Steffe Republicans Express Confidence By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS <UPI> — Although the Indiana Republican ;party suffers from its usual faci tionalism, headquarters leaders say they are confident that the GOP will stage a comeback in the municipal elections this fall and }in the general election next year. They base their contention partly on statistics disclosing that Indiana has gone Republican most-j I ly during the past 40 years. These i figures have been compiled by L.S. Bowman, former state audi-[ , tor and retired director of re- j i search for the Republican State ’ j Committee, who is 92 yeas young , ibut totally blind. i I Despite the Democratic land-[ (slide last fall of nearly a quarter iof a million votes majority, the headquarters bigwigs are hoping | that history will repeat itself. The recapitulation show's that during the past 40 years Indiana cast its electoral vote for 8 Re-; | publicans and 2 Democrats for: ; president, 80 per cent GOP: j elects fl 2 Republicans and 5 j Democrats to the U. S. Senate,' 70 percent GOP. and chose 6 Re-1 publicans and 4 Democrats for' governor, 60 per cent Republican.GOP Average 70 Per Cent | TheO|eneral average for the i jperiod was-70 per cent GOP...At; i present, the Democrats have near-| i ly 75 per cent of the Indiana city ihalls. United States senator and I a substantial lead in county and township offices. Most of the GOP hopefuls for, 1960 say they would be glad to ; run in a presidential year because Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only Democrat to capture the I state in 40 years. He won in InIdiana in 1932 and in 193 fr 1 Governor Handley. Lt. Gov. | Parker, the present head man for j theigmbernatorial nomination, and j‘stare®rhairman Robert W. MatI thews believe that Vice President •> Richard M. Nixon, as a presidenj tial nominee, would be the Moses to lead them out of the political .wilderness. They can use the ; powerful Statehouse patronage and the state organization for Nixon. Sen. Homer E. Capehart favors New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller as the GOP presidential bidder ' on the theory that he might be a more magnetic and glamorous nominee than Nixon. A number of Hoosier GOP anti-Statehouse leaders have been called to confer with Rockefeller in New York, 'although he has not formally announced for president. Choices Uncertain The positions of two other party chiefs, former Sen. William E.

Jenner and Rep- Charles A. Halleck. arc rather nebulous to date., Halleck's stand probably will be affected by his own desire for the 1960 vice-presidential tionNixon, at Rochester last week, dodged two questions important to Hoosiers. One was whether ■ Halleck would be acceptable as 1 his running mate and the other ■ was whether Nixon would enter ! the Indiana presidential preferen- ' tial primary. The odds are that Nixon won’t 1 answer the first question until the I last day of the GOP national con- ' vention. but that the second question may receive a reply within (the next few months.

Janel Gaynor In First Stage Role By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK <UPl)Janet Gay- ! nor began rehearsal this week for I her first stage role, convinced ! that work is the best remedy for I grief. I The actress’ husband of 20 i years, Gilbert Adrian, designer , and artist, died in Hollywood I Sept. 13 of a heart ailfnent. Miss Gaynor already had come east to begin work in Joseph Hayes’ new I drama. “The Midnight Sun,” in J which she will play the role of the ' j mother of three grown children. > The play is scheduled to open on • I Broadway Dec. 9. ’ Adrian was to follow her in a few weeks, to do costumes both for her and for a new LernerLoewe production. • “He felt that I hadn’t done ■ much acting in recent years and 1 that I might enjoy the stage.” ‘ she said in the first interview she 1 has given since hjs-jjeath. ' “He got his staff in the theater, I you know . . . and he was so much • a part of it. he encouraged me. ’ We thought we could have a won1 derful winter in the east. We have ; so many friends here ’ “I don’t want to sound psychic or anything like that. But it r sems as if things were planned 2 ... that here I am and that I ’ have something to do. r “Everyone has been wonderful. 2 I’ve had letters, hundreds of them from all over the world. I'm try- ' ing to answer all of them... if helps keep me busy.” The actress revealed that her husband had a heart attack eight ’ years ago and his doctors ordered him to give up his business—the - | designer for many years had • costumed the top stars at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and had his own custom design studio. Janet Gaynor, at 52, has the same trim and tiny figure, heartshaped face and catch in her voice which helped her to stardom in the late 1920 s and kept her top box office through the 30s. She retired shortly after her marriage because “I wanted to take time out for living.” She and Adrian have one son, Robin, 19, who has completed two years at Stanford University and is abroad for a year’s study at Grenoble, in France.

