Challenges To The New Frontier President-elect Kennedy will be met as he starts his new administration with some very big problems. He has already taken some steps to solve these problems by his appointments to the cabinet; some of the problems will have to be worked out by the new team. Business, which originally took a dim view of the Massachusetts senator, is now looking on him more and more favorably. The Secretary of Labor to-be, Arthur J. Goldberg, has already made some favorable impressions on the heads of the American Manufacturers Association and the United States Chamber of Commerce. He has definitely stated that his main concern is to get the economy of the United States back in high gear, and he realizes that to do this, business and manufacturers must also prosper. So, one of the first challenges will be to put our economy back in top shape. So far, it appears that the new administration hopes to do this through government encouragement and interest, as opposed to the pre-sup-posed government intervention that was accused of planning. The second major challenge will be of an entirely different sort. It will be the question of Laos in particular, and all foreign dealings in general. So far, the foreign department of the State Department has been informed that they will not have blanket expense accounts. It is hoped that the same will include the foreign aid branch. There is nothing wrong with aiding a country financially, if that aid is appreciated, or at least put to good use. If it is merely to bulge the coffers of a few already wealthy persons, then it is wasted. Laos poses a major challenge. If the country is lost to communism, then the administration will be accused of ignoring the situation. If it takes fighting to keep it from going communistic, and that fighting is already underway, then Kennedy will be accused of getting into a war. And if both can be averted, it will be a considerable tribute to the administration and the men in the State Department. Thus, 1961 promises to be interesting right from the start. There are problems on every hand. Possibly, there are solutions. It appears that the domestic puzzlers are closer, to being answered than the foreign ones. But America has the encouragement that the new administration is being populated by men who seem more interested in tasks than titles.

Two Terre Haute youths, Roy Pruett, 20, and Pamela J. Clinkenbeard, 16, were killed Sunday when a car driven by Pruett crashed into a New York Central Railroad train at a crossing in Terre Haute. The first traffic fatality of the new year in Indiana apparently was James Lloyd Rader, 27, Delphi. Rader was killed when his car collided with another on icy Indiana 25 near Delphi early Sunday. 3 Die In Finale A one-car crash just northwest of Gary Saturday night killed three persons to close out 1960 on a final, somber note.

A man was killed Saturday when his car collided with a big truck on U.S. 20 near Chesterton. He was John Patrick Merjeski, 27, R.R. 2, Chesterton. Apparently the first fatality of the weekend was Russell McCalla, 60, Earl Park, who was killed Friday night when his car collided with two military trucks at the intersection of U.S. 41 and U.S. 52 near Earl Park, Tthe death of Walter B. Bradford, 55, Bremen, Monday, at Bremen Community Hospital from injuries he received New Year’s Eve shot the 1960 count to at least 1,116. This was nine fewer than the 1,125 killed during 1959. However, when 1959 ended, the toll stood at 1,114. Eleven traffic fatalities were added to the year’s toll as a result of the deaths in 1960 of persons injured in 1959.
