DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT Published Every Evening Except Sunday by THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT CO., INC. Catered at the Decatur. Ind., Post Office a* Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller, Jr ---- John G. Heller Vied President Chas. Holtbouse Secretary-Treasurer A Happy New Year There will be a Happy New Year in Iran .for at least a handful of the surviving victims of the devastating earthquake last September. Seventy quake-proof houses are arising in the small village of Esmatabad, Iran —the first of thiee hundred new homes being built for 1,500 villagers who were left homeless by the disaster. By the first of the new year, about fifty families will be happily sheltered in the structures. Completion of the homes marks the first step in a total village restoration partially underwritten by Protestant and Eastern Orthodox churches in the United States through Church World Service and the World Council of Churches. Constructed of pre-cast concrete blocks secured in inter-locking frames at ground and roof levels, the new houses are the answer to the villagers request: “Build us homes that will not collapse in quakes.” In last September’s tremor, 95% of the homes in the village were demolished, and 43 people were killed. The villagers lost all their including household goods, farm animals and equipment. Survivors owe their lives to the fact that unseasonably hot September weather had induced them to sleep on their roofs. Their houses collappased beneath them, rather than on them. An estimated 11,300 less fortunate Iranians elsewhere in the country were crushed beneath the massive mud brick walls of their home. - v The houses in rebuilt Esmatabad are being constructed semi-detached, each with its own yard, \ garden, barn, stable and latrine. Each residence will cost about $l,OlO. The villagers are building their own compound walls, barns and stables of mud bricks salvaged from the old village. Included in the new village are a school for boys one for girls, a community center, a bath house and laundry facilities, and a dispensary. The village will obtain drinking water from a deep well, equipped with turbine pump and powered by diesel engine. The water will be piped to all parts of the village, with each 12 houses sharing a standpipe and a watering trough for animals. The people have elected their own village council, and the six villagers chosen have been conducting the business of the community as the new village is being built. It should be completed by next October. The contributions of our churc hes and church people, through One Great Hour of Sharing, Share Our Surplus, CROP, and other similar pro- , grams, have made possible the rebuilding the'villdge. Olher similiar of Lutheran/ Catholic, and Evangelical churches have done similar work in other areas of Iran. The great Christian task of rebuilding the world is still going‘on.

1962 Year Os Big Space Program Lift

(EDITOR’S NOTE — Behind America’* firm stance over Cuba was the firm knowledge that the “missile gap” was now Russia’s liability, not ours. In the following dispatch, second of a serie*, a veteran space reporter describes the real strength*! UJB. rocketry and its meaning tn the cold war.) By ALVIN B. WEBB JR. United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL (UPD — At the close of 1962, America’s bargaining and battling position in world affairs was firmly anchored to some 400 war-ready missiles capable of- furling the nuclear equivalent of more than 1 billion tons of TNT into the heart of Russia. From land-based Atlas and underground Titan and. Minuteman missiles to seagoing Polaris rockets and “close-up” Thors and Jupiters, it is by all means of reckoning the most devastating striking force ever built. And when the more than 1,500 U.S. heavy and medium jet bombers — each carrying nuclear payloads — are thrown in, the sum of potential destruction becomes awesome indeed. v These are the highpowered chips that enabled President John F. Kennedy to call Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s , hand in the Cuban crisis. This is the global striking force that physicist Ralph E. Lapp, in a more critical vein, said could “overkill the Soviet Union at least 25 times.” Lapp pleaded for an end to the nuclear stockpiling, but got few listeners. To the contrary, the U.S. atomic firepower at the end of 1963 may well be twice as great as it is today. While many missiles already are “operational,” newer ones — some of them bigger than ever — are under development. v t Pivotal Year The year 1962 was a pivotal one for America’s missile force. After long and sometimes agonizing years of tests, some of the more familiar ones — notably the Atlas and Titan \I intercontinental ballistic.missiles — were declared operational and loaded for bear. These are the so-called “city busters” — the giants that can fly 6,300 miles and? even 9,000 miles with nuclear payloads to deliver devastation equal to 3 million tons of TNT or better per rocket. Another even mightier “city buster,'*’ the thunderous Titan 2, came on the scene in 1962. It is by far The' single nuclear-carrying missile in the U.S. arsenal, and it will be ready for duty in 1963. , But by and large, the American trend is away from the rocket with the big bang and toward missiles with smaller warheads but other more desirable attributes s.uch as mobility, high degree of concealment and near-in-stantaneous firing. •Theoretically, the entire U. S. nuclear force could be unleashed on 15 minutes’ notice. But as the year ended, about a dozen of the new Minuteman “Instant ICBM” ’rockets with nuclear warheads •los'*’ iif' Mbntana t3“’UT fired with just 32 seconds of warning. On Short End The extent of the Soviet missile force is still a matter of speculation at best, since the only reports considered reliable are compiled by the U.S?* Central Intelligence Agency, and the CIA compilations have been notoriously unreliable in the past. .But if thtPre is a “missile gap” now, it would appear that Russia is caught on the short end of it. According to one report, the rockets that the Soviets have to rattle include no more than 75 or so ICBMs capable of reaching the U.S. mainland. Russia apparently has upwards of 400 rockets in the 1,000-1,500-mile range aimed at targets in Europe and Asia. The Soviet Union, which a decade and a half ago hinged its military force to the ballistic missile in lieu of the long-range bomber, apparently still Jags bad-

ly in the latter department. The Russians are given credit for no more bombers that might reach the United States. But a series of heavyweight nuclear tests and new rocket shots in 1962 indicated Soviet experts are shooting for the development of missiles capable pf carrying huge warheads, in the 50-megaton range or better, and others for Polaris-type submerged launchings.

