Urges Preparation For Judgment Day INDIANAPOLIS <UPD - Evangelist Billy Graham said Wednes- , day night that when some men “stand alone before God” they will hear Him say “I never knew you." Graham told an audience of 13,000 that on “the great Judgment Day . the books will be opened. Every time you lied, cheated, had a lustful thought—all of that will be revealed at the judgment and nothing will be left out “Many will say ‘Lord, have we not done good wonderful works in thy name’,” Graham said. I "Tnachnrs, preachers and evangelists W|D be there, and to some he will say ‘I never knew you’.” At noon today, Graham will conduct a 25-minute i service on the steps of the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors MonumegA in the circular i heart of Indiariapplis. About 300 pfcrkons answered Graham’s appeal to “make decisions for Christ," raising the total crusade total to nearly 7.000. Graham asked the audience to prepare for Judgment Day. “The time of your death is already known in heaven.” he said. But he said there is another death besides physical death, and that is spiritual death. “We are all dead in trespasses and sin. Some of you go to church Sunday morning, but you are not alive and aware ■Of what is goinb on. You make a few deals, visit with your friends, but you are ‘dead toward God’.” “You will never be happy until you have spiritual life. Christ gives you eternal life, and a whole new world opens up to you when you give your life to Christ. “All who have never repented of their sins, the throne of God’s judgment is now being prepared. You will be brought along and you will stand alone before God. For those whose names are not written in the Book of Life, they will be cast into Hell.” Americans Pay $568 In Tax Per Capita WASHINGTON <UPD — Americans paid $98,400,000,000 in federal state and local taxes in 1958, or about $568 for each man, woman I and child.

Victory Bar Closed Wednesday Afternoon The Victory Bar, managed by Glenn Rambo for the past three months, has been closed by the corporation owning it, effective Wednesday afternoon, it was learned here today. Rambo was informed Wednesday that the bar would be closed. It was not announced whether or not it would be sold. ‘ , Balloon Rockets To 240-Mile Altitude WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. <UPD — American scientists late Wednesday rocketed a 100-foot alum-inum-coated balloon to an altitude of 240 miles over the Atlantic Ocean. The launching touched off “flying saucer” reports from Boston to Florida. The balloon was ..lunched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in a series of experiments the government hopes will lead to placing a similar balloon in orbit around the earth. The space agency said the experiment achieved its aim of testing the vehicle's ejection and inflation machinery. Data on its performance was radioed back to earth. The balloon was not meant to go into orbit. The two-stage launching rocket, producing 130,000 pounds of thrust, produced a bright vapor trail in the evening sky which contributed to the wide visibility. Continue Probe Os Socialite's Death GENOA CITY. Wis. (UPD—Authorities probing the mysterious gas death of Mrs. Virginia Krafft Dore held a secret, unexplained meeting Wednesday night. The conference broke up in the early morning hours, but neither Coroner Edward J. Wavro or Sheiff Frank Hughes would comment on the talks. The meeting followed Wavro’s statement Wednesday that “somebody definitely is not telling the truth” about circumstances surrounding the wealthy socialite's carbon monoxide death last Saturday in her plush home on Honey Bear Farm, a resort near here. Wavro said his investigators had uncovered several discrepancies and “conflicting stoies” concerning the last hours of Mrs. Dore’s life. Several persons are to be requestioned, the coroner said, in an effort to learn whether the 39-year-old bride died accidentally or by her own hand. Murder definitely has been ruled out. he said. Presumably among those slated for further interrogation are Mrs. Julia Krafft, former Chicago candy magnate an d Mrs. Dore’s mother; Francis Dore, 38, the dead woman’s husband of seven weeks; Henry Wasilewski, 44, a former chef at Honey Bear, and Mrs Janice Nelson, a Honey Bear employe and close friend of Mrs. Dore.
Congregation Dinner At Trinity Church The fall congregational dinner of the Trinity Evangelical United Brethren church was held recently at the church fellowship hall, which was appropriately decorated with autumn leaves and other fall decorations. Guests were welcomed by a committee headed by Mrs. Glenn Hill, and dinner was prepared under the supervision of Mrs. Ralph Stevens and Mrs. Herman Sautbine, with young people of the church serving. The invocation was given by Clifford Hoverman, followed by a welcome from Max Gilpin. The Rev. J. O. Penrod, pastor, led an informative discussion outlining the outreaching program of the church for the ensuing year. A pageant of the church was presented, stressing the importance of the church membership from the smallest baby to the oldest person. Slides of the various departments and their activities concluded the evening. Democratic State Chairman Sees Win INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Demoi cratic state chairman Charles E, Skillen said today his party will win the Indiana municipal elections next Tuesday and that it will ■ be “the stepping stone to victory . in 1960.” “We have the will of the majority of the nation behind us and our only chance to lose the victory lies with our inability to get out the vote,” Skillen said in a prepared statement. To get out the vote, Skillen asked “each dedicated Democrat’’ to "accept the responsibility of getting five other Democrats to the polls.” “We must form a walkathontalkathon to remind the citizens 1 that it was the Republican Party that delivered to us the most ex- < pensive and most useless govern- 1 ment in our history.” 1 Skillen said Democrats should < “lay at the feet of the Republican Party” the blame for new interest < rates and discounts on mortgages, i increasing unemployment, “mis- ' use” of the Taft-Hartley Law 1 against unions, lack of proper 1 school facilities, “even our failing i foreign policy.” Skillen said under Republicans consumer goods cost more than ever before, there was “complete failure” in expansion of military strength, “we have lived under j the constant threat of war,” ( breadlines were reborn, the fed- < eral debt grew, and millions were t “driven off the farms.” “Compare this record with the i sound, stable, solid growth of your < town government during the last i four years,” Skillen said. “Indi- < ana’s towns and cities have seen taxes raised far less percentage- j wise than in any other state in ( the union.” 1 . < Antibiotics were first made ! available for clinical use in the United States in 1940 when peni- 1 cillin was produced commercially, j i Robert Fulton built a subma- i rine which he called the Nautilus. 1
