Britons Shocked By Scandals In Soccer LONDON (UPI) — Britons are choking on one of their pet phrases — the phrase they used so smugly and righteously when betting scandals broke in baseball and basketball in the United States: “It can’t happen here.” Well, it has happened here—a sorry tale of fixed games in the national sport, soccer football. And this nation which likes to think of itself as the homeland of sportsmanship will never be quite the same. The mess bubbled to the surface this week as football league officials were congratulating themselves on 40 years of scan-dal-free play. A former idol of the game, Rox-Paul, admitted in a newspaper article that he had taken bribes to throw matches. This shock was bad enough—but it did not stop there. One by one players came forward to admit they had been approached to fix matches, and one of them, Johnny Hubbard of the Bury Football Club, said today that he had been offered 6,000 sterling ($6,800) if his team would lose to the Barnsley club by a 4-0 score. Hubbard said the big bribe was offered him because gamblers were hoping for a killing on the football pools and needed the exact 4-0 score. This is the first time there has ever been any

Know Your Candidate

Buri Johnson Burl Johnson, Democratic candidate for re-election as state joint representative from Adams and Wells counties, is expecting to demand that the state highway department replace the “temporary” bridge on road 116 east of Geneva with a new adequate structure. He said today that he does not believe the local counties are getting adequate return on the extra gas taxes their motorists are now paying. As examples, he cited the surplus bridge put on state road 116 which has since caused two fatalities and prevented farmers from crossing with some of their heavy equipment. He is also going to demand that the state put white lines on the outside of the highways as is now being done by the more progressive state highway commissioners, to prevent motorists from straying off the highways in cases of bad visibility. He is also going to demand that the state follow up on a resolution adopted by the last session of the general assembly to survey the Wabash, St. Mary’s and Maumee rivers for methods of preventing the flooding of farm land and bring new industry into this area by improving the water resources. Representative Johnson said he fears the state in recent years has usurped the rights of local communities and he is going to fight tor the return of home rule, by eliminating the mandatory features of many state laws. He is a native of Adams county, a former sheriff, and member of the Methodist church, Farmers Union, Farm Bureau. American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and DAV. While in the service he was awarded the purple heart Married to the former Leone Keller, he is the father of two children and farms 107 acres in St Mary's township.

Record Com Yield Forecast In State INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Indiana farmers will produce a record 65 bushels of corn per acre this year, two bushels above the all-time average yield, the AgricuMjjre Department predicted Tuesday. The Oct. 1 estimate by the department called for production of 356,135,000 bushels, an increase of 5,479,000 bushels, or one bushel per acre, since the Sept. 1 estimate of 64 bushels. The record yield per acre in Indiana is 63, set in 1958. The total production for Indiana also would set a record nearly 20,000,000 bushels above the 1959 production of 336,350,000 bushels, an all-time record. Indiana, on the basis of reports from loeal experts, remained third in the total state-by-state 1 production estimates. A 65-bushel yield for Indiana would be five bushels higher than j the 60-bushel estimate given currently for lowa, the nation’s leading corn producing state. Among the nation's leading corn states, Indiana was among 10 which showed October gains in estimate over September figures. The other two showed no change. Indiana's production estimate gained nearly 11,000,000 bushels in the last two months. The July and August estimates were for 63 bushels per acre, a record-tying yield. The records may be set despite a cool, wet spring which delayed the planting of the corn crop in Indiana about two weeks behind normal. «•. j, g*
