Wheat Legislation Unlikely This Year

WASHINGTON (UPI)—"It will be a black day for all people if we do not take this first step for peace.” “It is another give-in to the Reds.” These conflicting views on whether the United States should sign the nuclear test ban treaty with Russia were among more than 2,000 letters and telegrams that have poured into the White House on the issue. Both messages came from California. The White House reported that messages to President Kennedy were running about 12 to 1 in favor of the test ban agreement. It gave reporters a look Wednesday at a random selection of the letters and telegrams received since Kennedy’s address to the nation Friday night. A telegram from Washington state told the President that “fathers ana mothers thank you’’ and one from Brooklyn said “anybody opposing the treaty should have his head examined.” A Democratic club in California telegraphed praise for the treaty and urged "more high level ences." "It is our opinion that this proposal is nothing more than a victory for the cowardly pacifists,” a Chicago couple wrote. “We feel that you are , naive to think that the American people should be expected to think that they can rely on the signature of the Soviet Union.’’ Another Chicagoan asked “how many times does the West have to be sucked in by Russia before she finally realizes that any peaceful-seeming concession such as the test ban treaty is merely another chess move in Russia’s i game to win the world?” “If we are foolish enough to ; disarm, then communism has us 1 bound and will take over,” a Montana couple wrote. i From Arizona came a telegram ] opposing the treaty, saying that t Khrushchev should be made to 5 tear down the Berlin wall and remove Russian troops from Cuba ) and other countries. j Need Foolproof Inspection v “A test ban without an absolute i foolproof inspection is suicide,” said a telegram from West Palm t Beach, Fla. 1 A Philadelphia woman wrote t that the treaty “will stop future j fallout, will lessen the arms race t and might even lead to disarma- 1 ment.” A letter from Madison, 1 Wis. said it was “reassuring to. ’ know that our water and food will I1

be less contaminated with strontium.” “You said what urgently needs to be said and you said it with power and authority,” a letterwriter in Nashville, Tenn., told Kennedy. “Even FDR could not have done better.” A letter from Urbana, 111., said history may record the treaty as the most significant action of the Kennedy administration. House Group In Agreement On Aid Bill WASHINGTON (UPI) — The House Foreign Affairs Committee agreed today on a foreign aid bill totaling slightly more than $4 billion, or about $437 million less than President Kennedy sought. Rep. Thomas Morgan, D-Ja., chairman of the committee, .announced after a closed-door session that the total approved was $4,087,075,000. The President originally asked Congress for $4,525,325,000. Administration sources subsequently indicated however that he could get along with less. Morgan said a final committee vote on the bill would be taken next week, but that this was only a formality. The committee approved an amendment calling upon the industrialized nations to assume a greater share of the burden of aiding the underdeveloped countries. The bill contains a ban on further U.S. aid to Indonesia unless Presideht Kennedy makes a formal finding that such assistance is vital to U.S. interests. The committee also inserted a prohibition against more »arms aid to African countries bevond what they need for "reasonable” internal security requirements. At the same time, the comrtiittee said in advance that if Cqpan Premier Fidel Castro is overthrown, the new government would not receive any U.S. Sugar ouota or aid money unless at least 50 per cent of American property seized bv Castro is returned. Communist Cuba does not receive U.S. assistance.

