Election Contest Up To Legislature

CROWN POINT. Ind. circuit count judge has tossed to the Indiana General Assembly the question of whether Gov.-elect Matthew WelsOir the man certified as loser. Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker, should be the next Indiana chief ’executive. Lake Circuit Court Judge J'elix Kaul ruled late. Tuesday that a contested eleqtton for state office i must be decided by the Legisla-1 tore in accordance with a 1951 j Indiana Supreme Court decision. | The 1951 decision favored Ed- i win .Beaman, now Republican; State Chairman, who at the time I was a 'State senator. This time. the decision favored the Democrats, since at resulted in dis missal of a .petition filed for Parker seeking a recount of the Lake County vote for governor. Parker lost .the election, accord; ing so certified resuMs, by only 25.000 votes and in Lake County alone his margin of defeat was 60.000 votes. KSkil also dismissed the petition of Gen. Edwin K. Steers to examine ithe precinct voter lists and acquitted two members of the Lake County Board of Rzgirt ration who had been charged with contempt of court. After the court's rulings,«-which' followed arguments between attorneys for Parker and for Welsh over the legal procedure for a gubernatorial recount, Theodore L. Sendak. Crown Point attorney representing Parker, indicated a further move might be made before the Legislature convenes Jan 5. The Legislature will be politically divided, with the House heavily-controlled by the GOP and the Senate narrowly Democratic. A major worry of the Parker forces is .the fact that 30 days after election. voting machines may be cleared unless a recount has been ordered.

Darling, Republican, for county recorder which Butz won. At last report, 50 of the 429 voting machines to be inspected had been checked by the recount L commission. » The contempt of court charges related to a Nov. 22 order impounding - registration records. The original contempt charge had been directed only at the Republican member of the registration •board, Charles B. McCord. But Kaul had broadened the matter to include also the Democratic member. Anthony E. Dobbs, Jr. The registration records had been partially examined by a deputy attorney general, John E. I Hirschman, which Kaul held was ‘ in violation of his Nov. 22 order, .Hirschman maintained at the j hearing that he believed the records were open to him under the Hughes anti-seorecy law. Kaul ruled Tuesday afternoon that there’had been no intended contempt bf his Nov. 22 order and the charges wete, dropped. ■ North Vernon Man Is Appointed By Welsh, INDIANAPOLIS (UPU — Gov.elect Matthew E.

Answering newsman’s queStions, I Hodges said Kennedy gave ho in- ; dication that he intended to make ■ any cabinet appointment announcements today. The governor said he and Ken- ' nedy talked over possible appoint--1 ments for key posts in the dei partment involving public infor- [ mation and international trade. Meanwhile, it was learned that the Kennedy administration plans to assign a high priority to boost--1 ing American exports in an effort to stem the drain on U.S. dollars and gold. Such a policy would give new importance to Hodges’ role and require him to work closely with the secretaries of state and treasury.

Ford President Is Defense Secretary WASHINGTON (UPD — Robert — r ~— r

Strange McNamara gave up a huge annual salary as president of Ford Motor Co. and wall dispose of 51.6 million worth of stocks so he can become defense secretary in the Kennedy administration. _ / The cabinet post will pay him $25,000 a year for running & military establish ment so big that its annual outlays for weapons, material and services aye estimated at more than three times the combined buying volume of Ford, General Electric and U.S. Steel. In “subordinating personal considerations” to accept the appointment from President - elect John F. Kennedy Tuesday, the 44-year-old McNamara estimated the job would cost him $3 million in profits over the next three or four yeans. Will Remain Millionaire That is how much he though*, he would have realized from increases in value of the 24.250 shares of Fond stock he now owns, the 30,000 he has options to buy and the 100 shares of Scott Paper Co. he holds. He now must divest himself of .the lot. He still will be a millionaire, of course. McNamara, elected Ford president only five Weeks ago, also is giving up his $400,000 annual income of salary and bonuses from the motor firm. His case is similar to the situation which confronted General Motors President Charles E. Wilson when he became defense secretary in 1953. Wilson was forced by the Senate, under the conflict of interest laws, to divest himself of his huge General Motors holdings. It later was estimated .that Wilson gave up something like $4 milhon td^be'dTfClkte smubary. Mother Not Surprised McNamara's mother said in Oakland, Calif., that she was not surprised her son had made a great financial sacrifice to accept the cabinet post. Mrs. R.J. McNamara said. “Us has done things like this all ins life. For instance, when he was in graduate school at Harvard he tore up all the checks I sent him. I knew be was having a hard time getting along with the salary he was .getting but he never cashed a check I sent him.” She added, ‘‘When there i 9 something to be done, he never rests until it is done. He drives himself 24 hours a day.” When he takes over the staggering and unfamiliar duties of defense secretary in January, Me Na mana will have plenty of rear-

son to “drive himself.” He will be beseiged immediately with crucial military problems. . Defense Second To None Kennedy is firmly committed to several specific actions aimed at insuring a “defense second to none.” J ; These actions, promised in the campaign for attention in January, range from overhauling the Defence Department’s “creaking” machinery to enlarging and modernizing the ground forces to speeding up (ballistic missile prochxi',lcnv. How. well MaNamaira will fare tCMhe helm of the defense establishment remains to be seen. He served with distinction as a junior officer in supply and fiscal jobs in World War II and on this record was (hired by Henry Ford II in 1945. A meteoric rise followed. He was elected Ford president ta«.t month. Ike Is In Hospital On Regular Checkup WASHINGTON (UPD — President Eisenhower jwas in Walter Reed Army hospital today undergoing a series of tests to complete the second half of his an'nual physical checkup. The 70-year-old Chief Executive, oldest president ever to serve, entered the hospital Tues* day night to finish /the last head-to-toe physical 'examination he will undergo while in the White Houser ’ H€ was pronounced in “continued excellent” health following the first half of the tests Sept. 15-16. White House press secretary James C. Hagerty said the final series had been put off three months because the President has been “fairly busy” in the interval. Eisenhower was expected to remain at Walter Reed until sometime Thursday afternoon, occupying the same top-floor presidential suite he used during his intestinal 'ileitis) operation in 1956. Hagerty emphasized that Eisenhower was not ailing and had no symptoms of illness. If you have something to sen or trade — use the Democrat Want Ads! They get Big results.
