Fanners Need A Secondary Power Source WASHINGTON (UPD—A Hoosier farm leader says farmers must be guaranteed a secondary source of power, even if this requires a national grid, if they are to fulfill their responsibility for feeding the nation in case of enemy attack. John Raber, president of the Indiana Farmers Union, reported this conclusion was reached at informal discussions last week among farm leaders attending sessions of various agricultural advisory committees here. The government already is embarked on such a study, under orders from President Kennedy. The President, in his natural resources message to Congress last Feb. 23, directed Interior Secretary Stewart Udall to plan power pooling and the early interconnection of regions served by the power marketing agencies of the federal government, wherever feasible. The first such ieport, expected before the year’s end, will deal with a special task force's study of a northwest-southwest inter-tie on the Pacific Coast. Connection!? Studied An engineers’ report is now being written on the feasibility of such a connection between the Bonneville Power Administration, covering Oregon, Washington, Idaho and part of Montana, with Los Angeles in Southern California. Still under study is the possibility of a similar link between the eastern marketing division of the Missouri River Basin and the Southwest Power Administration. Only a 60-mile gap separates the southern-most point of the MRB and the northern tip of SPA. The practicability of inter-con-nection between the MRB’s western marketing division and Bonneville is being discussed. Electrical systems .over . the years have tried to provide secondary sources of power for farms wherever possible, according to Kermit Overby, legislative director of the National Rural Electrical Cooperative Association. Overby said farmers are even more dependent on electricity than are city folk. He cited electrical milkers as an example. Fewer Needs Cited “A farmer hasn’t enough manpower to milk the herd if his power supply fails,” he aid. "And anyway, cows don’t like icy fingers—they’re used to the machines." A poultry farmer could lose a year's crop if power failure shut off his electrical brooders, Overby Mid.

The secondary power supply is intended to avert such disasters, he said, but in Wome areas the population is spread so thin that only a single transmission line has been feasible. Inter-connecting j rover lines would help solve the i problem. A ImK from the Midwest to the Far West would spread the peak load on a daily basis, due to the different time zones, and thus provide more constant use of the available power. The same would be true on a seasonal basis with inter-connec-tions between the Northwest, where winter heating brings the heaviest demand, and Southern California, where summer-time irrigating and air-conditioning creates the peak power load. Wildcat Strike Al Alexandria Ended ALEXANDRIA. Ind. (UPD— About 200 workers returned to their jobs at the Johns-Manville Corp, plant today after a wildcat strike that began Thursday. All were members of Local 805 of the International Papermakers and Paperworkers Union whose officials said the walkout was unauthorized. Pickets were withdrawn from the plant late last week. Company officials declined comment on reports that three of the union members were fired as a result of the strike. The three who said they were fired were Verl Goforth, who heads a committee of Local 805, local president Virgil Leer and committeeman Ernie Etchison. Leer said officials would meet "soon” to work out the problem of the three fired men, including himself. Runoff Election For Texas Congress Seat WICHITA FALLS, Tex, (UPD— A conservative Republican and a New Frontier Democrat, opponents in a special runoff election for the U.S. House of Representatives in about a month, both agree it will be a severe test of party strength in Texas. The Republican, Joe Meissner, 36, said, “The line is clearly drawn. The runoff election will afford a clear test between me and my conservative platform and another candidate who stands — as he says—’foursquare behind the administration.’ ” The Democrat, Dist. Judge Graham V. Purcel Jr;, 42, said, “The Republican candidate is my adversary in the runoff, so it will be clear cut. I look forward to battling this out on the issues.” Purcel and Meissner were the leaders in a special 13th Congressional District election held Saturday to find a’ successor to Rep. Frank Ikard, who resigned to become executive vice president of the American Petroleum Institute. Three other Democrats trailed far behind. With only 12 precincts, mostly in remote areas still "out, Purcell had 8,935 votes to 6,704 for Meissner. The election was one of the first under a new state law which requires a runoff in all special elections where no one candidate gets a majority vote. Another special election was scheduled for this Saturday. Voters in the 4th Congressional District will elect a successor to the late House Speaker Sam Rayburn who died of cancer Nov. 16.

