Ike In Answer To Democrat Critics

WASHINGTON (UPD - President Eisenhower said emphatically today Congress cannot take the view that politicking is more important than the national interest. The President also told his news conference that it was a little bit silly for Democratic critics to accuse him of unloading new programs on Congress when he merely had restated recommendations he made during the preconvention session of Congress. He made another reply to Democratic critics — specifically Sen. F. Kennedy, the Democartic presidential nominee — when he said there was nothing in the economic picture now to indicate that a recession or depression is in the offing. Eisenhower fielded a number of questions about the current precampaign session of Congress when He met with 205 newsmen for his first news conference in five weeks. Disputes Johnson Charge Eisenhower said he stood for a number of things which were reflected in the 21-point legislative program he sent to Congress Monday and he was not deserting those positions now. We cannot say, he added, that politicking is more important than the national Interest. In other news conference comments, the President said: —He has not frozen $B2l million in defense funds as charged by Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson. Congress cut some items in his defense budget, he said, and increased others and the result requires a lot of, study so that the question ot impounding appropriated money was not before him in those terms. —This country’s patience may be running out in refraining from nuclear tests in the face of discouraging disarmament negotiations with Russia. But he said the United States would not under any circumstances conduct tests in the atmosphere ' which might cause worldwide worries over health.

Defends Benson Program —Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's proposal for the heads of state of all United Nations members to attend the General Assembly meeting next month was obviously ’Wopaganda. He has given no thought to a meeting with Khrushchev, if the Soviet leader should come to the U.N., but might suggest one if he thought it would be useful. —Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, the administration's political target in the farm belt, has embraced programs that the President believes to.be cornet and it would be a betrayal of his own views if he regretted" keeping Benson in the Cabinet. —During the presidential campaign, he will do whatever be can do for the Nixon-Lodge ticket whose election he thinks would be for the good of the *coudti;y. But his activity would not n&essarily mean making a set oftpartisan speeches. He thinks Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge can take care of themselves very well. Caba Not Bed Satellite —The decisions of the President about vetoing legislation and other steps are .his own responsibility until next Jan. 20 and hVTees no way that Nixon would be drawn into consultation, as the GOP presidential nominee, any more . the * Vl ? e preside nt already participates in administration adviee. r ~ To • 5 u «»tlon whether there were political implications in his proposal tor civil rights legislation, be merely urged again that Congress act oh two provisions Included in his original program and stricken in the measure passed last spring. —He does not regard Cuba as a Soviet satellite and does not believe the Cuban people will vote themslves into Communist regi-

mentation. —He regards the Republican platform as one the GOP can follow and honor because it would be good for the nation. He does not recall that he was upset by the defense plank recommended by Nixon and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York with their proposals for a step-up in some defense programs. Sheriff's Posse To Hold Benefit Show The 23 members of the Adams county sheriff’s posse will hold a benefit horse show for Robert Brown, Monroe township young man who lost both hands and both feet when he was nearly electrocuted in June, Palmer Schwartz, posse captain, said today.. Brown has made remarkable improvement, but is still hospitalized in room 243 at Parkview memorial hospital, Fort Wayne, where he will celebrate his 20th birthday Saturday. He is able to be in ,a wheel chair tor short times each day. The horse show will be held September IB at the old fair grounds, owned by Dr. Rolland Reppert. The group started contacting merchants today for donations for the prizes, which will attract top-flight entries from the tri-state area. The two-year-old posse was organized by Sheriff Merle Affolder, and this will be its first benefit horse show. Brown was formerly a member of the posse.

LEOPOLDVILLE. The Congo, (UPD—Five Tunisian soldiers of the United Nations contingent were killed in skidmishes with tribesmen in the Luluabourg area of the Kasai Province three days ago, U.N. sources said today. Headquarters of the Tunisian military force here refused to comment on the report. If confirmed, these would be the first U.N. casualties in the Congo. The Lulua and Baluba- tribes are at war in the area where the Tunisians topps of the U.N. force have been sent, and more than 300 tribesmen have been killed there in the past week. The report of the deaths came as Congolese Premier Patrice Lumumba announced be would consider resuming immediate normal diplomatic relations with Belgium as soon as all Belgian troops are withdrawn from the Congo. Lumumba, speaking at a hastily summoned news conference, also announced he gave United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold full assurance his government would cooperate with the U.N. in carrying out Security Council resolutions on the Congo.

