Democrat Platform Is Uniquely Brief

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndiana Democrats received a uniquely brief 1962 platform at their state convention today which included a recommendation that the 1963 Legislature enact legislative reapportionment on a population basis. The 1.200-word platform followed the predicted form on the top issue erf reapportionment. The Democratic version is in contrast with that approved by the Republicans three days ago which called for adoption of the so-called federal plan. The federal plan calls for a population basis for realignment in the House and a geographical basis in the Senate. "We recommend the enactment of a law for the immediate reapportionment of the legislature by the next General Assembly in accordance with the mandate of our Constitution," the platform said. "We favor the use of the federal decennial census as the basis of the enumeration for the reapportionment .. . and urge the enactment of a statute to attain that end." The platform did not specifically mention "right to work,” a 1957 controversial law which has been fought by Democrats and supported by Republicans through all the campaigns since its enactment, % Urges Law Repeal But it reaffirmed the party’s position that “all working men and women have the right to join unions of their own choosing, and we affirm our position that free, unrestricted collective bargaining, including the right to bargain for maximum union security provisions allowable under federal law, is the American democratic way of settlement of disputes and urge repeal of any law that prohibits this objective.” On other issues, the platform' said: —"We pledge continued support,! to Indiana's institutions of higher learning." —"We are opposed to the use of prison labor in open competition with free' industry and free wage earners." —"The needs of our mentally ill j and retarded should be met to the degree commensurate with the ability of modern medicine and: science to provide the car. We| pledge a maximum effort to secure funds and personnel to meet those resnonsibilities.”' —"We favor the enactment of legislation to simplify the procedure for registration of voters to eliminate the possible loss of

This requires the courage ! to resist spending money we cannot afford. This demands a will--tngness to tell the truth to the people and let them judge the extent to which they are willing to - pay the bills for that which should : be done.” Expand Road Pro kt am —"We shall maintain and advance the physical facilities which ' the state provides ... its citizens, i This includes extending and imi proving our highways, remodeling ' and adding to our hospital facil- | ities and renovating and modernizing our penal institutions.” —"We advocate that the state assume a larger share of local school costs in order to relieve the local property tax . .that the minimum salary schedule for teachers be improved to a level commensurate with salaries in other professions." —"We favor the broadening of the powers of our cities and towns to strengthen local self-govern-ment." —"We pledge to continue fighting for the civil rights of all people, until such rights are assured in the fields of employment, education, and public conveniences. We advocate adding to the civi rights acts of the state sufficient penalties and adequate funds to insure their enforcement.” —"We reaffirm qur support of rural electric and telephone membership corporation si, which have done an outstanding, job of bringing service to rural? areas.” Fallout Radiation Slightly Increased Fallout radiation was up slightly in Adams county this week, tq .05 milliroentgen, still well within the safe limits. Milton Spence, US SCS work unit conservationist, said today. Every two weeks Spence measures readioactivity in the county area, and sends his report® into his district office In the eventl of a nuclear attack, hfe would be| responsible for safegarding the’ area's health as far as measurings radioactivity of farm shipments! in and out of the county. |

American Newsprint Usage At New High NEW YORK (UPI) — American newsprint consumption set a new record for the first five months of 1962,.,.the.

FARM MEASURE (Continued from Page One) can to support Kennedy was Rep. Phil Weaver, Neb. The White House statement issued after the defeat said the GOP would have to shoulder the blame for “the continuing chaos” in farm surpluses. i But the American Farm Bu-.l rcau, loading opponent of Kennedy's bill, hailed -the vote as a “victory for farmers, consumers and taxpayers.” It said “the only losers were the political empire builders in Washington.” The sweeping production controls on grain were Kennedy’s I answer to mounting farm sur-1 pluses in which the government now has $7 billion invested. Had Won Approval The new controls had won Senate approval four weeks ago. The legislation would have added corn, barley and sorghums to the list of crops on which growers by secret ballot must accept planting curbs or suffer reductions in support prices. This would have broadened the scope of farm controls so that they would cover crops which accounted for slightly more than one half of last year’s total harvested acreage.* Democratic leaders, confident that they had finally lined up enough votes for passage by a narrow margin, held the House in session Thursday night to finish action on more than 50 amendments. The two dozen amendments that were adopted included an array of control-softening ‘‘sweeteners” deliberately tailored to placate and win the support of Democratic holdouts. But on the showdown vote the House rendered null and void the months of administration work and lobbying efforts by adopting a Republican motion that sent the ! bill back to the House Agriculture Committee.

Former Resident Os Monroe Dies Thursday Chelcil Strait, 62. of Middletown, 0., died of a heart attack Thursday morning in the Middleton hospital. He lived at Monroe for several years and graduated from the Monroe high school. Surviving are his wife, one son and two grandchildren. He was a relative of the Jesse Essex and Perry Andrews families at Monroe. Funeral services for Mr. Strait, a World War I veteran, will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at MiddleT NEW METHODS (Continued from Page One) the channel does the same thing, while a continuous air and naval barage hits at the beach. Traeps From Above As the first wave of landing ships hit the shore, helicopters are coming in from the next wave of ships down the channel, the LPH, or small mobile carrier-type ships designed for helicopters. These land in farther as the beach landing troops are establishing their beachhead. Tanks, artillery and supplies move in on subsequent waves, and the beachhead is secured. This is no idle training These very attack units are in all parts of the world right now, ready in case they are needed in a brush fire. It is this sort of coordinated attack that helps secure the slightly shaky peace of the world, and keeps the little wars from becoming big ones. It was no • accident that such troops were in the far east to move into Laos and be ready at Formosa. Neither was it an accident that they were able to move into Lebanon when that government requested help, or be offshore of the Dominican Republic when it appeared as if trouble would start there after the assassination of

Trujillo. - J Something Different With aD of the talk of ICBM’s and nuclear bombs and space flights, this <s a phase of preparedness that is often ignored.

many, levels — we intend to have at all times the capacity to resist non-nuclear or limited attacks as a complement to our nuclear capacity — not as a substitute.” And. this is a force the Russians do not have. They have the men, and they have the ships. But they do not have the finely coordinated attack system, nor do they yet have the vast amounts of expensive equipment necessary to carry out one of these attacks. It is encouraging that they do not — and that we do-
