Move Underway For New Dollar Bills

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Take a good look at the $1 bill in your wallet. Within three or four years k may be hard to find one that looks like it. With strong bipartisan support, a drive started in Congress Tuesday to give the government authority to put into circulation a new type of $1 bill. Hie main purpose: to avert danger that the Treasury by 1965 will exhaust its supply of silver for coinage. The $1 bills now in circulation are backed 100 per cent by silver. They are called “silver certificates.” The new ones would be backed with a 25 per cent gold reserve; They would be called “federal reserve notes.” They would look much different, too. If the pending legislation is enacted, the $1 bill will undergo its first big change in appearance since it was reduced to handy wallet size in 1929. The design would be changed to make the new bills easily distinguished from the old. The government has not started working on a new design yet, but the size and color probably will be kept the sameLegislation that would clear the way for these changes was approved by the House Banking Committee Tuesday by an 18-1 vote. The “no” vote was cast by Rep. Sherman P. Llyd, RUtah, as a “token’’ of his opposition to removal of silver backing from currency. Hie Treasury now has 1.3 bilSpecial Toll Rafes In Effect Tonight - A type of bargain Hoosier telephone users have been enjoying within their own state since 1958 goes nationwide tonight. Special “after 9 p. m.” long distance rates —making it possible to place a three-minute, station-to-station call from anywhere in the continental United States to any other such point for not more than sl—are scheduled to become effective at midnight. The plan is akin to the “Hoosier Night Rates’" plan inaugurated by Indiana Bell Telephone company five years ago. “Hoosier Night Rates” enable a caller to talk six minutes, station-to-station after 9 p. m., from any telephone in Indiana to any other Hoosier telephone for the price of a threeminute call. Like “Hoosier Night Rates,” the new rate is effective between 9 p. m. and 4:30 a. m. Another long distance telephone rate adjustment due to take effect at midnight is an increase in charges on interstate, persons-to-per-son calls spanning distances up to 800 miles. Adjustments will vary between five and 10 cents for a three-minute call, depending on the distance between the calling and receiving points. The two changes were made by the Bell Telephone system after a series of informal discussions with federal communications commission representatives on interstate telephone earnings and revenues.

lion ounces of silver which it cannot touch because it must be held as backing for the $2 billion worth of $1 bills now in circulation. Retirement of these $1 “silver certificates" from circulation in favor of gold-backed $1 notes would “free” Treasury-owned silver for use in making coins. Defense Head Ready To Call Half To Probe WASHINGTON (UPl)—Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara was reported ready today to call a halt to his latest investigation into the sources of an embarrassing news story. Conducted on McNamara’s orders by Lt, Gen. W.H. Blanchard, Air Force inspector general, the search for sources of a story about the TFX airplane controversy was backfiring throughout the Pentagon in a curious mixture of amusement and anger. One high official said that the quest had turned into “opera bouffe” with uniformed sleuths interrogating presidential appointees and asking whether they would be willing to take a lie detector test He said McNamara was about ready to end the business. Sources of the cause celebre was the Washington Evening Star disclosure on March 21 of an Air Force officer’s memorandum contending some Air Force personnel had been abused and pressured by Senate investigators looking into the TFX contract award. The non-secret memo was unearthed and given eight column treatment just as McNamara was waging a peace offensive before the investigating subcommittee of Sen. John L. McClellan, D-Ark. Incensed by the public disclosure of the “damaging” document, i which he said he had tried to suppress, McNamara sent Blanchard orders through Air Force Secre-, tary Eugene M. Zuckert to find out who gave it to a Star reporter. Blanchard attacked his chore with vigor. There is no record that he questioned KcNamara, but the Defense Department said he interrogated Deputy Defense Secretary Roswell L. Gilpatric, Navy Secretary Fred Korth and Zuckert. He got from them affidavits and statements of willingness to submit to lie detector tests. The irony of it was that the Defense Department acknowledged the leaked story had no secrecy classification. An official said today not even “real security leaks" had had such investigating. Girl Is Bitten By Dog Last Evening A dog is being kept under observation for two weeks, after biting a Decatur girl Tuesday evening. Connie Lambert, 703 Schirmeyer St., reported to the city police at 8:50 o’clock Tuesday night that she had been bitten by a dog in the 500 block of Studebaker St. a short time earlier. Investigation by the city police found the owner of the dog to be Manuel jGonzales, 533 Studebaker St. The police instructed Gonzales to keep the black and white animal tied up for a period of two weeks, for any signs of rabies in the dog. Gonzales said the dog had had its rabies shots, but that he would keep the dog under observation.

