A base spokes- . man said the Marines' weekend , stay was “quiet and normal.” It was their first shore leave in Ar month of maneuvers. The Cuban government mean- ’ while started cracking down on the exodus of trained professionals ■ and two foreign airlines announced plans to end flights to Cuba because of lack of business. The government was reported ' ready ito nationalize travel agen- ■ cies to tighten its control over the • swarm of nationals fleeing to the ; United States and other foreign countries. Tens of thousands already have left and, with the government whipping up fears of a U.S.supported invasion, the outgoing stream increased. The Dutch KLM airlines and the Venezuelan national airlines LAV served notice they would pull out this week. Economists Foresee I A Mild Recession NEW YORK (UPD—A sizeable J majority of the nation’s leading ’ economists foresee a mild reces- ' sion between now and the end of , 1961, a survey showed today. At least two-thirds of 327 econo- ; mists canvassed said they expect . a downturn in business activity in the next six to nine months with a majority of these seeing a rebound late in 1861. The other economists polled look I for the economy to hold its own through next year. The annual survey was made by F. W. Dodge Corp., a construction and marketing statistical agency.

VOTa fwHFflpf Proposes Jes Airport Bui INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Handley said today he will ask the 1961 Legislature to consider building a jet cargo and industrial airport near the proposed Indiana seaport on Lake Michigan. Handley, at a news conference In which he also demanded that Democratic gubernatorial nominee Matthew Welsh quit “vilifying and slandering” his administration and linking it with Handley’s GOP predecessor, George Craig, said he will urge the legislators next January to consider a jet airport in Lake or Pouter County to tie in with .the seaport which U.S. Army Engineers at Chicago have recommended be built. The jet port and Welsh dominated the news conference. “He (Welsh) talks about the corruption and scandals of the last eight years. Let’s talk about the last four years,” Handley said at a news conference. Handley also announced that a survey will be presented to the next legislature showing the need and value of a jet cargo and industrial airport in the vicinity of the proposed Indiana port on Lake Michigan. Handley not only lambasted Welsh but also the Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. John F. Kennedy. Indiana Aeronautics Commission director Richard Cunningham unveiled a map showing two proposed sites for a jet cargo and industrial airport, one in Lake and .the other in Porter County. Cunningham said the survey made by the "commission shows that more than one site would be available in either county. The commission found that Midway Airport at Chicago cannot handle pure jets without a major expansion program that would be ■hampered by prohibitive land values in the area. O’Hare Field at Chicago win be operating at capacity in 1965, handling passenger traffic only, and Gary Municipal Airport is “hemmed in on all sides by rail and industrial development,” according to the survey. The commission concluded that “all other present airports in the area would require a complete rebuilding in order to serve the need of a jet cargo industrial airport.” Handley said he is not recommending that such an airport be built in either Lake or Porter. But he said he will present the IAC report and feasibility surveys by Purdue and Indiana Universities to the 1961 lawmakers and “will recommend they give the survey serious study.” Handley commented that construction of the port would add to the need for such an airport. A newsman asked if Handley had checked with Sen. Paul Douglas, D-IU., who has spearheaded a fight against .the Hoosier port. “I haven’t asked the senator,” Handley said. “I am trusting that after next Tuesday we will not have to be bothered with him.” Handley launched a strong defense of his own administration. He turned to the newsmen and said “You know you have been free to come into this office and any other state office to examine any public records. If there had been anything wrong in my administration, it would have been in the headlines.” "I wish he (Welsh) would differentiate between eight years and (the last four years,” he said. Handley succeeded Craig during whose term the highway scandals occurred which resulted in conviction of 10 persons on criminal (Continued on page 8)

