THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIAN.

Candidates For Governor Lash At Opponents By United Press International Indiana’s Republican and Democratic candidates for governor | headed into their last week of campaigning today after weekend attacks on each other. Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker charged that his rival, Matt 1 Welsh, the Democrat, had taken a sudden interest in state problems which he had previously ignored in the legislature. Welsh charged that Parker wanted to turn the Indiana State Police into “a superstate political gestapo.” Parker said at a Noble County rally at Albion that Welsh now acts interested in many problems he ignored as a state senator. He called Welsh's record one of “absenteeism.” Parker, in reviewing Welsh's' record, said he failed to vote on many important bills, voted against some issues that he now supports and in some cases ■ merely stayed out of the legislative chambers when the vote was taken on a hot issue. Welsh said Parker wanted to turn the Indiana State Police into a gestapo. and to his knowledge “this is the most direct repudiation of home rule that any Indiana state official has ever made.” Welsh said the responsibility for local law enforcement rests with local people. Welsh said the Parker proposal to send state police into areas j where local authorities did not en- ' force the law was also an attempt jto obscure the real basis of law enforcement. The candidates for lieutenant governor also campaigned during the weekend. Richard Ristine. the Republican, told a rally in Huntington County that “good Republican government is evident in Indiana.” I Earl Utterback, the Democrat, ; told a rally at Corydo that his i party’ believes the state “should” I assume its fair share of the cost of schools by substantially increasing the state distribution of funds to local school districts.

IJJ- IflUr k .?*. Central Soya’s new outdoor bean storage is being put to good use this year as one of the best soybean crops in recent years moves from the farm to country elevators to processing plants. Blessed with a dry harvesting season and a price attractively above support price level, marketings have been unusually heavy and concentrated. All previous records for daily receipts and unloadings have been broken within the past two weeks, according to Tom Allwein, manager of Central Soya’s Decatur plant. Allwein said that the new outdoor bean storage space, “has enabled us to stay in the market for a substantially larger number of new crop beans than we were previously able to handle.”
