leaders of Indiana's Democratic and Republican parties have agreed on the dates for their 1964 slate nominating conventions. Traditionally, the parties’ state chairmen get together and decide on the dates. They then share the cost of decorations, rental of the State Fairgrbunds Coliseum, equipment and other facilities. The party in power holds its convention last to give its orators a chance to answer charges by the “outs.” Democratic Chairman J. Manfred Core and Republican Chairman Robert W. Stewart met

Wednesday and decided to hold the GOP convention Friday, June 19, and the Democratic convention Tuesday, June 23. This was a slight departure from the usual procedure. Normally, both conventions are held the same week with the first on Tuesday and the second on Friday.

Fifty Children Are In Speech Program

Fifty Adams county children — 37 from the Decatur area and 13 from the Berne area — are 1 students in the summer speech program currently being conducted by the Adariis county crippled children’s society. Nancy Bennett and Sue Petrie, assisted by Missy Macylin, conduct the program, which is held in both Berne and Decatur. The speech therapy course was begun by the society in the summer of 1955, with five members, Deane Dorwin, Marie Felber, Rev. William C. Feller, G. M. Grabill and Leslie Sprunger, doing the preliminary organizational work. Each year since then the program has had at least one and usually two qualified speech and hearing therapists to handle group and individual therapy. The program is being conducted over a five-week period, June 17 to July 19, with classes held in two schools, the Decatur Lincoln school and the Berne-French school. Sessions are - held Monday and Tuesday afternoons at Berne and Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings at Decatur. Small Group* Miss Bennett and Miss Petrie work with small groups of three or four children in half-hour sessions. The children are grouped according to age. They are given a half hour of actual therapy work and then spend another 15 minutes doing writing or reading exercises under the supervision of Miss Macylin. The object of the speech the-

rapy work is to teach the students to master the specific sounds with which they have difficulty. Thus each child is instructed in the particular sound such as “s” or “th,” with which he or she has difficulty. The teaching includes speech games and reading coupled with use of such aids as mirrors and pictures. There are also a few students in the program who have hearting difficulties and special therapy, including the use of an audiomet-1 er, is used in working with them. During the speech therapy work the teachers concentrate on one sound at a time and do not move on to another sign until the student has shown progress in mastering the fljrst one. Teacher’s Training Miss Petrie and Miss Bennett are both graduates of Indiana University and both have had special training in the area of child speech and hearing therapy. Besides 60 hours of classroom instruction in that field, they have had special clinical training and both have spent eight weeks in residence at the state home for children with severe speech and hearing defects. At the home they cared for all the needs of the children who were patients there. For the past two years both have been teaching during the regular winter school session at Dowagiac, Mich. Children who are in the program were referred to it by their regular grade school teachers. The teachers in the area submitted a list of some 72 names to the crippled children’s society. Postcards were sent to the parents of these children and 50 of them responded by enrolling their children in the course. Progress Made Miss Bennett and Miss Petrie said that they have made definite progress with every child in the course and both regret the fact that some parents would not enroll their children for the course. Friday, the mothers of the children in the Decatur class will visit the sessions at Lincoln school to be shown what has been .accomplished and to be instructed in methods of continuing the at home. But teachers stressed the fact that the mothers can do much to continue the work they have begun. , Beginning this fall the speech program will become a permanent part of the Decatur school system. Miss Bennett has been hired by the Decatur school system and wall conduct full-time speech .therapy classes during the regular winter school session. She said that while the summer schedule gives her the advantage of working with smaller groups, a full-time arrangement will enable her to devote more time to each child.

Woodford, 22, Indianapolis, was crushed to death Wednesday night when a car on which he was working for a friend slipped off bumper jacks.

Terms Compromise On Port Impractical PORTAGE, Ind. (UPD — A “compromise plan’’ offered by an outspoken foe of Indiana’s port on Lake Michigan is to be discussed this afternoon at a meeting of U.S. Army Enginers with the Indiana Port Commission and representatives of the steel industry here. Sen. Paul H. Douglas, D-111., announced in Washington Wednesday that he and the Save-the-Dunes Council have worked out what was termed a compromise plan whereby Indiana could have a public harbor and a 10,000-acre National Dunes Park could be created. " The plan calls for a small outer harbor at about the same site planned by the Indiana Port Commission near Burns Ditch but ships would be required to go down a channel of about 5,000 feet to a turning basin, rather than load and unload directly from thje lake. Clinton Green, secretary-treas-urer of the Indiana Port Commission, termed the plan “impractical” and said it would create the same problems for the Indiana port which shippers now face at Chicago and want to avoid. An aide of Douglas said the plan would preserve about a halfmile of public beach. He said about 1,000 acres of inland scientific reserve originally included in Douglas’ park plan already has been destroyed by construction work by Bethlehem Steel Co. The “compromise” calls for additional land eastward toward Michigan City to be included in the park which Douglas has sought to have created.

