Astronaut Glenn To Seek Seat In Senate

COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) — A high Democratic source today gave Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy major credit for astronaut John H. Glenn’s decision to enter the Democratic race for senator in his native Ohio. Glenn will make his announcement at 10 a.m. Friday in the ballroom of the Neil House Hotel in Columbus, a hotel spokesman said. Arrangements for the news conference were made this ’morning. (Glenn's expected entry into the contest was sure to create a race of international interest as it could match the first American to orbit the earth against Rep. Robert Taft Jr., a member of one of the country’s most prominent Republican families. The source told United Press International that Glenn, sought by both Democrats and Republicans, “has decided to run for the Senate as a Democrat. His announcement is imminent.” Bringing Glenn into the race to stop Taft closely paralleled a move by Republicans in 1952 when they stopped his father’s bid for the Republican • presidential nomination by getting a national hero, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the GOP presidential nomination. Glenn Declines Comment Glenn declined to comment on the report at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Center in Houston, Tex. A NASA spokesman, however, told UPI that Glenn, in seclusion most of this week, said Tuesday he expected to make a decision on politics this week. There was no official word when Glenn would announce but Ohio Democratic Chairman William L. Colaman, caught off base by the decision, said he had heard that Glenn would be in Columbus Friday. Glenn's entry into the race could throw the Democratic party into turmoil as its leaders, having given' up on Glenn after trying since last summer to get him into politics, were all set to endorse Democratic Sen.

Stephen M. Young for a second term at the party convention here Monday. Party leaders had made the 74-year-old senator the convention’s major speaker in a move to give him a buildup as his campaign started. Young announced in Washington, after hearing that Glenn would run, that he considered it a rumor and he would run for reelection. Feel Taft Stronger Democratic leaders said that although Young had been a consistent supporter of the administration, they had hoped he would step aside because they felt Young, whose 1958 election was considered a major upset, would lose to Taft. They indicated privately that the late President John F. Kennedy would like to see Glenn in the race if away could be found for Young to leave the Senate gracefully. They pointed out that Glenn often attended parties at Robert Kennedy’s home and had water skied with the Kennedys at their Hyannis Port home. • They said the attorney general was determined that his late brother would make a better showing in Ohio than he did when he lost the state in 1960, and was quietly trying to mold the strongest possible ticket in the Buckeye State. Taft declined to comment but rpomised a statement when Glenn announced. Taft’s opponentin the T®ay 5 primary, Secretary of State Ted W. Brown, made no comment. Budget Loan Corp. Officers Reelected Officers of the Budget Loan Corp., which operates under the name of Budget Investment, were all reelected at the recent annual meeting of shareholders at Rushville. Officers are Victor H. Payne, president; Joseph C. Burris. Ernest R. Shireman and James C. Payne, vice presidents; Jack H. Payne, secretary-trea z surer, and Dorothy B. Lipscome assistant secretary-treasurre. Jack H. Payne, general manager, reported earnings during 1963 increased 21 per cent over 1962, and that the board had authorized an increase in common dividends from 20 cents per share to 25 cents. Budget Loan has a branch office in Decatur. Attempted Break-in Is Reported Here An attempted break-in at the Community Oil station, Seventh and Adams streets, was reported to the city police at 6 o’clock this morning by owner Lawrence Kohne. . Investigation showed that sometime Wednesday night or early this morning someone had attempted to enter the building by breaking out a window on the north side of the building. It appeared, however, that entry was not gained, and nothing could be found missing in the station.

They also agreed on new Western initiatives vaimed at easing world tensions while firmly preserving the Western world’s security. Johnson and Segni expressed deep satisfaction with the results of their talks which Johnson termed useful and stimulating. ’ f Segni xVas the first foreign chief of state received by Johnson since he assumed office last November. Johnson earlier met with West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard on his Texas ranch and will receive British Prime Minister Sir Alec Doug-las-home here next month. Administrative sources earlier indicated Johnson also wanted to meet with French President Charles de Gaulle, ‘ but informed sources said so far they did not see eye to eye on a mutually acceptable meeting place. Johnson’s talks with leading Allied statesmen serve the double purpose of strengthening Western unity and preparing for new talks about outstanding world problems with the Soviet Union, informed sources said.

Offer Proposal To Cut School Building Cost INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - A legislative study committee today offered proposals for reducing school construction costs by use of prefabricated steel, mul-tiple-story buildings and expansion of existing facilities. ' The tentative suggestions were presented by Reps. Robert L. Sheaffer, R-Shelbyville, and Austin Barker, D-Attica, cochairmen of the < School Building Construction Studay Com mittee. The report was one of six presented by study groups at a meeting of the Indiana Legislative Advisory Commission. Proposals from all committees were preliminary and represented progress reports rather than final conclusions. The school construction group suggested use of standardized plans, at least for primary schools. They said this would cut costs. They suggested that prefabricated steel frame buildings be considered in the future. Another cost-cutting idea was use of double-sessions in existing buildings and initiationor expansion of summer school programs. The committee said revision of state standards should include reduction of minimum acreage, less window area in high schools and use of partial basements for student activity. The Legislative Processes Study Committee urged the LAC to set minimum age standards for legislative pages and limit their number to 10 in the Senate and 12 in the House. Sen. Von Eichhorn, D-Union-dale, and Rep. Charles Edwards, 6 R-Spencer, the co-chair-men, proposed only high school and college students be allowed to serve. They suggested economies in bill reproduction and’ printing. The State Constructigp Project Study Committee said it has effected future economies in maintenance of national guard armories. Rep. Maurice Goodnight, R-Lafayette, said since the state is entirely responsible for upkeep, the committee initiated a chanfee so new Army construction regulations allow a sloping roof, which is easier to maintain. A committee studying hotels in state parks under private management said it has taken conflicting testimony and has reached no conclusion. The Insurance Advisory Committee, headed by Sen. Russell Townsend, Jr., R-Indianapolis, said plans to review liability insurance held by state agencies in the light of the Indianapolis Coliseum disaster. o q 20 Years 4go Today 0 —0 Jan. 16, 1944 was Sunday and no paper was published.
