Indiana Blanketed By Searing Hot Air United Press International A great mass of searing hot air blanketed Indiana from one end to the other today and extended an August heat wave which may go down in history as one of the state's worst. Temperatures rolled slowly back and forth from the muggy 70s at night to the sweltering 90s by day in a familiar pattern now seven days old and expected to stretch through the rest of this week, if not longer. At Indianapolis, the Weather Bureau’s temperature statistics for the first 24 days of the month showed a mean temperature of 76.9 degrees. If the present heat wave continues through the rest

of August, the month will go down as the seventh hottest in 88 years of official records. The heat wave brought short working days for uncounted hundreds of Hoosiers, including about 700 state employes sent home from stifling offices, some of which are not airconditioned and others made uncomfortable by failure of cooling equipment. Power and water utilities reported record or near record consumption of electricity and water all around the state. The heat was blamed for a railroad accident in Ohio which injured two Portland, Ind., men. Rails buckling under a roasting sun derailed seven cars of a Baltimore & Ohio train near Perrysburg, Ohio, Monday. Isolated thundershowers dampened and cooled a few areas. But the relief was brief.

Temperatures crested Monday

at highs including 94 at Evansville. Lafayette and Indianapolis, 95 in the Louisville area, 96 in the Cincinnati area and 91 at Fort Wayne. OvernightJows were in the low and mid 70s. Highs today and Wednesday will be in the mid 90s aU around the state with lows tonight in the lower and middle 70s. The outlook for Thursday was more of the same. Seek Means To Strengthen Hand Os kalians WASHINGTON (UPD — Top Defense and State Department officials today considered new moves to strengthen the Laotian government's hand in suppressing Communist-led rebels. High-level conferences were being held to find ways to lend support to the royal forces. Plans under consideration would limit the additional direct aid to more support through supplies while expanding diplomatic and moral encouragement wherever and whenever possible. One of the possibilities is for the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) to exercise its previously-announced plan to protect the tiny Southeast Asia nation from outside forces. Laos is not actually a member of SEATO. Troops May Be Premature Diplomatic officials believe the introduction of troops now from the outside would be premature since the royal Laotian government is not yet using all pf its own forces of 25,000 men. Authorities recognize that the Communist government of North Viet Nam has violated the 1954 Geneva agreement ending the In-do-China War by increasing the level of military equipment in the hands of Laotiari rebel forces. Viet Nam and Laos ..together with Cambodia, made tsp what was Indo-China. However, the administration was .reported not to be ready at this time to break its part of the agrement by lending military planes or throwing other equipment into the fight. So far, all U. S. help has been of a nonmilitary nature except for aid in training Laotian troops. Seek U. N. Interventoin A more likely possibility is to sipport the Laotian government’s request for United Nations intervention through the establishment of an inspection committe that would focus world attention more clearly on the nature of the Laotian fighting. A special envoy of Laos, Ngon Sananikone, arrived here Monday night from United Nations headquarters in New York City to confer with the State Department on the situation in his country. Senate Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield (Mont.) told the Senate Monday the United Nations should immediately send observers to Laos to get accurate reports. MILWAUKEE (UPD— Five-year-old Patrick and Dennis Mcßride have known ever since they could talk that they were twins. After all, everybody called them “The Twins.”

