Republicans have begun the “blockbuster" speech tactics which they first developed in 1950. All candidates are given the same prepared speech, which they make in all parts of Indiana at the same time. The speech is a diatribe against Vance Hartke. Apparently the Republicans believe if they can smear the main Democratic candidate they will be able to win the election. Most people in this campaign are interested in the issues, however, and will not fall into the trap so easily. ——o o It's time for a little serious consideration of the integration problem in the south. Neither side js taking a realistic attitude. Three things are clear: the majority of us favor a program whereby every person of every race, creed, and color is equal in these United States; we realize, on the other hand, that at the present time, the past of slavery and inequality of opportunities has made the Southern Negro, in many cases, a base creature with low morals, ideals, and conduct; therefore, it is obvious that in the south, where in many communities the lower classes, white or Negro, outnumber the middle class nine to one, it would cer-

tainly damage the school system to permit unlimited, immediate full-scale integration. In the longrun, more harm would be dohe than good- It's time for extremists on both sides to realize that the problem in the south is quite complicated, and that total immediate integration there is no more realistic than the opposing view that even a fine man like Dr. Ralph Bunche is of low class because of his color. It is time to realize that each man must be judged on his own merits, not that of his race, religion, or background. Gradual integration, a few at a time, with increased attention to providing good teachers to those schools with large numbers of rural southern Negroes is far more important to begin. The present method of forced integration is a dangerous move. It has pushed the Southerners to the wall, and makes them feel like their entire way of life is threatened. We stand today at the same crossroads where we stood in 1850. A compromise is needed, and intelligent leaders, not hotheads, nor oppor tunists, are the answer. The compromise of 1850 was ruined by the Dred Scott decision. Let’s keep a realistic view, and prevent the hard feelings which could lead us to disaster.

a V .IB VANCE HARTKE, Democratic candidate for the U. S. Senate, is shown above with his wife and their family. Hartke will spend part of today in Adams county on the last pre-election stage of the fall campaign. # A dynamic speaker, he has canvassed the entire state in an effort to bring his story directly to the people of Indiana. A positive program.to restore confidence in the American way of life has been his biggest asset in the campaign.

Vance Hartke, popular Democratic candidate for the U. S, Senate, was expected to arrive in Decatur shortly after noon today for his last visit to Adams county before the November 4 election. Hartke, his wife and children, have staged a concerted whirlwind campaign over the state in an effort to meet as many people as possible to offset the bitter Republican press influence in the major Hoosier cities. Hartke arrived in the fourth district Thursday night at 10 j o'clock at Kendallville, and found good news here. An independent poll, conducted in Fort Wayne by the independent voters league, shows that he has 49% of the 1,019 votes cast, while Gov. Handley trails with only 30%. A total of 21% were undecided. W. Robert Fleming, Democratic candidate for Congress, also leads his opponent in the same poll. A radio station poll in Fort Wayne recently showed Hartke with a projected vote total of 60% in Allen county. Adams county Democrats will meet at noon today at the Youth and Community—Center to talk with their senate candidate, Hartke. The Evansville mayor is well known here, having visited with local people many times be-1 fore his nomination last spring. A forceful, dynamic speaker. Hartke has been in every county) in the state to tell his story. The heavy speaking campaign is necessary to offset the patronage political machine of the governor, first Hoosier governor to run for the U. S. Senate while in office

since Oliver P. Morton in 1867. Hartke has stated that he realized that events in the governor’s term, such as the doubling of the state tax and the economic depression in Fort Wayne, South Bend and other Indiana cities, have caused widespread dissatisfaction with the ruling clique of Republicans in Indiana. Scandals that have rocked the Republican state administration have added fuel to the fire. Some are even opposed ito Handlers election because of ' ' his mistreatment of opposing Republicans and because of his three marriages. ( But these are not the issues, nor are state problems the issues. ' Hartke continues. "The real point of this election is, do Hoosiers want a senator who will try to accomplish a positive program for all the people of the state, developing its resources to their utmost and providing full employ- , ment, or do they want a man who promises only to take government out of all fields, leaving the people at the mercy of economic jackles and lifeless- corporations? - - “Government,” Hartke explains, ■ “was instituted by people to protect themselves from abuses of j the powerful. It is good only i when it accomplishes this. When ' government ignores the people, •it loses its right to function. "The present Republican national administration has repeatedly erred. While keeping the so-called • peacetime tax rate at a wartime ’ high, it has surrendered the Middle itast to Russia, along with ]