Maloney To Ask For Rural Route Vacancy Dick Maloney, rural mail carrier on route 5, plans to ask for route 1 if that route is after Thomas Miller’s resignation becomes official this Saturday, it was learned today. According to post office regulations, each rural carrier, in order of seniority, has a chance at a vacant routa if he wants it, and if the department decides the route is still necessary. Gerald R. Durkin, oldest mail carrier in terms of service, and Harold Hoffman, second oldest turned down the route. Mail carriers this year started drawing overtime pay based on the average number of hours it takes them to complete their routes. Since route 5 is the only route not needing overtime, it is one of the least desirable routes, and Maloney, third in line, desired route one. This means that route 5 will soon be vacant Miller, who resigned last week, still had vacation time coming, and the route will not be officially vacant until that time expires. Nearly every Democrat in the post office has signified interest in the route, once it becomes vacant. Severe Racial Outbreak In Chicago Today By United Press International Hundreds of rock-throwing whites staged Chicago’s worst racial outbreak in several years early today in front of the apartments of two Negro families who moved into a previously all-white neighborhood. The area was blocked off, taverns closed and extra police summoned. The FBI and sth Army Headquarters were alerted. There was fear the outbreak would spread to other parts of Chi- j cago’s South Side where most of the city’s 800,000 Negroes live. Officers arrested at least 37 persons during the melee in which four policemen were hiirt. Two Negro boys were knocked off their bicycles and beaten. It was the third night of demonstrations outside an apartment building into which the Negro families recently had moved. The Negro section begins about one block south of the building, located in a white working class neighborhood. Violence also erupted briefly at two other racial demonstrations in the nation Wednesday but police quickly restored order in both instances. Civil rights pickets at a construction project in Brooklyn, N.Y., clashed with police who formed a solid line and backed the demonstrators off a street. One Negro was arrested during the pushing and shoving melee. It was the first violence at picket lines thrown around city construction sites by demonstrators demanding more construction jobs for Negroes and Puerto Ricans. At Anderson, S.C., two white men attacked two of 11 Negroes being served in a formerly allwhite lunch counter in a downtown department store. Police arrested the whites on assault charges. The Negroes were part of groups totaling about 50 who got service in a number of Anderson eating establishments. Four white men demonstrating against lunch counter desegregation were arrested at Birmingham, Ala., Wednesday on charges of parading without a permit. Phil Isch Winner In Weed Project Winners of the weed project at the 4-H fair were announced Wednesday. This project included displays of various types of weeds. The winners were:'first, Phil Isch, French Happy Hoosiers; second, Kelly Wheeler, Hartford Happy Hoosiers; third, Steve Strouse, Root Roving Rangers; fourth, Steven Randolph, Hartford Hoosier Workers; fifth, Kathy Christman, Blue Creek Up and At It. Dianne Lindsey Is Doq Project Winner Winners of the dog project judging were announced this morning at the Adams county 4-H fair. Dianne Lindsey, a member of the Hartford Happy Go Lucky 4-H group, placed first with her German shephard. The other winners were: second, Erma Stauffer, Hartford Happy Go Lucky; third, Judy Bultemeier, Preble Peppy Pals; fourth, Charlotte, Moser, Hartford Happy Go Lucky; .fifth, Cathy Cauble, Kirkland Kut-Ups. That Gray Look To clean that faded gray look from furniture, wring a soft, wet cloth nearly dry and dip it sparingly in green soap, obtainable at most drugstores. Rub on a small area, wipe with a clean, damp cloth, and polish dry. It's a good idea to test the effect of this treatment on hidden place first.

First Aid Workers At Fair Not Busy The Red Cross first aid station at the 4-H had treated only 36 cases as of Thursday morning — or 35, as sewing an embarrasing rip in a pair of pants does not qualify as medical aid. Most of the injuries have been minor and the treatment Has ranged from aspirin to band aids. Thus far only one case of fainting, which ocurred Wednesday night, has been treated. Thirty-three people, working in shifts of two, staff the trailer. Four Flying Farmers Tour Laboratories Four area members of the Flying Farmers, a national flyers’ organization, flew to Indianapolis Monday, where they met other members for a tour of the Eli Lilly laboratories.

The four who made the trip were Earl Mounsey, route 5, Decatur, Lester Kuhlman of the Wert airport, Josephine Richardson of the Decatur Hi-Way Airport and Raymond Franz of route 3, Deeatur. The weather for the flight morning was classified as ‘marginal,” but despite this some 50 planes flew to Indianapolis for the tour.
