explained that it was important to Show young men that their future professors were interested in the commercial aspects of farming as well as the experimental aspects. Agri-business, Such as Central Soya, is now a large part of the total agricultural picture, he explained. By 1970 twice as many agricultural graduates will be needed for business, and three times as many will be needed on the farm itself, where technical methods, complicated machinery, and financial and tax matters are making a college education very desirable, he predicted Agricultural Careers Dean Hutchison is working a committee with other land grant college men on publications for agricultural careers. Today, he mentioned, 40% of the jobs in the ; United States are in agriculture or a related area. In Ohio, he stated, the Farm Bureau and Grange are quite strong, and a weak Farmers Union exists. Several other cooperative farm groups also operate. The conversation then turned to allowing these various groups to recruit members or professional staff on a college campus. Dean Hutchison stated that his method was to allow them, under supervision, to present their story, and let the college men choose for themselves what they want. He pointed out that some rabblerousing groups like nothing better than to be able to say that they are "banned on campus,” to play on sympathy. "" - Controversy On Campus A number of the professors and students recently attended such [ controversial things as showings i of "Operation Abolition” the film which purports tb show that all opposition to the House Unamerican Affairs committee of the U S. house of representatives, is sponsored by the Communists, or Com-munist-influenced groups, and a controversial Australian minister who spoke on the Communist 1 threat to recently freed British I territories. ' - ! Freedom of information. Dr. Hutchison pointed out, is importJMit in the free world, where emphasis on a positive anti-Commun-ist program is imperitive. Following lunch and the interview, the group toured the experimental farm, where lab results are tested in practical work. Deadline Nears For Wheat Applications July 1 is the deadline for filing applications for "new farm” wheat allotments in the winter wheat area. James Garboden, chairman, county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee, has announced. . Under the wheat allotment-mar-keting quota program, a “new farm” is a farm on which there is no wheat acreage history, including acreage considered as wheat under the conservation reserve or the Great Plains program, for any of the last 3 years — 1959, 1960, or 1961. Any farmer who intends to seed wheat for 1962 on a farm which does not now have a wheat allotment and who wishes to be considered for an allotment should file a “new farm” application at £he ASC county office before the • July f deadline. Formal application must be made in writing on a form provided for that purpose.

Ex-Diplomat Denies Giving Away Secrets WASHINGTON (UPD — Former U.S. diplomat Irvin C. Scarbeck denied today that he gave away State Department secrets and claimed he was only trying to save the life of his blonde Polish sweetheart. Scarbeck, former second secretary at the U.S. embassy in Warsaw, told his side of the story through his lawyer at arraignment on a charge of giving State Department secrets to agents of the Communist government of Poland. The indictment made no mention of a report that Scarbeck, a gray-haired 41-year-old father of four, had been blackmailed into turning over the secrets to Communist agents who had learned of his relationship with a 22-year-old Polish blonde. , Federal Judge John J. Sirica set the trial date for the exforeign service officer for July 18. He rejected a request that the $50,000 bond be lowered and Scarbeck was held in jail here. But his newly retained attorney, Samuel C. Klein, told of the complex relationship" between Scarbeck and the blonde. Klein admitted that Scarbeck passed information to the Communists but he said it was political and did not involve security. He said Scarbeck knew his career was over when the Communists learned of his affair and that his only concern was bringing the girl out of Poland, where threats had been made against her life by security police. He said Scarbeck, obviously by the use of influence, succeeded in getting the girl to West Germany, where she now is in a convent. The information passed by Scarbeck was of the type "freely passed around at cocktail parties all over the world.” Klein said. He said the only information given to the Communists by Scarbeck was given by word of mouth and no documents changed hands. Capone Ordered To Turn Over All Cash CHICAGO (UPD — A federal judge today ordered Ralph (Bottles) Capone, older brother of the infamous Scarface Al, to turn over all his ready cash to the government. If Capone is telling the truth. Judge Joseph Sam Perry’s order will leave him broke. The Internal Revenue Service is trying to get $230,000 in delinquent taxes and penalties on Capone's income during the prohibition beer racket days 0f"1926 through 1928. Tt is the oldest federal income tax case still books. Capone, now a balding, 68-year-old Wisconsin fishing camp proprietor, testified in Perry’s court last week that all he has to his name is $17,000 to $20,000. Today, Asst. U.S. Atty. Gen, Harvey Silets demanded that Capone hand over “approximately $20,000” as partial payment of his taxes. Perry signed the order and set a deadline for next Wednesday. Capone’s lawyer, Richard E. Gorman, said his client “will submit the money by next Wednesday but it will be "omewhere in the area of $20,000. It will be a substantial amount.”

