THE DECATOX DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

i State K. C. Parley Will Open Friday Officers of the Decatur council of the Knights of Columbus, and a group of members and their wives are planning to attend the ' four-day state K. of C. convention, to be held in Terre Haute, beginning Friday. ’ The Rev. Robert Coot ant, chaplain of the local council, will attend the Friday session, which will be conducted for all of the ’ 79 council chaplains in the state. r David Terveer, grand knight, and Donald Heiman, deputy grand 1 knight, are official delegates from the Decatur council to the convention. Eugene Braun and John Held have been elected as alternates. Arthur Heiman, financial secretary; William P. Lose, Jr., ’ treasurer, and Carl Braun, district deputy, will also attend business , sessions in connection with their offices. The Deming hotel will be convention headquarters. Highlights of the convention will include the state deputy’s ball Saturday night, and the parade , and convention high mass Sunday, with a sermon by the Rev. Fran- . cis Neisen, state K. of C. chaplain. Tours of St. Mary of the Woods and the Farther Gibault school for boys, which is underwritten by the Indiana Knights of Columbus, will be on the agenda. A memor- . ial mass for deceased members will be read Monday at the Holy , Angels chapel of the Gibault school. * In addition to the officers, others planning to attend are Mrs. David Terveer, Mrs. Donald Heij man, Mrs. William P. Lose, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Herman Geimer, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lengerich, Tom Morrissey, Max Meyers, Tom Rumschlag and William ‘ Rumschlag. Delay Decision On sth Districl Vote WASHINGTON (UPI)—A House investigations subcommittee, that previously announced it would go into night sessions if necessary to determine who won Indiana’s sth Congressional District, quit after a three-hour session Tuesday and said it “might” have the answer Thursday. Chairman Robert T. Ashmore, D-S.C., said Tuesday the group had counted 97 balots, all absentee. and rejected 16. It then disbanded until Thursday. He said the ballots were from a number of different polling places in the district’s 10 counties where local judges had characterized all ballots as improper. He appeared tired and said frankly he was disappointed by the slow progress in deciding the disputed election. When asked ifhe expected to wind up the work by Thursday’s session, he said “I’m going to quit guessing. We’ll work till we get through.” ' Republican George O.- Chambers, Anderson, claims he won the Nov. 8 election by 12 votes. However, his opponent, former Rep. J. Edward Roush, D-Hunt-ington, felt the election was his by two ballots. Both are confident the recount of the district’s more than 213,000 votes will prove him the victor. When the committee met last week, after coming to Indiana twice for vote rechecks, Ashmore estimated that more than 400 ballots remained to be examined and counted, most of them cast by absentee voters. This was the classification Roush had declared would assure him of winning. Slight Decrease In Savings Bond Sales Adams county’s U.S. savings ‘ bonds sales for April were $41,701, compared with $41,792 for the ; corresponding month of last year, according to a report made to T. F. Graliker, chairman of the county U.S. savings bonds commit--1 tee. Indiana’s sales for April were $10,012,606, and' $9,974,834 for April ! of 1960 —a gain of approximately one-half of 1 per cent. . Forty-seven of the state’s 92 counties reported sales increases , for the month, the gains to a great 1 extent being confined to the smaller county units, although Marion, Allen, LaPorte, Knox, St. Joseph and Vigo counties recorded sales increases.

Castro Regime Land Seizure Figure Given MIAMI (UPl)—The Fidel Castro regime has seized nearly 5.5 million acres of privately owned sugar land without compensation in the past two years, more than half of it U.S.-owned, it was disclosed today. The figures were in a report issued by Capt. Antonio Nunez Jimenez, head of the National Agrarian Reform Institute, on the occasion of the second anniversary of its establishment. Nunez’ report was broadcast by Havana Radio and monitored here. The institute was created under Premier Fidel Castro “fundamental law" of the land which he established after revoking the Cuban constitution of 1940. Although Nunez is executive director, Castro is titular president of the institute. Nunez repor said the sugar lands nationalized totaled 5,346,000 acres, of which 3,102,000 were American-owned. No private owner has ever been paid for his seized land although the agrarian reform law ostensibly provides for compensation in 20 - year, lowinterest bearing government bonds Nunez reported the government has invested 400 million pesos in land reform in the past two years. The peso, once on a par with the U.S. dollar, now is quoted at one- : third to one-fifth that amount in money exchanges. Billy Graham Lauds Stand By Kennedy NEW YORK (UPl)—Evangelist Billy Graham said today he admired President Kennedy’s stand against federal aid to parochial schools. “In some ways he’s turned out to be a Baptist president,” said Southern Baptist Minister Graham. Kennedy is the nation’s first Roman Catholic elected to the presidency. Graham commented on the federal aid to education issue prior to his departure aboard the Queen Mary for England, where later this month he will conduct the third crusade of his career in Great Britain. “The whole question of federal aid to Church-supported schools is immensely complex, and there’s no clear-cut yes-or-no answer to it,” said the North Carolina evangelist. “But generally speaking, I am against using federal funds for these schools. In other words, I tend to agree with Mr. Kennedy, whose views are in conflict with those of the Roman Catholic hierarchy.” Graham told newsmen the recent attack by whites in Birmingham, Ala., on a group of “freedom riders” testing interstate bus travel in the south was “the most deplorable thing that’s happened in this country since Little Rock.” Nation's First Lady Captivates Canada OTTAWA (UPI) — Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy began her first foreign assignment as First Lady by captivating the officialdom of Canada with much noted grace, beauty and charm. Soectacularly beautiful Tuesday night in a heavy white silk evening gown, she received even more attention at times than her husband at a reception given in their honor by Gov.-Gen. and Mrs. George P. Vanier. The reception which followed a state dinner climaxed a day in which Mrs. Kennedy modestly listened to a series of personal plaudits from Canadian leaders and shared equal billing with the President in their first official event, a tree-planting ceremony. Today, Mrs. Kennedy had a schedule of her own to fulfill during several hours of business talks between her husband and Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker. The time was reserved for the First Lady to indulge in two of her favorite hobbies — a’t and horses. , , . First on Mrs. Kennedy s agenda was a tour of the National Art Gallery, featuring a special Canadian exhibit, and with Canada s first and only woman cabinet minister, Mrs. Elen Fairclough, serving as one of the guides. Then, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had a special treat in store for her —a preview showing of the famed RCMP musical ride at the suburban Rockcliffe Barracks.

