Russian Leader Eases Pressure

BERLIN (UPD—Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev eased pressure on the West today for a German peace treaty and evacuation of Berlin. At the same time he indirectly denounced the warlike theories of Red China. In a two-hour, 35-minute address to the East German Communist party congress in East Berlin, the Soviet leader warned there can be no East-West disarmament agreement until the Berlin and German issues are settled. But he refrained from any new ultimatum or deadline to the West **» V - Khrushchev added a grim note when be said the United-States “now has roughly 40,000 hydrogen bombs and warheads." He said the Soviet Union also “has more than enough of this stuff.” Has Biggest Bomb But he said the Soviet Union has the biggest bomb of all —a 100-megaton nuclear bomb — and implied it would be used only on the United States if necessary. “Such a bomb should not be used in Europe,” he said. “Such measures could only be used outside Western Europe.” He called for a peaceful solution to East-West problems, saying “We do not want a kingdom in heaven—we want a beautiful empire cm earth.” “For that reason we act with a sense of responsibility. We do not want war. But if one is forced on us, we shall hit back.” Khrushchev clearly disappointed his East German audience by his treatment of the West Berlin problem and by the fact he obviUpholds Suspension Os Driver's License Judge hlyles V.' Parrish of the Adams circuit court found for the defendant Tuesday, in the case of Sidney Schwartz vs Allen Nutting, commissioner of the bureau of motor vehicles of Indiana. Schwartz had filed a petition for a review after Arthur Muselman, Berne justice of the peace, had recommended his license be suspended for 180 days, on a recent speeding charge. Judge Parrish, however, found for the defendant. Nutting, and the bureau, and ordered the “plaintiff shall take nothing from the defendant byway of his complaint, and thgt the commissioner’s order of license suspension is upheld and sustained by this court.” Schwartz had claimed an error of law since he received no notice of the upcoming revocation, and since he received no hearing on the matter from the bureau of motor vehicles. Has Authority Judge Parrish, in handing down his findings, explained that by law a justice of the peace has the authority to recommend a license suspension of no more than one year and that there is no law that requires the bureau of motor .vehicles to notify someone of the intent to revoke a license. Since the suspension was not due to a matter of points on Schwartz’ driving record, rather, for a speeding charge, the bureau does not need hold a hearing on the suspension. The Judge explained ’that' .“the use of a driver's license tea privy lege, and not. a right ferjaw, and thereby the bureau need not give notice of Taking away that privilege.”

ously has put it on ice for the time being. He paid lip service to the idea of a German peace treaty but made it clear he would take no steps against the Western position. No Ultimatum, Deadline There was little difference today from what he had told East German Communists in the same hall four years ago—except that this time there was no ultimatum and no deadline. He said the position of Communist East Germany had been greatly strengthened in the meantime, particularly by construction of the wan between West and East Berlin. Khrushchev said Russia does not want to change the present frontiers in Europe under a peace treaty. This was a clear indication she would insist on maintaining the present Oder-Neisse frontier between Germany and Poland. Most of the latter part of his speech was devoted to blasting Red China for its belief that war with the West is inevitable. However, he did not once mention China by name but directed his attacks instead against Peking’s tiny European satellite Albania. “Halt to Polemics” But toward the end of his speech, Khrushchev urged a “halt to polemics between Communist parties, to ... allow some time for the passions to subside.” The Soviet leader flatly turned down the recent Peking call for a meeting of the world’s Communist parties. “Such a meeting,” he said, “would lead, not to a calm and judicious removal of differences, but to their aggravation and to the danger of a split.” Hsiumlchan listened stony faced throughout the speech. He did not applaud once. Khrushchev made these other main points: —The United States no longer has the edge over Russia in nuclear power or missiles, but EastWest differences can only be settled by peaceful means and not by nuclear world war. —Russia has no intention of launching a preventive war of aggression. But she will hit back if she is attacked. —Russia withdrew her missiles from Cuba in order to save the world from threatened thermonuclear war. But the missiles can be Used elsewhere. —ln the first hour of a nuclear conflict West Germany would go up in flames. —The “misuse” of West Berlin by the West is increasing international tension. —The policy of peaceful coexistence is even more urgent today than when it was first announced."

Republican Legislators Take Reapportionment Os State Into House Today

Mark Morin's Nan* Struck From Panel Mark A. Morin has been struck from the three-lawyer panel for selecting a special judge to hear the Decatur ‘‘junk yard” case, it was learned this morning from city court Judge John B. Stutts. Robert Smith, representing Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Gallogly and Edward T. Imel, struck the name of Morin, leaving David A. Macklin and John L. De Voss as the remaining two on the panel. Robert S. Anderson, city attorney acting on three affidavits signed by Miss Eleanor Wemhoff, an Eighth St. resident, will now strike a second name. The third, and remaining, lawyer on the panel, will then serve as special judge in the case, if he qualifies. The action began some months ago when Smith filed for a change of judge in the case which had been before Judge Stults in city court. After the filing for change of judge, Judge Stults established a panel of three local attorneys. Sullivan Disqualifies The attorneys were given ten days to agree on one of the three which they failed to do. The striking process then began, and the names of Hubert R. McClenahan and Lewis L. Smith were struck, leaving Richard J. Sullivan. Sullivan, however, disqualified himself due to the fact that he has represented Gallogly in previous matters, and was handling some affairs for Gallogly at the time. With the disqualification of Sullivan, Judge Stults then had to name a new panel, which he did in selecting Morin, and Macklin and DeVoss.

to work out plans for reunification with the rest of the Congo. Tshombe also asked central Premier Cyrille Adoula to sign an> amnesty for Katangese officials, and to come to Elisabethville from Leopoldville for a meeting “to confirm the national reconciliation.” Diplomatic sources in Washington said Adoula had pledged to honor the amnesty under pressure from President Kennedy. An amnesty provision is part of the U.N. plan to reunify the Congo under a federal system. - Graliker Reelected President Os Bank T. F. Graliker was reelected president and G. W.

