Ike Winds Up Cross Country Campaign Tour Climaxes Political Tour With Speech At Chicago Last Night CHICAGO (UPD — President Eisenhower wound up his crosscountry campaign swing today and headed back for Washington for new ammunition against the Democrats in the battle for Congress. The President, due back in Washington aboard the Columbine 111 this morning, was confident his 5,000-mile trip produced results that would help Republican congressional candidates at the polls on Nov. 4. Mrs. Eisenhower, suffering from a painful migraine headache, returned to Washington by tXain during the night. She and the President were to be hosts at a White House luncheon today for Queen Frederika of Greece. The Chief Executive climaxed his political tour Wednesday night with a nationally televised and broadcast speech in which he credited administration policies with putting the nation on the threshold of unparalleled ityPredicts Income Increase He predicted personal income would rise to new all-time records without price increases if Americans reject the “counterfeit logic” of Democratic “radicals.” During the recent recession, Eisenhower charged, the Democrats would have tossed private enterprise into a “federal wheelchair" of hysterical government spending. Instead, he said, the steady policies of the administration prevailed and now the nation's economy is on its way up from coast to coast. Before the President started his campaign swing last week, he had spoken repeatedly of apathy and defeatism within his own par-' ty and was concerned by the sluggish flow of campaign contributions. He rolled up his sleeves and started stabbing at the Democrats in the first real public political battling he has undertaken since his own re-election in 1956 Finds Great Enthusiasm As a result, he told Wednesday night's audience of 4.700 GOP workers gathered at » $lO-a-plate dinner that he was finding great enthusiasm within the party for the November battle with the Democrats. e did not go as far as to predict that this enthusiasm would produce a- Republican victory next month but he said hard work within the GOP could assure the United States of “round, efficient, progressive, trustworthy government.” Eisenhower's next scheduled political speech is Oct. 27 at Charleston, W. Va. He will speak the same night in Pittsburgh, covering the east by radio and television. He goes to New York on Oct. 28. ostensibly to speak at the National Football Foundation that night, but also to operate politically in the important New York state campaign.

New Bomb Scare At Evansville Schools Believe Pranksters High School Pupils EVANSVILLE. Ind. ‘ (UPD— Classes were halted at two city, high schools Wednesday because of phone calls saying bombs had been placed in the buildings. The bomb scares at Bosse and Lincoln High Schools followed a similar incident at Central High School several days ago, and others involving city schools in the past few months. Two calls were made Wednesday to the City Hall switchboard. The operator who answered the calls said the voices sounded like young boys. Students in both schools were ordered outdoors and bided their time on athletic fields nearby while police and firemen ransacked the buildings just to be sure no explosives were hidden. They found nothing and concluded ; the calls were- made - bypranksters. City and school officials held a strategy session later in the day to map a stepped-up effort to catch those responsible for the calls. • Authorities believed the pranksters are high school students. They planned to use recording devices to capture the voices of the callers. All Evansville schools were in vacation today for the remainder of the week because of the Indiana State Teachers Association convention. Classes will be resumed Monday. A businessman offered a $250 reward for information leading to conviction of the callers.