Report New Tension Created In Iraq BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPD-Jor-dan and the United Arab Republic have massed their armies along the border with Iraq in precaution against a Communist attempt to seize total power in Baghdad, diplomatic sources reported today. The reports created new tension in Iraq. Premier Abdel Karim Kassem castigated Jordan’s King Hussein and warned that Iraq was strong enough to crush any aggressor and that it has the most powerful army in the Mideast. One minor border incident already has been reported here—the seizure of an Iraqi army jeep which crossed the border into Jordan while chasing fleeing Iraqis. The jeep and its four occupants were held by Jordanian authorities. The feeling throughout the Middle East was that “something” was about to happen in Iraq where Premier Kassem was mowed down last month by machinegun bullets from an attempted killer. He was still recovering in a Baghdad hospital. <The most cautious appraisal of the situation came from Jerusalem, Israel, where Arab affairs analysts said they were skeptical of rumors of an impending Jordanian invasion of Iraq. (Jerusalem observers said if troops really were massing on the Iraqi, Syrian and Jordan borders they were more likely to be used to frighten Israel than to fight each other.) Big Truck Upsets, Traffic Is Blocked I LOGANSPORT, Ind. (UPD—A big truck loaded with 18 tons of empty flower pots overturned on a bridge today, blocking traffic on U.S. 24 for four hours and causing $25,000 damage. Lowell Yoas, 24. Newport, Mich, was driving the van over a bridge spanning the Wabash Railroad tracks six miles east of here when a front wheel dropped off and bounced to the railroad tracks, causing the truck and trailer to overturn. One-way traffic was restored four hours later. The bridge was damaged considerably and portions will have to be rebuilt, officials said, although it was not endangered. The New Waverly fire department was called because of the danger of flames from 45 gallons of gasoline in the truck tank. Cancer Prevention Study Is Planned CHICAGO (UPD — A six-year cancer prevention study—the largest statistical project in cancer research history—may yield vital clues to causes of the malignancy, the American Cancer Society said Wednesday. A half-million American families —or more than a million persons —will be studied and more than $300,000 will be spent before the project report is issued in 1965, the ACS said in its magazine, Cancer News That report is expected to open new vistas to cancer prevention by pinpointing causes previously unnoticed in smaller surveys. About 70,000 volunteers will question families from coast to coast about their living habits, occupations, incomes, diet, heredity and illnesses. Specific questions will probe the relation of cancer to breastfeeding, cigarette smoking and air pollution. Every person over 30 years old in the families will be asked to fill out a confidential questionaire. These "questionaires will be corelated to cancer cases in the family in an effort to spot causes. Cancer News said. Cancer News said the study will concentrate on both rural and urban areas in 21 states selected as representing a valid cross-section of American life. These states include Arizona. California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi. Missouri, Nebraska. New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. RESUME STEEL Continued from page one ment had asked the Supreme Court for an earlier deadline because “there is a pressing need” to settle the injunction dispute. The union opposed the government claim and said a delay of even weeks in resolving the legal battle would not “irreparably damage” the nation. Arthur J. Goldberg, the union s general counsel, said after the court’s rejection of the speed-up plan that “we still Intend to proceed as expeditiously as possible.” Goldberg was expected to file, possibly Friday, .a review of the Philadelphia 'court’s decision. He had said earlier that he would be ready with his appeal Friday morning and with his supporting brief by Monday.
Mdshberger Bros. Low On Joy County Rood The Indiana state highway department received low bids totaling nearly 19 million dollars Wednesday on the bulk of 51 road and bridge projects soon to be launched. It was the biggest bid-opening session in state history from a dollar-value standpoint. The low bids included: Jay county, 1.47 miles on county road, Meshberger Bros. Stone, Linn Grove, $49,292 ; 8.571 miles on Ind. 67, Brooks Construction Co., Fort Wayne, $339,368. Ex-Stale Highway Official Convicted INDIANAPOLIS 'UPD—Cecil P. McDonough, 59, former Indiana State Highway Department purchasing director, was convicted Wednesday night on a charge of accepting a bribe in the Hoosier highway scandals nearly three years ago. A jury which deliberated less than three hours recommended a 2-14 year prison sentence, and $3,600 fine and disfranchisement for 10 years. Judge Thomas J. Faulconer said McDonough will be sentenced Nov. 12. The jurors, 7 men and 5 women, heard evidence since the trial opened Monday in Marion Criminal Court. McDonough was tried on an indictment charging him with accepting $4,850 from Arthur J. Mogilner for his help in shunting state contracts to the former equipment salesman. The trial, which lasted eight days, was the sixth in a series against high state officials and influential political figures involved in the highway scandals. None, however, has begun to serve his jail term, and indications were that McDonough also would appeal the conviction. During final arguments Wednesday, defense attorney H. William Irwin told the jury that the state was playing politics by prosecuting McDonough and not prosecuting other political figures allegedly paid off by Mogilner. Irwin also referred to Mogilner, the state’s star witness, as “a convict, a liar and a perjurer,” and attempted to discredit the salesman's testimony. However, the prosecution told the jury that it would earn the gratitude of the public “by doing your duty and convicting this man.” McDonough did not testify in his own defense.
