Migrant Farmhand Confesses Slaying LOUISVILLE. Ky <UPD—A migrant farmhand confessed today be beat his Indiana employer to "death with a baseball bat because “he made faces at me and laughed at me.'* Robert Baker, 43. waived extradition and is expected to be turned over to Indiana authorities w face a murder charge in the death Monday night of Marvin Kay. 33. Orleans, Ind. Kay’s bettered body was found in a muddy cattle feed tot on his farm. At the time the body was found. Baker, who worked for Kay under the name of Albert Perry, had disappeared and Kay’s red farm truck also was gone. Baker was arrested in Louisville the night of the slaying on a charge of driving the wrong way on a one-way street. He gave the name of Denningham. Charges of reckless driving, failure to have a driver’s license and vagrancy were filed later. A day later, when the ownership of the truck was traced to Kay, police learned Kay had been slain. Baker said in a signed statement that Kay made fun of him “and I couldn’t take it any longer.” Kay’s battered body was found late Monday night in a cattle feedlot at his farm where Perry had been employed. An autopsy showed be died of multiple skull fractures. z Police said some of the wounds on Kay's body were inflicted by the hooves of his cattle but* others were not. Kay’s body was discovered after a search that began when his wife reported he had not returned home front his evening chores. After the body was found, a neighbor reported he had seen Perry unloading straw near the lot with Kay early Monday night. Another neighbor said that, a few minutes later, he saw Perry drive off in Kay’s red truck.

Khrushchev In Reply To Red China Attack BUDAPEST (UPD - Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, in an obvious counter-attack on the Chinese Communists, said today that world revolution cannot succeed without full stomachs. "niere are some who call themselves Communists and Marxist - Leninists and who claim they are working for a better world.” he told a meeting of Hungarian factory workers. “But they still don't think it’s important to raise the standard of living. They only call for revolution, revolution. “The revolutionary impulse is in itself not enough. We also need a good plate of goulash, good books and good housing. When you have these, then you know why you are fighting.” Makes First Comment It was Khrushchev's first public reference to Peking’s massive new attack on his policies issued Monday. In exchanging speeches with his Hungarian hosts since hi s arrival on a visit early Tuesday Khrushchev had avoided mention of the Chinese prediction that world communism would throw him on the “rubbish heap of history.” Khrushchev made the remarks in an off - the - cuff speech at a Budapest electrical factory. The prepared text, which dealt with the importance of electric power in building socialism, was read for him in Hungarian. Then, in his usual free-swing-ing style, the Soviet premier said, “Now that you’ve heard what was written down, I'll tell you what I really think.” His audience laughed ‘appreciatively. Says No Double-Talk “Don’t think that I’m just saying things here for your benefit. I’m not the kind of person who says one thing here and goes home to say something else,” Khrushchev told the workers. He said communism, “the highest form of society,” should be able to out-produce capitalism. “The capitalists produce good products, but these products are not produced by the cap}-, talists themselves, but by the workers,” he said. “If they can do it, why shouldn’t our workers, our engineers be capable of the same quality and production?” After his speech, Khrushchev and Hungarian Premier Janos Kadar held a second round of the talks which may lead to a major Soviet bloc counter - offensive against Peking. COURT NEWS Dismissal Approved In 'the case of Margaret P. Lothamer vs William Wyss, a venue case from Allen county, a motion to dismiss the counterclaim of the defendant was filed, submitted, examined and approved, and the plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss, which was approved by the court.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Sheriff's Mobile Reserves Practice TTie recently-organized Adams - county sheriff’s mobile reserves were put through practice ma-. neuvers for about two hours Tuesday evening by sheriff Roger Singleton. The sheriff activated some 11 automobiles for the night’s action, each of which was equipped with radio facilities similar to those r used by the sheriff’s department, Z city and state police. William Susdorf, route 1. De £ catur, and deputy sheriff Haroldg August, were the mock “fugi f tives.” Using Susdorf’s auto, the tweg were sent out into the county and 5 the car’s description was dis-g patched by the sheriff to the mo-g bile reservists in their cars. Begin Alert Tn the “fugitive car,” Susdorfß and August drove throughout theß county for about two hours, withg the mobile reserves in search ofW them. Several times during the practice run the car was spotted,-e and the sheriff, located at the - jail, was notified by the reservist who had seen the car. This will be one of the main functions of the group, recently organized and put to full advantage by sheriff Singleton. None of the men in the mobile reserves, ail of whom are equipped with radios, are armed or ever told to attempt to apprehend a subject. They will be used, however, by the sheriff to keep a certain vehicle under surveillance or to aid in a search for a fugitive’s ctr. Praises Saoday Work Sheriff Singleton commended the mobile reserves for their ready and able assistance at the Berne fire scene Sunday. A number of the mobile reserves, made up of over 20 men who reside in different locations in the county, were pressed into service Sunday and aided in controlling traffic and keeping the fire area blocked off to sightseeing motorists.