Ask Reimbursements By Food Suppliers INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The State of Indiana sought reimbursements totaling more than $13,750 today from two out-of-state food suppliers for “misbranded’’ fruit products and coffee containing insects. Deputy Commissioner James H. Berg of the State Department of Administration sent letters to the Walter English Co., Columbus, Ohio, and Swanson Brothers, Chicago. Affidavits were attached, signed by George F. Mayo, chief of the food section of the Division of Food and Drugs of the Indiana State Board of Health, saying that an analysis of Swanson’s coffee showed 65 insect parts per 100 grams and ih some cases "whole insects.” “We wish to advise you that the Indiana State Board of Health has instructed this office to confiscate and destroy all canned coffee labeled Swanson Brothers,” Berg wrote the Chicago firm in a letter asking $2,230 reimbursement for 4,699 pounds of coffee. Reimbursement of $11,538 was asked of the English company and an affidavit from Mayo said that 724 cases of cherries and 2,687 cases of canned orange juice were “misbranded.” The orange juice actually was grapefruit juice with orange added, the affidavit said. The cherries were supposed to contain not more than 15 per cent damaged fruit by state specifications but actually contained 19 to 34 per cent damaged, Mayo said. Low Enrollment At School At Hoagland Any persons having youngstters who will be attending MadisonMarion consolidated school at Hoagland next fall as first graders, should contact the school at once if they have not already done so. Officials report that the number attending the pre-school roundup March 29 was small, and feel the enrollment will be more than the roundup indicated.

Revolt Fading In Argentina

BUENOS AIRES (UPD—A revolt led by retired army generals with some navy support faded tpday after government jet fighters battered the rebel-held Punta Indio naval air base into surrender. Revolt leader Lt. Gen- Benjamin Menendez was believed to be at sea aboard the ice breaker San Martin which left Buenos Aires in such a hurry Tuesday night that mooring ropes were severed rather than cast off. Surrender of the big naval air base at Punta Indio, near La Plata, Buenos Aires Province capital, was announced officially. Government sources said loyal air force jets and bombers destroyed 2 fighter planes, damaged 18 others, damaged 2 transports, wrecked a hangar and knocked out 2 anti-aircraft positions. Menendez, who proclaimed his “national revolution” early Tuesday to block participation by supporters of ousted President Juan D. Peron in the scheduled June 23 general elections, was believed headed for Mar del Plata, 250 miles south of Buenos Aires. Rebel eviction Tuesday night from Buenos Aires, La Plata and the Rio Santiago naval base was believed to leave the insurgents with only a handful of coastal Childhood Diseases Increased Sharply , INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) -The number ‘of cases of various childhood diseases has shown a sharp increase in Indiana over the comparative figures for 1962, State Board of Health stitistics showed today.