22 Killed In Airline Crash ' '1

TOLEDO, Ohio (UPI) — Stunned relatives were arriving today to visit — or claim the bodies of — the California Polytechnic j College football players injured or ' killed in the crash of a chartered j airliner bringing them home from Saturday’s game. . Twenty-two persons, including 17 players, were killed when their two-engined C 46 crashed, broke apart and burst into flames moments after taking off in a thick fog Saturday night. Twenty - six persons survived, but all had injuries ranging from minor to critical. A Civil Aeronautics Board Investigator indicated it would be at least several days before a report on the crash is issued. First In History The crash of the Arctic Pacific chartered airliner was the first in 1 history involving a major American sports team. Flames from the front section of the plane shot 300 feet high. Survivors from the tail section heroically did their best to rescue their teammate* but they never bad a chance. Some of the survivors were found wandering 900 feet away, stunned. James Fahey, M. Gilroy, Calif.,, one of the survivors, said he ‘ heard the left engine give out. “I ducked my head and saw flames shoot out,” he said. ‘"Dieri the bottom went over the top. The front hit and then the beck seemed to snap off. With all the flames it seemed just like a paper kite on fire.” Fahey said he unfastened his safety belt. Jumped out and with Don Adams, a guard on the team, started dragging out all the people they could. Coach Among Injured Coach Leroy Hughes, 54, known as the Sly Gray Fox because his teams had scored in all but two games during his 10 years as i coach of the Mustangs, was pinned in the wreckage. Assistant . coach Walter Williamson, himself injured, pulled Hughes out, his , head gashed with a nasty wound. Some of the young men were burned beyond recognition. ] In their game with Bowling Green that afternoon, they had lost, 50-6. Relatives of the players hurried

U. N. Soldiers Move On Kasai

LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (UPD—United Nations reinforcements closed in on southern Province by air, land and water today to wipe out a murderous rampage by thousands of Baluba tribesmen. A show of force by Ghanian U.N. troops with armored cars stopped a drive on the lasai town of Luisa during the weekend and led to the capture of four whites said to have been helping the rebels. One was identified as a Capt. Roberts, said to be a British officer, and the others were reported to be three Belgian businessmen supplying the Balubas with arms. They, were arrested by Liberian U.N. forces at Mwene Dttu, 70 miles northeast of Luisa. U.N. officials in Leopoldville said up to 5,000 Balubas had been terrorizing southern Kasai, killing and beating civilians, including priests and nuns, and burning at I least three villages. . \ 7 The Ghaians brought them up short without firing a shot and were reported to have disarmed many of them, but the U.N. command was taking no chances. Lt. Gen. Andarjit Rikhye, U.N. military advisor in the Congo, said some reinforcements were being flown to the area immediately while 1,000 more Ghanaian troops were en route by river boat •nd 700 Malayan troops were working their way there by land “The United Nations command

PHILADELPHIA <UPI) — Sen. John F. Kennedy derided Vice President Richard M. Nixon’s strategy for peace today by insisting “there is no push-button magic” for averting war. The Democratic Presidential candidate said he is “convinced thait peace can be obtained only through a stronger America —an America in which a strong economy, supporting a strong defensive posture, is manned by a citizenry strong in their sense of purpose. . But he said Nixon’s “grand strategy is to create a series of committees, conferences, councils and good will tours.” "The next war may be started and won by merely pushing a button — but there is no pushbutton magic for winning the peace,” Kennedy said. Fourth Straight Day The Democratic standard-bearer spoke out in a speech prepared for delivery while motorcading (through Philadelphia in his fourth consecutive day of bidding for Pennsylvania’s important 32 electoral votes. He bad a busy day of campaigning scheduled in Pennsylvania’s largest city, a Democratic stronghold whose votes must offset those. of Republicandominated areas if Kennedy is to carry the Keystone State. Kennedy had some reassurance in that direction Sunday attracting large and enthusiastic crowds in populous north and northeast Philadelphia on his way to and from a rally at Levittown in nearby Bucks County, Pa. State police estimated some 30,000 people turned out for Kennedy’s appearance at a shopping center in Levittown —a figure which probably was high but a crowd which was peppy and large despite Kennedy’s lateness of three hours. Text Contains Pledge Kennedy concentrated on the issue of unemployment at Levittown, where a number.of workers ait the U.S. Steel Corporation’s nearby Fairless Works reside. But he failed actually to utter the major campaign pledge set forth in a prepared text released to newsmen. This pledge, which aides stressed that he stands by, was to set a “full employment” goal of 82 million Jobs by 1968 if he is elected president eight days from now. The current number of jobs is something in excess of 68 million and Kennedy's target figure would mean leaving only a bare minimum of 2 to 3 per cent of the working force unemployed. “I have no doubt that the met! of little faith' who lead the Republican party will criticize this goal as Utopian and unrealistic,” Kennedy declared in his unspoken Levittown text. “Such criticism comes easily to a party whose candidate has said that ‘unemployment is inevitable’. A party which has allowed the unemployment rate to soar to 5.7 per cent —a party which has presided over a continual deMrs. Dale R. Riley Dies Early Sunday Mrs. Alma Riley, 62, of Decatur route 3, died at 2 o’clock Sunday morning at the St. Joseph’s hospital in Fort Wayne.

