Single copies, 6 reef The Story Os Crime The FBI has just released an Interesting report entitled “Crime In The United States, 1959." While crime in any form is not pleasant reading terial, the complete reports bring out some interesting facts, and an understanding of any subject is a step closer to solving it. Weather must have some influence on crime. The states with the warm climates have a much higher rate of crime. Miami, Florida, has the highest incidence of crime per 100,000 residents. Los Angeles, California, is a close second, and then come two Texas cities. May is the “un-crimeiest” month of the year,' andthen the rate climbs steadily to reach a peak in December. Even stealing must have a Christmas rush. In a five-year span, more arrests are made in the 16-20 age group than any other, but the largest single block of arrests is in the “50 and over” category. Total arrests of all persons under twenty-five make up almost one-third of all people arrested in the United States. Population seems to have little meaning in the incidence of crime per 100,000 people on a state-by-state basis. The leader in that respect is Arizona, with 378.1 crimes per 100,000 people. North Dakota has the lowest rate per 100,000, with a 59.7 average. The two newest states in the Union may have helped scenery-wise, but their crime rates are among the leaders. Alaska has an incidence of 325.6, and Ha- r waii is close behind, with 324.2. Indiana is in the lower third of the states, with a 155 reading. Despite some people’s rationalizations that crime is merely keeping pace with the population growth, crime has increased completely out of proportion in the past twenty years. Since 1940, crime in general has gone up 70%, while serious crimes have skyrocketed to 128%. Police have increased their effectiveness in arresting and charging persons over 50 per cent in the past ten years, but this has been offset by a slower rise in court convictions, up only 36 per cent in the same period. It is not a pretty picture. But it is true. The only way we can improve any picture is to take a good hard lock at it, no matter how we may detest it, and then get to work and make it right.

Navy Fires Rocket Into Space Today

POINT ARGUELLO, Calif. (UPD—The Navy fired a 62-foot NERV rocket 1,200 miles into space today, hoping to recover an instrument capsule from it to help chart possible paths for man to follow through deadly radiation belts above the earth. "Hie four - stage, solid - fueled nuclear emulsion recovery vehicle (NERV) rocket was to send an 83-pound packet back to earth where it could be recovered by ships waiting 1,200 miles off the coast The slender rocket arched from the launch pad at 10:35 a.m. c.d.t. The Navy said it needed only one success to complete the NERV program, but added recovery of the instrument capsule was imperative. The recovery, if all goes well, should come within a few hours. The payload dropped into the sea by parachute from the rocket contained emulsion plates much as a photographer uses. These recorded the amount of radiation striking them. Also aboard were three groups of mold spores to test the effect of radiation on life, and gear to record the number and frequency micro-meteorites struck the rocket during its brief stay in space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said findings would help chart movement of the Van Allen radiation belts. The agency said one purpose of the experiment was to map the ever-changing belts so that adequate shielding can be designed for manned space flight. Two Killed In Plane Crash Near Bedford BEDFORD, Ind. (UPD — The crash of a single-engine plane near here late Sunday claimed the lives of two men, both officials of companies for which they were working at the time of the crash. The victims were R. L. McMillon, 48, Austin, Tex., the pilot, and Roy Ray, 51. Owensboro, Ky. McMillon was field vice president of Western Pipeline Co., Austin, and Ray was chief line inspector for Texas Gas and Transmission Co. They were flying over a pipeline project between here and Bloomington when the left wing of the plane struck a 60,000 volt power line, hurling the plane into a spin. The right wing then hit another power line and the plane fell about 100 feet to a field below. About 70 to 100 construction workers for Western Pipeline watched in horror as the plane crashed and burned. Eye witnesses said the plane hit and bounced end over end for about 400 feet, parts being thrown in all directions more than 100 feet. Dr. R. E. Wynne, the Lawrence County coroner, said the men were burned nearly beyond recognition. The eye witness report of the workers and somgk unburned papers in the wallets of the victims made the identification possible, Wynne said. The plane was demolished.

Unemployment Is Cited By Hartke CHARLESTON, W. Va. (UPD— Sen. Vance Hartke (D-Ind.), said today that Americans “have every reason to conclude that we have too much unemployment too much of the time under Republican administrations.” Hartke made the statement at a Kennedy conference on New Jobs and New Growth.” “In 1953, one of every 33 workers was jobless,” Hartke said. “In the spring of 1960, one in 20 was jobless. Today, one in 16 is jobless. And, if we can believe what the business and economic experts say, unemployment is slowly killing the American economy by constriction.” Hartke said “top priority must be given to the tak of increasing economic growth.” “A sober and realistic view of demands upon the American economy require a higher rate of capital formation and savings, a higher rate of increase in productivity, a more rapid rate of economic growth and higher levels of employment,” Hartke said.

