Kennedy Fires Back At Nixon

EN ROUTE WITH KENNEDY <UPD—Sen. John F. Kennedy made a final one-day invasion of the Southwest today with a scoffing counter-attack at Vice President Richard M. Nixon's charge that he had told a “bare-faced lie” about the GOP’s record. Campaigning in Arizona, New ■Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma, the Democratic presidential candidate swung back to a direct assault on Nixon, after winding up a two-day tour of California with a climactic cold war proposal. In a speech to a capacity crowd of 15,000 at the Cow Palace in San Francisco Wednesday night, Kennedy called for creation of a volunteer "peace corps” of talented Young men who could serve three years in underdeveloped countries as “an alternative for peace-time Selective Service.” Kennedy said these suggested “ambassadors of peace” also would be recruited from “among talented young women as wetland from every race and walk of life.” General Suggests Plan Aides for the presidential candidate said the “peace corps” idea came originally from retired Gen. James Gavin, former head of Army research and development. Gavin, one of Kennedy’s advisers on defense matters, critizied the administration’s military program after leaving the service. According to the aides, Gavin was among the first to discuss the "peace corps” idea with the senator, and was the piime mover for the suggestion. The Cow Palace was filled to capacity two hours before Kennedy made his appearance. Several thousand persons stormed and broke down the wire mesh gales outside the huge auditorium, and locked doors were broken. Today, in remarks prepared for 4 delivery at Albuquerque, N.M., Kennedy returned to more partisan domestic ground by recalling that Nixon accused him of a barefaced lie in having said the Republicans always had opposed Social Security. “Having seen him close-up—and made-up —for our television debates, I would never accuse Mr. Nixon of being bare-faced," Kennedy said. "But I think the American people next Tuesday can best determine who is lying and? who is telling the truth.” Recites Record Kennedy again lengthily recited the GOP’s history on Social Security legislation, starting in 1935 when “Franklin Roosevelt first asked for a Social Security bill (and) 90 per cent of the Republicans voted against it." “Mr. Nixon may convince the voters to ignore party labels,” Kennedy said. “But he can hardly expect .them to ignore party records—and the Republican party record is one of consistent opposition to Social Security." Kennedy said "This is not what Mr. Nixon calls ’a vicious rumor’ —this is the Republican record.” “He is stuck with it in this election," 'Kennedy added. “And no amount of personal abuse can cover up the reactionary history of the party he truly represents.” Kennedy’s Albuquerque appear-

ance at the University of New Mexico stadium was his second scheduled stop in an effort to recapture a combined total of 40 electoral votes which went to the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket in 1952 and 1956. City's Community Fund Is Under Goal Collections for the Decatur Community Fund now stand at $15,706, or two-thirds of the needed amount to meet the proposed budgets of the nine participating agencies, totaling $23,424. While many individuals have given more than they did last year, there are many who either declined to donate, or have not as yet been contacted. Industrial collections are generally up over last year. The Decatur G.E. and the Bag Service Inc., are two of the larger industrial firms reporting that are well ahead of last year’s contributions. Donations from the Bag Service were almost 100 per cent above last year. One major industry in the city has made a partial report, and the final total will be forthcoming soon. The following figures show the proposed "budget for each agency for the coming year, and the amount the agency will have to operate on with the existing donations: American Field Service, $2,000 - $1,340; Crippled Children Society, $1,200 - $800; Boy Scouts, $3,340 - $2,227; Girl Scouts. $2,525 - $1,682; Salvation Army, $1,320 - $880; U. 5.0., $513 - $342; Mental Health, SBSO - $567: Youth and recreation, $5,000 - $3,350; Red Cross, $5,876 - $3,917; operation fund, SSOO - $335; contingency fund S3OO - S2OO. It has been pointed out that Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, cities that have over a million dollars to raise, have already done so. and that Auburn has raised $28,000 for the operation of the YMCA alone. Shaffer Infant Dies At Birth At Hospital ' Donald Wayne Shaffer, son of Donald and Carolyn Miller-Shaffer, 712 Line street, died at birth at 8 o’clock this morning at the Adams county memorial hospital. Surviving in addition to the parents are the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Shaffer of Decatur, and Mr. and Mrs. Nevin Miller of Decatur route 3. The parents are members of the Mt. Pleasant Methodist church. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at the Gillig & Doan funeral home, the Rev. ' George Christian officiating. Burial will be in the Decatur cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home after 10 a.m. Friday.

