THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

I Urges Research On Method Os Birth Control WASHINGTON (UPD—A noted Catholit? physician today called on the National Institutes of Health to set up immediately “at least 10 major research centers’’ to work on new methods of fertility control. Dr. John Rock, emeritus professor of gynecology at Harvard and co-developer of the oral contraceptive pill, made the plea at a lunch meeting sponsored by the Planned Parenthood Federation world population emergency camlpaign. “Catholic doctrine today is no obstacle to a massive program of government action on the population pro b 1 em," Rock said. “Many Catholic scholars are as concerned with the tragic consequences of overpopulation as are non-Catholics.” He noted that the late Pope Pius XII and other “authoritative chureh leaders” have urged greater scientific research to perfect the rhythm method of birth control which Catholics find morally acceptable. Rock said he had no doubt that a massive research program would quickly lead to a variety of “improved, • reliable, natural methods of fertility regulation" which would be acceptable to all religious groups and cheap enough to be introduced on a mass scale in underdeveloped countries. A panel of nutrition experts agreed that more intensive cultivation of present agricultural lands would make it possible to feed three or four times the present world population. But they said this would require vast outlays of money for fertilizer and intensive education of farmers in undeveloped countries. Dr. Richard Bradfield, professor of agronomy at Cornell University, said that without some limitation on human fertility, the best that could be hoped for is to maintain present nutrition levels. Gains in food production resulting from improved agricultural techniques would be swallowed up 1 by the doubling of the world population which would take place by the year 2000 under present birth rates, he said. Hopes for raising living standees among the of the human race which is chronically hungry, Bradfield said, depend on how quickly “ifte..brakes jeer-ABv plied to population growth” in under-developed countries. Romney Again Denies Candidacy LANSING, Mich. (UPD — Gov. George Romney returned to his state capital Tuesday and promptly left the 1964 Republican presidential nomination battle up to Sen. Barry Goldwater and New York Gov. Nelson A. RockefellerRomney, home after an eightday sojourn to Washington and New York, repeated that he is "not a candidate and I do not plan to be a candidate in 1964.” The former industrialist said that Goldwater and Rockefeller are the “top candidates at this point” and said he had invited both of them to come to Michigan “to let the state get a look at them /’ ~ Amazed At Publicity Romney said he was “amazed at the publicity given his recent trip during which evidences of a Romney-for-president boom was growing Within GOP ranks. “People have been interpreting things that aren’t there,” he said. “All I’ve been doing is feffainiiig from indioating what I’m going to do after this term as governor.” The governor denied reports that he had been listening to encouragement from prominent Republicans, among them former President Eisenhower and former GOP National Chairman Leonard W. Hall. “I've met Len Hall only twice and have only a casual acquaintanceship with him. And it’s been months since I’ve communicated with Gen. Eisenhower,” Romney said. ” t . " Asked if he would accept the ’64 nomination if it were thrown his way, Romney replied sharps iy- : - — ■ “That is so remote and unlikely that it would be absolutely presumptuous and foolish on my part to comment on it.” Meets With Goldwater The governor said he met with Goldwater, leader of the GOP’s conservative wing,, on his trip and expressed “the hope that his situation would not lead to a division in party ranks.” Asked what he meant by Goldwater’s “situation,” Romney said he was referring to “organizations that are being formed to support his candidacy." “The moss Important issue is maintaining unity within the par ty,” said the governor. The governor plans to flw to Washington Thursday for a GOP senatorial committee dinner. He said he was asked to attend the I dinner along with other party leaders "as a show of Republican strength.” .<

Extortion Charged To Illinois Mayor

STREATOR, Hl. (UPD— Shocked residents of this small Illinois city expressed disbelief today at the arrest of, their popular mayor sos extortion. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBD agents snapped a trap on Ray Sopher, in a plush cocktail lounge in Chicago Tuesday shortly after he received about $3,000 in cash from a sewage system equipment firm. Only hours earlier, Sopher told a festive crowd attending his swearing in ceremonies that during his second term he planned to resurface the alleys, build a golf course and bpy a water plant?” “It’s really been a shock here,” one citizen said. Some persons questioned how much politics was involved in the arrest of the 'man who had won a near 2-to-l victory in the mayoralty election less than a month ago. Others asked if he Were as guilty as the circumstances indicated. Firm Official Informs The FBI said Sopher was charged with “having affected commerce and movement of material being shipped from Kansas to Streator by extortion of a substantial amount of money.” Special agent in charge M. W. Johnson said the trap was set up after an official. of the firm, Smith and Loveless Inc., Lenexa, Kan., informed the FBI of the alleged extortion. The FBI agent in charge declined to reveal the amount of money involved but said it was

recovered. U.S. Dist. Atty- James P. O'Brien said about $3,000-10 per cent of a $30,000 sewage equipment transaction — was involved. Sopher was arraigned before U.S. Commissioner C. S. Bentley Pike Tuesday night and released on SI,OOO bond. The hearing was continued with the date open. The FBI said evidence in the case probably would be presented to a federal grand jury “in the near future.” ■ Sopher returned to Streator. Married, the father of one son and three daughters and the grandfather of qne, Sopher, 48, was elected to his first four-year term as mayor in 1959. Tells Os Kickbacks B. Alden Smith, managing director of Smith and Loveless, said “kickbacks” had been imposed more than two years ago, shortly after the firm began negotiations with officials of the city of 22,500 for the purchase and installation of factory-built sewage lift stations. “In early April, 1961, our representatives attended a meeting of city officials at Streator and were told that our prices and specifications on the equipment were acceptable, but that we wpuld have to agree to pay, them, in cash, a ‘kick-back’ amounting to 10 per cent of the sale price before they would approve the order,” Smith said. Smith said he was unsuccessful in persuading the city officials to proceed under legal circum- ' stances.

Telstar Satellite On Definite Course NEW YORK (UPD — Despite weak signals received at French tracking station, Telstar 2, the newest communications satellite, is very much ori' course, a spokesman for American Telephone & Telegraph Co. said today. Once it is in orbit, “a satellite doesn’t get off course,” the spokesman said. “It just continues to go around and around.” He traced weak signals received Tuesday night at Pleumeur Bodou, France, to an “inauspicious slant range” and “attitude” of the satellite. The “slant range” of Telstar 2, or its distance in space from tracking stations, was especially great 'Tuesday night, he said. This, he added, will improve as the satellite’s orbit changes in relation to tracking stations on earth. The “attitude” of the “bird,” he said, had put its antenna for receiving signals on the far side of the satellite. Thus scheduled transmissions tests for a pass of the Telstar were canoelled early today: The gleaming space vehicle, launched Tuesday at Cape Canaveral, had a trajectory “as close to normal as any we have had to date,” according to Robert H. Gray, a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. At Goonhilly Downs, England, a spokesman for the British tracking station said he had “heard nothing about” the French report of trouble with the satellite. He said the station had picked up a “good” picture from Telstar early today.
