Castro Launches Drive On Church

HAVANA (UPI)--Premier Fidel Castro’s militia was reported today to have moved in on half a dozen Roman Catholic institutions starting what may prove to be a major offensive against the church. Castroite militiawomen closed the printing plant of the Catholic bi-weekly Quincena, the last publication in Cuba that had dared criticized the government, and posted guards at the Salesian Convent that housed it. The nuns were not molested. The militia also occupied the downtown headquarters of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic laymen’s lodge, and the Catholic Workers’ Association. Seize Seminaries Reports from the provinces said militia detachments had seized seminaries at Calvario and Santiago de las Vegas. Reports that at least five priests bad been arrested could not be confirmed immediately. The militia invoked the emergency powers granted it as part of the cunrent “invasion” scare. Castro alerted the militia over the weekend, charging that a U.S. attack on Cuba was "imminent.” Thursday, Castro forces emplaced howitzers and anti-tank and antiaircraft guns along Havana’s Mafront drive. Second "Invasion” Scare It was the second time in barely two months that Castro had started talk of an American “invasion” of Cuba. In Washington, Rep. Victor Anfuso, D-N.Y. charged Thursday night that the recent intensification of Castro’s hate-America campaign, which led Tuesday to a break in U.S.-Cuban relations, was designed to cover up the installation of Russian missiles on secret launching pads in Cuba. (Anfuso based his charge on information supplied by Cuban refugees. (US. officials were inclined to discount Anfuso’s charge, saying it appeared to have been “planted” by Castroite to lend credence to the "invasion” talk.) State Traffic Toll Increased Thursday United Press International Indiana’s 1961 traffic death toll climbed Thursday to at least 10 and possibly 11. The death of George Miller, 54, Hammond, injured fatally in that city when he was hit by a truck driven by Michael Danko, 58, Hammond, was Lake County’s first death of the year. But authorities were not certain whether to count the death of Clyde Lawrence, 51, Mitchell, as occurring in traffic. Lawrence was killed when his truck was hit by a railroad train near Wheatland. The accident happened just off U.S. 50 at the entrance to a private road running to the White Ash coal mine. Authorities may have to get a tape measure to determine whether the collision occurred on a public or private portion of the point where the railroad tracks, highway and mine roads come together. State police do not class as traffic fatalities any motor vehicle deaths occurring in private lanes, roads or driveways. Regardless of whether the toll is 10 or 11 for this year, the figure is below that of a year ago when 17 deaths had been recorded by Jan. 6. The majority of the fatalities thus far have occurred in Southern Indiana, which normally produces no more than 25 to 35 per cent of the deaths in traffic. Thus far, two double-fatality accidents have occurred in Shelby and Vigo Counties and single-fa-tality accidents in Martin and Lawrence Counties. That total of six s two greater than the four deaths occurring in Lake, Steuben, Carroll and Allen Counties in the north.

Three Firms Are Charged With Monopoly WASHINGTON (UPI)--The government today charged three firms with conspiring to monopolize the printing and sale of Sunday newspaper color comic supplements. Named in a civil suit filed in Buffalo, N.Y., were Greater Buffalo Press, Inc., of Buffalo, the Hearst Corp, of New York; and Newspaper Enterprise Association of Cleveland, Ohio. The Greater Buffalo was described as the foremost color printer of Sunday newspaper supplements in the United States. Hearst Corp, operates King Features Syndicate Newspaper Enterprise Association is a subsidiary of E.W. Scripp Co., Inc., of Cincinnati. The government suit charged that many newspapers in the United States have been denied the advantages of competitive bidding for the printing of their newspaper color supplements because of an alleged conspiracy among the defendants not to compete. It said that since 1954 the three firms have accounted for approximately 80 per cent of the Sunday color supplement business valued at about $28 million a year. The antitrust action seeks a decree which would bar the practices changed by the Justice Department. It also seeks a decree to compel Greater Buffalo to divest itself of three subsidiaries. These subsidiaries, also named in the suit, are International Color Printing Co., Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; Southwest Color Printing Corp., Lufkin, Tex.; and the Dixie Color Printing Corp., Sylacauga, Ala. King Features and Newspaper Enterprise were changed in one specific intance with elling their comic feature at discounts to newspapers agreeing not to deal with competing syndicates. Period Furniture Modern In Comfort By JOYCE SCHULLER United Press International CHICAGO (UPI)--Stereo sets look like antique gramophones at the International Home Furnishings Market, which opened today. All-transistor AM-FM stereophonic radio-phonographs, encased in authentic Early American cabinets, complete with windup handles and huge trumpets, typical of the antiques gone modern at this market. Other antiques with modern insides include an authentically styled Pennsylvania Dutch dry sink that flips open to reveal a complete bar. Much of the market’s period-in-fluenced furniture has gone modern in comfort. There’s an Early American sofa, for example, with the bentwood, spindled back and simple turnings and shaping of the Windsor chair, but with back and seat cushions of .poly foam or dacron wrap. Virtually all the new period furnishings are scaled down to modern size arid are generally less ornate than the antique originals. Queen Anne chairs, in particular, are considerably smaller than the iverstuffed early 18th Century originals which graced huge homes. Early American appears to be the most popular period furniture at this market, with French Provincial running a closer second, the National Association of Furniture Manufacturers reports.

