Space Program Is Terrific Challenge

By FREDERICK L. HOVDE President Purdue University Written for the Indianapolis , Times and Distributed by CPI America’s program for the exploration of outer space is un- , questionably , the greatest scientific and technological venture ever undertaken by man. Even the first baby,, step to the moon will require a national expenditure of money.-- brain power and scientific facilities vastly greater than our Total investment in the development the atomic bomb and the nuclear power program during the years sincd the end of World War 11. The successful prosecution of our space program poses a magnificent challenge to the nation’s scientific and technical talent and specifically to institutions of higher learning which train and produce this talent. The nature and magnitude of the problems to be solved and mastered before man can be sent safely beyond the earth’s environment "are incredibly difficult for the average citizen to understand and appreciate Giant prop u1 s ion systems must be developed that will power space vehicles through astronomic distances and return safely; instrumentation to navigate and control with a precision that knows no equal on earth must be developed to, function without fail in the* harsh and brutal environment 5 of outer space—an invironmentE about which we have only; vague and imperfect informa-1 tion at this time. = As awe-inspiring as these! problems are, they can and willOH, MY| ACHING BACK i Now!

be met by young men and women of the quality, faith, and ability this nation has Always produced. It is the task of our institutions of higher education to prepare today's students to solve tomorrow’s problems. The education of today's young scientists must be strengthened in both breadth and depth; this cannot be dene -using- outmoded facilities and yesterday's methods. Purdue University has a longstanding tradition of excellence in the kinds of science and technology required for the onward march of scientific development, including the exploration of space. Indeed. Purdue is one of the largest and most important suppliers of talent for this program. Therefore. Indiana industry itself can depend upon Purdue University as a strong source of brain power for its space age growth. Clearly, participation in the nation’s largest single scientific program'is vital io the future of this state. Further, the citizens of Indiana can depend upon Purdue to open space age opportunities and careers for their sons and daughters. not only in Indiana, _ but also throughout the nation — and. for some of them, even “out of this world.” Undoubtedly Indiana parents £ will make every necessary sac- § rifice to insure for our young 5 people the best educational £ foundation possible for happy, B productive lives in the space g age already here and a future § world of exciting challenges § only dimly seen now. but cerg tain to come in their lifetime in g which he lives is extended S through the onward march of scientific research. | Manslaughter Charge = ln Traffic Death SOUTH BEND.

Bontrager Is GOP Candidate For Senator By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager of Elkhart and former State "Sen. Edgar D. Whitcomb of Seymour today formally declared their intentions of seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. senator from Indiana. Both men are attorneys, and both served together on the GOP majority side of the 1951 and 1953 sessions of the legislature. Bontrager is 55, Whitcomb 46 Bontrager announced at a news conference in Elkhart and Whitcomb at a news conference in Indianapolis at the same hour. _ Whitcomb, a prisoner of the Japanese in World War 11. after the fall of Corregidor until he escaped and returned to combat duty,ii' x f"iofmeF"assistantU.S. attorney. He promised to “wage a vigorous campaign to reduce taxes, to bring government expenditures 'in line with income and to earnestly apply constitutional principles in our government.” Other announcements earlier in the week and the imminent birth of still more candidacies quickened the pace of Hoosier politics following a long dormant period. ,;v Rep. Donald C. Bruce, Indianapolis. a few days ago said that within a month he will decide whether to bid for the GOP senatorial title. Also, Tuesday, one of the most potent bidders for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. State Sen. Marshall Kizer, Plymouth, his party’s 1963 Senate floor leader, announced formally. On Monday, William Fortune, Carmel, Indianapolis suburb, plunged into the Democratic gubernatorial melee and Secretary of State Charles 0. Hendricks announced .for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. Bontrager Conservative Bontrager, who was president pro temof the Senate but did not vote for the sales tax, voiced a conservative platform in his announcement in Elkhart at a news conference. He attacked what he said was “an ever-increasing program of federal government spending, with an accompanying burdensome increase in taxes. and continued an expanding federal invasion of states’ rights and private enterprise.” 1 “I am convinced that the people’s representatives in the Congress have, in too many instances. abdicated Their responsibility to the American people.” Bontrager said. “If we are to stop the further encroachment of federal bureaucracy upon the lives and liberties of the American people, it must be done in the legislative . branch of our government.” > JBontrager charged that during the pasTTliree’years the administration added additional bureaucrats.' to the federal pay- 1 " roll at the rate of more than 3,600 per month. Jobholders Active *‘lt appears that jobholders justify their tenure and measure their importance in terms of the amount of public funds they can spend,” Bontrager said. “As a means of justifying their positions, they conjure new programs of regimentation and control to be imposed upon consumers, labor, agriculture, business and industry. With the ’imposition of each such additional program, there is a corresponding curtailment of initiative, ingenuity and freedom.”