cline in our rate of economic growth,” Kennedy said. At a television studio in the city, Kennedy appeared before a panel of interviewers and suggested that one “economic judgment” he might make if a recession developed would be to propose "a (tax cut for a period of four or five months.” Warn On Deluge 01 Hate Literature WASHINGTON (UPI) -The chairman of the Fair Campaign Practices Committee has urged voters to beware a deluge of “hate literature” directed at both presidential candidates in the final week of the election campaign. Charles P. Taft—mayor of Cincinnati. a son of President William Howard Taft and brother of the late Sen. Robert Taft, R-Ohio, who started the committee in 1954 —said Sunday night the public should carefully weigh such items for their fact content. He also said newspapers "must be very doubtful about the kind of things that are not brought up until the last four or five days, because these are likely to be things that could be answered, but in the short time, you can’t do it.” “Hate-mongers” and “religious bigots” have been responsible for . circulating the smear literature. ,he said, rather than political I leaders. He said both Kennedy and Nixi on have made a point of disown- > ing such material which was “out- ' standing and should be repudiated.” But he added “both parties were a little slow to repudi- • ate those persons whose actions ■ were complained about.” > ’ $45,000 Stolen From » Ocean Liner's Safe 1 SOUTH HAMPTON, England * (UPI) — A thief stole $45,000 in cash from the purser’s safe during the ocean liner United States’ f voyage from New York, it was . disclosed Sunday.

<— Question 11 Cubfifa Seeking U.S. Asylum MIAMI <UPD—lmmigration gathorities today questioned 11 Cubans who sought political asylum after a gun battle aboard their plane in which a guard was killed and toe pilot, co-pilot, and a 14-year-old boy Were wounded. The plane, a twin-engine airliner owned by Aerovias Q Airlines, landed at Key West Saturday. Twenty-seven of toe 38 persons aboard returned to Cuba later. Edward P. Ahrens, district U.S. immigration supervisor, said copilot Gabriel Arrasco and eight passengers had plotted to commandeer the aircraft after it took off from Havana for toe Isle of Pines, a Cuban-owned island lying about 35 miles off the south coast of Cuba. The Cuban government has made a practice of putting armed guards aboard commercial aircraft to stop defections. Ahrens said toe plot was put into operation about 10 minutes after the plane was airborne. “The co-pilot jumped out of his seat, grabbed the guard and put a run in the pilot’s back,” Ahrens said. "At that time the pilot was wounded in toe arm but he kept control of the plane and headed ; for Key West. i Halloween Parade Here This Evening The annual Halloween parade, . sponsored by toe Decatur Chamber . of Commerce, will be held here . tonight, scheduled to start promptly at 7 o’clock. i The Callitoumpian will form at the county jail yard on South First street, move north on Second to Marshall street, east to First, south to Jackson, west to Second and south on Second to pass be- ( fore the judge's stands for the ( second time.

a festive ticker-tape welcome. There are other aspects of the New York visit. The President has agreed to stump the suburbs with Nixon by helicopter Wednesday. They will travel with Lodge and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller to Westchester and Nassau counties by helicopter, landing after their chopper-stop tour at the Battery to begin the motorcade up Broadway. More Than Expected This is more than Eisenhower undertook for his own presidential candidacy during his second term race in 1956. This is more than most of his friends and political associates, including Nixon, expected from the President a month or six weeks ago. The Nixon camp, preparing for the torrid week that will take the candidate from coast to coast, > was overjoyed by f the way in which the President tore into Sen. John F. ‘ Kennedy on television last Friday night. And the President. himself, was described as ’Having abandoned any idea of limited participation in the closing phases of the campaign. ‘ New York state is one of toe critical big ones for, Nixon and he will campaign in upstate New York around Syracuse and Rochester Tuesday afternoon after morning visits to Erie and Lancaster, Pa. He will spend Tuesday night in Brooklyn. There has been some discussion, but no known decision yet, of Eisenhower hitting toe upstate New York areas with the vice president The high command of the GOP campaign also wants Eisenhower to appear late this week, probably .Friday, in Illinois, Ohio and Michigan.
