Soviet Union Rejects Plan

GENEVA (UPD — The Soviet Union today rejected neutral nations’ proposals for a nuclear test ban. Soviet de 1 e g*a t e Semyon K. Tsarapkin turned down the neutrals’ plan when the 17 - nation disarmament conference met in its 86th plenary session. The neutral proposals, Tsarapkin said, “do not reflect the Soviet position.” He added that the neutrals’ plan was “an attempt to apply Western control measures to the proposed (test ban) agreement and therefore quite inaceeptable to the Soviet Union.” A Western delegation spokesman said the Soviet stand appeared to block any chance of a test ban agreement before? Christmas. The Russian turn down came shortly after the United States had said it is interested in the neutral proposals for resolving the test ban deadlock. U.S. Ambassador Arthur H. Dean told theconference the United "States was giving careful consideration to the proposals made last week by Sweden and India. Tsarapkin, on the other hand, again mentioned the Russian plan for test inspection by means of the "black boxes” — unmanned seismic stations. He did not make a formal proposal on the subject, however. The West has been cool to the “black box” plan for fear the stations would not be foolproof, i Dean said the most interesting points in the two proposals made by the neutrals last -week were those concerned with international

UN Tackles Tough Problem Os Finances UNITED NATIONS (UPD—The United Nations, faced with bankruptcy over the Congo and other peace-keeping operations, tackled again today the question of how to collect millions of dollars in debts from member nations. The General Assembly’s Budgetary Committee, which holds the purse strings for the world organization, scheduled debate on two draft resolutions designed to stabilize the whole financial system. While the assembly prepared to wrestle with the crucial money problem, Secretary General Thant called on the United States and the Soviet Union to follow up their Cuba compromise with “give and take” solutions on Berlin and other cold war issues. In a lecture at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Sunday, Thant chided the Western powers for failing to “appreciate the full significance of the obvious change of political climate” in the Soviet Union since the death of Premier Josef Stalin. He said he was convinced that Premier Nikita Khrushchev "belongs to a different category of leaders, with a coherent philosophy of the world based on the thesis, not of the inevitability of war, but of the imperative of competitive co-existence. “We may or may not agree with his philosophy or aims, but we have very good reasons to be--1 lieve that he does not want war,” Thant said. 1 t Recalling the U.N. role in nego- ‘ tiations over the Cuban crisis, ’ Thant said: “There miay be many who may wish for a more complete and , comprehensive solution of the Cu- ‘ ban crisis, but in this imperfect ■ world, we have, at least for the moment, to accept less than per1 feet solutions;” <.. ,„ , ' County School Head To Attend Meeting County superintendent Gerald - W.

on - site inspection of suspected underground blasts. “We believe that any agreement must contain provisions for detecting and inspecting these concomitant with the obligation to cease testing,” he said. Dean warned, the Soviet Union ♦,'ould have to change its position regarding inspection before the neutral resolutions bore fruit. The American delegate reiterated his country’s opposition to an uncontrolled .moratorium on testing, because of the way the Russians broke the last moratorium in 1961. Adult Scout Heads Will Attend Dinner More than 150 adult scout leaders from the 20 units in Adams county are expected to attend the . appreciation dinner in Fort Wayne , this evening. Highlight of the program will be awarding of silver beaver, leader citations, and special awards, preceding the speech by Joseph A. Brunton, Jr., chief scout executive.

