Vice Charged In County Jail

GARY, Ind. (UPD —.The Northwest Indiana Crime Commission revealed Friday it has signed statements from former Lake County Jail prisoners supporting earlier charges that vice rights could be bought by inmates of the institution.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT

Willard Wirtz. Wirtz said there was enough overtime worked in the manufacturing industries to provide full-time jobs for an additional 919,000 persons. He thought consideration should be given to whether the present “overtime penalty” is adequate. Legislation introduced in the last session of Congress would raise the present time-and-a-half rate for overtime to dou» ble the regular rate of pay. These plans were aimed at encouraging manufacturers to hire additional workers at straight pay instead of using regular employes on overtime. Budgetary matters will come in for another look at the Texas White House today at a meeting between Johnson and Najeeb Halaby, the federal aviation administrator. Halaby’s budget already has been cut by several million dollars from his original requests.

Lynch said no requests for information from the commission had been received from local officials, although the commission notified the officials that pertinent information was available.

They are not wanted. They would only cause trouble,” Lingo said. The Justice Department sent a team of six officials, headed by Asst. Atty. Gen.

Pope Paul VI Arrives In Holy Land To Open Historic Pilgrimage

AMMAN, Jordan (UPD—Pope Paul VI arrived in the Holy Land today to begin his historic “pilgrimage of prayer” on the soil trod 2,000 years ago by Jesus Christ. The Pope's jet airliner landed out of foggy and cloudy skies’, shortly after 1 p.m. (6 a.m., „ ESTk on its history-making flight. The 66-year-old pontiff will spend the next three days visiting the places where Jesus was born, up, and died. He also will hold Christian unity meetings with Patriarch Athenagoras I of the Eastern Orthodox Church and other leaders of the Eastern Christians who have been split from Rome for more than five centuries. Addresses Airport Crowd - In a fairwell speech to the crowd at the airport and to Italian President Antonio Segni and other dignitaries, the pontiff said he was returning “to the cradle of Christianity, where the grain of mustard seed of the evangelical parable sent forth its first roots, extending itself like a leafy tree which by now covers with its shade all the world.” He said his visit was “a pilgrimage of prayer and of penance ... to proclaim ever louder before men what we said in our firtt message, urbi et orbi Ito the' city and the world I that only in the Gospel of Jesus is the awaited and desired salvation.” The pontiff said he would carry to the Holy Land the burning sorrows and hopes of mankind. He would bring to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and to the Grotto of the Nativity “the desires of individuals, of families, of nations, above all, the asoirations, the anxieties, the sufferings of the sick, the poor, the the afflicted; of xe=fugees, of those who suffer, those who weep, those who hunger and thirst for justice,” he said. Pope’s Theme Same The Pope’s theme was the same the one he has,,expressed since announcing the trip last month: The world’s churches must forgive and forget their old quarrels, “that we may gradually come together and be one.” - “There is still room for remorse for our lack of charity to each other in the past.” he told a British radio audience Friday. The meeting with Athenagoraas~ Sunday will be the first between a Roman Catholic pope and an Eastern Orthodox patriarch since 1439, when Patriarch Joseph II and Pope Eugene TV failed to heal the split between the two branches of the church... The formal schism between Rome 'and Constantinople is nearly 1,000 years old. In 1054, differences over doctrines that had built up over the centuries led to the split. Succeeding attempts t to reconcile the Eastern and Roman churches failed, the last one being the 1439 meeting. Now, 525 years .later, the membership of both churches has grown to a total .of -about 683 million. The Roman Church, with about 500 million is by far the largest. Together, the two churches—dead -more than twothirds of the world’s Christians. The main point still at issue is the Roman belief in the primacy of the Pope, which .the Eastern churches do not accept. But both readers have been working toward unity. _ ■ \ .

