a result of the Indiana municipal balloting is “Mr. Republican” himself—Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Rensselaer. Furthermore, Halleck may

have been the first to recognize his problem. When the mayor offices switched in a strong GOP trend from 71-37 Democratic to 62-49 'Republican on Nov. 5, Halleck's 2nd District was hurt worse than any other. As a matter of fact, the Republicans made gains in mayor seats in every district except the 2nd, Bth and 11th. The 11th (Indianapolis and Marion County; stayed the same. •The Bth is traditionally a

Democratic bailiwick anyhow. 4 of 18 Cities Switch But in Halleck’s 2nd, the GOP margin of mayors dropped from 7-3 to 6-4. This is still a better ratio for the GOP than some districts. But it is significant because four cities out of the 10 switched from Republican to Democratic, including Halleck's own homet o w n, Rensselaer, which never before had a Democratic mayor. There were only 18 cities in the entire state which shifted from the Republi-

cans to the Democrats. The others uv the 2nd were Rochester. Delphi and West Lafayette. West Lafayette, like Rensselaer, tried a Democratic mayor for the maiden time. Halleck has been elected and reelected since 1935, a year when there was very little for the GOP to salvage from the Democratic New Deal sweeps led by Franklin D. Roosevelt. His closest call in this predominantly GOP area was in 1958 when George Byers of Valpa-

raiso '.came within fewer than 5,000 votes of beating him. In 1962, Halleck handled former Indiana Farmers Union president John Raber with ease. But Raber already has sounded the battle cry for another chance at the Housfe minority leader, one of the nation’s topranking GOP stalwarts. Home to Mend Fences? Only 10 days ago, Raber was meeting with 2nd District Democratic leaders at the Rensselaer Country Club when Halleck

walked past the door, obviously home from Congress for the weekend to find out what happened Nov. 5 and perhaps to mend some fences'. Closely - following Halleck’s weekend visit was the resignation announcement of Jasper County chairman George A. Warden. Jasper is Halleck's home county; and Rensselaer is in his territory. Warden in his resignation statement said he was quitting “consistent with our theme of always considering the best for Jasper County Republicans.” He said he did not intend to be a candidate for reelection next May, "for reasons I dp not choqse to make public,” so it would be better if he quit now “in order to give you an opportunity to select the best man and prepare for the important general election of 1964.” Warden didn’t mention the loss of Rensselaer. The Jasper County precinct committeemen didn’t waste any time filling the vacancy—The y immediately elected Edward Nussbaum. x 3RD, 7TH Big Gains The districts showing the

Yemen Settlement Is Still Far Off

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst It' was last April 30 that United Nations Secretary General U Thant announced that both the United Arab Republic and Saudi Arabia had agreed to withdraw from the conflict within the Republic of Yemen at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula. The theory was that without outside help, the civil war between Revolutionary Republican forces and the ousted Imam of Yemen soon would collapse and another potential explosion point in the Middle be eliminated. Now, more than six months later, the civil war continues with large parts of Yemen under Royalist control and an estimated 30,000 Egyptian troops still inside the country. A United Nations observer mission continues its efforts toward peace but a settlement seems just about as far away as ever, Beirut observers see in the Yemen struggle an extension of a much longer conflict which gradually is extending throughout the Middle East. Nasserin Conflict This is the fight for Arab leadership between President Abdel Gamal Nasser of the United Arab Republic, and the Baath party which won control of Iraq last February in a military revolt, took over Syria last spring, and then seemingly lost Iraq in another armed coup this week. The party functions through underground cells in Egypt and Jordan, is legal in Lebanon and has limited numbers of followers in both Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It began as a philosophy discussed in the Damascus homes of its leaders in 1940 and emerged as a definite force in 1963 when it seized control first of Syrja and then of Iraq. It has resisted Nasser’s demands for one-man leadership but, as

greatest Republican gains, numerically speaking, in mayor offices were the 3rd and 7th. In each district, the GOP picked up six offices. In the 10th they picked up five. Ibis made the 3rd District—the South Bend area—a good prospect, on paper at least, to pick up a congressional seat next year, particularly in view of the stunning 17.000-vote margin by which the GOP mayor candidate in South Bend defeated his Democratic foe. The shifts in mayor lineups by districts from the 1959 election to this one: Ist—From 4-2 Democratic to 4- Republican; 2nd—From 7-3 Republican to 6-4 Republican; 3rd—From 7-1 Democratic to 7- Republican; 4th—From 8-4 Democratic to 7-6 Republican; sth—From 9-6 Democratic to 9-6 Republican; 6th—From 4-4 to 5- Republican; 7th—From 11-2 Democratic to 8-5 Republican; Bth—From 7-5 Democratic to 8- Democratic; 9th—From 7-4 Democratic to 7-5 Democratic; 10th—From 9-1 Democratic to 6- Republican; 10th—2-1 Democratic, no change.

does he, professes its goal to be Arab unity and socialism. In Yemen, there have been frequent reports of near-agree-ment on a government acceptable to both sides. A major stumbling block has been the insistance of both Jordan and Saudia Arabia that whatever form of government' finally is agreed upon, it must come after total withdrawal of Egyptian troops. Disagree On Leader But, since there is a strong belief that Yemen’s Republican regime would collapse without Egyptian aid, these demands meet strong resistance from Nasser. There is also the questidh of selecting a man to head a compromise government. Mentioned as a most likely candidate is Mushin Al - Aini, Yemen’s present delegate- - to the United Nations. But he is widely regarded as a Baathist and 1 therefore unacceptable to Nasser. The Baathist-Nasser struggle also extends to Jordan where King Hussein is attempting to counter pressure from Syria and Iraq by moving closer to Nasser, a traditional foe. New Ski Resort Is Financed By ARA By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — When I recently learned that gambling casinos in Puerto Rico are under the jurisdiction of the Economic Development Administration, I thought I had encountered the quintessence of bureaucratic nomenclature. Nothing, I ’ figured, could be more appropriate than to define the game of roulette, not to mention blackjack and craps, as a form of economic development. 1 now find, however, that in awarding this laurel to the government of Puerto Rico I was underestimating the ingenuity of our bureaucrats back here on the mainland. In a couple of weeks, a beautiful new ski resort will go into oi>eration in Blue Knob Mountain near Bedford, -Pa., and this facility, I must admiringly report, was financed in large measure by the Area Redevelopment Administration. Aid Ski Resorts To my mind, ski resorts are even more compatible with’ economic development, particularly area redevelopment, than casinos. There are some persons. I’ll concede, who may have trouble seeing the connection. For instance,- certain congressmen became disturbed a few weeks ago when they heard that money for the ski lift was being provided Rural Electrification Administration. I don’t intend to become involved in that controversy other than to point out that a ski lift can’t operate without electricity and that Blue Knob is unquestionably rural. It is not the SIIO,OOO REA loan that fascinates me. It is the $222,155 area redevelopment loan. When you consider the facts, I think you’ll agree that the latter loan was exquisitely fitting. ... •, ' First of all. Blue Knob is in the center of an area that has been hard hit economically by a slump in coal and railroad, employment. Secondly, it is the purpose of the Area Redevelopment Administration to help such communities improve themselves. Boom in Band-Aids Thirdly, nothing that I can think of is' more likely to stimulate the economy than a new ski resort. The sale of leg splints alone should be enough to start the timber business booming.
