Richmond To Tear Down "Berlin Wall"

RICHMOND, Ind. (UPI) — The “Berlin wall” on Main Street in Richmond will be knocked down today by a National Guard M-41 tank, but Governor Welsh will not attend the ceremonies as was previously reported. Apparently there was a misunderstanding between the governor's office and the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Richmond over Welsh’s attending. The wall was erected Tuesday by members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce as a dramatic reminder to Americans of their liberty. It was at first reported that Welsh would attend the razing of the wall, but the visit was not placed on the governor’s schedule and apparently no one, spoke to Welsh’s executive secretary, Jack New, about it. The report was said to be “incorrect” but “unintentional.” A spokesman for Welsh said the governor was “interested in the project and certainly would have liked to have been there. If it were possible to be there, the governor certainly would have been.” The destruction of the wall will take place at 4 p.m. The wall was built of concrete blocks piled one atop the other but mortar was not used. The six-foot structure stands across U.S. 40, Richmond’s main traffic artery. Only one lane of traffic can move in either direction. To heighten the effect, barbed 24 HOURS SERVICE On Developing and Printing Films Bring them in before 4 p.m., pick them up next day at 4 p.m. KOHNE DRUGSTORE

wire has been placed atop it and members of the Indiana National Guard in full battle dress have patrolled the immediate vicinity around the cloc£ since Tuesday. Wednesday, workmen for the Richmond Power and Lighting Co. began erecting a Christmas I display on utility poles along the I highway. The display dramatically pointed out the difference between Richmond and the Sovietcontrolled zone of East Berlin. Earlier in the day, 30 fifth grade school children from nearby I Centerville visited the wall. They were also taken to see photographs of the real Berlin wall, which were on display in a store window a few feet away. Mrs. Phillip Miles, a parent ho accompanied the children, "said “they were deeply impressed that parents and other loved ones were separated by the wall and couldn’t visit each other.” The Association of German Towns and Cities sent 600 copies of a magazine explaining the ; story of the Berlin wall to Citizens j in Richmond. The text was in English, German and French. Early Wednesday morning, a west bdund truck brushed against the structure and knocked some of the blocks to the ground. The exhibit was not seriously damaged, however. Signs printed in English and German warn the motorist that he is approaching the wall. “Achtung!” the signs read. “Attention! You are leaving the Western (or the eastern) sector.” , Charges Are Filed Following Accident Harry Wayne Dubach, 18, route 1, Berne was arrested and charged with failure to yield the right of way, following a two-vehicle accident Wednesday at 2:15 p.m. Dubach was traveling south on county road 37, three miles west of Berne, and slowed for a stop sign, before pulling out onto state road 118, directly into the path of an eastbound auto operated by Robert Olen Ransbottom, 19, route 3, Rockford. Ransbottom is a Taylor University student who was enroute home. Damages were estimated at $250 to the Ransbottom auto, and $75 to the pick-up truck Dubach was'operating.

Romney Resigns At American Motors DETROIT (UPD — Governorelect George Romney today resigned as vice chairman of the board and a director of American Motors Corp. The resignation came as directors prepared to announce the 12month results of the first profitsharing plan in auto industry history. The directors also announced that Roy Abernethy, president and general manager of AMC, also will become chief executive officer, taking over the post held by Richard E. Cross. Cross will continue as chairman of the board, however. The historic contract, negotiated last year with the United Auto Workers union, is expected to mean an average of five shares of stock for each of AMC’s 25,000 workers. Now that he is Republican governor-elect of Michigan, Romney is expected to resign the vice chairmanship, but may continue as a director. He is expected to retain his $1.75 million worth of AM*' stock. Romney contended there was no conflict of interest in keeping the 103,000 AMC shares in trust and noted that Assistant Secretary of State G. Mennen Williams held his stock and directorship in the Mennen Co. during his six terms as Michigan governor. The board first planned to hear from Romney and then go into the financial report for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. The reportcertain to be better than last year’s $23.7 million earnings—will reveal benefits reaped by AMC’s 25,000 factory workers. The historic profit sharing agreement was written last year with the United Auto Workers and quickly accepted by five other unions with members at AMC. The workers had to wait a year before getting a cut of the financial pie. The employes appear to be in good shape, even though they won’t get a cash benefit. They may get more than five shares of stock apiece to be held in trust for them. Based on figures for the first nine months of the AMC fiscal year, each worker already had accumulated the equivalent of $261. Most of the money, however, would go into a special “progress sharing fund” to pay for fringe benefits like pensions and health insurance.

Fare Increase For Eastern Railroads WASHINGTON (UPD — Eastern railroads have been virtually assured of authority to boost passenger fares 10 per cent to absorb the federal transportation tax when the levy is lifted Friday. The fare increase became al-, most a certainty by default when the deadline for protests to the Interstate Commerce Commission passed without a request for review of the ICC suspension board’s refusal to block the action.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Saturday May Provide Break In Loop Race NEW YORK (UPI) — Baseball men anticipate the greatest spending spree in history when the major league draft is staged at Rochester, N.Y., Nov. 26. The list of players who will be available for the draft was released Wednesday by Commissioner Ford Frick, who announced a radical change in die method of selecting unprotected minor leaguers. Three separate drafts will be conducted during the one-day session at Rochester. 'The first will deal with players carrying a $25,000 price tag, the second wfU be limited to $12,000 players, and the third will be a “bargain basement” sale of SB,OOO players. Those in the $25,000 category are considered the “old timers,” and this year they include such former big leaguers as Johnny Kucks, Al Worthington, Suitcase Simpson, Don Buddin, Ray Jablonski, Jerry Casale, Luke Easter, Ken Lehman and Don Ferrarese. Players carrying a $12,000 price tag are first-year men who signed before Dec. 3, 1961. Those firstyear men who signed after Dec. 3 last, were placed in the SB,OOO category. Thp New York Mets, who get ‘the first pick, a privilege earned by losing 120 games in their season, are almost certain to pick Worthington in a bid to strengthen their pitching staff. Now 33, Worthington had a good slider when he broke in with the old New York Giants in 1953 and obviously has learned some new tricks. The big right-hander had a 15-4 record and a 2.94 earned run average with Indianapolis last season. In addition to Buddin and Jablonski, infielders with plenty of majorleague experience on the list include Reno Bertoia, Steve Bilo, Ken Aspromonte, Mel Roach and Fritz Brickell. Two Women Held On Mail Fraud Charges SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI) —Two women from Culver were free today pending arraignment on mail fraud charges.