Betancourt Symbol Os Changing Times

By JAMES United Press International CARACAS, Venezuela (UPDRomulo Betancourt is a symbol of changing times. Once, nearly 10 years ago, Betancourt was sniffed at by the U.S. State Department as a “radical leftist.” Now 55 and approaching the end of his term as president of Venezuela, he has won the ticclaim of the United States. When he was received at the White House last Feb. 19 President Kennedy told him,; “You represent all that we admire in a political leader.” Years ago Betancourt flirted with Marxism, but when he went to Washington Kennedy called him the “No. 1 enemy of international communism in this hemisphere.” The United States, impressed with the reforms he has achieved in always - explosive Venezuela, now is reported considering him as the man needed to help bolster the sagging Alliance For Progress program once his term expires next March. — Nothing Os Future Betancourt has said nothing about post-presidential ambitions (under the constitution he would not even be eligibile to run for another 10 years) beyond expressing the wish to take an extended vacation and do some writing. But he long has been an open and fervent admired of the alliance and had launched’ Venezuela on major social and economic reforms envisioned by the alliance before President Kennedy announced the program. - Betancourt’s time in government so far have been a succession of crises. The real triumph is that he—and elective democracy —ever got this far. No elected president of Venezuela ever has lasted so lonfc. In four and a half - years; he has had to: —Put down four major military rebellions. —Ride out the disintegration of a three-party coalition when the second largest partner in his government left the party in a squabble over Cuba policy. Endured Party Splits —Endure two splits within his own party. —Battle continuing subversion and violence, at first largely Indiana’s Legion Convention Opens INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The annual state convention of the American Legion opened here today with a threat of at least a partial boycott by Negro legionnaires protesting the racial policies of the Legion’s funmaking organization, the 40 & 8. It appeared, however, that the protest would not be as strong as Legion officials first feared when they learned of the formation of a committee protesting the association of the Legion’s Department of Indiana with the 40 & 8 which bars Negroes from membership. The protest stems from the fact that the 40 & 8, also holding its state convention here, will participate in some of the Legion activities, including a joint session to be addressed by Governor Welsh Friday and the annual parade Saturday night. Welsh, a Legion member, turned down the committee’s request that he cancel his speech. He said his invitation had come from the Legion, not the 40 & 8, Indianapolis Mayor Albert Losche also turned down the group’s request that he cancel the Legion’s parade permit. Losche said the city always has “permitted the American Legion to parade. Whatever the internal problems of the American Legion, that is up to There had been rumors that the protests would include a sitdown demonstration in an attempt to block the parade but Marcus Tuttle of Richmond, chairman of the protest group, said the committee planned to try “peaceful persuasion.” * The committee will introduce a resolution at the convention urging that the 40 & 8 drop its “white male only” membership clause or be disbanded. Top state Legion officials said they also would work for removal of the racial clause in the 40 A 8 bylaws.

from the rightist remnants of the Perez Jimenez clique, but lately from the Communists with vocal and active support’ of Fidel Castro. ' - —Survive at least two attempts on his life, one of which nearly succeeded and left his hands and face scarred for life. I Perhaps even more remarkable than the mere fact of survival is what Betancourt has been able to accomplish despite the pressures on him. He has steered the country through a severe economic recession into a clear recovery. He has undertaken massive ex. Knsion of the school systems, so at nearly twice as many children are in classrooms today as in 1958, and illiteracy has been chopped from more than 40 to 23 per cent. He has laid the base for industrialization of a country which grew rich—and totally dependent—on a single commodity oil. Taken Communist Support And he has stolen the thunder—and popular support—of the Communists, by providing ~ reform through peaceful, democratic means. This explains their resorting now to violence. For Rumulo Betancourt, the big test will come, however, early in March of next year. That is when Rumulo Betancourt is supposed to turn over the presidency to a freely elected successor, to be chosen in elections late this year. That has never before happened in Venezuela. And if it does happen, if democracy is given a solid foundation, then Romulo Betancourt’s greatest ambition will have been realized.

Sino-Soviet Talks Thought Near To End MOSCOW (UPD — Chinese and Soviet delegates did not show up for talks on their worsening ideological dispute today, indicating another recess had been called in the conference. There was no announcement, but newsmen waiting outside the conference site in a villa on the outskirts of Moscow said neither delegation arrived. The usual pattern of the talks has been one day off and one day on, and talks were held Wednesday. Western observers believed the talks were near an end, and that the departure of the Peking delegation could be expected any day. k Diplomats said it is China’s turn to make the next move in the public attacks that have accompanied the talks, gaining in bitterness as the conference progressed. The last attack of major proportions came from Russia. In a 25,000-word statement published in Sunday’s Pravda, it accused Peking of being a racist power intent on war and determined to split the Communist camp. (China’s replies have been only indirect, but a blast of full force was expected soon to answer the Pravda charges. (Today, Peking Radio, , monitored in Tokyo, made clear to its listeners the contrast between Soviet warmth toward the Western nuclear negotiators in Moscow and the snubs against the Chinese. (It quoted extensively from Western reports of the friendly reception given te hallies. The point was clearly, Although indirectly, made that Premier Nikita Khrushchev was jovial with British and American o fficials and cold to the equally important Chinese negotiators. (It warned that the United States’ aim was to "poison SovietChinese relations,” implying that Khrushchev was too gullible to realize this.) Eddie Fisher Denies Plans For Marriage LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPD — Singer Eddie Fisher, estranged husband of actress Elizabeth Taylor, has denied rumors he plans to marry New York model Renata Boeck. “I don't know what my plans are,” said Fisher Wednesday when asked about the rumors. "We are good friends. She’s visiting here in Las Vegas,” added the singer.