Laos Invaded By Communist Troops

BANGKOK, Thailand (UPD — Rival military factions in Laos announced today that the country had been invaded by Communists. One side called on the Free world for help. A The Red threat increased the possibility that the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization would send aid to the tiny land-locked kingdom. A U.S. aircraft carrier and combat - ready Marines are on maneuvers in the South China Sea and presumably would be available in an emergency. News of the invasion was broadcast by the “neutralist” government of Prince Souvanna Phouma for Vientiane — the country’s administrative capital—and by a pro .Western revolutionary regime established in Savannakhet by Prince Boon Oum and Gen. Phoumi Nosavan. Radio Vientiane appealed to Boon Oum and Pho mutiojoi n forces with Phouma to combat the Red invasion. Boon Oum, who returned Sunday from Sam Neua Province, which borders on Communist North Viet Nam, said Laotian army outposts had been attacked by Communist Pathet Lao and Viet Minh troops. “Our country has been invaded by Communists but we have not surrendered,” Boon Oum said in a broadcast over radio Savannakhet. “Supported by Viet Minh battalions, the enemy is speeding its advance and has joined with subversive elements in the interior of Laos. Other Viet Minh battalions are continuing their march north of our frontier.” He said two battalions of Chinese, Tonkinese, Black Thais, Viet Minh and Lao Communists are stationed in southern border regions of Communist China ready to go into action at a moment’s notice. “In the face of this grave menace to the peace of Southeast Asia we make a solemn appeal to all free peoples to help us in this fight against Communist tyranny,” Boon Oum said. Welcome Rain In Parched Midwest United Press International Cool Canadian air crossed into the Northwest and New England today behind showers across the nation’s northern tier. Parched Midwestern areas Sunday night reported their first drenching rain in several weeks. Janesville, Wis., streets were flooded at hubcap depth and' Rockford, 111., measured 2.53 inches in six hours. High winds measured at 58 miles an hour at Sheboygan, Wis., tossed up 30-foot waves along the Lake Michigan shores and ripped the sleek racing yacht Sabre loose from its anchorage in Sheboygan harbor. The Sabre, battered by the waves, lay on its side 100 feet off shore. Showers spread through the Florida Peninsula north to Virginia. Other showers fell in extreme northwestern Washington state and southeast New Mexico. In Florida, the U. S. Weather Bureau said tropical storm Florence, the season’s sixth tropical weather disturbance, posed no immediate threat. Florence — with 55 mile an hour winds—was about 600 miles southeast of Miami early today and was expected to turn northwest at about 10 miles per hour. The Weather Bureau predicted thundershowers today from southern Missouri and western Tennessee northeast through the eastern Great Lakes, along the central Atlantic coast and from southern Utah southeast to Arkansas.

Opposes Hard And Fast Age Os Retirement LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—Governor Handley today urged that industry and government abolish a hard and fast retirement age. Handley spoke at the Governor’s Conference on Aging and Aged, which opened a two-day session at Purdue University. “It is fine to have a generalized goal such as the age of 65, to which one can look forward as the time when he will begin his retirement,” Handley said. “But some men and women do not wish to stop then. They are still vigorous and possess all their faculties and they prefer to keep on working.” Handley said “in this era of intense international competition when experience, good judgment and mature evaluation count more than ever before, America needs all of its productive power, regardless of the age of the worker.” “In the profession and in industry, maturity can be invaluable, and it is high time that personnel officers start measuring-each employe individually instead of using an unvarying yardstick,” Handley said. All 92 counties were represented at the cohference, which is preliminary to a national meeting in Washington in 1961. Handley said he will appoint 44 Hoosiers to attend the White House conference. Handley also proposed that the next legislature appropriate funds for the Indiana Commission on the Aging and the Aged. Thus far, the group has operated on a volunteer basis. Handley suggested that the need for recreational centers to serve senior citizens is as great as that for juveniles. Matthew Welsh, the Democratic nominee for governor, was speaker at a noon luncheon at the conference. Welsh said in remarks prepared for delivery at the luncheon that if he is elected, he will urge the legislature to explore the possibility of enacting a law prohibiting employers from firing persons solely for reasons of age, and prohibiting age discrimination in hiring. Welsh said seven states already have enacted such a law. He said if the next legislature finds it feasible for Indiana, it should adopt such a law in 1961. Welsh called it a “serious and tragic problem” that older persons who are still productive face loss of their jobs or inability to get new jobs. “Coupled with this is the occasional firing of employes nearing the retirement age before they obtain their full pension rights,” Welsh said. COURT NEWS Estate Cases Inventory No. 1 was filed in the Harry Sipe estate and was examined and approved. A petition to sell personal property at public auction was filed in the Ellis C. Lehman estate. An order to sell the property was filed. The schedule to determine inheritance tax was filed with reference to the county assessor in the estate of Christian Stengel. The final report of the Eva Long estate was filed and the notice was ordered issued, returnable Oct. 7. In the Raymond Macklin estate, the final report was filed and the notice was ordered issued, returable Oct. 7. Marriage Application Carl M.

Extension Os Cold War By Russia Scored WASHINGTON (UPD - Lord Home, British foreign secretary, said after meeting with President Eisenhower today that Soviet attempts to extend the cold war to Africa could lead to a “dangerous and explosive” world situation. The foreign secrteary said any attempt to promote ideological warfare in independent or wouldbe independent African states would be a “disaster” for the Africans and could lead to a Korea-type situation. He made the comments after a 45 - minute conference with the President on American - British strategy at the forthcoming United National General Assembly session. Lord Home said British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan has not yet decided whether to attend the U.N. session but in any case would not come until after debate gets under way. “I have no doubt that if he feels there is useful work to be done, he would come,” Lord Home told reporters. Although the British diplomat did hot specifically mention Russian intervention in the Congo crisis, it was obvious he was feferring to the Soviet's supplying some Congolese forces with military equipment and planes. Eisenhower returned to the White House Sunday afternoon after spending the weekend at secluded Camp David, Md., where he worked on the speech he will deliver to the U. N. session Thursday.