Open House At Decatur High Friday Hight The annual open house of the Decatur high school will be held Friday evening, Hugh J. Andrews, principal, announced today. The open house, an annual feature of national education week, will open at 7:30 o’clock with a program by the school’s music departments. The program will open with a brief welcoming address by the principal. The freshman-sophomore chorus will sing two spirituals, “Jacob’s Ladder” and “Little David Play on Your Harp.” The high school choir will present two numbers, “O Brother Man,” by Ringwaldi and “Colorado Trail,” a cowboy folk song. “September Song,” by Weil, will be sung by the girls’ double trio, followed by selections from “The Sound of Music,” RodgersWarnick, by the school choir. Miss Helen Haubold is director of the vocal music department, and accompanists will be Misses Barbara Harden and Cheryl Bollenbacher. The 45-minute program will conclude with three selections played by the high school band, directed by Clint Reed. The bond offerings will be “Andante and March” from Symphony No. 5, Tschaikowsky; ‘‘Forgotten Dreams,” Leroy Anderson, and selections from “'Die Music Man,” by Willson. Visit Class Rooms Following the program, the parents of students and others interested will visit the class rooms to learn more of the schedule followed by their children. All teachers will be present in their rooms to outline the children’s studies and to discuss curriculum and other matters with the parents. The principal’s office will also be open during the open house for basketball fans to obtain their season tickets for the Yellow Jackets’ 1960-61 schedule, which opens with a home game with the Adams Central Greyhounds Friday, Nov. 18. The observance of national education week is scheduled for next week, but with the schools closed Friday, Nov. 11, because of Veterans Day, the open house was advanced one week this year. Finch-Tregoff Jury Poll Likely Today

LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The jury considering the fate of Carole Tregoff and Dr. R. Bernard Finch is hung at 9-3 in favor of convicting both of them, a high court official said today. The information came from a high placed official who declined to be identified. Judge Leroy Dawson indicated he might poll the jury of 11 women and 1 man some-, time today. Deliberations in the murder retrial of the lovers have now passed the 52-hour mark, surpassing by more than 10 hours the point at which the first jury decided it could not decide on their guilt or innocence. Dawson told the jury Wednesday he regarded the case as one “in which I think you should be able to reach a verdict.” The panel at* day’s end had weighed the fate of Dr. R. Bernard Finch, 43, and Carole Tregoff, 23, for 51 hours and 50 minutes with no sign of an outcome in the 19-week-old trial. The illicit lovers are accused of murdering Finch’s wife, Barbara, 33, on July 18, 1959. Dawson said earlier he would poll the jury today if there were no verdict, stating he would ask the talismen how they stood numerically without reference to guilt or innocence. The panel was ushered into the Hall of Justice courtroom to hear Dawson answer five questions they had asked of him. The judge continued on page three 403 Absentee Ballots Applied For Here County clerk Richard Lewton has revealed that a total of 403 absentee ballots have been sent out, or will be sent, for the coming election Tuesday. Lewton stated there will probably be a few more people register before Friday. “The number is undoubtedly a record,” Lewton explained, “as the number 400 exceeds any totals of past elections.” A total of 301 of the ballots have already been returned to the clerk’s office. For the last election, which was held two years ago, slightly over 200 absentee ballots were sent out.

Dream Satellite Hurled Into Orbit, 12th Success Os Year By United States

Welsh Hits GOP Welfare Program

By United Press International - Democratic gubernatorial nominee Martthew E. Welsh and his Republican opponent, Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker, catered to party rallies in Northeastern Indiana Wednesday night,, each bearing down on much the same pattern seen earlier in the campaign. Welsh told a rally at Albion the Handley - Parker administration has ignored the “problem” of welfare programs to disabled adults. He said the administration “refusal to help” disabled adults “not only deprived them of much needed assistance, but, also made necessary the continued expenditure of many thousands of dollars from property tax receipts.” Parker said at a rally at Fort Wayne that Welsh is resorting to “hundreds of wild charges, lies, innuendos and generalized accusations” to try to win the election. Welsh said there are other health and welfare programs the Republican administration had failed to promote, but the “needs of the disabled adults of this state are among the most pressing of these problems.” Federal Matching Funds “Under Title XIV of the Social Security Aat, federal matching funds are available to any stoke Which works out an approved plan for helping needy disabled adults,” Welsh said. ‘"Die administration of such a plan in Indiana would, as in other public assistance programs, be vested in the county welfare departments.” He said aid from the program would provide assistance for physically and mentally disabled adults—persons who are unable to work and many of whom are unable to care for themselves due to heart diseases, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and other types of disabling conditions. “The refusal of aid to disabled adults is only one of several instances in which the present and preceding Republican administrations have capriciously refused to cooperate in federal programs,” Welsh charged. a Parker took issue with several of Welsh’s "accusations” during the campaign by saying when Welsh discredits the Republicans, he also discredits many leaders in his own party. “He forgets,” Parker said, “that the present secretary of state, the state auditor, the state ■treasurer and the minority mem-

