Truck Loaded With Hogs Upsets Here A hog round-up, caused when a truckload of 190 squealing porkers overturned on U.S. highway 224 by the Decatur golf course at 1:30 a.m., lasted 5Vi hours this morning, sheriff Roger Singleton said today. About 107 of them were captured alive, and the rest, about 83, were turned over to a rendering company. The sheriff’s posse, state policeman Gene Rash, city police, city firemen, Hammond Brothers were among those who helped the tremendous task of corralling the wiggling pigs in total darkness. Driver Trapped Driver Jack A, Patton, 23, of Pottstown, Pa., told the investigating officers that he was not sure what happened, but that the truck veered off the left side of the highway across the oncoming lane and into the berm, where it got away from the driver, and turned over. Patton was trapped in the cab of the truck for 30 minutes or so, and a number of nearby volunteers, from the Villa Lanes, helped free him. Patton was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital where he was treated for shock and bruises. He was headed east from Illinois to Pennsylvania. The driver was charged with reckless driving by the Indiana

Russian Jets Go To India

NEW DELHI UPI) — Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said today that Russia definitely will live up to its promise to ship jet fighters to India and establish a MIG factory in this country. Nehru said there may be some delay in delivery of the first fighters because of the Cuban and general world situations —not Red China—but there is “no question of the Soviet Union backing out of its commitments.” Defense Minister Y. B. Chavan supported this. “The Soviet Union has agreed to supply some MIGs in December or a little later, some next year and some later,” Chavan declared. He did not give any figures. Nehru said press reports that the MIG contract had been withdrawn by the Soviets because of Chinese opposition were in error. “There is some little difficulty about delivery," he said. "That has nothing to do with China but the whole situation, particularly in the Caribbean Sea.” An official spokesman said later in the day that the CommunistChinesewillhandoverthe first group of 64 sick and wounded Indian prisoners Wednesday to Indian Red Cross personnel in Bomdi La, tar behind the Chinese lines.

state police. Two Wreckers Used Two wreckers were called to the scene, but the truck was too heavy to move. Highway 224 was blocked at times during the 5%-hour struggle. Some of the helpers secured cribbing, and steel posts, and a corral was built, and the hogs herded from the truck into the corral. Meanwhile, many had escaped, and they were rounded up by men running around in the dark. Les Branstetter, of the Decatur stockyard, furnished a stockyard truck. The truck, which belonged to the Gotwals Brothers, of Soudtron, Pa., was a total loss, estimated at $40,000 for the truck, tractor and hogs. It also sheared off a Citizens Telephone pole. Sheriff Roger Singleton praised those who helped for their efforts which averted any further calamity by returning the situation to order from chaos.

Bethlehem To Build Huge Indiana Mill

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Indiana’s. case for federal aid to build ia Lake Michigan port appeared stronger than ever today in the wake of Bethlehem Steel Company’s announced plans for a $250 million finishing steel plant near the proposed port site. “I think I can say with reasonable certainty this plant will make the Lake-Porter County area the largest steel-producing 1 center in the world,” Governor Welsh told a news conference shortly after the Monday announcement. The feasibility of the Bums Ditch site for the state-built, S7O million port has been approved "by the Army Engineers District office, in Chicago. However, the project needs Budget Bureau approval in Washington before a federal appropriation can be sought. The state wtaints $25,500,000 from the federal government to finance part of the port construction. Indiana officials have said, however, if federal aid cannot be obtained the state will go it alone. “This strengthens an already strong case,” Welsh said of the giant steel firm’s action. He said “you can be sure” the state will bring the plans for the plant to the attention <4 federal authoritiev. The company owns 3,300 acres adjacent to the port site, and it is there Bethlehem hopes to build what eventually might become the largest steel mill in the world. \ Integrated Steel Plant Arthur. B. Homer, chairman "of the company, said Bethlehem’s eventual goal in Porter County was a fully integraged steel plant. He said that although “it is now only an engineer’s dream, the mill’s ingot capacity could reach 10 million tons, making it the largest steel mill in the world.” However, the initial phase ofthe building program announced Monday calls for a mill to provide finishing facilities for plates, hot and cold-rolled sheets and tinplate. The new facility — named the Burns Harbor Plant —will add to the firm’s finishing capacity but not to its raw steel output. However, it is hoped that eventually facilities for raw steel - making

Soviet, Red China Split Flares Anew

ROME (UPl)—The increasingly bitter ideological split between Russia and Red China burst angrily into the open today at the Italian Communist party congress here with the Chinese fighting alone against Soviet bloc opposition. “You are making this congress a forum for attacks on a brotherly party,” Chinese delegate Chao Yi-ming. complained to the 1,000 delegates. But he stubbornly defended the “different opinions” he said Chinese Communists have on “ia number of the important international problems.” Chao spoke in the third day of the congress which has brought into public some of the strongest Soviet and other Communist criticism off Peking’s “hard line” ideology since the rift first developed. As soon as the Chinese sat down, a new’ verbal barrage'dl-' rected against Peking was launched by Spanish and French delegates. Soviet Communist party Secretary Frol Kozlov had his day Monday when he spoke for the Russian group. By chanceor design Italian party leader Palmiro Togliatti, a Moscow disciple, turned his back on Chao when the Chinese finished speaking. Chao began his speech with an attack on Yugoslavia and said Tito, now in Moscow, and his par-

