$235 Million Road Program In State

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Chairman David Cohen of the Indiana State Highway Commission announced today a $235 million road construction program for 1963-65, including about 669 miles. The largest project was Interstate 69 from near Pendleton to the Fort Wayne area, connecting with present construction, and northeastward to the Northern Indiana Toll Road in Steuben County. The Interstate 69 project totaled about 104 of the 352 miles of interstate highway construction planned for the two-year period beginning July 1, 1963. No further construction on the Tri-State connecting highway in the Chicago area is contemplated during the two years, Cohen said. However, he denied that this represents a changed policy. He said he was under pressure from the Indiana Toll Road Commission to slow down on Tri-State construction. “We do not propose to do any more on Tri-State in this program,” Cohen said. “Competition with the toll road is one reason. Another is that Michigan won’t be to the state line by then. This is jQpt K a switch in policy. We arg just trying to give the public a good route between principal cities. We do not have a good route to Detroit now, and that’s why there’s so much emphasis on Interstate 69.” Cohen said 69 would “very definitely” help the toll road. "We are under pressure from the toll road commission not to complete Tri-State," Cohen said. The program announced by Cohen estimated the total cost at $235 million. This would include 668 miles and a number of bridges. Os this, the interstate program of 352 miles would cost about $162 million, the primary road program of 173 miles would cost about $35 million, the urban road program of 41 miles would cost about s2l million, and the secondary road program of 97 miles would cost about sls million. There was no Interstate 70 construction in the program. “The problem is, the route is not approved,” Cohen said, referring to the proposed highway from Richmond to Terre Haute. Howeve, Cohen’s outline of planned preliminary engineering work for the next two years is heavily concentrated on this road. Cohen said the program includes actual building of 408 miles, right of way acquisition of 144 miles and preliminary engineering of 115 miles. The federal government will share from 50 to 90 per cent of the cost, depending on whether the road is secondary or interstate. 4 The construction program calls for building 167 bridges on the four interstate routes on which the building work is being con-centrated—-105 bridges on Interstate 59, 28 on Interstate 65, 21 on Interstate 465 and 13 on Interstate 74. The interstate mileage construction calls for 22 miles on Interstate 65, all in Lake County; 17 miles on Interstate 74 .in MontLate Bulletins MANILA (UPD—Vice President Diosdado Macapagal took .....— an ear |y lead' today over Presi- >. dent Carlos Garcia in initial unofficial returns in the race for president of the Philippines.

Put Algerian - Rebel Leaders Into Hospital I PARIS (UPl)—The government clamped three Algerian rebel ’ into a hospital outside Paris early today to keep them from starving to death. The Moslems, on a self-imposed hunger strike since Nov. 2, entered against their will. Their lawyer called the move a “kidnaping.” Physicians attending the men were moved to the hospital to make forced feeding easier to carry out if it should become necessary. Until ambulances took them away the three had been held in the Chateau Turquant, about 190 miles away in the Loire valley. All are ministers in the rebel Algerian provisional government based in Tunis. They began to refuse food — taking only some water each day —to dramatize demands for their release before resumption of Algerian peace talks. Five thousand other Moslem prisoners of the French followed them on the hunger strike. French President Charles de Gaulle said recently that new negotiations could start “any day” providing neither side set “prior conditions.” Last Sunday, Algerian spokesman Mohammed Yazid issued a statement saying the French government could not expect the rebel government to discuss a cease - fire while the ministers ministers were “in danger of dying.” Central Soya Service Award Dinner Friday Veteran employes of the Decatur plant of the Central Soya Co. will be honored at a service award dinner at 6:30 o’clock Friday evening at the Decatur Youth and Community Center.

