Heavy Flow Os Mail Threats To President WASHINGTON (UPI) — The White House is getting an unusually heavy volume of threatening and obscene mail addresed to President Kennedy. But the flow of anti-Catholic letters to Kennedy, heavy just before and after his inauguration, has slackened. The White House mail room has been referring more than 2,000 threatening or obscene letters and postal cards a month to the Secret Service for investigation and possible prosecution. The President never sees them. There were 2,300 such referrals in February and 3,200 in March. The March figure probably was inflated by mail Kennedy received between the election and inauguration and which was not opened until after he took office. The Secret Service already has received more than 2,000 letters this month. Unless the trend changes, the 1961 total is sure to jump well above the 17,000 to 20,000 pieces of objectionable mail that Secret Service Chief U. E. Baughman considers normal for a single year. The mail is not directed so much at Kennedy personally as at the President of the United States. Why is Kennedy getting more of this sort of mail than his predecessor did? One reason, officials suggested, is that Eisenhower was exceptionally popular. Another may be the recent U. S. setbacks in Laos, Cuba and space flight. When international problems boil up, White House mail—both normal and crackpot — gets heavier. A third reason, Secret Service agents, said, might be greater awareness of Kennedy resulting from television broadcasts of his news conferences. North Manchester Firm Low On Bridge Bid William Waltz, Inc., North Manchester, has received a contract for construction of a bridge over the John Barger ditch on a county road at the south edge of Peterson, 1.4 miles south of U. S. 224. The engineer's estimate was $42,178.22, while the Waltz Inc. bid was $32,973.24. 100 Farm Producers Discuss Program Over 100 farm producers were in the ASC office Tuesday to discuss their probability of signing up for the feed-grain program, reported Mary’ Howard, ASC office manager. Mrs. Howard reports great deal of interest in the program. If a producer did not receive a notice of feed grain base and payment rate he should notify the ASC office, Mrs. Howard stated. The office hours at the ASC office are 9 a. m. to 6 p. m., Monday through Thursday, and 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. Friday. The office is closed on Saturday. These hours are in effect until June 1, the signup deadline. -

Jefferson Club To Meet On Thursday The Adams county Jefferson club will have a family pot luck dinner Thursday night ait 6:30 at the Geneva high school.

Vast Influence On Government From Eichmann JERUSALEM (UPI) -Although Adolf Eichmann was only a lieu-tenant-colonel, he wielded vast influence on the German government and was co-author of the plan to exterminate the Jews of Europe, the court was told today. The prosecution in the trial of the man accused of the mass slaughter of six million Jews succeeded in placing into the court record a deposition charging that Eichmann suggested die “final solution” — murder —of the Jewish problem to Nazi Police Chief Heinrich Himmler. Himmler took it from there and Adolf Hitler personally issued the order. The deposition was made by Dieter Wisliceny, a former subordinate of Eichmann in the SS Corps who was executed as a war criminal. Something happened to the great friendship that once existed between them, and Wisliceny offered to cooperate with the American Army in running Eichmann down after the war. The offer was rejected. Wisliceny said Eichmann and SS General Odilo Globocnik between them conceived the “final solution.” The words from the grave were a damaging blow to Eichmann’s case, and he seemed to realize lit. He made many notes inside his bullet-proof glass box to the left of the judges’ bench. Occasionally he frowned as he listened to the reading of the Wisliceny deposition. Eichmann’s entire defense is built around the contention that he never had anything to do with formulating Nazi policy, was opposed to the extermination of the Jews, and was only a “small sausage” blindly obeying orders.
