Governor Approves Third Youth Camp
INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Welsh has approved establishment of a third youth rehabilitation camp, to be located at Chain O’Lakes state park, after receiving a report showing* the first two such camps proved their value during their first year of existence. The third camp, to which honor inmates from the State Reformatory will be assigned., is expected to be constructed by mid-1963. The construction costs will be covered by $20,000 remaining in a fund appropriated for such facilities by the 1961 Legislature, plus money from Welsh’s contingency fund. However, the operation of -this Chain O’Lakes camp, plus that of camps established in 1961 at Clark County State Forest and Rockville, and a fourth camp not yet picked, will depend on additional funds provided by the 1963 Legislature. Under the 1961 law, selected inmates at the Indiana Boys’ School and the Reformatory were reassigned to camps for work on State Department of Conservation projects. Camps Hailed The first two camps were opened in November, 1961. They were hailed as an effort to “utilize youthful law-breakers in a program to prevent juvenile delinquency.” The bulk of- the work done by the penal inmates was on camp sites for other youths and for families in state parks and recreational properties. The Boys at Clark on the grounds at Muscatatupft State Park and a recreation area at Clark. The Reformatory inmates stationed at Rockville worked on the
18 Killed In Train Wreck In England LIVERPOOL, England (UPD— Rescue teams struggling in snow and bitter cold laid -aside toys and Christmas wrappings today in their efforts to free the last victims from a holiday train collision that was the British Railways’ worst accident in five years.

facilities and grounds at Turkey Run, Shades and Raccoon State Parks. This helped others, but in addition, the program has helped the workers, according to the progress report presented to Welsh covering the first year of operation. The report by Correction Commissioner Arthur Campbell stated that “a total of 306 men and boys have been transferred to the camping program. Os this total 115 were transferred to the camp at Rockville and 191 to Henryville." Few Returned Jacque Leßoy, director of the Governor's Youth Council, said the percentage of camp participants who were returned to institutions was “less than 6 per cent, compared to in excess of 50 per cent for the other penal institutions.” “These boys get the feeling they are making a contribution to society,” Leßoy said. “Once they get this concept that they have an obligation to society, they have gone a long way toward rehabilitation.” The progress report listed four steps which were urged for greater improvement of the camping plan. They were mainly aimed at improving the rehabilitation aspects of the camps for the inmates: —lnitiate a program of group counseling. —lnstitute a craft and hobby program. —Provide more recreational facilities. —Offer a limited educational program for boys who have not completed high school.

Report Operations Os FBI Increased WASHINGTON (UPD — The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported today that its operations led to increased convictions, arrests and recovery of stolen money. during ..1962,.. : In a year-end report, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover also said agents had to deal with a sharp increase in bank robberies and civil rights investigations. Hoover said tabulations for the year showed more than 12,700 convictions in FBI cases compared with 12,418 in 1961; arrest of 11,400 fugitives wanted by the FBI compared* with 10,668 last year; and fines, savings and recoveries totaling more than S2OO million compared with $l4B million in 1961. In citing crime problems confronting the FBI, Hoover said there was an increase of approximately2s’ per cent in bank robbery violations. Hoover cited the FBl’s accomplishments in the field of domestic intelligence, including seizure of a cache of explosives and arrest of three pro - Castro Cubans on sabotage conspiracy charges in New York- last ’ month. The FBI director said information. gathered by his agency led to the conviction of the Communist Party earlier this month on a charge of failing to register with the attorney general under the .Internal Security Law.
Chinese Reds Report Pad With Pakistan TOKYO (UPD ( — Communist China today made friendly moves cn its borders with Pakistan, India, and Outer Mongolia. In New China News Agency reports 'monitored here, it announced "complete agreement in principle” ch its frontiers with Pakistan; hailed its new border treaty with Outer Mongolia, the Soviet satellite in central Asia; and reported new troops withdrawals along the Indian border. The agreement with Pakistan was announced just before the start of talks between Pakistan and India on the Kashmir dispute. Its effect was immediate. An Indian source at the negotiations in Rawalpindi expressed regret over the agreement and indicated it would hamper the talks since the border fixed by China and Pakistan includes the part of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan. Peking coupled the announcements with new appeals to India to come to terms on the border dispute. India thus far has refused to negotiate on Chinese terms, because they call for continued Chinese occupation of large areas of territory claimed by India.

Kashmir Question May Be Settled
By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst It was on Nov. 2, 1947, that Prime Minister Nehru of India announced that “We have declared that the fate of Kashmir is ultimately to be decided by the people.. . We are prepared when peace, law and order have been established, to have a referendum held under international auspices like the United Nations.” It was d high-sounding pronouncement but it was not to be, Indian troops already were in Kashmir, sent there to put down a pro-Pakistan uprising. At first clandestinely, then openly, the troops of Pakistan also were moving up and soon Kashmir was divided, about onejhird to Pakistan in the west and north and the remaining two-thirds to India. And that way it has remained for the last 15 years, with the threat of a major clash between Pakistan and India always a possibility. When the Red Chinese lunged across the McMahon Line in a major attack on India, they brought Nehru face-to-face with the Kashmir problem again for thousands of his best troops were tied up guarding the cease-fire line with Pakistan. * A negotiated settlement began to look more attractive. Pakistan, uneasy and angered at the flow of Western arms coming to the assistance of Nehru

against the Red Chinese, also became more amenable to negotiations for in the end both face the possibility of a common enemy. For Nehru to agree under United States and British pressures to the negotiations, w a s a reasonably simple decision. At the worst, the situation would be unchanged. At the best he would free important forces for his defenses against China. For Pakistani President Mohammad Ayub Khan the decision was mose complicated. Since the lifting of martial law in Pakistan last spring and the revival of politicaf parties, Ayub’s opponents have become increasingly vocal. \. They have used the shipment of U.S. arms to India as a springboard to demand that Pakistan abandon its Western treaties and they have attacked Ayub for agreeing to the negotiations with advance assurances that Pakistan would receive at least a part of the two-thirds of Kashmir now held by India. In Karachi and Pakistan’s new capital of Rwalpindi there is a mounting opinion that Ayub now has put his career on the line. And that failure in these negotiations could bring about his downfall. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good, and out of the Chinese attack on India may at last come a settlement of the Kashmir question. . — J
