Cold Front Moving Eastward In U.S. United Press International The topsy-turvy weather picture across the nation began to level off Friday, with a trend away from extremes toward a cloudy compromise in most sections. In the Rockies, where snow-d’-’fts ur> to three feet hieh had dosed schools in Colorado Springs U'nuisday, and across tne central states, where early crops were endangered by an overnight frost, precipitation lightened and no sharp temperature drops were expected today. The Atlantic coast and Southern states, which had enjoyed balrny temperatures ranging from 69 in New York to 81 at Atlanta, braced for a slow moving cold front from eastern Texas.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Hoosier Is Nominee For Space Travel MITCHELL, Ind. (UPD-Mem-bers of the family of Virgil I. Grissom said today they were proud the Air Force captain was one of seven pilots picked to train for space travel in a satellite. “Naturally, we’re all very proud of him,” his brother, Norman, said. “It's a great honor.” Norman said the Grissom family was not surprised at the announcement because relatives knew Virgil was “in the running” for the job. Virgil Grissom was born here and was graduated from Mitchell High School in 1944. He went from high school into military service and served 15 months in the Air Forde. Following his discharge, he attended Purdue University and earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering in 1950- •■■■ *■ Less than a year later, he joined the Air Force for the second time. “He flew more than 100 missions in Korea,” his brother said. “He was a Sabrejet pilot.” Grissom, his wife and their two sons live at Enon, Ohio, near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base at Dayton where he is assigned. He said he wasn't in doubt about what his wife's reaction to his new role .would be. “There never was any question about it,” Grissom said. “She just said, ‘Do you even have to ask?’ “If my wife wasn’t as enthusiastic as I, I wouldn’t be here,” . he said. His wife, Betty, said .she wasn’t taken by surprise. “I had a feeling he’d be one of ;them,” she said. “I just put two and two together and figured they .would pick my husband. | “I'm not going to worry about : it. I’ll think of it as just another assignment. “I know he’s,happy,” she said. “And if he is happy, I am.” Mrs. Grissom said her older son. Scott, 8, who wants to be a pilot like his father, “is just thrilled.” The couple’s other son, Mark, is 5. Grissom, a slightly built, darkharied man, said he “took his religion seriously,” He is a member of the Church of Christ. None of the'; seven men will know which of them is to be sent into orbit in 1961 until the day: of the flight. But an official said all seven are expected to ride a satellite into space eventually. -—Grissom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Grissom, were attending a church meeting Thursday afternoon when word of their son’s selection was announced in Washington. But they knew of the selection the night before. HH '"”l

Hassle Continues On Marion County Clerk INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana Supreme Court today stepped in and took sides with Edwin McClure in a political hassle over who is clerk of Marion County. The high court, with only two judges present, issued a temporary writ of prohibition enjoining Marion Supreme Judge M. Walter ' Bell from barfing McClure as clerk. The complicated legal maneuvering began when clerk Harry J. Gasper, a Democrat, died Tuesday night. His death caused a temporary ; postponement in the Connie Nicholas murder trial. Less than 24 hours after his death, Governor Handley appointed McClure, a Republican, to succeed Gasper. His action was based on a 1951 attorney general’s ruling which allowed a former Democratic governor to name a county clerk. The ruling held that the clerk is an officer of the judi--1 cial branch, not a county official. Handley’s decision met with the i disapproval of the Marion County Board of Commissioners. They , contended the right of appointment was vested with them. The commissioners, by a 2 to 1 vote, named Gasper’s widow to 1 fill the vacancy. McClure sought relief from Marion Circuit Judge John Niblack. Niblack approved McClure’s petition for an order to compel the commissioners to sign McClure’s bond. But hours later, Bell issued a temporary restraining order against McClure and declared Gasper’s widow as the clerk. That forced McClure to appeal at once to the Supreme Court for a ruling as to whether the governor or the county commissioners have the authority to fill a vacancy in the clerk’s office The high court ruling came only 25 minutes before Democrat Tony Maio planned to open the clerk’s office “in the name of Louise Gasper.” The high court’s ruling meant that McClure would take over as clerk, at least temporarily, pending any legal action filed on behalf of Mrs. Gasper. Sales of baby food in the U.S. last year reached a record of more than 300 million dollars. There are about 1,400 different producers of frozen foods in the U.S.

Chinese Reds Fail To Slow Rebellion

f ’ i NEW DELHI (UPD—The Ctji- - nese Communists have resorted i to "peaceful persuasion” in their efforts to put down the Tibetan > rebellion but the effort has failed . and fighting has spread from the . borders of China itself to western * Tibet, reports reaching New Delhi said today. Hie reports said the Khampa tribesmen had ambushed Chinese units and inflicted heavy casual- * ties upon the Red troops, many of them described as young boys or fresh cadets just getting their f training in Chinese military coli leges. The situation has become so 5 bad the Peiping regime admitted - to its people that the anti-Commu- - nist uprising could not be crushed s “in a short period,” the Nationalj ist Central News Agency reported r from Hong Kong. It quoted a Churchill To Visit * ; Eisenhower In May * AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) — The White House announced today 1 that former British Prime Minis--5 ter Sir Winston Churchill will visit President Eisenhower for three ' days in May. 1 The rsnusn leader has had a long-standing invitation to visit his 3 old friend of World War II and I was forced to cancel a trip to Washington last year because of > illness. r The President and Mrs. Eiseni hower will have Churchill as their . White House guest May 4-5-6, and II on May 7 Sir Winston will move r to the British embassy for one . night there before leaving Wah--5 ington. News of the Churchill visit was announced at the vacation White r House as the President prepared r to give his blessing at a lunch , \ conference here to the selection ’| of a new Republican national, ! I chairman, expected to be Sen. Thruston Morton of Kentucky. 1 Because Churchill no longer oc- > cupies an official position in the ■ British Empire, his visit to Wash- ■ ington will be of an informal nature, but the White House expected that the ESenhowers would entertain for the former prime minf ister, now in his 80s. The President worked in his of-. t fice briefly this morning, then; , played golf before the arrival of | " his Republican conferees at the ' Augusta National Golf Club.

news broadcast beamed for home consumption. Private sources said the Chinese were sending mule-borne emissaries into rebellious areas to appeal to all Tibetans to help fight the rugged Khampds tribesmen who control many areas outside the Tibetan capital ot Lhasa. These emissaries go from village to village in a propaganda drive, the reports said- They also were reported to have distributed letters allegedly written by the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of the Tibetans, condemning the tribesmen's anti-Communist activities—letters described in India as fakes. The sources said the Communists were failing in their drive to win cooperation. The Dalai Lama still was moving through the Assam jungles toward civilization. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said Thursday the Dalai Lama was expected to reach his destination in about 12 bays.