Citizens Are Given Warning On Mail Fraud WASHINGTON (UPD — Chief postal inspector H.B. Montague warned elderly citizens today that all manner of crooks are out to filch their money with schemes ranging from land fraud to fake youth nostrums. Montague testified before a special Senate committee on aging which is conducting hearings on frauds and quackery affectingolder persons. He said mail fraud is on the increase and ‘‘experience has shown that certain schemes have particular appeal to elderly citizens, many of whom have been victimized by these promotions.” There were 524 convictions for mail fraud during 1962, an increase of 21.6 per cent over the previous year, Montague said. Federal investigators have adopted new techniques to catch these “white collar bandits” but they are still at work in large numbers bilking the public of millions dirt dollars every year, he said* Montague listed these frauds as having particular appeal to the elderly: Advance fee racket: Owners of small businesses are induced to sell property to secure loans they never receive. Vending machine schemes: Swindlers offer part-time employment for persons wanting to supplement family income. The victim is induced to buy the machine that brings him no money in return. Sewing machine promotions: Housewives are talked into buying machines at excessive cost to make money at home making garments. Land frauds: Retired persons are sold worthless lots as far away as Brazil through beautifully illustrated brochures sent through the mail. Medical frauds: Elderly persons are sold nostrums advertised to restore youth. Local Man's Mother Dies At Fort Wayne Mrs. Myrtle E.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndiana Republican lawmakers took their fight for legislative reapportionment by the constitutional amendment method to the House today after absorbing a setback on the issue in the Senate Tuesday. Rep. Edward Madinger, R-Indi-anapolis, introduced a resolution for a constitutional amendment removing two-term restrictions on county sheriffs, and it was referred to the House Rules Committee. This is the first step necessary to pave the way for introduction of a reapportionment amendment. Rep. Robert L. Rock, D-Ander-son, House minority leader, said the Democrats will protest any action in the House while the issue is pending in the Senate. If the party bloc of 44 votes is anyways near solid, then the Democrats could block the death of the sheriff amendment just as they did in the Senate Tuesday. The GOP lost four of its slim 25-membership majority and gained not a single Democrat. Jubilant Democrats readied their reapportionment plan which does not require a constitutional amendment and indicated that once their plan is introduced, they might help clear the way for constitutional amendment resolutions to be introduced. However, one contingent of the GOP leadership had argued from the beginning that the House was the logical place to present the blocking resolution. Tuesday’s Senate Vote reinforced, their stand. Indications now are that the House, whose GOP majority reaffirmed its backing of the Republican reapportionment plan in a Tuesday afternoon caucus, will be the scene of a second effort. Further Revisions The House Democratic minority also met Tuesday afternoon and made some further revisions in the plan - which Sen. Marshall Kizer, Democratic minority leader, hopes to introduce yet this week. Under normal legislative procedures, the soonest the GOP plan can be introduced is the middle of next week. Kizer quite frankly has diverged from the Democratic platform position of insisting on reapportionment on the basis of population only in both houses, as provided by the Constitution. Die plan on which Democratic leaders now are working, and which Sen. Russell Bontrager, Republican president pro tern, said seemed somewhat close to the GOP plan, calls for a House based on population and a Senate on geography and population. However, the GOP plan calls for 60 senators, the Democrat plan for 50. Both would give Marion 6 senators, Lake 4, St. Joseph 2 and Allen 2. The Democrat “compromise” plan would give one senator each to LaPorte, Elkhart, Delaware and Vigo, while the GOP plan would give one each to Elkhart, Delaware, Madison, Vigo and Vanderburgh. All other counties in the GOP plan would be two-county combinations except Dearborn, Ohio and Switzerland, which would be combined in one district. In the Democrat plan, Vanderburgh and Warrick would be linked in one district with 2 senators; Madison, Hancock and Henry in one district with 2, and all others would be districts of two or three counties with one senator each, except Ripley, Dearborn, Ohio and Switzerland would be Combined as one district with one senator. ■ Working Draft The House Democrats made about 9 or 10 changes in the “working draft” offered by Dr. Karl O’Lessker, Wabash College professor, for the House districts. Two changes would cut St. Joseph and Allen down from an originally proposed 5 representatives each to 4 each. Other changes were in the counties linked in one district. The House Ways and Means Committee Tuesday afternoon began work on its own version of a “balanced” state operating budget, leaving Governor Welsh’s budget unintroduced. The House Democrats wouldn't introduce Welsh's budget without Republican sponsorship, and the GOP leadership wouldn’t agree to sponsor it. Chairman John F. Cqppes, RNappanec/Ysaid the committee’s budget would later -befor some bill before the group and (Continued on Page Six;

To Study Daviess County School Plan INDIANAPOLIS (UPD -The Indiana School Reorganization Commission Thursday will hear the pros and cons of plans for the first county in which the commission stepped in to act when local officials did not. This is Daviess County, where a four-member team of experts made a study at the state commission’s request and prepared a plan dividing the county on an east-west basis. Since then, local school people have offered a north-south plan. Dr. J. B. Kohlmeyer, director of the commission, said the commission was not committed to the plan offered by the four-member team, but was open to any acceptable plan which meets minimum standards. Two men who helped prepare the east-west plan are expected to attend the meeting and discuss with the Daviess County ddegation their reasons for the plan they offered. They are Dr. Dean Berkley, Indiana University, and Dr. Merle Strom, Ball State Teachers College.