Robert Shraluka, Ex-Sheriff, Dies Os Heart Attack

Supreme Court Agrees To Hear Winston Case WASHINGTON (UPD — The Supreme Court agreed today to decide whether blind Communist; leader Harry Winston may sue the' government for damages based on alleged negligence of federal prison officials Winston, 54, claimed in a suit i that he" would not have gone blind if prison medical officers had correctly diagnosed a brain tumor he developed in 1959. He was one of the Communist party leaders convicted in 1949 of conspiring to advocate the violent overthrow of the government. His sentence was commuted in 1961 because of his general physical condition and the fact he was blind. The Supreme Court will schedule arguments on his case later. At the same time it will hear arguments on a parallel case involving Carlos Muniz, an inmate of the Danbury, Conn., Correctiorir al Institute who was seriously injured during a prison riot on Aug. 24, 1959. In other acts todWy, the#«r»urt< '—Ruled that the Interstate Cofemerce Commission went too far in authorizing new motor carrier service to replace that interrupted by lawful union activity. The case is an outgrowth of the Teamsters’ attempt to organize some small trucking firms operating rdostly within Nebraska. When the small intrastate companies were faced with a breakdown in service to their out-of-state customers, 12 of them formed their own firm which obtained ICC authority to operate from Omaha to Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo. A lower court upheld this. But today Justice Hugo L. Black wrote that the ICC “has enough to do within its congressionally appointed fie l d without stepping over into the field of labor legislation.” —Let stand a legal victory for the Federal Power Commission in an accounting dispute with 76 electric companies over allocation of what the FPC called “political’’ advertising. The advertisements, appearing in magazines between 1956 and 1958, dealt with the controversy over public vs. private ownership of electric power. The FPC said the costs of the ads should be deducted from income on the grounds that the accounting should not reflect any implication that rate payers should stand the cost of “political programs favored by the companies.” The companies wanted to include the cost in operating expenses. —Refused to accept an appeal from a lower court ruling that prohibited the city of Baton Rouge, La., from enforcing* an Ordinance ‘ requiring segregated bus seating. —Agreed to examine a Justice Department complaint that the Singer Manufacturing—Go.,—has been illegally trying to keep Japanese sewing machines out of the United States. A lower court had ruled that the Justice Department had qot established a violation of the Sherman antitrust law. Stolen Pay Phone Found Demolished A pay telephone, stolen from the phone booth at DeVor’s Trailer Court last Thursday, was reported found this morning by Lawrence Noll, and recovered totally wrecked. The theft was reported to the city police Friday. This morning Noll called the coUnty sheriff and reported that a telephone was laying beside a bridge on county road B*4, about half a mile from the Kirkland township line in Washington township. The road, m east-west road, runs parallel to highway 224, and is blacktopped. Deputy sheriff Robert Meyer was dispatched to the scene, and he recovered the telephone, which had been smashed into two separate pieces, so that the thieves could get to the coins in it. The telephone had been pried from the booth.

• I J t F il < Bk aSL a |BM Robert W. Shraluka Mysterious Parley Held By Bayh, Welsh INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Sen.elect Birch E. Bayh, Jr., held a mysterious conference with Governor Welsh in the latter’s Statehouse office today after hurrying home from Washington in a Na-1 tipnal Guard plane. I After the two Democratic officials talked, they declined to discuss their topic with newsmen. Bayh said it was “a matter of the utmost importance to the state.” Asked if it had anything to do with the Burns Ditch harbor on Lake Michigan, Bayh said he couldn’t discuss that. Bayh said the conference would be resumed this afternoon after a lunch-hour break, and there may be something to announce this afternoon or Tuesday. “lye can’t divulge it now,” he said.' “It might interfere with the results we hope to obtain.” The- matter- appeared -4e-—ha been of sufficient importance to cut short Bays’s “semi-vacation”> at Cape Canaveral, Fla. Bayh said he returned to Washington before he had intended to. Officials said they stretched a point a little in furnishing Indiana National Guard plane transportation for Bayh. Senators may use such transpOrtaiton, but Bayh won’t be a senator for a few weeks yet. Governor Welsh said efforts to s get Bayh home in a commercial plane were fruitless', so the guard was asked to pick up Bayh if a plane were in the Florida area.

(UPD—A Boeing 707 Stratojet with 129 persons aboard landed safely at Baer Field here last night on a runway considered too. short for the giant plane after authorities received a call that a bomb had been placed on board. A search by local police, sheriff’s officers and state authorittes failed to turn up any explosives, and the Trans World Airline plane continued on to Chicago after three hours on the ground. The 10,000-foot runway on which the pilot. L.I. Hylton of New York City, made his landing was regarded as too short for use by a 707. The plane carried 122 passengers 'and a crew of seven. One of the big jets’ four engines had to be kept running while authorities, conducted the search because there are no facilities at Baer Field to start jets. Passengers and crew members were not on board during the search of the aircraft and the luggages.

i machinists are able to agree on | new contracts covering fee barI gaining units involved, there can be no assurance of continued operations,” the inquiry board reported to the President. Therefore, “in order to remove a peril to the national safety and to secure a resumption of trade, commerce and (transportation,” . Kennedy instructed the attorney general to proceed under Section 208 of the Taft-Hartley law and enjoin continuance of the strike. Granting of the injunction will ; produce at least an 80-day statutory “cooling off" in the strike and require the union members to re- , main at work.

