Record Loans Under ’ ' -r/ 1 Credit Association Farmers of this area have coni tributed to the all-time record set June 30 in the amount of production credit outstanding, reports Forrest E. Duncan, Jr., of the Eastern Indiana Production Credit Association. The Eastern Indiana Production Credit Association made *7,855,395 in loans during the first six months of 1981. This is an increase of *1,263,028 over the same period a year ago. A mid-year report from the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank in Louisville, through which the local PCA gets the money for its loans to local farmers, showed that the district bank passed the $250 million mark in loans outstanding on June 30. This was the largest amount the 40 production credit associations in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee had borrowed from the district bank on their farmermember notes since they began operating 27 years ago. Farmers need more credit than 1 ever to operate at the high level of efficiency necessary to stay in business today, said H. C. Mayward, president of the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank. Today the average size loan outstanding is $4,160. This compares with $2,430 five years ago. Reflected in the larger sized loans, Hayward pointed out, is the fact that more large farmers are obtaining their credit from production credit associations. It is also true that the local associations are serving more farmers of all sizes and types of operation because they have established many new field offices to make their service convenient to more farmers. Suspect Grilled In Bridegroom's Death SUSPECT GRILLED IN INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— A possible suspect in the fatal shooting of a young bridegroom faced a second lie detector test today. Police said a lie detector test taken Thursday afternoon by the suspect was inconclusive and they planned a second,test. A paraffin test to determine whether he had fired a gun recently also was inconclusive. J , ... • _ ' _• . Al Officers admitted, however, they had "nothing concrete” to link the man to the shooting early Wednesday of Thomas Hancock, 22, who was killed while trying to protect his 18-year-old bride of eight days from an intruder in their home. The suspect was arrested a few hours after the slaying for the beating of an elderly woman who found an intruder in her house when she returned home from a shopping trip. Lawrence Goodloe, 34, was charged with burglary and assault and battery in connection with the attack on the woman. Police already were seeking him on charges of larceny and firstdegree burglary. Hancock was shot once in the chest with a .25 caliber pistol during a struggle with the intruder who entered the apartment through a kitchen window. Police found partial fingerprints on the window frame but said they were indistinct.

King Asserts Segregation Is Now Dead By United Frew International The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. told a crowd of 2,500 Integrationists in Jackson, Miss., Thursday night that “segregation is dead.” The only question remaining, King said, “is how expensive the segregationists will make the funeral." The Negro minister from Atlanta, acknowledged leader of the South’s integrationistt, drew cheers when he declared: “We will wear you down by our capacity to suffer.” The rally was sponsored by the newly formed Jackson non-violent movement. Similar organizations have sent 169 “freedom riders” into the Mslsissippi capital since May 24. All were arrested in attempts to break down segregation statutes in bus, train and plane terminals. Six Negro teen-agers who had listened to King’s speech later went to a downtown bus station . and attempted to purchase tickets in the terminal’s “white” waiting room. They were arrested by police when they refused to leave the segregated section of the terminal. Earlier in the day, the Justice Department filed suit in Jackson charging that Negroes in Clarke and Forrest counties in Mississippi are being deprived of voting rights. Two representatives of Minnesota Gov. Elmer L. Anderson visited the state penitentiary at Parchman, Miss., to see how five imprisoned “freedom riders” from their state were faring. Mrs. Wright Brooks, chairman of the Minnesota Human Rights Commission, and Asst. Atty. Gen. John Casey Jr. were sent to the penitentiary for a “first hand” look at the situation. The two talked with the five jailed riders, all white males, and were told the Muinesota natives were not being mistreated. All expressed a dislike for the maximum security cellblock in which, they are being held, however. Casey said later before he and Mrs. Brooks departed for Minnesota they planned no statements before talking with Anderson. But Casey did say, "Any comment I would have to make would probably be appreciated by the prison officials.” Runs Into Cur, Boy Only Slightly Hurt A Decatur boy escaped serious injury when he ran into the side of a car on Oak street at 3:40 p.m. Thursday.

They wouldn’t cooperate, however, and finally the sheriff’s department and the state police were called to the scene to take the Berne couple to the county jail, where they spent the night. Mrs. Neuenschwander entered a plea of guilty this morning, while Neuenschwander pleaded not guilty. He later changed his plea to guilty. Couple Spoke In speaking for themselves, the couple explained that they didn’t think they were “making any more noise than anyone else.” Deputy prosecutor Lewis L. Smith, however. explained that the investigating officers tried to quiet them down, but finally it became apparent the only course of action to be taken was to take them to jail, and then it took three different departments to .take them. Smith explained th the NeuenSchwanders that “you are welcome in oUr city at any time, but we will not tolerate such action as you demonstrated last night in our city of Decatur.”
