State Pursestrings Tied Up By Judge’s Ruling On Indiana’s Budget Group

Kennedy Nixon Debate On TV This Evening WASHINGTON (UPD— AU political signs pointed to Chicago today where the rival presidential candidates limbered up in crisscross city campaigning preparatory to confronting each other tonight in a nationwide TV - radio “debate.” Both candidates addressed a convention of the International Brotherhoods of Carpenters during the day. Vice President Richard M. Nixon led off in a morning speech, foUowed by an afternoon address by his Democratic opponent, Sen. John F. Kennedy. ■Die “debate,” first in a series of four, wiU be broadcast from 9:30 to 10:30 pm., edt on all networks. Kennedy tuned up for the meeting by lashing out at Republican “tight money” policies in a speech before an enthusiastic Democratic rally in Cleveland, Ohio, Sunday night. He drew some of the largest crowds of his campaign—-a parade route throng estimated by police at 200,000 — in bis foray by plane to the Ohio city and back to Chicago that night. Nixon, too, got a good reception when he flew into Chicago Sunday night from Washington and was met at the airport by partisan greeters. Before leaving Washington, the vice president unveiled an aid-to-education program calling for increased federal spending for school construction but still opposing federal funds for teachers’ salaries. Nixon outlined a 4,700-mile, sixday campaign schedule for the week carrying him through 11 states and including another swing into the nominally Democratic South and into Kennedy’s home territory in Boston. Kennedy provided a possible preview of his line of attack for the TV-radio debate in his Cleveland appearance. The debate is expected to be limited to domestic i»»ues. Kennedy charged tn Cleveland that under “eight years of Republican rule, the cost of Uving has gone up and up and Republicans have done nothing about it” He accused the GOP of failing to make good on promises of a stable dollar and lower prices. “I intend to mention the high cost of living every week of this campaign,” Kennedy asserted.

America Planning New Lunar Rocket

GAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) — America is planning another $lO million attempt to put a satellite into orbit around the moon this year despite its “annoying” sixth lunar probe failure Sunday. The new moon rocket will carry a duplicate of the 387 - pound “space laboratory” destroyed in this nation’s latest lunar exploration setback. “We have assigned a launching date” for the new satellite, said Laurence T. Hogarth of the federal space agency. "We have the ingredients”—the rocket and the payload. Hogarth declined to reveal a specific date for the shot. But informed sources said it probably would be attempted as early as November. Sunday’s effort to fire a satellite 340,000 miles to a lunar orbit ended in wreckage at the bottom of the ocean less than one hour after an Atlas-Able rocket Hasted from its pad. S ; In seven lunar probe tries, the United States has yet to rack up a full success. The one non-failure

l was Pioneer IV, a “partial success" which went into orbit around the sun but failed in its mission to explore lunar radiations when it missed the moon by 37,300 miles. Dr. Adolph Thiel of Space Technology Laboratories said the Atlas-Abie’s failure was traced to a malfunction in the three-stage rocket’s second stage —a section that had run up a string of 15 successes in previous space shots. Thiel said the stage “appeared to get abnormal ignition” and was “completely in the wrong trajectory.” Ulis was within 15 minute after lift-off. Scientists had hoped the satellite, designed to study the space environment between earth and moon, would go into a polar orbit around the moon. Alternate possibilities included an earth orbit, an orHt around the sun or a direct hit on the moon. Instead, scientists said, the satellite apparently plunged back into the atmosphere and burned up over the Indian Ocean.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A circuit court judge today enjoined the state auditor from paying any bills to keep Indiana government in operation. Judge John L. Niblack of Marion Circuit Court ruled that the Indiana State Budget Committee is unconstitutional because its membership includes legislators and should have only representatives of the executive branch of the government State Sen. Nelson Grills filed the suit in which Niblack ruled. Grills sought to test the separation of brandies clause of the Constitution. The ruling tied State Auditor Albert Steinwedel’s state pursestrings. He was ordered not to honor any vouchers, claims or demands for payments from state funds. Governor Handley called a hurried news conference and announced "we’ve got to find some way to circumvent this action—we can’t have government coming to a halt.” Plan to Ask Stay The state attorney general’s office planned to file a motion for a stay of execution of the injunction Tuesday and to ask for a new trial. Handley said he was sure the attorney general would be able to work out a temporary arrangement so that state government could continue to function until the 1961 Legislature meets. Call* Set-up Practical Handley said the present arrangement under which two Democratic and two Republican lawmakers serve on the committee “has proved most practical.” "You can’t take 150 men and women and have them go to all the institutions and departments and decide what their budgets should be,” Handley said. Handley said some legislatures meet yearly and for indefinite periods, unlike Indiana’s which is limited by law to 61 days every other year. He said the Indiana proviso which prevents a governor from limiting a special session to one subject makes detailed supervision by the lawmakers of state expenditures impractical. A similar situation arose several years ago when an opinion was issued by the attorney general that the presence of legislators on the State Ofice Building (Continued on page 8)