Duck's Death Ended Rare Animal Study By EVERETT R. IRWIN United Press International CHICAGO (UPD —A psychologist said today an opportunity for a rare study in animal behavior died with Hermann, a duck that took up the ways of a dog and was killed while chasing and “barking” at a car. Hermann was a phenomenon worthy of study, Dr. Theodore Schaefer of the University of Chicago said, because he was well along in a duck’s life before he decided be wanted to be a dog or began to believe he was one. Because of Hermann’s prematur death under the wheels of an automobile last month, Schaefer said, scintists win never kpow whether he might have been persuaded to be just plain fowl again. Hermann, the dog-like duck, lived on the farm of Alvin Schneider near Oldham, S.D. For the first year of his life he was like any other drake. He quacked around the barnlot, gloried in rain and puddles of water and romanced a female of his speceisBehaved Like Dog When Hermann's mate died, he attached himself to Schneider’s dog, Tony. Me followed the dog everywhere, even after the annoyed pooch growled menacingly and seized the duck’s head in his mouth as if to end the one-sided friendship then and there. Gradually, Hermann began to behave like Tony. When the dog chased cars, Hermann waddled madly after them, too. When the dog barked, Hermann tried to bark. When rain came down, Hermann huddled under shelter with Tony instead of enjoying the downpour. When Tony slept by day and roamed the farm by night, Hermann followed suit. The duck ignored other fowl on the farm. Schaefer, attracted by a United Press International story about Hermann, went to the Schneider farm to see the duck while he was visiting in South Dakota recently. He spent several hours observing Hermann. Did Dog’s Death Schaefer said he was interested because Dr. Eckhard H. Hess, one of his faculty colleagues at the University of Chicago, is a leading investigator of the phenomena of imprinting. In imprinting, an animal or fowl—usually a duckling or chick —is exposed to an animate or inanimate object early in life, usually during the first few hours after* birth. It becomes attached to the object, follows it around and "apes” it like a normal newborn animal or fowl takes after j its mother.

It is fairly common, Schaefer said, for young animals to attach themselves to other animals or humans but “quite rare” for them to form such an attachment after they have reached adult life. Schaefer said his investigation indicated Hermann had had no direct exposure to a dog at birth and showed no inclination to live a dog’s life until after his mate died. The psychologist said Mr- and Mrs. Schneider had promised to try to mate Hermann with another female duck to see if he would desert the dog’s life for the ways of his own kind. But Hermann died a dog’s death before he could be trained to be a duck again.

Friendly Visiting Training Is Opened By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS IUPI) — Sixtysix women today began training formally for something most men think they do naturally. The women—and four men —are enrolled in a training course for friendly visiting which will continue through Oct. 20. Mrs. Martha F. Wieland, director of the volunteer bureau of the Marion County Health and Welfare Council, explained that this visiting is just a little more complicated than trading recipes over the back fence. The council is supervising the training course for volunteers who will visit shut-ins, ranging from handicapped children to blind old-

This first class of “friendly visitors” will serve in Marion and Hendricks Counties but later courses may be held for other counties"Actually, this is just being a friend,” Mrs. Wieland explained. “But our world has become too complicated. We have become wary of being friendly to strangers. And it is a little difficult to approach an elderly and ill stranger.” The volunteers include a number of newly retired persons in addition to ciub and church women and housewives, Mrs. Wieland said. “It is not enough just to be willing to visit,” she explained. “We need the sort of person who can maintaiif a friendly relationship but 1 not get involved personally.” Mrs. John M.

Road noises and road shocks are dampened. Even the sound of the wind is hushed. We doubt if any car at any price has ever ridden or handled as well as this new low-price automobile. Practical Stabilizer Design, incorporating rear stabilizer fins, adds stability on the road, cuts wind resistance, gives better gas mileage.

She worked for the social service department of the Indianapolis public schools, the Family Service Association, and the Red Cross before her marriage. “There are an awful lot of people who are very much alone,” Mrs. Moore said. “We will suggest that the visitor create a give-and-take friendship. Where possible, encourage participation in community activities or give the person a small job to do for you or your church group ” When the members of the first class of friendly visitors complete their training they will be assigned to one of the agencies cooperating in the project. Staff members of these agencies already have names and addresses of persons they think need a friendly visitor who will call upon them regularly.
