Temporary Relief Promised Hoosiers United Pimb International Hoosier hopes for a break in ttie heat wave were given a shot in the arm today. But forecasters said cooler and drier air would be confined chiefly to north and central portions and that it would be only temporary. As one of the hottest Indiana Augusts in 88 years at records neared an end, forecasts called, for a cocrier trend to wash the upper portions of the state late Sunday. The official outlook for Monday was "fair and pleasant" but the weatherman admitted that “may not be as good as it looks.” A cool front moving southward was expected *to weaken considerably by the time it spreads through Hoosteriand. That would mean temperatures would not drop much. But the air would be "a little drier,” the forecasters said, thus reducing discomfort caused by high humidity. Thundershowers activity during the weekend will help hold down temperatures. But by next Wednesday, the warmer and more humid conditions which have featured nearly every day of August’s first 29 days may be back again. Temperatures Friday ranged from 87 at ndianapolis and EKVitf) from 87 at Indianapolis and Evansville to 92 at South Bend. Overnight lows ranged from 69 at LaLE TO &¥< AT South Bend. Oev-r night lows ranged from 69 at Lafayette to 72 at most other points in the state. Showers for the 24 hours ending at 7 a.m. today included .16 of an inch at Evansville, .05 at Indianapolis and .02 at Lafayette. Louisville got 1.15 inches. INDIANA WEATHER Partly cloudy and continued warm and humid today and tonight with scattered showers and thundershowers mostly in afternoon and evening. Sunday partly cloudy with scattered showers and thundershowers, turning cooler in. north and central portions by evening. Low tonight near 76 north, mid 70s south. High Sunday mid 80s north to low 90s south. Outlook for Monday—-Partly cloudy and pleasant.

Reds Mass On Tibet Border

X CALCUTTA, India (UPI) — Several thousand Chinese Communist troops are massed along the southern border of Tibet menacing India, Bhutan and Nepal, i according to reports reaching hpre today. The reports, relayed from Shillong, headquarters for India’s Northeastern Frontier Agency, said the area is tense. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru told a shocked parliament in New Delhi Friday that Chinese Red soldiers had dashed with Indian troops >both in eastern Kashmir and in northeast India in July and August. Government officials said, afterward that as far as was known no Chinese troops were on Indian soil at the moment. Indian security forces in Calcutta today tightened their watch on the city’s two Chinatowns which comprise the largest Chinese population anywhere in In-

Branigan May Enter In Race * For Governor I I FRENCH LICK, Ind. (UPI) — Roger D. Branigin, Lafayette attorney. chilled supporters of Sen. ' Matthew E. Welsh, Vinceprtes, i. front-runner for the 1960 Democratic gubernatorial nomination, i when he appeared unexpectedly at the meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association today. Branigin, who has always beeni a mystery man in gubernatorial! considerations, quickly contacted | leaders from many parts of the state. He said he had not yet decided whether to run for governor. ’But he added that a number of ' party nominees for mayor had expressed dissatisfaction with the early campaigning of Welsh for the 1960 issue before the city election campaign was underway. Both Welsh and State Auditor Albert Steinwedel, Seymour, another active candidate for governor, staged receptions in their headquarters today and Sen. Earl Utterback, Kokomo, announced his candidacy for the nomination for lieutenant governor, a high post which often has led to the governorship. Sen. Vance Harike, Evansville, like Uncle Milty Berle, was in every act at the big party powwow filling in the publicity vacuum at strategic times. Pleads for Purity Hartke, addressing the editors, pleaded for party purity, saying: “Let us have no more hypehated Democrats, liberal - Democrats, conservative - Democrats, southern - Democrats, northern Democrats— or J ones-Democrats or Smith-Democrats. Let us have no more semi-crap. Let us have more Democrats.” A similar stand was taken in resolutions submitted to the editors which urged, in substance, the end of the tweedle - dum, tweedledee position of the Democrats and Republicans. The resolutions said the nomination of President Eisenhower by the Republicans was the beginning of the end for what the Republican party has traditionally stood.

dia. The British - owned newspaper “The Statesman" said Chinese troops were concentrated at mountain passes along the southern Tibetan border. The Indian newspaper Amrita Bazar Patrika carried a similar report. Nehru told Parliament that Indian border guards, outnumbered and outfought ip several clashes with Chinese troops, were being replaced by regular army men. ' The newspaper Hindustan Standard reported that the Chinese troops were equipped with modern weapons. “The situatton/is fact developing into an explosive one," it said. The prime minister of Bhutan, Jigme Dorges, told newsmen he “heartily welcomed” Nehru’s assurance that India would come to Bhutan’s aid in event of aggression. 1

I Bloodmobile Unit In Decafur Tuesday At least 17 more persons are needed to make appointments to donate blood at the bloodmobile next Tuesday if Decatur is to meet its quota of 125 pints.

