Mrs. Brokaw will now handle the boxes through the Junior Red Cross in getting them to children of other lands.

Civics Club Gives Junior Gift Boxes In keeping with the chib's Jan-1 uary theme of “Citizen of World Affairs," the Mary’s Catholic Civics club of the St. Joseph school presented Junior Red Cross gift boxes to Mrs. Luther Brokaw, chairman of the Junior Red Cross, as the result of the club's work for boys and girls of other lands. This is an activity which gives American children in school groups such as the Civics club, an opportunitv to prepare and send boxes filled with gifts to demonstrate their friendship and goodwill to children of other lands. A good explanation of the project was given in the Ameri- ■ can Junior Red Cross News, stat-j ing, “All around the world, new I links of friendshio are formed, every time a gift box is packed | to begin its journey to understand-| ing among young people. New. links are forged everv time a boy O’- girl in another country writes ■ of his pleasure at this gesture of goodwill.” Girls who contributed to the gift boxes were: Rebecca Arriaga.

Two Americans Among Five In Espionage Ring LONDON (UPD — Disclosure that five spy suspects were watched for more than six months raised the possibility today that Allied agents may have used them to feed false atomic submarine secrets to the Russians. The five were linked more closely with Soviet espionage Thursday with the disclosure that two of them actually are Americans who were investigated by the FBI in connection with the spy case of Soviet Col. TRudolph I. Abel. They are on trial here as Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Kroger who live in an unpretentious bungalow in the London suburbs. British security agents found in the bungalow such cloak-and-dagger espionage material as containers with hidden compartments, rolls of American currency and a radio for broadcasting to Moscow. But in the United States, the FBI said it had identified them from fingerprints as former New Yorkers Morris Cohen, 55, and his wife, lola, 47. Linked With Abel It said both had been investigated in connection with the Abel spy case in 1957, although neither was taken into custody. They apparently slipped out of the United States about the time Abel was brought to trial. He was convicted of espionage and currently is serving a 30-year prison term at the federal penitentiary in Atlanta. The Kroger-Cohens are expected to go on trial next month on charges of stealing secrets from the Portland naval base and sending them to a “potential enemy.” To be tried with them are former Admiralty clerks Harry Houghton, 55, and his fiancee, Miss Ethel Gee, 47, both Britons, and another man of mysterious nationality, Gordon Lonsdale, 38. lie has identified himself as a Canadian but British counterspy believe he may be a RufesiamJ 'The pleaded iniiocent -0t &w-&rc3t Court Thursday at'diie ehd £ 0 a three-day heating .at jwhich' the'. government unfolded Some 'ttie it hit again<tihem, < M Details AwaH Trial How successful the aUegeti spring was may- come' ptit tally.

Asks Reds For Time To Review Problems I. V ' WASHINGTON (UPD — The United States has asked Russia for time to review cold war problems and has warned it will react sharply to any new Soviet-created crises. The Kennedy administration has notified the Kremlin that it will need three or four months to review critical issues before it will be able to decide whether any policy changes should be made. The U.S. position has been conveyed to Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev through high diplomatic channels during the past weeks — including State Department talks with Russian Ambassador Mikhail A. Menshikov in Washington. The message was not in terms of “stay in line or else,” but rather a strong appeal by the new I administration to be given time to work out its own policies in hopes of settling major world issues. Russia was put on notice that if it did not allow this time for reflection, but resorted to fistshaking or stirring up of new problems. American public opinion would demand some strong fist-shaking on President Kennedy’s part. The State Department has launched a complete review of American foreign policy in all areas of the world through a series of task forces. One, under Adolf A. Berle, is reviewing Latin American policy. Another headed by former Secretary of State Dean Acheson is looking into the whole strategy of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). There are or will be other task forces on Africa, the Far East and foreign aid. Attorney General Asks More Judges WASHINGTON (UPD—Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy asked Congress today to pass legislation to create 59 new federal judgeships “to relieve a serious problem of congestion” in the courts. The attorney general submitted a proposed bill to create 9 new judgeships in the' U.S. Courts of Appeals and 50 new federal district court judgeships. Kennedy noted that the Judicial Conference of the U.S., composed of the chief federal judges, has recommended passage of the judgeship legislation. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower repeatedly asked Congress to pass such legislation. Last year, the House Judiciary Committee approved a bill to create 35 new federal judgeships and the Senate Judiciary Committee approved 25 new judges, bvft Congress failed to take final action. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was then Senate Democratic leader, said that Eisenhower’s request was a move to get additional patronage. In turn, former Attorney General William P. Rogers accused Congress of ignoring “an urgent national need.” He said -the administration was willing to divide the judgeships equally between the two political parties. In submitting his request today, Kennedy said that "the increase in litigation in the federal courts has created serious problems of court congestion with consequent delay in disposition of the cases.” This is not only a “catastrophe” for the people” whose properties and liberties are at stake,” he said, “but also to the public generally.” Paul Card Appointed Trustee By Workers Paul A. Carll, who resides at 39 Homestead, has been appointed trustee for three years of the Allied Industrial workers in Fort Wayne. The organization represents 1,300. production workers in that city. nine Dreadnought. Symonds testified that photographs of the Dreadnought were found in a shopping bag belonging to Miss Gee and that they would be of "great value to the enemy?’

