Slate Office Hopefuls Hit Campaign Trail By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— It’s a year until the state conventions nominate candidates for U. J?, senator, governor and other state offices. Nevertheless, despite the sizzling temperatures and the legislative curse, the ambitious ones in both parties are hitting the campaign trails steadily. State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager, Elkhart, aspirant for the Republican senatorial bid, has delivered nearly a score of speeches over the state since the legislature ended. He opened the Frankfort city election campaign Sunday. His biggest round of applause came when he maintained that Governor Welsh proposed a budget $262 million higher than the one the GOP finally supported. Alex Campbell, Democratic national committeeman, still is pressuring Dr. Herman B Wells, former Indiana University president, to run for governor. But he admitted a few days ago that he has had no luck to date. Lemon Squeezing Former Bloomington Mayor Tom Lemon, who seeks the Democratic nomination for governor, continues his travels over the state. He scheduled a speech at the convention of the Indiana Negro Elks As-

DOOMED COVERED BRIDGE, at Pleasant Mills, one of the last two in the county, was allowed to get in such a state of disrepair by the state highway department that it has had to be closed. The barricade, , on one side, has been painted with “Good-bye, Bridge,” as the arrow indicates. The 80-year-old landmark is scheduled to be wrecked before a new bridge is built downstream from the present location. Work was originally planned in 1959, but was postponed when people objected; no work was done on the bridge’s foundation, however, and on the south side it has been damaged so that the bridge is now closed. School buses have been routed around it for a year, as have the heavy stone trucks. ’ > — (Photo by Mac Lean)

sociation. State Sen. Marshall Kizer, Plymouth, is reported to have claimed Statehouse backing in his drive for ' the Democratic gubernatorial title. Oratorical and hand-shaking tours ; have been waged by Secretary of ' State Charles O. Hendricks and State Treasurer Robert Hughes, who are suspected of running for governor or lieutenant governor. Former Sen. William E. Jenner has admitted he is plugging for Hughes and appears to take a dim view of Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, the front runner for’the Republican gubernatorial bid. That doesn’t seem to faze Ristine. He admits to delivering Nearly 5 speeches since the legislators finally left town. He will step up his campaigning in late July and August when, as state commissioner of agriculture, he will crown the beauty queens, with appropriate oratory and osculation, at numerous county fairs. Brademas Report A boomlet for the Democratic vice - presidential nomination for Rep. John Brademas, South Bend liberal is developing, according to reports. Diey don’t seem to jibe with the recent renewed activity of Vice-President Lyndon Johnson, who has delivered a number of important speeches during the last, few weeks. The Brademas rumor came from a prominent GOP leader. Sometimes the Republicans know more about the Democrats than the Democrats —and vice versa. Much of the Hoosier campaigning for 1964 is disguised as oratory in behalf of the candidates for mayor and city offices preceding the election this fall.

Anti-Kennedy Move In South Failure

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International The southern segregationist effort to prevent President Kennedy's re-election by offering southern voters slates of unpledged presidential electors in the onetime solid South has huffed and puffed itself into a dead end. Alabama and Mississippi will have slates of unpledged electors. Georgia may have an unpledged slate at the will of the state Democratic organization. But the project was voted down last week in Louisiana and seems to have run out of gas in Florida. Alabama Georgia and Mississippi have 10, 12 and 7 electros, respectively. The device of the unpledged slates of presidential electors is designed to prevent the electoral college from casting a 'majority vote for president. That Could happen if the total electoral vote were split three ways. There are 538 votes in the electoral college. The bare majority sufficient to elect is 270 votes. The UJS. Constitution provides that the president shall be elected by the House of Representatives when the electoral college is unable to elect. The Constitution also provides that if the question should reach the House, each state shall cast only one vote. Southerners have been dreaming and hoping for such a presidential election in which their states would possess a balance of power. If all of the Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia electors were unpledged next year, they could be -Withheld from or cast for the candidate of either major party. If the major candidates split the remaining 515 electoralvotes about evenly, it is obvious that the major candidate who could attract most or all of the 23 unpledged votes would be elected president. J That was a pretty dream while

it lasted. Some of the supporters of Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., had been enjoying that dream. Their dream was that the unpledged elector device would enable southern conservatives to cast a vote for Goldwater without actually voting for a slate of Republican presidential electors. And it did seem reasonable to believe that Southerners who went to a lot of trouble to elect unpledged electors would not thereafter permit those electors to assure Kennedy’s re-election. Whatever merit there may have been in the theory that a conservative Republican would be the ultimate beneficiary of the unpledged elector strategy, the thing remains wholly theoretical. If the Republican nominee for president hopes next year to bbtalnmajbr support in the South, he will have to go into the southern states and. campaign for their support. The collapse of the unpledged elector plan will add to the pressure on Republican politicians to come soon to a frank, firm and public announcement of race relations policy. This will be pressure on individual Republicans morethan on the party as such. The party speaks with 1,000 voices and confuses policy, accordingly. Individuals, however, can speak clearly and the time is running out on all hands tc speak up. “Clickless” Tape Recorder Does your tape recorder leave an audible “click” on the tape every time you depress the stop button while recording?

U. S. Concern Mounts Over Diem Regime By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst The saffron robes of the Buddhist monks and the gleaming Buddhist temples are as much a part of Southeast Asia as the monsoons and the rice paddies. Buddhism is the state religion of Thailand. Laos is Buddhist and in South Viet Nam it is estimated that 70 per cent of the population is Buddhist. Which helps to explain mounting United States concern over the harsh repressive measures of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diems government against the Buddhist majority there. As a religious dispute between the Catholic president and the Buddhists, it is an internal matter. Its effect upon a war in which the United States is deeply committed and upon the feelings of millions of Southeast Asians toward the United States is still another. For, like it or not, and many Americans in South Viet Nam, do not, the United States is committed to win the anti-Communist struggle ii) South Viet Nam on a slogan “win with Diem.” The. United States is doing its best to disassociate itself from the present dispute. UPI correspondent Neil Sheehan reported on the basis of reliable sources in Saigon that, privately, U.S. Deputy chief of Mission William Trueheart has urged Diem to settle the quarrel and get on with the war. U.S. military commander Gen. Paul D. Harkins has ordered all American military advisers not to accompany Vietnamese units suppressing Buddhist demonstrations. But this counts for little when the Vietnamese use easily identifiable airplanes and equipment obtained through American aid in their repressive actions and in-

delibly link the United States with them. From Saigon sources, Sheehan reports that the United States so far has refrained from publicly rebuking Diem out of fear of losing what little influence it now has with his government. But U.S. representatives are finding it more and more difficult to maintain a position that Diem is leading a broad, popular movement, when at the same time it is obvious he is in deep political trouble with a majority of his own population.
