Largest of Type Christian Ct'ttdreri’s Fund is the largest orgamVatinn of —its typeprescntlv a' isting -over 43,000 children. Dr. .1. Calvitt Clarke and ' his wife, Helen, report that they always have more hungry children than sponsors. They have a long waiting list of orphanages requesting help—and the orphanages in turn have waiting lists of children needing assistance. Sponsors send $lO a month toward tlie child’s care, choosing a boy or a girl from above the Arctic circle to,below the Equator. They are encouraged to exchange letters and Christmas with their “adopted” child. Many sponsors send gifts, provide for higher education, and in some cases, even take trips abroad to meet their “child.” Stated In 1938 The Clarkes were one of the first to use this unique “Adoption Plan,” back in 1938. Beginning by sending aid to one small orphanage in China, they soon found millions of Americans eager to “adopt” homeless children. And since “every other child in the world will go to bed hungry tonight,” there is still a lot of work to be done. Christian children’s fund is affiliated with 476 homes, representing 35 Protestant denominations in 55 countries. More than simply

(UPD—Arnold Hobbs, convicted for embezzlement in connection with a $2 million discrepancy that caused the Noble County Credit Union at Albion to close, today faced new charges in connection with the shortages. Hobbs, 37, a plump Albion civic leader when arrested originally in 1959, won a bid for freedom in LaPorte Circuit Court Monday but was rearrested as soon as he stepped out of the courtroom. He had served 4% years of his 15-year sentence, and Judge Alban Smith freed him on a technicality of sentencing during the original trial. Allen County Deputy Sheriff Melvin Shinn, who had waited outside the courtroom with several other officers during the five-minute hearing in which Smith announced his’ decision,sped Hobbs off under heavy guard. ' Arrest No Surprise me,” Hobbs said as he stepped out of the court and Spotted »aSkeuJl^_Ea«L.

There are so many refugees in Hong Kong that there is no free education, and very few of the children can-afford to go to school, unless they are helped from abroad. In fact, more than 80,000 are so weak that they cannot properly study their lessons when they get to school. The missionary band of Monroe is trying to do its part in helping.

jail for awhile,” McCoullough said as he motioned for Shinn. Hobbs kissed his wife, thanked his attorney, Robert Probst of Kendallville, and stepped into a patrol car. Hobbs was taken to Allen County Jail at Fort Wayne under SIO,OOO bond and authorities said he may be arraigned next Monday on new charges. Hobbs was manager of the ‘credit .union when the huge shortage was discovered by auditors, who closed the institution Nov. 21, 1958, although it was later re-organized and reopened. Allen County Prosecutor Walter Helmke, acting on a petition « from Noble County authorities, issued a warrant for the rearrest charging embezzlement. No date of violation or amount of money was listed in the new warrant. Freedom Order “By reason of the fact you have been iHegatty restrained,” Smith said in passing his short order, “I hereby order you removed from detention.” When Hobbs was convicted, the jury did not recommend a, specific term of imprisonment and he was sentenced to 15 years in Fort Wayne. Hobbs contended the -sentence should have been two years, the minimum time sdlowed by the law, which calls for a 2-21 jail term, since the jury did not specify any particular length of internment. Twenty-one counts of embezzlement were returned against Hobbs in the case which shocked the town of Albion and had statewide implications. Helmke, who said he may reopen indictments, indicated the case may come to the Indiana Supreme Court for the settling of jurisdictional questions. In the various actions stemming from the case, an attorney innocently connected with the case committed suicide, and» new state laws were enacted tightening state control over ■ credit unions.

Automation Feared By Nation’s Workers

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD— Poets and playwrights frequently are years ahead of scientists in predicting the shape of things to come. In 1921 a play by Karel Capek called “R.U.R. — Rosum’s Universal Roberts” was produced in Prague and unfolded the story of how an army of mechanical men rebelled and destroyed their creators. It was not a sensational hit, largely because most people thought the idea of mechanical men was so far-fetched as to be laughable. The robots in the play had human form, intelligence, strength and memory, but were devoid of feelihg. If “R.UR.” were produced today, few people would laugh. The idea of machines doing the work of human beings hits too close to home for millions of workers. The'word for it is “automation” and it is a fighting word. It spreads fear. A few years ago workers in several Midwest industrial cities were asked to list the things they feared most. Russia came first and automation second, but it is an even-money bet that if a poll were taken today the order would be reversed. Some Are Irritated Those who don’t fear automation are irritated by it. The ether day Sen. Paul Douglas, D-Dl., delivered a whither-are-we-drifting - view - with - alarm speech. He said some men in California had invented a machine called Electro-com could dial your telephone number, deliver a sales pitch, say goodbye and hang up. If your line happened to be busy, the machine would wait three minutes and dial again. “Our personal rights would be invaded,” Douglas said. “Our personal lives would suffer and many would boycott any product of a manufacturer who applied such obnoxious sales technique in their home." Maybe so, but it is going to take more than angry speeches in the United States Senate to halt the march of automation. The man who argues against automation is, in the final result, arguing against progress. To stop the development of automation could be disastrous to the United States in the cold war. Russia established a ministry of automation in 1956. It already has about 20 automated factories and is pushing hard for more. American . corporations are selling their computers all over Western Europe. Scientists Need Action Progress demands that scientists have complete freedom of action in developing whatever their ingenuity can devise. It is just as illogical to demand a halt to automation as it is to tell medical researchers they must stop their search for a cure for cancer. Automation was born out of dire danger to the nation. It was developed to speed up the production of airplanes and tanks in World War 11. It played a part in the development of the atomic bomb and it was indispensable in making the giant leap from the atomic to the hydrogen bomb. It released men from factories and sent them to the fighting fronts. It would be natural to assume that labor unions would be in the forefront of those opposing the development of automation, but such is not the case. No leader of a big union is on rec-

ord aS fighting automation as such, but all of' them are demanding that® the nation act now and decisively to prepare for the day when the machines will throw an intolerable number of men out of work. That is the real drive behind "the demand of the unions for a 35 - hour work/week without reduction’ in pay. “Though society cannot smash the machines, we must take whatever steps are needed to insure that the machines will not smash society,” says A. J. Hayes, head of the machinist union, and that neatly sums up the worries of the unions. But tempers are -getting short, and the other day George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, complained to his national convention that the big corporations were ignoring the consequences of automation: “Every big corporation in America is in a mad race to produce more and . more with less and less labor. Their plans for expansion are staggering. Every one of them calls for more and more push-button operation with machines to push the buttons. There has got to be a change in thinking. Many believe that automation will eventually supply more jobs. I don’t know what they have to prove this, but I am quite sure a good many sincerely believe it But what happens until that takes place? Do we get our purchasing power from push buttons?” Cites Jebs Needed The late President Kennedy, projecting the requirements for a stable, prosperous economy, said in the near future the nation would have to open up 10, 000 jobs a day. The population explosion and the desire of women to work is expanding the labor force at a tremendous rate. Last month the rate of unemployment in this country rose to 5.9 per cent, which means 3.9 million persons couldn’t find a job. , One economist said he occa- . sionally had nightmares, but the scene was always the same: “I see thousands of persons clamoring at factory gates trying to get in and apply for jobs. But they can’t get in because the doors are crowded with people carrying pink discharge slips who are trying to get out.” Next: Automation — Does it cause serious unemployment?
