Final Rites Today For Mrs. Roosevelt

HYDE PARK, N.Y. (UPI) - Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt will be buried today beside her husband at the aneestrial Roosevelt estate with simple religious rites and without a eulogy, according to her own request.

Truman and Mrs. Truman, and Vice President Lyndon Johnson will head the list of 200 invited mourners attending the private 2 p.m. EST funeral service at ivy-cov-ered St. James Episcopal Church near Hyde Pai'k village. The interment will be in the rose garden of the Roosevelt national historic site two miles south of the church at 2:30 p.m. EST. Storm Casts Gloom A severe east coast storm rolled over New York state today, setting a gloomy contrast with the bright spring day on which President Franklin D. Roosevelt was buried with military panoply on April 15, 1945. The 78-year-old former First Lady died Wednesday at her New York home. During, the final months of her two-and-a-half year battle against fatal anemia and then tuberculosis, she gave her family several directives for her last rites. There would be no flowers in the 115-year-old English Gothic church, no eulogy, no honorary pallbearers and only a few Episcopal hymns selected by her " five children. The Kennedys flew to the funeral from Washington and will return immediately after the burial. They will lunch with the Roosevelt family at Mrs. Roosevelt’s Val-Kill farm cottage. In addition to the deceased's children and grandchildren, the mourners will include her close friend and political protege, Adlai E. Stevenson, heading a delegation from the U.S. mission to the United Nations where Mrs. Roosevelt had served as a delegate. She was given a moving tribute at the U.N. General Assembly Friday.

Storm Batters At East Coast

By United Press International Heavy rains and high winds battered the east coast early today and gale warnings were posted from Cape Hatteras to Maine. Norfolk, Va., was buffeted with winds as high as 66 miles an hour and small craft warnings were posted as far south as Savannah, Ga. Three to five inches of rain had fallen along the North Carolina coast up to midnight. Raleigh reported 3.5 inches, Wilmington 2.27 inches and Ashville 1.54 inches. Farther south, Miami, Fla,, was soaked by a 3.57 inch downpour. At least eight traffic deaths in North Carolina were attributed to the torrential downpours, which made highways slippery and visibility poor. A houseboat was blown across U.S. 70 at Morehead City, N.C., blocking traffic. Gusts in the area hit -75 miles an hour. Heavy rains lashed New York state, where Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt was to be buried at Hyde Park today. The rain was expected to taper off this afternoon. The rains were expected to reach as far west as Great Lakes during the day. Local flash flooding was feared in the East and tides along the coast were expected to be as much as four feet above normal. Rain also fell along the west coast during the night and early today but amounts were considerably less than in the East. Scattered showers were on tap for the Rocky Mountains to the west coast today.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ADAMS COUNTY

Stevenson will make a meI morial address for Mrs. Roose- , velt next Saturday at special i services at New York’s Cathedral , of St. John the Divine, where 11,000 persons are expected to pay her tribute. House Speaker Attends The House of Representatives will be represented at the funeral ’ today by Speaker John W. McCormack and Reps. Emanuel Celler, Eugene Keogh, and Mrs. Roosevelt’s cousin, Rep. Katharine St. George of New York. The U.N. will be represented by Acting Secretary - General Thant and General Assembly President Sir Muhammed Zafrullah Khan. Following the coffin as it is botne into the garden will be Mrs. Roosevelt’s sons, James, Elliott, Franklin D. Jr., and John and the husband of her daughter Anna, Dr. James Halsted. The Rev. Dr. Kidd, in black cassock, white surplice, and black stole and wearing a black biretta on his head, will conduct the 10minute graveside rites, containing * the familiar commital words: “Unto almighty God we commend the soul of our sister departed, and we commit her body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” ; Mrs. Roosevelt’s burial in the | soil of Dutchess County, much of which was the manor lands of her maternal ancestors, the livingstons, nearly three centuries ago, was a true coming home. It was at Hyde Park she came as a bride, where she romped in the nursery with her children, received politicians and royalty while First Lady of the land, saw her husband laid to rest, and maintained a retreat during her widowhood. It is to Hyde Park that millions of Americans will undoubtedly come in the future, not only to see the grave of Roosevelt, but also to pay respects to his wife, who earned the title: “First Lady of the World.”