points still in their hands. Major stronghold still in rebel hands was the Puerto Belgrano naval base, Argentina’s largest, some 600 miles south of Buenos Aires. The base’s satellite city of Punta Alta and the large city of Bahia Blanca, 20 miles west of the base, also were held by rebel forces. The key to further naval resistance appeared to lie in the attitude of toe high-sea fleet commanded by Rear Adm. Eladio Vasquez. Hie rebels said the fleet was off the Atlantic coast of Buenos Aires Province and included toe 20,000-ton aircraft carrier Independence and the heavy cruisers Nueve de Julio and General Belgrano. U. S. Denies Encouraging Exile Raids WASHINGTON (UPI) — The United States today “categorically” rejected Russian charges that it has encouraged exile raids against Cuba. It also reiterated its opposition to “Soviet military involvement” on the island. A U.S. note delivered this morning in Moscow contained a pointed, though unspecific, demand for further removal of Russian forces from Cuba. The note was in reply to two Russian protests which contended the United States was responsible for Cuban exile raids March 17 and March 26 in which the Soviet freighters Lgov and Baku were attacked at Cuban ports. The U.S. note said the United States was taking “every step necessary” to insure that such attacks are not “1 au n ched, manned or equipped from U.S territory.” It added, “In taking vigorous action to prevent misuse of its territory, toe government of the United States trusts that the governmen of toe Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will not misinterpret such action as indicating any change in United States opposition to Soviet military involvement in Cuba.”

Canadian Leaders Clash Over Policy

By BRUCE AGNEW United Press International MONTREAL (UPI) — Liberal leader Lester B. Pearson and Prime Minister John Diefqnbaker clashed Tuesday night over whether U.S. nuclear warheads on Canadian soil would defend Canada or make it a “burnt sacrifice” in a nuclear war. Pearson was the target of a telephoned bomb threat just as he was to begin his speech in Winnipeg, the Manitoba capital. But no bomb was found and Pearson did not learn of the threat until after his speech was over. The Liberal leader, addressing a mass rally six days before the April 8 election, accused the prime minister of distorting the words of U.S. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara in attacking the value of Canada’s two Bomarc anti-aircraft missile bases. The Progressive Conservative party leader, campaigning in halting French and spell-binding English in Quebec, said the Bomarcs were useless except as decoys to attract Soviet missile fire. He suggested they would make the “Canadian people a burnt sacrifice” “And what about you?” Diefenbaker asked an audience of about 600 persons in Montreal. “What about you? What about you? What about ' you?” Diefenbaker intoned. Diefenbaker’s promise that "We do not intend to make Canada a dump for nuclear weapons” got the loudest applause of his speech. The Bomarc missile is one of several elements in the campaign's nuclear defense issue. The United States wants to see the Canadian Bomarc bases armed with nuclear warheads—the missiles are useless without them and Washington also feels that nuclear arms for Canada’s FlOl jet fighter-interceptors are needed to fight off any Soviet attack. A State Department statement spelling out the U.S. position Jan. 30 opened the widest U.S.-Cana-Red Propaganda Is Scored By Dulles COLUMBIA, S. C. 'UPD—Allen W. Dulles, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), said Tuesday that Communist propaganda from Cuba to Latin American countries was “just as dangerous” as arms shipments.

dian breach in years and helped precipitate the present election campaign. McNamara, in House appropriations subcommittee testimony made public last week, said the Bomarcs at eight U.S. sites had limitations but were worth their S2O million-a-year upkeep. “At the very least,” he said, "they would force Russia to divert missiles from other targets to destroy them.

Kizer estimated this would produce $223 million in new revenue, enough for the budget as it now stands in a conference committee. Rep. Charles Edwards, RSpencer, GOP caucus chairman, said his group at a meeting this morning instructed Rep. John F. Coppes, R-Nappanee, to go back to his committee and compromise between their tax program and that of the Senate Republicans who favor a 2 per cent sales tax and a gross income tax increase. “The caucus would prefer to stick with its sales tax but the caucus has confidence in Coppes and is sure he can work out something acceptable to everyone,” said Edwards. Edwards said the fact the Senate Republicans took a stand on a tax program was “a hopeful sign and the end of the special session is probably closer than anyone believed.” “I would be pleased and not very surprised,” Edwards said, “if I could attend Good Friday services at home.” Good Friday is April 12, exactly one month from the date of the special session’s start. Earlier, Democratic leaders had a four per cent adjusted gross income tax plan ready in case Republicans fail to unite on a reve-nue-raising program.
