Britain’s Labor Party Confident

LONDON—Britain’s Labor party is gaining confidence that it wiU take over the government after the next general elections and that the 11-year rule of the Conservatives is near its end. They base their optimism on three main points: —British by-elections which have increased Labor’s strength Jn the House of Commons, although not even coming close to endangering the Conservative majority. —Public opinion polls that show mounting evidence of either dissatisfaction or boredom with the present government. —A belief that Prime Minister Harold Macmillan will retire within the next couple of years regardless of the outcome of any future elections. On the latter point, the Conservative Daily Mail this week went a step further. It predicted Macmillan may step down within the next three months. “His stature among Tory (Conservative) members of Parliament is near its lowest ebb,” the

newspaper said. The recent flurry of speculation springs from five recent by-elec-tions in which the Conservatives lost nearly 7 per cent of the vote, a percentage which if continued in a general election would be enough to put the Laborites of Hugh Gaitskell into office with a comfortable majority. General elections in Britain need not be held until October ,< 1964, but the confident Laborites believe that political necessities will force Macmillan or his successor to call them at least by April or May, 1964. Harold Wilson, a member of Gaitskell’s “shadow cabinet” in the opposition, explained the reasoning to this correspondent over coffee one evening in the House of Parliament restaurant. “The chief reason,” he explained, “is that no party in power wants to wait until the last minute for general elections. The closer the deadline, the less chance the government has for maneuver against an emergency which might have an adverse es-

Heyman Stars As Duke Whips South Carolina UPI Sports Writer Art Heyman of Duke is confronted with an unusual obstacle in his bid for All-America honors — he tries too hard. The chief charge leveled against th&. sharpshooting senior is that "fife sometimes gets too enthusiastic about his chores on a basketball court. As a, result, he has gotten into occasional jams ever since his sophomore year for throwing punches instead of the ball. But when Heyman devotes his many talents to basketball, there are few collegians who can rank as his equal. The 6-5, 205-pounder from Rockville Centre, N. Y., proved this once again Tuesday i night when he scored 28 points to lead second-ranked Duke to a i 95-63 romp over South Carolina. West Virginia Wins The two other nationally ranked teams which saw action 'Tuesday night also came through with expected victories. West Virginia, No. 4 in the first weekly United I Press International rating, i trounced VMI, 100-74, and sixth- | ranked Mississippi State opened its season with a convincing 90-55 triumph over Arkansas A&M. Although Heyman scored Twice as many points as anyone else on his team, the Blue Devils still i showed a well-balanced attack ■ with five men hitting in double figures. Joining Heyman were Dennis Ferguson and Fred Schmidt with 14 points each. Jay Buckley with 13 and Jeff Mullins with 11./ Grab Early Lead Duke got off to an early lead and South Carolina never was able to present a serious threat. The Blue Devils stayed hot throughout and hit on 67.2 per cent of their shots. Heyman has a good chance to replace current baseball star Dick Groat as the leading scorer in Duke history. Groat, who finished his collegiate career in 1952, totaled 1,886 points. Heyman entered his final season with 1,237 points and is third on the lsuke all-time list. West Virginia also had all five of its -starters score in double figures, with guard Jim McCormick leading the attack with 22 points. Gale Catlett followed with 17 points. Rod Thorn had 15, Tom Lowry 12 and Mike Wolfe 11. Keydet Top Scorer The Mountaineers, who jumped off to a 9-0 lead in the first two of play, hit ca 36 of 66 floor shots for a 56 per cent average. However, it was junior guard Bill Blair of the Keydets who topped all scorers with 26 points. Leland Mitchell was the big gun for Mississippi State, tallying 29 ■points ■ -and -pu-liing' down LZ rebounds. Arkansas A&M drew ahead in the early minutes, but a jump shot by forward Joe Dan Gold put the Bulldogs ahead for good at 10-9. feet at the polls.” Wilson rejected the idea that the Laborites would campaign on a program of opposition to British membership in the European Common Market. “We would want to cover the whole spectrum,”'he said, “housing, education, pensions and the like.” They would also hit at British unemployment which now is over the 500,000 mark. As for Macmillan, he has based both his domestic and foreign policies on eventual British success in entering the Common Market. The Laborites contend he has given away his bargaining cards, and it is a fact that even should this goal be attained, it appears now that it might come too late to help Macmillan at the polls.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Early Christmas Mailing Is Urged Postmaster John Boch said today, “Right now is the time to start Christmas cards and gifts on their way. The calendar says Christmas is less than a month away, but here in the post office it will be Christmas every day from now on.” The postmaster went on to say that by getting into action now, a lot of headaches can be avoided when the full Christmas rush begins. “For example, don’t take chances on mailing poorly wrapped packages. Use sturdy corrugated mailing cartons, heavy paper adhesive tape and strong cord. Carton containing several gift packages should be fully stuffed with tissue or old newspaper to cushion the contents. “If you have articles of unusual size or bulk, better check with the post office before attempting to mail them — the limits on size and weight of packages vary, depending on where you mail them from. As an extra precaution, it’s always a good idea to place an extra label carrying both your return address and the recipients address inside the carton or package.” Postmaster Boch also suggests, “be sure to send your Christmas card by first class mail, using the attractive new 4 cent Christmas stamps. When sent first class, your cards are delivered quicker, and they’ll be forwarded or returned, if it becomes necessary. Also, they may carry written messages along with your signature.” The postmaster says it’s especially inmportant to include return address on every Christmas card envelope. “Besides • being socially correct, this is a big help to both you and your friends in keeping your mailing lists up-to-date. “Before you mail your Christmas cards, secure free labels from the post office which read, ’all for local delivery’ and ‘all for out of town delivery,’ so that you can sort your cards into two bundles, with the addresses all. facing one way, thus expediting delivery.— Through the fine cooperation of the public during recent years, Boch reports that great progress has been made in getting the Christmas mails through on time. He is making many advance preparations to handle the 1962 Christmas mail. “Mail early and often!” is the postmasters’ special slogan for this year’s “Mail early for Christmas” campaign. It looks like a record year for Christmas mail and that’s why the postmaster will especially appreciate help in getting started now on Christmas mailings. Christmas cards and gifts for most distant points should be mailed first, preferably well before December 10. Those for nearby points should be mailed by December 15, or at least a week before Christmas. Two Decatur Men Judges Ar Celina , . Two. .P„e.ca.to .men judg.ed..m.lhe.

