Invites Lawmakers To Visit Port Site

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) -Governor Welsh, promoting his $36 million economic development fund proposal to the hilt, today invited Indiana’s 149 lawmakers to take a flying trip to the Burns Ditch port site Saturday. Welsh distributed memoes on the desks of all members of the legislature this morning urging each to take one of two four-hour plane flights offered to the sites of projects which would be financed by his proposed fund. Besides the Burns Ditch port flight, other planes will fly over the Monroe Reservoir near Bloomington and on down to the Ohio River to inspect the sites of proposed toll bridges at Mauckport and Cannelton. “Each trip should be interesting and informative and I personally urge you to take one or the other of these trips," Welsh said. Welsh proposed some time ago that the state cigarette tax be increased from 3 to 6 cents to create in the 1963-65 biennium a 136 million fund for economic development in the state. Os this amount, about $25 million would be earmarked for outer breakwater construction and other preliminaries for the Lake Michigan port in lieu of federal appropriations which Welsh feels are unlikely to be available for some years. Hie remainder would be spent to increase state appropriation; for the Monroe Reservoir and to build two more bridges over the Ohio with tolls eventually to repay the advancement made from the fund. The trips will start about 11 a.m., shortly after the lawmakers complete a bobtailed Saturday work schedule. Welsh promised transportation would be furnished from the Statehouse portals to the airport. While at Burns Ditch, the group on that trip will visit the Midwest Steel Co. plant and the Bethlehem Steel Co. construction site, Welsh said. He said nothing in the memo about whether lawmakers would be free to roam the sand dunes

Robert Peterson, D-Rochester, suggested in the Senate Wednesday that the legislators suspend business for a aay and go en masse to the port site to see the controversial area for themselves. Hundreds Os Guerrillas In Cuba Training Washington <upd — Hundreds of Latin Americans are being trained in Cuba in guerrilla warfare, sabotage, and leadership of insurgent movements, U.S. officials reported today. They said the United States also had detected “illicit movements" of funds from Cuba to Communist groups in other Latin American countries. And the Cuban radio, these officials reported, continues to speak i directly to terrorist groups that j have been operating in Venezuela. ■ State Department officials said, however,, that what the United States knows about the details and scope of Cuban subversive activities in the hemisphere is, at the moment, “classified.” They said “thousands" of persons from other countries were receiving “ideological” training in Cuba. Os these, “hundreds” were said to be getting a more practical training m the methods of insurgency. “We use the word ‘hundreds’ advisedly," one official said. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara, in his television report on Cuba Feb. 6, said there was no evidence of Cuba being used as a “base for subversion” and that the United States would not “tolerate" this. But officials now say—and the context of McNamara’s remarks would indicate—he had in mind a more major type of Cuban subversion involving export of arms or aggression. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, in a speech in Los Angeles Wednesday night, said, “Communist subversion in Latin America, whether connected with Cuba or not, is being met by the individuals and joint actions of the American states.” Rusk said Cuba would “not be permitted” to become “a base for offensive military operations against other countries.” He once more called for removal of Soviet troops from Cuba which he said “poison the atmosphere and increase the dangers." The secretary said “the armed for.ces of the United States and its neighbors in the hemisphere will ensure that arms in Cuba will not be used outside Cuba.” Gary Man Dead Os Traffic Injuries By United Press International Another name was added today to Indiana's 1963 traffic fatality toll, raising it to at least 118 compared with 100 a year ago. Dingeman DeWitte, 34, Gary, died in Mercy Hosiptal there Tuesday night from injuries suffered Monday afternoon when his panel truck collided with a car in Gary.

“Bomber” Nabbed After Two Hours

WASHINGTON (UPD — For nearly two tension-filled hours Wednesday Washington police wrestled with the dilemma of what to do about a man who threatened to blow up the Justice Department. They cleared one block of Pennsylvania Avenue of all pedestrians and automotive traffic, and removed everyone from the first two floors of the five-story building. Finally, they resorted to tear gas and flushed 33-year-old Nathan Wise of r noenix, Ariz., from underneath the 1956 Oldsmobile sedan he had driven up three concrete steps to the doorway. Wise, who calmly kept demanding to see FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to start impeachment proceedings against President Kennedy and the cabinet, was hustled off, struggling, in a police wagon. He was being held today in District of Columbia General Hospital for mental observation. Authorities said the psychiatric examinations usually took three days. Find Empty Cans There was no bomb. What police had been led to believe was an explosive turned out to be a suitcase filled with newspapers that had been wired to the bottom of the car. Gasoline cans inside the car were empty. The two-hour bomb scare began shortly after high noon, when Wise suddenly veered his auto off Pennsylvania Avenue and up the steps. He got out and lay down on his stomach beneath the vehicle. To startled building guards and bewildered .pedestrians who rushed up, he said, “I am de■nanding to see J. Edgar Hoover to initiate impeachment proceedings against John F. Kennedy. President of the United States.”

