Long Hearing Held On Economic Fund

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The joint three-hour public hearing Senate Finance and House Ways Wednesday night on Governor Welsh’s controversial $35 million Economic Development Fund. The Governor's plan was outlined by Clinton Green, executive secretary of the Indiana Port Commission and Welsh’s administrative assistant, and other speakers. Opponents also took the floor to criticize the plan as “money making for a few” and to question the findings about the proposed deepwater port at Burns Ditch and two toll bridges over the Ohio at Cannelton and Mauckport. Green summarized the Gover- < nor’s program as - - I—Construction of the outer breakwater of the port of Indiana. 2— Financing for toll bridges across the Ohio River at Cannelton and Mauckport. 3— Maintenance of the full construction schedule of Monroe Reservoir near Bloomington. 4— Begin the modernization of state parks and memorials. Dr. Joseph R. Hartley, of the Indiana University School of Business presided. The session opened with Sen. Robert P. O’Bannon, D-Corydon, a veteran budget committee member. Other Speakers Other early speakers included representatives of the Indiana Toll Bridge Commission; Lewis Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division; Lewis Austin. United Mine Workers: and Rep. James Stagg, D-Evansville. "The Question today is whether we let partisan politics move Indiana and its economy backward or whether we take positive action to insure the economic health of Indiana,” Stagg said. "Indiana has lagged seriously in economic growth. States are in competition with each other for industrial plants. We cannot afford to continue to do nothing,” Stagg said. He named a long list of factories which he said have moved from Indiana to other states as evidence action must occur as soon as possible. ‘The port of Indiana also is one of our finest opportunities for improving the economy of the state,” Stagg said. Austin said the Indiana port would mean work for from 700 to 1,000 additional Hoosier coal miners. Chicago Port Congested Stagg maintained the port of Chicago was too congested to handle bulk products such as coal and the Belt railroads charge 52-cents per ton, placing Indiana coal producers in a weak competitive position. Governor Welsh’s plan has met

i stiff Republican opposition. GOP : chiefs maintain financing ports and harbors traditionally was done by the federal government and the practice should continue. On the other hand, Mrs. J. H. Buell of Ogden Dunes, .president of the Save-the-Dunes Council, said the legislature should not adopt a program of “money making for a few.” “The Dunes is famous all over the world,” she said, adding that Sen. Paul Douglas, D-111., staunch opposer of the proposed port, became interested in the fight at her request and because “he loves the Dunes.” Also speaking for the Dunes council, Professor C. W. Efroymson of Butler University, said there was danger in building a one-industry community. He said the steel industry is subject to joblessness from automation and its workers often face long-term layoffs. Richard Mobly, Martinsville, representing the American Camping Assn., maintained because of ice in the Great Lakes, the Indiana Port would be closed for at least three months a year. He also suggested the Dunes State Park be enlarged to eliminate crowded conditions. Walter Ford of Hammond Chamber of Commerce, said the state cannot afford to spend the money on the port. Herbert Read, Chesterton architect, said there has been no proof submitted that the Indiana harbor would be self-supporting. George Anderson of Portage, questioned findings of the Army Corps of Engineers and of Green concerning the port. Governor Welsh spoke in behalf of the toll bridges. He said it would be better for Indiana to do the financing and then repay the state with tolls because the state would then have complete control of the bridges. He said because of the laws in Indiana and Kentucky, a joint project would be impractical. However, he said he has received promises from Kentucky authorities that they would build roads to connect with the bridges in Kentucky and also would probably build access routes to the Kentucky Toll Road. Robert Cummings, secretary of the Indiana Toll Bridges Commission, said there would be industrial growth in Indiana when the bridges are constructed. He cited bridges have made prosperous communities of Madison and Mount Vernon, adding that on the Ohio River in a stretch of 145 miles from Owensboro to Louisville there are no bridges. The hearing broke up a little before 11 p.m. with no discussion of the Monroe Reservoir project, also part of the Governor’s Economic Development Fund.

The “Senior Citizens Hospital Insurance Act” was to be formally introduced in Congress, probably shortly after transmission of Kennedy’s message, by Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, D-N.M., and Rep. Cecil King, D-Calif. Presidential adviser said they would welcome “any Republicans who care to join us in supporting the legislation.” The medicare program foundered in Congress last year, being blocked in the House and rejected by the Senate on a narrow 50-46 vote. Chances for a favorable 1963 vote in the Senate improved due to the elections last November, but Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., has announced he will not schedule another Senate vote this year unless the House acts.