Invasion Intent Is Charged Guerrillas

KEY WEST, Fla. (UPD—The leader of a battle-garbed band of guerillas arrested by U.S. customs agents in a boat in the Florida Keys Tuesday said the group was holding “training exercises” and had no intention of invading Cuba. “We have been doing this for several months. It has never been anything but training exercises,” said Gerald Patrick Hemming, a 6-fodt-7, bearded former Marine. “We supposed they were headed for Cuba,” customs agent Wallace Shanley, a U.S. commissioner, said at a preliminary hearing for the men. He said the 31-foot boat the men were aboard “was capable of the voyage.” Hemming, 25, and his 12 followers were held in lieu of SI,OOO bond each. A U.S. marshal was to bring them to Miami for federal court action. The men all pleaded innocent to a charge of violating U.S. neutrality laws by “an attempt to form an expedition to invade a foreign country.” - Lay In Wait Six customs officers had lain in wait for two days and two nights while the warriors worked to get the motor started on their rented boat. The officers moved in and arrested the men early Tuesday just as the motor finally cranked up at a dock at Sombrero Key, near Marathon in the Florida Keys. Found aboard the boat, named Sally, were 15 rifles, five pistols, several boxes of ammunition, blood plasma and first aid supplies, one hand grenade and two plastic bombs. The group included one Cuban, a Canadian and 11 Americans. They said they had been training for six months on No Name Key, a dense island accesible only by boat and located about 40 miles northeast of Key West and less than 100 miles from Cuba. The group, which calls itself “interpen” for intercontinental penetration force, was formed by Hemming in early 1961 for an assault against Cuba, but the fortunes of the group rose and fell with political developments. In recent months. Hemming and his men have staged a number of Toddler Recovers From Dip In Lake TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UPD — Two-year -old Kevin Aue, Terre Haute, wandered away from his suburban home Tuesday and went for an unwanted dip in a lake. Gary Winders, 15, Terre Haute, passing by, heard the toddler’s cries, pulled him out and applied mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Little Kevin was sent home, wet but well. ' ' Kennedy To Stay At Bing Crosby's Home .. WASHINGTON (UPD — ..President Kennedy will spend next weekend at the Palm Desert, Calif., home of singer Bing Crosby, but Crosby will not be there.

Vandalism Reported To Sheriffs Office The slashing of a front tire on -an automobile belonging to Oren Woodward, route 2, Berne, while the car was parked in the owner’s front drive, was reported today to sheriff Roger Singleton. Also, it was reported that some youths fired from an identified vehicle at some airplanes at the Hi-Way airport, owned by Mrs. Josephine Richardson. Several complaints on children speeding in their cars were also reported to the sheriff today.

training demonstrations with live ammunition for newsmen visiting the Keys to write about the Cuban situation. Several Practice Landings The group has also made several practice amiphibious landings. Hemming, who calls himself Jerry Patrick and wears an Australian bush hat, claims his organization is financed by private donations from anti-Castro Americans. The men, dressed in faded battle fatigues and camoflauged fatigues and many of them wearing beards, said they were not affiliated with 'any Cuban exile group. Informed sources said the men were considered irresponsible soldiers of fortune. In binding the men over to federal court, U.S. Commissioner W. V. Albury told them: “The United States government is attempting to settle the Cuban situation and it doesn’t help when isolated groups interfere with its plans. You men could upset the whole applecart.” Those arrested with Hemming: Joseph C. Garman, 32, Miami; Ronald Ponce De Leon, 22, Havana, Cuba; William J. Dempsey, 21, Ontario, Canada; Lawrence J. Howard Jr., 27, Pico Rivera, Calif.; Edwin A. Collins, 27, Justin J. Wilson, 26, William Seymour, 25, Edmund Colby, 31, Ramigio Arce, and Roy E. Hargraves, 22, all of Miami, and James A. Lewis, 29, and Eleno O. Alvares, 26, both of North Miami.

