The State And The Union Richard Ristine, Indiana’s lieutenant governor, is a capable young man. To those who know him well, he is undoubtedly very personable. Observing him in action, from afar, there can be little doubt that he is already campaigning for governor of Indiana in 1964, regardless of the fact that he was elected as lieutenant governor. One of the duties of the lieutenant governor of Indiana is to act as the state’s secretary of agriculture. To date, we have heard no resounding pronouncements from the lieutenant governor’s office concerning plans for improving agricultural conditions within the state. In away, this is safe.' If nothing is done, there is much less room for criticism. On the other hand, Ristine has made no effort to hold back any and all pronouncements of criticism of Governor Matthew Welsh. Welsh receives "news release’’ criticism from Ristine, his "co-operative” lieutenant, frequently and regularly. Naturally, it is easy for those doing little to criticize those doing something they feel right. Ristine’s job, much to the surprise of those who voted for him for lieutenant governor, seems to be trying to get a Republican back in the Governorship of the state. It will be interesting, in 1964, to see to what extent the Republican nominee, whoever that may be, stresses co-operation. • • * • The Brass Trumpet ° • / Vice-Admiral Hyman G. Kickover is an interesting person. Part of the interest stems from the fact that he likes to make controversial statements. Whether these statements are mostly for show or not is one of academic argument. What they say is still interesting. So interesting, in fact, that the admiral is attempting to get many of those speeches, given at the expense and for the enlightment of the taxpayers, copy-righted, presumably for publication in book form. F Some of those statements include one to the effect that there should be separate colleges for athletes, where all they did was participate in sports. Another statement attributed to the admiral is that no government contract money should be used by firms obtaining those contracts to advertise in any manner — even for labor. - Naturally, the latter would hit members of this media in areas with a large concentration of defensework factories and firms. The first statement could be sour grapes, or it could be from a man who feels that money spent on education should not be used for athletics. In either case, it is generous of the admiral < to save the taxpayers money from foolish uses so that more of it can be devoted to paying for speeches by informed persons.

Miss Taft, a slim and vivacious woman with a few streaks of gray in her curly dark hair, is manager of the International Business Machines (IBM) education center in New York. Few other women hold such jobs and Miss Taft is one of the pioneers in computer instructing. She estimated that she has taught 100.000 students operations of the various electronic computers which can do everything from translating Russian to playing chess to simulating space shots to calculating the exact amount of ingredients for making sausages. “But they will only do what you tell them," she said.

Fresh Food Supplies Abundant This Week WASHINGTON (UPD — Midsummer shoppers will find an abundance of fresh foods at their favorite*markets this weekend.

Machines can do amazing things. But so can people. Machines will remain the tools of man’s mind.” Majored In History Born in New York, Helen Taft was graduated from Horace Mann High School where she failed mathematics the first time around, and from Barnard College where she majored in ancient history; “I’m a precision type of thinker . however,” she said. “I play bridge. I like crossword puzzles.” The year of her graduation from college in 1941, IBM training squad recruiters Interviewed 30 girls at Barnard and hired two —one of them, Helen Taft. That year, the firm hired 44 other girls from around the country. She is the only one of the original group still on the staff.

Classes have an international flavor, with British army majors and Japanese businessmen enrolled. Miss Taft sees the rapidly expanding field of electronic computing a dandy one for women because “they don’t get bored in routine tasks as easily as men. "Women have logical, well-or-dered minds, and aptitude for attention jxrdetail.” She said the emphasis today is on hiring instructors with college -majors in math., but the subject is not a strict requirement. The firm also has enrolled history and economics majors and one of her staff is a former professional pianist.

Benson Admits School Blast Story A Hoax HENDERSON, Tex. (UPD—Exconvict William Estel Benson has confessed that his story of causing the 1937 New London, Tex., school explosion that killed 293 persons was “all a hoax." Benson, arrested in Oklahoma City, Okla., Monday night for questioning about a S3B robbery, blurted out a story of loosening gas pipes under the school to get even with the principal for scolding him about smoking. "He signed a statement in Dallas last night saying he did not loosen any pipe or pipes whatsoever under the New London high school in 1937," Dist. Atty. William Ferguson of Rusk county, Tex., announced today. Benson’s statement said: "It built up in me in Oklahoma City to get a lot of publicity out of this story so I went along with the newsmen, TV cameramen and police department.” Ferguson, Texas Ranger Jim Ray and Rusk county Sheriff Pete Gibson took custody of Benson Wednesday in City and- brought him tn Henderson early today. En route, they stopped in Dallas, Tex., and gave him a second lie detector test. It showed he was lying. An earlier lie detector test in Oklahoma City was inconclusive because of Benson’s nervousness. *