Officials of/ the steel company predicted that it would increase employment in the area by about : 2,000. ‘ Bayh Gives Support Announcement of the project ■ was delayed until the firm re- ’ ceived assurances from Sen.-elect . Birch E. Bayh Jr., D-Ind., that he would support the proposals for the port. Bayh was reached at Orlando, ■ Fla., Sunday morning and flown in an Indiana National Guard C-47 I to his Terre Haute home that night. He met Governor Welsh Monday Wternoon, and the an- : nouncement came a short time i later..

ty are “100 per cent traitors to communism.” “The modem revisionists represented by the Tito clique have caused the Yugoslav people to lose their social achievement and they have restored capitalism in Yugoslavia,” Chao said. He,.said the days of capitalism everywhere “are numbered.” Then he turned to defense of Albania, which adheres to the Peking brand of communism. “In your party congress,” he told the delegates, “there have been unilateral and unjustified attacks against ia Marxist-Leninist party, the Albanian .workers- party, and against a socialist state, the Ala banian republic. Kozlov, without mentioning the Chinese by name, said Monday that the theory that war is inevitable was “an adventuristic portion that has nothing to do with Marxism. '’’Communism, hc shia, is strong enough'to Spread in the world without playing with “thermonuclear fire.” He heaped abuse on Peking’s Albanian friends and said the Sino-Indian fighting could only help “the imperialists and the reactionary circles of India.” The Chinese listened impassively to Kozlov’s criticism. The day before, they bad ostentatiously failed to join in a standing ovation when Togliatti credited Khrushchev with averting a nuclear war over Cuba.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara today announced his plans to drastically reorganize the Army Reserves and National Guard, The proposals, which already have overcome most congressional opposition, call for elimination of 1,800 units and the creation of more than 1,000 new outfits in the 700,000-man reserve and guard forces. McNamara ordered changes to take place immediately in the orman National Guard, the defense secretary wrote letters to the governors of the states asking them to acc ep t the far - reaching changes. The long-awaited plan, which will be completed next summer if all -barriers are overcome, calls for re-aligning four reserve and four National Guard divisions into brigades. It also includes changes that would affect the two services as follows: —The Army Reserves would eliminate 1,060 excess units and create 630 new units. The Pentagon said “after adjustments for 35 units which were called for but had not been organized, the new loss of Army Reserve units is 393.” —The National Guard would eliminate 802 and organize 386 units. The Pentagon said after adjustment for 78 paper units, the net loss would be 338. “This reorganization is designed to increase the combat readiness of our reserve forces,” McNamara said. “The increase in combat readiness .. will he achieved by reassigning men from low-priority units to high priority units, by increasing the equipment and increasing the number of instructors.” Army Secretary Cyrus R. Vance, in a statement issued simultaneously, said the 1,800 units being eliminated were “not required in the event of mobilization.” He said “I would like to emphasize that the actions are aimed iat improving combat readiness.” The congressional group most concerned with the plan—A House armed services subcommittee headed by F. Edward Herbert, D-La.—withdrew its opposition to -the plan Monday. McNamara revealed that he (Continued on Page Eight)

Moves To Prevent Renewal Os Strike

LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Federal mediators hoped to resume talks thtf week between Lockheed Aircraft® Corp., and the International of Machinists (I AM) following President Kennedy’s move Monday to prevent renewal of a strike. A 10-day restraining order was issued Monday pending outcome of a federal government request for an 80-day injunction. Acting after Kennedy invoked the Taft-Hartley law in the dispute, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy filed a complaint in U.S. District Court here seeking an immediate federal injunction against continuation of the strike. Federal Judge. Jesse W. Curtis set Dec. 10 for the hearing on the complaint. Work Toward Talks Mediation officials worked toward resumption of talks Wednesday in the dispute which has centered around—Ahr-MAM's . demand ' for a union shop.

Russia, West Nations Trade Accusations GENEVA (UPI) — The Soviet Union and the West accused each other today of trying to sabotage an early nuclear test ban agreerrient. 0 Soviet negotiator Semyon K. Tsarapkin told the nuclear subcommittee of the 17-nation disarmament conference that alleged Western maneuvers to avoid agreement were “a very dangerous thing.” British negotiator Joseph Godber retorted the West had been subjected to “a constant stream of abuse which is of no help whatsoever” in reaching agreement. The exchanges came at the 46th session of the three-nation subcommittee composed of Brittain, the United States and the Soviet Union. The 2Vz hour session made no progress toward narrowing the East-West gap on testing. U.S. Ambassador Arthur H. Dean told Tsarapkin: “The completely negative attitude of the Soviet Union" made him feel the Russians “do not want an agreeImfent on any reasonable basis.” Li The exchange arose from a 1 Western attempt to pin the Rus—' sians down on what a Western spokesman termed the “completely fuzjty and confusing” Soviet st arid on unmanned seismic stations — the so - called “black box” system of policing a test ban. Today Dean said the United States wants to know: —How the “black boxes" can assist in controlling a test ban without on-site inspection.

ardy to the national health and A union attorney argued against the order saying the IAM already had complied with the purpose of the Taft-Hartley law postponing the strike twice before. Alfred Klein said the cooling off period, the object of the law, already totaled 12» days. Seek Employe-Vote Company attorney Robert Canan supported the order, noting that if no agreement on a new contract is reached within 60 days employes must vote on the firm’s lest offer. Lockheed has urged such a vote many times. The IAM went out on strike at midnight last Tuesday and picketed Lockheed’s missiles and space division and Lockheed-Cal-ifornia Co. installations for two days. They returned to work late Thursday at the request of the Federal Mediationand Conciliation Service after President Kennedy appointed a three-man board of inquiry. The board called the temporary voluntary three precarious and said the union security issue had not been settled. £_■ j.
