Step Up Plans For Building Indiana Port INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana A Port Commission stepped up plans Wednesday for toe state’s deepwater harboif at Buras Ditch in Porter County. The decision to proceed with hiring engineering consultants for toe port came in the wake of toe announcement earlier this week that Bethlehem Steel Co. will build a $250 million steel plant on' land adjacent to the port site. Clinton Green, secretary- treasurer of toe commission, said that that toe firm’s plan to have toe plant in operation in 1964 means that ships will begin calling at the non-existent oort by that time. He noted that'since Bethlehem has agreed to build one arm of the port and presumably will begin work on it in toe near future toe commision should have its own engineers reaay to work with toe steel firm.

The commission authorized Green and toe finance committee to take steps toward hiring an engineering firm. The commission will approve toe contract at its Jan. 2 meeting. The commission also agreed to confer with Bethlehem regarding possible joint work on railroad marshalling yards at the site. Members said joint construction would “save some money.” Members of the commission agreed to ask toe 1963 General Assembly to release the remaining $1.27 million of the $2.1 million appropriated by past legislatures for land acquisition at the site. Green said the commission already has acquired 330 of the 440 acres needed for toe first phase of the port. The commission wishes to use the remaining land acquisition money for engineering work. Chairman James R. Fleming, Fort Wayne, said all money advanced by the state for toe port will be repaid out of toe bond issue for the port. William E. Shumaker, Indianapolis, said the finance committee is “working both sides of the street” and proceeding with plans for getting toe port built as rapidly as possible with or without federal funds. The state is seeking' a congressional appropriation of about $25 million for dredging and construction of the outer breakwater. Shumaker said, however, that the port could be built by toe . state alone if necessary. Commission members agreed to meet in Washington the week of Jan. 8 to “give the White House a pep talk” if the Bureau of the; Budget has not reported by that time on the feasibility of toe port. A favorable recommendation by toe bureau is needed for federal support.

Democrats To Have 67-33 Senate Hold WASHINGTON (UPlj—A lineup of 67 Democrats and 33 Republicans was assured in the next Senate by the concession of Sen. Joseph Bottom in South Dakota Wednesday. Bottum’s concession meant victory for Democrat George McGovern, former food for peace directr. The battle for the South Dakota Senate seat was the last to be decided. Former New Mexico Gov. Edwin L. Mechem, a Republican, signed a register in Washington Wednesday officially putting him on the payroll as a senator. Mechem resigned as governor and was named to the Senate after Democratic Sen. Dennis Chavez died. Mechem was defeated in November for re-election as governor. The addition of McGovern means the Democrats will have three more members in the new Senate than they did ‘in the old Senate. The GOP will have three fewer. The single vacant House seat is the one to which Rep. Clem Miller, D-Calif., was elected posthumously in November. There will be a special election next month to fiD it. If a Democrat is elected as expected to replace Miller, the congressional lineup will be: HOUSE Dem. Rep.

He said later, however, that the loss might run <as high as $300,000. Petri, who was alone in the store when the robbery began, said the three men were in the store Tuesday to examine some diamonds “for a wedding present.” He said he admitted them to toe locked showroom when they returned Wednesday and they immediately drew guns. He said they knocked him to toe floor and handcuffed him, then handcuffed and gagged two employes who returned from lunch while toe robbery was in progress. 1716 bandits cleaned out two display cases in toe showroom and took additional jewelry from a workroom. Ann LeClaire, Petri’s secretary, passed the men at the door as she returned from lunch. She

found her employer and fellow workers bound and called police. She said she also recognized the men as having been in the store the day before. Petri and his employes said the leader of toe bandits appeared to be about 40 years old while the other two were in their 20s. Police speculated that the leader was an out-of-town man who had enlisted the aid of two local thieves.

Polaris Missile Launching Fails CAPE CANAVERAL (UPD—A Naivy attempt to score its first full success with a highly advanced Polaris “A-3” missile failed today when the rocket veered out of control and had to be destroyed. It was the sixth straight Polaris accident. The “A-3, most powerful of three versions of toe submarine-launched missile, has yet to record a full success. The stubby rocket was fired today from a launching pad on the cape. The first stage appeared to perform fine, burning for about a minute to send toe upper stage

and a dummy warhead into the edge of apace. But when the second stage ignited high in the sky, the effort fell apart. The Polaris went out of control, and its brilliant white vapor trail wove a corkscrew formation against the blue background for about 15 seconds. Then, as the missile soared high above the Atlantic, a range safety officer tripped two switches that deliberately blew it apart. The wreckage tumbled harmlessly back into toe ocean well east of Cape Canaveral. Chiffon Use a pure soap solution when washing chiffon.
