In Juvenile Court Two parents, both former residents in Union township and well known in Decatur, found out, to the tune of a SSOO fine and a year in the Toledo, 0., workhouse for one of them, that public mooching is not permitted in Van Wert county. Found guilty on a charge of contributing to the neglect and dependency of their six children, the wife will undergo a physical examination before sentencing, but the husband has already been sentenced. The shameful conditions found in their home near Glenmore, included human elimination oh the floors, and an odor throughoutthe house so foul that aerosol bombs had to be used before the officers could complete the examination. food in the house was a small amount of pancake flba£ 4 peck'of potatoes, one can of pumpkin. There was nb oil for the 2-bumer kerosene cook stove; no water for laundry, the pump being broken, no electricity, although photographs by the sheriff’s office showed a television set, an electric refrigerator, a gas stove, and an automobile. The shameful condition was discovered when school authorities reported that the children had been found taking candy, apples and other items at school. This practiced eased, however, wh6n the children were put on the free lunch list; it was discovered that the children were actually starving, receiving only what they could scavanger at school. Welfare aid had been denied when the father refused to work. When questioned, he testified that he had not worked steadily since 1953; when asked why he hadn’t taken employment proffered by the welfare department, he replied that he could not get there at the time requested—7:3o a. m. He even admitted that a nearby lumber company had discontinued supplying the family with scrap lumber to burn because he had refused to help load or unload it! - One of th eyounger children’s knees had been infected since Christmas, and a physician stated that permanent injury would have resulted without treatment at this ~ Judge Cathryn L. Harrington rempved all six children from the custody of the parents and placed them in the permanent custody of the Van Wert county welfare department for adoption or other disposition. It’s a terrible thing to have to separate a family; but it would be even more terrible for society s to allow children to be raised in heatless, foodless, filthy homes, in soiled beds, with no apparent emotional regard for the wellbeing of the family. This family once lived in Adams county; we hope tt was not in the same condition, but evidence is against hope. Welfare is for the unfortunate, not the shiftless. Active cooperation of the sheriff of Van Wert county, the juvenile officer, school authorities, two churches, the welfare director, who administers township-type aid in Ohio, the physician, and finally and most import; ant of all, an understanding judge who weighed the value of family life against the crimes to society of starving, freezing, and neglecting young children, and found the defendents wanting, resulted in making public a disgraceful social condition. We cannot believe that society should ever permit such conditions to exist in acountry founded on Christian principles filled with Christian people. Although the name of the family was released, it will not be used in hopes that the public shame will be .'..directed only against the parents, who deserve it, and sins and punishment of their parents.

Denounces Plan To Curb Wheat Output

WASHINGTON (UPD-A ad&esman for wheat growers today denounced the administration’s plan for curbing surplus wheat produc- — tion as “ruthless, callous, and self-defeating.” The spokesman urged Congress to turn, instead, to a “domestic parity” wheat control plan. Herbert Hughes of Imperial, Neb , chairman of the program committee of the National Association of Wheat Growers, outlined the association's plan in testimony to a House agriculture subcommittee study wheat legislation. Subcommittee Chairman Carl Albert <D-Okla.) refused to pre-, diet - what his group would recommend, but said he hoped it would complete action in time to permit a House vote on wheat legislation before May 1. Hughes said the administration proposal to curb wheat production by slashing support prices would ’’eliminate” growers to solve the problem created by technological — advances in production efficiency. WASHINGTON (UPD — Farm belt congressmen made a futile appeal to Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson last week for higher feed grain price supports. Today they were trying to force Benson’s hand by legislation. Reps. J. Floyd Breeding ’ (DKan.l, W.R. Poage (D-TexJ, and other members of both houses Tuesday introduced bills which would require Benson to support prices of rye, oats, barley, and grain sorghums at a level equal to supports on corn, taking into consideration the actual feed value of each grain as compared with corn. Benson had reduced feed grain supports for 1959 to 60 per cent of the “fair earning power” parity price. If they were boosted as Breeding’s bill proposes, the groin sorghum support would go from — Benson’s level -of $1.52 per hundredweight to about $1.90 per hundredweight. WASHINGTON (UPD— Profits narrowed in the nations broiler industry last year as production shot up to record levels, an Agriculture Department report indicated today. The department reported about ’ 1,601,349,00 chicks were placed on broiler-growing farms in 22 major producing states last year. This was an increase of 16 per cent above 1957. Preliminary estimates of gross ■ broiler income in the 22 states place it at $890,245,000. up less than 12 per cent from 1957. _ r" - - WASHINGTON (UPD — The* government had a record $9,020,101,000 tied up in farm price supports last Jan. 31, an Agriculture Deparmtnet report showed today. The—previous—record—of $8,930,“000.000 was set iiT February, 1956. The figure for last Jan. 31 represented an increase of about sl,810,000.000 over one year earlier. The big jump was due to heavy price support operations on the bumper 1958 crops. The department reported that price support loans and puchases on the 1958 crops through Jan. 31, 1959, was nearly $3,460,000,000. This compared with about $1,765,000,000 on 1957 crops through Jan. 31, 1958. Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson has predicted that in spite of continued heavy disposals of government - held surpluses, the price support investment may rise to nearly $10,500,000,000 by June 30, 1960. Beaman Appointed Handley Assistant INDIANAPOLIS —Governor Handley announced today that Edwirf W. Beaman, former Indiana state senator from Princeton and now state revenue commissioner, will become his administrative assistant next week. Beaman will succeed Vernon Anderson, who is resigning effective March 15. Anderson is former mayor of HammondSeaweed meal, used experimentally in animal feed, has been found to increase milk and egg production. Sheep produced more lambs and better wool, turkey mortality was reduced and pigs fattened up faster with seaweed in their diet. The Rank of America in San F’rancisco is the nation's largest commercial bank on the basis of its more than 10 bilion dollars in deposits. Next comes the Chase Maphattan Bank of New York with more than seven and a quarter bilion dollars in deposits. There were 2,878,000 new telephones installed in the U.S. last year. " ' .