Nation's Highway Death Toll Mounts CHICAGO (UPI) — The nation’s traffic death toll rose in July for the seventh straight month, but the mileage fatality rate was still the lowest on record, the National Safety Council said today J The July highway record showed 3,340 deaths, the council said. This was a 4 per cent jump over the 3-210 deaths reported in July of 1958. The July fatalities raised the death toll for the first seven months of 1959 to 20,430 —a 5 per cent increase over the 19,490 killed by July 31 last year. But the mileage fatality rate for 1959 stood at 5.1 deaths per each 100 million miles of travel — the same as last year and the lowest rate on record. The council said this was due to the 5 per cent rise in auto traffic over the first seven months of last year. The traffic death count has dropped this year in 15 states, the council said. Louisiana has cut its fatalities by 23 per cent, followed by Maine, down 15 per cent, and Minnesota, South Dakota and Alaska, all down 14 per cent. Rochester, N. Y., led major cities with a 69 per cent increase in auto deaths. Norfolk, Va., reported a 50 per cent drop, Toledo, Ohio, 40 per cent, and Jacksonville, Fla. 38 per cent. Lincoln, Neb., Peoria, HL, and East Orange,'N.J., were the largest of 247 cities posting a fatalityfree record this year.

Charges GOP With Politics On labor Bill WASHINGTON (UPI)—A House Democrat charged today that a Republican move to force a showdown in the Senate on the deadlocked labor reform bill was “dictated by politics.” Rep. Frank Thompson Jr. (DN.J.) criticized GOP senators for breaking off negotiations in the joint House - Senate Conference Committee Friday. - Thompson, a member of the conference, told United Press In- , temational he was “not impressed at all by the sincerity” of the move by Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen (Ill.). “It is absurd to quit when you’re 99 per cent finished, but politics dictated this,” he said. Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) who supports the House bill, said the GOP senators decided to force a showdown because of “dilatory practices” in the conference. He predicted the vote between the rival Dirksen and Kennedy resolutions would be very close. But, he said, "I can't believe I these senators can withstand the pressure from home” and vote against the House bill. Dirksen introduced a resolution in the Senate Friday night urg- [ ing it to instruct its conferees to ■ accept three disputed points i in the House - passed Landrum- . Griffin bill. t NOON EDITION

CHEQUERS, England (UPI) — President Eisenhower and. Prime Minister Harold Macmillan sealed, themselves off for a weekend of top-secret talks todfty that may lead to their calling for a new Big Four foreign ministers conference before a summit meeting. The two leaders closed themselves in complete privacy behind the high walls of Chequers, a medieval red brick mansion set in the rolling chittem hills 40 miles northwest of London. Earlier today the President ended a brief overnight visit with the British royal family at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The President was expected to urge another Big Four foreign ministers meeting before a summit conference. Highly qualified sources said Macmillan would go along with the idea. Queen s Chauffeur Eisehhower’s Disit to Scotland was a typical family occasion. Queen Elizabeth herself acted as the President’s chauffeur in a picnic drive Friday. This morning Eisenhower posed with the royal family for photographs on the Balmoral Castle lawns. At the end of the visit the Queen’s chi Idr e n. Prince Charles and Princess Anne, were addressing the President as "Uncle Ike.” Accompanied by Prince Philip, the President drove to Dyce Airport at” Aberdeen and flew in a Royal Air Force jet to Benson Air Field, near London, where Macmillan met him. Then the two drove to Chequers. U.S. Secretary State Christian Herter and British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, who did the groundwork for the discussion, were joining them along with a small group of other officials. The talks continue this evening and Sunday afternoon. In London Monday Monday morning Eisenhower and Macmillan will return to London together. The President rose early at Balmoral Castle in Scotland to say goodbye to Queen Elizabeth and thank her for her warm and gracious hospitality. He posed with the royal family for photographers for 10 minutes on the castle lawn and then set out by car with Prince Philip, the Queen’s husband, for Aberdeen Airport. “ A bitter cold east wind blew over the Scottish Highlands and there was a heavy overcast. Greeted Along Way About 70 hardy Scots braved the weather to watch Eisenhower leave Balmoral. Several thousand waved at him along the road to Aberdeen and a few hundred more greeted him with a