Kennedy Back To His Office

. WASHINGTON (UPD—President Kennedy was pronounced* “practically recovered” today from a slight strep throat and -virus infection which kept him in bed for’ more than 24 hours. An early morning check by three doctors found Kennedy’s temperature normal and his general condition improving. The President ate a normal breakfast, dres-’ed and conferred in his second floor study with Japanese Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda who paid a farewell call. Kennedy also had discarded the crutches he has used in recent weeks for his sore back. He was smiling and in visible good spirits as he met with Ikeda. He joshed with photographers and newsmen during his meeting with the premier. Kennedy planned to stay out of bed the rest of the day, but away from his office. He planned to hold several engagements in the family quarters of the White House. Although he still was a bit weak from Thursday morning’s fever, the President, according to Press Secretary Pierre Salinger, wa« “feeling fine.” Kennedy planned to go to his family estate at Glen Ora outside Middleburg, Va., Saturday morning for the weekend, returning to Washington sometime Monday. Meantirpe, laboratory reports from blood samples and throat cultures showed that the President had suffered from a touch of strep throat as well as a virus. The throat condition responded rapidly

Stevenson To Submit Report / -JL

WASHINGTON (UPD — Adlai Stevenson reported today a good start on the groundwork for President Kennedy’s multi-billion dollar alliance for progress program in Latin America. The U.N. ambassador, back from a 19-day, 10-nation, 6,647mile air tour of 10 South American capitals, planned to submit his findings to the President at the White House. He was expected to report that although he found the situation in South America has deteriorated to a point where it is easily exploitable by the Communists, individual governments are showing new awareness and readiness to meet economic and social problems. Estimates Cost $3 Billion « Stevenson returned Thursday night with an unofficial estimate that it would take $3 billion to meet the financial needs of the biggest countries in the hemisphere over the next decade. On his arrival at Washington National Airport from Puerto Rico, he termed his mission “successful in all respects.” Stevenson said he had found “tremendous interest and hope” in Kennedy’s alliance for progress. He added: “The conviction is universal that more rapid social development , is absolutely essential. While this is a long range undertaking, it is important to demonstrate promptly that we are making progress on this point.” K The Kennedy emissary said he was gratified by the awareness of South American leaders that “old molds have to be broken and that society which dozs not translate economic progress into social progress is doomed.” Recognise Red Problem He said that there was - widespread concern in the countries he ‘visited about whether the U.S. Congress would support the alli-

to penicillin. Indicating his rapid improvement, Kennedy walked out to the north portico of the White House 'to say goodby to the Japanese prime minister. Dr. Janet Travell, the White House physician, wanted the chief executive to remain in his second floor quarters today with a light schedule of official visitors. In addition to seeing ’ Ikeda, the schedule called for meetings with Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Adlai E. Stevenson, just back from his South American mission. It also included meetings with some of his staff and a visit from Dr. Nathan Pu§ey, president of Harvard University. INDIANA WEATHER Fair and cool tonight. Fair and a little warmer Saturday.

ance for progress program “so as to make it fully effective.” But Stevenson said the Western Hemisphere now knows that to barter liberty for social gains is too high a price to pay. “If there was any idea that communism in Cuba is only a problem for the United States, I believe we dispelled thi s illusion,” he said. $333 Is Paid Here In Fox Bounties Adams county has paid out $333 of its SSOO appropriation in fox bounties up to June 21, Ed Jaberg, county auditor, reports. Os this amount, SB7 alone has been paid out in June, the high of the year. One hunter has collected $33 this month, based on the rate of $3 per fox. If the appropriation is exhausted before the end of the year, the county council is asked for additional funds. Extra funds were required last year, when the appropriation was set at S4OO. To claim a fox bounty in Adams county, it is necessary to present the whole fox as evidence. One or both ears are then clipped off. Neighboring Allen county requires the tongue of the animal for the $3 bounty, while some northwestern Ohio counties require only the feet or tail. Commissioners from Allen county and the northwestern Ohio counties are studying the possibility of establishing a uniform law to curtail or prevent double or triple county collections resulting from the present different demands. Adams county would cooperate in every way with the authorities in the bordering counties; Jaberg stated.

HAVANA (UPD—Premier Fidel Castro today brushed aside an American committee’s offer to exchange 500 farm-type tractors for invasion prisoners. Instead he offered to send a prisoners’ delegation to the United States for further negotiations. Castro called the proposal of the Tractors for Freedom Committee a “ridiculous offer.” He sent a message to the committee’s Detroit headquarters shortly before a noon deadline set by the committee for a reply to its tractor«-for-prisoners offer. The bearded Cuban leader in a message to the committee’s Detroit headquarters said his government was demanding one of three things: 500 giant bull-dozers and tractors with spare parts and extras. —A number of small farm tractors who'e total value would equal the proposed 500 king-size bulldozers. —Ah exchange of an equal number of “political” prisoners held by the U.S., Spain, Puerto Rico, Guatemala and Nicaragua for the invaders his government holds. Castro told the committee that its refusal to give him anything more than 500 small farm tractors “has no other purpose except to break off negotiations and to blame the Cuban government for it.” • . He said the “committee lies in asserting that Cuba has changed its original proposal. That is a scheme on your part to confuse U.S. public opinion and the relatives (in the U.S.) of the prisoners.” / He blasted the committee for suggesting that Cuba could “accept your ridiculous offer of tractors whose power and value do not even satisfy even a fraction of the damage caused by the criminal and cowardly invasion against Cuba that was organized by the government of the United States which is also responsible for a series of economic and political aggressions aimed at increasing the hunger and misery of our people.” In Detroit, a spokesman for the committee said it had received a cable from Cuba containing Castro’s latest proposal and” that the cable was being translated into English. Radio Havana said Castro accused the committee of “using falsehoods in an attempt to break off the talks,” and complained that it had taken no notice of his alternative offer to exchange his captives for “political prisoners of the United States and other countries. Late Bulletins WASHINGTON (UP I) — President Kennedy called Cabinet officers and congressional leaders to a White House lunch conference today, primarily to discuss the Ber- ' lin situation. NEW YORK (UPD —The American Merchant Marine Institute today accepted President Kennedy’s proposal for a 60-day suspension of the nationwide maritime strike. Edward Kaehr Dies Early This Morning .

