Filing Period Is Opened For City Nominees By United Press International A month-long filing period for candidates seeking nominations tor Indiana municipal offices opened Tuesday with hundreds of early birds officially declaring their intentions at county clerks’ offices. Primaries to choose the party standard bearers for the November election will be held May 7 in more than 100 Hoosier cities. Incumbent mayors filed in profusion on the opening day, including Bloomington’s Mrs. Mary Alice Dunlap who was chosen last year to fill out the unexpired term of Mayor Tom Lemon when he resigned for a postal position in Cincinnati. Mrs. Dunlap, like the bulk of Indiana mayors, is a Democrat. In Lake County, two Democratic candidates filed on the opening day for mayor of scandal-rocked Gary, the state’s second largest city. They were Calumet Twp. Assessor Thomas Fadell. who had announced his intentions previously, and John Marek, a steelworker and political unknown. Also in Lake County, Democratic Mayor Walter Jeorse of East Chicago filed for renomination and drew an official opponent in Louis , Blake. Jr., whom observers said may be the first Negro ever to file for a mayor post in Lake. The Democratic mayoralty situation was thrown into a turmoil at Indianapolis, the state capital and Indiana’s largest city, when Mayor Albert Losche withdrew his candidacy in the wake of a defeat his forces suffered in a Democratic city convention.

Says Lizard Story Is 'Pure Fantasy' MOSCOW (UPH— ASoviet professor, whose name was linked to a claim that 5,000-year-old lizardlike tritons had been brought back to life in Siberia, said today the story was “pure fantasy.” “The author of this tale should be punished," said Prof. Lev Losino-Losinsky, head of the cosmic biology laboratory at Leningrad’s Institute of Cytology. Losino-Losinsky said in a telephone interview he had warned the writer of the revived lizard tale ahead of time not to portray scientific fantasy as fact. The claim that a four-inch long amphibious salamander known as a triton had been revived after frozen 5.000 years in Siberian soil was broadcast Tuesday by Moscow radio. It triggered a storm of phone calls from correspondents here and abroad seeking more details. Overseas a host of scientific eyebrows were raised when the report was given wide circulation. In New York, Dr. Charles M. Bogert of the American Museum of Natural History attributed the reports to “some sloppy scientific observation.” Bogart said some salamanders “can be frozen in ice and thawed but there is no record of their being frozen for prolonged periods and reviving.” Moscow Radio reporters finally admitted they had taken the story from a 3-month-old issue of the Leningrad magazine Neva. Professors at Moscow University said the triton story originally started in 1955 or 1956. Neither Moscow Radio nor Neva made this clear, however. Both gave the impression the tritons had been found recently. **)£•. - Our advertisers are for your HOME TOWN — DEC ATU R. Patronise titem.

