DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

ChaDenges Hoffa To Sue For Libel WASHINGTON (UPD — Teamsters President James R. Hoffa said today he would accept a challenge to sue Senate Rackets Committee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy for libel. , Kennedy hurled a half dozen charges at Hoffa on the nationwide television program “Meet (the Press” and then challenged the peppery union leader to sue for libel. Hoffa told United Press International he bad “every Intention” of bringing libel action against Kennedy for these charges and for accusations he made last Wednesday on “The Jack Paar Show.” He said he also would sue NBC, the network that carried both programs. The Teamster chief said he, union attorney Edward Bennett Williams and other lawyers would go over a transcript of “Meet the Press” today to decide which portions to cite in the libel action. Hoffa said the suit would be filed as soon as the necessary legal papers could be prepared. He said Williams would decide where to lodge the action and other details of the suit. Kennedy charged on the program Sunday that the rackets investigation had shown “that Mr. Hoffa has made collusive deals with employers, ’ that he betrayed the union membership, that he put gangsters and racketeers in important positions of I power within the Teamsters Union. (andi that he has misused union funds.” Kennedy challenged Hoffa to sue him “immediately” for libel so that a jury could decide if the accusations were true. If Hoffa were found guilty of any of the charges, Kennedy said, he should resign as Teamster president because he would not be “worthy” to hold the job. Hoffa said he watched Kennedy immediately following his own appearance on “Face the Nation” on the CBS network. He said the counsel "acted like a small kid again.” Six Traffic Deaths Reported In State United Press International Indiana racked up a sub-par total of at least six weekend traffice fatalities, and for the first time in weeks, no drownings were reported during the 54-hour period. At least two traffic deaths occurred Sunday, both in the “deep south.” Herman French, 49, New Albany, was killed late Sunday when his automobile smashed into a ! bridge in New Albany. Thomas Cook, 31, Jeffersonville, was killed Sunday morning when his car went out of control on a Clark County road and hit a post. Three persons were reported killed in traffic Saturday and one Friday night. Frank Huss, about 70, South Bend, was killed late Saturday while walking across U.S. 31 from a roadside fruit stand north of Plymouth. He was hit by a car driven by Dale Mohler, 37, Elkhart. Jack* Wheeler, 22, Indianapolis, was killed early Saturday in a drag race with another car near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 'George Watson, 20, Indianapolis, ;the driver of the car, was unhurt but was charged with reckless homicide. Wheeler’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Sue Wheeler, 18, Was burned seriously when the car crashed I into an abutment, flipped over and burst into flames. Police hunted I the driver of the second car. William T. Hamm, 29, Elkhart, was killed early Saturday when I his car crashed into a house trailer on Ind. 112 on the outskirts *of Elkhart. Jennings B. White. 61, Indianapolis. was killed Friday night in a two-car crash south of Greenwood on U.S. 31. At least two other Hoosiers were killed in out-of-state wrecks. Robert Webster, 64, Evansville, was killed Sunday on U.S. 41 near Henderson, Ky., when a car sruck his bicycle. Raymond Hawn, .36, Gary, was one of two persons killed in a car-station wagon collision near Logan, lowa, Saturday. I '{¥ U-. r.t w > L................ ■■■ HERO— Harold Spense (above), Levittown, N. Y., is a hero today. Visiting his aunt in Louisville, Ky., he spotted the license number of a bandit car just after a >6,000 savings and loan association robbery. His prompt action led to arrest of two suspects only seven minutes later.