Severe Smog Holds England In Tight Grip = LONDON (UPD — The worst English smog since a “killer fog” thait claimed 4,000 lives 10 years ago blanketed this island nation today in an opaque shroud of moisture and dirt. Metropolitan police said at least 32 deaths had been reported since midnight Monday, most of them due to fog. The normal death rate for the 700-square mile area is 6 to 8. Visibility over England—Wales and Scotland escaped the fog—was cut to nil in many places. All planes were grounded. Hundreds of minor auto accidents were reported. Ten persons were hurt in Birmingham when a bus driver hit waiting passengers he could not sec. The Weather Bureau predicted the smog, mixed with treacherous frost, would last another 48 hours. Druggists ' issued “smog masks”'', and doctors urged old people, children and persons with weak chests to stay indoors. Carrier Os Death The fog was not the wispy, creeping kind that calls up sinister images of Limehouse, Jack the Ripper and Mack the Knife, but a grim carrier of potential death. It hugged the smoke from a million chimneys and the exhaust from a million autos to the ground in a suffocating pall that recalled the four-day killer fog that started Dec. 5, 1952. Four thousand Britons died of bronchitis—“the British disease” —during that fog. Many more are believed to have died months or years later of lung damage caused then. The fog first formed early Tuesday, cutting daylight visibility to nine feet in many areas. It lifted slightly during the day, then fell again at dusk with an impenetrability that turned pedestrians into blind men bumping into lightposts and stumbling over curbs. People Walk Empty buses crept through the streets, deserted by passengers who could walk quicker. Girls on dates walked ahead of their boy friends’ cars, watching for intersections and warning them of curbs they could not see. Streetlights were mere pinpricks of yellow. The fog probed under doors to fill homes with a faint mist. The worst-hit cities were London and the industrial areas of the midlands, where factory, home and auto smoke mixed with the fog to produce a universal blackout. • Russia's Economic Growth Rate Slumps WASHINGTON (UPD — Russia’s economic growth rate has slumped well below that of Germany, Italy and Japan because of “high cost” defense-space programs, less working time and farm trouble. But findings of a group of experts on Soviet affairs, presented Tuesday to the Senate-House Economic Committee, emphasized that the Soviet Union's economic growth is still almost twice that of the United States.

Ex.-Cong. Harmon In Menial Hospital INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Former Rep. Randall S. Harmon of Indiana’s 10th Congressional District is undergoing a series of evaluations and tests in a hospital for the mentally ill. Dr. Donald Moore, medical director of Laßue Carter Hospital, Indianapolis, confirmed Tuesday that Harmon was adrpitted to the hospital on a temporary commitment from Delaware Circuit Court Nov. 29. Harmon, who was a toolmaker at a Muncie factory at the time he was elected to Congress in 1958, gained national attention during his two years in office. Dr. Moore pointed out that un dec Indiana law, “a temporary commitment is designed to furnish necessary psychiatric care for patients who are not well enough to recognize their illness and are in need of treatment. The law furnishes the authority for admission, confinement and detention for observation, diagnosis and cane and treatment until it is determined such care or treatment is no longer necessary.” However, the law limits the period of hospital confinement to not over 90 days and specifically decrees that the civil rights of such patients “shall not be abrogated or affected in any way by this order of temporary commitment” Moore said Harmon was hospitalized in Muncie Nov. 3 for treatment of chronic varicose ulcers "complicated by phlebitis. Phlebitis is an infection of the blood vessels. He pointed out that “recognition of more serious emotional symptoms by his family and attending physicians was the first step in providing care and treatment for

his emotional illness.” “Such action can be an exceedingly difficult and painful process for the family, particulary in a person as colorful and prominent as Congressman Harmon," the director observed. “However, their courage in taking early steps may have avoided a catastrophe. Early and prompt recognition of serious emotional illness with adequate care and treatment offers a prospect of complete recovery in better than 90 per cent of such cases.” Moore went on to say that Harmon "is at present undergoing a series of tests, and until the results of these are known, it is undesirable to hazard a specific diagnosis or prognosis as to the duration of treatment.” Harmon has been a frequent member of patient groups discussing current eventsj, in the diayroom of the hospital admission ward since his admission. Harmon, after running for Congress seven times, finally was elected and served one term as a Democrat. His first five races were as a Republican. He was defeated in the Democratic primary last May.