Grim Statistics On U. S. Traffic Toll By United Press International The National Safety Council today estimated that from 420 to 480 persons may die on the nation’s highways during the dangerous four-day New Year’s weekend beginning’Friday evening. The safety council also said the nation is certain to end 1962 with more than 40.000 highway deaths — the worst year on record. The grim statistics were disclosed as the four-day Christmas holiday weekend ended with the second highest traffic toll on record. The death toll, which had been running at the safest pace ever for a Christmas holiday, rocketed as motorists by the millions returned home Jrom holiday visits. The final United Press International count showed 654 persons killed in traffic during the 102hour period from 6 p.m. Friday to midnight Christmas. : ' Alaska, New Hampshire and Wyoming were the only states to report no traffic deaths. The Safety Council estimated from 18,00 to 21,000 persons would be seriously injured in New Year’s holiday traffic mishaps. Blasi Rocks Gary Shopping Center GARY, Ind. (UPD—A series of explosions rocked a shopping center in mid-town Gary today during .the second major fire here in less than 24 hours. The explosions at a cleaning plant were apparently caused by heat * and flames. Fire swepi through the plant where highly combustible fluids were stewed. ■ There- no , immediate .. esR-. mate of the damage, .but. Bonnie Cleaners was destroyed. Cause of the blaze was not determined immediately. Three of firemen battled the flames in’sub-freezing temperautres. Firemen fought to contain the blaze which threatened other stores. No injuries were reported. Bonnie Cleaners was located about 14 blocks south of the first fire, which raged through a block long section of the business district and caused .an estimated $500,000 in damage. f; ./Moderrr E . I By Roberta Lee I Q. How does a married woman’s manner of signing her name to a formal letter differ from her signing of a hotel register? A. In a formal letter she signs her name “Anne S.

Bayh Victory Top Political Event Os Year CADOU’S COLUMN By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The stunning loss of veteran Republican Sen. Homer E. Capehart to youthful Birch E. Bayh was the most important political event in Indiana during 1962. The Bayh victory gave the Democrats both Hoosier Senate seats for the first time since Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in the White House. It was to a large extent a triumph of television imagery of youth plus a catchy campaign jingle and unprecedented hard work over experience and old-age fatigue. In the Democratic success background likewise was President Kennedy’s brinkmanship policy that bested Russia in the Cuban crisis. The old pitcher, with its cracks of 18 years of service, went to the well once too often. The GOP two years ago was battered by the win of Democratic Governor Welsh, which meant the loss of the lucrative Statehouse patronage and kept the Republicans deep in a financial hole. Congress Unchanged There was little comfort for the GOP in retention of the congressional lineup of seven Republicans and four Democrats, especially since GOP Supreme Court Justice Arch N. Bobbitt failed to be reetected and Alvin C. Cast, Kentland Republican, lost to Supt. of Public Instruction William Wilson, Democrat. Other minor GOP state officials, however, were reelected. The Republicans changed the guard after the election with H. Dale Brown, 11th District chairman, succeeding Thomas A. Gallmeyer, Fort - Wayne, as state chairman. J. Manfred Core, Sandborn, Democratic state chairman, retained his post. It will be hard Mr Chairman Brown to go anywhere: but up. lie faces, the 1963 municipal elections with only ope GOP mayor ip the 25 largest Hoosier cities. He is Kokomo Mayor John W. Miller, president of the Indiana' Municipal League. Democrats likewise predominate in the smaller city halls of the state. Like the albatross of yore, the party deficit still hangs about the neck of the GOP jvhile frgsh funds are needed for ’ the city elec, tiori • struggles-. Legislature Awry Another depressing factor is the liheup of 25 Republicans and 24 Democrats in the coming session of the State Senate, which means that it will be necessary to enlist one Democratic vote to pass any GOP bill because''a constitutional vote of 26 is needed. Also, the 1961 Republican majority in the House has been whittled down. The ,GOP slump is worrying many ambitious party chiefs who seek higher offices. It affects the senatorial hopes of State Sen.. D. Russell Bontrager, Elkhart, and the gubernatorial yearnings of .Lt. Gov. Richard Ch. Ristine. as well as the apparent desire to be lieutenant governor attributed to Secretary of State Charles O. Hendricks, State Treasurer Robert Hughes and Robert Gates, Columbia City, former American Legion state commander and son of former Gov. Ralph F. Gates. It is hard to believe that Indiana two years ago gave President Kennedy his worst per capita drubbing in the nation. The politicos agree that Kennedy will recoup thousands df those hostile votes when he runs again in 1964, but only a handful of observers believe he will- carry the state.

Newspaper Strike Is In Third Week NEW YORK (UPD— The longest, and probably' costliest, newspaper strike in the city's history neared the end of its third week today with talks between printers and publishers on the verge of collapse. Contract negotiations in the dispute that shut down nine newspapers 20 days ago were scheduled to resume today. The disputants remained deadlocked Wednesday despite a plea from the top federal mediator involved for them to modify their positions during a Christmas recess. Stephen Schlossberg, special assistant to the directors of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, obviously was displeased at the stalemate in postholiday talks. He had called off negotiations Saturday with an urgent request that publishers and Local 6 of the International Typographical