UN Criticizes Belgian Moves

UNITED NATIONS (UPli—The United Nations today sharply criticized attempts of Belgian nationals to take over in the Congo and said normal political life can be restored there only if the Congolese army is brought under control and “other lawless elements” subdued. Secretary - General Dag Hammarskjold made public a report from Rajeshwar Dayal of India, the top UJ4. official in the Congo. Dayal was on his way here, summoned by Hammarskjold for consultations on the latest Congolese crisis. The General Assembly is scheduled to begin debate on the Congo next Monday. The report, made available to the assembly menibers, said there was increasing evidence of the return of Belgian nationals, most of whom fled the country during and after the army mutiny which followed the Congo’s attainment of independence from Belgium last June 30. “Unfortunately,” it said, “there has been a substantial incursion of those (Belgian) elements which appear to seek a dominating influence in the councils of adminnical assistance and influence. “Some Belgian nationals are believed to have been actively arm--1 ing separatist Congolese forces, and, in some cases, Belgian of-

ber of the State Highway Commission are all key members of this administration and all Democrats.” “Have any of these Democrat or bi-partisan officials made one single accusation of corruption against the present Republican administration?” Parker asked. “They have not and Welsh knows it,” he charged. “But he declines to admit it, hoping to make his phony charges stick long enough to deceive the electorate on Nov. 8.” Hartke Continues Campaign Sen. Vance Hartke continued his campaign for Democrats in his home state Wednesday night , at Muncie. Hartke said if Welsh is elected his administration will go “to work on problems and will bring benefits for the taxes that Hoosiers pay. ; >. Paraphrasing an advertisement, Hartke said, “Are you paying more taxes, but enjoying it less? Then you should vote for Welsh.” “We will bring back responsible, dedicated and honest people to srtate government with Welsh as [ governor,” Hartke asserted. Republican nominee for lieuten- > ant governor Richard Ristine cont tinued his campaign efforts at [ ROunt Vernon, outlining three . reasons why “Indiana can move 1 ahead.” He said the reasons were that > “we have a debt-free state, with a healthy surplus in the treasi ury, we have and will elect Re- ■ publicans in state and local offices [ who are friendly to free enter- , prise” and solid progress is “vir- . tually assured by a central tocation and a rich and varied farm . hinterland, plus the enormous ■ transport advantages of the Ohio River and the St. Lawrence Sea1 way.” : INDIANA WEATHER Fair tonight.

ficers have directed and led such forces which, in certain areas, have been responsible for brutal and oppressive acts of violence. "Advisers of Belgian nationality have been returning to governmental ministries both in Leopoldville and in the provinces, partially through what seems to be an organized recruiting campaign in Belgium. The Assembly’s Main Political Committee pressed on with its disarmament debate, scheduling three meetings today, including a night session. There still were some 25 delegates waiting to speak in the general debase on disarmament before the 99-nation committee can get down tb discussing specific resolutions awaiting its action. 1 Hammarskjold was believed to have summoned Dayal to report on the reappearance of Belgian nationals, said to be taking a major pant in the Congo's developments. But Dayal also was expected to discuss at length with Hammarskjold plans to send a 15-nation Afro-Asian committee to the Congo to seek conciliation among political factions headed by leftist Premier Patrice Lumumba, proWestern President Joseph KasavWbu and army strong man Col. Joseph Mobutu.

CAPE CANAVERAL (UPD— The United States hurled a “scientist’s dream” satellite into orbit for its 12th space success of 1960 early today. The complicated, 90-pound Explorer VIII -satellite is designed to investigate the mysteries of an unpredictable *(>.t om i c roof” known as the ionosphere—layers of ions that make long-range radio and television communications either possible or Impossible on earth. Its findings in a wide-swinging orbit may lead to improvements in radio equipment for earth stations. Scientists also hoped it would find a “window” through the ionosphere for communications into space free of interference. Launched Smoothly The launching of the silvery satellite, shaped like a child’s top, went like clockwork. The brainy little instrument roared aloft right on schedule atop a 76foot Juno II rocket at 12 24 a.m., EST, and three minutes later the Army tracking station at Ft. Monmouth, N.J., picked up its “high-pitched, whining” signal. Two hours later the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced in Washington that the satellite, one of the most complex space experiments tried this year, was in orbit. Its task is a delight for scientists but a bewildering puzzle for the average television viewer who may wonder why his TV picture is brilliant one day and fuzzy the next. Scientists explained that the ionosphere is made up of atoms of atmosphere stripped of their electron coats by ultra-violet rays from the sun. These ion masses form an electronic net which 'bounces long TV and radio waves back to earth but lets the short waves through. Speed Changes Action But when the ions pick up speed for some reason they tend to absorb radio waves rather than bounce them back. Scientists hope to find out why these “absorption” changes happen. They armed Explorer VII with eight complex experiments to—in effect — “punch holes” in the ionosphere to find its weak and strong points and the reasons why they change. It might present a real radio breakthrough. The satellite carries one radio transmitter operating on 108 megacycles. It is powered by mercury batteries with a life span of only two to three months so that the radio will not continue to chatter away after its usefulness Is outlived. NASA estimated the satellite was circling the earth once every 112 minutes — swinging in at its closest point about 215 miles out, and swinging out as far as 1,450 (Continued on page 8)

