Marketing Os Grain Stalled By Shortages CHICAGO (UPI) — An acute freight car shortage continued to- ! day to stall marketing of the Midwest’s bumper grain harvest, and there was little hope of relief for at least a fortnight. Local grain elevators swelled to the overflow point in many parts of the Midwest and farmers feared that wet corn would spoil before it could be moved. Authorities in Nebraska and Illinois appealed to the Associaton of American Railroads for relief. The AAR predicted the situation would ease by mid-November, but Arthur E. Leitherer, general chairman of the Midwest Shippers Advisory Board, said he thought the shortage would continue for at least 30 days. Leitherer said that about 12 per cent of the nation’s railroad rolling stock is in need of repair “while it shouldn’t be more than I 4 per cent.” He said that eastern i roads, which might normally supi ply the cars to ease the shortI age, had an evern higher repair I rate. The boxcar shortage was compounded by delay of the soybean harvest to concur with the corn harvest; increased industrial production; and movements of gov-ernment-owned grain, rail officials said. However, despite congressional rumblings, the interstate Commerce Commission insisted at Washington that the situation '“is not serious yet.”

IOOF Building Sale Is Announced Today Sale of the IOOF building at the southwest corner of Second and Monroe streets to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Holthouse was announced today by officials of the grand lodge of the Odd Fellows.

Mr. and Mrs. Holthouse, who also own the adjacent building occupied by the Holthouse Drug Co., said their present plans call for demolition of the IOOF building and use of the property for a parking lot.

Leonard Hubbartt, evangelist, has been bringing timely and challenging messages.

Before taking up duties with the United Society in May, 1958, White was pastor of the First Christian church, Lebanon, Oregon, and president of the newly formed board of directors of the Oregon Christian Missionary Society. A former chairman of the state board of Oregon, he took leadership as that board and the churches of the state moved into unified promotion, central receiving agency for cooperative causes of the Christian churches.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Paul H. Douglas, D-111., leading opponent of Indiana’s plans for a deepwater port on Lake Michigan, said Wednesday the port at Burns Ditch “is a very long way from being approved.” Douglas made the statement in answer to claims by Indiana officials that recent correspondence with the White House amounted to a “virtual promise” of federal support for the project. Clinton Green, secretary-treas-urer of the Indiana Port Commission, said Tuesday that Lee C. White, assistant special counsel to President Kennedy, had told Gov. Matthew E. Welsh in a letter that the Budget Bureau probably would issue a favorable report on the economic feasibility of the port. “Big Business and big Republican allies are counting their checkens before they are hatched,” Douglas said. He said the White House correspondence was far from final. “Clinton Green and the Port Commission have had a major setback,” Douglas said in a statement Issued by his office here. “After months of boasting it is now found that the facts don’t support the project. There’s a very long way to go before this harbor is ever approved.” Douglas contends the port should be located elsewhere on the Indiana shoreline in order to protect existing sand dunes which he wants turned into a national park. Indiana officials have accused Douglas of being more interested in preserving the business of the port of Chicago than he is la preserving the dunes. Trade in a good town — Decatux

DEMOCRA'

GOP Seeks To Keep Issue Os Cuba Topmost WASHINGTON (UPD— Republicans today continued to keep the Cuban issue alive during the closing days of the current election campaign. Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., produced the hardest statement. ‘‘l think there is only one issue and it is Cuba,” Goldwater said in Little Rock, Ark. But the leader of GOP conservatives declined to predict what effect the Cuban situation will have on the election. "It’s the biggest guessing game going,” he said. “In a tight race the incumbent might be favored. But it will be unfavorable for those who have been calling us ‘warmongers, amateur generals’ and the like.” Democrat Rep. Frank Thompson of New Jersey took an opposite view. "We are now hearing great choruses of T told you so’ from those militarists who had advocated a blockade or even invasion of Cuba months ago,’’ Thompson said in a newsletter. "The events of recent days have shown how foolish that counsel was.” Thompson said recent events showed that "We must be prepared to withhold action until the time for action is precisely right.” Republicans also questioned whether the crisis has actually passed. Sen. Alexander Wiley, R-Wis., said Wednesday the situation “remains alive, explosive and dangerous.” Wiley said his view was strengthened during a talk with former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. And a House Republican policy group asked Kennedy if his agreement with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev would give Russia a permanet military base in Cuba. The group, headed by Rep. John J. Rhodes, R-Ariz., wrote Kennedy that it was concerned over U.S. assurances that this country will not invade Cuba. “Are we not guaranteeing the Soviet Union a privileged sanctuary for the extension of Communist subversion and sabotage to Latin America.” Rep. Sidney Yates, who is trying to unseat Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois, charged Wednesday that Dirksen was seeking “in an outrageous manner” to use the Cuban crisis for political advantage. He said that Dirksen had posed as one who cooperated with Kennedy on international matters but in actuality had been critical of the President and had “betrayed our traditional bipartisan foreign policy.” Dirksen generally kept away from the Cuban situation Wednesday in a Chicago speech.

Issues Affidavits On Parking Tickets City attorney Robert S. Anderson has sent affidavits to city court Judge John B. Stults, concerning parking meter tickets which have not been paid. It has been the policy of the city police, city attorney and city court judge in recent years, to bring persons to court who fail to pay for their parking meter violations. Affidavits have been issued for the following: Louise Huffine, box 42. Willshire. O.; James Webb, route 4, Decatur; W. L. Lamar, route 3, Decatur; Alice M. Enider, Willshire, Norma Helm, 1027 Marshall St.; Ed Reed, 716 Indiana St., and two for Lewis E. Beery, route 4, Decatur. Will Notify Judge Stults will issue the proper notices to these persons, and the above-named persons will have the chance to contact the judge and pay the fines for the violations. In the past, persons who have been brought before the city judge for failure to pay the violations, have been fined $1 and costs, a total of SB, for each unpaid parking ticket. If the tickets are not paid, then the persons will be taken into regular" court proceedings, and receive fines of $lO and Bosts, totaling sl7. No Excuse The city officials feel that there is no excuse for failing to pay the meterviolations, and bring the persons before the city court judge only as a last resort. Upon receiving a parking ticket, a driver may deposit 25 cents in the envelope and drop it into the courtesy box. If this is not done, or the ticket is lost, the violators are still contacted again by a letter from the city police, notifying them of the unpaid ticket, which then may be paid at a cost of sl. If the violator still does not pay the fine, Anderson contacts them by a second letter, informing them of the unpaid ticket. If the ticket still remains unpaid then the last resort is taken, such as what is being done with the seven persons listed above. No Exceptions It is felt that since most persons pay their parking meter violations without any question, that a minor few persons should not be allowed to allow the violations to go unpaid. The violators will have a lengthy period of time in which to contact Judge Stults and pay the fine of sl' and costs, before they will be taken into court.

It also was the first official disclosure that his trip was related to the Soviet agreement to dismantle the missiles and ship them back to Russia. Castro has not retracted his statement rejecting U.N. observers in Cuba despite a two-day Havana visit by Thant. A government propagandist indicated Wednesday night that Castro is sticking to the five demands he made Sunday—including United States withdrawl from the Guantanamo naval base —as a minimum basis for starting talks on easing the Cuban crisis.
