to try to keep the post of Indiana national committeeman? Many ambitious party leaders would like to know the answer to that question and some of them hope they will obtain information before or during the meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association at French Lick Aug. 22-23. Nearly two years ago, Butler promised to abdicate the position of national committeeman. But since that time he has been involved in so many Hoosier political situations that he has hung onto the job for dear life. At one time, Griffith Reese, Ist District chairman, was confident he would inherit ’tjie post. But he apparently has gone down the drain becausa of the decline in Lake County's party status. 1 Campbell Most Likely The most likely heir apparent seems to be Alex Campbell, Fort Wayne, former U.S. district attorney in Indiana and also former assistant attorney general in Washington. Campbell, who likewise has been a Democratic nominee for U.S. senator, acquired party stature by becoming an early booster of Evansville Mayor Vance Hartke, the senatorial nominee. Whether Hartke will recognize this debt and eucert pressure to obtain the position of national committeeman for Campbell remains to be seen. Hartke owes nothing to Butler, who championed State Sen. Marshall Kizer of Plymouth for the senatorial bid. . Campbell, because of an extensive law practice, is reported to 1 have no ambitions to run for office in the future but may like to become national committeeman. He rejected an attempt to elect him state chairman just before the state convention. Speculate On Governor The party chieftains at French Lick are sure to mull over the 1960 gubernatorial contest in which State Sen. Matthew E. Welsh of Vincennes is the front runner at present. Welsh and his chief backer, former national chairman Frank McKinney of Indianapolis, were belated supporters of Hartke. Both Kizer and another candidate for senator, Marshall Hanley of Muncie, charged that Welsh and McKinney previously had pledged support to them. In the 1956 gubernatorial nomination struggle, Hartke’s Evansville delegation had stuck with Welsh to the last. $o now the count may be even. Other 196 Q . gubernatorial-possi-bilities are Roger D. Branigin, Lafayette attorney and former □resident of the Indiana State Bar Association; Terre Haute Mayor Ralph Tucker, the 1956 nominee, whose star seems to be falling; S. Hugh Dillin, Petersburg attorney and former floor leader of the Indiana House, and perhaps Kizer. If you bo.e something to sell oi rooms torrent, try a Democrat ! Want Ad — They bring results.

' ■ ■ ‘ I Absolves Policemen ■ In Daughter's Death Boy Friend Files Charges Os Murder > HARRISBURG, 111. (UPI) — A ■ grieving father absolved two po- ■ licemen who fatally shot his elop- ’ ing daughter, but her teen-aged boy friend filed complaints charging the officers with murder. The youth, Del Whitaker, 17, Millington, Mich., signed the complaints in Justice Court Tuesday night shortly after a coroner’s jury returned an inconclusive verdict in the death of his sweetheart, Margo Hallwood, 15, also of Millington. The girl was fatally wounded early Monday by a ricocheting bullet as she and Whitaker sought to elude the police in a high-speed ; chase. Whitaker said he thought they were "a couple of teens looking for trouble. The coroner’s jury ruled that Miss Hallwood was killed by a piece of lead from a pistol shot fired by police officers of Harrisburg. State’s Atty. Robert V. Wilson said he planned to take the case before a Circuit Court grand jury when it' convenes in September. Charged in the murder complaint were substitute policeman Winston Gidcumb, 33, and rookie officer Glen Schwartz, 26. Justice of the Peace Verner Joyner set bond at $5,000 each. The officers also have been suspended from the police department. Whitaker and Miss Hallwood were en route to Pigot, Ark., to be married when Gidcumb and Schwartz gave chase In an unmarked private car. The police squad car was being repaired. When Whitaker refused to stop, the officers opened fireI The victim's-father, Fred Hall--1 wood« said he harbored no resentment toward the officers. “I know what they did was in the line of duty and I have no ill feeling toward these men,” Hallwood said. In 1618, two years before the 'Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, the French explorer Etienne Brule reached Michigan.