Goldwater Plunges Into Primary Fight

PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPD—Sen. Barry Goldwater, his decision to seek the GOP presidential nomination widely applauded by fellow Republicans, departs at 10 a.m. EST for Washington today to plunge into a primary campaign battle against Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. Goldwater announced Friday he would run for the Republican presidential nomination in a series of state primary elections, starting with New Hampshire March 10. Rockefeller already is campaigning in the state. Goldwater will begin his' stumping for the nomination with speeches in New Hampshire Tuesday and Wednesday. The immediate result of Goldwater’s dramatic?,' but expected, declaration was to assure a series of direct confrontations with Rockefeller in several primaries. Goldwater proposed to give voters a “clear choice*’‘between his brand of conservatism and Rockefeller’s Republican liberalism. Recalls Earlier Battle The Goldwater - Rockefeller collision recalled the 1952 struggle for GOP power which saw then Gen. Dwight D. EisenhoWer overcome the late Sen. Robert Taft for the presidential nomination. Goldwater has sometimes been compared to Taft, the foremost conservative spokesman of his time. Both Goldwater and Rockefeller indicated they favored giving voters a choice between the divergent principles within the same basic political philosophy oE the Republican party. There will be other primary

Long-Delayed bale Os Wheat Closed

WASHINGTON (UPD—An obscure provision in the government’s subsidy program appeared today to have eased the way for the long-delayed sale of 1 million tons of U.S. surplus wheat to Russia. The Agriculture Department announced Friday that Continental Grain Co. of New York had sold S7 million bushels (1 Trillion metric tons) of wheat to the Soviet Union for cash in an "historic transaction. The wheat will cost the Russians about. $78.5 million —the world price of the grain plus Roy A. Agler Dies Suddenly Al Hobart Roy A.

contests — in Oregon May 15. California oil June 2, and probably in Illinois. “I will offer a choice, not an echo,” said Goldwater, the 55-year-old westerner who has become the leading American spokesman for the conservative viewpoint in two Senate terms. His announcement was njade as he traced himself on crutches and leaned on a lectern in the sunshine outside his SIOO,OOO hilltop home. Goldwater recently underwent minor surgery on his foot. Regardless of their own political philosophy, most Republicans — including Rockefeller —welcomed the announcement. Sbuthern Republicans were particularly enthusiastic, and Georgia chairman James Dorsey called Goldwater “our best candidate.” No Immediate Comment Among "those who did not comment imediately were sorer President Dwight Eisenhower, ex-Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, and Democrat President Lyndon Johnson. Nixon and Lodge both are regarded as definite possibilities for the nomination, especially in view of changes in the Democrat spectrum resulting from President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Goldwater, stressing his belief that conservatism in the South would be a major issue, said he would not concede “that the South definitely has to go for Johnson." He said he would not even concede Johnson’s home state of Texas to the Democratic leader.

shipping costs. The department said the sale was the largest commercial sale of wheat ever made by a single U.S. firm. Export subsidies on the sale will amount to about $25 million but the result will be a drop of 1 million tons in U.S. surplus wheat stocks, with an accompanying saving of storage costs amounting to about $5 million annually. In addition, the Commerce Department announced approval of export licenses for three other grain dealers. These potential deals add up to another 500,000 tons of wheat plus 50,000 tons of flour. Michael Fribourg, president of Continental, said that half the wheat would be shipped in U.S. vessels, as specified by the late President Kennedy when he first authorized such sales last Oct. 9, “if ships can be made available.” But one big question remained: Is the United States subsidizing part of the cost •of shipping the wheat sold? About one-third of the sale, 350,000 tons, will be durum wheat. On the other wheat involved in the transaction, the Agriculture Department is paying its regular export subsidies. These enable U.S. wheat to be competitive with other world wheats. In effect, they bring down the price of U.S. wheat to the lower world price. But on the durum wheat, the subsidy Is bigger, about—ll cents a bushel greater than the last durum subsidy approved by the department under a littleknown “bid subsidy” program adopted in 1962. There is speculation that this extra amount is, in effect If not in name, a federal subsidy covering part of the cost of shipping the wheat to Russia. Agriculture department spokesmen strongly denied that such is the case. 1 : r-
