Whirlwind Tour Os Indiana By Hartke Political Tempo ' Steps Up In State United Press International Governor Handley, Mayor Vance Hartke and a flock of other Indiana political candidates and party orators shoved off today on the next to last week of campaigning for the Nov. 4 election. Handley, seeking a seat in the U.S. Senate, had a date at Southport tonight. Hartke, his Democratic rival, scheduled talks three hours apart at Rockport, Lebanon and Frankfort on the even of what his campaign headquarters called a “whirlwind tour” of all 11 congressional districts at the rate of one district and up to eight speeches per day. Meanwhile, the volume of television and radio commercials in behalf of the candidates and their parties picked up considerably over the weekend and a new wave of bumper stickers and grass roots campaigning on the local level shot the vote drive into high gear. Hartke appeared at an Indianapolis shopping tenter Sunday afternoon and charged that Handley has “aided the forces of hate in this campaign” by using the writings of a convicted traitor and a man convicted of contempt of Congress to further his political cause. "These desperate' moves were taken along with a stepped-up campaign of insinuations and lies about me because the Republicans could not bear to face defeat,” Hartke said. Handley told the Indiana Young Republicans at a fall rally Saturday night that signs of “a strong and growing Republican trend” were apparent to him in a six-day “grassroots” campaign through nine Northern Indiana counties last week. “The Democrats have fired all their campaign ammunition and are rapidly running out of alibis and excuses for the dismal record of my opponent’s administration in the city of Evansville,” Handley said. Moving out of his own 2nd District, where he seeks re-election,

Mygranl Labor Camp Is Hit By Tornado One Workman Killed By Florida Tornado United Press International Cooler air overspread Florida Monday in the wake of tornado that killed one person and injured at least 20 others. Rains eased up in the Southwest, alleviating the threat of further severe flooding along the Rio Grande River. The Florida twister Sunday slammed into a camp for migrant workers in the south Florida vegetable center ' f Pahokee, shattering about 50 homes and killing John Gray Jr., 70, a Negro farm laborer. The storm gathered over nearby Lake Okeechobee and also ripped into a small airport, demolishing eight airplanes, and blew out winin a Pratt-Whitney aircraft engine manufacturing plant before disappearing. Texas officials predicted the Rio Grande, which forced the evacuation of about 14,0b0 persons in a week of record flooding, would begin receding Monday. The flooding occurred below the huge United States-Mexican Falcon Dam which had been constructed to harness the river. Floodways, draining off the floodwaters, along with clearing skies and receding tributaries helped ease the flooding. A fresh invasion of cold air swept the Northwest Monday, reaching south through central California, Nevada. Utah and northwestern Colorado. Strong northerly winds powered the cool air mass? Light showers occurred from Oregon into Montana and Wyoming with some snow reported in the Rockies where West Yellowstone, Mont., received a two-inch blanket of white. Temperatures climbed in the nation's central section, with the greatest warming occurring from Kansas to the Great’ Lakes. Temperatures in the East ranged from near 3C tegrees in New England" to tr€9s in Florida. Two Thefts Reported To Police Department Two thefts were reported to the city police department during the weekend. One was recovered shortly afterward, the second is still being investigated. Ralph Smith. Jr., reported that thieves stole a bowling bag, ball and shoes from his garage Sunday afternoon. They were found late near the residence.

FALL (r• t1 nued trom page one) liberal Democratic Senate candidates on grounds they are not getting it from party headquarters. An official spokesman for the Senate Campaign Committee denied it had funneled party funds to Southerners and conservative Democrats and withheld them from liberals. —Butler scored a weekend proposal by Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks that a sales tax be imposed at the manufacturers’ level. Butler said the Democratic Party “will not take the tax load off of business and shift it to the shoulders of the consumers.”