Congo Reports New Violence

LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (UPD—Supporters of deposed pro-' Soviet Premier Patrice Lumumba beat up two newly appointed government officials today, and then, took a beating themselves from troops of strongman Col. Joseph Mobutu in violence that deepened the Congo Crisis. Mobutu stormed into the United Nations headquarters after the incident for a three - hour session with special U.N. representative Rajeshwar Dayal and the chief of staff, Gen. Carl Van Horn. He repeated his demand for withdrawal of Ghana and Guinea troops, and his supporters threatened action against the embassies of the two countries later in the day. Ghana troops allegedly looked on as the two men were beaten. Mobutu already had been angered because Ghana troops protected Lumumba when he toured the European section of Leopoldville Sunday. The new violence also appeared; to have made reconiliation bep tween the warring factions herds more dificult. 3 The beatings took glace at the’ Surete headquarters across th‘6' street from Lumumba’s oficial residence, which is guarded by Ghana troops. Beaten were Joseph Nussbaumer, high commissioner for the interior, and Danile Kandolo, the Surete commissioner. Mobutu troops later appeared on the scene and beat the pro - Lumumba demonstrators with gun butts. Two truckloads of gendarmes were sent to the scene by Mobutu

President Scores Deficit Spending

PHILADELPHIA (UPD—President Eisenhower today attacked advocates of deficit spending as “political cowards” and said it would endanger U.S. security more than military weakness. The chief executive declared that “nothing can more surely weaken our nation at home and abroad than such irresponsible spending.” His remarks were a thinly veiled thrust at Democrats. Eisenhower used the same language to denounce Democratic-backed legislative proposals during the last Congress. He also offered fiscal commandments to preserve a healthy economy in a speech to the 73rd annual convention of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. It was the first stop on his way to New York. “The security and influence of America depend as much on a sound and expanding free-enter-prise economy as they do upon a strong military establishment,” the President warned. "Weakness on the economic side is fully as dangerous to us as weakness on the military side,” he said. “Indeed, in the long run it is more so.” The President outlined liis commandments for “responsible” government. —"lt must not use the taxing power to weaken or tyrannize the private economy. —“lt must not delude the people into taking the deceptively easy road of deficit spending, unbalanced budgets or inflationary fiscal policies. —“And it must not use the power of appropriation falsely to offer the people something for nothing. New programs should provide the necessary suporting revenues.” The President’s second speech here was to be a brief one at an Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship meeting. • He told some 200 members of

and they ripped into the crowd with rifle butts and fists, scattering it and arresting six Lumumba followers. t Earlier, about 100 other Lumumba supporters had stopped employes from entering the city’s main administration building as they demonstrated to demand the immediate return to power of the ousted premier. Congolese police and gendarmes dispersed the demonstrators, but they regrouped and marched to Lumumba’s residence to continue their demonstration. Soldiers loyal to Mobutu were guarding the central police headquarters opposite, and they clashed briefly with the demonstrators. Tension in the capital shot up, and flying columns of Mobutu troops toured the European and African sections of the city with orders to break up any gatherings. Another indication of increasing tension was d report that a hand (grenade- was thrown into a church near the capital Sunday. No one was injured. flareup of trouble may nave resulted from the sudden reemergence of Lumumba in a comeback attempt, which is being supported by the Soviet Union and Ghana at the United Nations in New York. Lumumba made a surprise tour of Leopoldville for 30 minutes Sunday under the protection of Ghanaian troops of the U.N. force, and then held a news conference afterward. The move angered Mobutu and he protested.

In New York, he planned to meet this afternoon with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India and President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic.

Jefferson Club To Meet On Thursday The j Adams county Jefferson club will meet Thursday at 8 p.m. hi the basement of the Monroe Co-Op building to hear Earl Utterback, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor. Edward Jaberg, Adams county auditor, will emcee the program, and joint state representative Burl Johnson will introduce Utterback. A twelve-year veteran of the Indiana legislature, Utterback served six years in the house and six years in the state senate. Just last week-end, Senator Utterback was in Washington, D.C., to confer with the agricultural advisors of both Senator John F. Kennedy and Senator Stuart Symington. The lieutenant governor of Indiana is also the secretary of agriculture in the state, and Utterback has launched a vigorous campaign to help improve the income of the Indiana farmers. The candidate has stated that “Matt Welsh. Democratic candidate for governor, has promised me his full support to put the full power of the state government behind an all-out effort to help our farmers strengthen their marketing operations so that they can secure higher incomes.” Utterback has praised the work of Purdue University and the county extension offices for their work with the farmers of Indiana but feels that the state government should also be of more assistance. of the local Democratic candidates will be present at the meeting, and Herman Moellering, Democratic candidate for surveyor, will introduce them.

