Optimism Voiced On Dock Strike End

By WESLEY G. PIPPERT United Press International A presidential board held optimism today for a quick settlement of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast dock strike. New York and Cleveland remained without regular newspapers, and a transit strike in Philadelphia went into its fourth day. Across the nation, more than 100,000 workers were iC-'=d by an outbreak of labor troubles. Nearly every part of the land felt the effects. Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., head of President Kennedy's panel and a former mediator, said he planned to meet separately today with the New York Shinning Association and the International Longshoremen’s Association. Morse said he thought there had been “considerable progress" j in the lengthy dispute which erupted into a walkout 26 days ago. The longshoremen are asking a 55-cent wage increase and have been offered a 23-cent hourly package. Awaiting Word New Orleans, La., Mayor Victor Schiro said he and 11 other; Gulf port mayors were awaiting word from Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel P. Moynihan whether to go to Washington to participate in the talks. Banana handler locals in New Orleans continued unloading ships despite attempts by union attorneys to have a federal court back-to-work order stayed. U.S. Dist. Judge Frank B. Ellis granted the injunction after the National Labor Relations Board said the unions should be ordered to fulfill terms of an unsigned contract. Longshoremen in Port Everglades, Fla., put aside their strike and loaded 868 tons of ransom supplies aboard the freighter S.S. Shirley Lykes to pay Fidel Castro for the freedom of Bay of Pigs prisoners. No new negotiations were scheduled in New York between striking printers and the publishers of nine metropolitan dailies. Talks between the two principal parties broke off Thursday in the 42-day-old strike. Try Another Meeting Federal mediators said they would be in touch with both the

Negotiations were to continue today at Cleveland between 4he American Newspaper Guild and the Press and Plain Dealer publishers. With the strike in its eighth week, talks failed again Thursday. The guild has been striking one day less than the Teamsters. The Cleveland Record will make its debut Monday. It will , be published five times a week by nine AFL-CIO unions employed at the two newspapers. The Teamsters agreed to handle deliveries.

More than 5.600 workers are idle, and a million Philadelphia riders i are using other means of transportation.

Hodge Will Gain Parole SPRINGFIELD, 111. (UPI) — Orville E. Hodge, a prison disc jockey who once dreamed of being governor, dreamed today of freedom. The one-time Illinois state auditor and playboy who stole $1.5 million of the people’s money, will realize his dream to be free Jan. 31 or shortly thereafter. Jan. 31 is Hodge’s day for parole from Menard State Prison, the Illinois Pardon and Parole Board announced Thursday. “I made it,” exulted the now ailing 58-year-013 former politician. ' » - “I’m thankful to the parole board, the warden and the governor,” Hodge said. Gov. Otto Kerner commuted Hodge’s 12-15 year sentence to 10 years last month. The board said the date of Hodge’s parole coincides with the effective date of a conditional release granted by federal parole authorities on concurrent federal sentences. Hodge was convicted in 1956 for one of the largest embezzlement schemes in the history of state government. Through an elaborate system involving phony state warrants and padded expense accounts, Hodge financed a freeliving way of life that made him one of the most popular men in Springfield. , He threw hunting parties for celebrities, gave lavish gifts to friends and owned a luxurious home on Lake Springfield. His high living ended when Chicago Daily News reporter George Thiem began digging into Hodge’s accounts. Thiem broke the story, which later won a Pulitzer Prize, and Gov. William Stratton forced Hodge to resign. While in prison, Hodge has helped run the prison radio station, taught a heavy equipment school, - done audio-visual work in the psychiatric division, and become assistant to Lutheran chaplain Rev. Eric Cash. William Fuiten, one of Hodge's attorneys, said Hodge plans to work in a hardware store owned by his sister, Mrs. Bess Henley, in Granite City, 81. He will live at his sister’s home. Assistant Warden Stanley Macieiski said he understood Hodge planned to check into a hospital for medical treatment of ulcers and a kidney malfunction. Kerner said he granted the commutation because ot Hodge’s -jHness.

"The Young American, like all of-the new 1963 National homes, is available in a wide variety of exterior designs in mantenance-free Viking aluminum siding.

For the fitts feeding, dilute the hot liquid with the cold, and it will be the correct temperature. For the second feeding, the formula in the vacuum bottle should be just the right temperature. ;

Conduct Hearing On Daviess School Plan INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana School Reorganization Commission opened an exploratory meeting on Daviess County Thursday with two plans and closed with three. Eight Daviess County residents attended the meeting at which Dr. Dean Berkley, Indiana University, and Dr. Merle Strom, Ball State, outlined reasons; bhek of their recommendation' in favor of a two-unit plan divided by an eastwest line. Several of the Daviess County delegation spoke in behalf of a north-south division and out of the pro-and-con discussion came a proposal by Berkley and Strom that a one-unit plan might be best. The commission went to Daviess last year to draw up a plan after the deadline had passed for such a plan to be offered on local initiative. The commission sent a four-man team to Daviess to draw up the tentative plan. Berkley and Strom, two members of the team, stressed they did not necessarily feel the plan they offered was the best and that the door was open tc ether plans.

no member of the commission appears to have made up his mind” on which plan to recommend. The commission will vote later on the issue. However, the commission voted Thursday in favor of a two-unit plan the Carroll County reorganization committee has proposed. The Daviess County delegation included the county school superintendent, James Beasley, and John F. Berry, Hubert T. McCann, Walter O’Callahan, I. R. York, George Barber, Roy Stuffle, and Mrs. Howard Wilson. The discussion brought out since Berkley and Strom were in Daviess County to draw up their plan, the valuation of property has dropped $6.4 million, a new lake was scheduled for construction, and several other factors had changed. Berkley said the “ethnic pattern” of Daviess in relation to its population of Amish works out best on the east-west plan, the roads are better, the school population is more evenly divided, the property base adequate, and the tendency toward dropouts would be less. "The Amish are a far greater problem than has come out here today,” Berkley pointed out. Everyone agreed that “the people of Daviess County will have a chance to make a choice.”

Second Highest Flight By Xls EDWARDS AFB, Calif. (UPI) — Chief space agency pilot Joe Walker shot the Xls rocket ship 51 miles into space Thursday in the second highest flight ever made by a winged aircraft. Walker’s flight to 270,000 feet was only nine miles below the Xls’s world airplane altitude record of nearly 60 miles, set last year by Air Force Maj. Bob White. His near-record climb also virtually proved a new method of gaining more control for re-entry from space by removing the Xls’s lower tail fin. “It was e major step toward much higher Hights into space,” the veteran research pilot said after streaking the “manned missile” 3,716 miles an hour —more than a mile a second. The previous second-highest mark was nearly 47 miles, held by Walker and White. Walker also is the world’- fastest flying aircraft pilot, having flashed the Xls to a record 4,195 m.p.h. During Thursday’s soaring flight Walker experienced weightless - ness for two to three minutes as the Xls shot “over the top” in a ballistic arc. His body also was

subjected to five times the force of gravity. The test was the most advanced to date in a series to confirm the belief of space scientists that elimination of the lower tail fi provides greater stability for returning from space. The lower fin provides greater stability for was designed, ironically, to increase stability. JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES KINGDOM HALL Corner Monroe and Ninth Sunday 3:00 p.m.: "Faith Heat ing.
