Mediators Hopeful Os Joint Meeting SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPDMediators were hopeful today of arranging a joint meeting of Studebaker-Packard and union officials in continued efforts to settle the 23-day-old strike at the huge auto plant here. Separate talks with representatives of both sides were held Tuesday. “We’re still trying to get them together and get a foothold, but the battle lines are drawn and neither side will yield to the other's point of view,” commented Indiana Labor Commissioner Robert P. Butler. “One of the things that has slowed us up has been the injunction and another the incidents on the picket line which distracted the people from the bargaining and caused some tempers to flare and work the people up,’ he said. Butler referred to the temporary injunction obtained Jan. 20 by the company against Local 5 of the United Auto Workers, restraining its members from interfering with shipments of parts from the plant. Studebaker-Packard filed for the injunction Jan. 9 after a number of strikers attempted to prevent a switch engine from picking up two boxcars. The company dropped its action later but then re-filed for the court order after a second similar incident. Also a contributing factor, Butler said, was the arrest of company President Sherwood H. Egbert Jan. 17 when a striker told police the official had threatened to fight him. Egbert said the striker was one of several trying to prevent him from leaving the plant in his car. About 6,500 UAW members have been idled by the dispute over a new contract. Major issues still to be settled are vacation pay, premium pay, washup time and seven-day work schedules. Young Mother Held For Killing Infant CROWN POINT, Ind. (UPD—A young mother who admitted strangling her 16-day-old son because he was “temperamental” was held today for merital observation. Mrs. . Juanita Murray, 18, was charged with first-degree murder Tuesday and taken to Norman Beatty Memorial Hospital at Westvill, a state mental institution, for observation. Police said Mrs. Murray admitted strangling Billy Ray Murray Tuesday at her home near Cedar Lake. Authorities said they received a call early Tuesday notifying them that a child was dead at the Murray home. Deputy Sheriff Tim Curley and other officers from the Lake county sheriff's office here went to the home and found the child in a bassinet. Curley gave mouth-to-mouth respiration until an inhalator arrived but efforts to revive the child pronounced the infant dead. Columbus Man Named On Civil Rights Board INDIANAPOLIS <UPI) —Governor Welsh today announced the appointment of John Murphy of Columbus to fill a vacancy of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission created bv the resignation last week of Notre Dame Law School Dean Joseph O'Meara.

Symphony Concert Thrills Audience

By Colleen Heller The Indianapolis Symphony orchestra, appearing at the Decatur high school gym Tuesday evening, presented the third in a series of concerts for the season to a very receptive crowd of 700, music enthusiasts. Under the able direction of Izler Solomon, conductor, the orchestra provided what this reviewer would term the “filling" to the cake of the concert season. The excellent performance was dominated by composers of the nineteenth century and the selections played were very well re-, ceived by the thrilled audience. I Rounds of enthusiastic applatisd’ brought several bows from the orchestra following each presentation and continued applause added two encores to the two hour concert. In the opinion of this writer, “I think they could have listened all night." Johannes Brahms’ “Academic Festival Overture, Opus 80.” opened the concert and the orchestra's sensitive interpretation revealed a mood of relaxa- i

Defense Head Testifies Al Closed Hearing WASHINGTON (UPD — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara said today there may be frequent crises in the years ahead which would require some reservist*: to be ready for immediate call-up. But he told the House Armed Services Committee the administration hoped to minimize such hardships through a major reorganization of U.S. reserve forces. McNamara said in prepared testimony that an increase in regular forces could reduce the present 'reliance on reservists for limited war and especially cold war duty. , However, he said the country still needs a relatively small priority reserve force which can go on active duty in short notice. I “By providing these forces with a truly high level of manning, training and equipping,” he said, “we could raise their readiness to a point where they could be committed to combat within a period of weeks after being called up.” “. . .If we could bring at least selected units of the reserve components to a high level of combat readiness,’ M’cNamara said, “we would not need to call them to active d.ity until the situation had reached the point where conflict had started or was clearly imminent.” McNamara explained the reserve plan at a closed-door hearing as the committee, headed by Rep. Carl Vinson, D-Ga., began its annual review of the nation’s military posture. Part of the testimony was made public. McNamara said that “if the reserve components are to serve a limited war or cold war role, they must be available, at least in part, for an immediate call-up in time of crisis—and these crises may occur quite frequently in the years ahead.” He said the latest defense buildup has done much to stabilize the Berlin situation. But he said it highlighted more than ever the need for a “sound, long-term policy” regarding reservists. Kennedy, Family To Visit Father WASHINGTON (UPD — President Kennedy and his family plan to fly to Palm Beach. Fla., late Thursday or earlv Friday to spend the weekend at his father’s home. The President's father, former Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, is recovering from the effects of a Dec. 19 stroke.