Millions Os Bibles Distributed Yearly Increasing Demand Reported In World By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Not long ago, the American Bible Society received an urgent letter from one of its distribution agents in northern Japan. He reported he was being “grievously molested’’ by bears in his mountainous territory. He wanted a “good loud bell” to scare them off. The society shipped him a bell by return mail. “You have to be prepared for this sort of thing," said Dr. Robert T. Taylor, general secretary of the society, "if you are going to distribute Bibles on a global basis.” The American Bible Society was founded in 1816 to supply Bibles to families who werd moving westward with America’s frontier. The thoroughness with which it performed this mission was at least partly responsible for the fact that 19th Century America became a "Bible-reading nation.” Americans today are abundantly supplied with Bibles, whether they read them or not. So the society concentrates its efforts primarily on making the scriptures available in other lands. Distribute Millions of Bibles Last year it distributed more than 15.000,000 Bibles, Testaments and Gospels on every continent of the globe. This year it hopes to surpass that record. “There is an world demand for the Scriptures.” Taylor said in an interview. "In the undeveloped countries, 20,000.000 adults are learning to read each year. For many of them, a Gospel in their own language could be their first reader —- if supplies were adequate.” Taylor said Bible distribution is; one form of Christian evangelism that has not been affected by the rising nationalism of Asian and African countries. The Bible is a product of the Middle East, and it is still welcome in many countries where foreign missionaries find their work severely handicapped by antagonism toward the Western white man. “ft is easy to talk glibly about the Bible being a ‘universal book’," Taylor said. "But after a lifetime in this business I am still aw-ed by the way it seems to transcend all barriers of race, nationality and culture. “It can be translated into any language, and the people who read it will find a message they can understand —a message that speaks to their deepest needs. Has Been Widely Translated Through the efforts of the American Bible Society and companion groups in 22 other countries, the entire Bible has now been translated into 215 languages. The New Testament is available in an additional 270 languages, and individual Gospels in 642 others, a grand total of 1,127 languages. “This sounds like an impressive accomplishment," said Taylor, "until you remember that there are still more than 1,500 languages and dialects, spoken by more than 100,000.000 people, without any Bible at all. Publication of the Bible in a new language is not merely a matter of translation. In many instances, the society has had to design type faces for a language in which no printing has been done before. Occasionally, it is necessary to redirce a spoken dialect Yugoslavia; it has lost both Turkey and Greece, and allowed them to squabble between themselves; it has caused the defection of Japan and the Bandung powers to the neutralist block; all with Ihrger and larger appropriations. It has refused to recognize the economic misery of the people, and help the small businessman.”

to writing in order to produce a Bible in that tongue. As a matter of long-standing policy, the society tries to sell Bibles rather than give them away. “We have learned,” Taylor explained, “that people are much more likely to read a book that they have bought than one which was simply handed to them.” Doesn’t Cover Costs But the price tag which the society places on its Bibles is usually only a fraction of the printing costs. The selling price is always based on the amount that the buyer is able tb pay. The rule of thumb is to charge the equivalent of one day’s pay at the wage rates prevailing in the area. If a person wants a Bible and is unable to pay even a token; sum for it, the society gives him one free. . Its losses are covered by con-■ tributions from 55 U. S. Protestant j denominations which have ap- j pointed the society as their joint Bible distribution agency, and from about 500.000 individuals who buy the socle t y’s distinctive Christmas seals. Income from these sources has been running about $3,000,000 a year. Taylor s ambition is to double this budget — and double the society’s worldwide-distribution of Bibles — within the next five years. "There is a great need for haste,” he said “Doors which are open now may close.” o20.
