Go-Cart Maker Says Cars Safe RICHMOND. Ind. (UPI) — An official of a firm which manufactures “go-carts” said today there are about 4,000 of them in use in Indiana. He said there is not much excuse for accidents if safety regulations are observed. David Hoff, treasurer of Hoffco, Inc., of Richmond, made the statements after a flurry of criticism on the heels of two child fatalities involving “go - carts’’ within a 10-day period in Eastern Hoff said “go-carting” is rigidly controlled and supervised through an organization known as the GoCart Club of America, Inc. But apparently not all tracks are affiliated with the dub and observe its rules. Hoff said that in the wake of

the deaths of a 6-year-oid boy at Gas City Aug. 8 and a 13-year-old boy at Muncie three days ago, and criticism by state officials and legislators, a meeting of “go-cart” track owners in Eastern Indiana and possibly Western Ohio will be held tonight in Richmond. Mvtte Police Figures Hoff said Indiana State Police and any other interested officials were invited to familiarize themselves with the sport. 1 Hoff said parents are to blame when young children are permitted to drive the cars and when the cars are driven without proper safety precautions. He said all “go-carts” manufacturers belong to an association. He said the cars are sturdily constructed with safety features. The club rules ban children younger than 8 from riding the cars. They require regulation helmets, safety belts, roll bars and other equipment. One of the victims in the Indiana accidents was wearing a “dime store plastic helmet,” Hoff

■ - ~4-'- "W""’!’* W I p l Jk «i HELD IN CRIMINAL ATTACKS— Three Bullen worthies stand in Chicago, where they are being questioned in cases of girls who were seized and criminally attacked while sitting % in cars with their dates. An 18-year-old student nurse and a 20-year-old laboratory technician identified Fred Oparka (left),' 22, as their attacker. The technician also identified John Cipich (right), 19, as an attacker. Oparka’s brother William, 26, also was accused by the student nurse. George Starcevich (middle), 21, also was arrested for questioning.

said,. The other wore no helmet at all, he added. Hoff said there are 10 classes of “go-cart” engines ranging in horsepower from 2% to 11. There also are four classes of racing, with the youngest group, ages 8 to 11, permitted to drive no faster than 10 miles per hour. But older persons may travel somewhat faster, Hoff said, adding that at a Richmond track the top speed is 45 to 50 m.p.h. but nobody under 21 years old is permitted to drive. 3 Months, No Wrecks Ini three months of racing on the Richmond track, not a single accident occurred, Hoff said. Hoff said tracks affiliated with the club have accident insurance from Lloyds of London. But he said Lloyds cancelled politicos at three Indiana tracks which now are closed until the operators qualify from a safety standpoint to get their insurance back. After the death of Louie Dean Hughes, 13, Muncie, Sunday, Sen. Charles R. Kellum of Mooresville and Rep. Andrew Jacobs Jr. of Indianapolis said they would seek a law in 1961 to make “go-cart” racing illegal in Indiana. Kellum called the cars a “hazrd” that should be banned by legislation or regulation. State Motor Vehicles Commissioner Royden C. Gilbert said license branches have been warned not to issue plates to “go-carts” that fail to meet safety standards. He also said he opposes the cars “on general principles.” Friday Dale Sei Admitting Hawaii WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Eisenhower will formally proclaim Hawaii a state and unveil the design for the new 50star flag at 3 p.m. c.d.t. Friday. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said Tuesday the President would interrupt his Gettysburg, Pa., vacation to return for the proclamation ceremonies at the White House. He said dignitaries invited to the ceremony would include Hawaii’s newly elected U.S. senators and its House member. They can take their seats in Congress as soon as the proclamation is issued. Hagerty said the time for the White House ceremony was set at the request of Hawaiian Gov. William F. Quinn, who will preside over simultaneous ceremonies in Honolulu. 1 The new 50-star flag will not be officially displayed until next July 4.

Exchange Student Too 111 Io Leave Vincinzo Scardillo, 18, Scicilian student who was to have spent this winter in Decatur, has written to Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Heller, his American parents, that he was ill at the time the ship left for America, and was unable to leave. Scardillo expressed a strong desire to be able to visit the United States in the future. American Field Service cancelled his passage here when ne was unable to leave as scheduled. Hopes are dimming that Decatur will receive a foreign exchange student this year. Peter Friederici, of Wiesbaden, Germany, spent the past year with Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Petrie; Ken Eliasson of Goteborg, Sweden, was the first exchange student, having visited here in 1957-58 with Dr. and Mrs. Harry H. Hebble. I o q Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE I o — o Q. At what side of the plate should the napkin be placed when setting the table? A. If you set your table with place plates, the napkin is placed on the plate. If food is on the place plate when the guests are seated, the napkin is put at the left of the plate.. Q. One of my husband’s business associates was our guest for dinner recently, and the day after he sent me some flowers. Should I have written him a “thank you” note? A. Yes. Q. I thanked each guest personally for gifts received at a surprise birthday party in my honor. Am I supposed also to write thankyou notes to these persons? A. This is not necessary. Q. Is it permissible to mail a joint wedding invitation to an engaged couple, or must an individual invitation be sent to each? A. Correctly, an individual invitation is sent to each. However, if you are running short of invitations, you could be forgiven for mailing a joint invitation to this couple. In this case, you address the outer envelope to the girl, “Miss Jane Lyons.” and the inside envelope to “Miss Lyons and Mr. Robert Collins.” Q. When eating a soft-fried egg, is it all right to put a small piece of bread on the end of the fork and use this to dip up the yolk? A. Hiis is quite all right — and practical too. *

Madison Celebrates 150lh Anniversary MADISON. Ind. (UPI) — Madison, once the largest city in Indiana, has recovered sufficiently from being a “centennial city” in a movie starring Frank Sinatra to stage its own real sesquicentennial starting Saturday. The historic Ohio River city, platted in 1809 by a Revolutionary War soldier, Col. John Paul, was named in honor of the man who then was president of the United States, James Madison. From 1842 to 1857 Madison was the biggest city in the state, but long ago dropped out of the top 10. However, the city is putting all its 11,000-strength into the 150th birthday party, which will last for eight days. Hie garb of the early 1800 s has again been brought out. The lovely old homes built between 1813 and 1860, primarily with Baltimore architect Francis Costigan as a guide, are open to the public. It was these houses which led MGM to pick Madison as site for its movie, “Some Came Running” and centered national attention on the normally quiet little city when the Sinatra temperament flared in the Hoosier heat. Sesquicentennial planners anticipate as many visitors as Madison had during its days as a temporary film capital. The opening day program Saturday centers on the river, with a ski show, races, and a parade to meet a raft which has been floating down the Ohio from Lawrenceburg with a cargo of Madison Jaycees aboard. The premier performance of a historical drama by a cast of 600 comes Monday. The spectacle will be repeated nightly for the remainder of the sesquicentennial obsiervance. Madison is one of a relatively few Indiana cities which can put 150 candles on its birthday cake. First settled in 1805, the year the Indians gave the land to the white man’s government, the city was the pork packing center of the Midwest. When famed singer Jenny Lind sang in Madison in
