Many Hoosier Editors Serve State Without Pav

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD —This is National Newspaper Week and perhaps an appropriate time for a reminder that many Indiana newspapermen are outstanding assets to their state and communities above and beyond the call of duty. Besides publishing or participating in the publication of the scores of daily and weekly newspapers in this state, which, in itself, is a public service, dozens of Hoosier newspaper men and women play important roles in state and local government and civic enterprises. It would take columns of type to record the past and current services rendered by newspaper publishers, editors, reporters and just plain newspapermen in Indiana to their state, counties, cities and towns. Even then, many would 1 * be inadvertently omitted because their contributions to government and community betterment are not a matter of record. State Directory Lists A good sample, however, can be found in the pages of the official 1963 Indiana state directory which lists members of boards, commissions and committees functioning in government on the state level, many of them by appointment of the

Newspapermen, like their fellows in other career fields, do it as a public service, despite the fact it often involves headaches and criticism instead cf compliments and praise.

Best Hoosier Fishing Ahead INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana Department of Conservation said today that some of the best fishing of the year could be ahead for Hoosier anglers. The department’s fishing report by areas: Northern: Fishing is still holding up very well in most of the lakes, streams, and reserNobel Prize For Medicine Awarded STOCKHOLM (UPD — The 1963 Nobel prize for medicine was awarded today to two British researchers and one Australian for their discoveries concerning the operation of nerve cells. Winners of the $51,158 award were Alan Lloyd Hodgkin, 49, and Andrew Fielding Huxley, 45, both of Cambridge University. England and Sir John C. Eccles, 60, Canberra, Australia. Their citation said they were receiving the prize for their discoveries concerning the ionic mechanisms involved in excitation and inhibition in the peripheral and central portions of the nerve cell membrane. Sources said earlier that other top contenders for this year’s prize in medicine were Drs. Jonas Salk of Pittsburgh and Albert Sabin of Cincinnati for -the development of the anti-polio vaccines which bear their names. Also under consideration was Professor Horace Magoun of the University of California. Research On Impulses** The Nobel committee said Eccles was given the award for his research on the fundamental transmission of nervous impulses. It said that Eccles had established a connection between inhibition of nerve cells and the repolarization of the cell’s membrane. The committee said Eccles thus solved what has long been one of the main riddles in the physiology of the central nervous system. , -.t Hodgkin’s and Huxley’s prizewinning work concerned the physical and chemical of nerve impulses, the committee said.

voirs,' some good catches of nice walleyes and northern pike being taken from Kankakee and Tippecanoe Rivers, with several nice catches of crappies and bluegills being taken from the lakes using artificial and live bait. At Lake Freeman and Lake Shafer, the catfish and crappie fishing is reported good. Central: Fishing in central Indiana reported fair to good with the streams still very low. At Raccoon and Cataract lakes, the fishing is good and the water is clear. Crappies and largemouth bass are hitting jigs, top-water bait and minnows. At Lake Lemon a few nice bass are being taken using artificial night crawlers in harness in the early morning and late evening. The west fork of White River is giving up some channel cats using minnows and shrimp. At Walton Lake west of Terre Haute, some catches of crappies have been reported. At Morse Reservoir and Geist Reservoir, good catches of crappies have been reported caught using minnows, and jigs, with a few bass being taken with rubber night crawlers. Southern: At Hindostan Falls some catfish being taken with shad-gut, craws, and worms. In Ihe lower Wabash River, flathead and channel catfish are being caught using the usual catfish bait. Water here is very low but some crappies have been taken on minnows out of the old beds apd farm ponds. The streams in the southeast section are extremely low and the fishing here is practically nil.

Newsom Explains Morocco - Algeria War

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Southward from Casablanca, the mountains take on a mudbrown hue, deeply' slashed by the erosion of centuries and sloping gradually into the Sahara. Even from the air, it is a picture of desolation broken only occasionally by the green of an oasis. Such an oasis is Tindouf, 400 miles south of Casablanca on an ancient caravan route. Such also are Tinnjoub and ColombBechar. All lie along the ill-de-fined desert borders of Morocco and Algeria in an area claimed by both sides, frequent scene of armed clashes between the two. Morocco describes them as “Moroccan lands under Algerian control.” Included are areas rich in oil, natural gas and other resources. The Moroccans claim they were “annexed” by France when she controlled Algeria. Scene of the most recent clashes has been Tinnjoub, of little value except as a bargaining point. Increasing Enmity Os perhaps greater moment than the real estate in immediate contest is the increasing enmity between King Has-

san II of Morocco, the young constitutional monarch, and President Ahmed Ben Bella of Algeria, the dedicated revolutonary. Hassan is the son of Mohamed V, whose foreign policy linked Morocco firmly with the emerging independent countries of black Africa. But Hassan himself, for better or for worse for his future in Africa, has been linked with the West. And, like President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia, which flanks Algeria on the other side, frequently has found himself a target of Ben Bella. Ben Bella is a proclaimed socialist whose views lean toward President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic and his sympathies toward President Gamal Abdel Nasser ofthe United Arab Republic and his sympathies toward Fidel Castro. Hassan has tried to follow a course of enlightened reform. A year ago he set up Morocco’s first constitution, and,

through a popular referendum, proclaimed Morocco a , “democratic social monarchy.” Has Wide Powers The designation itself is one of vague proportions. The king names the premier and his cabinet ministers, he also must approve all legislation. He can, if he wishes, refer legislation to a popular referendum. But the new constitution also provides for a popularly elected parliament with rights for women. Tax reforms have been instituted and an agrarian reform program in distributing land to landless peasants. Democracy in Morocco is a far cry from democracy as it is understood in the United States. But a start has been made. Since 1957, the United States has provided Morocco with well over $350 million in various forms of aid, and will continue its help even after U.S. air bases in Morocco are abandoned. But Morocco has been caught up in the vortex of the struggle for influence in Africa which effects both its internal and external policies. A year ago there were rumors that Hassan’s 22-year-old osister might marry Ben Bella. If there ever was an agreement, today it definitely would seem to be off.
