Governor Calls Conference On Unemployment INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-Gover-nor Welsh today called an Indiana conference on unemployment tentatively for March 14 and said he expects “action and practical work programs to relieve distress, to provide jobs and to help stimulate business.” Welsh said these are “times of critical economic stress.” He said the government on a national or state basis cannot find “quick, easy answers to the complex problem of unemployment.” “The final solution ... will. . . come .. . from private business and industry, from thousands upon thousands of expressions of faith in our economy by businesses throughout the country,” Welsh said. He said there are “things that can be done by government to help," such as to provide unemployment compensation payments, to distribute surplus food commodities. to initiate “genuinely useful projects . . . that will provide immediate jobs and be helpful to business,” £ “Government at whatever level can lend its assistance to unions, businesses and industry,” Welsh said, “in getting the wheels of our economy turning at full speed again, as they haven’t done for so many months.” Welsh said he was calling the conference “to help stimulate such activity by the state and by local governments.” He said unemployment benefits should be raised and the period for drawing them extended. | “These payments are still too Flow and paid for too short a itime,” the governor said. He said unemployment compen- : sation is “as important to businesses to slow the dropping sales in heavy unemployment areas as i they are to the living needs of workers seeking to reestablish ) their families’ income.” Welsh called the conference after receiving a telegram from President Kennedy urging all state governors to take such action. He appointed a nine-member committee to draft an agenda for the conference and said he will invite “those who can make a practical contribution to mapping a program for action to meet the problem.” “I don’t expect miracles from such a conference,” he said. Mayor Thomas Lemon of Bloomington was appointed chairman of the conference committee as president of the Indiana Municipal League. Other members are Lewis Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division; Hobart Butler, state labor commissioner; Albert Kelly, state welfare director; Gayle Eads, head of the surplus food program; Henry Blessing, president of the Indiana Trustees Association: Floyd Gingrich, president of the Indiana County Officials Association; Dallas Sells, state president of the AFL-CIO, and Jack Reich, executive director of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce.

Fog, Rain, Drizzle Prevalent In State By United Press International Fog, rain and drizzle were on Indiana's weather menu today and far above normal temiieratures which prevailed were expected to continue to near the end of February. The mercury climbed into the 50s over most of the state Tuesday and light rain fell. More readings in the 50s were due today and Thursday, and probably daily up to the next to last day of February, if not longer. The five-day outlook called for temperatures averaging 8 to 12 degrees above normal, or highs ranging from 42 to 59 and lows ranging from 33 to 42. Only minor day-to-day temperature changes were indicated for the period ending next Monday, although in the central and south portions it may be a little colder over the weekend. Precipitation the next five days will average less than one-fourth of an inch north to one-half inch or more south, largely around the first of the week. Occasional light rain or drizzle was forecast for the next two days, ending by Friday, with a chance of thundershowers in the southern third. Highs Tuesday ranged from 47 at Evansville to 55 at Indianapolis, and overnight lows from 32 at South Bend and Fort Wayne to 45 at Evansville. Highs today will range from 46 to 63, tows tonight from 32 to 53. and highs Thursday from the rftid 50s to tt. _ Adams County Dog Found In Van Wert Word has been received in Adams county that Van Wert authorities have picked up a “valuablelooking” dog that has an Adams county tag. The tag number is 1-2574, and if the owner is interested in getting the animal back, he may do so by calling in Van ies there within 10 days.

Red Cross Workers In French Township A total of 17 section solicitors were announced today for French township by the co-chairmen of the 1961 French township Red Cross rural fund drive, Mr. and Mrs. Menno Augsburger. “The generous Christian people of French township have always done very well in helping others by giving to the Adams county Red Cross,” Augsburger stated, "and this year appears to be no different;”, Raised $221.50 Last Year Last year, $221,50 helped push the county fund drive over the top for the first time in many years. “The people of French township understand just how' much the Red Cross means to every person,” Augsburger explained. “For example, when a boy is in service, the Red Cross verifies any emergency that exists at home, and necessitiates his presence. The Red Cross does not grant leaves, passes, or discharges, but it does provide all of the local information which the service commander needs to make his decision. This local contact is very important for the boy in service, who otherwise would have no way of verifying his story. Learn Many Skills “And the Red Cross also helps us prepare for every emergency right here at home. Red Crosstrained boys and girls now know how to swim; mothers and daughters have taken home nursing and first aid courses; disaster relief is always available if , flood or storm strikes our county,” he added. “Good things happen to us when we take part in the Red Cross rural fund drive, and they will continue to happen as people more fully understand and take part in the Red Cross program," he concluded. Chairmen Named Section chairmen for the 24 sections in French township are: Sections 1 and 2, Bert Seesenguth; 3 & 4, Sam Gerber; 9 & 10, Ted Kipfer; 11 & 12, George Ringger, Jr.; 13.

Airline Engineers Ask For Meeting

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Striking flight engineers called today for another meeting with government officials before deciding whether or not to end the most crippling walkout in U.S. aviation history. The engineers polled their individual chapters throughout the night to decide whether to heed Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg’s appeal to halt the strike while a special commission named by President Kennedy investigates the causes of the walkout. Results of the poll were to have been announced this morning. A spokesman said “There have been later developments which make the 10 o’clock statement impossible without further conferences with government officials.” He said the statement had been postponed “until at least noon.” But he would give no indication what the “later developments” were about. Goldberg wanted the walkout suspended while a three-man commission appointed Tuesday by President Kennedy investigates causes of the dispute, which has grounded or curtailed flights of six airlines. It is the most crippling walkout in U.S. aviation history. The airlines said they would begin calling back their furloughed personnel as soon as the engineers strike was ended, but it would take several days for airline service to return to normal. Safe From Discipline Goldberg, who made an unsuccessful attempt to settle the strike earlier, said that Pan American World Airways, Eastern Air Lines, American Airlines, Trans World Airlines. National Airlines and the Flying Tigers Cargo Airline had assured him they wouldn’t discipline the strikers. Western Airlines had said earlier it was firing flight engineers who refused to man flights and was hiring replacements. The engineers spokesman said a critical issue w’as whether the White House commission would supercede a decision of the National Mediation Board which touched off the strike. Goldberg said the decision couldn’t be reversed. First reaction from the engineers, however, was cool. One spokesman said that if he understood the plan right, “we re right back where we started.” Goldberg said the nation could not afford to have nearly 100,000 airlines employes out of work dur-

ing a recession. The airlines said the walkout was costing them as much as $5 million a day. “I hope the workers go back promptly,” Goldberg said. Protest Ruling The flight engineers walked out last week in protest of a ruling that pilots and engineers of United Air Lines should combine to form a single bargaining unit. United engineers didn’t strike. Kennedy named to the commission Profs. Nathan Feinsinger of the University of Wisconsin Law School, Richard Lester of the Princeton Economics Department and James Keith Mann of the Stanford University Law School. Feinsinger heads the commission. Goldberg said he sent a copy Os Kennedy’s order to Ron Brown, president of the Flight Engineers International Association, and included a letter asking him to urge striking locals to go back to work. Goldberg wired a similar request to the individual locals. Kennedy’s order authorized the panel to hold public hearings on such issues as the engineers’ duties, job security and union representation. The commission is to report back to Kennedy within 90 days. The engineers claim the ruling allowing the pilots' union to take over their United Air Lines local would establish a precedent for all locals. They said this would abolish their bargaining rights and eventually let pilots take over their Jobs. The Preble Peppy Pals 4-H club TOieettng of year at the Zion Lutheran school recently.