Leonard Rosen of Brockton, Mass., who was leaving the building, told reporters Wise gave him a little smile and said, ‘‘l’m not crazy.” Police were summoned after Wise told the building guards that he had a bomb in the suitcase. Deputy Police Chief George R. Wallrodt said Wise told him “he would die right there if we laid a hand on him.” More than 30 police and detectives arrived on the scene. They ordered' persons in buildings across the street to remain .inside. Police cars, patrol wagons, motorcycles, an ambulance, and a bomb disposal unit stood by. Hook Up Hose Policemen took turns trying to coax Wise to come out. When they made no progress, two fire trucks drove up and firemen hooked up a hose in an apparent move to wash him out. Suddenly, a tear gas barrage was fired from a clump of busWs near the building entrance. A squad of policemen rushed up, throwing more tear gas grenades under the automobile. Wise, his e"es streaming, scrambled out end was. seized. Army L. Leland D. Eisenhower of Arlington, Va.. no relation of the former President, opened the suitcase and found only the newspapers and a flashlight. In Phoenix, Ariz., Wise’s 20-year-old wife, Joan, said she sought unsuccessfully less than a month ago to have him committed to a mental hospital. She said a doctor had recommended treatment but a Superior Court judge refused to place Wise in the Arizona State Hospital, ' At the Washington hospital, Wise’s comment was: “Well, that’s what happens to you when -you’re trying to do something good.”

Plans Withdrawal Os Nuclear Bombers WASHINGTON (UPI) —The Defense Department plans to start withdrawing U. S. nuclear bombers from overseas bases during the next 16 months, it was learned today. Barring some new emergency, plans call for reducing the number of Strategic Air Command 847 jets that now are kept on constant ale rt at bases circling the Soviet Union. __ _ The cutback in 847 operations at European and other bases will follow the dismantling of Thor missile sites in England and Jupiter missile sites in Italy and Turkey. It will coincice with the rapid increase in Mmuteman and Polaris missiles based respectively in the United States and in sul> marines in the North Atlantic. Submarines also are slated to go to the Mediterranean this spring. 847 bombers now are stationed at bases in England, Spain, Morocco, Alaska and Guam—nuclear armed and ready to take off cn six to 15 minutes notice.

Adair, Bray May Enter In Senate Race By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager won’t get the 1964 Republican senatorial nomination handed to him on a platter, according to all indications today. A number of other GOP leaders appear to have developed aspirations to battle Democratic Sen. Vance Hartke next year. Two Hoosier GOP congressmen are the latest to be mentioned for the nomination. They are E. Ross Adair, Fort Wayne, 4th District, and William G.. Bray, Martinsville, 7th District. Both congressmen have demonstrated that they can roll up vote totals even in elections in which Democrats have triumphed for higher offices. Their congressional seats generally are regarded as “safe” for them, which, however, might lead them to play it safe by staying in their districts. Trial Balloon Hoisted A trial balloon for a senatorial bid by Adair apparently was launched at a recent Lincoln Day dinner at Fort Wayne, sponsored by the Allen County Young Republican Club. Introducing Adair, now serving his seventh congressional term. Win Rood, Young Republican chairman, said: “Young Republicans across the state join with many others in encouraging Ross Adair to become a candidate for the Senate in 1964.” Discussing the incident, the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel, a Republican newspaper, said: “Although Adair declined to make any comment on Rood’s endorsement. there appeared to be little doubt that he knew in advance, it would be made, and the remark indicated he seriously entertain thoughts of seeking the Republican nomination for the Senate. “As far back as 1958, Adair has expressed some interest in a Senate seat, but to date, he has not made an open bid for the job.” Bray Friends Hopeful Bray’s friends have said that they have talked with him recently and have gathered the impression that he is considering the senatorial battle. The Bobbs-Merrid Publishing Co. of Indianapolis, next month will publish Bray’s book, “Russian Frontiers”, on which he has been

working for five years. Although Bray generally is regarded as a conservative, he has received the active support of most of the members of the United Mine Workers Union in his congressional campaigns. Some political observers believe that Bontrager made a political mistake by taking the post of GOP senate leader, because after his election, the death of Republican Sen. Richard Newhouse lost a constitutional majority in the Senate for the Republicans. Hie upshot has been that Bontrager to date has not been able to display a winning image as head of the GOP senate forces. And that is important in this age of political imagery.