$750 Million Damage Suit Filed On GE By United Press International A businessman and a housewife who say they were overcharged for electrical equipment were plaintiffs today in a damage suit whose duplication by other aggrieved customers could involve claims in the multi-billions of dollars. J. Orion Brunk, a Peoria, 111., businessman, and Mrs. Mary Brown, a Peoria housewife, Thursday filed suit asking $750 million triple damages from General Electric, one of 29 major electrical suppliers found guilty Monday of violating anti - trust laws through price fixing and rigged bids. ► More than two dozen cities who bought supplies from the penalised firms are considering, or have been told they are eligible, to file similar suits. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy said Thursday the federal government, acting on behalf of at least 20 of its agencies, will file its first complaint “within two months.” The Justice Department said it could not yet determine how much the government will seek in damages. The federal government can sue only for actual damages; private victims can sue for triple their actual damages under the Clayton Anti-Trust Act. An attorney who represents Brunk and Mrs. Brown said their suit is on behalf of 50 million persons who they maintain were overcharged for General Electric products. Any person who could prove he was overcharged for a GE product would be entitled to a share of the damages awarded, attorney Jack Brunnenmeyer said. “If somebody could prove he was charged $5 too much for an appliance then he would be entitled to triple damages—sls,” he said. City attorneys from across the nation will gather in Washington Feb. 23 to discuss further legal action at a meeting called by the National Institute of Municipal Law Officers. '

NEGROES MARCH (Continued from page 1) apolis area have b< en asked to join when they finish their work shift.” The last massive march on the Statehouse occurred in the closing days of the 1957 legislative Session when thousands of union members invaded the halls in an effort to persuade then Gov. Harold W. Handley to veto the “right to work” bill. The demonstration almost got out of hand, but cooler heads prevailed and a riot was averted. Handley later allowed “right to work” to become law without his signature. Mrs. Jacobs said today’s demonstration would be “prayerful and peaceful” and its leaders w6uld assure orderly behavior. She said the demonstrators would carry banners saying "Pass Senate Bills 108 and 116,” and “Civil Rights Long Overdue,” and “We Need Civil Rights Now.” The Rev. Ford Gibson, an Indianapolis school teacher and state president of the Indiana NAACP, will lead the demonstrators. Mrs. Jacobs said Rev. Gibson had not planned to take part because of his school duties. But she said he decided to pay a substitute $28.53 to work for him today and take part in the demonstration “because he isn’t going to give in to intimidation.” Assemble At Church Rev. Gibson said the demonstrators would assemble early today at Phillips Temple C. M. E. Church here, then reassemble on Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis for a silent walk to the Statehouse two blocks away. Rev. Gibson will lead the Negroes in prayer bn the steps of the Statehouse and the peaceful demonstration then will move inside to confront legislators. After the demonstration, Mrs. Jacobs will conduct a legislative seminar at the church and a banquet will follow. " Rev. Gibson said he was pleased with the progress of the two bills. “It would truly be a pleasure for us to turn our demonstration into a meeting of Thanksgiving, hut we have been too long suffering and prefer to see the votes counted and the bills kept intact without crippling amendments,” he said. “We’re also unhappy at the cut in appropriations from $150,000 to SIOO,OOO for two years operation of the Civil Rights Commission. It will be our purpose to get the original appropriation restored.” a JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES Kingdom Hall Corner Monroe and Ninth There will be no meetings held at the local Kingdom Hall Ulis weekend due to the Circuit Assembly being held in Kendallville.

Information Ban On Russia's Sputnik WASHINGTON (UPI) — A Defense Department information ban today helped shroud the fate of Russia’s six-day-old, 7^-ton Sputnik VII. Air Force and defense sources hinted there had been no difficulty in tracking the Soviet satellite. They said the information ban merely created an appearance of mystery concerning the Sputnik's whereabouts. The only publicly reported Western observation of the satellite was by the Royal Observatory at Edinburgh, Scotland. This was made possible by information furnished by the Russians. L. J. Carter, secretary of the British Interplanetary Society, said the Western “confusion” showed that a spy satellite "can whirl around the earth undetected.” The Defense Department refused to comment. The White House disclosed earlier, however, that the U.S. detected she Sputnik even before its launching was announced by the Russians. Less than a week before the launching, the Defense Department said its system for detecting “silent satellites” was being perfected. Defense sources said the reason for the information blackout apparently was a belief that America has given too much publicity to Soviet space achievements, although in this case the Russians also are withholding information on Sputnik VII. Would End Compulsory ROTC At Purdue U. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD —Purdue University officials were today considering a bill passed 16-9 by the student senate to end the compulsory ROTC programs in effect since the school’s founding in 1874, and make it voluntary.

New Haven Man Is Injured Thursday Darrell G. Cunningham, 38, of New Haven, was injured Thursday when he was thrown from hisi car and pinned beneath it, one-half mile west of New Haven. Authorities said Cunningham’s car was struck from behind by one driven by Leo D. Busick, 21, of Decatur route 3. Cunningham was helped from beneath the vehicle by Busick and a passerby. INDIANA (Continued from page one) fore a strike could be called. Demand Repealer Report Minority Democrats on the committee demanded late Thursday during an executive session following the first public hearing the committee has held, that the group consider and report on the “right to work” repealer. But Rep. Donald Yeagley, DSouth Bend, spokesman for the four minority members, conceded the party lacks the, strength to get the bill either out of committee or through the House. The repeal bill passed the Senate 26-24. During the hearing, several union and management officials spoke on bills assigned to the committee. 177_wa8,nm5austir Terre Haute, a '•United Mine Workers official, charged that the curtailment of picketing rights “would destroy organized labor.” Dallas Sells, AFL-CIO executive director, said the bills represented “special class legislation against workers.” He proposed that they be amended to prevent employers from aiding each other or bringing in strikebreakers. $1 An Hour Loss? Sells also charged that the bill to change the prevailing wages to be paid on public construction projects could mean “as much as $1 an hour” reduction in some counties. But Loris Burt. Bloomington, a former school superintendent, now executive secretary of the Indiana School-Boards Association, said the wage change would mean a
