Wayne. There they boarded buses, and left for Bloomington with other youths from northeastern Indiana. “The bus stopped just outside Indianapolis at a restaurant where the group ate lunch, then oroceeded to Bloomington, where the boys registered about 1 p. m. at the men’s quad of Indiana University. 1 “On registering, each was given a badge with his political oarty, either Federalist or Nationalist, his name, and the city to which he was assigned. They were also given a meal number which the waitresses checked off when the boys filed in to eat. N “Next, each boy met with the two counsellors from his city. Baumgartner’s counsellors were Ray Anderson and Ronald Roach. The boys from Decatur were separated and assigned to quarters with others from different parts of the state. “The rooms, Baumgartner reported, were very nice. Each had two identical beds, closets and desks with a floor lamp between the beds. Baumgartner roomed with Pete Case of Spencerville. “A typical day at Boys State included the following: 6:30 a. m., reveille; 6:45, flag raising; 7, breakfast; B:15, inspection; 8:30, assembly; 10, school by counties; 2, special schools; 3 tJ athletics; 4:10, band; 5, guard drill; 5:05. cleanup; 5:20, flag lowering; 5:30, supper; 7, political activity; 8 p, m., general assembly; 9:15, free time; 10:15. call to quarters; 10:30, lights out. “Each city was subdivided into precincts, and there were two *ities in each county. There were eight counties in the state. “On (Tuesday each party held its primary election. In the primary, party members picked the candidates they wanted to represent their party in the general election. In the county primary Baumgartner was defeated for treasurer, but he was nomnated for the city council in the city primary. “Wednesday, the general elections were held. Baumgartner, a Federalist, was defeated for city council. Ronald Hoffman, also a Federalist, was elected to the city council of Armstrong city. —He-also-served -as-precinct committeeman and city policeman. He attended the special nolice school and qualified for a certificate. Baumgartner was appointed city health officer, and Thursday, and Friday the boys ran the offices to which they were elected. Baumgartner also attended law school, and passed a six-page test to qualify for attorney. ’ “Two boyn from Indiana Boys State will att-i.d Boys Nation. They are the governor, B. Coleman, and the Carl Graham award winner, Alan Nass. Both boys were members of the same city that Baumgartner represented.” All the boys stated .that they met some wonderful people and now have acquaintances all over the state.r All of them thanked the Legion, Lions, and Rotary clubs for sending them this year.

Butler, himself a Hoosier, charged in one of the convention speeches that the Eisenhower administration has been marked by “stupidity, corruption, inaction and lack of leadership.” Butler told the convention Indiana experienced a “spree of corruption and debauchery” under Republican governors the last 5’4 years. “Politically speaking,” he said, “the time and tide are with the Democrats. The political climate with respect to the stupidity, corruption, inaction and lack of leadership in the EisenhowerNixon administration is just as favorable within our own state as it is elsewhere.” ADAMS (Continued from page one) order vacating the fine. —Filed a petition charging criminal contempt of the court’s order, which eventually was dropped as oart of a “final, enforceable stipulation.” —Pursued the case and got a court order requiring East Boston to pay $3,000 for civil contempt and to file corrected reports. —Started a private investigation “looking toward the possibility of additional action against the company.” —Petitioned for a civil contempt charge against East Boston for failing to file its 1956 report.

Russia Begins Making Repairs To Embassy Offers No Apology For Damages Done To German Embassy By WALTER LOGAN United Press International Soviet Russia began repairs today on the West German embassy in Moscow but failed tcTapblogize" for the damage done by 1,500demonstrators who bombarded the building Monday with stones and ink bottles. West German Chancellor Konjad Adenauer was so annoyed by the attack—carried out in reprisal: for an anti-Soviet demonstration: in Bonn last week—that he requested 20 German industrialists to break off a tour of Russia and return home. The Bonn demonstration was one of a series of worldwide protests by free nations against the Soviet action in executing Hungarian freedom Premier Imre Nagy, and other leaders of the October. 1956, anti-Communist revolution. Since then there have been demonstrations in Moscow against the Danish and West German embassies. Observers aid the attack on the Bonn government’ embassy was even wilder than demonstrations against France and Britain during the 1956 Suez crisis. vS-Win observers of the Soviet scene expressed the opinion that such outbursts could have been carried out only with the active support of Russian authorities—if not organized by them. In the past an> sign of unhibited behavior by Soviet citizens has drawn immediate and stern crackdowns. The demonstrations continued for hours Monday despite the arrival of police. There were increasing indications the Soviet was being nettled by the worldwide indignation including condemnation by Premier Jawaharlal Nehru of India and leaders throughout the free world. The British Communist Party was reported hopelessly split because of the Nagy execution, and there were predictions the Communist parties would lose strength throughout the free world because of the incidents. Pravda, the official Communist Party organ, said -'‘Western aggressive circles” used the Nagy death to prevent summit talks, to increase East-West tension and “tcf' , 'pasS over to open military ventures as soon as this appears possible to them.” Two Hoosiers Drown In Michigan Lake CASSOPOLIS.

New Lutheran Pastor Is Installed Sunday Pastor Is Installed At St. Paul Lutheran The Rev, L. W. Schulenbtirg was formally installed as pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran church, Preble, in a special service Sunday night. The rite of installation was performed by the Rev. Harry Behning of Bethlehem Lutheran church, Ossian, and the serman was preached by the Rev. L, Fuchs of Tririity Lutheran church, near Fort Wayne. F. C. Schmiege, principal of St. Paul’s Lutheran school served as organist. The Rev. Schulenburg came to the Preble church from Redeemer Lutheran church, Miami, Fla,,, and succeeds the Rev. O. C. Busse. He is a native of Indiana, having been born in Friendship, January 22, 1902. He received his theological training at Concordia Seminary, Springfield, 111., graduating in 1929.

Willkie Backs Into Senatorial Contest l - . Willing To Accept G.O.P. Nomination INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Philip H. Willkie, son of the 1940 Republican presidential nominee, backed into the GOP contest for the nomination for U.S. senator today, three days before the party’s state convention. Willke, a Rushville attoney, did not make a formal announcement of candidacy and apparently does not intend to pay a $2,000 conven- , tion assessment fee in advance, as have Governor Handley and State Sen. Russell Bontrager. Instead, Willkie mailed a letter .to the convention delegates enclosing «a biographical sketch of himself and saying that “my purpose in writing this letter ... .is to let others know my record and my desire to serve Indiana in the Senate, should the political situation change. “In the remote event that a sufficient number of delegates to the ; Republican state convention dn June 27, 1958, should consider me qualified for the office of United j States Senator, and I should be i selected, I pledge myself to use every ounce of energy and all the resources available to me to wage a fighting campaign in behalf of the principles of the Republican party—those principles that are so needed to keep America strong.” Previously, Willkie, a former state lawmaker, had been aiming letters at the delegates to the effect that he would be a 1962 candidate for the U.S. Senate, seeking the post now held by Sen. Homer Capehart. The letter indicated that Willkie was taking a gamble on a longshot, possibly with a remembrance of Wendell Willkie’s upsetting performance in gaining the presidential nomination 18 years ago. Willkie was a member of the Indiana House of Representatives from 1949 to 1954 and has stood on the bink of several other political contests since then without plunging. GOP party officials said it is theoretically possible for a candidate to enter a convention race from the floor without having paid the convention fee by Thursday noon’s deadline—but it takes a two-thirds vote of delegates to do so.