Union Head Denies Congress Blacklist WASHINGTON (UPD — The director of the AFL-ClO’s political department denied today that he compiles a “blacklist” of congressmen on the basis of their voting records. James L. McDevitt, head of the federation’s Committee on Political Education said, however, that COPE will continue to publish tabulations of how senators and House members vote on key issues. He made the statements in a letter to Rep. John Dent <D-Pa.) printed in the current edition of COPE's Political Memo. The same issue contained the complete House roll-call on initial passage of the Landrum - Griffin labor reform bill. The measure was bitterly condemned by the AFL-CIO as anti-labor. In a preface to the roll-call. COPE disclosed that 16 of the 181 House members endorsed by COPE in last fall’s eelction voted “against labor and for the bill” in the key 229-201 vote. It listed them as Howard Baker (R-Tenn.), Lindley Beckworth <DTex.), Iris Blitch (D-Ga.l, Floyd Breeding <D-Kan.), Daniel Brewster (D-Md.>, Larry Brock (DNeb.), Clarence Cannon (D-Mo), Thomas Downing <D-Va.) Florence Dwyer (R-N.J.), George Fallon (D-MdJ, W.R. Hull (D-Mo.), John Jarman (D-Okla.), Thomas Johnson (D-Md.l, Paul Jones (DMoJ, Richard Lankford <D-Md,) and Thomas Pelly <R-Wash.l. "If 14 of the 16 had voted the other way, the bill would have been killed.” COPE said parenthetically. It said only four of 52 freshman congressmen who had COPE backing—Brewster, Brock. Downing and Johnson —voted for the bill. Dent had written McDevitt to ask about press reports that the AFL-CIO political arm has prepared a “blacklist” on the basis of a Senate vote on tax reform proposals. In his reply, McDevitt said the reports were based on an article in a previous issue of the COPE Newsletter detailing which senators voted in favor of or against proposals designed to close tax loopholes. "T say that this reporting of a vote constitutes a blacklist is the most arrant nonsense,” McDevitt wroe Dent. Push Drive Against Trash Literature INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Strategy for a drive against “trash literature” was outlined by the Governor’s Youth Council Monday. Governor Handley and Richard E. Emery, council chairman, both emphasized that “no one is advocating a witch hunt.” "I have said before and I repeat that censorship is essentially a family problem,” Emery, principal of Indianapolis Wood High School, said. “This is not a special crusade or witch hunt,” Handley added. “But surveys indicate that juvenile delinquency drops when smut magazines are taken off the newsstands. “Taking The Lead” “Indiana is taking the lead in this sort of thing and we have been getting wonderful cooperation from magazine distributors,” the governor said. “The whole program is based on cooperation and is not a crackdown from the viewpoint of arrests.” Emery described the prgram to newsmen as “a high-level, help your government operation.” He said he expected “full cooperation” from each of the state's 92 counties. The proposed operation, termed a “suggested county plan to arouse public opinion into action against trash literature,” was utlined by Emery and Miss Mildred French, council executive secretary, at a news conference in the governor’s office. Outlines Operations Emery said the program would work like this: —The council will enlist the help of individuals, civic organizations, church groups and local PT As. —These persons and organizations will be asked to contact mayors and local officials to press for the appointment of "literature review boards.” —Civic groups will be asked to form volunteer teams to inspect magazine racks. —Newspaper editors will be asked for support. —“Reliable persons” will be asked to ask retail outlets for support. —lnspection teams would report their findings to the “literature review boards.” —The boards would give the distributors in writing reasons why the board had disapproved of any magazines.

West Germany Preparing To Welcome Ike BONN, Germany <UPI) — West German leaders today were preparing a tumultuous welcome for President Eisenhower when he arrives here Wednsday on a visit they hailed as a demonstration of U. S. determination to defend West Germany’s interests in his talks with the Soviet Union. Government officials said the President, who arrives for a 24hour stay, would receive a welcome exceeding the pro-American demonstration that welcomed Sec-' retary of State Christian Hertaon his visit to West Berlin five weeks ago. Eisenhower was the supreme commander of the great Allied force that gave Germany its most disastrous military defeat 14 years ago, but he returns Wednesday as the protector of freedom from Communism in the Western half of the nation. Eisenhower and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer will discuss the problems of dealing with Communism for 6*4 hours, beginning at mid-morning Thursday. The President, arriving the evening before, plans to show hirtiself to huge crowds of West Germans that night and again the following morning before his talks with Adenauer.

Ralph B. Thomas At Meeting For Youth This afternoon young people from six of the major Protestant denominations presented a symposium, •’lnter-Communion,” before the 25th anniversary meeting of the general council of the united Christian youth movement at Lake Geneva, Wis. The meeting, which Ralph B. Thomas is attending as chairman of the Christian witness commission, began with an opening address by John S. Wood Sunday evening at Lake Geneva. It will conclude August 29. Thomas, son of the Rev. and Mrs. Benjamin G. Thomas, 342 South Winchester street, is a student at Wabash college and represented the general youth fellowship of the Evangelical United Brethren church. "A youth generation that can earn and spend over nine billion dollars annually and produce over one hundred thousand rocket experts is surely past the pablum stage,” Wood told the opening assembly. He added, ‘‘a church that would challenge youth to hard decisions in a world of hard realities must learn to speak to them in a language worthy of the cause it has to put before them." Commenting on the task facing Christian youth today, he stated, “A mission is not something you do; more centrally it is something you have. Jesus’ mission was not a check list of tasks he had to perform: it was a mandate he had received that guided and ordered all his life. Therefore the Christian is called to a new relationship . . . if we believe that God is at work in the world today, then the realm of international affairs is the very area in which the mission of the church must be and is being carried out.” Delegates attending the general council shared a growing conviction that there had been too much “project-itis” in their approach to international Affairs. For although they are sometimes helpful, projects are not very effective instruments for world peace if the individual young people involved in them do not understand the principles of the Christian faith that should motivate action in international affairs, commented John Barbour, correspondent for the united Christian youth movement. This afternoon a special plenary session considered "Inter - Communion,” by a panel of young people from six of the major protestant denominations. The study comes as a result of last year’s problem about having communion services in the UCYM conferences, Barbour said. UCYF is the official co-opera-tive agency for the young program of 30 national Protestant and orthodox communions. The movement has steadily grown since it began in 1934, when ten denominations gathered at Lake Geneva. Presently 24 major denominations in the United States and 28 interdenominational state councils are being represented by more than 160 delegates attending the conference.