Kennedy Back To Palm Beach

PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPD— President Kennedy, back from a brief but grueling South American trip, decided to stop off here today in an effort to arrest a "heavy cold.” He had planned to return directly to Washington. Kennedy arrived here at 7:30 a.m. and drove with his wife and father, former ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, to a rented oceanfront estate. The Kennedys will occupy the place during the Christ-j mas holidays instead of crowding in with the President’s father whose home is just a few blocks away. The chief executive after an in-1 tensive two days in Caracas, Venezuela, and Bogota, Colombia, faced another heavy week, including a news conference in Washington Wednesday, and a Thurs-j dav-Friday conference in Bermuda i with British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. Feeling the discomfort of a head cold during the overnight flight from Bogota, Kennedy decided not to go on to Washington as he had planned, but to stop off here for some therapeutic rest in the sun. Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said he was "quite confident" the Chief Executive would fly back to Washington Tuesday. Salinger also said the President’s condition had np relation to the busy Sunday he put in at Bogota where the altitude is over 8,000 feet. Leaves in Chill Night The President's plane took off from Bogota in chill night air at 1:07 a.m. EST. His plane put down shortly before 4 a.m. EST for refueling at Ramey Air Force Base, about 80 miles from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The President’s intensive weekend Latin American tour began in San Juan last Friday. The Chief Executive had planned to stop at West Palm Beach International Airport at 7:30 a.m. just long enough to drop off Mrs. Ken- j nedy. Their two children arrived here last week and have been j staying with the President’s par- , ents. The Chief Executive planned to rejoin his wife and children . here next Friday after the Bermuda meeting. i Shortly before 7 a.m. aboard Air Force One, the President’s jet transport, Salinger told two press association reporters and two "pool” reporters representing the rest of the White House Press:

“The President has a heavy cold and is going to remain In Palm Beach. His present plan is to return to Washington tomorrow.” * buffers Head Congestion Salinger said that during the night flight from Bogota, the President began to suffer symptoms of j head congestion and other discom- , fort associated with upper respiratory tract ailment. The plane was | flying at an altitude at about 1 30,000 feet, but the pressured cabin counteracted effects of the high altitude. At one time during the night, Kennedy sent for Capt. George W. Burkley, the Navy doctor traveling with the President on this trip as White House physician. Burkley examined the President and apparently gave him something to relieve the head congestion. There was no fever, according to Salinger. Burkley saw the President again shortly after he settled down in Palm Beach. The last respiratory ailment that bothered the President was in June. Just as he was recovering from a bout with recurrent back trouble, he came down with a virus infection and after a few days of treatment, came to Palm Beach to throw off the effects. The President is staying here at the estate of Capton Michael Paul, which he already had arranged to rent for the holidays. — U.S. officials and Kennedy himself were delighted with the results of the whirlwind visit. Kennedy issued blunt warnings about the dangers of Communist penetration in the Americas. Advance Communist efforts to spoil the trip failed completely. Gets Big Ovation Colombian officials estimated that 600,000 persons turned out to give the President an ovation in Bogota. Presidential Press Secretary Pierre Salinger "guessed” there were closer to a million. At a glittering banquet Sunday night given by Colombian President Alberto Lleras Camargo, Kennedy gave a solemn warning to the industrialists and landowners of Latin America that they must help with needed land and tax reforms. He said that unless there was full cooperation, Western civilization! would« be wiped " out by “Communist violence.” - Not otkee did Kennedy refer to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro by name but he made obvious references to his regime several times in his warnings against communism. -V Kennedy’s key speeches were broadcast throughout South America. He hoped that his words and visit would provide a spur to the Alliance for Progress program in which S2O billion will be dedicated to developing Latin America over the next decade.

Admit Mistakes “The industrialists and the landowners are, I am sure, also ready to admit past mistakes and accept new responsibilities,” Kennedy said Sunday night. “Unless all of us are willing to contribute our resources to national development, unless all of us are prepared not merely to accept, but to initiate, basic land and tax reforms, unless all of us take the lead in improving the Welfare of the people of our countries, then that leadership will be taken from us and the heritage of centuries of Western civilization will be consumed in a few months of violence.” Kennedy started his tour last Friday in Puerto Rico, spending: the night in San Juan with .Qov. Luis Munoz Marin. He flew to Caracas Saturday, spent the night there, and then flew to Bogota Sunday.

