Russ-East Germany Treaty Predicted BONN, Germany <UPD—Western diplomats predicted today the Soviet union would sign a separate peace treaty next month with Communist East Germany. The oft-threatened action would give the Communist regime additional authority on paper, at least—to assert control over Western supply routes to West Berlin on May 27. It also would be a major advantage in the Soviet campaign to win recognition internationally for the East German regime and to bring about formal negotiations between it and the West German government leading to a confederation of the two. Walter Ulbricht, East German deputy premier and Communist Party chief, told UPI in an interview recently the Communists would demand one half the seats in the controlling congress of such a Confederation although East Germany’s population is only onethird that of West Germany. The Soviets and their East German satellite always have warned they would conclude a separate peace treaty if the Western powers did not participate. Signing of a separate SovietEast German peace treaty would, in the eyes of the Communists, make East Germany’s borders the oficial borders of Germany. This would strengthen the Communists “legal” position in event the Western military ignores East German control oficers on highways leading to West Berlin. Two Tax Deadlines Near For Hoosiers INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Two tax deadlines neared today for Hoosiers.

Rescue Boys From California Ledge DALY CITY, Calif. (UPI)—Two small boys, the objects of a 15hour search, were rescued Thursday from a ledge halfway down a 500-foot cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The little adventurers were, George Smith Jr., 6, and Gary ’ Smith, 5. The • families of the ‘ youngsters ar? not related, but are neighbors in the Westlake dis- ' trict. ( The poys disappeared Wednesday afternoon, touching off a . widespread search which lasted ‘ throughout the night. Bloodhounds ’ were brought in and preparations were made to drag a small pond ] in the area. , Early Thursday, highway pa- ( trolman John Gabrielsen spotted j the youngsters cm a precarious ( perch 270 feet above a highway 1 that runs along the ocean. - j Gabrielsen and a fellow searcher," 3 Bob Elmenhorst, 25, carried the boys to within 75 feet of the j bottom of the cliff and a hook and 1 ladder truck from the fire depart- . ment reached them safely. George said he wasn’t scared 1 a bit during the long night on the ' narrow ledge. “One of us cried, but that was 1 him (Gary),” George said. “He 1 cried his head off.” ' “Os course, he’s littler,” the 6-year-old explained. I Wheat Rebel Takes ' Fight Into Congress ' WASHINGTON (UPl)—“Wheat 1 rebel” Stanley Yankus carried his 1 battle against federal farm poli- ' cies to Congress today but con- ‘ ceded he was outnumbered and probably would sail for Australia this summer. ' Yankus, a 40-year-old poultry j farmer from Dowagiac, Mich., ! was invited to testify before the 1 House agriculture subcommittee on wheat. The subcommittee warfts to ' hear how Yankus’ refusal to stop growing wheat for his chickens 1 resulted in confiscation of his life 1 savings. “I don’t want to take a defeat- 1 Ist attitude about this fight of ' mine,” Yankus said. “But the 1 Agriculture Department isn’t go- 1 ' when my 40 acres, of wheat pops out of fte ground this spring ‘the government probably will seize ‘ my farm machinery. They’ve alt J ready taken everything else but 1 the land itself.” Yankus, Chicago-raised son of 1 Lituanian immigrant parents, ' has vowed to seek a new hoe ’ in Australia if Congress doesn't ' refund the $1,701 seized from his 1 bank account. Tht was to satisfy ■ part of the $4,562 in fines and penalties levied on him since 1954 “My crime is using my land to produce crops,” the tall, bespectacled man said. Yankus was at a small desk in a Washington hotel room writing out notes for his Congressional testimony. “I wasn’t even growing the wheat to sell, but just to feed my chickens,” Yankus said, shaking his head from side to side. “The federal wheat policy is like waving a piece of bread before a hungry man’s nose and telling him he can’t eat it. The government won’t let me use my own land as I see fit.” Yankus said he never has ac- < cepted a federal subsidy. “I guess my parents brought me up to believe that everyone should earn his own living. I think it’s unjust to receive a subsidy at the expense of other taxpayers,” he explained. St. Louis Newspaper Strike In 7th Day ST. LOUIS (UPI) — A strike against the Globe-Democrat was in its seventh day today amid new charges by the St. Louis Newspaper Guild that pensions offered by the company have decreased in the past year. Publisher Richard Amberg indicated he would reply soon to a proposal to establish a pension fund equal to the Pulitzer plan used by the Post-Dispatch. Amberg said he was making a “very careful study” of the Guild proposal to recommend agreement if the Globe adopted the Pulitzer plan. The latest Guild charges, made after a study of the “company’s pension figures, said the pension payments have decreased by a third. Marvin Kornhauser, Guild actuary, said members retiring before 1958 got an average of S3O per week, but since Jan. 1, 1958, have gotten S2O a week. The Post-Ditspatch plan is a fully funded program providing monthly pension payments equal to 1 per cent of 'the employe's average monthly pay, multiplied by the number of years covered up to a maximum of 30 years. More than 300 Guild members walked out last Saturday morning. The newspaper has not attempted to publish sinee. About 700 Other workers were idled by the strike. ■