Decatur, Indiana, Tuesday, November 14, 1961.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Counterfeit $lO bills are flooding New York and popping up in ’ small numbers in other states as far west as California, the Secret Service reorted today. Chief James J. Rowley considers the problem the most acute to confront the Secret Service in years. He and aides are planning a special effort to alert the public. Although the bogus slo’s are not top quality counterfeits, they are so deceptive that some are getting by bank tellers. Limited numbers of $1 bills,l hard to distinguish from good money, have appeared recently in San Francisco, Toledo and Cleveland. They pose a special problem because $1 counterfeits are uncommon and people are even less likely to check and see if they are genuine. Favor Christmas Season Only last spring a rash of counterfeit S2O bills appeared in New York and bedeviled the Secret Service until agents found the printing plant in Union City, N.J. Despite intense efforts by Secret Service agents to track down the source of supply, the phony slo's have been appearing in increasing numbers in New York City. Rowley told United Press International that because "the Christmas shopping season is favored by counterfeiters for putting counterfeit money into circulation, it is especially important for everyone — merchants and shoppers—to be alert.” » Public Advice Rowley offered the public this advice: “If a note is suspected of being counterfeit, it should be compared with a genuine note. “If you receive a counterfeit note, do not return the bill to the passer. Delay the passer, if possible, and notify the local office, of the U.S. Secret Service or local police. If the passer leaves, note his description and, if he has a car, note the description and license number. “Remember, not all strangers are counterfeiters, but all counterfeiters are likely to be strangers.” Other cities in which the counterfeit $lO bills have turned up are New Haven and Stamford. Conn., Boston, Newark, N.J., Miami, Fla., Chicago, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Scranton, Pa., Syracuse, N.Y., Baltimore, Providence, R.1., Omaha, Neb., Cleveland and Youngstown, Ohio, Franklin, Va., Wheeling, W.Va., and Charlotte, Asheville, Raleigh, Rocky Mount, Fairmont, Goldsboro and Wilmington, N.C.

Los Angeles Fire Threat Is Easing

LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Decreasing winds and heroic work by ground crews gave an optimistic forecast for containment today to a ravaging 2,300-acre brush fire that has destroyed 10 structues. “It’s looking pretty good, the winds are very’slight and we have a favorable forecast of rising humidity,” announced Sim Jarvi, Angeles National Forest supervisor. Jarvi and County Fire Chief Keith Klinger jointly praised the work of borate bomber crews who had pounced on the fire when it started Monday in Tujunga Canyon about 25 miles north of here. They hoped for complete control by day’s end. Fire lines were strengthened during the night by 600 men. The city, county and forest crews used pumper trucks and bulldozers to solidify their positions,

carving out wide swaths of brush and setting small backfires to stop advancing flames. A dozen borate bombers, converted World War II planes, were on the alert at surrounding airports, ready to answer the call if fire lines were ruptured. Additional ground crew also were* standing by. High winds that reached 80 miles an hour at times had plagued Southern California for two days when the fire broke out. Forecasts of renewed gusts were reversed during the night by the Weather Bureau. The fire struck in Tujunga Canyon then spread into Kagel and Lopez and other canyons pushed by 50-mile-an-hour winds that engulfed the scattered structures. It was the second major holocaust in eight days and was under investigation as possibly set by an arsonist.

The movie started out with a magazine reporter being assigned by his editor to find out why so many people are investing in mutual funds today. The reporter investigates a number of the funds, and then reports beck on Wellington, including a summary of its officers and their background, and Bow they got started. “More than 15 million Americans today share in ownership of American business. Some buy their own shares of stock in opererating companies, considering the risk involved, the capital growth, and the income. Others invest in mutuals, which are companies which invest the money for their investors in a diversified portfolio of solid stocks and bonds, both or either, depending on the mutual fund. Charts Show Reasoning “A chart showing industrial growth since 1900, increases in dividends, and stock prices, as compared with the cost of living, shows that, overall, purchase of common stocks is a prudent way of combatting inflation. “Since any individual stock may vary greatly, only by having a large portfolio of stocks, or a large amount invested, is the investor covered for every field. "Mutual fund management, such as the Wellington Fund, searches for security values, and buys and sells from its portfolio based on current, accurate information. Various Types “Like other large mutual funds, the Wellington group includes specific types of investment enterprises which include administration, management, and research and statistical services. Wellington Fund was established in 1928, and now has current resources, as of June 30, of $1,289,000,000. “More than 311,000 shareholders take part in the Wellington group. These include 96,907 women, 127,640 men, 69,646 joint accounts, 16,646 institutions, 7,402 banks and individual trustees, 6,733 guardians, executors and administrators, 282 employe, pension, and profitsharing funds, 945 fraternal and public association. 444 corporations and insurance companies, 315 hospitals, homes, and educational organizations, and 525 church and religious organizations. “There are five types of programs for building your accounts, and taking the profits from it.” Bridge Over 27 Is Included In Program Included in the road program announced today by the Indiana state highway commission is construction of a bridge on U.

