Native Hoosier Has ♦ Unique Position

By HOBTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS UPI) — Ana- , tive Hoosier has a Washington- ] based job which is extremely rare and probably unique for a < woman. ; Vivienne Bodeau's career as a ! military editor began with her be- i lief that ‘civilians outside Wash- 1 ington do not understand the mil- 1 itary or how necessary it is.” : Mrs. Bodeau, now military editor for the Northern Virginia Sun, j Arlington. Va., was born in Indi- ( anapolis, and her husband, father . and brother all are, or have been Army officers. “I am not an armchair writer,” the attractive blue-eyed ex-Hoosier explained during an interview. “I have flown in all kinds of planes and weather. "So far as anyone knows, I was the first woman to dive bomb on a target in a military plane and the first woman to drop paratroopers from a plane.” These two flights were among those Mrs. Bodeau made in coverage of military action and resulted in Virginia Press Women and National Federation of Press Women writing awards. Her work has twice got her into difficulties in Turkey and Iran. “In Turkey, I was held without passport and in Iran I was questioned at the police station for half a day,” she recalled. “I’ve been jumping around the world writing military stories since 1947,” she said. “I guess it really began when I went to Seoul, Korea as a counselor for the government in 1946. I became involved in adjudicating troubles between the Koreans and Ameri cans and kept finding story material in the military.” After being shot at several times and held by leftists for a day she was evacuated from Korea to Japan, and on her return to Washington she wrote for the Ordnance Corps. She also has published three military magazines and was U. S. lady European correspondent. One of her career ambitions is to extend her military column to came because she fears this is ame because she fears this is the area which least comprehends the goings-on in the Pentagon.

Port Commission Secretary Is Sued INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—lndiana Port Commission secretary Clinton Green was named Monday in a civil suit filed by the Save the Dunes Council, Inc., charging that he withheld public information on the Burns Ditch port sought by council representatives. The suit was filed in Marion Superior Court 3. It asked that Green be ordered to produce documents sought by the council. The suit charged that Edward W. Osann Jr., a Chesterton attorney representing the council, sent requests for information by registered mail to Green, but Green “willfully refused” to reply or furnish the information. Green said he had never received any such requests for information. The suit said Osann sought information on a 1960 agreement he

Osann said the council is “entitled to review the port commission’s records, minutes and particularly its agreements with the steel , compantoa which have ao far been shaded from scrutiny by all but a tight little group in the Statehouse.” He said the agreements were made in secret and that disclosure of the details “will prove that Green and others made exceptional concessions to both companies which make the proposed port an extremely unwise public investment.” Carpet Wear Add luxury and longer wear to your rugs and carpets by putting a pad underneath them.

Heavy Fire Damage Al Hammond Monday HAMMOND, lad. (DPI) — A seven-alarm fire destroyed a restaurant and four downtown stores here Monday, causing damage estimated in excess of |1 million. The raging fire, believed to have started in the restaurant kitchen, was fought by firemen from 10 units of the city fire department and firefighting units from seven neighboring cities. Officials said the blaze spread from the restaurant to a candy store, then through two clothing stores and a shoe store before it was brought under control three hours later. The blaze threatened the Mercantile National Bank and the Calumet National Bank. The Clumet bank was evacuated at the height of the fire. There were no injuries reported. Thousands of onlookers were attracted to the fire which burned a block from the Illinois state line where Calumet, 81., police were forced to reroute traffic. Officials said 20 pieces of firefighting equipment were on hand at the scene at one time, and the heat from the flames blistered the paint on several of the trucks. Indiana Birth Rate 1$ Lowest In Years INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - State officials said today Indiana’s birth rate last year appears to have been the lowest for any year since World War 11. Dr. Andrew C. Offutt, state health commissioner, announced that preliminary statistics indicate a total of 108,000 births in 1962, the lowest total in nearly a decade. This points to an estimate birth rate of less than 23 per thousand population, and the fifth straight year in which the state’s birth rate declined. Offutt said Indiana is not alone in this trend. Indications are, he said, that the national birth rate for 1962 will be comparable to that of Indiana. “At this time there is no reason to anticipate a reversal in this trend,” Offutt said. “However, a rather rapid increase in births may be expected in the late 1960’s when persons born in the postwar era reach maturity.”

No Surprise Over DeGaulle’s Action

By PHU, NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst When President Charles de Gaulle almost in a single sentence dumped the Atlantic alliance and vetoed British membership in the Common Market, the surprise need not have been nearly so great had the signs been read a little better. In a state of what might be called complacency, his Western associates simply went on expecting him to do things he never intended to do. As early as 1958, De Gaulle was showing disenchantment with NATO. After that came his determination that France should have its own nuclear force. His imposition of almost impossible conditions on British entry into Europe and his open courtship of the West German Republic have been other signposts along the way. They are not of recent origin. In De Gaulle's concept of a French-led Western Europe, there was no place for Britain or for the United States.

J y i ▼ RIT fl o UTTLEST RETIREE—Like most little boys, George Linnell, of Ely, N«v. ( liked to go to the airport and watch the big planes land. But he became such a familiar visitor that ground crew personnel made him an “official” signalman. With miniature signal paddles made by his father, George got so expert that he was actually allowed to guide planes to their parking places. Photo, left, was taken in 1957 when George wm 6 years old and was being bnefed on the instruments in an airliner’s cockp t. Now 11, signalman George “retired" recently because of the press of other activities. United Airline? held a retirement party for him, complete with cake and a genuine flve-year service pin.

The flat announcement when it did come seemed primarily a question of timing. Reasons for Decision It seems probable that these considerations lent weight to the final decision: —The European Common Market already is an economic success, and for selfish reasons alone its members are not likely to abandon it even in the face of a major upheaval. —Whatever its irritations may be, the United States cannot abandon Europe militarily. Therefore. even if it takes 10 years to build up an independent French nuclear force, there is no danger of a military vacuum. —ls there is a big foster, it will be Britain and if Britain finally does enter the Common Market, it will be on any terms she can get —France is at its moment of greatest economic strength. It is growing faster than West Germany and twice as fast as either

the United States or Britain. —Time is important Along with ** De Gaulle, the greatest advocate of close Franco-German ties has been West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer who is scheduled to leave office in less than a year. . —De Gaulle himself, with approximately three years left in office, also must firm up his own concept of a future France before it can be undone by his successor. Opposition at Home De Gaulle has strong opposition at home. It includes Jean Monnet, father of the idea for a unified European community, and former Premier Pierre Mendes-France. France’s partners in the Com mon Market have said plainly that De Gaulle’s idea of a Europe of the future is not their idea. But De Gaulle apparently feels himself on firm ground. The West German reaction may be his greatest weakness. The German Bundestag must ratify the accord recently negotiated by Adenauer and De Gaulle. The Germans want Britain in the Common Market. And they have indicated strongly that if they must choose between Paris and Washington for national defense, it will be Washington.