Temperatures were on the chilly side this morning, with readings above the 50s limited to the extreme East, South and Southwest. Waterloo, lowa, had a reading of 24. Highest temperature Friday was 91 at Yuma, Ariz. Anti-Communisf Rioting In Bombay NEW DELHI (UPD — New anti-Communist rioting broke out in Bombay Friday night amid reports of Chinese Communist tank movements threatening an Indian air base near the disputed border. Indians attending a textile workers’ rally rioted against the chairman of the Indian Communist Party, S.A. Dange, in an outburst rooted in resentment against the Chinese border attacks. Twenty-six persons were hit by stones thrown by the angry Indian nationalists. Eight were hospitalized and 15 arrested. Police repeatedly charged the rioters with batons swinging, steel helmets protecting them from rocks. The rioters demolished the rostrum and set fire to Communist red flags. A military spokesman Friday disclosed the Chinese tank movements, which he said were aimed at an attack on Chusul Air Base in Ladakh.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Navy today continued the unique surveillance on the high seas that has convinced government officials that Russia indeed is removing ballistic missiles from Cuba. A Defense Department spokesman said no definite word had been received here but it was “assumed" that the U.S. Destroyer Barry had inspected the cargo of the Soviet freighter Anosov at dawn today. The spokesman said the Barry had pulled alongside the Anosov Friday night but waited for daylight to complete its inspection. Assistant Defense Secretary Arthur Sylvester said earlier that more Soviet vessels would be inspected soon. The Barry reported by radio after intercepting the Asonov late Friday "we have arranged an inspection without boarding.’’ This apparently was the case with the five other Russia-bound vessels checked by the Navy thus far. The naval ships reported that three of the freighters apparently had missiles on their decks and that there were indications some Soviet technicians also were aboard. Under the U.S. agreement with Russia, the Soviet vessels removed tarpaulins to reveal metalencased objects on their decks. The Navy checked them visually and took pictures. Sylvester told newsmen: “The responsible people of this government are satisfied what is being I reported are the missiles, but the 1 final determination will await analysis of thep holographs.” It was learned that Vasily V. Kuznetsov, the special Soviet negotiator on Cuba in New York, had told the American government Russia will have removed 42 rockets and related equipment from Fidel Castro’s stronghold by Monday. But despite the inspection at sea and Kuznetsov’s assurances, the State Department declared once again that the United States still will insist on an international check inside Cuba to make certain . all offensive weapons have been removed — including Soviet IL2B bombers. Two Ordinances Are Passed By Council The city council held a brief meeting following the receiving of bids for street lights Friday afternoon for the purpose of giving final passage to two ordinances. The ordinances had been passed on two readings at a previous meeting, but all five councilmen were not present, and all must be preto pass an ordinance on its third and final reading. One of the ordinances passed i Friday called for additional appropriations and transfers for appropriations, which were as follows: from the general fund to police department salaries and wages regular, $1,039.50 for additional patrolman; to police department current charges, $125 clothing allowance for patrolman; police department, transfer from properties — building improvement fund to other supplies, S4OO for photo supplies. Also included in the ordinance was a transfer from services contractual - repairs to properties - equipment, SI,OOO for a charge in radio equipment in trucks pursuant to F.C.C. requirements. The second ordinance adopted a contract between the city and the Decatur Equipment Co., for the purchase of a new pick-up truck for the water department. The net price on the new truck was $1,621.25, which included an allowance for a 1957 model pick-up truck which was traded in on the new vehicle. Tourist Industry Increases In Spain .

Andrews explained this morning that he and other members of the faculty were appreciative of the way the parents of the students took advantage of the open house, and for the fine attendance. i Case Venued Here From Allen County Another case has been venued to the Adams circuit court from Allen county, the latest from superior court No. 13 which involves a complaint on a note.

