Q 1 — 0 I The People’s Voice | I Thia column la for the use of | | rtur readers who wish to make | | suggestions for the general I [ good or discuss questions of j [ interest. No articles will be I published without signature of | the author. To the Editor: The undersigned asks for space in your “private opinions** column. First, we wish to express our thanks for your little editorial in Saturday night’s paper, giving the total number of votes cast for each of the three parties in Indiana and for the comment that the Prohibitionists were three times as strong as two years ago. Yes, and we Prohis are as elated and happy about that as you Democrats are about your landslide. We count it a victory. We wish all who read that could know what it takes to circulate petitions which have to be notarized. To the ministers who let us work the petitions through their membership our most grateful thanks.

To the ministers who were too busy with ice cream socials, camps, personal vacations, etc., to give us any aid, we extend sorrow and regrets that they too arc not enjoying the taste of accomplishment. Thanks to the people of good will whom we interrupted at their supper hour and to those on whom we called in the evening who were gracious enough to turn off their TV’s to listen to us and to sign. (All the time we could give was from 4 p. m. to 8 p. m. as a notary must accompany us and they are employed during the day. Remember the hot, muggy miserable days of August when it rained every day? Drose were the days.) Last but not least our truly grateful thanks to each and every notary. The faet that we received as many yates as we did saves us from petition work two years from now. Hence our appreciation for all who helped us. To the “dry” Republicans Who wouldn’t go along with us for fear they’d “lose” their vote, what is the status of your vote today? Let us-add that we still subscribe to the theory that nothing is politically right that is morally wrong and that we are our brothers’s keeper. Nota Niblick and co-workers.

Indiana Highway Program Outlined Spending Program Over $134 Million FRENCH LICK, Ind. (UPD— Governor Handley* Tuesday night revealed a 1959 Indiana highway spending program totaling $134.300,244 that ‘‘will affect every part of the state.” Handley told the Indiana Highway Constructors Association the complete program will be made public next month. ‘*l am able to announce that the 1959 program calls for an initial target of $134,300,244, which is $14,300,000 more than the original 1958 target,” Handley said. “Since construction bids have been running around 10 per cent below the careful estimates of our engineers, you can presume that the 1959 program—as it finally works out—will be equal to the performance of 1958, or even better.” The governor said about 13 million dollars will be allocated for primary highways, iibout 15 millions for secondary roalds and about 26 millions for urbar. routes. In most instances, the totals include matching federal funds. Washington To Match In addition, Handley said another 7 million dollars will be matched by Washington on a 9-to-1 basis, giving the state an additional 80 millions for interstate construction. The governor said that if the state continues its “present wise course, the time will come within our own lifetime when there will not be a single mile of public roads anywhere in Indiana which will be without a hard surface, open in all weather, and properly maintained.” Handley also took the occasion to pat himself on the back fori completing more highway con-1 structin in a single year “thanj ■had ever been done in all four: i years of any previous state ad- ! ministration." He said a 120 million dollar; highway program planned for 1958 ‘.‘seemed a dream goal” when| first devised. But he said the final | ‘ total for the year actually reached i more than 151 millions. I He said that was “an outstand-j

ing record.” In a reference to recent highway scandals which rocked the state, he said he would "welcome any sincere, fact-find-ing Inquiry which the Legislature might choose to conduct” in the highway department. Credits 1957 Legislature Handley credited the 1957 General Assembly for the improvement in ttye state’s highway system. “Because of the farsighted and realistic action in 1957 which gave Indiana a gasoline tax rate that has been proved adequate to meet the state's basic needs, no further increase is necessary,” he said. He said the action to increase the gas tax and the gross income tax was “a courageous step.” Handley, a staunch foe of federal aid in almost all fields, defended his decision to accept federal matching funds for his highway program. “There is no other way to recover any of these (tax) dollars from Washingtn except to participate in the matching funds program, which has been in effect for many years,” Handley said. “We cannot unscramble the egg.” COURT NEWS Marriage Application Sylvia K.

Community Stirred By Unusual Killing Business Executive Killed Union Worker (EDITOR’S NOTE: A week ago May a business executive shot to death a tmion organiier who had been causing trouble at his unionised plaint. The executive is in jail awaiting legal action. UPI sent Janies L. Kilgallen, who has covered many major crime stories in his long career as a reporter, to the scene to brine this incident up to date. His dispatch follows). By JAMES L. KILGALLEN United Press International CHESTER, N.Y. (UPI) — Diis community of 3,000 population is greatly stirred up by an unusual homicide — the shooting to death of a union organizer by a factory president plagued by union trouble. In jail in nearby Goshen, awaiting possible gYand jury action, is Malcolm R. White, 48, mild-ap-pearing head of Chester Cable Corp., which manufactures cable and electrical wiring. Die man he killed was Alfred Dugan, 52, a dapper 6-footer who had been trying to dislodge one union within White’s plant and substitute his own local. "It was justifiable homicide,” said Henry Hirschberg, newlyappointed counsel for White. “The defendant is not in the criminal class. He is a man who led a good life and got involved in an unfortunate episode. He had never committed a crime. He tells me he was in terror of Dugan. He says he knew Dugan had a criminal record.” Had Feared Attack The paths of White and Dugan crossed half a mile from White's picketed plant at about 8:20 last Thursday morning. White claims, according to Hirschberg, that as Dugan came toward White he had his hand in his pocket and that White thought the man was going to attack him. White “wanted to protect himself.” said Hirschberg. White emptied his .32 calibre automatic into Dugan. Hirsc h b e r g’s first move in White's defense was to request an open public hearing for White. In letters to Magistrate Peter B.

