12 Persons Killed In Indiana Traffic Weekend Toll Lower Than In September United Preu International A traffic death toll of 12 .was recorded in Indiana during the first weekend of October, nearly matching the heavy count of some weekends during bloody September. Actually, 13 were killed on streets and highways. But Indiana State Police deleted the death of 11-year-old Raymond Maxwell. Kouts, whose bike struck a parked car near his home on the grounds that no motor vehicle was in operation at the time. The Rev. Homer Welch, 67, Indianapolis, died in a capital city hospital this morning from injuries sustained Sunday when he was struck by a car while leaving a church near Martinsville. After chalking up death tolls of 15 or more on four September weekends, the situation eased a little but still remained in double figures. Governor Handley, urging a crackdown on traffic law enforcement last week after 119 September fatalities set a new one-month record for 1958, warned this month is “bloody October” from past experience. Mrs. Etta Evans, 84, Argos, died in a hospital a short time after a car driven by Carl C. Blue, 22, Rockville? hit a car driven by her at a South Bend intersection*' Sftnfiay. Police said Blue went through a red light. They indicated he would be charged. Five persons were in-

Grant Federal Aid To Build Farm Pond Place Land Under Soil Bank Reserve Farmers who want to build a farm pond can do so and receive federal assistance by putting land in the 1959 conservation reserve of the soil bank, Victor Bleeke, chairman of the Adams county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee, asserts. Under the program, a substantial part of the cost of building dams or excavating ponds for fish is paid by the U. S. department of agriculture through the ASC committee. In addition, farmers also receive annual rental payments on land while it is in the soil bank. A farmer who builds a farm pond for fish has the choice of a five or 10-year conservation reserve contract. The chairman points put that additional eligible land in the drainage area from the pond also could be put in approved cover under the conservation reserve to help prevent silting of the pond. Ponds constructed under the conservation reserve program can be used for swimming, fishing or other recreational purposes during the period of the contract. Later, water from the pond may be used for other purposes, the chairman explains. In addition to fish ponds, water may be impounded on Conservation Reserve land to benefit other wildlife. This practice includes the development of shallow water areas to improve habitat for waterfowl, fur anirnais and other wildlife. Signup for the conservation reI serve ends October 10. Interested I farmers are urged to visit the county ASC office at 130*6 N. 2nd St. in Decatur to learn details of the program. G.O.P. Hurting In Campaign Treasury Dissatisfaction With Party Record Shown By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON <UPI) — The grass roots word is that the Republicans are hurting most in their campaign treasury. President; Eisenhower will be hearing the 1 word today. M A publication of the “United Republican Fund of Illinois" asks this question: "Why should money be so difficult to raise?” “One reason, often cited by those who have been our best contributors in the past,” it continues, “is dissatisfaction with the Republican record, a feeling that Republicans have not taken a strong enough stand on vital issues, that in certain important respects Republicans don’t seem to be much different from Democrats.” The President may also hear something about that today in the top level political strategy huddle at the White House. The Illinois Republican fund raisers contend, however, that the reasons often cited by former contributors who balk now are in error. Call Democrats Spenders The Illinois Republicans, like Vice President Richard M. Nixon on last week's campaign swing and like Eisenhower, are making a hard sell on their issue of the Republican spen di n g record against what the Democrats wanted to spend. The Republican contention is that the Democrats, if given the chance, would spend the nation into higher taxes and inflationary bankruptcy. “One fact stands outr’- said the Illinois fund raisers. “In the last session of Congress the Democrat party exceeded even its own unchallenged record as a party of big spending. The non duplicating spending proposals introduced by Democrats since last Jan. 1 added up to 206 billion dollars, or three times the entire federal budget—sl,2oo in added tax burden for every man, woman and child in the United States.” Another argument to persuade balky contributors to shower down

is addressed to those who share the fears of Chairman Jdeade Alcorn of the Republican National Committee who, last week, said: "If the next Congress is dominated by the left wingers on northern and western Democratic tickets, we can be sure that they will spend the next two years endangering this country by pressing their well-financed drive for • Walter P.) Reuther socialism and Americans for Democratic action appeasement in our foreign policy.” List the Differences The Illinois fund raisers remarked that for 10 years past the AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education Committee (COPE) has scored individual congressmen on, 58 major votes of which 16 directly involved labor legislation. ‘ “The most striking comparison.” said the Illinois report, "is be-j tween Republicans who have been ; displaced in recent elections by Democrats, usually as a result pi strong union leader support for the Democrat candidates. In the 1954 and 1956. elections, 21 Republican members of Congress were unseated by Democrats. "These 21 Republicans had an average COPE score of 9.8 per cent. The Democrats who replaced them scored 89.9 per cent 'in favor of union-supported Legislation)." The Illinois fund raiser claim those figures prove that there is a difference between Republicans and Democrats, despite what people say. Another difference, of course, is that Republican issues and candidates have failed for 30 years to put the GOP firmly in office.

Atom Sub Surfaces After Sixty Days Submersion Record Is Set By Seawolf ABOARE SRV SKYLARK, at Sea, (via radiophone) (UPl)—The atomic submarine USS Seawolf came up from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean today after being submerged for exactly 60 days. The submarine rescue vessel Skylark, of New London, Conn., home base of the nuclear undersea fleet flagship, stood by as the Seawolf came into view in a mighty upheaval of foaming sea. As soon as she leveled off, the deck hatches opened and Cmdr. Richard B. Lanning of Amherst, Va., its skipper, took his place on the bridge. A blinker signal on the Skylark messaged a coded welcome to the 3,260 ton sub, its 11 ofsicers and approximately 89 creamen who got their first breath of outer air since leaving New London Aug. 7. Lanning set a course for home, where families and friends. Navy and civil dignitaries waited at state pier to gve them a rousing greetng and to whisk them off to a 90-car parade ana a reception afterwards at Mohegan Hotel.

Norfolk, Va.: The last of three petitions by the NAACP to force reopening of Virginia classrooms closed by state “massive resistance’’ laws go before a federal judge today. The first charge went off at 4:21 a.m. E.S.T. It was quickly followed by the second at 4:24 a.m. and the third at 4:27 a.m. The three charges, believed to have been dynamite, were strategically placed in the 30-year-old, T-shaped building. The first blast went off in the corridor leading off the west wing. Bearden said it was possible two charges went off there at the same time. The second charge was placed in the boys’ washroom at the base of the T. The final explosion was in the east wing and destroyed three adjoining classrooms. Walls between the classrooms were torn down and battered desks and chairs mingled with shattered window panes and bricks. The three explosions knocked out windows all over the building and damaged 20 of the 29 classrooms, although some were still usable. The administration office was not damaged.