Cuba Revives U. S. Attacks

HAVANA,(UPD - President. Osvaldo Dorticos charged early today some Cubans inspired by "base, egoistic sentiments’* are using the church as a sounding board for attacks on Premier Fidel Castro’s government. Dorticos’s charge appeared to refer to Sunday’s Roman Catholic denunciation of the spread of Communism in Cuba and to Tuesday’s reported warning that Catholic churches throughout the island will close down unless the Castro regime guarantees freedom of worship. Havana’s Archbishop Coadjutor Evelio Diaz, the second-ranking Catholic prelate in Cuba, requested an interview with Dorticos today, presumably to repeat the warning of a possible church shutdon which Catholic sources say he delivered to the president’s secretary Tuesday. Dorticos refused to see the archbishop Tuesday, and there was no assurance that his request for a talk today would be granted. Revives Attack Charge In a pre-dawn speech to unionized shopworkers, Dorticos alsd: —Revived the charge that the United States is likely to launch a military attack against Cuba. He predicted that Castro's followers could defeat such an attack with the promised aid of Russian rockets, and added that the United States would win only by killing six million Cubans. —Declared that Cuba will denounce "imperialism and its submissive lackey governments” at the coming conference of Western Hemisphere foreign ministers in Costa Rica. ■_, —Defended this week’s seizure of IT S.nrnrwrtirs in Cuba as a “legitimate" means of making up for the United States* reduction of Cuba’s share in the American sugar market. "Reapset Religious Creeds” “The revolutionary government has kept its promise that all religious creeds without exception will be respected,” he said. “It wil not alter this despite provocations. “It doesn’t matter that some want to convert the practice of one Jpith into a platform (for attacks) against the revolution and against the fatherland." Mob Manhandles Priests A mob in Cathedral Square manhandled a group bf priests Tuesday. Police had to fire about 50 shots in the air to disperse the mob, which apparently was protesting Sunday’s church denunciation of "the Increasing advance of Communism in our country..”

Hammarskjold, Lumumba said, specifically asked for such assurance in a cable the premier received Tuesday night. The Congolese prime minister announced the radical change in his position towards Belgium only 24 hours after expelling Belgian Ambassador Jean Van Den Bosch. To Go to Katanga Earlier, Lumumba, working swiftly to put out fires of opposition that flared while he was out of the country, was preparing to go personally into Katanga Province "victoriously to free our brothers." The 34-year-old African politician served notice in a radio speech Tuesday night that he intended to defy threats of armed resistance by Moise Tshombe, president of the “seceded” province. “The Congolese government and I are going to enter the Katanga immediately,” Lumumba said. This appeared to mean he planned to go with U. N. forces. There was no announcement on when the international troops en-

Pleasanf Weather Forecast In State United Press International High humidity, which has made most Hoosiers uncomfortable the last couple of weeks, was due to vanish over most of the state today in a wave of slightly cooler but more pleasant temperatures. Forecasts for the next couple of days and the five-day outlook for the period ending next Monday were heartening to Indianans who don’t like to swelter. North and central portions faced a little cooler and less humid weather today with temperatures ranging from 77 to 85 at high points. Fair and pleasant conditions were due tonight in those same areas, with the mercury falling to a range of 55 to 63 tonight, and advancing no higher than 75 to 83 during a "fair and pleasant" day Thursday. It was a little different story in the south, where a chance of widely scattered thundershowers was seen for today and early tonight with temperatures ranging from 83 to 88 at high points today, 61 to 66 tonight at low points and 81 to 86 Thursday. The five-day outlook called for temperatures averaging about seven degrees below normal highs of 81 to 91 and normal lows of 61 to 70. “A little cooler tonight and cooler about Friday or Saturday with not much temperature change over the weekend,” the outlook said, adding that precipitation during the period will be negligible in the form of widely scattered showers Friday or Saturday. Highs Tuesday ranged from 83 at South Bend and Fort Wayne to 87 at Evansville and Cincinnati. Overnight lows ranged from 60 at Lafayette to 69 at Evansville and Cincinnati and 70 at LouisviHe. Record Church Giving Bv Church Os God ANDERSON, Ind. (UPD — Record giving of 81,308,514 to general causes of the Church of God during the fiscal year 1959-60 was announced today by the leaders at the movement’s international offices here. Ohio congregations set the 1959-60 pace in total giving to World Servce, fun-raising arm of the movement, by giving 8138,888. Indiana was second with 8176,885. Y.

ter Katanga. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold is expected, back in the Congo Thursday and’ it was anticipated he would try to start the operation at least by the weekend. Working On Arrangements The U. N. Security Council resolution passed Tuesday in New York called on Belgium to get its troops out of Katanga "immediately” • under arrangements to be made with the secretary general. Hammarskjold started working on these arrangements at U. N. headquarters Tuesday. Tshombe softened his position somewhat Tuesday by declaring he was willing to have the United Nations enter his province so long as it did not interfere with his own police, made no move to enforce a certain political status on Katanga and did not provide transportation for central Congolese government officials to the province. Threatens Scorched Policy He threatened • a scorched earth policy if any forces from Communist nations or Ghana or Guinea tried to enter Katanga. "If we are invaded by the Communist forces called by Lumumba they will find themselves in a dead country where all the riches have been destroyed,” he declard. Just what Tshombe would do it Lumumba tried to enter Ka-' tanga with the U. N. troops was not clear. If the United Nations denied him transportation, Lumumba' conceivably could marNggl Jus iriui fcicoe and set to Kathnga by otffer means Tuesday he proclaimed a - 'state of emergency throughout the country.

