The parents, led by Mrs. Edwin Thalacker, had attempted to get the board to ban class readings of “filthy" and “vulgar” books. They named such books as J.D. Salinger’s "The Catchoer in the Rye." Aldous Huxley's “Brave New World ” George Orwell’s “1984,” John Steinbeck’s “Os Mice and Men;” Fyodor Dostoevsky’s "Crime and Punishment;” and “The Ugly American" by William Lederer and Eugene Burdick. About 450 persons attended a , two-hour meeting which ended i with a terse statement by the.

School Board president, Thomas House, in support of the continued use of the books. “We are 100 per cent behind the teachers and staff of the high school,” House said. "We are no longer living in the age of Longfellow,” said attorney John Rothe. “We can't keep a fence around our children.” The Rev. Wayne Turner, a Roman Catholic priest, disagreed. “Parents have the right to put a fence around their children,” he i said, "and I will back them in | this right!

.. i«i t «. “The parents definitely have a right to object to what their children are being taught,” Father Turner said. “I, a priest, must object to three books on moral grounds—‘The Catcher in the Rye,’ ‘1984,’ and ‘Brave New World'.” A physician, Dr. Victor Falk, told the meeting “Young men have enough ideas of their own without getting any more.” Falk’s wife is a school board member. One woman said the books in question were “demoralizing literature inspired by the Communists.” She said everyone ought to

read J. Edgar Hoover’s "Masters of Deceit” to learn what she was talking about. La Porte Man Is Found Dead In Home LA PORTE, Ind.

GOP Measure Would Reduce City Strength INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Republican - sponsored “Indiana Plan” for legislative reapportionment, introduced today in the Indiana Legislature, would give the state's nine most populous counties less voting strength in the Senate than they now have. Under the GOP plan, which calls for increasing the Senate to 60 members, the counties would have a total of 19 senators. Under the present system, with a 50member Senate, they have 20 votes. The Democratic plan introduced last week, which would retain the present size of the Senate, they also would have 20 senators. The GOP plan, which would make each of the nine counties a separate district, provides 6 senators for Marion County, 4 for Lake, 2 each for St. Joseph and Allen and 1 each for Elkhart, Delaware, Madison, Vigo and Vanderburgh. The Republican plan does not specify the number of House members for each county but directs that the Senate shall reapportion the House every 10 years on a population basis. The remaining counties in the state would be set up in senatorial districts with one senator for each district. There would be 40 twocounty districts and one threecounty district made up of Dearborn, Ohio and Switzerland Counties. . , Two-county districts would be= LaPorte-Starke, Fulton - Cass, Miami-Howard, Kosciusko - Wabash, Whitley-Huntington, JayRandolph, Montgomery - Putnam, Parke-Clay, Knox-Daviess, Steu-ben-DeKalb, Porter-Jasper, WhiteCarroll, Wells-Adams, Boone-Ham iltoh, Vermillion-Fountain.

Red China Nuclear Pace Slowing Down By K. C. THALER - United Press International LONDON (UPI) — Red China’s progress toward becoming a nuclear power has been considerably slowed down by the withdrawal of all Soviet help, authoritative s.ources said today. Until the ideological conflict developed between the two giants of communism, Russia was aiding Communist China in nuclear research for peaceful — if not military — purposes. Now, even this small assistance has stopped. All Soviet-supplied nuclear reactors have remained, however, and it is largely, if not exclusively with their help, that Red China apparently has been producing sufficient uranium to date to work up some nuclear device nearing the experimental stage. But authoritative sources here agree with U.S. experts that it will be some time yet before Red China has an “operational” nuclear bomb, and many more years before she can muster the vehicles to deliver the deterrent. These conclusions are based on latest available information to reach here through the Bamboo Curtain. The analysis of available information to date suggests, the sources said, that Red China has been working for a long time on the nuclear problem and continues to do so. But whether Peking is hurrying the issue as a first rate priority is a matter for conjecture. Some experts doubt it.

Symphony Concert Here On Thursday ii Isler Solomon Die Indianapolis Symphony orchestra, for a number of years the feature attraction of the annual concert series of the Adams County Civic Music Association, will present its concert at the Decatur high school auditorium Thursday evening at 8 o’clock. y This program is presented at the high school, rather than the usual concert location at the Community Center, because of limited space at the Center for this type of presentation. With the added seating space, the association has invited senior high school students from all high school students of Adams county to attend. The orchestra is conducted by Izler Solomon, brilliant young conductor, who has directed the or-, chestra since 1956. Concert Program Die program for the concert is as follows: Part I — Overture, “Oberon,” by Carl Maria von Weber. The overture is built upon themese extracted from the opera by Weber. Part II — “Concerto Grosso,” opus 73, for flute, oboe, clairnet, bassoon and string orchestra, by selection are Albert Saurini, flute; Carl Eppert. Featured in this Hugh Matheny, oboe; Howard Johnson, clarinet, and Robert Thompson, bassoon. Part 111 — “Bolero," by Maurice Ravel. A drum establishes the dance rhythm, which is maintained without variation in pace. Intermission. Part IV — Symphony No. 3 “Eroica,” in E-flat major, opus 55, by Ludwig van Bethoven. This symphony was finished in 1804. It was composed in memory of Napoleon. Indianapolis Girl Is Fatally Burned INDIANAPOLIS <UPD — Cathy Hollis, 7, Indianapolis, died Tuesday of burns suffered the day before when her dress brushed against a gas range and caught fire in her home. WORST WEATHER (Continued from Page One) south, and 15 to 20 degrees below normal north. Slight moderation was expected Thursday or Friday in the north and near the weekend elsewhere. There will be occasional periods of snow. The overnight lows and the snow came after a moderate weather day Tuesday during which temperatures ranged from 20 at South Bend to 47 at Evansville at their high points. REPUBLICANS (Continued from Page One) being achieved on the districts, each pointed out lines on the other’s map which he believes "must be changed. “ Understandably, the Democrats tried to draw their map so as to elect a majority of Democrats and the Republicans tried to do the same for themselves. The difference between 60 and 50 senators also remains to be settled before a compromise plan can go through the Senate. Governor Welsh, in a news conference Tuesday, said he would accept a 60-member Senate “if this is the only mechanism” acceptable to the legislature. Biennial Budget The House Ways and Means Committee continued work ‘on the other big problem facing the lawmakers — the biennial budget. Chairman John Coppes, R-Nappa-nee, said his committee is "making good progress.” He said there are “only four or five areas” where the committee may find itself in disagreement. However, Coppes did not specify what those areas are. It is believed they lie in the public schools and college and universities budget. The Senate also is expected today to get a recommendation from its Judiciary A Committee for strengthening of the 1961 Civil Rights Act. z 7 The law created a commission, which has been functioning for nearly two years, but mainly as an educational body. Die new bill, which chairman Wedell Martin, R-Indianapolis, said was amended only in one spot, gives the commission power to issue cease and desist orders after holding hearings on alleged violations of civil rights.