Good Fellows Club Is Launched Today

(By A Good Fellow) It’s a time now of hurry and bustle. Fruit cakes, candles and goodies of all kinds are being made in our kitchens. The opportunr ity to shop for all the mechanical i toys and glorious gifts is a welcomed and institution. • But for some, Christmas doesn't include these pleasant moments of preparation. That is why Delta Theta Tau sorority organized the Good Fellows club back in 1917. They felt the need to bring happiness to the less fortunate, especially children, at Christmas time. Some families, during the past year, have experienced illness or death, unemployment, a pension that doesn’t extend beyond the necessities, or other unfortunate circumstances that dim their Christmas. It is through your generousity and the Good Fellows' deep comradeship and sensitivity they hold for others, that allows these families to also experience a pleasant moment at Christmas. Each year the Good Fellows organize the whole routine of determining the 75-80 needy families, soliciting and purchasing the necessary food, toys and money, organizing. baskets according to size of families and seeing that each basket is delivered. This all requires many contributed hours of work from the busy schedules of wives, mothers and working girls. Co-Chairmen Committees are appointed early in the year and by the first of Decatur the wheels are turning. This year, the co-chairmen are Mrs. Kenneth Shannon and Mrs. Wilmer Bultemeier. Committee heads are Mrs. Robert Colter arid Mrs. Kenneth Erhart, food; Mrs. Robert Krueckeberg and Mrs. Mel Weisman, toys. Miss Rosemary Spangler,, treasurer; Mrs. Henry Neireiter, handling the phone calls. Her number is 3-2525. Publicity is being handled by the co- . chairmen. } Immediately after Thanksgiving publicity must be started to exf plain the program to the public and invite them to share in the work. Lists of needy families are - obtained from the welfare departa ment, the township trustees, all the city schools, and in some case, in- - dividuals. Then boxes are placed f in each school to collect canned food. It is hoped that each child ; who can, will donate a can of food. , Money containers are placed in

SEVEN CENTS

the First State Bank, Holthouse Drug Store and the Daily Democrat office for the convenience of those wishing to contribute money. A delivery headquarters must be obtained and the fire station has offered both space and manpower for many years. Also, arrangements must be made to obtain empty cartons for collecting food and toys and for packing of boxes the day before Christmas, and, of course, the much-needed "cooperation of the city trucks for delivery. Visit Each Family This all takes a bit of organizing and then the real work begins. Members divide into groups of two or three and visit each name on the list to determine the needs, especially of the children. Each year a completely new list 'is compiled. The club concentrates primarily on the absolute needs, and yet, who can doubt that a candy treat and a new doll or truck isn’t a need to a small child at Christmas time? After all the families are investigated and the number and size of each family is determined, the food and toy committees really function. The food committee keeps a constant check on contributed food so that a few days before delivery they know what food must be purchased. The toy committee visits the local merchants to invite them to contribute any toys they may wish to donate the day before delivery. Paid By Contributions Purchased food and toys are paid for by contributions to the Good Fellows fund, which is separate from the sorority’s treasury. In addition to hours of this time, SIOO is contributed by the Detlas to launch’ the Good Fellows club Other clubs and individuals donate to the fund each yea? Any contribution is greatly needed and appreciated. V , I The annual appeal for donations I to the Good Fellows club is being m ade iv>w. Used toys in good > I condition may be taken to the fire c station or given to any member of B Delta Theta Tau. In addition to g the collection boxes previously - mentioned, any contributions of g money may be mailed to Miss _ Rosemary Spangler, route 2, Dei catur. 1 Best wishes in all your busy 1 preparations now, and do share a . few moments to make your Good a 1 Fellows contributions.