Blizzard-Like Snow Pounding From Rockies By United Press International Blizzard-like snow and 50 - mile winds pounded out of the Rockies into the Northern Plains today and Dixie’s floodwaters sent hundreds fleeing. Killer sleet glazed the northeast. More than 150 persons fled homes in Mississippi Sunday when the Pearl River climbed 16 feet above flood stage and scores more were expected to evacuate today. Others were fleeing from along th rising Tombigbee, Leaf, Big Black, Chicasawhay, Bogue Chitto and Pascagoula Rivers. At least three highways were blocked. Two deaths were blamed on the rain and high water. In central Alabama 250 persons were homeless along the Alabama and Cahaba Rivers, which were expected to crest 12 feet above flood stage today. The Pacific Northwest cleared rubble from one of its worst wind storms in years. Three-inch rains washed the deep south. Fog blanketed the south Atlantic states. Minnesota got its third heavy snowfall in 10 days. There was snow in Michigan, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and northern New England. Cold wave warnings were up as far east as lowa for polar air trailing the Great Plains snow. The 36-hour toll of weatherblamed traffic deaths reached 39. Ten died in Indiana; six in Iowa; five in Texas; four in Illinois; three in Oregon; two each in Michigan and Wisconsin; and one each in Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania. Wind-whipped snow cut visibility to 1-16 of a mile in eastern Montna late Sunday night. The storm dipped as far south as Colorado and pushed toward Kansas and Nebraska. Winds up to 40 miles an hour buffeted Wyoming. In two hours the temperature dropped 31 degrees at Great Falls, Mont. Hazardous driving warnings were posted from Pennsylvania and New Jersey through New England, with sleet and freezing drizzle falling atop four inches of snow in some areas. There was freezing rain as far west as Kansas and Nebraska. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG resuits.

Indianapolis Men Buy Taylor Campus INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Plans are expected to be completed within a year for converting to another use the 22 buildings Taylor University will leave behind at Upland when it moves to Fort Wayne. Two Indianapolis businessmen who will purchase the 160-acre campus also said Sunday at least 20 organizations have expressed interest in leasing the buildings. The school has been located at Upland since 1893. William Keller Jr. and Robert Goldstein saia possibilities for the buildings include a technical school, community junior college, theological seminary, industrial research center, agricultural college and governmental training facility. The school is being moved to Fort Wayne in anticipation of heavier enrollments, according to its president, Dr. B. Joseph Martin. He said the expanded laboratory facilities at Fort Wayne were decisive factors in the decision to: move.

INDIAN (Continued from page one) ments: —The Portuguese fridate Alfonso De Albuquerque had been abandond by its crew. — The Pangim airstrip was heavily damaged by Indian air attacks. —The Indian army has reached Mapuca in north Goa, about 10 miles from Pangim. —ln central Goa, leading elements of the Indian army had reached the outskirts of Ponda, 10 miles from Margao in an advance deep into Goa from its eastern border. ' The spokesman claimed Indian forces captured the towns of Sanquelin, Bicholim, Assonaro and Mapuca in north Goa and Molim and Cullem in east Goa. He said that in Damao the Indian army had reached the outskirts of the main town. Portuguese Give Resistance The spokesman said he had no information about developments in south Goa. He said there was “some resistance" by the Portuguese, but said he had no tails of casualties. The spokesman added that the chiefs of the Indian army, navy and air force have ordered their men to give full protection to the Goans and not to damage any places of worship Goa is more than 50 per cent Roman Catholic, due largely to the early missionary labors of St. Francis Xavier, whose tomb lies in the Church of Bom Jesus in the city of Old Goa. Another religious shrine of major historical importance is the Church of St. Francis of Assisi in the same area. (Moscow radio announced that the Indian troops had crossed the frontier into Goa, Damao and Diu “to liberate their population from Portuguese colonial domination,” sand said the Indians were advancing rapidly.) A government spokesman said that Indian troops were being warming welcomed everywhere by the local Goan population. Nationalist sources said Goan commandoes and underground elements were joining forces with the Indians. The governor spokesman said the Portuguese were resorting to a scorched earth policy to slow the Indian advance, which he said was pressing ahead on all fronts. In New Delhi, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said he was saddened at the military action but “old colonialism cannot conI tinue. We undertook this action when we felt no alternative was left open to us . . . The Portuguese ultimately left no choice open to us.” The invasion was aimed at

wiping out the last of Portuguese rule over the tiny outposts on the Indian subcontinent which has been In effect since 1510. Goa is a 1,538-square mile enclave on India’s lower west coast about 200 miles south of Bombay, Damao is on the mainland about 150 miles north of Bombay and Diu is an island just across the Gulf of Cambay from Damao. Shortly before midnight, Radio Goa announced that Indian troops had moved into two border chekcpoints. It then went off the air without broadcasting news or the invasion. In New Delhi, Defense Minister V. K. Krishna 'Menon said the invasion troops were meeting little resistance. Report Heavy Firing Private reports received in New Delhi said Indian troops already had entered Panjim, the capital Portuguese soldiers were exchanging heavy mortar barrages. A Portuguese statement said India had launched “d mass invasion of Goa with overwhelming numerical superiority.” The text of the statement was released in Washington. It said Indian planes had bombed the civilian airport in Goa’s port of Mormugao, “setting afire vast sections of the city and causing numerous civilian casualties. One plane on the ground was destroyed, the statement said.— —