The bills included 216 Senate measures and 292 House measures. In all, 996 bills were introduced by the Indiana Legislature. A few of the bills will die for lack of time in working out compromise agreements, .because the house of origin dissented in amendments made by the other house. Most of the bills either are on Handley’s desk or going through the attorney general’s office to be screened for constituitonality before -they go to the -governor's office. . /' ... . . '• ' ■ t ■ Handley will then sign, veto, allow -to become law without his signature, or pocket veto the bills.

Four Men Held For Bank Holdup Monday MASSAPEQUA, N.Y, (UPD — Police seized today four men who held up a Long Island bank, three of them as they were counting out the $70,000 loot on a kitchen table. Nassau County police said the bandits were previously reputable business men, none of whom had a police record. The four signed statements admitting the daring business-houre holdup of the Security National Bank here Monday afternoon, officers reported. They will be charged with armed robbery. A pair of handcuffs, which witnesses eaid were carried by one of the masked holdup men, led to the roundup. Police said a check of local dealers indicated that handcuffs had been purchased recently by Thomas Parks, 87, a plumber of Bayshore. Parks was questioned at his home and finally admitted that he was one of the thugs. He identified his companions-in-crime and police located them at the home of Anatole Rylsky, 44, a tavern owner, of West Babylon. With Rylsky in his kitchen were Richard Hatch, 53, a blueprint developer of West Babylon, and William McHenry, 31. an insurance salesman of Lindenhurst They were counting out the loot, which they had brought from the bank in paper sacks, preparatory to dividing it up. All of the stolen money was recovered, authorities said. May Try To Recover Moon's Instruments VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (UPD—A Discoverer satellite shot tentatively set for late this month might involve America’s first attempt at recovery of the baby moon’s instruments. Air Force cargo planes known to have been practicing recovery flights near Hawaii will zoom by the 40 to 50-pound payload ejected form the high flying satellite and try to recover the package in nets trailing behind the planes. The instrument package in the 1300-pound satellite will be fired backwards out of the satellite so that it loses orbital speed and returns toward the earth. When it has slowed down sufficiently from its- more than 1800-mile-an-hour velocity, a parachute will open and further slow its descent to assist the recovery operation. It was indicated that the “Project Discoverer” program of satellite launchings here set for one-a-month would not involve an attempted recovery for the first three or four shots. But it was learned Monday that, readiness of necessary equipment and other factors permitting, the recovery program would be speeded up. “Project Discoverer” is aimed at clearing the way through -a maze of space problems for the palcing of a man into a satellite around the earth and recovering him. Group Spring Rally Here Friday Night The Evangelical United Brethren men will hold their annual Decatur group spring rally at the Bethany church in Decatur Friday at 6:30 p.m., Chalmer Bollenbacher, group leader, announced today.