Seeks Speedy Loan And Grant Measure Action WASHINGTON (UPI)--Sen. Paul H. Douglas, D-Ill., today requested Senate committee hearings next week to speed action on a $392 million loan-and-grant program designed to revitalize economically depressed area. Douglas told United Press International he made the request in a letter to Sen. A. Willis Robertson, D-Va., who is expected to be re-named chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, which handles area redevelopment legislation. The Douglas bill--which has the support of President-elect John F. Kennedy--was the first Senate bill introduced in the 87th Congress. Make Pledge Good It would make good on a campaign pledge by Kennedy who vigorously criticized the administration for not providing more assistance to areas hard hit by chronic unemployment. Aid to distressed areas is one of Kennedy’s five priority legislative requests. Robertson promised “prompt consideration” of the Douglas measure, even though he conceded he was opposed to it. A similar bill was approved by the committee and passed by the Senate two year ago. The House cut it and President Eisenhower vetoed it. Rcbertson would not speculate on whether committee hearings could depend on when the Senate got around to appointing its standing committees. Would Remove Hurdle Robertson said the hearings would be held before the full banking committee rather than before a subcommittee. This would remove one parliamentary hurdle facing the measure. Douglas was chairman of a task force which made recommendations to Kennedy on how to help areas suffering economic depression. Rival Republican bills introduced Thursday indicated the Douglas proposal probably would be attacked because of its size and the proposed methods for financing and administering the program. Immediately after Douglas offered his bill, Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen introduced a less comprehensive $180 million proposal which the Democrats rejected last year. Republican Sen. Hugh Scott, Pa., offered a $214 million measure. The Douglas bill proposed $300 million in loan funds for industrial redevelopment and improvement of public facilities. First Gold Record By Lawrence Welk HOLLYWOOD (UPI)--After battling his way through billions of bubbles and a thousand recording sessions good old Lawrence Welk has finally achieved the ul-timate--his first gold record. The master of uh-one, uh-two, and uh-three music came through with his first smash hit, “Calcutta,” by turning to a rock and roll beat. Lawrence is beside himself with glee. The coveted golden record has eluded him since 1938 when his champagne music first began bubbling. “I feel wunnerful about this,” he said while munching on a noonday hamburger. “I’ve been trying hard for a long time to make a record that could sell a million. In recent years it became a goal I didn’t expect to achieve. I thought my music was on the wrong track.” Welk's previous best-seller was "Oh Happy Day” which sold only a quarter of a million copies. “I’m thinking younger now,” Welk said. "Our band is beginning to appeal to the youth of the country, but at the same time not losng our following among the older folk.”

