SOCIETY

EVANGELINE CIRCLE HAS POTLUCK SUPPER Sixteen members of the Evangeline Circle of the Zion United Church of Christ met recently in the church dining room for a potluck supper. The room was beautifully decorated in a Christmas (heme and a delicious meal was enjoyed by the members. The business meeting was held following the supper.

Instead of bringing an exchange gift, each member contributed $1 which is to be sent to someone who, due to misfortune, could use the extra money. It was voted to subtract an additional amount from the treasury to bring the total of the gift to $25. Next year’s officers were then announced by the president and are Mrs. Vernon Luginbiii, president; Mrs. Ron Gerber, secretary, and Mrs. Tom Schlotterback, treasurer. Mrs. LaVerne Roth gave a reading entitled, "The Christmas Guest." The meeting was then closed and the silent auction held.

News Bureau-Type Staff By Democrats INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Some of the tools used by Democratic Central Committee publicity exnerts in the unset election of Birch Bayh, who will replace Homer Canehart Jan. 9 as U.S. senator, will be utilized in projecting a favorable public image of Democratic state lawmakers.

Investigate loud' Commercials On TV WASHINGTON (UPI) — The i Federal Communications Commission, in response to a deluge of complaints, will investigate “irritatingly loud” television commercials. The agency Tuesday appealed to broadcasters to listen for themselves and to eliminate any practices which might contribute to “annoyingly loud” advertisements. It suggested they lend an ear to the “rapid-fire delivery” and •“strident tones” of some announcers.. “.Complaints have been coming in by dribbles for years,” one FCC official said. “But recently they have multiplied. Maybe it's because Chairman Minow has been telling everyone- within earshot that he hears the noise level rise on commercials.” FCC Chairman Newton N. Minow has said his sensitive ears have noticed that “commercials seem to sound louder than the programs,” although his engineers can’t detect the difference on their monitoring devices. Minow said he wanted the volume of commercials limited to the volume of adjacent program material. __ The FCC voted unanimously to investigate the situation despite the fact that past inquiries “have generally revealed that no violations of commission rules, such as overmodulation, for example, were involved as the cause of loudness of which listeners complained.” Sen. Clifford P. Case, R-N.J., one of several members of Congress who passed on complaints to the FCC from their constituents, said he hoped the commission would “bring this public nuisance to an end.” Case cited the protest of one parent who said that loud commercials not only woke up his baby, but also one in the next apartment.

Setback Suffered By. Powell From Cancer

BEVERLY HILLS. Calif. (UPI) — Dick Powell appears to have suffered a setback in his battle against cancer, but the actor's physician emphasized Tuesday that reports' Powell may not live to the end of the year were inaccurate. “He is not a terminal case,” Dr. John C. Sharpe said. “It takes a lot to knock out a big man like that.” Powell’s press agent said the 57-year-old actor is not responding to cobalt treatment and is now getting intravenous treatment according to what he learned from Dr. Sharpe. “The doctor said Powell is under increased sedation and it now appears the back trouble for which he was hospitalized three weeks ago may not be altogether unrelated to the cancer,” Frank McFadden said. Powell and his wife, actress June Allyson, moved with their two children Tuesday night from their home, here to an apartment on Wilshire Boulevard, also in Beverly Hills. Dr. Sharpe said the actor-pro-ducer-director “is a very sick man.” He said he was suspicious J that the back trouble, first diagnosed as a muscular spasm, may be another malignancy. Powell reported earlier that the cobalt treatments at UCLA Medical Center had reduced the cancerous growth by 85 per cent. He suffered from malignancies in the lymph glands and upper right chest. Two Seoul Rockets Launched Tuesday POINT ARGUELLO. Calif. (UPI)—Two Blue Scout rockets were launched Tuesday—one a spectacular display witnessed by thousands—the other a secret operation in darkness. j The first carried a Navy navigational satellite. Its launch at sundown caused a dazzling shower of orange and red bursts that sent thousands of persons to their telephones thinking a rocket had gone astray and exploded. The Air Force refused to disclose the nature of the second firing. A spokesman confirmed only that it was launched after the first satellite, but refused to give a specific time or say whether it attained orbit. A rocket bearing the navigational satellite, called Transit SA, was seen by persons from south of Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay area and as far east as Utah. The optical illus’cn apparently was caused because the sun was below the horizon, but the rocket, at 330,000 feet, and the vapor trails it left were still in the sunlight and reflected the sun’s ray§. It was the last of six prototypes before four operational navigational satellites will be launched to enable ships and submarine® to pinpoint their positions from anywhere on the earth.

