Bontrager In r Charge Cubans In Puerto Rico INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager, RElkhart, got his capaign for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate into high gear Thursday with a charge that Cuban Communists are infiltrating Puerto Rico and creating a subversive threat. “When I was in Puerto Rico recently I was told that previously penniless Cubans have bought stores, set up printing presses and embarked on propaganda practices,’’ Bontrager told a news conference. “There is also suspicion they are concealing arms.” Bontrager said he would stress the Cuban' threat in the Caribbean area, the danger of bureaucratic rules and regulations that have the force of law and the abdication of resposibility to the President by members of Congress during the campaign. He described himself as a “conservative possessed of a high degree of realism with the knowledge that you can’t turn back the hands of the clock. Bontrager appointed Paul H. Green of Leba no n, Boone County GOP chairman, as his campaign manager. Mrs. Bernedene Burns of Lebanon, Boone County vice chairman, was named to head his women’s organization with Mrs. Green as her assistant. Bontrager’s campaign headquarters will be opened about March 9 at the Clavpool Hotel here. Green, a safety device and parking meter salesman, predicted that Bontrager will be nominated and elected “because he is supporting the constitution, is a rough and tumble campaigner and a fine speaker.” Bontrager, one of several candidates for the GOP nomination for the Senate seat now held by Democrat Vance Hartke, said he was in the Senate race “for keeps.” He made the statement when questioned about reports that 3rd District GOP leaders were trying to entice him into the race for the congressional seat now held by Rep. John Brademas, D-Inh. Bontrager said he had conferred with party leaders in 39 counties since Jan. 8. He was in Greencastle Thursday night, will be in Lebanon tonight and will speak Saturday night at a Lincoln Day dinner in Washington.