Senate Race In South Dakota Near Dead Heat PIERRE, S.D. (UPI)—Two Senate committee lawyers were in South Dakota today to “insure that nobody loses or wins anything by cheating” in a canvass or recount of votes from Tuesday’s near dead-heat race for the U.S, Senate. Democrat George McGovern, President Kennedy’s one - time food for peace administrator, led Sen. Joseph H. Bottum, a Republican, by 186 votes in final unofficial returns compiled by United Press International. The first handful of counties to complete their official canvassing Friday turned up several clerical errors—mostly in McGovern’s favor. James H. Duffy, chief counsel of the Senate special subcommittee on privileges and elections, flew to Rapid City late Friday with Burkett Vankirk, minority counsel, to “make observations only and to receive any complaints that may be filed, and take them back to Washington.” Republican leaders have asked for a recount and both sides have charged voting irregularities in several counties. Bottum said “more than 1,000 missile workers voted illegally” Tuesday and GOP leaders speculated most of them voted for McGovern. Bottum said the workers, who have been building rocket bases for the Strategic Air Command, were allowed to vote without proof of residence. Democrats said there were a number of unsealed ballot boxes in assorted counties. The irecount petition wil be filed with Secretary of State Essie Wiedenman by the Dec. 16 deadline, Republicans said. The county canvass boards must have their figures certified to Mrs. Wiedenman by Nov. 21 and she and Gov. Archie Gubbrud, both Republicans, who sit as the state canvassing body in this case, have until Dec. 6 to certify the state totals. The tightness of the race led to a daily recheck of county auditors* offices since election day, resulting in dozens of minor changes due to mathematical errors on the part of the auditors’ I staffs.

Latin America Urges Castro Accept Plan UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) — South American countries urged Fidel Castro’s government today to accept a plan for verified denuclearization of Latin America as a face-saving device for him to permit international inspection -of Soviet missile sites. Paul Ruegger and Melchor Borsinger, representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) planned to return to Geneva today, having completed details of Red Cross inspection of inbound Cuban cargoes as a check against hidden Soviet arms. The Red Cross inspection was expected to start Monday, after final approval of plans by the United States, Russia and Cuba. I U.S. naval contact inspection of I outbound Soviet freighters takj ing the missiles back to Russia apparently was proceeding withj out incident. But Russia had set a Monday deadline on such inspection, declaring that all Its missiles would be out of Cuba by then and there would be no need for further checking. Despite these inspection plans, the United States maintained its insistence on on-site inspecton of the dismantled missile bases in the face of Castro's vow that no observers would be permtted to enter Cuba. Cuban Ambassador Carlos Lechuba told UPI that despite a week of intensive diplomatic activity here, “nothing of importance probably will happen before next Monday.” He did not elaborate. Envoys of Chile and Brazil, ,two of the five Latin American countries still maintaining diplomatic relations with Castro’s regime, sought to persuade Lechuga and his government to accept a resoolution pending before the General Assembly’s main political committee to make all of Latin America a nuclear-free zone. ! City Receives Bids For Street Lights The Decatur board of public works and safety received bids from four separate companies Friday afternoon, for installation of 85 lights on Monroe street and Mercer Ave. The bids are for the installation of the new lights, which is the second phase of thg_city council’s plan to re-light Decatur.

Bank To Sponsor Victory Dinners

The First State Bank of Decatur, and the First Bank of Berne will again sponsor victory dinners in > their respective halves of the county for the victorious CROP workers following the Thanksgiving week campaign, Charles Backhaus and Ralph Miller, co-chairmen, announced today. For several years the banks have sponsored dinner bringing several hundred Christian workers of all faiths together to celebrate Adams county's part in feeding, clothing and helping the refugees of the world to help themselves. Kickoff Thursday This year’s campaign will start next week with a kickoff rally for all CROP workers and all interested people at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Adams Central school. Wayne Rothgeb, TV farm director from station WKJG-TV, will be the kickoff speaker, and show slides of his trip to the Orient this summer, where he saw refugee work in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Macao, and Japan. Wednesday night of this week Rothbeg attended the CROP kickoff in Wells county, where Dr. Elbert E. (Pearly) Gates, Jr., director of Church World Service in Hong Kong, told of the work there. Million Refugees More than 1% million refugees from Communist China have swelled the population of the British crown colony, and treated an almost impossible problem there. If it weren’t for CROP, and the fine work done in this country and others like it, Dr. Gates pointed out. the situation would be impossible. Dr Gates, who was accompanied to the banquet by Mrs. Gates, was introduced by Rev. Gerald Wilson, Indiana chairman for CROP. “Historians of the future may designate the present are as “the era of the refugee,” Dr. Gates broached the subject of feeding the 1.3 million “illegal” refugees > now making up more than onethird of Hong Kong’S 3.2 million population. Five Work Area Five major areas of work performed by the Church World Service in Hong Kong were outlined by the speaker, who described the