House Group Votes Funds For Defense

WASHINGTON (UPD — The House Appropriations Committee today voted President Kennedy just about ah the $43 billion he "WUHto/ior defense fn the next 12 months. But it warned him waste is rife in the military and that Pentagon paper shufflers may be tossing away the country’s edge over Russia. The committee put into the annual defense money bill not only most of what Kennedy asked, for missiles, planes, ships, and manpower, but a few hundred million he did not want and likely will not spend. It made funds available for continued production «of the 852 and 858 bombers or faster work on the 2,000-mile-an-hour 870 bomber. It provided money for a rush job on the Air Force Dyna-Soar, a manned orbital glider which the committee said could be pushed to completion three years sooner than planned. The biH’s $43,936,105,000 total was but $6,240,000 less than Kennedy asked, the committee noted. In its report on the bin the committee said so many layers of bureaucrats' have been piled one on top of the other through the years that crucial decisions are delayed. Russia can build in five years or less new weapons systems that take this country eight or 10 years to develop, the report declared. The committee said it found “shocking examples” of waste and inefficiency, “flagrant” abuse of regulations and laws, and too many cases where the responsible general was rewarded with a commendation and transfer while a junior officer or civilian took the rap if anyone did. „ The committee, in a report prepared by Rep. George H. Mahon, D-Tex., commended Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara for the “vigor and intelligent manner 0 in which he has tackled such management problems in the vast defense machine since Jan. 20. Lowell Smiths To Be Exchange'Parents' Mr. and Mrs. Lowell J. Smith, of 515 W. Jefferson street, have been selected by the New York office of the American Field Service to be the “parents” of the 1961-62 foreign exchange student who will attend Decatur high school next fall. From the several families who made application for next year’s student, the Smiths were chosen by the New York committee. — The local chapter of the AFS was advised of this choice Thursday, with the information also that Decatur will entertain another girl during the school year. Her name and country of origin has not yet been disclosed. This year Miss Maria Hulda de Oliveria of Brazil lived with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gage and attended the Decatur Catholic high school. She will leave tomorrow for Indianapolis where she will joint, a three weeks’ bus trip of several states before leaving for home. Smith is a teacher in the Decatur high school and will still have one daughter at home, Kathy, who will be a junior in high school. In making their application, the Smiths had requested a girl student. The Decatur chapter of the American Field Service has completed plans for the entertainment of 35 foreign exchange students who will arrive by bus July 3 for a three-day visit here. Their tour originated in Lincoln, Neb., and will join with the other 2,000 students in Washington, D. C., for a visit in the nation’s capital before leaving for their homes overseas.

Seven Cents

Exchange Student Is Rotary Speaker Miss Maria Hulda de Oliveria, this year’s foreign exchange student from Brazil was the speaker at Thursday night’s Decatur Rotary club meeting at the’Decatur Youth and Community Center. M. J. Pryor was chairman and Dr. James M. Burk spoke briefly as president of the Decatur chapter of American Field Service. Pryor first introduced Dr. Burk, who gave a brief history of the American Field Service. He explained that this organization, begun during World War I, bad sponsored an exchange of student at the college level between wars, but had decided in 1947 to sponsor teenage exchange students. Decatur will not be able to send a student abroad this year simply because a suitable home overseas could not be found. There were 2,500 finalists who qualified in every way, including Steve Blythe of Decatur, but only 1,500 suitable homes could be found in foreign countries. Maria spoke in the third person describing a girl in Brazil with a dream of coming to America. She told how her dream came to thrilling reality during her visit to Decatur. She thanked the Decatur Rotary club which provided the financial support to make her trip to America possible. She concluded with a solo in both English and Spanish which she had sung in a recent play at Decatur Catholic high school. During a question and answer period she said that in Brazil each high school student must take five languages, which are Latin, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. She said with a smile that she thought American boys were a bit shy. After returning to Brazil, she will enter • the university to major in English : and become a teacher. Roy Kalver, vice president of the local A. F. S. chapter, announced that the American parents for next year’s student had been selected by the New York office, but the girl student has not yet been named. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gage, who were the American parents this year, were guests at last night’s meeting. President George Thomas announced that the district governor for this Rotary district will visit the Decatur club July 13 and asked all committee chairmen to file their reports.
