(UPD — An Indianapolis truck driver whose testimony at a speeding trial last month won him acquittal was jailed today on a charge of perjury. Robert Cable, 39, driver for Eastern Express, Inc., was in Delaware County jail facing charges filed Thursday by Prosecutor Gene Williams. Police said the charges were filed when Cable s employers revealed that a tachometer chart used to record speed on a 1958 trip during which Cable was arrested on Indi. 67 near Muncie had never been out of the company s possession. Cable’s attorney introduced a tachometer chart in his trial at Muncie purporting to prove that Cable never drove more than 46 miles per hour in Indiana during the trip and could not have been traveling 59 as Indiana State Police Trooper Jack Jarrett, who arrested him, testified. On the basis of the tachometer chart evidence, the judge acquitted Cable on grounds of reasonable doubt as to his guilt. State police said Cable's employers cooperated in their continued investigation of the case and furnished actual records from Cable’s truck which they said had not been made available for his trial.

Promise Speedup In Space Exploration WASHINGTON (UPD — The nation’s space agency promised a "considerable” speedup in outer space exploration today, and indicated it will ask congress for more money early next year. Richard E. Horner, associate (director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, ! made the statements at a news conference called to discuss the transfer of the Army’s space team, headed by Dr. Warner von Braun, to NASA. Honer and Dr. Herbert F. York, Defense Department director of research and engineering, J discussed President Eisenhower's ( order to put the Huntsville, team under the civilian agency's . control. York said flatly that in , his opinion this "should have been done a year ago ” The Army resisted NASA’s efforts a year ago to take over the famed team, which put America’s first satellites in orbit around the earth and around the sun. At that - time President Eisenhower sup-; ported the Army. While Horner and York pre-' dieted a speedup in the space effort, they made it clear that | development of the nation’s larg-1 (est super-booster rocket will con- ; i tinue for another four or five' . months under divided authority of j NASA and the Defense Depart- i , ment. That is because the plan must, go to Congress in January and | goes into effect only if Congress . does not veto it within 60 days., Horner said it was “almost obvious that we are considering a supplemental” appropriation. He said Congress authorized 30 mil-. lion dollars more for NASA than it actually appropriated in the' last session and NASA might ask for that much.

1. We have a one week general dean*up collection of trash and rubbish during the spring and fail. In addition to this, we now have a trash collection once a month instead of just twice yearly. We have improved the garbage collection—Ask any housewife! 2. We saved the people of Decatur a quarter of a million dollars ($250,000) by being the first city in Indiana to apply for Federal aid in the cost of construction of the state mandated sewage disposal plant. 3. We have abolished all secret council -meetings and during the past four years there have been no secret or undercover meetings of the city council. 4. We have built 15 blocks of city streets and resurfaced 199 blocks. NEVER before has so much street improvement been made. We have put into effect a definite snow removal program.

■\W ’' 5. We have eliminated the water shortage. We now have ample water to develop industrial interest and assure growth and expansion of Decatur. We are now constructing a 12" water line acroks the river thereby creating a larger supply of water for future Decatur citizens and, additional protection in case of a large fire. 6. We have eliminated waste and increased the efficiency of all departments of your city government. 7. We hove established a friendly relationship with industry and have created a program for the future development of Decatur. 8. We have developed an efficient city government. Average yearly civil city tax rate for the last 4 years of the Republican Administration $1.51. Average yearly civil city tax rate during the past 4 years of DEMOCRATIC Administration $1.39. YOU have paid less tax even though city employee salaries and all other expenses have greatly increased. You have received more new streets, better garbage and trash collection as well as many more additional services. Few if any business or industries can show a record of INCREASED SERVICE at NO increase in price. ■K