Support Tax Cut If Need Arises

NEW YORK (UPI)--President-elect Jahn F. Kennedy was armed today by his chief economic advisers and organized labor’s leadership with strong support for a temporary income tax cut this spring if economic danger signs increase seriously. A special task force headed by economics professor Paul A. Samuelson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recommended that Congress give Kennedy the right to cut federal income tax rates by 3 or 4 percentage points if the current recession does not show signs in March or April of righting itself by late summer. Called “Very Sensible” Sen. Paul Douglas, D-Ill., chairman of the House-Senate Economic Committee and head of a recent Kennedy task force on aid to chronically depressed areas, said a 3 or 4 per cent reduction in the normal income tax withholding rate would mean a saving of about $10 a month on an average wage of $85 a week. Douglas called the recommendation “very sensible” as a quick, dramatic measure if current economic conditions worsen appreciably. Coincidentally the AFL-CIO Executive Council recommended giving Kennedy dicretionary power to reduce taxes temporarily during an economic slump, with Congress holding the right to veto. Before returning to Washington late today for the first time since Dec. 16, Kennedy was scheduled to receive a series of other reports dealing with Latin America, education, housing and urban affairs, and international cultural exchanges and programs. To See Rusk The Latin American report, prepared by former State Department official Adolph Berle, may touch on the volatile Cuban situation. Immediately after arriving in the capital at 5:30 p.m. EST Kennedy planned a private talk with Secretary of State-designate Dean Rusk. The State Department has been relaying reports on the Cuban situation to Kennedy via The President-elect planned to remain in Washington through Saturday night, returning to New Cold Snap Hits At North California By United Press International Northern California braced today for another round of near record cold and rain. While most of the nation’s cold spots enjoyed comparatively warm January temperatures, northern California residents suffered through their worst cold snap in a decade. The eight-day-long cold siege combined with San Francisco fog to form 3 1/2 inches of ice on some power lines Thursday, disrupting major electrical circuits in the bay area. A power company spokesman called it “the worst case of frosting since 1928.” In a side effect of the cold siege, the city’s huge Bay Bridge shrunk up to 2 1/2 feet. Rain fell early today along the Pacific coast from the Canadian border through Oregon, with the heaviest amounts 2 inch at Newport and Brookings, Ore. The showers were expected to shift southward later today. Pre-dawn showers also dampened southern Texas and northern Florida, while light snow fell in central Pennsylvania, western New York and Upper Michigan. Light snow mixed with rain was expected today in the northern Rockies, snow flurries were forecast for Maine and rain for the southeastern two-thirds of Texas. The warming trend was expected to continue through the Midwest and northern Atlantic coastal states, while little temperature change was predicted elsewhere.

York Sunday morning. On Monday he will fly to Boston to meet with the overseers of Harvard University and return to New York that night. Before the economic report was submitted Thursday, Kennedy, Vice President-elect Lyndon B. Johnson and Agriculture Secre-tary-designate Orville Freeman met for 90 minutes with 14 farm organization leaders. They agreed to hold an all-day national farm conference in Washington Jan. 26 to chart a new course for attacking what Kennedy termed the "farm crisis." Kennedy Thursday also accepted the decision of Gov. Ernest Vandiver of Georgia to remove himself from consideration as secretary of the Army. Kennedy in a message to Vandiver said he hoped when the governor completed his work in Georgia, he would join the administration “in a position of reponsibility.” Accidental Death Injection Probed TRENTON, N. J. (UPI)--Au-thorities today probed the possibility that a respected doctor accidientally injected death into the veins of 14 of his patients with a virus-laden needle. Dr. Albert L. Weiner, 43, of Erlton, N.J., has temporarily lost his license to practice as an osteopathic psychiatrist, because the persons who died last year were among 44 of his patients who became ill with an ’"aceute liver disease, presumably serum hepatitis.” None of the patients, 10 women and 4 men, was being treated for hepatitis by Weiner, who is head of the neuro-psychiatry at Cherry Hill, N.J., hospital and has been a licensed physician for 18 years. A health department spokesman said Thursday the attorney general’s office was investigating the possibility, among others, that the disease was transmitted to the patients accidentally through unsanitary hypodermic needles. The spokesman said that because Weiner dealt largely with mental disorders, he frequently gave his patients tranquilizers, mental drugs, or sodium amytal, commonly known as truth serum. “It looks like he got hold of a dirty needle,” the spokesman said. He said a patient of Weiner’s may have had serum hepatitus. State Health Commissioner Roscoe P. Kandle said Weiner had been "most cooperative” during the investigation. The disease is not contagious by external contact. There is no danger to persons other than patients of Weiner and the odds are 90 to 1 against any more deaths, Kandle said. No charges have been filed in the case. John L. DeVoss, Attorney ESTATE NO. 5480 NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE ESTATE OF Sam nel E. Hite In the Adams Circuit Court of Adams County, Indiana.