Drivers Arrested Following Wrecks Two Decatur drivers were arrested following separate accidents, one Tuesday and the other early this morning. Paul Eugene Bevelhimer, 32, Homestead 3, was arrested for reckless driving following an accident which occurred at 1:28 a. m. today. Bevelhimer was traveling east on Adams street, when he struck a parked car owned by Chalmer T. Werst, 1121 W. Adams, in the rear. His vehicle careened off the Werst car and up into the yard of the Clarence Durkin home, causing SSO damage to the cement steps of the home. Bevelhimer stated he momentarily fell asleep. Damages were listed at SSOO to the Bevelhimer car and S3OO to the Werst vehicle. James Brook Newton, 18, 815 Mercer Ave., was also arrested for reckless driving following an accident on a motor scooter from which he suffered cuts to both hands and to the right leg. Newton was operating the scooter south on Fourth street. He ran the stop sign at Fourth and Adams, .and lost control of the vehicle while attempting to turn onto Adams. Damage to the scooter was approximately SSO. Both drivers will appear in J.P. court at a later date. Report Claims Russian Space Margin Larger WASHINGTON (UPI) — A report from behind the Iron Curtain suggests that the space power gap between Russia and the United States is bigger and may take longer to close than Americans have supposed. The report, if it Is true, indicates the Russians already have a spacecraft launcher more powers ful than the Saturn rocket with which this country had hoped at least to narrow the power gap in 1964. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has estimated the power of Russia’s “basic booster” at 800,000 pounds of thrust. This is more than twice the power of the Atlas, biggest rocket now available to the U.S. space program. But it is only about half the 1.5 million pounds of thrust generated by the Saturn’s booster! stage. It now appears, however, that the Russians already may be using a space vehicle with a weightlifting power of close to two million pounds of thrust. This is suggested in a report on “Soviet-Bloc Research in Geophysics, Astronomy, and Space” compiled by the U.S. Joint Publications Research Service and distributed by the Commerce Department. The report quotes a “Hungarian space expert” named Jozsef Sinka as saying the vehicle which launched the Soviet Venus probe Feb. 12 was a five-stage rocket weighing 1.6 million pounds. This would make it about six times as heavy as the Atlas. It also would be 600,000 pounds heavier than the three-stage Saturn vehicle. If Sinka is right about the weight of the Venus rocket, its booster stage must generate around two million pounds of thrust, according to U.S. space experts. 95 New Hepatitis Cases In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A heavy new flood of 95 cases of infectious hepatitis were added to the Indiana State Board of Health records last week, raising the year’s total to 1,152 compared with 393 a year ago. The week’s cases reflected reports from 31 counties and were nearly twice the number reported in the last preceding week. Another 1961 polio case was recorded —in Lake county—and the year’s total was raised to three. A year ago, no cases had been reported by mid-May.

Propose Coalition Regime For Laos

BAN NAMONE, Laos (UPI) — Representatives of the royal Laotian government and two rebel factions agreed today to hold a “summit” meeting on formation of a provisional coalition regime, but failed to agree on a meeting site and a number of other key issues. They included a joint delegation to represent this country at the Geneva peace talks. • Presumably the coalition gov- ‘ ernment would include members 1 from the pro-Western regime of Premier Prince Boun Oum, the 1 Communist - backed “neutralists” of ex-Premier Prince Souvanna 1 Phouma and the pro-Communist 1 Pathet Lao headed by “Red” Prince Souphanouvong. A royal • government proposal to include l other factions wil be considered 1 later. 1 The three leaders were suggest--1 ed as the main participants in the summit session. The royal government delegates - proposed the summit meeting for I a coalition regime, and was aci cepted by the neutralists and pro--1 Communists. i But the rebels insisted the sessions be held in Xieng Khouang • in Communist-controlled territory, rather than in Cambodia as suggested last week by royal govern- | ment strongman Gen. Phoumi Nosavan. The royalists are expected to hold out for either Vientiane or Luang Prabang. This point was put on the agenda for discussion Friday at the next meeting of the truce delegates, who have been holding military and political talks here to work out details of the cease-fire which has been in effect for two weeks. t- Three Are Indicted In Muncie Slaying MUNCIE, Ind.
