puff” regatta to be stall'd Aug. 15-16 at Geist Reservoir north of Indianapolis, but the men have a motive in letting the fair sex sail their boats. Robert Zaiser, chairman of the regatta, to be sponsored by the Indianapolis Sailing Club, innocently let out the truth when he 'explained: "If the wives are interested in l

• sailing and boating, then the hus- • bands can go." • (Zaiser said he borrowed the ■ "powder puff” term from the annual competition for women pilots. "This is the first powder puff regatta” he said. “After this one is over we ought to know more about how to run one. We want | to have one for the children later.

--—-■ - . • i THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DfcCATUR, INDIANA

The idea is to get the whole family out on the water.” Zaiser said all ages of females, from grade school pupils to grandmothers, will compete in the two events. The women are to be at the helms, but they can take along men for crew members if they wish. At least 25 women skippers are expected to enter the regatta. Admirers of the beloved ballad. “I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen,” have an Indiana mecca of which few are aware. It is a monument erected on the grounds of the Indiana Boys’ School at Plainfield. A plaque on the face of the stone marker pays tribute to Thomas Paine Westendorf, who wrote the famous song while he worked as a music instructor at the Boys' School. Sutp. James E. McCart calls attention to Kathleen’s obvious dissatisfaction with Indiana in a newly prepared booklet explaining the correctional school. The publication. “Building Men by Mending Boys” was prepared by boys in the school’s print shop. The director of the 37th Indiana State Fair Girls’ School of Home Economics knows more about the problems of her students than the girls may suspect. Mrs. Charles Sohl, Noblesville, who again was named to direct the annual school held during the Indiana State Fair, is a former 4-H girl and rural farm leader. The school opens Aug. 31 and runs to Sept. 9 with three girls from each county eligible to attend. Girls must be 16 to 21 years of age. A staff of instructors under Mrs. Sohl gives lectures and demonstrations on homemaking. But the girls also get an interesting share in the activities of the State Fair itself in addition to going to clases. Editors To Watch Butler Maneuvers By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The maneuvers of National Chairman Paul M. Butler during a meeting this month on the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association will be observed closely by all Hoosier party leaders and candidates. Butler has told party chiefs that he will be in French Lick for the association’s gathering, Aug. 2829. He will come fortified by the state committee’s recent resolution endorsing him in his criticism of Democratic leaders in Congress. Friends of Butler have predicted that he will try to block the booming candidacy of Sen. Matthew E. Welsh of Vincennes for the gubernatorial nomination. Welsh is being championed by Butler's arch enemies in the party, former National Chairman Frank E. McKinney and Frank M. McHale, who was ousted by Butler as Indiana national committeeman, a post retained by Butler during the many years of his national chairmanship. Should Determine Candidate “You can’t beat somebody with nobody,” is a political truism, and the politicos are wondering who will be Butler’s candidate for head of the Statehouse. The names of Secretary of State John R. Walsh of Anderson, Sen. Marshall Kizer of Plymouth and State Auditor Albert A. Steinwedel of Seymour have been mentioned. Walsh’s liberal views are perhaps nearest of the three to those of Butler and the secretary of state became the first important Hoosier Democrat to sanction the national chairman’s criticism of the congressional leadership. But Walsh has told lieutenants that he would prefer to run for senator in 1962. Kizer, a close 3rd District associate of Butler, was reported to have had the national chairman’s nod in his unsuccessful battle against Sen. Vance Hartke in the 1958 Democratic state convention. Steinwedel Has Hopes Steinwedel has talked with Butler and has professed encouragement. The Steinwedel aides maintain that he is conservative only in advocating economy in government and lower taxes and is in accord with Butler’s liberal views.

Money Scarce For Humphrey Backing By WILLIAM THEIS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — From the presidential training’camp of Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (DMinn.) comes word that must sound familiar to Treasury Secretary Bob' Anderson: Money is hard to find. And the skeletonized Humphrey-for-p resident organization is afraid dollars will stay scarce as long as Adlai E. Stevenson remains in the picture as a possible Democratic contender. The Minnesotan’s backers find some past Stevenson supporters unwilling to get financially committed to anyone else until they know for sure that twice - beaten Adlai is not going to try again. As a result the Humphrey team is a volunteer band. Minnesota Lieut. Gov. Karl Rollvaag and others working to stir up support for Humphrey are on no campaign payroll. It’s just as well since their man has not yet formally "announced” he’s running. Money is no minor political problem—although most of the 1960 presidential prospects might find it easier to come by than Humphrey. Need “Little Buck” Both Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Republican Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, millionaires in their own right, can take care of their own political-financial needs. And in a pinch perhaps those of others. The Democratic and Republican national finance chairmen might breathe easier if Kennedy and Rockefeller headed their respective 1960 tickets. Vice President Richard M. Nixon on the Republican side, and Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson on the Democratic, certainly could tap richer individual campaign veins than Humphrey. Both have strong appeal in conservative quarters. The same no doubt could be said of Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), a former successful businessman. Humphrey’s hope would be for an edge in dollar support for laboring men. Although Rockefeller and Kennedy advocates think both have worn off the political handicap of great wealth, there is some magic in needing the “little buck.” Campaign strategists of the major parties have tried to make this basic in their finance planning. The theory is that if you get a person’s dollar, you probably have his vote. Both parties now use the SIOO---plate dinner device when they want to raise big money fast. But the Republicans have employed the $1 “chicken box supper” effectively to stir grass - roots interest. TV Costs Money The trouble is that $1 bills disappear pretty fast in a presidential campaign. Modem - day network television gobbles it up at a rate of about $75,000-585,000 per half-hour. That’s not counting the costs involved in paying for entertainment that may be displaced on a prime evening spot. The Democrats’ three - network TV campaign opener in 1956, for example, cost a cool $225,000. And it had to be paid in cash 48 hours in advance of air time. Democrats remember with a little fiscal chill how President Truman almost didn’t get on one 1 1948 telecast for lack of cash. The dollar “count-down” ended with ■ just three hours to spare when ■ the needed money was scraped : up. Just getting around the country 1 to make campaign speeches is ! rough on a $22,500-a-year senator • who lacks private income. Once ’ he has “announced” as a candi--1 date he finds the speaking en-
