“To Hoosier voters we commend the men and women who have been chosen as Democratic standard-bearers in the campaign now before us, confident that they have been wisely nominated and that they are fully aware of the challenges and obligations that lie before them. “We call attention to the fact that every election sees thousands of first-voters ready to exercise the rights and duties of citizenship, and urge that full stress be laid upon the historical knowledge that the Democratic party is the party of Opportunity for Youth, for Womanhood, and for Mature Age. The 73 editors of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association, representing a small (20%) but vocal part of the Indiana press, met at French Lick Friday and Saturday. Old-Timers and younger members joined together in remembering the old campaigns and exchanged ideas for strengthening Democracy in Indiana. The following resolutions were adopted: “Possessed of a keen sense of smell, editors have a natural aversion to odorous activities, whether they be evidences of bribery and skullduggery in highway afafirs, conventions packed with delegates who are on the public payroll, or handsome gifts accepted in alleged periods of ‘poor judgement’. As Democrats, we fervently resent such pollution -of the atmosphere during recent and current ‘holier-than-thou Republican administrations’.” o o “Mindful of the obligation which rests upon the American editors as disseminators of public information in a nation blessed with a free press, members of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association, assembled in the organization's 78th annual summer session, now renew their devotion to the basic principles of the Democratic party, and their determination to continue their ship of the cause of good government.

Indiana university’s athletic facilities were constructed 30 to 40 years ago, when the enrollment at our state university was only 20% of the present enrollment. This is r now at 13,000, and will grow to an estimated 20,000 by 1970. To . provide for this growth, an issue of $6,500,000 in bonds will be made. A new baseball diamond and 18 hole golf course have already been completed. Next on the schedule is a 47,000 seat football stadium, then a field house, an addition to the present gym, a basketball arena with a seating capacity of 17,000, which is badly needed for the Fighting Hoosiers, and an outdoor swimming pool. All of Indiana's fine educational institutions are growing, and this is a good sign. An educated nation is the best line of defense against any ism. o o— What is the food stamp plan pushed by the Democrats, and opposed by the Republicans? In Indiana we have 160,805 drawing various types of assistance. These draw tax money to make purchases of food. At the same time we have a tremendous surplus of staple food products. While some surplus food is available, it goes to only 36,363 of those in Indiana receiving assistance. Democrats feel that it would be better to distribute food stamps to these unfortunate people so that they may draw, on the surplus food supplies of the United States. At present they get money or its equivalent, and buy from local merchants. But even many merchants would prefer the lower taxes which would be possible with a food stamp plan. This plan would both lower taxes and the surplus. It would be far less costly and more valuable than even the much-used land bank plan.

1 ; New Greensburg • Tree Discovered i Courthouse Has More Greenery GREENSBURG. Ind (UPD -A new tree almost four feet tall has been found growing on the Decatur County Courthouse tower. Kenneth Rains, a steeplejack, found the tree while clearing the tower roof of weeds and grass. Vegetation has abounded on the tower since 1870. The aspen Rains found is the 12th in a series that has made the courthouse a unique attraction for nearly a century. A, H. Winders, Redkey, official I caretaker of the tower trees, said | the new tree is so low on the ' tower it might damage the roofj if left there." He said it may have to be removed but not before next spring. Winders examined the main j tree on the tower and found it sufferinb from leaf spot disease and possibily anthracnise. But j after a conference with County! ; Agent Earl Brewer, he said the ) aliments probably would not hurti the tree much and it will be; sprayed next spring.

Gambling Probe Reveals Huge Football Bets Bets Totalled As Much As SIOO,OOO In A Single Day By FRED MOHN United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—District Attorney Don A. Tabbert said today he had information that one person placed bets ‘‘exceeding $100,000” in one day while an international gambling syndicate operated at Terre Haute during the 1957 football season. Tabber did not identify the bettor. He said thp money apparently was placed on more than one team. He did not recall, he said, whether the bettor won or lost. The information was gathered outside the grand jury investigation, Tabbert said. Tabbert made the statement as he announced that the federal porbe into the syndicate’s operao tions ended for all practical purposes shortly after an indictment I was returned against eight men I Monday. The men, expected to o | surrender this afternoon, were charged with evading the 10 per cent federal-excise tax on wagers. The district attorney told newsr men he expects the indicted men • will be tried in U.S. District Court 1 at Terre Haute beginning late in 1 November. He estimated the trial will last 10 weeks. Tabbert said the government - will subpena “substantially the ' same” witnesses for the trial who - appeared before the grand jury, 1 plus “additional corroborative ' witnesses.” This would mean that perhaps ’ 177 witnesses called before the ’ grand jurors, including Zeppo " Marx of movie fame and many ! millionaires from Texas, Oklahoma and other states, would 1 make a return trip to Indiana ’ soon. ■ If convictions are obtained. Tabl bert said, the government will file civil suits to recover $326,297 in ■ excise taxes which the indict- • ments claim were evaded on income of more than three million dollars. — The grand jury set lx>nd for the men, one of them a former sheriff at Indianapolis, at SIO,OOO each. The jury - returned a single indictment charging each man with five counts. The biggest count accuses them of evading taxes on more than three million dollars in bets. Another count charges the defendants with failure to have a SSO gambling tax stamp. Those indicted included former [Marion County < Indianapolis) . Sheriff Charles L. (Buckl Sum- ’ ner: Leo Shaffer and Jules Hor- . wick. Chicago: Phillip Share, Mint neapolis and Las Vegas. Nev.; . Erwin Gordon, Las Vegas, and , Joseph . Jacobson. Indianapolis. • They were among eight persons arrested by U.S. Treasury agents in a raid, which broke up the syn- ’ dicate last Nov. 29. A sealed portion of the indictment cited two other men whose names were not Immediately-disclosed; because the indictment had not been served on them. However, observers speculated they were James Tamer, of Detroit and Miami, and Edgar M. Wyatt, a Terre Haute tavern operator. who were the other two men arrested in connection with the raid. The indictments specifically charged the men with evading a 10 per cent federal excise tax on gambling receipts of $326,315 in September, 1957; $1,305,260 in October, and $1,631,576 in November. The grand jury probe, now in its third week, is expected to end Wednesday. The jury has heard more than 160 witnesses so far, many of them businessmen who told of placing hundred-dollar bets on football games by telephone with the syndicate. U.S. Dist. Atty. Don A. Tabbert said about 35 more witnesses are expected to be called before the inquiry ends. Berne Missionary Builds Church Next Spring Construction on the new First Missionary church, Berne, will begin next springy according to newly approved building plans. It is expected eight to 12 months will be necessary for the construction of the new $200,000 church, which will be located on the west side of U. S. 27 in the south part of Berne, where the church owns five acres. Facing east, the structure will be 134 feet long, and 104 feet wide. The main auditorium, together with the balcony and choir loft, will seat 800 people. ' — America’s; first free public library was_ the Dublin, N. H„ Juvenile Free Library, established in 1822.
