Problem Is Posed By Righf-Of-Enlry A problem involving right-of-way onto a plot of ground adjacent to the proposed Pleasant Mills bridge site occupied most of the time at Monday's meeting of the Adams county commissioners. D. Burdette Custer, representing his mother, Mrs. C. L. Custer of Pleasant Mills, who owns the property in appeared at the meeting at the request of the commissioners. The proposed approach to the bridge will cut diagonally through the corner lot owned by Mrs. Custer, on which is located a house trailer and patio. Construction on the bridge was slated to begin soon, but could not start until right-of-ehtry was given on the Custer property so that workmen and equipment could move to and from the bridge site. State representative Burl Johnson and Wendell Macklin also appeared at the meeting to request that the, commissioners work with them and Custer to find a solution to the problem. When Custer appeared at the meeting he suggested that the head of the state highway department be contacted to see if the approach to the bridge could be relocated so that the trailed would not have to be moved. He pointed out that if the route cuts diagonally as planned there would not be enough room left on the lot to locate’the trailer. Therefore, he said, he would not grant right-of-entry onto the land until a final decision had been heard from the highway department. A representative of the highway department appeared at the meeting to inform the commissioners that if such details as right-of-entry are not settled immediately so that construction can begin, the money appropriated for the bridge will be re-appropriated to some other area. He explained that if this was done it would be &me time

before funds would be .again available for construction. Custer, Johnson and two of the commissioners, Delmas Bollenbacher and Hugo Boerger, journeyed to Indianapolis today to talk with highway officials and obtain a decision on re-routing the bridge approach. At the commissioners meeting Johnson and Macklin also said that they had conferred with engineers on the possibility of temporarily repairing the Pleasant Mills covered bridge so that it could be used during the eight to Sen months which will probably be needed to construct the new bridge. They said that this could be accomplishea without too much expense and urged the commissioners to see if some way could not be found io do thjs . Johnson pointed out that the lack of a bridge is hurting Pleasant Mills merchants because farmers on the other side of the stream now drive to Willshire or Decatur to do business. He said that the temporary repair of the bridge would ea«e this situation, as well as solve the transportation problem which will arise when school opens in September.

Query Three U.S. Airmen On Party Girl WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Defense Department is questioning three U.S. airmen about rumors they were “connected" with British party girl Christine Keeler. Assistant Defense Secretary Arthur Sylvester, who had said earlier that no U.S. military personnel were involved in the case, Aid Monday that the airmen Were returned to the United States Friday from Ruislip Air Force Base for questioning. Sylvester said the earlier state,ment, made after British newspapers reported two Air Force sergeants were returned to the United States because of involvement in the affair, referred to the “Profumo case.’’ He said there was no involvement of the airmen in the case of British War Minister John D. | Profumo who resigned his officei after admitting an involvement with Miss Keeler concurrent to! her affair with a Soviet naval I attache. Sylvester said, however, that the airmen were involved in the “Keeler case.” He said “apparently Miss Keeler knew people without any connection with the government.” He said she was acquainted with “people on another echelon.” The. Defense spokesman did not enlarge on the reported connections between the 1 airmen and said he would not identify them "in fairness to them” and because of the “thinness of the ruHe said they were two-non-commissioned officers and an enlisted man from the U.S. 3rd Air Force which has headquar. ters at South Ruislip outside London. Sylvester said the Pentagon wapted to make sure there were no U.S. security aspects involved in the case. The London Daily Express and Daily Herald had reported that two airmen were flown to Wash-1 ington Friday from England. The oapers identified them as Sgt. Charles Lee Wright, Mount Vernon, 111., and Sgt. George Hopkins, Bellaire, Ohio. The air Force would only confirm that Hopkins and Wright had been serving with the 3rd Air Force at South Ruislip. <- Two Geneva People Uninjured In Wreck I>o Geneva residents were iniuj|d when a car and a truck col- , tided near the Gorman Augsburger home in Wabash township.

Brick Sellers Have Two Publications By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON iUPI) — Among the numerous commercial organizations that have headquarters in the nation’s capital is the National Association of Distributors and Dealers of Structural Clay Products. Loosely translated, this means that they sell bricks. Like other organizations, great or small, private or governmental, the National Association of Distributors and Dealers of Structural Clay Products likes to be known by its initials, in this case “NADD.” From time to time, the association will spread culture and enlightenment among the nation’s brick sellers by sending them a publication calling “NADD Magazine.” Also Publish “Clayboy” At other times, it will undertake to enrich their lives by sending I them a publication called “Clayboy.” A friend recently sent me some copies of these publications with a suggestion that they might add. to my own store of knowledge i about brick selling. I appreciated the gesture because, to be frank about it, I have neglected to keep current in this subject. Sometimes I’ll let a whole week slip by without giving it a thought. “NADD Magazine” contains a nice editorial balance of business atricles (how to win a fight with the boss and still keep eating) and philosophic reflections (the most important leg of any threelegged stool is the one that’s missing). Gives Health Hints It also passes along timely health hints, such as these rules for avoiding summer colds: —Don’t fall asleep in the yard with the gate open. —Don’t drink from moist glasses. Brick sellers, however, do not live by mortar alone. Every person needs a bit of spice and levity, which is upplied in abundance by “Clayboy.” One of the features of “Clayboy” is a roundup of the jokes told at the last sales meeting. But like most publications, "Clayboy” has a space problem. This the editors have neatly solved, by printing only the-punch lines. " , It also helps keep them in good standing with the postal authorities. Another feature of “Clayboy” is the “Claymate of the Month,” which is a picture of a pretty girl fully clothed. This is known