tion that prevailed through the entire evening. “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” by Paul Dukas, with its delightful story familiar to everyone, instrumentally pictured the little wizard and his marching j army of brooms. Three dances from ‘‘The Bartered Bride” by Smetana brought the concert to the intermission time. The music of Ernst Toch, Felix Mendelssohn and Rimsky-Kor-sakav represented the second portion of the concert with the orchestra’s usual excellent interpretations. , Two encores entitled “Vienna RLite” and “Russian Sailor’s Dance” concluded one of the most relaxing, enjoyable evenings that anyone would care to spend. Most comments heard after the concert were “wonderful” but I would like to add “beautiful,” and “Thank you” to the Civic Music association for bringing this world famous group to our city. The next concert will be March ■ 22 and will feature Mildred Dill- ! ing. the world famous harpist.

Slate Park Head Quits At Bluffton William G. Scott, superintendent of the Ouabache state park at Bluffton, submitted his resignation by telegram Monday, after he was ordered to begin work immediately on tearing down the pheasant propagation pens. The pens have been torn down. Scott has been fighting a rearaction, delaying tactic in an at-’ tempt to frustrate the state’s | program, announced last fall, cf' increasing habitat improvement i and decreasing pheasant raising, following a study which showed ' that it was uneconomical. Here Tonight Don E. Foltz, director of the state department of conservation, and Woodrow W. Fleming, head of the fish and game division, will speak at 8 o’clock this evening on the subject at Adams Central school. They spoke last night at Bluffton, and were wellreceived there. Scott, 34. was hired to manage Lthe state game farm last March "sis. and' as a poultry specialist raising birds. In September, was recognized in the field of when it was learned that the -state was considering changing the emphasis in its game program, Scott and others from the Adams-Wells county area started' objecting, first on the grounds! that it was necessary to artifcially raise and release pheasants to ( have a good bird program, and i then later on the grounds that | they shouldn’t have to pay an admission fee to the local state park. Complete July 1 The state park area is now being co-supervised by the division of fish and game, and by the division of parks and memorials. This will end July 1, with the complete transfer.

Forced Feeding On Television Scored WASHINGTON (UPD — The president of the Columbia Broadcasting Systems news division said today that TV watchers should not be given informational programs by ‘ forced feeding.” Richard S. Salant told the Federal Communications Commission that “the programs themselves must come first and must earn their way into greater portions of the broadcast schedule.” Salant wound up formal testimony for CBS in the second day of FCC hearings into TV programming. The FCC was expected to begin questioning CBS executives, particularly about who decides what programs should contain. “Only those critics who stopped looking at television years ago still believe that television jouri nalism avoids the great and the raw-nerved issues of the day,” Salant said. He estimated that informational > broadcasts would amount to 17 1 per cent of the total CBS network 1 program schedule this year. He ! said he expected 690 hours of such 1 broadcasts, a 40 per cent increase 1 over 1961. CBS makes the sole judgment of “what to Include and what to exclude’ in its informational programs, he said. “Advertisers must take us or leave us.” Salant said. “They have no other choice.” He also said CBS news retained "exclusive production and supervision control of all news broadcasts and all public affairs broadcasts which deal with issues of current significance.” Giant Crane Fells Hotel, 10 Killed j PINEDA DEL MAR, Spain 1 (UPD —Rescue crews today pulled the 10th body from th? rubble of what was to have been Spain’s biggest hotel.
