He did not say specifically whether he was proposing another invasion attempt. deVarona testified before the House foreign affairs subcommittee on Latin America which is investigating Communist subversion in Latin America. John A. McCone, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, gave the parent Foreign Affairs Committee an extensive report Tuesday on the Red subversion from Cuba. Rep. Thomas E. Morgan, DPa., chairman of the group, said McCone described “the expansion and exportation of guerrilla activities from Cuba to Latin America.” Morgan did not give details of McCone’s testimony. Students Stage Riot In Santo Domingo SANTO DOMINGO (UPI) — Stone-throwing Roman Catholic students battled police outside the national capital Tuesday in a riotous protest against a proposal to establish absolute state control of education. COUNCIL (Continued from Page One) refinish the head of each meter. Pay By Month This would be done at a cost of $39.50 a meter, which would be ouite a savings from the $58.75 that a new meter would cost. By replacing the mechanisms, each meter would be new mechanically. The work may be paid for at $1.50 per meter per month, which is the plan the council adopted to follow in having the work done. The council also instructed city attorney Robert S. Anderson to draw up bid notices for a 1963 model truck chassis that will be used by the fire department as a tank truck to haul extra water to fires. The matter arose when fire chief Cedric Fisher explained that his department had sent a truck to the fire on the Herman Brown residence in Union township early Sunday morning, and had run out of water in a short time. The council has been planning to buy such an outfit from the SSOO each of four townships will pay in for fire protection this year. Since some of the trustees are unable to secure the necessary funds for the fire protection payment as yet, only $1,250 of the $2,000 has been turned in yet. Lease - Purchase Basis The council thus decided to purchase the truck chassis on a leasepurchase basis, leasing the truck until all the money is in and then paying off the difference when r is turned in to clerk-treasurer Laura Bosse. The bids will be for a 196. truck chassis, which will include the cab, motor, etc., but will have nothing on the rear. The city is now negotiating for the purchase of a 1,000 gallon tank, and the tank will be mounted on the rear of the chassis, filled with water, and then taken to rural fires. An ordinance was passed approving a contract between the city of Decatur and Baker and Schultz, for construction of the new sewer on Patterson street. The contract was recently let by the board of works and safety to the local contractors. Bill Sweere, a Parkview Drive resident, submitted a petition to the council requesting street lights on Parkview Drive, signed by a number of residents of that area. Mayor Gage explained to him that the council has aleardy included that section in their plans for additional street lights.

Volunteers Needed For State School State executives of the Indiana mental health association will attend the organization meeting of “Gold Ladies” and men of Adams county February 28 at 1:30 p.m. in the directors room of the first Bank of Berne. This meeting has been arranged for all interested men and women who are willing to assist at the Fort Wayne State School on a volunteer basis for a day or two per month. This service, which is primarily assisting in the care of patients, is greatly needed to allow the staff personnel to care for patients needing more immediate attention. At the present time Adams county has 13 patients at the State School. This volunteer service would not necessarily need trained workers but those who could help write letters for patients, take them to therapy rooms, helping with arts and crafts, and other duties that are for the welfare and rehabilitation of the patient. Men are also greatly needed for this service and those who could give of their time are urged to attend the meeting. A film, “Someone Cares,” will be shown. i