Gov. Handley Defends His l ' Administration i INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Gover- - not Handley voiced a sweeping det sense of his administration, par--1 ticularly its highway program, to- ? day. Charging that his opponents - have utilized the "big lie tech- ’ nique,” the Governor disputed the t contention of Sen. Vance Hartke 1 (D-Ind.) that Indiana ranks only t 38th in planning its highway pror gram and 42nd in actual road con--1 struction. Handley maintained the records of the U.S. Bureau of Roads, on , the contrary, disclose that Indiana t is 14th in national highway con--1 struction without going into debt, t while almost every other state has i resorted to big bond issues to fi- - nance highway building. Low Rank Raised s "When I became Governor, In- ' diana was 47th in comparative . standing with other states in high--1 way construction,” Handley said I in a prepared statement. “We were almost 40 million dollars be- ■ hind in matching federal funds • which were- about to expire. The highway department was at low > ebb because of mismanagement • and even some corruption. . In the calendar year of 1958 our ■ construction program totaled more f than 156 million dollars, which was four times as much as had 1 been done in Indiana in any previous year.” 1 Other highway accomplishments I under the Handley regime were • listed as follows: • —lndiana has completed 898.3 miles of federal-aid highways ■ since July 1, 1956, in addition to • roads, streets and highway fi- ' nanced in this state. —ln the same period, 254 state highway bridges and countless county bridges were widened. —ln addition, 421 miles of other state roads are being constructed and 86 more bridges are being built. New Bridges Cited Handley recalled that six new bridges across the Ohio River have been authorized during his administration. “This bridge program will have great economic effect on the entire economy of Indiana and Kentucky," he said. It will make the entire St. Lawrence Seaway available to the mid-South via Indiana and our Lake Michigan port.” The Governor also cited the awarding of a $103,000 construction contract for a new National Steel Co. mill in Porter County near the proposed port, adding that the mill will employ 2,200 persons at the outset with an original payroll of $lB million a year and an eventual employment of 10,000. Treasury Reimbursed Handley recalled that more than five million dollars of unexpended appropriations were returned to the state treasury June 30. “The carping of partisan critics who take great liberties with the truth for questionable political advantage will not delay the resistless forward march of debt-free Indiana's explosive economy,” the Governor said. Handley was in San Juan, Puerto Rico, today for the Governors’ Conference. With other governors, he will discuss state tax and fiscal problems on a television and radio network program entitled “American Forum of the Air” on Sunday. Enters Guilty Plea To Speeding Charge A local motorist was fined $1 and costs at justice of the peace court Saturday on a charge of speeding on 13th street on 10:25 p.m. Friday. James Lyle Plasterer, 20, of Homestead 21, pleaded guilty to the charge posted by the city police at the court at 1 p.m. Saturday.

U.S. Exhibition In Moscow Is Crowded MOSCOW (UPD—Two of the biggest hits at the U.S. Exhibition in Moscow are the Sears (Roebuck catalogue and the Rus-sian-speaking American guides. Russians have shown their en- ; thusiasm for the exhibition, that . opened Saturday by climbing . over the fence and crashing . through the turnstile gate to see what the Americans have. j Bearded peasants in the traditional belted tunics jostled pret- * ty girls in modern summer co- » ton dresses to examine electric r blankets and adding machines. . But one smash success was the . Sears Roebuck catalogues which were placed on reading racks ; and attached to the wall. i During a tour of the exhibition i crowded with chattering excited . Russians, three teen-aged girls , were sen pouring over the cata- ; logue pages showing pictures of - brassieres which are not too common in Moscow stores. The catalogues so far have - outdrawn a display of arty and » expensive books in the same sec- - tion. I The Russians have almost a ; schoolboy crush on the Russian- - speaking American guides in the ; exhibition. They are eager to > make friends with the guides as r well as compete with them in i arguments. Sunday crowds of Russians • were packed |en deep outside the > glass pavilion hemming in an i American guide who was enl gaged in a lively debate on eastern European politics. Outside the controversial Amer- ; ican exhibition home, a large ■ crowd watched several Russian women questioning another guide i about the homes of American ; workers, their wages and their i families. The arguments apparently were touched off by stories in the i Soviet press pointing up the theme that America is not as I rosy as the fair and Vice President Richard M. Nixon would have the Russians believe. An exhibition of abstract art at the fair has attracted great attention and at one point so many Russians crowded around an American guide to argue he had to flee to save the paintings from being crushed. The Russians opened refrigerator doors, peered into automatic dishwashers and bounced basketballs. They ogled the modern three-room apartment where a guide was preparing dinner to the strains of “South Pacific.” One Auto Damaged In Accident Here The city police reported a property damage accident at 6:55 p.m. Sunday at Nuttman avenue and 13th street causing SIOO in damage to one of the vehicles. Hie car driven by Fred R. Hoffman, 37, of 922 Line street, sustained the damages when it was struck by the machine driven by Frank Schmitz, 79, of 213 S. First ing north on 13th and was attemptstreet. The Hoffman car was moving a left turn onto Nuttman as the Schmitz car was moving east on Nuttman. The Schmitz car struck the Hoffman vehicle on the left side about midway in the intersection. Decatur Merchants To Lunch At Fair The Decatur merchants will attend a luncheon at the 4-H fair Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. under the auspices of the local Chamber of Commerce. Fred R. Kolter, executive secretary of the group, said the event is an annual occurrence displaying local interest in the county-wide project. If any merchants require transportation to the Monroe fairgrounds, they are invited to meet at the south side of the court house Tuesday at 12:15 p.m., where the Chamber of Commerce will have several cars available for transporting merchants.