Truck Is Damaged By Vandals Early Today Vandalism occurring during the late hours of the night was reported early this morning to the city police department by Clyde Butler. Sometime between the hours of 2 and 6:30 today, someone broke a Windshield, door glass, and spot light on a truck parked at Butler’s garage. Butler reported the incident to the city police at 6:45 a.m. and stated that the person or persons involved in the vandalism caused approximately SIOO damage to a truck owned by the Decatur Casting company. The truck was parked to the rear of the garage. Two Indictments At Evansville Quashed Charges Against Policemen Pending EVANSVILLE, Ind, <UPD— A Vanderburgh County grand jury indictment accusing the Evansville city clerk and the city park superintendent with conspiring to solicit a bribe was thrown out of court today. Special Judge Milford Miller threw out the indictment against clerk* Clarence McCoy and superintendent Francis Harms on grounds neither was in an official position to carry out any bribe threats last May 1 when the alleged incident occurred. Supporters of Democratic Mayor Vance Hartke, now campaigning for a seat in the U.S. Senate, had cried “politics” when a grand jury turned in several' indictments which Hartke’s associates charges were inspired by efforts to embarrass him. Two weeks ago, a similar indictment accusing city water works secretary Richard Jarboe with a bribe solicitation was thrown out of court by Circuit Judge Ollie Reeves on the same grounds cited by Miller— McCoy and Harms were charged with conspiring to solicit a SIOO bribe from James Stagg by threatenging to increase his firm’s property tax assessment if McCoy . was elected county assesor. McCoy wa nominated for the office in the May primary a few days after the date of the alleged threat and is the Democratic nominee in the Nov. 4 election. Defense attorneys argued in a hearing Wednesday that even if McCoy were the county assessor, he would be only one of five persons who could raise a tax assessment. The ame grand jury indicted a police captain and four policemen on charges that the captain accepted money from a convicted bawdy house operator and the policemen visited the house. Those cases still are pending. Two Cars Involved In Minor Accident A minor accident occurred Tuesday evening on private property near the Poplar drive-in, Vz mile north of Berne on U. S. 27. causing SSO damage to one automobile. Cars driven by Merlin Alt, 23, route one. Berne, and Charles W. Hoffman, 17, route two, Geneva, collided when the Hoffman vehicle attempted to back out of a parking space into the lane of traffic occupied by Alt. Both drivers applied the brakes of their autos suddenly, avoiding serious damage to both vehicles. The sheriff’s department and the state police estimated SSO damage to the Alt vehicle and none to the Hoffman auto.

U.S: Will Continue Harboring Cardinal Mindszenty Denied Permission To Leave WASHINGTON <UPD - The United States said today it would continue harboring Jozsef Cardinal Mindszenty in the U.S. legation at Budapest despite Hungary’s charge, this amounted to "gross interference” in Hungary s affairs. The State Department late Wednesday acknowledged Hungary had rejected an Americanrelayed request that Mindsgenty be given safe conduct out 3?*We country to attend the forthcoming meeting of Roman Catholic cardinals in Rome to elect a new pope. "The United States, acting at the express desire of the Sacred College of Cardinals, requested the Hungarian government to grant Cardinal Mindszenty safe conduct to attend the conclave of the Sacred College of Cardinals to participate in the election of a pope,” department spokesman Lincoln White said. “The Hungarian rejection of this request .has just been received.’’ White said he knew of no plans to ask the Hungarian government to reconsider its refusal. The Hungarian rejection note, announced in Budapest Wednesday, charged the United States with “gross interference” in attempting to secure Mindszenty's trip to the historic Vatican conclave. But White said he understood the, Hungarian charge was levelled at the entire question of granting the cardinal refuge. The cardinal has been living at the American legaion in Budapest sice Nov. 4, 1956. when the Soviets moved into the city with tanks at the height of the Hungarian revolution. Reports Accident To Decatur Police An accident was reported to the city police department late last night that occurred at Third and Madison streets involving one auto. Herman Linnemier, 62, Decatur, stated to the police that an oncoming car blinded him, causing his auto to strike the stop sign at Third and Madison streets. The accident was reported at 12:36 a. m. by Linnemier. No estimated damage was given by the city police. Don Jordan Winner By Split Decision LONG BEACH. Calif. (UPD — Boxer-puncher Don Jordan predicted confidently today that he'll win the world’s welterweight championship when he faces champion Virgil Akins Dec. 5. The 23-year-old Los Angeles fighter, who pounded out a rugged 12-round split decision over Mexico's Gasper Ortega Wednesday night, said he was “sure” he could beat Akins “because I'm a better boxer than he is.” Jordan, 143%, already rated the outstanding 147-pound contender by Ring Magazine, not only outboxed the stronger Ortega. 145%, but matched him punch-for-punch in the grueling televised encounter. ARMY (Continued from Page one) Trudeau and Medaris said any such transfer would damage weapons development at Huntsville. Medaris said the delays would be “rather disastrous.” The Army team launched America’s Explorer satellites and developed the Redstone and Jupiter ballistic missiles. Both generals hinted they thought inter-serfice rivalry as well as military-civilian competiton figured in the NASA proposal. Trade in a good town — Decatur.
