driven by a 16-year-old boy went out of control on wet pavement and hit a bridge and tree. The car was driven by Steven , Geirke, Wabash. It hit a bridge , over Helm Creek a mile west of j Wabash and swerved into a tree on a county road. Describe Type Os Operation On Heart Decatur Man Will Undergo Operation Describing the type of heart operation which a Decatur man, Aaron Yoder, will undergo Tuesday, June 17, in Indianapolis, a local doctor commented recently that great strides have been made in the last five years on such surgery. “In 1951, this wasn’t even attempted,” the doctor pointed out, after stating that many such operations have been successful, and that the percentage of successes has been increasing. During the operation, the blood circulation will be detoured away from the heart through a heartlung machine. This device can use only fresh blood, and for that purpose, 13 area residents will accompany Yoder to Robert Long Hospital, where they will donate blood to be used during the operation. This particular operation, states the doctor, deals with the main arety of the heart, the aorta. Its valve inside the heart does not shut corectly because of a stricture, or a narrowing in the valve. Formerly in such operations, an artifical valve was inserted; however, doctors in charge of this surgery will remove the valve completely to help the flow of blood inside the heart. Dr. Harris B. Shumacker, Jr., M.D., professor of surgery at the Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis, will work with a team of four to six doctors for this operation, which may last from four to seven hours. (The last one similar to this, it is reported, lasted six and one-half hours.) In similar heart surgery, in which the heart-lung machine was used and the open-heart method employed, four Texas doctors recently performed an operation successfully. In this case, the patient’s heart was damaged by a blisterlike defect, which was removed while the blood was shunted into a by pass with the aid of the machine.

Winter Wheat Crop i Booming To Record > Record Production Forecast For 1958 WASHINGTON (UPD—The 1958 ’ winter wheat crop is booming to- i ward a record production—barr- ] ing a severe infestation of grasshoppers in the southern Great , Plains and adverse weather. The Agriculture Department estimated Tuesday the winter wheat crop will total 1,069,000,000 bushels. The crop, would surpass slightly the 1952 record which took nearly nine million more acres to grow. The 1958 estimate was 51 per cent more than last year and 26 per cent above average. The spring wheat estimate, based largely on prospective planted acreage reported in March, was nearly 202 million bushels, 16 per cent below last year and 24 per cent below average. The combined estimates would make a total wheat crop of 1,271.000,000 bushels. This would be 34 per cent more than the 1957 crop and 14 per cent above average. The total wheat crop would be the fourth largest of record. This would mean that the wheat carryover, or surplus would rise to an all-time high of 1,168,000,000 bushels by July 1, 1959. The department's general crop report as of June 1 said “crop prospects are favorable over most of the nation after a month which aided spring planting and crop progress.” It said the generally good prospects point to “probable high total crop production this year.” Reports Fender Skirt Stolen From Auto John P. York reported to the police the theft of a fender skirt from his automobile Tuesday. The theft occurred betweejuthe hours of 12 midnight and 11 a m. The other skirt on the vehicle was also attempted to be removed, but the culprits wete unsuccessful in doing so. The skirt was valued at $9. SAYER (Continued from Paga one) which s7&32>Was profit.

4-H Junior Leaders Hold Meeting Here The Adams county 4-H junior leader organization met Monday at the Lincoln school gymnasium in Decatur. The meeting was called to order by the president. Leo Busick, followed by the pledges led by Karyl Kipfer and Mike Thieme. Donna Lehman led the devotions and group singing was led by Joy Everhart. Jeanie Smith read the secretary's report and requested that the junior leaders turn in the dues of one dollar to her as soon as possible. Eldon Holsapple, the 4-H agent, also gave a short talk. Susie Harris of Delaware county gave her national winning demonstration on how to make a cherry pie. The meeting then continued with the special entertainment which consisted of stunt night. Each township had to perform an act or pay the consequences. The refreshments were served by Washington township, with John Hebble in charge. The next meeting will be held July 14 as a swimming party at Pine Lake. DE GAULLE (Continued on page flvM De Gaulle conferred with his cabinet this morning on measures to deal with the rebellious Algerian right wing military and civlan junta. Leon Delbecque. vice president of the Algiers Public Safety Committee, arrived in Paris today with Pierre Lagaillarde, the paratroop res e r v e lieutenant who helped get the original May 13 mutiny going. It was believed one or both would meet soon with the new premier. ’ The Algerian rightists appeared determined to set up their revolutionary “Committees of Public Safety” on the French mainland to wipe out the last traces of the Fourth .French Republic. The Communists appeared just as determined to halt what they , called a drive toward “fascism” and “dictatorship.” The party’s , Central Committee announced it , would set up rival "committees [ of republican defense.” The Communists asked their [ own committees to insure that in October, during De Gaulle’s con- ’ stitutional reform referendum, “millions of Frenchmen respond ‘no to dictatorship and fascism'.” The Communist outburst was similar to the attacks launched against De Gaulle during the days before his investiture. But it still was far short of the feared nationwide strikes and demonstrations threatened in the past. ' Hie Algerian rebel challenge came in a near-ultimaturi) threatI ening to carry the rightist revolt to the French mainland unless De ' Gaulle kicks the "politicians” out of his government and disbands ' all political parties. The committee, made up of settlers and army officers and headed by paratrooper Gen. Jacques Massu, also rejected De Gaulle's suggestion that Algeria-wide municipal elections be held a month from now. Todays cabinet meeting was expected to set a definite date for the proposed Algerian voting —which could mean an early showdown with the Algerian right-