Welsh Keeping Up Battle For Indiana Port INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Welsh continued a relentless fight for Indiana to take the initiative in financing construction of a Burns Ditch port on Lake Michigan by making a recorded speech for radio stations and issuing a statement criticizing Republican leaders in the legislature. In the recording, Welsh accused the GOP of “playing politics with the economic health of our state.” In the statement this morning, the governor charged Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine either is not the GOP party leader in Indiana or he is talking one way and acting another. "Yesterday the Republican Party in both houses threw deliberate roadblocks in the way of the state’s economic progress,” Welsh said, referring to failure of the House to include port funds in the biennial construction budget and the Senate’s action favoring a 1964 referendum on whether to spend state funds for the port. “If Lt. Gov. Ristine is the leader of the Republican Party and if he does want a port and two Ohio River toll bridges, why do not the Republican members of the General Assembly follow his lead? “The answer is obvious. He either is not in fact the Republican leader, or while he privately tells some he supports the port and the bridges, he is secretly urging his Republican legislators to vote against the port and bridges.” Welsh said if the state does not get the port anfi bridges “it will be because Lt. Gov. Ristine and the Republican legislators have repudiated their pledges to support economic progress and are more interested in bitter partisan politics than in jobs for Hoosiers.” “I call upon the responsible Republican leaders to stop using the economic development fund as a political football,” he said. Legislature Passes Seat Belt Measure INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana Senate today sent to Governor Welsh a bill requiring front seat safety belts in all new cars beginning with 1964 models. The Senate adopted by a standing vote a motion by Sen. Allen Bloom, R-Fort Wayne, co-author of the measure, a motion to concur in a House amendment which restored to the bill a clause making car dealers equally responsible with car purchasers for seeing that the law is observed. The Senate had removed dealer responsibility from the original bill in an amendment recom- - mended by the Public Safety Committee. The bill passed the Senate 29-17 and the House 75-15. “ Governor Welsh was expected to sign it as a major effort to reduce Indiana's traffic death toll. Urban Area Death Toll Is Increased By United Press International Urban deaths are responsible for Indiana’s 1963 traffic fatality toll being higher than the comparative total this time last year, state police said today. Statistics showed that 143 fatalities as of midnight last Sunday were eight higher than the 135 a year earlier. Deaths in urban areas this year were 47 compared with 33 last year, while rural deaths were down from 102 to 96. Since Sunday midnight, two more names have been added to the list, raising it to 145. The only fatal accident reported in the state since Sunday midnight killed Mrs. Beverly Rosenbalm, 26, Martinsville, near that city early Tuesday.

Calls Grand Jury To Probe Charges

WINCHESTER, Ind. (UPD— Randolph County Prosecutor George Daly asked Circuit Judge J. W. Macy Tuesday to call a grand jury session Friday to investigate charges by members of the County Board of Tax Review that records in the county assessor’s office had been tampered with. Macy promptly complied with the request. The charges, made some weeks ago, were that some property valuations were raised after the review board had lowered them. “In my opinion, there has been a criminal violation in this case,” Daly said. “However, I do not know by whom. If I did, I would simply file charges.” Daly said an investigation would give all parties involved “an opportunity to appear and testify to facts as they know them.” He said the jury would be asked to study whether to return indictments charging alteration of public records, an offense carrying a possible penalty of 14 years imprisonment.

Cropland Conversion Program Authorized

- By GAYLORD P. GODWIN .. United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — The Agriculture Department has announced that farmers in counties designated as test areas under the pilot cropland conversion program may apply to take part during the remainder of February and through March 22. Farmers in the test counties who are interested in converting cropland to other uses may file applications at their Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation county offices. The cropland conversion program was authorized in the 1962 farm act as a long-range program of land use adjustment. Total funds available were limited to $lO million. A total of 41 test counties in 13 states were selected to provide a broad cross-section of experience with different types of land use opportunities. The cropland conversion program is designed to improve family farm income by helping farmers convert land not needed for the production of crops to some other long-range income-producing use such as farm forests, grass, water storage, wildlife habitat, or recreational facilities. Under the phase of the program being conducted in the test counties, primary emphasis is being placed on conversion of land from production of row crops and tame hay to pasture and trees. Farmers who participate in the program will receive adjustment payments, cost - sharing payments, technical assistance, and in some states, forestry incentive payments. These payments are not “income’’ payments, but rather are designed to assist farmers in shifting cropland to alternate income-producing uses. The states where the test counties are located are: Georgia, Idaho, lowa, Kansas, Maine. Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, 20 Years Ago Today Feb. 27, 1943—The Adams county chapter of the American Red Cross issued an appeal for more knitters in view of the urgent need for additional knit garments among the men and women in the armed forces.

north Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Wisconsin. Corn is always growing somewhere in the world. Right now in Southern Hemisphere countries corn is in the mid-growth stage, and when harvesting begins below the equator farmers up north will be planting kernels from Mexico to Manchuria. Prospects are that 7.3 billion bushels of dried corn will be produced in 1962-63, according to preliminary forecasts of the Foreign Agricultural Service. This is about 100 million bushels below 1961-62 production. The United States accounts for about half of the world total.