Geneva Man Sought After Jail Escape Dillis Shallow, 22-year-old Geneva resident, is being sought by Redkey police folowing, his escape from a detention cell at the Redkey city building. Authorities said , he dug up a portion of broken ce- ' ment in the floor of the cell and . wiggled beneath the bars. He was being held in connection with a car that had been reported stolen earlier from a' used car lot in Portland. He was charged with having no driver’s license and im'prtiper registration. Employes Warned By New York Publisher NEW YORK (UPl'—New York Daily News Publisher F.M. Flynn said today that if the 12-day-old strike of printers continues, the newspaper “will have no alternative but to further reduce our present staff.” In a letter to the daily’s 5,500 employes, Flynn s’so said the news might have io increase either the price c>» the paper to readers or “raise advertising rates. . .more than three times the amount they have ever been raised in the past at one time.” Bertram A. Powers, president of Local 6 of the International Typographers Union, was told of Flynn’s letter as he and his negotiators met with the newspaper representatives in another effort to end 5 the strike. Powers said he nad no comment to make at this time on Flynn’s letter. Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz said Tuesday that the strike might continue for the rest of the winter. Wirtz’ gloomy statement followed an apparently fruitless bargaining session between the New York Publishers Association and the striking printers supervised by William E. Simkin, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Wirtz did not attend the negotiations. Federal mediators emerging from the joint talks said, “Nothing has been accomplished. There was very little to be optimistic about.” The union has asked for a sl9 package increase in wages and fringe benefits over two years. The newspapers have offered a $9.20 per week package. 1962 Polio Total Remains At 23 Cases INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Indiana’s 1962 polio case total remained at 23 at the last count, the State Board of Health reported today, three more than this time last year. | No new cases were added to the list for last wfeek. Although slightly ahead of last year’s case total, it compared with a 5-year median of 138 cases. s ■■■ • “22222

Soviet Russia Is Accused By U. S. GENEVA (UPI) — The United States accused the Soviet Union today of wanting an uncontrolled moratorium on nuclear testing so it can be free to break promises like those it made over the shipment of weapons to Cuba. American Ambassador Arthur H. Dean told the 17-nation disarmament conference the West will never agree to a situation where a test ban depends on Russian good faith. Dean also accused the Russians of refusing an interim agreement banning all tests so they could go on testing their own nuclear weapons. He noted Tuesday’s announcement by the Atomic Epergy Commission in Washington that the Soviets had exploded two intermediate yield nuclear tests in the atmosphere over Novaya Zemlya earlier this week. “The Soviet Union wants to impose another unilateral arrangement in lieu of an effective and workable negotiated treaty ending all tests,” Dean said. “Under this the Soviet Union would be free to break its pledge, just as it broke Chairman Khrushchev’s solemn pledge of Jan. 14, 1960, and Foreign Minister Gromyko’s statement that the Russians were shipping no offensive missiles to Cuba.” Cold Wave Warning For Part Os U. S. By United Press International Cold wave warnings were extended to Minnesota and North Dakota today in what could mark the beginning of the end of a winter’s eve heat wave over much of the nation. The Weather Bureau said temperatures would be 20 degrees lower than Tuesday and snow would fall in parts of the two states. , Sections of the country, which just a week ago suffered severe crop losses due to frost, reveled in balmy weather with temperatures reaching into the low 70s. In Florida last week about onethird of the huge tomato crop was damaged by a hard frost which also inflicted losses on citrus growers. Tuesday the thermometer at Tampa, Fla., soared to 71. Other high temperatures were 55 at Rapid City, S.D., and 64 at St. Louis, Mo. Corpus Christi ■ and Brownsville, Tex., had read- ■ ings of 66 early today. Rain fell in the West. Tucson, Ariz., had .61 inches in a 24-hour period, Reno, Nev., a half inch, and Phoenix, Ariz., .32 inches. Hoquiam in southern Washington reported .15 inches in a sixhour period. It was not all warmth and water, however.