SEATO Still Debating Over Crisis In Laos BANGKOK, Thailand (UPI)--The anti-communist Southeast Asia Treaty Organization debated today whether to reconvene the 1954 Geneva Conference on Indochina to try to settle the crisis in Laos. It apparently reached no decision. The SEATO council of representatives met on the Laos question for the third time this week, with the United States coming under increasing pressure to accept a political solution to the crisis. The United States has favored a strong SEATO stand in defense of the Laotian government against Communist aggression. Adjourn Until Tuesday After an hour-long meeting, the council adjourned until next Tuesday, apparently without reaching agreement on what role SEATO should take. Alliance Secretary General Pote Sarasin said "there have been no developments which would warrant a statement.” Several of the eight pact members questioned U.S. reports that Soviet transport planes had airdropped Communist North Vietnamese paratroopers to aid the Communist Pathet Lao troops and forces of leftist Capt. Kong Le. Say Reds Defeated The pro-Western Laotian government reported Thursday it had defeated Communist forces around Xierig Khouang and that Soviet transport planes were evacuating North Vietnamese troops from airfields near the city. (The Soviet news agency Tass said in a report from Hanoi, capital of North Viet Nam. that Pethet Lao troops had killed 400 rightist soldiers and captured 300 more since fighting erupted in Laos early in December. It said the Pathet Lao forces "continue to advance everywhere.") Ike Says Farewell To G.O.P.

Nixon were guests of honor at a reception and buffet dinner given for Republican senators and their wives by Senate GOP leader Everett M.

Says Vote Recount Is Too Expensive INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)--The Senate Elections Committee today was searching for a way to make it easier for defeated candidates for the Indiana General Assembly to challenge the winner. The matter was brought to the committee’s attention late Thursday by former Rep. Jean LaGrange of LaPorte, who lost out in his bid for the Hoosier Senate by 80 votes last Nov. 8. Also present at the committee hearing was Sen. John F. Shawley, R-LaPorte, the man who defeated LaGrange. LaGrange told the committee it was “too late” for him to benefit by any change in the present laws governing contested legislative races. But he said he wanted the committee to consider legislation for the future. LaGrange said that when a defeated county official challenges the winner, the cost to him is only about $350. But when a defeated candidate for the House or Senate contests an election, the expense may run as high as $4,000. LaGrange had requested a recount in his race with Shawley, but later dropped it “because it was too expensive.” He explained that the General Assembly is the sole judge of its own membership. But he said the machinery set up by law to provide for contesting a legislative "is too costly to work.” the defeated candidate must go to circuit court and ask for a recount and at the same time give a reason for the contest. He said the court judge then appoint two justices of the peace to obtain evidence of fraud and irregularity to present to the legislature. He said the expense comes when the JPs subpoena witnesses. He said his case, more than 200 would have to be subpoenaed at a cost of more than $10 each. Attorney fees would add another $1,000, he said. Sen. Ruel Steele. R-Bedford, conceded that something should be done to ease the financial burden on the man challenging the election. But he warned that if it were made too easy, '“we legislators won’t have a regular session, we'll be too busy out counting votes." The committee indicated it would look into the matter. Profound errors in judgement may occur when barbiturates are taken in average doses. Harvard University researchers report. Jack

33-Year-Old Strike Ends In Copenhagen COPENHAGEN, Denmark (UPI) --Peace returned to Copenhagen’s barber shops today with the end of a 33-year strike--believed to be one of the longest labor hassles in history. Back in 1928, journeyman barbers walked out in i dispute over wages. The first years of`the strike were marked by some violence. Then the striking hairdressers began setting up "Figaro" salons --named after the character in “The Barber of Seville”--to employ the striking barbers. Between the “Figaro” clip joints and the few strikers who returned to their old shops, Copenhagen’s men came through the 33-year strike as clean-cut as any in the world.
