ocratic rulers of tempestuous Lake County then frowned on his bid. Since that time there have been numerous political scandals resulting in the dethronement of the party chiefs who turned him down. Republican Sen. George Diener, Indianapolis, is only a freshman in the upper house. He once bossed the House as speaker for two sessions. Quite a comedown, but Diener is taking it in his stride. The women around the legislature say that freshman Sen. Keith C. McCormick, Lebanon Republican and realty and insurance man, is one of the most handsome lawmakers. Democratic Sen. Robert E. Peterson, Rochester, likewise has been praised for his looks. What the Democrats facetiously call the “Poor Man’s Ev and Charlie Show” will be held today following the address by Governor Welsh. The allusion is to the national GOP television program staged weekly by Everett Dirksen, Senate GOP majority leader, and Rep. Charles A. Halleck, House Republican floor leader, in Washington. The four Republican leaders of the Indiana Senate and House, plus Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, will hold a news conference to assail the remarks of the governor. — All in the interests of publicity. & V The current legislative session is receiving more attention from television and radio newsmen than ever before. They are welcomed heartily by all lawmakers. Putnam County Man Wins Sweepstakes LAFAYETTE, Ind.

Last Two Os . Bandit Gang Are Sentenced CHICAGO (UPD—The last two members of a sadistic bandit gang were sentenced to up to 100 years in prison Wednesday and the judge said he “hoped, indeed prayed” they never would be paroled. Sixty to 100 year sentences were given to Frank Yonder, 23, a hairdresser who doubled as a torture specialist, and Nick Guido, 43, reputed leader of a now-shat-tered gang that terrorized wealthy suburban families on Chicago’s North Side. Another member of the gang, Alex Wallace, 28, was sentenced to 33 to 55 years’last August for murder in the Chicago area’s first gangland slaying sentencing since prohibition days. As Yonder, who spotted wouldbe victims during his working hours in a fashionable North Side salon, was being led from Criminal Court after the sentencing, he attacked and threatened a police lieutenant. Threatens Death He grabbed Lt. Edward J. King around the neck, attempted to grab his ,38-caliber pistol and screamed, “now I’m going to kill you.” King received a gash across his temple when his head was slammed against the bars of the cell. Twenty accompanying policemen quickly subdued Yonder. “It is my hope and prayer that these defendants serve their sentence, contributing to the safety and security of the community,” Judge Joseph J. Butler said. “It is also my hope and prayer that the Pardon and Parole Board may see these men for what they are — depraved, depraved, depraved,” Butler said. One of the persons in the courtroom was Mrs. Patricia Guido, 26, pretty, raven-haired wife of Guido who was the key witness for the state during their trial. A jury found Guido and Yonder guilty of armed robbery Jan. 9 for raiding the C- Laury Botthof home in New Trier Township May 28. The gang took $7,500 in jewelry and $275 in cash. Police said Yonder burned Mrs. Botthoff with cigarettes, poked his thumb in her husband’s eyes almost causing loss of vision in one of tteetn and subjected them to other abuse. Estimate Quarter Million Police estimated the gang robbed various homes of $250,000 in valuables- and money. Mrs. Guido- testified she drove the car during some of the robberies. Mrs. Guido was seized in the backyard of her Aurora home last summer while she was digging up a can in the moonlight! Police said it contained keys and names, apparently for future homes to invade. A short time later, Guido and Yonder were arrested in Michigan on a traffic violation. A check of their fingerprints revealed they were wanted for the Chicago crimes. Police believed that while Yonder coiffed wealthy ladies, Leo Johnson, 22, another gang member and a parking attendant at the same beauty parlor, made duplicates qt. their house keys. Johnson was found killed June 1, and police believe the gang did it. Wallace was sentenced for shooting Herbert Kwate, another gang member who police theorized “knew too much.” General Electric 78; General Motors, 60%; Gulf Oil, 40; Standard Oil Ind., 49%; Standard Oil N. J., 59%; U. S. Steel, 45%.
Winter Relents In Southern Indiana By United Press International Below-normal temperatures remained today in upstate areas of Indiana, but winter relented in the south. Continuing a recent pattern of up to 25 or more degrees variance between readings along the Ohio River and those around Lake Michigan, the weather dealt South Bend a low of 7 above zero this morning while Evansville’s minimum was 16. The greatest variance was at high points Wednesday when a moderate 45 was recorded at Evansville, 31 degrees warmer than South Bend’s top temperature of 14 above. Highs today will range from 25 to 34 north in a significant warmup, and it will climb to around 50 in the south. But Friday the top in the north will drop to near 20 and the maximum in the south will advance to the mid 50s. Lows tonight will be somewhat warmer all around—lß to 25 north, in the 30s south. Get ready for some precipitation. the weatherman said. There’ls a chance of some snow north tonight and flurries Friday. Showers were considered likely central and south Friday. On Saturday, it will turn cooler south and there will be snow north and snow mixed with rain elsewhere. ■ - :■ ’
GOP Attacks Record Budget Os President WASHINGTON (UPD — Republicans today attacked President Kennedy’s record budget for fiscal 1964 as incredible, radical, cynical and illusionary. They deplored its large deficit. Democrats hailed Kennedy’s provision for increased defense and space funds but many were cautious in their over-all appraisals and suggested that cuts in spending should be made. House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck of Indiana said the budget made “a mockery of the administration’s brave talk of letting the taxpayer keep more of his own money through tax reduction.” “What the taxpayer thinks he will save will be taken away from him either by so-called ‘tax reform’ or by an increase in the cost of living,” Halleck said. “Either way, the taxpayer looks like a sure loser in the end,” Chairman Harry F. Byrd, D-Va., of the Senate Finance Committee said Kennedy’s estimated savings were “questionable.” Byrd said that if Congress went along with the President’s proposed tax cut, the deficit would approach sl4 billion. Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois said the spending blueprint was “incredible.” He said Kennedy was advocating the “puzzling" theory” that the bigger the deficit, the better. “In other words,” he said, “the best way to correct mistakes is to make bigger ones.” Sen. Wallace F. Bennett, RUtah, called it a “cynical budget tailored §o it won’t cross the SIOO

billion mark.” He said it meant Kennedy -had abandoned the thought of a balanced budget for his term of office. Sen. Paul H. Douglas, D-111., said: “The budgeted increases are due almost entirely 'to the space and national defense expenditures. But there are lines, as in every budget, in which economies can be introduced and there are tax loopholes that can be plugged.” Rep. John W. Byrnes, R-Wis„ senior Republican member of the tax-writing House Ways & Means Committee, said: “The President’s budget can only be termed a radical proposal. It proposes one of the largest peacetime deficits in our history during a time of general prosperity.”
