GOP Congressmen Propose New Plan

WASHINGTON (UPD—A Congress that has grown weary of farm subsidies seemed content today to let wheat farmers have a taste of the free enterprise program for which they voted. Although the congressional attitude may change in the coming months, the prevailing sentiment today was against enactment of any legislation to moderate the consequences for wheat farmers ATHLETE'S FOOT GERM HOW TO KILL IT.

of their refusal to submit to strict production control? on the 1964 crop. This was ■ so even though a handfuT of farm belt Republicans vowed they would “pound away” in an attempt to bring pressure on Congress to enact new wheat legislation. The wheat growers in a national referendum Tuesday rejected President Kennedy's new control program. Only 47.7 per cent voted for it. The plan required a 66.7 per cent majority to become effective. Supports Will Drop As a result, if no new- legislation is enacted, government price

supports for wheat will drop from $2 a bushel to around $1.25 a bushel at about the time that the 1964 “ presidential election campaign is getting under way. Moreover, only those growers who voluntarily comply with planting restrictions will be assured $1.25. Other growers will have no price guarantees. “I don't know,” Kennedy replied when he war asked at his news confefence Wednesday; what the political consequence of this would be for him in the 1964 elections, —t— — The President said that wheat growers had chosen freedom to produce without controls and without high price supports. “Even though I didn’t agree with the choice," he said, “1 recognize and accept it and we hope that it does not have an adverse effect.” After Kennedy and Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman had made it clear that the administration was not planning to

propose new legislation, three Republicans in the house announced they had joined in sponsoring a’ bill. The three were Reps Albert H. Quie, Minn., Robert Dole, Kan., and Don L. Short, N.D. New Bill Provisions Their legislation would provide minimum price support of $1.62 a bushel for 1964-crop wheat produced by growers who voluntarily hold their plantings below the levels that were proposed in Kenne-, dy's program. The plan also ■would provide separate cash ayments to farmers who joined in the program. The three congressmen said they hoped to get other Republicans to back the proposal. Kennedy told newsmen it would be difficult to get any bill through Congress. In an understatement, he said '.There is no indication that there is a consensus on agricultural matters in the Congress.” However, Kennedy said he

would be willing to take a look at any plan that was "not excessive in' cost” that offered hope of reducing* surpluses and maintaining farmers’ incomes. House Democratic Leader Carl Albert, Okla., said he opposed any new legislation and did not believe that wheal growers were i facing "disaster” next year. He said he doubted that as many as five city congressmen would support a ney bill. “There isn’t any human being who can write a wheat program that will satisfy two-thirds of the wheat farmers without putting an unreasonable burden on the taxpayers,” Albert said. But Quie predicted that political pressure would force the Democratic Congress to enact some new legislation. It you nave something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

Strike Threatened By Gary Teachers GARY, Ind. (UPD—More than 1,000 Gary public school teachers threatened today to go on strike unless the school board recognizes their union as a collective bargaining agent. President Charles Smith of the local unit of the American Federation of Teachers said the organization has been recognized since 1937 in Gary by all school boards but the present one. Smith said he is “confident there will be no strike” if the present board agrees to recognize the union “as a duly constituted bargaining agent.” Smith said the dispute has nothing to do with the Indiana State Teachers Association or a desire to have exclusive rights to represent Gary teachers. Asked why the present school board refuses to recognize the teachers’ federation. Smith said “they just don’t like unions.” Authorization for a strike was given Wednesday when the AFT unit held a meeting to discuss the situation. A strike would affect more than 40 schools. Smith said salary schedules are not a factor in the dispute. Dr. Leßoy Bingham, president of the board, could not be reached for comment on the situation. Files Recount Suit In Gary Mayor Race CROWN POINT, Ind. (UPI) — Edgar L. Sherard, who received less than one per cent of the total vote cast in the Democratic contest May 7 for the Gary mayor nomination, filed a recount suit Tuesday in Lake Circuit Court. Sherard got 351 votes and was eighth in a nine-way race won by City Judge A. Martin Katz with 19.850. Sherard’s complaint charged “mistake or fraud” gave the nomination to Katz. He asked a recount in 75 of Gary’s 131 precincts. Bo d y Os Ma n I s Found In Auto WASHINGTON, Ind. (UPD—The body of Norwood H.

When people think of housecleaning, their minds turn instinctively to spring. Renewal of life and renewal of property go hand in hand. “With the postal servies, it’s much the same,” says postmaster John Boch. “Though we like to keep people conscious all year round of the need for proper mailreceiving equipment, we put special emphasis on clean-up and fix-up projects in the spring when the public is especially in the mood. “Next to the people who live there, no one comes to anyone’s home as often as the mailman. And few calls are more important than those the mailman makes. To , the success of our business and social lives, his visits are indispensable.

Frost iced unprotected tender vegetation over a broad area believed to have encompassed the entire state, and the state's midsection appeared to have fared the best of any area in the rare sweep of chilly weather so late in the season. Temperatures ranged down to a sub-freezing 30 at Lafayette, 31 at South Bend and Fort Wayne, 34 at Evansville and 37 at Indianapolis. . At Indianapolis, the 37-degree low at dawn was the coldest temperature ever recorded on May 23 in 92 years of weather statistics. The oid mark was 38 registered in 1883 and duplicated in 1917. Fort Wayne’s 31 also was an alltime low for the date. Evansville’s 34 broke records with ease. The old mark for May 23 was 41, set in 1917. It also was the coldest temperature ever recorded there so late in the season. Effects of the frost and freeze on such tender crops as tomatoes and strawberries and other garden vegetables could not be de- 1

People put up all sorts of odd things: cigar boxes, oil cans, cheese boxes, coffee tins, etc. And they put them in odd places where they are not immediately visible and easily accessible to the carrier.” Postmaster Boch is anxious always to give good service. “You can assist him in that worthy ambition by making sure your mail box is: “1. Adequate in size, of approved design, and in good repair. “2. Clearly visible and readily accessible. “3 Locked, if in an apartment house or otherwise unprotected. “4. Properly identified. “5.

If you have questions call 3-3205.” termined immediately. _ Warnings that frost and freezing temperatures were due were sounded by the Weather Bureau for many hour's before the cold spell hit, and there was plenty of advance notice of what to expect. Temperatures climbed Wednesday to points no higher than 49 at South Bend, 52 at Fort Wayne, 57 at Indianapolis and 61 at Evansville. Highs today will range from 58 to 64, and highs Friday will range into the upper 60s. There was a chance of scattered frost again tonight in central and south portions with lows ranging from 35 to 43 south, 37 to 42 north and in the upper 30s central. Mostly fair skies were expected through Saturday, with the cold relaxing its grip in a warming trend Saturday. _ Divorce Suit Filed In Allen Superior A suit for divorce, charging cruelty, has been filed in Superior court I, Allen county, against Owen Wemboff by his wife, Phyllis, of 7428 Capri Drive, Fort Wayne.