Public Works Bill Is Vetoed

WASHINGTON (UPD-Congress may be on the verge of enacting a law over President Eisenhower’s veto for the first time since he entered the White House more than years ago. Democratic congressional leaders said today they thought there was an excellent chance Congress would override Eisenhower’s veto of a 91,206,784.549 public works appropriation bill. His veto, announced by the White House Friday, stun n e d members of both parties. Speaker Sam Rayburn immediately announced the House would act on it Wednesday and said “We have a good chance to pass this one over his veto.” If so it would be the first time’ that has happened to Eisenhower. His record almost suffered its first blemish this spring on a vetoed bill to strip Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson of powers over Rural Electrification Administration loans. The attempt to override that veto succeeded in the Senate but fell shy by four votes in the house —largely because Republicans were able to rally their forces on grounds the measure was a slap at a cabinet member and party loyalty was involved. .* *. But the public works bill cuts across party lines. Often criticized

cheer at the airport. - The President smiled broadly •aS the maroon royal Dain> ler pulled ‘through Balmoral’s gates for the 50-mile drive to Aberdeen’s airport. Prince Philip sat next to him. Eisenhower was six minutes, behind schedule. He had spent a little longer than he had anticipated on the front lawn with the royal family and the four American photographers and one British newsman allowed in. Took Princess’ Hand While strolling across the castle lawn toward the photographers, the President took Princess Anne’s hand in his. He smiled, looked down at her and said, “Are you going to learn to cook?” The 9-y ear-old princess flashed back a smile and quipped. “I will send you some samples.” Anne, Prince Charles and Princess Margaret all wore tartan kilts. The Queen wore a lemoncolored wool dress. Prince Philip and the President wore dark suits. f Princess Margaret took some pictures with her own camera. The President shook hands solemnly with each member of the family before he got into the car. He spoke rapidly—and privately—to the queen for a few moments as he pumped her hand gently but warmly. Nuclear Subs Soon For Many Nationst -- ' -« • — I WASHINGTON (UPD—A scien- , tific group has warned that many i nations soon will be able to build > nuclear submarines which could I launch “a devastating missile attack against cities hundreds and even thousands of miles from the ■ seacoast.” “The probability will become ; steadily greater in the future,” j the scientists said, “that an inL ternational mischief-maker will be [ able with impunity to initiate a nuclear holocaust.” In all likelihood, they said, the attacking submarine would es- ’ cape without even being identified, and the attacked nation 1 would not know who hit it. The warning was issued by the committee on Oceanography of the National Academy of Sciences in a report on international cooperation at sea. The report, just distributed, said “nations must find some way to live with the new threat of nuclear - powered submarines armed with long’ range Weapons”

i as a “pork barrel” measure, it ' carries money for navigation, ! flood control and reclamation > spending in every state—and in > most congressional districts. Eisenhower, in his message to ■ the House, said he vetoed the • meaure becaue it carried fund ! for startg 7 ew be wor > for starting 67 new public works • projects in the year that began July 1. He said this ignored the • need for “orderly development” I of water resources within the na- ■ tion’s fiscal ability. While the bill called for total i spending this year only 3 per cent ■ higher than Eisenhower proposed, the President said that over the years it would call for a “tremendous expansion” in government spending. Rep. Ben F. Jensen (R - Iowa), ranking Republican on the House appropriations subcommittee which drafted the bill, pointed out that no fewer than 243 congressmen testified in behalf of various projects before his subcommittee. It takes a two-thirds vote of both the Senate and House to pass a law over a veto. There are 283 House Democrats and 153 Republicans. If al members voted and there were no party defections, Democrats would fall nine votes short of overriding.