Cotuify 4-H Fair Notes

By Barbara Flechter "It seems as if the fair had been » going on a week already!” was one - leader’s comment, after the local ’ judging for girls’ home economics ■ projects was just about over last Friday. Although the fair doesn’t ■ open officially until Tuesday, the 1 week before the fair was almost as I busy as fair week itself for many f of the leaders and exhibitors.. Not ’ only was there the pre-fair judging, . but the grounds had to be prepar- . ed, and exhibit tables set up in the . school buildings, and the tents * erected for exhibits, including a new one for the 4-H horse show. X - S Today, the home economics exhibits are being set up, and the i foods and baking projects are be--1 ing judged for premium awards, s Leaders and exhibitors have been - swarming over the grounds, gets ting the exhibits ready for the pub- * lie’s inspection come Tuesday morning. > _ I ■ Last week at four stations in the county, the local judging took place 1 for the girls’ home improvement, ’ foods, baking, and clothing pro- ! jects. Each club’s work was judged ’ individually, with the judge exam- ’ ining the finished project before 1 the girls therhselves, commenting . on its quality, and giving both com- > pliments and constructive suggesj tions for improvement. Friday, (the . clothing was re-judged for the pre- * mium winners, which the extension office released today. k ! Suspense is the word to describe > what the girls in clothing are still i under—at least those who are in the junior and senior dress revues, to be publicly presented Wednesday at the outdoor stage. (With ' everyone connected with it crossing fingers for good weather for “Patio Party,” the revue.) Friday afternoon and evening, in the practice for the dress revue, they all had to parade before the judge, first on the outdoor stage, and then, for close-up views, inside the Adams Central school. The winners will be announced after the dress revue Wednesday night, so they’ll have to wait until then to find out who will be the county representative at the state fair dress revue. The grounds were mowed this past week before the tents went up Saturday morning. Eli Schwartz was in charge of the mowing, while project leaders and 4-H’ers themselves teamed up to get the tents in place and the equipment inside them in shape. I This noon 4-H leaders and helpers who got together to make final arrangements for the exhibits and for receiving the animals got the > first chance at the food tent’s fare. Food tent workers will be busy sat- : isfying those big appetites for it takes a lot of energy to get this exhibition into shape. So it’s “hi-ho, come to the Fair!”

MONDAY, JULY 27, 1050

for the next three days in Adams i county. It’ll be fun covering the exhibition and announcing the wiaI ners—and through this column peri haps we can take a look at what t goes on at the fair that doesn’t t get into the headlines —the sidek I lights of the big county affair. I > Express Concern On > Deadlocks In Talks l WASHINGTON (UPD — Top federal mediators expressed concern today about apparent dead- ’ locks in copper and aluminum in- ‘ dustry bargaining in the wake of - the nationwide steel strike. A steel wage settlement is usui ally the pattern for contracts cov- ■ ering 58,000 aluminum workers . and about the same number in r copper mines and mills. Lack of any "package” to aim at this year has stalemated negotiations in the aluminum field. • Contracts run out Friday at mid- • night. The three major firms — Alcoa, ' Kaiser and Reynolds Metal—have L lined up solidly in the same "no . raise” position taken earlier by ’ the steel companies. , The United Steelworkers and ’ other unions representing workers in aluminum plants have threatened to strike unless a settlement 1 is reached before the deadline. There seefns to be more chance i of an agrement in the copper talks. The dominant union — the unaffiliated Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers — has extended its ' contract with leading producers 1 on a day-to-day basis. 1 Some observers think the union may settle soon with Kenneeott ■ Copper Co., one of the major i firms, although other wage talks ; seem to be in the doldrums. , Most copper contracts expired June 30. Supplies of steel are high and i could last from 60 to 90 days. Copper and aluminum stockpiles are considered adequate for 30 to 60 days. Extension Office Closed During Fair The county extension office in Decatur, on Court street, will be closed for the three days of the county 4-H fair. The office will be open instead at the 4-H fairgrounds in the Adams Central school, where its telephone number will be 6-6661. It will open again Friday at its Decatur office.