Violence On Election Day In Philippines MANILA (UPD—Scattered violence broke out in the Philippines today during national presidential and congressional elections which capped one of the bloodiest political campaigns in this nation’s history. One political worker was reported shot to death by a policeman. There were several reports of aremd intimidation and ballot box stuffing. The mother of one congressional candidate was given a heavy body guard after being threatened. An estimated 7 million or more voters cast ballots to determine if President Carlos P. Garcia, 65, of the Nacionalista party, should remain in office or Vice President Diosdado Macapagal, 51, of the opposition Liberal party, should take over for the next four years. Both candidates are staunchly anti-Communist and pro-American and the campaign was fought mainly on domestic issues. The Philippine News Service reported 39 persons were killed and 44 wounded in violence stemming from the hot, 10-month campaign leading up to the election—a third higher than the last two elections. At stake besides the presidency were the vice presidency — which js decided separately — all 95 seats in the House of Representatives and 8 of the 24 Senate seats. In the outgoing congress Garcia’s Nacionalista party had absolute majorities in both chambers — 76 seats in the House and 16 in the Senate. Elections in the Philippines always have been marked by violence but this year appeared to be the roughest since the country gained independnce from the United States in 1946.

East Germans Purge Stalin

BERLIN (UPI) — The East German Communists, following the line laid down in Moscow, purged the name and image of Josef Stalin from their territory today and predicted the overthrow of Albania’s Stalinist leaders. The East Germans tore down a huge statue of Stalin in East Berlin under coyer of darkness and changed the names of factories, streets and cities that bore the name of the late Soviet dictator. The East German youth newspaper Young World published statements by Red German leaders denouncing Albania. Horst Schumann, head of the Communist youth organization, said Albania’s leaders “have excluded themselves from the community of Socialist nations” and “are traveling the road to anticommunism.” Deputy Defense Minister Gen. Heinz Kessler said, “sooner or later healthy forces in the Albanian wording class will come out on t0p...” Communist police and workers went into action at 2 a.m. to wipe

ments have hampered the use of the television supplementaries in the Lincoln school. The local school district's average daily attendance has been almost three-fourths of a unit above that expected. This will mean an increase of about 13,500 in state aid to the Decatur schools. An additional appropriations resolution was passed by the board for $7,200 in tuition because of the addition of members of the teaching staff. There was also a transfer of funds, as increased maintenance has depleted that fund. Appoint Spaulding Final action was taken concerning the appointment of Dr. John B. Spaulding to the Decatur library board. Dr. Spaulding, who is currently secretary of the library board, was reappointed to a four-year term. It was also noted that there will be a tree planting ceremony at the Southeast school Thursday at 1:30 p. m. The money for the trees was donated to the school by the Rose Garden club.

As the sun rose, only the base of the monument still stood and that too was ordered removed. Stalin Allee, the big new East Berlin boulevard on which the statue stood, was renamed Karl Marx Allee and Frankfurter Allee. The city of Stalinstadt—once hailed by the Communists as Germany’s “first Socialist city”—was combined with Fuerstenberg and renamed Eisenhuettenstadt.