Tuesday on charges in an affidavit signed by Sheriff Michael Truchan and approved by Prosecutor Henry S. Kowalczyk. The prosecutor said a grand jury which will meet Friday will conduct a further investigation into the charges first made by a federal prisoner that "all kinds of vice were available for a price” at the jaUL - One of the five deputies, Louis Gasbopodarek, 50, Gary, was charged with furnishing dangerous drugs to jail inmates, a felony which carries a possible penalty of 1-10 years in prison. He and Louis Neuhaus, 54, Whiting, also were charged with selling liquor to inmates. Frank Bajda, 41, Hammond. Jack E. Shepard, 34, East Gary, and Emmett D. Thomas, 33, Gary, were charged with taking money from inmates for “providing the services of prostitutes,” - - Gasbopodarek was released under $3,000 bond and the other four posted bonds of SI,OOO each. All five were suspended from their posts. Kowalczyk said the charges stemmed from questioning of 52 former jail inmates who were now in other institutions “away from the threat of violence at Crown Point.” He said he conducted the joint investigation with Chief Deputy Sheriff Millard Matthews. The investigation was touched off when Roy C. Cook, 30, Memphis, Tenn., a federal prisoner being held in the jail, charged that deputies had beaten him because he would not take part in the alleged vice operation. The Northwest Indiana Crime Commission, which conducted a separate investigation,77l a sLweek released statements in which other former inmates described alleged conditions in the jail. The statements included charges that whisky was sold to prisoners for $lO a pint,, that prostitutes were made available in the sail’s blood donor room for sls and that prisoners were allowed private visits with their wives for prices ranging up to SSO. Kowalczyk said his investigation was independent of the one conducted by the commission and another by the FBI resulting from Cook’s charges. He indicated he was not interested in any assistance from the crime commission. _ “We .are conducting this investigation in an alqrt and sensible way,” he said. “We don’t need any ‘crimebuster’ effort from the crime commission. I am not intending to whitewash anyone.” Truchan indicated that the incidents involved in the charges filed Tuesday occurred between last June and mid-November, mostly on weekends and holidays and at night when there was a small staff at the jail. South Bend Man Is □iven Prison Term SOUTH BEND. Ind. (UPD — Orvell W. Garmon, 46, South lend, was sentenced to two fears in prison Tuesday for wading more than $15,000 in federal income taxes for 1957. Garmon was sentenced by Judge Robert A- Grant, before whom le previously had pleaded guilty. Srarit said jn passing sentence it vas conmon knowledge darmon iperated a house of prostitution luring., the year in which he had ncome of more than $33,000 but isted only $10,103 on his tax reurn.

SURPRISE CUT (Continued from Page One) week to 35 hours because it would increase costs and invite inflation. But he suggested that the question of paying higher overtime rates be explored to encourage employers to hire more workers at regular pay, thus creating jobs without raising costs. In the foreign policy field the President said the United States “must be constantly prepared for the worst and constantly acting for the beststrong enough to win a war and wise enough to prevent one.” 77 ’V 7’.> ■ Assures No Aggression “We shall neither act as aggressors nor tolerate acts of aggression,” he said. “We intend to bury no one —and we do not intend to be buried.” Toward this end, Johnson outlined a 10-point program featuring military strength and alliances coupled with a bold search for East-West agreements “which can enlarge the hopes of all while violating the interests of none.” —7 The program also envisioned "increased use of our food as an instrument of peace," expanded world trade and “an expedition to the moon in this decade —in cooperation with other powers if possible, alone if necessary.” The size of the budget cut announced by Johnson for the 12 months Starting July 1 was easily the biggest surprise in his message. He had said previously he would try to keep the budget at SIOO billion or less but he had not been expected to go below the Kennedy total. Reductions Not Cited The President did not say where the reductions would be made, leaving that for the budget .message he will send to Congress Jan. 20. But he said they could be achieved without sacrificing essential human welfare programs unless “we fritter and fumble away out opportunity in needless, senseless quarrels.” ” In a possible reference to past legislative delays, he added: “Here in Congress, you can demonstrate effective legislative leadership by discharging the public business with clarity and dispatch, ’ voting each proposal up or voting it down, but at least bringing it to a fair and final vote. “Let us carry forward the plans and programs of John Fitzgerald Kennedy—not because of our sorrow or sympathy v —but because they are right" “Honest And Frugal” For his part, Johnson pledged a “progressive administration „ Which is efficient, honest and frugal.” He said his new budget, for example, will be the smallest in proportion to national output since 1951, when federal spending was a fraction over $44 billion. He said it calls for “substantial reduction in federal employment. a feat accomplished only once before in the past 10 years.” It also calls for the smallest number of civilian de-„ sense employes since 1950 without sacrificing military Strength in any way, he added.