Soya Negotiating With Glidden Co. May Purchase Part Os Glidden Business Central Soya Co. is negotiating with Glidden Co., of Cleveland, 0., for purchase of a portion of the latter's business, John L. Andreas, assistant secretary of Central Soya, is reported to have told the Wall Street Journal. According to the story, Andreas declined to disclose what Glidden division is involved in the discussions. “Negotiations are merely in the talking stage,” he is reported to have said. “And it might unsettle any final agreement to disclose that information at the present time. ’ “A decision,’’ he added, “may be reached in 10 days or two weeks.” Central Soya processes soybeans and makes feed and other products from the meal in addition to the [ oil. Sales in the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 1957, total $196.5 miUion. Dwight Joyce, Glidden chairman and president, refused to deny or confirm the proposed sale. “According to mdustry sources, the transaction would involve Glidden's processing and grain merchandising business. Glidden’s principal products include paints and allied products, food products, chemicals and naval stores. Through its chemurgy division the company operates soybean oil extraction plants and merchandises grain out of terminal elevators.” For the year ended Aug. 31, 1957 net sales were $225.5 million, compared with $226.2 million in the preceding year. An estimated 16% of total sales was contributed by the chemurgy division. Central Soya took a $2 a share jump on the over-the-counter market this morning, with $43 a share bid yesterday, and $45 a share bid today. PLANS . (Continued from Page one) Backs Pearson Plan Hammarskjold said he believed it was his “duty” to act in the situation “without the guidance of the General Assembly or the Security Council” should it appear to him “necessary to fill any vacuum.” However he said he would “not spell out at this ’moment” what steps he intended to take. He then began consulting some of the United Nation’s elder statesmen including former assembly presidents Sir Leslie Munro of New Zealand, Lester B. Pearson of Canada and Carlos P. Romulo of the Philippines. It was undterstood Hammarskjold had given his support to a plan originaly suggested by Pearson. This would have the council meet to consider the Middle East question as an entity rather than in its separate segments as it now is before the council. FOUR (Continued from page one) Missouri floods since July 19 to five. One person still was missing. The Missouri Disaster Committee has asked the Agriculture Department to declare 45 flood damaged counties as disaster ; areas. The group estimated Missouri farmers need $4,350,000 in emergency credit.

Spotlight In Congress On Committees Little Action Seen In Either House Os Notional Congress WASHINGTON (UPD The congressional spotlight focused today on committees considering everything from orange juice to the Middle East crisis. Action on the floors of both the House and Senate was expected to be on the quiet side. The House met to consider routine business while the Senate business schedule was uncertain. The foreign affairs committees of both houses were to get their daily briefing on the Middle East situation from Undersecretary of State Christian Herter. The situation reports started Tuesday. A House agriculture subcommittee met to discuss price spreads in the frozen* food industry with special reference to recent developments in frozen orange juice concentrates. Veterans organizations appeared before the House Veterans Afafirs Committee to testify on the bed situation in VA hospitals. The committee was seeking to determine whether shortages were due to overcrowding by veterans with non-service connected illnesses. Victory For Ike A special investigating subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee called in more witnesses regarding R ayla in e Worsted, Inc., a New Hampshire ■ textile company, and an Army contract case in which Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams was involved. The subcommittee wants to know if Adams brought influence to bear on the Armed Forces Board of Contract Appeals in the case. A Senate small business subcommittee began hearings on the procurement policies of the Defense Department, military services and various civilian agencies of the federal government. The Senate was drawing its breath after giving President Eisenhower a victory for his trade bill. The Senate passed the bill Tuesday night, 72 to 16, after beating down attempts to restrict the President’s power to cut tariffs on foreign imports. It nowis for House and Senate conferees to reach a compromise on the two versions of the reciprocal trade bill. Other congressional news: Defense: A Senate appropriations subcommittee removed a major roadblock from the path of the new defense money bill by agreeing the Marines and Army should be 10 per cent bigger than President Eisenhower proposed. The subcommittee followed the lead of the House by recommending $226,118,000 to keep Army strength at 900,000 men, the Marines at 200,000, the N a t i o n a 1 Guard at 400,000 and the Army Reserves at 300,000. Railroads: House-Senate conferees agreed on a compromise railroad aid bill which would give the Interstate Commerce Commission authority for the first time to order discontinuance of interstate rail service. The bill as approved also would authorize the ICC to guarantee 500 million dollars in loans to railroads to finance capital improvement, equipment and maintenance. Minerals: A House interior subcommittee approved a new program of government subsidies for producers of lead and zinc and other minerals which could cost as much as 460 milion dollars over the next five years. The program is similar to, but more liberal than, one recommended by the administration. The subcommittee approved the more liberal provisions of a Senate-passed bill and added a few of its own. Committee aides said the maximum over-all cost could run about 35 million dollars higher than the administration’s proposed program. Communists: The House Judiciary Committee approved a bill to nullify a part of a 1957 Supreme Court decision limiting the effect &L the Smith Anti-subversive Act on prosecutions of Communist leaders. The bill would stipulate that the word “organize” in the act would cover the formation of new units and the recruitment of new members into a subversive organization. The court held the word meant merely activities in connection with the creation of a new organization, not subsequent acts to carry out the organization’s objectives.
