Sale Os Balloons Nels $179.45 Here The proceeds from the “galloon sale” Saturday, sponsored by the Adams county Multiple Sclerosis society, amounted to $179.45, according to the report today from Mrs. R. C. Hersli, president of the society. The three-city sale was conducted to increase funds for research and rehabilitation for sufferers of the crippling disease. Berne led the donations with $78.35 in balloon sales, while Decatur followed with $63. Geneva collected $38.10. The “hope chest” canisters will be picked up from the stores and business establishments around the county Monday. More funds are still needed and anyone wishing to contribute may contact Mrs. Hersh at her home, 104 N. 15th street, or call, 3-4489. She also has literature available concerning the story of MS. The fund drive, which started Mother’s day this year, will be concluded on Father’s day. No definite goal was set by the national office since more funds are necesary to continue the probe into the unknown cause and cure of MS. Mogilner Denied Insurance License INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Arthur J. Mogilner, former “Gio” salesman who figured in the Indiana highway scandals, was denied a license to sell life insurance Thursday. The State Insurance Department turned down Mogilner’s application on grounds that he was convicted of bribery in connection with the sale of more than a million dollars worth of equipment and supplies to the State Highway Dpartment during the administration of former Gov. George Craig.
Reject Escort By Jets For Patrol Planes WASHINGTON (UPD — Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy has ordered Far Eastern forces to continue unescorted patrol flights despite this week’s attack by Communist jets on an American Navy plane off Korea. McElroy told, a news conference mands of some congressmen that jet fighters accompany patrol flights near Communist countries to prevent a recurrence of the attack on a P4M Mercator over the Sea of Japan. He did, however, say that field commanders have the authority to order fighter escorts where the safety of American crews may be involved.
The secretary belieyes that the important issues raised by the attack involve an increase in international tensions — intensification of. the cold war—and freedom of the seas and of the free air spaces i fit the world. McElroy told a news conferen late Thursday that compared to these global issues, the question of providing fighter .escorts or heavy armament for patrol planes is “sort of an inside.” He said orders still stand that patrol flights over international waters shall be carried out in a manner- that is “not provocatative.” He added that this week’s attack will be considered as an isolated case of “lawless banditry.” -;s McElroy said there has been no positive identification of the nationality of the attackers, but expressed the opinion that they were "irresponsible je fighters,” from the North Korean Air Force. He said this was indicated by the geography of the incident. Under questioning, McElroy stuck to his contentions that the “isolated,” even though there attack was "irresponsible” and have been at least 11 attacks by Communist planes on American aircraft flying over international waters in the last 10 years. He said North Korean Communist planes fly the same areas as American patrols over the Sea of Japan, and are seen frequently without attacks resultmg. McElroy described as “ridiculous” the furor over whether some of the American planes’ guns were out of action because needed spare parts were lacking. He repeated # Pentagon statement that the guns in question had been dismantled to make room for extra reconnaissance gear. McElroy said this made the spare parts issue "ridiculous, because you Wouldn't hav put in the parts anyhow.” Parolee Is Held For Breaking Into Home An Indiana boys school, parolee is being held in Portland, arrested after breaking - into a Portland home. Portland city police Thursday arrested a 16-year-old youth, identified as Richard Spears Bradburn, who had been released from the boys school about six months ago. He had been found coming out of the home, and led two Portland police officers on a nearly halfmile chase before being arrested. Portland police chief Harry Strohi said the boy had hidden approximately SSO worth of it&ps taken from the home.
DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA
Stale Republicans f Plan For Campaign INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Hoosier Republicans apparently will be asked to rally, around a policy for “right to work” and against farm controls and subsidies during election campaigns this year and next. The GOP State Committee will be asked to approve a statement of Republican principles hammered out during a lengthy session Thursday by the Republican Party Principles Committee. The committee debated a draft of principles which was drawn up by a subcommittee of four prominent party members, including former Gov. Ralph F. Gates* Sixteen members of the 26-member committee went over the draft word by word at a session presided over by Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker. The revised draft now goes to the GOP State committee for consideration at its June 25 meeting. It was ordered by GOP State Chairman Robert Matthews following last year's Democratic electoin sweep. The committee met behind closed doors and put a secret stamp on its revisions to the Gates draft pending action by the state committee. Braves “Hot” Issues However, newsmen who saw the subcommittee’s original draft noted two . statements which related to issues that have proved to be “hot potatoes" in past. Under a heading of "labor” was his statement: “Wage earners should be thought of as individuals and not as indistinguishable members of large organizations ... as free men they must have the right of voluntary association in well organized and honestly run labor unions to further common goals. “Likewise, they must have the right,” the unrevised draft continued, “if they so choose, to seek, secure and maintain employment through their own efforts ’ and without any requirements of membership in any organization ” Parker, as presiding officer of the Senate, .staked his political future on survival of Indiana’s “right to work” law during the 1959 General Assembly. The law survived, after a major legislative battle. The unrevised statement of principles also called for free farm markets. Free Farm Markets , ‘‘There must be an orderly return to free markets for farm products," the Gates draft said. “Production controls and taxpayer subsidies are not consistent with a strong farm economy." The draft, attacked federal subsidies in education. (\ “We do not believe that the national government has any proper roles in financing and controlling education, whether at the public school level or in the field of higher education,” the original statement read. The first draft also took a strong stand favoring h<9pie rule and the least possible, “governmental competition and interference . . . with our free enterprise economy.” Absentees at the editing, session included Sen. Homer Capehart and Rep. Charles Halleck, neither of whom came from Washington for the meeting.' Capehart has been sharply critical of Matthews. Another absentee, however, was former Sen. William E. Jenner, a Matthews backer. The subcommittee which produced the original statement of principles consisted •of Gates. John Burkhart and C. Wendell Martin. Indianapolis, and Richard Ellis, Kokomo.

Court Ruling Seen Blow For Right To Work i INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The I Indiana Appellate Court held to- ■ day that labor contracts may rei quire non-members to pay fees to ’ unions equal to the dues of members without violating the state - "right to work” law. 1 Persons active in the “right to ' work” movement said the ruling ■ was a blow to the controversial ' law which was enacted in the 1957 Legislature and which weathered ' a stiff fight for repeal in the 1959 I session. i The high court upheld a so-called , “agency shop clause” which “right to work” advocates said was a “subterfuge to get around the law.” "The law enacted in Indiana was a poorly drawn law,” one “right to work” leader said. “It should have followed the provisions of the North Carolina law.” The court ruled on an appeal by the Meade Electric Co. of a Lake Superior Court ruling which held that Local 697 of the International Brotherhood of *Electrical Workers had a right to enforce a contract with Meade which provides that non - members must pay “an amount of motley equal to that paid by other employes in the bargaining unit who are members.” The high court said that Indiana’s “right to work” law does not specifically legislate against such a provision, which is called an “agency shop clause.” The ruling, written by Judge Dewey Kelley, said that 15 of the 19 states having “right to work” laws specifically prohibit the requirement that fees be paid by non-members of unions. It said Indiana, Arizona, Nevada and North Dakota laws do not. “The Indiana law is plain,” the ruling said, “unambiguous and there is no prohibition against the requirements of the payments ofj fees or charges to a labor organ- , ization. Had the Legislature intended to make such provisions and such conduct illegal, it should have so expressly declared in the language of the act. This court cannot judicially legislate.” The original Lake County ruling was given in a case' involving the electric company and Harold P. Hagberg, business manager of the IBEW local. The company appealed on grounds that it was forced to include an agency shop clause in ' its contract although such a clause is “strained, fanciful, a variance of form and not of substance” and violates the “right to work” law which passed the 1957 legislature and weathered a stiff fight for repeal in 1959.
Noblesville Youth Named Outstanding BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPD — Bruce Mcßride. a Noblesville High School pupil, was named “outstanding citizen” of Hoosier Boys’ State at Indiana University Thursday night. Governor Handley presented the Graham Medal to Mcßride in recognition of the honor. The madel has been awarded each year since 1946 to the outstanding citizen of the American Legion-sponsored event. It is in memory of the late Carl Graham, former commander of the Indiana legion. Finalists in competition for the medal in addition to Mcßride were Richard Janicki, Rolling Prairie; Jerry Dennerline. Indianapolis, and John Owen, Huntington. I The honor means that Mcßride | will join Steve Sfriith, Lafayette, governor of the State, as delegates to Boys’ Natio» in Washington. Figures Lie ’’ BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPD—Building inspector Harry J. Mathers made the startling discovery that Buffalo’s 32-story city hall had apparently shrunk almost 25 feet since 1931, when its height was listed at 398 feet. But Mathers explained that the building has always been 373*6feet tall. An error in addition had been accepted as fact for 28 years.
