- -a— ■ ■ ' Midnight Is Deadline For City Offices INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)-A lastminute flurry of filings and withdrawals today jelled the May 7 municipal primary prospects in more than 100 Indiana cities. The deadline for filing official declarations of candidacy for mayor, city councilman, City clerktreasurer, city judge and other municipal offices is midnight tonight. From one end of the state to the other, interest in politics which lagged somewhat after the 1962 off-year elections took on ' a new hue as city party organizations hummed with activity. Dozens of mayors sought reelection. Many former mayors also tried comebacks. Incumbents and newcomers to municipal politics rubbed elbows at county clerks’ counters as they tossed their hats into the ring. Only Vote Scheduled The municipal elections are the only ones sceduled this year. Primaries on the first Tuesday in May will determine the Democratic and Republican party standard bearers, then the winners plus any independents who file in the meantime will square off next November to see who gets control of city halls for the four years beginning next Jan. 1. There were numerous mayors, too, who decided not to try again Some tried to stretch their tenure into a second generation, including Mayor Ralph Tucker of Terre Haute who sought a fifth term. Tucker was the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for governor of Indiana in 1956. For Republicans, the task was to recoup some strength in the larger cities. The present lineup of mayors includes only one Republican in the 25 largest cities, and that is Kokomo. Some notable faces will be absent from the list of candidates. Mayor Albert Losche of Indianapolis, who advanced from city controller when Mayor Charles Boswell was appointed postmaster, decided not to seek a term on his own after a political defeat in a skirmish within his own Democratic party. Seeking to succeed Losche was John J. Barton, who resigned as superintendent of the Indiana State Police to seek the Democratic nomination. Barton was the second former state police <jhief to se6k a mayor’s chair this tirte. Ex-Supt. Harold Zeis, who served in the Gov. Harold Handley administration, filed as a Republican at Fort Wayne. Chacharis Is Missing Former Mayor George Chacharis also was conspicuous by his absence from the political scene in Gfary, the state’s second largest city. Chacharis resigned last December and pleaded guilty to a federal tax fraud charge involving kickbacks from contractors doing business with the oity. He is serving a federal prison term. Chacharis’ successor, Mayor John Visclosky, is among a flock of candidates seeking the Democratic nomination at Gary. Also in Lake County, Mayor Mary Bercik of Whiting sought renomination, one of several women in the mayoralty field around the state. Others were at Fort Wayne and Bloomington, where Mayor Mary Alice Lemon sought an elective term on her own. She was appointed to the post when then Mayor Thomas Lemon resigned for a postal appointment last year.

He said the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and former Negro baseball star Jackie Robinson would soon be here.

Conference (SCLC). “We plan to change the political structure of this city.” More than 100 Negroes held a campaign meeting Wednesday morning, then marched on city hall to ask for police protection.

Friendship Acres Grows Over Stale Friendship Acres, the CROP program whereby farmers pledge the returns from an acre of their crops to help the needy overseas through Christian agencies, is growing by leaps and bounds in Indiana, the Rev. Gerald L. Wilson, Indiana CROP director, said today. Last year, Adams county ranked second in the state with 52 Friendship Acres farmers. This year Kosciusko county has already signed up 56; Pulaski has 34, and is only partly reported. Elkhart county has a goal of 200 FA farmers, Rev. Wilson said. All FA chairmen are asked to report their progress to date immediately. An offer of 250 acres' worth of seed corn for Friendship Acres farmers in Indiana has been accepted rom the Farmers Union. This will include a plot of more than 50 acres in Elkhart county, where an entire farm will be planted in CROP corn! This wifl be a group project, the largest of its kind to date, both in Indiana, and in the entire country. The United Church Men of Indiana, in retreat at Bradford Woods March 9-10, adopted an 8point program, which included the following points ,as ways that Christian men can help through CROP: encourage farmers to set aside land in Friendship Acres projects, giving the product of this dedicated land to CROP; enlist both farm and city people in Friendship Hours, whereby an hour a week (or some other amount of time) is contributed to CROP work; foster popcorn—selling projects among youth groups, multiplying the income from the Friendship acres of popcorn. and family of Nashville, Tenn., are the new residents at 23 Krick St. for this week while he is the evangelist at the special revival services being held in the Church of the Nazarene al Ithis week.