Los Angeles Is Likely Choice Os Democrats WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Democratic National Committee i appeared ready today to pick ' Vice President Richard M. Nixon’s home territory of Los Angeles I for the 1960 Democratic National Convention. The committee was meeting to act on the recommendation of its site committee that Democrats meet at Los Angeles next year to nominate their candidate for president. Chicago and Philadelphia were still fighting for the convention, but the available evidence indicated that the national committee 'Would confirm the selection of Los Angeles. H . Butler Backs L A Paul Ziftren, California national committeeman and one of the leaders of the campaign for Los Angeles, claimed the votes for that city. Neither Gov. David L. Lawrence, Pennsylvania national committeeman, nor J. M. Arvey, Illinois committeeman, claimed the votes for Philadelphia or Chicago for which they were making chopped state budget. Committee Chairman Paul M. Butler, who normally has a pocketful of proxies from absent members, was backing the Los Angeles bid. The 13-state Western bloc, with almost half of the necessary votes, was reported virtually unanimous in support of Los Angeles. Zifren contended that Los Angeles should be chosen to recognize the great upsurge of Democratic strength in the West. He also argued that Los Angelas was the “most neutral” of the possible sites, although Gov, Edmund G. Brown of California was expected to be at least a favorite son candidate for the presidential nomination. Cite Time Diferential Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago was present with a proxy vote in the national committee to team with Arvey in making the pitch for Chicago. Opposition to the Los Angeles bid was based partly on the travel expenses of convention delegates and partly on the television complications resulting from the ihree-hmir time lag behind the most heavily populated east. Kepubifo4>» National Committee is' expected so choose between Chicago and Philadelphia a month or more after the Dema,, cratic decision. The GOP has almost ruled out Los Angeles because it. expected the Democrats to meet there and because that city is the home territory of Nixon, who is now rated as the strongest conteder for the Republican nomination. Eight Robins Are Reported In City Either robins have lost their sense of accuracy, or the bird of spring is prematurely optimistic. According to Mrs. Anthony Baker, of Belmont Road, seven or eight of the “sure signs of spring” birds were seen lolling in Decatur’s frosty weather this morning at 8:35 o’clock. Whether this signals the approach of spring, or the suicide of seven or eight robins, was not determined at this early date. Music Booster Club Will Meet Tuesday The Music Booster club of Adams Central high school will meet Tuesday to discuss a permanent name for the club, the constitution and by-laR'S, and the April project. The meeting, open to all pupils and parens of pupils studying music, i> set for 7:30 p.m. Tne meeting will be in the high school's vocal music room.

Seek Resumption Os Strike Negotiations CHICAGO (UPD— The Central Bargaining Committee of the United Auto Workers today huddled pveh whether to accept an offer to resume negotiations from Allis-Chalmers Co. UAW members have been out on strike against the Milwaukeebased farm equipment firm since Feb. 2 when bargaining eforts between the union and management collapsed. Central bargaining had been going on before that since June 17. UAW Vice President Pat Greathouse said Thursday night he received a telegram from E.F. Ohrman, labor relations manager of Allis-Chalmers, in which the firm requested a meeting with union negotiators “no later than March 2.” Greathouse said the company telegram was in reply to an earlier cable sent by the union in an eforts to pave the way for further talks. The union offical said AllisChalmers had failed Jo include the issues of pension plans and supplementary unemployment benefits in a list of items sent the union earlier on which the firm would be willing to bargain centrally. ' Thursday night’s management cable stated. Greathouse said, that pensions and supplementary unemployment benefits “pose no basic problems” in ending the strike but that the Allis-Chalmers* invitation was “not an open door” to draw up a master contract. The company’s telegram added that next Monday s negotiations must be carried on both “centrally in Milwaukee and locally at each plant.” Greathouse said that despite uYiion - management diferences over the local and centrally based aspects of bargaining in the strike, he considered the firm’s offer “favorable.” “Our biggest hurdle has been getting back into negotiations,” Greathouse said, “and now it looks like we may be able to do just that.” Strike Idles Three Ohio Newspapers COLUMBUS, Ohio <UPD — Zhswatoy strike against Columbus’ daily .n&sagtoperfe forcing them to suspend operations. Robert W. Irwin, business manager of the morning Ohio State Journal, acting as spokesman for the newspapers, said members of the Columbus Web Pressman’s Union walked out at the Journal the Columbus Dispatch and the Columbus Citizen. “Negotiations for a new contract between the parties were broken off on Wednesday evening by the union scale committee when it abruptly rejected every offer the publishers had made during the contract meet i ng s which began last Dec. 10,” Irwin said. John C. Winnestafer, president of Local 15, Newspaper Pressmen’s Union, said the main issue is the length of the Saturday night shift. He said pressmen now work a 6%-hour shift Saturday night with time and a half pay for the first hour of overtime and.double time fbr the remainder of the overtime. The pressmen want to cut this to a five-hour shift without any cut in total pay for the might, Winnestafter said. Wages are also an issue, but the union leader declined to disclose what union demands are. Another union spokesman said journeymen pressmen get $3.15 per hour. Pickets were posted at the Citizen building and the Dispatch building, where both the Dispatch and the Journal are published.