Ike Flies To California On Campaign Tour Seeks To Heal Rift Between Knowland And Gov. Knight DENVER (UPD — President Eisenhower flies to California today to generate new campaign steam within his party and a public display of unity between the state’s two top Republican candidates whose open schism could affect the national fortunes of. the GOP in 1960. But news from the Far East that the Chinese Communists had called off their cease-fire in the Formosa Strait apparently will force major revisions in his speeches. Eisenhower had been ■ n" ted to make a strong point of the cease-fire. It was nearly 1 a.m. m.s.t when first press dispatches of the new shooting arrived here and the President was asleep, but he was expected to be given complete briefings on the situation when he arose. | First item of business for the touring Chief Executive after his arrival in Los Angeles from Deni ver was a public meeting with I Sen. William F. Knowland, the GOP candidate for governor, and Gov. Goodwin J. Knight, running for Knowland's vacated Senate seat. Knight and Knowland have been at odds for months over the senator's position on the right-to-work proposal also on the ballot for California voters Nov. 4. (Knowland is for it, Knight I against. Little the President could de | would change the basic dis- , ferences between the two men, but he might be able to achieve . some emblance of “one-for-all, all -for - one” public unity by bringing the two men together with him in public in Los Angeles and again in San Francisco Tuesday. Makes Speech Tonight Eisenhower’s first major political speech of his current 5,300mile campaign swing was scheduled for 8:30 p.m. p.s.t. tonight from the Shrine Auditorium where . the President's remarks will be | carried by radio and television over 11 Western states. The President and his wife spent a restful week end in her home town here, visiting with old friends and her ailing 80-year-old mother, Mrs. Elivera Doud, and de voting some comparatively brief moments to encouragement lof the Colorado Republican ticket. 1 Some of the state GOP forces (were openly disappointed that the 'President was not more vocal in their behalf, but he felt he had done his share by posing with them for photographs and conferring on their races. In truth, Eisenhower’s most i overt political move in Denver I was in behalf of a neighbor of Mrs. Doud, young Jack Archibold, who lives down Lafayette, Street from the Doud home. Ike Endorses Archibold The President knew Archibold when he was five years old. Eisenhower discovered Sunday that the young man was a Republican candidate for the state assembly. He invited him to a conference at Mrs. Doud’s, then sent his press secretary James C. Hagerty, down to the temporary White House press room with campaign literature for the youthful candidate and a statement that he hoped the “fine young man” wohld be elected. No other Colorado candidate could claim the same personal attention. POPE (Continued from page one) on the Pope’s last moments created one of the greatest controversies in recent years for Italy and the Vatican. It already was clear that Gal-eazzi-Lisi would not serve as official doctor to the secret conclave of the College of Cardinals meeting next Saturday to elect a new pope. Galeazzi - Lisi was under fire from the Italian press which attacked him with an appaent disregard of the possibility of libel. The newspapers called him a “quack” a “man wit ho u t scruples” and said he had “betrayed them all — the Pope, medicine, the doctors' moral code and the public.” A spokesman for the Medical Association said disciplinary action could range from a reprimand' to explusion from the medical ranks. Expulsion would prevent Galeazzi-Lisi from further practice of medicine. The doctor said the action of the Medical Association reflected “professional jealousy by other doctors.” “I am accustomed to insidious accusations,” he said. "I maintained silence throughout the Pope’s lifetime. But my profession has now ended and with it the need for professional silence. I told the story of his last few days as a free citizen and free doctor and received no payment for it.”

Teamster Boss Hits At Big Business Hoffa In Surprise Trip To Meeting INDIANAPOLIS (UPD —Teamster President James Hoffa made a quick and surprise trip here to speak at a local Teamsters meeting and “explain” the recent congressional probe of the union. Hoffa arrived here Sunday from Detroit by chartered plane, stopping off en route to Philadelphia. Only Gene San. Soucie, president of Indiana Local 135, knew h i s boss would attend. The meeting at the Indiana state fairgrounds was attended by about 500 of the local's 8,000 members. San Soucie blamed the small turnout on his inability to advertise Hoffa's appearance on short notice. Hoffa charged that “big business” was behind the probe of his union by the Senate Rackets Committee headed by Sen. John McClellan (D-Ark.) _ He also said he has #>t given up his goal of a nationwide transportation union alignment which could tie up all industry if a strike were called. “Big business is behind the current investigation of the Teamsters Union,” Hoffa said. "They have been harassing the Teamsters, checking everything. And out of all their investigations they have failed to turn up anything

They have found no money not entirely accounted for.” Hoffa also accused the press of presenting “false statements about the Teamsters.” “The press has had a field day at the Teamsters expense,” Hoffa said. “But the Teamsters have always accepted the challenge of the press.” Attend Purdue Ag Roundup Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Cletus Gillman of Root township were the delegates from the Adams county Purdue agricultural alumni chapter to the first annual Purdue ag fall roundup held at the Purdue campus Saturday Features of the day-long program included a special show, “Atomic engery in agricutlure,” presented for the men by members of the ag school faculty.

CIVIL RIGHTS (Continued from Page one) what’s going to happen in 1960. “What we need Is unity, not dividers. Wlfat we need are peacemakers, not agitators.” For and Against From other highly-placed Democratic sources came the suggestion that the time is near at hand when Butler yfiiould be replaced by a national chairman capable of healing the Democrats’ civil rights split rather than inflaming it. Some influential Democratic quarters, notably the party’s congressional leadership, have made no secret of the fact that they hold Buler in something considerably less than high esteem. However Butler’s strong civil rights stand will find supporters also within the Democratic Party. Some powerful Northern Democrats feel their party must take an unequivocal pro-civil rights stand if it is to prevent further loss of Negro votes and capture the presidency in 1960.
