New York Central Asks Service Halt INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The New York Central Railroad Co. today sought discontinuance of all its passenger trains between Chicago and Cincinnati, a move which would mean the end of rail transportation for residents of some communities which have had it for more than 100 years. Petitions were scheduled to be filed today with the Indiana Public Service Commission and the Illinois Commerce Commission asking that three trains running in each direction daily be discontinued because losses last year totaled $848,998. The trains run from Chicago through Fowler, Lafayette, Lebanon, Indianapolis, Shelbyville, Greensburg and Batesville. The railroad said the one-vear loss of nearly a million dollars was "the actual out-of-pocket loss and does not include such general expenses as taxes and maintenance of rinrht-of-wav.” The pettions said "adeouate alternate service” is provided the affected areas bv “other rail carriers, buses and air transportation.”

l ike Dedicates Monument To Senator Taft WASHINGTON (UPII — President Eiseirtiower today dedicated a lofty bell tower of white marble as an enduring monument to the late Sen. Robert A. Taft, a man who gave himself unstintingly “for the good of all America.” The President, standing before a 10-foot bronze statue of Taft at the base of the fluted bell tower i rising more than 100 feet abovel a small Capitol Hill park, said the late Ohio Republican was “many things to many people.” While Taft described himself as a “politician,” Eisenhower said, “an admiring nation now acknowledges that he was infinitely more.” “...He was a liberal in his championship of individual rights and opportunity, but he was also the very symbol of informed and responsible conservatism in everything affecting the nation’s economy...” . Eisenhower, who defgated Taft for the Republican presidential nomination in 1952, said his onetime political foe who later became a staunch friend was a ’ “vital link” in his own relations ’ with Congress in the early days of his administration. As Senate Republican leader, he said, Taft always stood ready 1 to share his “vast knowledge of ' wisdom and experience’»£*when it was needed ; most. V Taft diea of cancer in 1953. The 1 dedication of themonument to him today fittingly coincided with the 1959 drive for funds for the American Cancer Society in the Washington area. Former President Herbert Hoover, Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Speaker Sam Rayburn and a number of other dignitaries also, spoke at the dedication ceremonies. Hoover praised Taft as a man of "magnificent courage and devotion” who took on the task of saving the nation from “corrosive poisons” spread by both Russia I and “irresponsible intellectualism.” He said Taft, who became Mr. ■ Republican” to friend and foe I alike, was a “bulwark...of intellectual and moral integrity., against those forces of reaction that would tear the United States into sects and cults of warring theor-i ists.'” » Motorist Is Fined On Traffic Charge One motorist received a fine in ’ justice of the peace court Monday night for a recent traffic offense, and another violator charged with ' speeding was cited for a hearing , later this week. Gerald L. Staub. 17, route five, Decatur, was assessed a fine of | $18.75 after pleading guilty to im-’ proper passing Monday evening in court. Staub was arrested by the city police Saturday on Mercer avenue when his auto was involved i in a property damage accident. I Ole S. Bakke, 32, Fort Wayne, ! was cited for a hearing Friday at • 5:30 o’clock to an affidavit filed by ’ the state police-Monday changing ■ Blakke with driving 75 miles* per • hour.

America Willing Io Accept Limited Ban GENEVA (UPD - American willingness to accept a-limited atomic test ban appeared today 1 to have got the Geneva •nSclear talks off to a fresh start despite a mild Soviet rejection of the plan. Soviet delegation leader Semyon Tsarapkin reacted with a “no,” when the United States offered the proposal at Monday’s first post-Easter meeting of the conference. However, he promised to give the plan careful consideration. | The proposal called for a step* Iby-step nuclear ban, beginning with an immediate bar on atmospheric explosions up to 30 miles above the earth’s surface and un- j dec water. Additional bans would be worked out later by the U.S., British and Russian controls commission to be set up by. the proposed treaty. It represented a major shift in American nuclear policy, which ’ previously had called’ for an un- 1 limited atomic ban backed by a strong, tight nuclear controls system. The Soviets have been demanding an unlimited, all-time ban with fewer controls. Western sources said an initial j limited ban would require far less : than the 180 static control posts advocated by the experts for detection of alOnuclear tests and j would eliminate the need for mobile -test—inspection teams ttjgt would rush to investigate the sites of suspected violations of the treaty. The West hoped this would allay Soviet fears that the West wanted to use the nuclear ban treaty to set up an extensive espionage system inside the Soviet Union. . .
