Governor Defends Decesion On Wheat

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Welsh defended President Kennedy in his action permitting wheat sales to Russia - And also assured visiting journalists from 11 countries that “racial discrimination must be destroyed.’’ Welsh held a news conference Monday afternoon for working press members from British Guiana, Cyprus, Ethiopia, Greece, Haiti, Israel, Japan, Korea, Peru,' United Arab Republic and Yugoslavia. They are now staying at Indiana University under U.S. State Department sponsorship. Asked about the controversial wheat sale to Russia, Welsh replied that since the United States has surplus wheat and a trade deficit, “if people want to. buy it and pay gold” he thoughf it was a good idea unless there-* were some over-riding foreign policy reason against it. However, Welsh added that “I do not feel competent to judge :on the matter of foreign policy). This is the President’s province and my presumption is that he knows what he is doing.” Several questions were asked about civil rights in the United States and one newsman wanted 1o know why Governor George Wallace of Alabama was able to disregard U.S. Supreme

Court rulings on segregation. “You can’t people states with federal troops,” Welsh explained. “The federal government can lead but it must persuade, it can’t take over state government. It is not a practical matter to enforce by force.” Welsh said- the federal program on civil rights in Alabama and other states is “to keep unrelenting pressure” on local people with the aim that they will come to voluntary compliance. “I’d say 99’/fe per cent of the people pay their federal income tax by voluntary compliance," Welsh explained. Welsh was asked how he managed to get along with a Republican legislature and most elected state officials being Republican since he is a Democrat. "Ninety per cent or more of the' business a legislature conducts is not partisan in nature.” Welsh answered. “This is not an overwhelming obstacle. We get along very well.” Welsh observed that at one time Indiana was considered “strongly Republican” in politics but “it now is .marginal. Any little thing makes a difference which way an election goes.” One visiting newsman, who

apparently had been reading Indiana newspapers carefully, wanted to know what he would do if Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers would refuse to pay Welsh’s special counsel for the winning sales tax defense out of funds allocated to Steers. “We .will meet that problem when we get to it,” Welsh answered briefly. ADENAUER (Continued from Page 1) He said he believes the holdup of a U.S. Army Berlin convoy last weekend is a direct resuit of Soviet attempts to exploit Western euphoria resulting from the wheat deal and other signs of cold war easing. When a reporter suggested that the convoy blocking might have been a mistake by some minor Soviet officer, Adenauer shot back: “Nonsense!” Sent Good Wishes West Germany’s NATO partners sent Adenauer good wishes on his retirement and praised his contribution to the alliance. President Kennedy said Adenauer was the man who “for the first t ime in history banished the danger of another war among the Atlantic Allies’.’ Adenauer himself shares Kennedy’s estimation of his role in making West Germany an ally of the West. In 1949, when a lone vote— Adenauer’s own — put him in office, Germany was still shattered by war, mistrusted by the victors of East and West, and on shaky economic and political foundations. Adenauer, helped by Erhard's economic genius, built his nation of 50 million into one of the most prosperous in Europe. He won it a place in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and made it a keystone of the European Common Market. Officer's Pension Request Approved The city police pension board approved an application to go on pension submitted by Jay H. Minch, at a meeting of the board Monday evening. Minch will go on 50 per cent permanent disability pension, effective Wednesday. He recently submitted his application to go on pension, and it was approved last night. This clears the way for the appointment of current civilian radio operator Pat Nelson to join the department’s uniformed ranks, which is expected to be approved by the city council in its meeting this evening. Jib • EL Or LI ON HIS MIND — Headdress with mountain motifs is just the thing for marching in Munich’s October Festival parades—if you’re a member'of the “Society for Conservation of National Mountain Dress.” This year's festival marked the 130th observance of the eat, drink and be merry fall funfest in the ancient German city.