Missile Fired Successfully At Canaveral

CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) — The Air Force seemed a bit uncertain about what kind of missile it had fired into space. But it was sure the shot was a success just the same. That was Wednesday night at Cape Canaveral, where a week ago scientists managed to lose a satellite after putting it into orbit. The missile in question this time was a Minuteman “instant ICBM.” The Air Force fired it from the bottom of a concretelined “silo,” and sent it more than 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. But Minuteman missiles nowadays are like brothers —they can be members of the same family but entirely different from one another. At this point Wednesday night, the official stares became blank: Was this Minuteman one of the earlier “Wing-1” models, like the two dozen or so now on station with nuclear warheads at Malmstrom Air Force base near Great Falls, Mont.: Or was it one of the more advanced “Wing-2” rockets, a fairly different version using improved first and second stages and still to become operational? Two Air Force spokesmen said they “didn’t know.” No one else seemed to either, but everyone was unanimous on one point—it was a good shot. Finally someone hit on the official answer: The Minuteman was basically a Wing-1 model which “tested some of the components of the Wing-2.” Things didn’t seem much clearer. The 3,000-mile range was short for the Minuteman, a three-stage weapon built to hit targets up to 6,500 miles away. The “hold-down” this time was deliberate, experts said. Minuteman rockets tipped with nuclear warheads will be installed in similar underground launching pits throughout the country, standing ready to be fired on 32 seconds' notice in case of war. Eventually, the United States hopes to have more than 900 of the three-stage rockets on station as the key link in its continentbased missile forces. Man Is Fined For Disorderly Conduct Otto Johnson, 73, 1225 Patterson St., was arrested by the city police Wednesday afternoon on a disorderly conduct charge, and appeared in city court this morning. Johnson paid a fine of $5 and costs, a total of $22, this morning, after pleading guilty to the charge. He was arrested at 3:25 p.m. Wednesday at the corner of Eighth and Monroe streets.

Major Breakthrough In Cancer Research HOUSTON (UPI) -Cancer researchers from three continents learned today how a team of Utah State University botanists used sound waves to create living viruses from cell-free plant and animal substances. Dr. George W. Cochran explained how he and his associates developed the process, which was described as a major breakthrough in cancer research. Cochran said his team also found the source of a suspected cancer link in infected cells to find where the suspected substance, nucleic acid, was formed. They found it in tiny green bodies containing chlorophyll, and in the nucleus, the “center” of the cell. Cochran said the researchers purified the green particles, put them in test tubes and broke them open with ultrasonic (high sound range) energy. They added a small amount of viral nucleic acid which served as a pattern to create the new living organisms. Cochran made his report at the 17th annual symposium on fundamental cancer research at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute. He said he discovered early last year that ribonucleic acid, usually produced by living cells or viruses, could be formed * by cell-free extracts from infected plants. He duplicated in the test tube a type of ribonucleic acid formed by tobacco virus. Cochran said he hopes his experiments will lead to new methods of chemical control of virus diseases—including, possibly, cancer.

ASSEMBLY (Continued from Page One) allocating approximately one-third of the seats on the basis of geography and the remainder on population of men and women over 21. The House would be redistricted on the basis of over-21 population only. The decennial federal census would be used to determine the population and the membership would remain the same—so senators and 100 representatives. MORE - MORE - MORE * MORE GALLEY 2 ASSEMBLY MAY The Senate did not undertake.to spell out the method by which th e House would work out its first shift into reapportionment but stuck a proviso in the bill calling for election at large. The House, however, is expected to work out another method, when the bill for immediate reaches the lower chamber. Hie Senate and the House rgn into another difference today, jn addition to reapportionment. A Republican Senate caucus, by one vote, decided late Wednesday pot to support the Kerr-Mills program for medical care of the needy aged. Although Senate caucus chairman Roy Conrad said “thi? does not mean dhe bill is killed” the vote was a Slap at the House. Rep. James Allen, R-Salem, ope of the esteemed veterans at ..tße lower chamber, is backing the WP* and had expressed disappointmßM that the bill had not been reported put of the Senate Finance Committee. ' ; < Vote Termed Bpteatinwrt ? < x Some observers saw the ohemargin vote against the K<tMills program as a tempcrarY expression of resarapient a<atesl the unexpected acfibh of Os. Edward R. Ahnis, Miami, Fla., ident-elect of the American Medical Association. The doctor had been introduced to the Senate as a coiirtsey and took the occasion to urge the senators to vote for the program. Dr. Annis, who feels strongly that the Kerr-Mills legislation must be enacted by the states to prevent federal intervention, also was a witness at a House Public Health Committee meeting. He said the Kerr-Mills program would cost Indiana $4 million, but the far-reaching King-Anderson program would cost S4B million. Conrad said he felt the RepuWican senators would reconsider and approve the Kerr-Mills bill. “They just want to know where the money is coming from first,” he said. The GOP caucus also reteawd the Senate Finance Committee from a “binder” which had been imposed against the reporting out of bills requiring appropriations. As a result, a measure calling for a 100-bed hospital at the Indiana University Medical Center for the mentally retarded vu reported out oi the committee. The Hause, hard hit by illness, recessed at noon Wednesday but