Friends may call at the Zwick funeral home after 7 p. m. Friday. The body will lie in state at the church from 12 noon Sunday until time of the services.

Nobel Prizes For U. S. Scientists

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UPD — The Nobel Prize for physics and ' chemistry were awarded today to two American atomic scientists in California— Professors Donald A. Glaser and Willard F. Libby. Glaser, a bachelor who is a talented musician and athlete, won the physics prize for his invention of the “bubble chamber”—a sort of Window to the atom. He is 34 years old and currently is at the University of California at Berkeley. Libby, 51, a former member of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, was the chemistry winner. He devised the “atomic time clock”—a method of dating organic matter through radioactivity that has enabled scientists to tell the age of such things as the Dead Sea scrolls. Libby also developed tritium, a radioactive hydrogen isotope, as a tracer for meteorological and geophysical processes. The two men were the first Americans to win Nobel Prizes this year. Earlier awards —• for medicine and literature—went to an Australian, an Englishman and a Frenchman. “Delighted and Surprised” Glaser, reached at Berkeley, said he was “delighted and surprised” although he had not been notified officially. He had been named one of the 10 outstanding young men at 1958 by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce and developed his bubble chamber despite skepticism of many other scientists. The discovery, now in wide use, enabled scientists to mass produce photographs showing what happens during the process of atom smashing. Libby has been close to the United States atomic program since World War II when he helped determine how to separate explosive uranium 235 from uranium 239. He was the first scientist member of the AEC and served in that capacity from 1954 to 1959 when he went to UCLA. The Swedish Academy of Science specified that the award was for “his method of using carbon 14 for age determination in archeology, geology, geophysics and other branches of science” rather than his AEC work. An Accurate Method Libby determined that carbon from living matter has a specific activity of disintegration per minute for each gram of carbon. From this he was able to devise an accurate method of dating prehistoric samples. Libby was born Dec. 17, 1908, on a farm in New Grand Valley, Colo. He received his bachelor degree in 1991 and Ph.D. in 1933 from the University of California at Berkeley. During World War II he worked on the top secret “Manhattan Project” which Mfcreloped the atomic bomb. In 1943 he became professor of chemistry at the University of Chicago and served in that capacity until his appointment to the AEC in 1954. Glaser, born in Cleveland, Ohio, of Russian-born parents, is an accomplished athlete and musician. He played the violin for the Cleve-

Wins Many Awards ft Glaser’s career hes been’outstanding and be has won numerous awards in recognition of his work. But his most brilliant achievement that brought him-the Nobel Prize was one that he started with 85 worth of equipment and six bottles of beer. It gave new insight into the forces of nature. Glaser started work on his bubble chamber project in 1952 and the first major professional publication of his findings was issued in the January, 1955, issue of the Physical Review. He is one of the youngest scientists ever to win a Nobel Prize and was the first American to be awarded one this year. Earlier awards—for medicine and literature—went to an Australian, an Englishman and a Frenchman. Shortly after fucking Glaser, the Swedish Academy of Science resumed its meeting to select the chemistry winner. An award of $43,825 goes with a Nobel Prize. Professor at 31 Glaser graduated from Case Ini stitute of Technology in Cleveland in 1946 and received Ms Ph D. ► from the California Institute of I Technology in 1950. » He taught at the University of Michigan from 1949 to 1959.

The bubble chamber is filled . with a dense, clear, super-heated gas placed in the path of speeding atom particles which are accelerated by powerful atom smashers. When particles fly through the fluid they leave trails of tiny bubbles. If they strike and shatter atoms in the fluid, this also leaves special trails which can be photographed. The pictures give a good idea about the nature of the atom nucleus and the forces holding it together. * ■•< * Three Changes In Voting Precincts County auditor Edward Jaberg has announced three changes in voting precincts for Tuesday’s election.