Don Drysdale Winner Os Cy Young Award BOSTON (UPI) — Fireballer Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers, whose 25 victories made him the National League’s biggest winner since 1956, today was named winner of the Cy Young award as the major leagues’ pitcher of the year. The 26-year old right-hander, who never won more than 17 games in any previous big league season, received 14 of the votes cast by the 20-man committee of the Baseball Writers Association of America. Jack Sanford, 24-game winner for the San Francisco Giants, was second in the voting with four votes and one vote each went to 23-game winner Bob Purkey of the Cincinnati Reds and 16-game winner Billy Pierce of the Giants. Not a single vote was cast for an American Leaguer despite the fact that Ralph Terry of the New York Yankees, Dick Donovan of the Cleveland Indians, Camilo Pascual o f the Minnesota Twins and Ray Herbert of the Chicago White Sox were 20-game winners. The committee was composed of 10 National League and 10 American League writers. The award, named for the Hall of Famer whose 511 victories are the all-time major league record, was inaugurated in 1956 when Don Newcombe of the Dodgers won it on the strength of a 27-7 record. Other winners were Warren Spahn, Bob Turley, Early Wynn, Vernon Law and Whitey Ford. Drysdale, the 6-foot, 6-inch, 230pound native of Van Nuys, Calif., led the majors in victories and with his 314 innings pitched. His 25-9 record was good for a .735 percentage, his 232 strikeouts topped the NL and his 2.92 earned run average ranked No. 10 in the league. He started 43 games and completed 19.

Major League Draft Slated November 26 By United Press International Most of the Big Ten football squads got down to fundamentals Wednesday in strenuous drills for Saturday’s games which could provide a break in the three-way tie for first place. First place is currently shared by Minnesota, Wisconsin and Northwestern, all with 4-1 records. Milt Bruhn’s Wisconsin Badgers showed no signs in practice of letting down for their engagement against Illinois. Bruhn held a short practice Wednesday, but the Badgers put everything they had into it. Jim Jax, Jim Purnell and Jim Schenk are doubtful starters for the Badgers, and John Hohman’s injuries will definitely keep, him out. Minnesota coach Murray Warmath pulled a surprise scrim-

mage on the Gophers and kept them going until dark. Warmath had his reserves running Purdue plays against the varsity line. Northwestern put behind its memory of the 37-6 shelling it took from Wisconsin last week and stressed defensive maneuvers against Michigan State’s multiple offense. The injured right knee of Jack Cvercko improved slightly but he was still not able to take part in drills. At Champaign, the Illini concentrated on the obvious — the vaunted Wisconsin passing combination of Ron VanderKelen to end Pat Richter. Illinois also worked out against freshmen employing Wisconsin defenses. The Purdue squad worked on its passing game in order to try and crack the armor of Minnesota's defense, one of the best in the nation. Quarterbacks Ron DiGravio and Gary Hogan kept the footballs flying with halfbacks Tom Bloom and Charles King and ends John Greiner and Dave Ellison on the receiving end. Duffy Daugherty’s Michigan State Spartans put in long hours in preparation for the passing barrage it can expect from Northwestern Saturday. The Michigan Wolverines worked out offensive patterns in a non-scrimmage practice for Saturday’s game at lowa City against the Hawkeyes. Coach Bump Elliott said he would make no changes in his starting lineup. In a rough Ohio State workout, Woody Hayes had quarterbacks Joe Sparma and Bill Mrukowski limbering up their passing arms. Quarterback John Mummey tested his sprained ankle and appeared unlikely to play against Oregon Saturday. lowa coach Jerry Burns did some patchwoik on getting a starting lineup ready for the Michigan game. Prospects seemed dim that the Hawkeye star end Tony Giacobazzi would be fully recovered from a knee injury. Injured Lonnie Rogers has fully recovered to take up punting chores.

Gary Gambling Czar Enters Guilty Plea KENTLAND, Ind. (UPI) — Tommy Morgano, 59, Gary gambling czar, pleaded guilty today to bribery charges in a surprise move in Newton Circuit Court while efforts were being made to impanel a jury for his third trial. Morgano went on trial Nov. 7 on charges of offering former Porter County Deputy Sheriff Harold Rayder SIOO,OOO for vice rights in the area. In the ensuing eight days, efforts to select a jury were fruitless. When the court session opened this morning, attorneys went into a huddle with special Judge Everett Lucas of Frankfort and after a two-hour conference Morgano changed his plea. Lucas ordered a pre-sentence investigation and set Dec. 16 for sentencing. Two previous trials of Morgano ended in hung juries in this court. Morgano was charged originally in Porter County at Valparaiso following disclosure of the bribe attempt at a Senate rackets committee hearing in Washington where Rayder appeared as a witness. More than 100 persons were summoned as prospective jurors during efforts to get the third trial started.