Proof Is Lacking On Insecticide Poison WASHINGTON rUPD—An Agriculture Department chemist today said “proof is lacking” that two widely used insecticides cause mental illness. Justus C. Ward, head of the department's pesticides regulation branch, said “if you follow’ the label, you won’t get hurt.” The current issue of Newsweek magazine quotes two Australian researchers as saying psychiatric symptoms result from prolonged exposure to insecticides derived from deadly nerve gases. The insecticides included two preparations called parathion and malathion. Parathion, the more powerful of the two, is used on fields and orchards. Safety equipment must be used when the chemical insecticide is applied, usually by spraying. Malathion is used widely in the home and in urban areas to kill all sorts of bugs, including cockroaches, flies and other ’ pests. Malathion often is packaged in aerosol bombs to facilitate home use. 12-Year-Old Boy Is Killed In Fire MOUNT VERNON, Ind. (UPD— Edward Lee Bulla, 12, was killed late Wednesday night in a fire in his -home, apparently because he ran back into the burning structure to rescue a pet dog. The boy’s parents ~ and two brothers were Injured as they fled the flames. Firemen said Edward awakened at 10:45 p.m. and shouted “the house is on fire!” His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Bulla, jumped out of bed and found the interior of the living room and two bedrooms ablaze. Mrs. Bulla pushed a 2-year-old daughter, Joyce, and a 3-week-old son, Gordon, out of a window, while Bulla herded Edward, 14-year-old Charles and 7-year-old Jerry out through a rear door. Suddenly Edward dashed back into the house. Firemen said there was no explanation for him to reenter the house, since all members of the family had escaped, but that he may have returned to look for his dog. The flames were so fierce that Bulla told firemen he could not get back inside to save Edward. Firemen found the boy’s body in a bathtub. The dog was dead beneath a bed. Edward was not burned. Cor-

Kennedy Happy On Program Support

WASHINGTON (UPD — President Kennedy ended his first six months in the White House today with satisfaction about progress on the domestic front but serious concern about international developments. . ■ ■ —-—- He is happy about the support Congress has given to his legislative program so far — but dismayed about and determined to keep fighting against strong opposition to his aid to education and foreign aid programs. Physically, Kennedy appears to have recovered much of his old zip after a back injury that had him on crutches for two weeks in June. The 44-year-old President also seems again to be showing the forceful confidence which was one of his trademarks until the Cuban invasion debacle subdued him and many key aides. With the Berlin crisis buildtefg up steam, with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev rattling his saber and the Western Allies searching for plans to meet the Red threat, Kennedy is beset by problems which were on his doorstep when he arrived and have been growing ever since. Threat To, Laos Continues The Communist threat to Laos still exists, and South Viet Nam is still a trouble spot which could breed more conflict unless Communist dangers let up. Kennedy was asked at his news conference Wednesday to comment on the “vicissitudes of the presidency” in his first half-year. In his reply fie noted that problems are facing the United States all over the globe and at home, too, where “we still have this problem of rather chronic unemployment.” ■ ~ .J- ■ ~ - “My ’ judgement is that the American people and this government and the Congress must realize that we are in a long struggle which we will be involved with for a great many years against very powerful countries,” Kennedy said. At home, Kennedy said he has been “pleased with the progress

we have made internally” in bringing the nation out of a re-’ cession. He also voiced pleasure at congressional passage of some bills which Democrats have tried unsuccessfully to push through for a number of years. Social Security Liberalized During Kennedy’s first six months, he has signed into law bills to liberalize the Social Security program, boost the minimum wage, expand the area redevelopment program, extend unemployment compensation, finance highway construction, housing, and provide aid to children of unemployed parents. He also has signed bills carrying out his feed grains and food for peace programs, and extending the Sugar Act. With the signing of a water potation control bill today, Kennedy will have won victories on 13 of the 19 major items of legislation he has proposed to Congress. However, there are still some “highest priority” bills pending and in deep trouble. Aid to education is among them, along with Kennedy’s proposal for authoriza-i tion of $7.3 billion in use of nonappropriated Treasury funds over five years to finance long-term foreign aid loans. If you have something to sell or trade — use Democrat want ads — they get BIG results. U- t y.<'■ NEW STORE HOURS 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day except Sunday. Hot Doughnuts every nite after 7 p. m.