Russia Ousts U. S. Attache

MOSCOW (UPD—The U.S. air attache to the Soviet Union has been ordered out of the country for conducting intelligence activities "incompatible with his diplomatic status,” the official Tass news agency said today. The agency said air attache E.-M. Kinton and his assistant, I.T. McDonald, were detained recently after allegedly phtographing military objectives at Kurgan in the trans-Ural mountain region. (In Washington, the Air Force identified the Attache as Col. Edwin M. Kirton, Hollywood, Calif., and his assistant as Capt. Irving T. McDonald, Pro vi nc e town, Mass.) The Kurgan region is about 250 air miles from the Sverdlovsk industrial area in Siberia in which A m e ric a n U-2 reconnaissance plane pilot Francis B. Powers #a« downed May 1.

To Meet August 23 On Highway Reforms INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Hie Indiana Highway Study Committee, knee-deep in proposed highway reform bills for submission to the 1961 Legislature, planted today to meet Aug. 23 for fiial consideration of the recommenda- - created fay * earlier legislature, o r 1 gi n a 1 ty, planned to hold its final session Tuesday. But there were so magy measuryLand they Were discussed at suetfcjffifcth test the group AM tided and meet “We dlrf%ume to* ment," said State Sen. Charles Maddox, R-Otterbetn, chairman of the committee, “but for the most part we felt the proposed bids should be rewritten.” Perhaps the most important bill would revise the appointment system for members of the Indiana State Highway Commission and provide for continuity and geographical representation. Maddox said “there was a general feeling the state should be made into three districts, with one commissioner from each district and their terms staggered so as to get some continuity.” At present, the three comissioners change whenever the governorship changes. The question of an executive director for the highway department was not discussed, Maddox said. Under the present format, some critics contend the executive director wields some of the power the commissioners should exercise, while others believe a threeman commission bogs down for lack of agreement. Maddox said the committee also agreed that a bill must be offered in 1961 to protect both the state and the individual landowner whose .property is taken under right of eminent domain. Frank E. Spencer, chief counsel for the Indiana attorney general, .urged enactment of a measure to allow the landowner to withdraw 70 per cent of money placed in escrow pending a court settlement. He pointed out that this arrangement would benefit the landowner who cannot afford to wait yntil completion of legal action to get paid for his property. This plan drew some protest TroTn state neps. Townsend of Upland and L. Parker Baker of Cicero, but Maddox said a general agreement was reached that the state does need some protection against overpaying a landowner.

McNabb Criticizes Ike Administration w f ’I

"Hie abject surrender of the Eisenhower-Nixon-Lodge administration to Communism in Indoqßea, Indonesia, the Middle East, aid now within 90 miles of the ■tores of our was severely criticized Tuesday might by Judge Clarence R. McNabb. candidate for the Indiana supreme court. McNabb tore into the "Eisenhower do-nothing-but-smile administration,” telling the audience of 35 precinct workers that it was . reprehensible that a president try to solve world problems from a golf course. "The people of the UnitedStates were subjected last week to the peculiar picture of the president of the United States, on an extended vacation in Conneticut, sending a message to the Congress of the United States, telling them to stay on the job until they get it completed,” he stated. Schug Presides Otto Schug, of Berne, who is working with the state central committee in the fourth congressional district, staging workshops to explain precinct-level organization to workers, presided at the meeting. Sen. Kennedy wants every one of the 4,100 precincts in Indiana poled in August and September, and every unregistered voter, all 459,436 in Indiana, registered, Schug stated. Eisenhower won in 1956 by a 298,000 majority, and yet there were 300,000 unregistered Democrats in Indiana that year. Mrs. Mabel Stricker, county recorder, then explained how to poll. A movie was shown demonstrating how a beginner in politics, even an independent, can take part in government, and help further the Democratic system of government with a patriotic volunteer’s job. Jiberg Speaks Ed Jaberg, county auditor, then explained how absent voters were registered, explaining how many had voted that way in every election since 1956. Support Appreciated Judge McNabb then spokp. He started by thanking the Adams county delegation tor its support in the state convention that nominated him to the highest court in Indiana. He explained that 39 years ago he had tried his first jury trial in Adams county before Judge John Moran, and Huber DeVoss, later appellate court judge tor eight years.lwas court reporter at the time. His co-counsel in the week-long hase had been Clark Lutz. Judge McNabb then praised Adams county for its fine representation on the state courts, such as Judge Richard Irwin, supreme court judge, described by McNabb as one of the finest judges in the history of the state. Judge DeVoss and the present appellate court judge from Decatur, Judge G. Remy Bierly, were also highly praised.

Only the cost of wire fence seems to be down a little this year. “Unemployment has now reached 5.2 per cent in the Fort Wayne area with, more than 1 out of every 20 persons in the labor force without work." Court Explained McNabb also explained how the ■ constitution of 1851 provided for a supreme court in Indiana of three to five members, and how the court had grown with the state, and now had five members, plus an appellate court of six member*. The supreme court never sees the litigants, but only reviews tha typed record of the case for error* in procedure or constitutionality, he explained.