33-County Speedup In Mail Delivery INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — A speed-up in delivery of first-class mail was promised today by virtue of a reorganization of the postal transportation system in a 33-county area around Indianapolis. The goal was delivery of firstclass letters the day after they are mailed. It was in effort to answer complaints of postal patrons that sometimes mail arrived two or three days after it was posted only 20 miles away. The new system replaced an old system under which mail was funaeled through Indianapolis. Regional postal operations director Herbert C. Rumble said Indianapolis- now will be a “concentration center” and 22 other key postoffices will be *,‘sectional centers” surrounded by satellite postoffices. First-class mail will be sent on the most direct route to its destination instead of going to Indianapolis first. The system affects about 1,700,000 persons in a 13.1Q4 square mile area. The sectional centers are at Anderson, Bedford, Bloomington, Brazil, Columbus, Crawfordsville, Frankfort, Greencastle, Greensburg, Kokomo, Lafayette, Marion, Muncie, New Castle, North Vernon, Richmond, Rushville, Seymour, Shelbyville and Terre Haute. The coupties in the area are Bartholomew, Blackford, Boone, Brown. Clay, Clinton, Decatur, Delaware, Grant .Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks Henry”, Howard, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson, Lawrence, Madison Marion, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan Owen, Parke, Putnam, Randolph, Rush, Shelby, Tiptop Tippecanoe Vigo and Wayne. Over SI,OOO In Roger Miller Fund Over SI,OOO is guaranteed to go to the family of Roger Miller to help meet some of the many hospital bills the youth has acquired since he was critically injured in an accident April 10. A "Roger Miller Love Offering” was started for the Berne high school junior who is paralyzed from the chest down, several months ago with the results being almost overwhelming. Latest funds received by Mrs. Austin Merriman or Mrs. Marilou Roop at the Daily Democrat office, amount to S7O. Donors include Mrs. Edith Love, George Shosenburg, Paul Brenneman, Craigville youth fellowship, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Affolder and several “friends.” June 7 was designated as Roger Miller Sunday at several Methodist churches in the Fort Wayne district but funds have not yet been totaled for that collection.

Steel Strike Deadline Just 11 Days Away 'NEW YORK (UPD—Top level steel negotiations resume today with the nationwide strike deadline only 11 days away. The two top four-man negotiating teams were to go back into action after a recess of .two days to permit 500, union and industry representatives to discuss local problems affecting the 12 major steel companies which would be hit by a steel stoppage. David .J. McDonald, president of the United Steelworkers, expressed the hope for some “realistic bargaining” in the face of the midnight June 30 strike deadline. Industry’s chief negotiator in these talks on an industry-wide basis is R. Conrad Cooper, executive vice president of the U.S. Steel Corp. Management had nothing to say about the 12 separate meetings just concluded between 435 representatives of the union and 65 representatives of the 12 companies. McDonald's comment was that labor’s chairmen the various committees had briefed the union on those meetings but he refrained from giving any details of the discussions. He said the plant, committees adjourned “subject to call as the situation warrants.” _ It was at McDonald’s insistence that the compahy-by-company discussions were held. These larger groups had not partiipated in discussions since the first week of contract talks which began May 5. All of the interim sessions involved only the four-man teams.. Cooper, however, called the procedural agreement which permitted the company-by-company discussions an “encouraging” sign because “it is always encouraging when we can’ get on with our work.”
May Establish Banks Outside City Limits INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers said in 'an official opinion today that banks may be established outside city limits.

Use New Method To Kill Graih Insects U.S. department of agriculture scientists are making good progress in developing a method of using radio frequency electric « energy to control insects in stored grain, according to word received in the Adams county ASC office. It has been known for several years that stored-grain insects can be killed by brief exposure to radio frequency energy. The method has not been developed for commercial use because of high treating costs per bushel of grain. Scientist are now working with an experimental unit which kills most insects in stored grain without damage to the grain. However, they say that the experimental unit, while promising, should not be regarded as suitable for commercial grain processing because of its present low capacity of 400 bushels of grain per hour .