“But it is not a stand - still budget,” Johnson said, “for. America cannot afford to stand still. Our economy is more complex. Our people’s needs are expanding." He said it was possible to meet these needs by closing down obsolete installations, curtailing less urgent federal programs, cutting back where wise and “by insisting on a dollar’s worth for a dollar spent.” With these savings, he said, “I am able to recommend in this reduced budget the -most femoral support in history for education, for health, for retraining the unemployed, and for helping the economically and physically kdndicapped.” Na Easy Rotary Johnson conceded that his war against poverty would not be easily won. “It will not be a short or easy struggle — no single weapon or strategy will suffice,” he said. “But we shall not rest until that war is won. “The richest nation on earth can afford to win it. “We cannot afford to lose it.” Asserting that SI,OOO spent to salvage an unemployable youth can yield $40,000 or more in his lifetime, Johnson vowed to pursue poverty wherever it exists — from city slum and small town to migrant worker camp and Indian reservation. "Our chief weapon in a more pin-pointed attack will be better schools, better health, better, homes, better training and job opportunities to help more Americans — especially young Americans — escape from squalor and misery.” Notes Special Efforts Johnson specifically mentioned a special effort in the chronically distressed Appalachian area, expansion of the area redevelopment program, work projects for “jobless, aimless, hopeless youngsters," an expanded food stamp program and a national service corps. “We must modernize our unemployment insurance and establish a high level commission on automation,” he said. “If

we have the brainpower to invent these machines, we have the brainpower to make certain they are a boon and not a bane to humanity.” Johnson concluded his address by saying that Americans in the seven weeks since the assassination of President Kennedy “have learned anew that nothing is so enduring as faith and nothing is so degrading as hate . . . “I ask you now, in the Congress and in the country, to join with me in expressing and fulfilling that faith in working for a nation that is free from want and a world that is free from hate, a world of peace and justice, freedom and abundance, for our time and all time to come.” Airplane Pool To Save Slate Money INDIANAPOLIS UPI) — An airplane pool, which will save the state of Indiana between $200,000 and $400,000 a year in transportation costs, will be put into effect in the near future. Plans for the pool were announced Tuesday at a news conference by Chairman David Cohen of the State Highway Commission, Director James McManus of the Indiana Aeronautics Commission and Deputy Commissioner James Berg of the State Department of Administration. They said purchase by the Highway Department of a used twin-engine, five - passenger Beechcraft had made the plan possible. Delivery of the plane next week will bring to eight the number of aircraft owned by state departments. McManus said, however, that

the number will be cut back to seven. He said a 10-year-old craft owned by the Department of Conservation will no longer be needed and will be sold. ,: The Beechcraft, formerly owned by a Wichita, Kan., oil firm and purchased at a cost of $124,000, will be the primary executive plane for the state. The No. 2 plane will be a threepassenger Pipe Apache also owned by the Highway Department. , > Planes owned by the Indiana State, Police and the Aeronautics Commission also will be part of the centralized airplane pool. Scheduling of plane use will be handled by the Aeronautics Commission. Cohen said Governor Welsh and Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine would have the first priority for use of the new plane. After them will come the Highway Commission and then other high state officials. * Cohen and McManus said the estimated saving in transportation costs Was based on a threemonth study of travel by state officials in motor pool automobiles or by commercial airlines to Chicago, Gary-Hammond, South Bend, Evansville and Fort Wayne. Cohen said the air pool might involve reg u1 a rly scheduled trips to some cities on certain days, of the week. Departments using the planes will be billed as they are now billed for use of motor pool cars. Efforts will be made to determine the nature of trips by lesser state officials requesting use of the planes but not when the requests come from Welsh or Ristine. “If they request a plane, they are going to get it,” Cohen said. “We are not going to ask them the purpose of the trip.”
