Less Costly System To Maintain Roads A recently completed study indicates that Indiana's 1,120-mile interstate route system when completed will cost by itself $5,000,00 a year to maintain. Few highway experts deny that this is an investment well spent. Taxpayers, however, are due for a break. Quietly and without fanfare, the Indiana state highway commission, with express authority and direction from Governor Matthew E. Welsh, has installing a revoluntionary new system for maintaining highway, easly more efficient than the system that has existed since the early. 1930'5. Known as the unit system in highway parlance, the new system is based on one premdse — a specialist can do more than a handy man and he can do better. With the old system, a patrol crew using a relatively expensive two and one-half ton truck made one or two trips daily over a 12 to 18 mile section of road, perjbrming various jobs, which was a slow operation calling for a jack-of-all-trades crew. The state had 565 such patrols in April of 1962. The unit system calls for dividing each of the state’s 36 subdistricts into four or five units, with each unit consisting of about 75 miles of highway, about five time the mileage covered by the old patrol crews. One man in a

light, fast and less expensive pickup truck patrols the entire mileage. The heavy trucks are saved for the heavy work and bigger jobs, and the patrolman is backed up by a 10-man crew. Radio contact is used and a series of tasks are lined completed in a short time. Patroling trucks have been reduced from 565 dump trucks tp 145 pick-up trucks and large savings are being reaped in maintenance, repairs, gasoline and oil consumption and initial cost of the vehicles. , These efficiencies were worked out in theory more than a year ago. The state highway commission decided to implement Governor Welsh’s program first in one of the six state highway districts, the Vincennes district. The one-year trial was so successful in the Vincennes district that the state highway commission put the unit system in effect in stages in the other five highway districts. Take Bids On Bridge At Pleasant Mills Word has been received form the Indiana state highway commission that bids for the construction of the new Pleasant Mills bridge will be taken by the commission until July 25. The commission said that plans and proposals for the bridge may be examined at the state office building in Indianapolis. The specifications include construction of the bridge and the approaches. The bids will be read at 10 a.m., July 25 at the state office building.

Early Wynn *> Again Fails To Win 300th j < By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer There’s no sentiment in base- 1 ball—none for a 43-year-old guy trying for his 300th victory and none for a floundering last-place ‘ team. rAsk Early Wynn of the Cleveland Indians, who needs just one more triumph to achieve the im- ’ mortality that goes with winning ! 300 big league games. Ana, if you ' don’t believe him, ask the Washington Senators, who can use a victory any old time just to prove < they belong in the majors. For the second time in eight i days, Wynn's former White Sox 1 teammates spoiled his try for No. 300 even though the Indians ral- < lied in the ninth to pull out a 1 4-3 triumph. The Minnesota Twins, meanwhile, cut the hapless Senators into little pieces with 11-4 and 10-3 victories that ran their winning streak to six games and moved them to within a game and a half of the American League lead. Harmon Killebrew’s six hits led the Minnesota musclemen, who slammed four homers, two triples and two doubles during the doubleheader. Bosox Defeat Yankees The Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees, 4-3, the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels split 8-3 victories in a twinight doubleheader and the Baltimore Orioles nipped the Kansas City Athletics, 2-1, in other American League games. The the National League, the St. Louis Cardinals walloped the Houston Colts, 9-2, the Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-3, the Pittsburgh Pirates topped the New York Mets, 3-1, the Milwaukee Braves shaded the Los Angeles Dodgers, 1-0, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds, 7-37 - ' Rookie Pete Ward, who was born the same year Wynn started out in the major leagues (1939), led the assault on the old pro with two doubles. Wynn, beaten by the White Sox the week before, was tagged for five hits and three runs in six innings. Ted Aberrihthy, who -pitched the last two innings, picked up the victory when singles by Jose Azcue, Woody Held, Tito Francona, a fielder’s qhoice and Willie Kirkland’s bunt-single produced two runs for the Indians in the ninth. Heavy Hitting Killebrew had a homer and a double, Earl Battey a homer and rookie Jim Mall two triples in the Twins’ 12-hit opening-game attack. Harmon had four more hits and John Goryl and Vic Wertz hit homers in the nightcap. Bill

Pleis went the distance for his first win in the opener and Jim Kaat wentj» 1-3 innings for his eighth victory in the second game. Dick Radatz, making his eighth appearance in nine games, yielded a game-tying homer to Elston Howard but won his seventh game when the Red Sox tallied against Hal Reniff in the eighth on a walk and singles by Carl Yastrzemski and Frank Malzone. Yastrzemski and Malzone had two hits each for the Red Sox. Leon Wagner had four hits, including his 17th and 18th homers of the season, as the Angels' Art Fowler gained his third win in the first gam*. Rocky Colavito’s two homers, including a three-run shot that seven-run eighth-inning rally and brought Mickey Lolich his third triumph. Russ Snyder’s ninth-inning homer enabled the Orioles’ Steve Barber to become the AL’s first 12game winner of the season. Barber, 12-1 against Kansas City lifetime, struck out five and walked only one. Luis Aparicio had two hits for the Orioles.

KENNEDY (Continued from Page One) by to De Valera’s wife, Senead. e He darted back through the U.S. Marine honor guard, took the tiny, white-haired Mrs. de Valera in his arms and gave her 1 a big kiss on the cheek. Then, as the crowd cheered, 1 Kennedy waved, boarded the heli-; ’ copter and was gone from the city that turned itself inside out ' to honor him. He arrived in Galway an hour . later. i Looking back on the trement dous receptions Kennedy has rei ceived since he arrived in Ireland i Wednesday night from Berlin, the i Dublin Evening Press headlined i in large black type, -“A FANt TASTIC TRIUMPH!” “Jack’s The. Boy!” trumpeted the Dublin Evening Herald. Veterans of presidential tours said Ireland’s reception of one of their “favorite sons” has surpassed virtually everything they > have seen. Irish Premier Sean Lemass was traveling with Kennedy in the presidential helicopter to Galway and Limerick where Kennedy was
receiving the freedom of both cities. Among the crowds at Limerick for the ceremony were most of the 700 people of Bruth, a town 20 miles to the south, which is the birthplace of John F. (Honey I Fitz) Fitzgerald, Kennedy’s ma- - ternal grandfather. The President went to the old i Kennedy homestead at Dungans- ■ town Thursday add received a , warm welcome from some of his . distant relatives. t Kennedy’s visit to Ireland has ' been a nostalgic and relaxed one, a deep contrast to his tour of f West Germany and Berlin and his . anticipated weekend visit to Britt ain. From Britain he goes to » Italy before returning to Washi ington.
