Rebellion Appears Over Patronage

By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International • INDIANAPOLIS <UPl>—Governor Welsh may face the first serious rebellion of his administration in connection with auto license branch patronage. There are evidences of maverick Democrat and Republican deals concerning two Senate bills which would remove the license patronage from the governor and give it to county treasurers. These measures were submitted by Sen. Marshall Kizer, D-Plym-outh, who has crossed swords many times with Welsh, and Sen. Q. Russell Bontrager, R-Elkhart, who has been at odds with the GOP state organization in the past. To Kizer Committee j One of the bills would give the license responsibilities to the county treasurer and the other would have him collect the property tax on cars and trucks. They have been assigned to the Judiciary A Committee, of which fCizer is chairman and Bontrager a member. If the bills become law, the important license patronage would be switched from the governor’s office and the Democratic State Committee to the county party organizations. The upshot, according to practical politicians, would be that the county treasurer and the county chairman probably would split the license revenue which comes from a notary charge for each license issued. _ Indications are that Senate Republicans will vote nearly solidly for the two measures just to muddy up the waters for the Democratic governor, and that they will be joined by enough

rebel Democrats to put the bills over. ’ The overwhelming GOP majority in the House probably will insure passage of the bills. Builds Political Future The auto license patronage is one of the governor’s chief means of building a political future for himself or for a pal. It was employed skillfully by Harold W. Handley to win the senatorial nomination for himself and the gubernatorial bid for his friend. Crawford Parker. With the threatened amputation of politics from the State HighwayDepartment, also a major patronage source, the license branch setup becomes all the more important. If Welsh should become interested in any candidate for U.S. senator in 1962, he would need the automobile license branch jobs to win for his choice. Therefore, we may see the wheels greased next week for speedy passage of the two bills. Death Car Driver To Face Charges DALTON. Ga.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Steady Hog Prices Foreseen By Purdue Purdue University agricultural economists predict steady hog prices for the next three months, followed by a moderate rise and a summer peak. Prospective fall and winter marketings indicate that June-farrow-ed pigs will sell this year “at prices that should provide reasonable returns to the efficient hog producer.” Some further price strength for fed cattle seems probable during the next two months. Because of unpredictable foreign demand for soybeans, wide price fluctuations may continue with a basic price structure of around $2.30 a bushel. Continued firm corn prices are likely. Central Indiana grade A dairy farmers voted for the proposed Indianapolis federal milk order effective March 1. The order, covering 21 counties, will establish minimum prices that milk handlers who distribute in this area must pay for farm milk. But these prices are not expected to be affected materially in the months immediately ahead, the economists say. Hoosier turkey growers plan to increase their production 32 per cent. If this expansion materializes sharply lower prices and profits will result. Contract prices on canning tomatoes may rise as a result of higher labor costs and uncertainities of plantings in California.

I . ..... Macmillan To Seek Assurance From Kennedy LONDON (UPD — Prime Minister Harold Macmillan will seek assurances from President Kennedy that the United States does not intend to downgrade the Anglo-Amer-ican alliance in its future foreign policy, authoritative sources said today. The sources said Macmillan and his advisers were concerned about a seeming shift of emphasis in U. S. policy toward Africa and Latin America, relegating Europe to secondary importance. This, consideration and an alignment of Allied strategy toward Russia will be primary aims of the British leader in his talks with Kennedy scheduled to take place in Washington the week of April 2, the sources said. The meeting will be the first between the British and American heads of government since Kennedy took office, and will come at a time when the President and his advisers are reshaping U. S. policy and strategy. A nervousness has developed among British officials that Britain’s influence in the future may count less with the new administration than it did during the administrations of Presidents Eisenhower and Truman. The partnership with the United States is considered by the Conservative government — and by a large section of the opposition Labor Party — as the backbone of Britain's foreign policy. Macmillan is expected to underline this attitude in his meeting with Kennedy.

Assure Passengers Os Passage Home

RECIFE, Brazil (UPD—Happy passengers and crewmen of the hijacked Portuguese liner Santa Maria were assured today of passage home by the owners of the ship. The Colonial Navigation Co. of Lisbon said the 42 Americans aboard could choose plane or ship accommodations to Miami and other nationalities, except Portuguese and Spanish, could do the same. The company said Spaniards and Portuguese bound for their homelands would be taken home by ship. A Dutch KLM airliner was scheduled to leave this morning with 44 Dutch passengers for Amsterdam. There were reports that the Santa Maria’s sister ship, the Vera Cruz, would dock here Satursday and pick up some passengers. Provided Lodgings Portuguese passengers were given refuge in a Portuguese club here while passengers of other nationalities went to schools, hotels and homes to Recife. The happiness of the passengers when they landed after 11 days at sea to the hands of heavilyarmed rebels was tumultuous. Many of them shouted “vivas” for Brazil and Portugal. A mob scene erupted at the gangway leading to land and safety for the Santa Maria’s captive passengers who ignored the old nautical rule of “women and children first.” Mrs. Joan Haberson, 34, of Lincoln, Neb., said there was “great confusion” when the passengers started to leave the ship. “At first it was announced women and children would be taken off first,” Mrs. Haberson said. “But the mob pressed forward. I tried to retire gracefully from combtit but was pushed forward onto a lowered stairway < gangway) and that’s why I was one

of the first off.” Penniless Spaniards Suffer During the bizarre trip, much depended on the status of the passengers. First class passengers had bacon and eggs for breakfast, although food was reported running short. Dr. Irene Dunn, 62, of Claremont, Calif., said: “I imagine passengers in the tourist class suffered more than we. There was less water there and sanitary facilities must have degenerated. In the second class there was one case of measles aboard during the trip.” Dr. Dunn lives at 3852 Mural Drive. Most of the affected passengers were the penniless Spaniards in steerage who were going home on government-paid tickets. Their quarters were sweltering and sickness and weakness caused by the intense heat were reported among them. i The ship turned hot under the broiling sun near the Equator ana ; to make matters worse, the air conditioning broke down.