as the novelty approach. Taken together, the two publications help brick sellers develop well-rounded personalities. Which is important. If they didn’t do anything but sell bricks all day, their personalities would be rectangular. Party Prop Used To Start Conversation By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI)—In- writing about a “protocol course” to be offered at Southeastern University here this summer, I noted that it would include a lecture on the use of “party props.” A party prop is an obscure news item that can be used to start a conversation at parties. As an example, I cited the fact that 1963 is the 15th anniversary of the discovery of the nesting place of the bristle-thighed curlew. It occurred to me later that, because of the context in which it was mentioned, some readers may have gotten the impression that I was treating the anniversary frivolously. If so, I want to clear that up at once. I fully recognize that the disvoery of the curlew’s nest was an ornithological, milestone. Perhaps it will make us all feel better if we pause for a moment and pay homage to this remarkable achievement. Found In 1948 It was, as you may recall, on June 18, 1948, that word of the discovery reached the waiting world. The news was flashed by Dr. Arthur A. Allen, head of an expedition that the National Geographic Society had sent to Alaska to search for the next. “We have found the curlew’s nest,” Allens aid simply. It was a signal for rejoicing and dancing in the streets, for it cleared up a mystery that had baffled man for 163 years. Ever since 1785, when man first realized that there was such a bird as the bristle-thighed curlew, man had wondered where the darn thing nested. By 1948, the curlew was the only North American bird whose breeding grounds and summer home remain undetected. Things like that are what drive man crazy.

People-To-People Program For India .By HORTENSE MYERS .... United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The friendship of two women—one in India and the other in Indiana—has produced a new people-to-people program on a modest scale. Mrs. Elizabeth Crump, admissions clerk at the Coleman Hospital of Indiana University Medical CenterL first met Miss Lilly Larcius of Moradabad, India, more than a year ago when the latter was enrolled at the I.U. center for training in hospital administration. Miss Larcius was a -frequent house guest at the Crump home during her Indiana stay and attended Shiloh Methodist Church with Mrs. Crump. “She mentioned to me that she was a Methodist and that her father had been a minister but one day he went out and never returned,” Mrs. Crump said. “She thought he was killed because he was a Christian. So I thought the least I could do was to invite her to attend church with me.’’. — Meets Job Problems Then after Miss Larcius returned to India to work as a nursing superintendent in the District & Women’s Hospital at Moradabad, she wrote a letter to her Indiana friend, telling of problems she is facing in her new job. “This is a very old hospital,” she wrote. “There is no arrangemeht for boiling instruments. There are no cradles for children, no hot water, no syringe boxes. Bed sheets are nil.” Mrs. Crump took the letter to her minister, the Rev. William Tresslar, and this week marked the beginning of a campaign within the church to meet at least one of the needs mentioned by Miss Larcius. Collect Bed Sheets Members of the church are collecting bed sheets to send to the hospital in India. Mrs. Crump explained that she felt perhaps a drum-type sterilizer was a pressing need of the Moradabad hospital but that was something she did not know how to obtain at present. “But sheets are something our Women’s Guild can spare now and so we shall start with those,” she said. A sister of Miss Larcius, Shirley, still is studying at the I. U. medical center.

Spain, Portugal Pacts Important

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst When the United States and Spain negotiated their 1953 agreement on U.S. naval and air bases in Spain, both sides won important benefits. The United States won a valuable forward base against Communist aggression and Spain a much-needed economic shot in the arm plus a start toward reentry into the family of nations. Now, amid considerable secrecy but with some of the facts known, they are approaching a re-negotiation of the agreement which expires in September. Both sides seek certain gains. A somewhat similar agreement with Portugal on the strategic U.S. base in the Azores already has expired, with negotiations at present reported deadlocked but by no means abandoned. Affects U.S. Planning Both the Spanish and the Portuguese agreements bear heavily on U.S. strategic planning, especially since President Charles de snub of the Atlantic Alliance, the gain in Communist voting strength in Italy and U.S. hopes for a mixed-nation naval force based on the nuclear-tipped Polaris missile. All of these conditions would seem to be cards in Generalissimo Francisco Franco's hands. There are indications the Spanish asking price is not cheap. The 1953 agreement gave the United States the use of three air bases by the Strategic Air Command, the big naval base at Rota and other installations including naval depots, radar sites and a pipeline system. There is evidence now that the United States would like to make the Rota base available to NATO submarines carrying nuclear ballistic missiles.— . , Seeks NATO Membership In return, Franco wants either Spanish membership in NATO or, at the least, closer political ties with the United States. Spanish membership in NATO has in the past been adamantly opposed by the low countries, Denmark and Norway and, to a lesser degree, by Britain. Spain also wants an increase in economic aid which since 1953 has totaled more than a billion dollars, plus modern military equipment including rockets and missiles. On its part, the United States would prefer that the agreement continue much as it is and to wait as long as possible to determine how Europe’s strategic and political alignments finally are to work out. Aid Must Stop It further has warned Spain that, because of the unfavorable outflow of U. S. gold, free military aid to Spain will have to stop. That, instead, she will expect Spain to spend some $250 million of her own money—on new equipment. The deadlock in the negotiations

with Portugal is on an issue less complex but equally difficult. The 20-year-old agreement with Portugal expired last Dec. 31 but use of the base which is a strategic link with Europe and Africa, has continued. Boiled down to simplicities, the Portuguese are insisting that the United States abandon its support in the United Nations of the AfroAsian nations demanding independence for Angola and Mozambique, Portugal’s two big territories in Africa. Both the Portuguese and the Spanish negotiations go far beyond the mere question of bases. o ( j Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee a o Pillow Washing Hand-wash dacron polyester fiber filled pillows in lukewarm water with soap or non-sudsing detergent.