Pirate Fans Celebrate

PITTSBURGH (UPD—The 33year pennant drought finally was ended. And the joy that accompanied this fact simply swamped downtown Pittsburgh Sunday night. The air was saturated with that sweet smell of success, and throngs choked the sidewalks and streets to inhale it as they awaited the arrival from Milwaukee of their heroes—the 1960 National League champions — the Pittsburgh Pirates. Police Superintendent James Slusser said that estimating the size of the crowd was nearly impossfole. But he said that, according to police reports, some halfmillion persons turned out to welcome home the victorious Pirates. Fans were lined along the sidewalks more than a dozen deep in most places and they ranged for blocks. starting from the ‘‘Point’* to the base line of the Golden Triangle. Converge Early People began converging on the area shortly after the Pirates officially clinched the pennant — when the Chicago Cubs eliminated the St. Louis Cardinals in the Windy City. By 8 p.m., EOT, traffic was forced to inch forward through milling crowds who chanted: “Beat ’em, Bucs.” By 9 p.m., motorists just gave up trying to maneuver their cars through the streets choked with joyful fans. By 10 pun., the downtown section was a combination of V-J Day, a presidential nomination and New

Dag Rejects Red Pressure

UNITED NATIONS (UPD — Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold today rejected Soviet pressure to resign in a stirring defense of his post that sent Premier Nikita Khrushchev into a desk-pounding frenzy of dissent. Western and African delegations rallied to Hammarskjold’s defense. A top-ranking Asian diploma called the Hammarskjold speech a “responsible statement.” And some Africans said Khrushchev’s plan to abolish the Hammarskjold job would not aid the United Nations. Hammarskjold, appearing unexpectedly today to answer Khrushchev's attack of last Friday, said he would rather see his office “break” while upholding impartiality in world afairs than "drift on the basis ot compromise.” When he had finished there was a storm of applause. It swelled into an ovation and Khrushchev looked displeased. He began pounding his desk furiously with his fist and was joined by Foreign Minister Andre Gromyko and other Communist delegates. an Anvil Chorus The hammering of the Communist bloc was so loud and rhythmical it sounded like an anvil chorus above the noise of the Hammarskjold ovation. Delegates looked around in amazement and Khrushchev broke into a wide grin while keeping up the pounding. At one point Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India turned around and stared as if in disbeHammarskjold was followed by Czech President Antonin Novotny who followed the Khrushchev line all the way. Then came Foreign Minister Diogenes Taboada of Argentina who rose to Hammar-

Year’s Eve. Automobile horns honked incessantly, firecrackers exploded and noise-makers kept up a constant wail. Thousands waved the everpresent “Beat ’em, Bucs" signs and pennants. Huge signs screamed out a challenge to the New York Yankees, the blase opponents of the Pirates come Oct. 5 in the World Series. “Bring on the Yanks,” “The Yanks Are Next,” “Yankee You’ll Go Home,” sprang up on homemade signs throughout the goodnatured mobs. Children, Too Little children, carried by exuberant parents, fell asleep on their fathers’ shoulders. One toddler, whose mother said “just had his first birthday two weeks ago," definitely was in the spirit of the occasion, dressed in a baseball uniform the back of whch bore a “Beat ’em. Bucs” sign. But as he toddled along holding on to his mother’s hand, he kept a plastic milk bottle jammed contentedly in his mouth. The motorcade of open convertibles bearing the ballplayers finally arrived in the Golden Triangle at about 11:15 p.'th., EOT. Cheering and roars greeted the players and Pirate officials. The shouts rolled down the lines of packed humanity as the motorcade moved along slowly. Exhausted police officers couldn’t hold back the thousands that swarmed around their heroes.

While he was speaking Khrushchev led the Communist leaders from the floor to attend a lunch given in his honor by Cyrus W. Eaton, a Cleveland industrialist. Soon all of the Communist Bloc leaders were gone except Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia. Calls Proposal “Absurd” Prime Minister John Diefenbaker of Canada followed Taboada in another defense of Hammarskjold but the Russians already were gone by then. He called Khrushchev’s proposal to abolish the secretary general post “absurd.” An American spokesman called Khrushchev’s desk-pounding exhibition “pure Khrushchev” and reafirmed the American position that the United States "is 100 per cent behind Secretary - General Dag Hammarskjold.” Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, sitting behind Khrushchev, did not applaud Hammarskjoid’s speech. But the wild applause ot the other delegates showed plainly Khrushchev’s proposals were very unpopular with most of them.

Pirate announqer Jim Woods, who accompanied the team on the flight from Milwaukee, said everyone connected with the club was soaked with champagne, beer and anything liquid. “Nobody had his shirt on by the time we left County Stadium (Milwaukee),” Woods said. “Some of the players had to get dressed all over again when we got back to the plane.” Ten Mlles Oat “There were crowds out waiting for the team from about 10 miles outside of town,” Woods said. The Greater Pittsburgh Airport is about 16 miles from the downtown section. Mayor Joseph M. Barr, who displayed his confidence of a Pirate victory last week when he posed with a giant pennant in front of the City Hall, praised the Bucs on their “team victory." “I am too limp to go on and will conserve what energy I have left for the rousing reception which has been planned for . . . our wonderful Pirate champions” Barr said. Some enthusiastic fans still felt the job wasn’t finished. Joe Blatrca, 65, a retired railroad workers, wants revenge tor the 1907 World Series when the Yankees swept the Pirates in four games.

“I’m glad those Yanks won on their side,” he said. , “It’s been a long time, but now I figure we’ll pay ’em back.”
