Speculation Rife On Nixon Running Mate WASHINGTON <UPD-At least a dozen names cropped up in speculation today over the 1960 running mate for Vice President Richard M. Nixon if he wins the GOP presidential nomination as expected. Nixon has given no indication as to whom he would favor as the vice presidential candidate. He takes the position that specu-

lation over the second spot on the ticket is premature because he hasn't even announced his own plans. Some of Nixon's backers have indicated that he might leave the choice entirely to the Republican convention next July. But those who have observed him closely in the past feel that he will have his running mate. Covers Wide Range The speculation covers a wide range. Among those regarded as possibilities are Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers; House Republi- : can Leader Charles A. Halleck Hind.'; Interior Secretary Fred A. iSeaton; Sens. Kenneth B. Keating (N.YJ, Hugh Scott <Pa), and Thruston B. Morton <Ky.), the GOP national chairman; ' Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell; Govs. William G. Stratton of Illinois, Cecil H. Underwood of West Virginia, and Christopher Del Sesto of Rhode Island; Health, Education and Welfare I Secretary Arthur S. Flemming; Treasury Secretary Robert B. Ani derson and Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen <lll.l. Since Nixon is from California, his running mate probably would have to come from the East or Midwest. This would eliminate such Republicans as Govs. Mark O. Hatfield of Oregon and William Quinn of Hawaii. Dirksen “Not Interested” Dirksen also was not regarded as a likely choice.. The Senate leader told reporters he was "not interested” in the vice presidency but would not decline it if it were thrust on him. Rogers, a New Yorker whose legal residence now is Maryland, is one of Nixoh’s closest personal friends and advisers.

Expresses Gratitude To Deputy Sheriff

A law enforcement officer’s job is not an easy one. He usually has to stand a lot of guff from a number of persons. He's on call 24 hours a day, and it seems like the only time someone has an accident or other trouble is when its 32 below zero or raining. Well, one of the local enforcement officers in the Adams county sheriff's department, Robert Meyer, was repaid for all the adversities of his position by simply receiving a Christmas card. Feels Gratitude As deputy Meyer put it, “It makes the job worthwhile when at least one person feels some gratitude for the job we try to do.” „ The gist of the story is that the Meyer family took a 2-year-old boy into their house on Thanksgiving day while his mother and 4-year-old brother were in the hospital as the result of an accident. The father stayed with the injured wife and son at the Adams county memorial hospital, where they wiya kept overnight. The accident at 2:25

Conspiracy Plot Is Smashed By Castro HAVANA (UPD — The arrest of 37 Cubans, including a U.S.eductaed sugar planter, has smashed a vast conspiracy against the government of Premier Fidel Castro, it was reported today. Army intelligence agents said the arrests frustrated plans to terrorize the nation with a campaign of sabotage and murder. At the same time, the pro-gov-ernment newspaper JCombate carried new reports of an impending invasion, saying that antiCastro forces armed by the Guatemalan z government are about to sail for 'Cuba. Talk of conspiracy and invasion, however, failed to halt preparations for Friday’s celebration of the first anniversary of Castro’s victory over ousted ex-President Fulgencio Batista. An army announcement said the leader of the alleged anti-gov-ernment plot was Eugenio de Sosa Chabau, U.S.-educated owner of the Santa Regina sugar mill and former editor of the opposition newspaper Disario de la Marina. 9 Twenty-six other persons were reported arrested with De Sosa aboard the yacht.

Hazardous Driving Conditions In State United Press International Sporadic snow flurries falling on Indiana created hazardous icy patches on highways today and contributed to two fatal traffic accidents. Wrecks near LaPorte and Franklin, each of which killed one man, were blamed on slick spots on heavily-traveled U.S. roads, created when snow fell, melted and froze again as temperatures tumbled into the 20s. Only an inch of snow covered portions of Northern Indiana, however, and scarcely traces elsewhere. The flurries were expected to continue today over the state and in the north and central portions Thursday. The mercury dipped to 23 at Lafayette, 25 at South Bend and Fort Wayne, 28 at Indianapolis and 33 at Evansville this morning after hitting highs in the 30s Tuesday. Today’s highs will range from 28 to 38, tonight’s lows from 20 to 30, and Thursday’s highs from 29 to 40 The five-day outlook called for temperatures averaging near or slightly below normal highs of 27 to 45 and lows of 12 to 30. A slight I warmup was expected about Friday, turning colder by Sunday. Precipitation will average .25 to .75 of an inch in rain or snow possibly beginning late Friday and continuing during the weekend.