Bush and Orange County Dlst. Atty- Abraham S. Isseks, he urged such a hearing as soon as possible, preferably next week. The grand jury has not yet acted in the case. If Hirscbberg’s move fails, he said he will then have to wait and see whether the grand jury returns an indictment against White—or not. Claims Self-Defense Hirschberg said today that the defendant will not claim duress. The attorney pointed out that White willingly gave himself up. If White is brought to trial for the killing of Dugan, his defense will be "self-defense.” according to Hirschberg. The lawyer said he would contend it was a case of justifiable homicide and that Whito is entitled to acquittal. Hirschberg is a colorful attorney and ‘well-known in this region. He is 19 years old and is a veteran of almost 100 murder cases in which he acted as either prosecutor or counsel for the defense. He was once an attorney for Harry K. Thaw. “I think White should be freed.” said Hirschberg. “I am not working for a plea of less than first degree murder. I want him out erf jail a free man.” Mrs. Eleanor White, the defendant’s wife, has visted her husband in the Goshen jail several times since his arrest. She is White’s second wife. White has three children, two by his first wife and one by his present wife. White was reported to be holding up pretty well in jail but. according to Hirschberg, he sometimes becomes depressed. Senator Johnson No President Candidate WASHINGTON <UPD — Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson iTex.) says he’s "not a candidate” for the presidential nomination in 1960. He told reporters Wednesday that not only was he not a candidate but. "I do not expect to be one and the only job 111 seek is the one I hold.” t o 20 Years Ago Today Nov. 20, 1938 was Sunday and no paper was published.

Lobbyist Confers With Grand Jurors Hear More Evidence On Fund Shortage ALBION, Ind. (UPI)-A Noble County grand jury met with lobbyist Samuel P. Haines of Indianapolis for three hours Wednesday as it sought to unravel the mystery surrounding a reported two million dollar shortage in the Noble County Credit Union. Haines was scheduled to appear before the jury Tuesday. His failure to appear led Prosecutor Louis Ketcham to threaten him with “appropriate action” for ignoring a subpena. Haines, a representative of the Washington Information and Investigative Council, would not comment on his testimony before the jury. He told newsmen his firm is made up of “public relations specialists” and was formed in 1954. He said he is listed as a lobbyist in Washington and has been active in this field for 26 years. Observers speculated that a number of businesses owned by Arnold G. Hobbs were in the council headed by Haines. Hobbs, former manager of the credit union, has been charged with several counts of embezzlement. The grand jury also heard testimoney from Indiana State Police Det. Sgt. Howard Lightfoot, Fay. Parr, acting manager of the insolvent credit union, and Hal Stump, and Albion depositor. The jurors were to have closed the book on the investigation Wednesday. But they .indicated the probe would continue at least through today. Ketcham filed two petitions Wednesday with Noble- Circuit Judge Kenneth King asking that the credit union’s records be made available to the grand jury. He requested that the records be impounded so that only authorized personnel of the credit union, grand jurors and himself could see them. Earlier, Robert Fox, assigned by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions to serve as temporary manager of the union, refused to turn over records to the grand jury without legal steps firs} being taken. Urge Cities Fight Pollution Os Air

Possible Cause Os Cancer, Other Ills WASHINGTON (UPD—The first National Conference on Air Pollution prepared today to urge a stepped-up attack against dirty air over the nation’s cities. The 900 delegates will wind up their three-day session with recommendations for a long-range air cleanup. They were expected to call for more action by federal, state and local governments, industry and individual citizens. The conference was called by the U.S. Public Health Service for the specific purposes of focusing attention on the air pollution problem and developing a 10-year plan to combat it. Possible Cancer Cause The delegates were given this picture of the effects from contaminated air: A possible cause of lung cancer, asthma, and other diseases; and a nationwide cost of 57,500.000,000 a year. Arthur C. Stern, air pollution research engineer for the Public Health Service, said atmospheric sampling in recent years showed that air over the nation’s cities is getting dirtier. He said city air is five times as contaminated as that over rural areas. Sally Butler, legislative director for the General Federation of Woman's Clubs told the conference that American women so far have shown “an amazing tolerance’’ to dirty air. But she said this tolerance is bound to wear, thin as time goes by. Blame Auto Exhausts Officials from Los Angeles have blamed auto exhausts for a large share of the air pollution. They have .been demanding stepped up research by the auto industry to control exhausts. James M. Chandler of the Ford Motor Co. said the industry is testing a number of devices to “control some undesirable exhaust emissions.” But he said there are still many problems to be solved before a commercially acceptable 1 device is achieved. Another industry spokesman, Charles M. Heinen, Chrysler Corp, engineer, said exhaust control should reduce Los Angeles air control problems, but questioned whether it would have any effect on the problem in other cities.