House Rules Group To Feel Vote Impact

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The powerful House Rules Committee probably will be the first in Congress to feel the impact of the Tuesday elections. The Rules Committee is the traffic patrolman for the House, assigned the task of guiding legislation to the floor -for debate in an orderly manner. Liberals have complained that the committee, for years, has; been under conservative domina-1 tion through a coalition of Rfe-' publicans and southern Democrats with the result that liberal legislation frequently gets a permanent red light. Committee Expanded The opening of the 87th Congress, almost two years ago, witnessed a bruising battle over the committee’s powers. Liberals were determined to blunt the coalition’s power. A compromise finally was worked out whereby the committee membership would be expanded from 12 to 15 to give it a more liberal complexion and make it more responsive to the leadership. The conservatives vigorously opposed the enlargement, charging it as a packing procedure. The late speaker Sam Rayburn supported the change, and when prolonged negotiations failed, he forced a vote on the floor,. —Thepro-Kennedyforces won in a real cliff-hanger by a margin of five votes. But the change was for only one session. Before the election, conservatives were organizing to reject any move to continue the committee enlargement in the 88th Congress which meets in January. Members were being quietly contacted to pledge their votes in opposition to any committee expansion. Liberals Dissatisfied On the other side, liberals were far from satisfied to rest wth the expansion. They felt it was good for their side so far as it went . . . but that it didn’t go far enough in clipping the Rules Committee’s wings.

SEVEN CENTS

I Asian city as ** a place of mira- | cles” and “a heaven for refugees.” , Foremost among the programs is the supplying of material aids, food, clothing and medicine and their distribution, according to Dr. Gates, who stated that the United States government and CROP furnish all of the food made availalbe toCWS. Ration cards are provided 107.000 persons who make up families receiving less than $25 per month income. Milk stations also are set Second among the projects are set up to provide 53,000 children with milk and special formula biscuits, the service units, which include mobile dental clinics, tuberculosis clinics, student aid programs of part time employment, homes for homeless girls and nursery school. Hospital Built A third area is the particination in government contracts whereby the CWS builds such facilities as a 300-bed hosnital. 10-story student union building, 900 stone cottages, a noodle factory and homes, all financed by the U.S. government. Work projects are a fourth program in Hong Kong, providing employment for persons in the making of neck ties, smocks and in knitting. The fifth area involves the use of subsidies for rehabilition projects, child care clinics and other according to Dr. Gates. In his concluding remarks, Dr. Gates attributed the cause of the world’s ills to the decline of integrity. “Along with the disappearance of integrity has been the decline in love. We need those two things.” Under the CROP campaign farmers will be solicited in each township for an amount of grain, which will be sold for cash and the » money provided for the purchase of specific items needed in aiding the world’s needy. INDIANA WEATHER a Fair and cooler tonight. Sunday mostly cloudy and a little warmer, northerly winds 1525 miles per hour. Low tonight 27 to 33 north. 35 to 42 south. z High Sunday 47 to 52. Outlook , for Monday. Partly cloudy to cloudy with showers north.

The conservative-liberal clash is shaping up as another historic battle at the opening of the next Congress. One high Democrat believes the squabble may be resolved by private negotiation before the new Congress meets without a fight, as a direct result of the election. It would entail something like I this: Key conservatives, reading | the election returns, would agree not to resist continuation of the expanded Rules Committee if the House leadership agreed not to press for the new liberal reforms. If a quiet compromise is not reached, the issue probably will go to the floor to become the first testing ground for the election results. Mild Temperatures •ft, Seen Over Weekend By United Press International Relatively mild temperatures will continue in Indiana over the weekend, the weatherman said today, but showers are expected north for Monday’s Veterans’ Day observance. ’ ~ Little temperature change was expected, with day-time highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s and overnight lows mostly in the few 30s.
