Democrats To Aid Congress Nominees INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Indiana s Democratic congressional nominees will be eligible to receive financial help for living expenses from the party's state organization so they may campaign vigorously without worrying about their jobs. The Democratic State Committee voted Tuesday to set aside up to $55,000, at the rate of $5,000 for each of the 11 nominees, for active and direct support of the candidates. It was the first time such a fund had been available for congressional candidates* living expenses, although candidates often have received contributions for campaign costs. At least seven of the 11 nominees will be persons not now in Congress who might find it difficult to campaign between working hours at the regular jobs where they make a living, spokesmen for the committee said. The financial help would enable them to lay off work at times to devote full time to campaigning for the November election. Spokesmen indicated the four Democratic congressmen seeking renomination would qualify for the allotments, if nominated, for use in other campaign expenses since they receive their pay as congressmen regar dle s s of whether Congress actually is in session. Candidate For State Office Visits Here Joseph A. Farina, LaPorte county auditor, and a candidate for state auditor on the Democratic ticket, subject to the state convention June 22, visited in Decatur and Adams county Tuesday. Farina was returning from a speech at Richmond Monday. In traveling over the state, Farina states that he finds a strong Democratic trend, and he expects the Democratic nominee for senate to oust the Republican incumbent by a larger margin than Sen Hartke had in 1958. He credited the record and popularity of Pres. John F. Kennedy and Gov. Matthew E. Welsh for the exceptionally bright outlook this year.

leaders Out On Strike In NewYorkCaT NEW YORK (UPD—Thousands of 'public school students were sent home today and rioting closed one school shortly after disgruntled teachers in the nation’s largest school system struck for higher salaries. The Board of Education reported that the teaching staffs at a number of the city’s 840 schools , were so reduced by the strike that older sudents whose parents were not working were sent home. All . schools were, open, the board said, but attendance was limited to 40 , pupils for eadj teacher reporting. Most students reported to their classrooms this morning and were encouraged to do so by picketing teachers, who began to march outside schools in the five boroughs at 6:30 a.m. Many classes were being conducted in orderly fashion by teachers who crossed the United Federation of Teachers picket lines or by supervisory employes. I Students Become Rowdy However, 2,300 students who were gathered in the auditorium at Seward High School became rowdy when the bell rang for the commencement of classes. The 15 non-striking teachers in charge were unable to control the students and six policemen were called. The policemen also were unable to handle the shouting, fighting students and they were ordered out of the school building. The fighting continued in the street J until the students dispersed. The school was then closed as a safety measure. The union claimed the strike was 90 per cent effective and said 700 schools were “not working.” Hie exact number of teachers participating in the strike was not known. The union claim 15,000 members among the city’s 40,000 public school teachers. The teachers, who voted to strike 2544 to 2231, face loss of their jobs under the state CondonWadlin bill. They currently earn $4,800 to $8,600 a year and have been offered wage increases toI taling S2B miUion—a S7OO annual ■ increase— by the board. The un- ! ion’s final demand was for wage increase totaling $53 million. i New York Stock Exchange Prices MIDDAY PRICES A TAT., 129%; Central Soya, 31%; DuPont, 242%; Ford, 98; General Electric, 75; General Motors, 56; Gulf Oil, 42%; Standard Oil Ind., 51%; Standard Oil N.

Four Church Heads In Some Agreement

WASHINGTON (UPD - In the high-vaulted library of Washington Cathedral, leaders of four Protestant denominations sat, side i by side, at the end of a huge oak a table. > For the past two days they had r been talking candidly behind . closed doors about the possibility t — some would say the distant dream—of merging the four denomination to form a single great ■ church with 20 million members. » Now they faced a roomful of 5 reporters who wanted to know how 1 it had gone. Did these churchmen ! really think there was a chance 1 of uniting the Episcopal church, • the Methodist church, the United } Church of Christ and the United • Presbyterian church? r The question brought a smile ! from the Rt. Rev. Robert F. Gib--1 son Jr., the Episcopal Bishop of ' -Virginia. 5 “I can tell you this,” he said. 5 “I’m a lot more hopeful about the ' prospects than I was when I 5 walked in here.” 5 The Rev. Dr. Eugene Carson 1 Blake, stated clerk of the United Presbyterian church, who first proposed the merger, nodded in vigorous agreement. J “This initial meeting has carried * us much further than we had e to hope,” he said. s How so? a reporter pressed. 5 . n " ' '' " '"" a ; County Spelling Bee ; At Monmouth Friday 1 Competition in the Adams coun- : ty spelling bee finals will begin 1 at 8 p. m.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1962

New York attorney Charles C. Parlin, a member of the Methodist delegation, replied that the conferees had reached agreements “easily and enthusiastically” about several important questions of procedure. They had decided to invite three more denominations (the Christian churches, Evangelical United Brethren, and Polish National Catholic church) to join the talks. They had fixed a date (March 19, 1963) for their next meeting. And they had taken steps to initiate a large number of joint theological sudies in the meantime, to clarify the specific issues of doctrine and church organization that will have to be settled before a plan of union can be drawn up. Cub Scouts Corner - Den 2 of pack 3064 visited the Decatur Hatchery recently and was shown how baby chicks are hatched. The boys also saw how day-old chicks looked and the incubators worked. They went to Anderson Industries and made bird houses that had been cut and marked for them by Al Anderson. The boys taking part included Dave Schirack, Miks Meyer, Steve Heiman, Louis Braun, Tony Litchfield, Fred Teeple, and Jay Teeter.

Registration should be made by card to the Limberlost Girl Scout council, 227 E. Washington, Room 303, Fort Wayne. SURPRISE (Continued from Page One) competing for markets in this country. May Raise Demand* In Cleveland, Republic Steel Corp. President T. F. Patton said his firm “certainly needs an increase” and would review U.S. Steel’s action right away. He said Republic’s profits were not big enough to pay reasonable dividends to stockholders and replace old equipment. Organized labor seemed certain to denounce the move. The increase also may torpedo Kennedy administration efforts to contain union-negotiated wage increases if labor leaders feel they will be short-changed by price boosts once a contract is signed. The Steelworkers, for example, may raise their demands in forthcoming talks with aluminum producer, metal fabricator and canmakers. They also may be eager to take another crack at getting higher wages at the next steel contract reopening in the summer of 1963. There have been 18 steel price increases since the end of World War II and 10 wage increases reulting from 11 contract negotiations.