I &M, Illinois Power Company In Agreement Electric power companies swap electricity back and forth just as any good neighbors borrow over the backyard fence. The only : difference is that the utilities plan it ahead of time and then [ carry it out under contract. ; A good illustration of thls.eiaci trie power exchange lies in an i agreement recently entered into |by Illinois Power company and | Indiana & Michigan Electric • company. Illinois Power, on the Sone hand, represents‘a group of l three electric companies known > as the Illinois-Missouri pool; I & M, on the other hand, is one at six utilities that make up the seven-state American Electric 'power system. It seems that customers of the i companies in the Illinois-Missouri pool use more electricity in the summertime than they do in the winter. Meanwhile, customers of the AEP system have their peak use in the wintertime. This * means, naturally, that IllinoisMissouri has built electric generating facilities to meet its customers’ summer requirements and it thus has an excess power supply during the winter, and that AEP, by the same token, has excess capacity in the summer. Why not take advantage of this situation, which is called “lead diversity”? Spokesmen for the two principals in the new agreement explain that it does just that. The agreement calls for an exchange of power between the two power systems according to schedule. During the four-month period of October-January in the winters of 1966-67, 1967-68 and 1968-69, Illinois-Missouri will supply 200,000 kilowatts of power io the AEP system. Then, in repayment, the AEP system will supply its good neighbor to the west the same amount of electricity in the four-month summer period of June-September in 1967 through 1969. The load diversity that exists between the two power systems is best illustrated by this example: Illinois-Missouri last year saw its peak demand for electricity--4.442,000 kw—occur in August. It was a reflection of the summer’s heat and the widespread use of air conditioning in Illinois and Missouri, and. it was 464,000 kw higher than the pool’s .winter pg£llg' The AEP system, on the other hand, experienced its peak — 6,020,000 kw—in December, just before Christmas. This peak represented the winter’s cold and the growing popularity of electric home heating in the system’s sev-en-state territory. And it was 575,000 kw higher than the AEP summer peak. What does all this mean? Basically, it means that the two utility systems have taken one more step in a series of many steps in their continuing effort to provide plentiful electric power in the most economical* most efficient fashion. By exchanging power during their respective surplus periods, they both have postponed the need to construct additional —and costly—power generating facilities. *> To be more specific, postponing the construction of 200.000 kw of additional capacity is the postponement of an expenditure ranging somewhere between S2O- .and S3O-million, depending on the type and location of plant. Multiply that figure by two—because each system would otherwise be spending that amount—and the saying becomes even morfe substantial. For the customer, it means that he can be further assured of a continuing plentiful supply of electric power. It means, too, that that power will be sold to him at the lowest possible cost. MerKber companies of the Illi-nois-Missouri pool, in addition to Illinois Power, are Central Illinois Public Service company and Union Electric company of St. Louis. The AEP system operating companies, besides Indiana & Michigan Electric, are: Appalachian Power Company, Kentucky Power Company, Kingsport (Tenn.) Power Company, Ohio Power Company and Wheeling (W. Va.) Electric Company. New York Stock Exchange Price MIDDAY PRICES A.

A total of 144,818 accidents involving death, bodily injury or property damage of SSO or more were reported. Besides the 1,340 killed there were 55.575 injured. Saturday was the worst day of the week for accidents and fatalities, the period from 4 to 5 p.m. produced the most accidents of any of the 24 hours in the day, and the period from 3 to 4 p.m. resulted in more fatal accidents. More than two-thirds of all the accidents reported occurred in urban areas. The bigger the cities, the more accidents there were. Urban accidents totaled 103,843, rural 40,975. Plan Commission Attends Session Four members of the Adams county planning commission attended another of the weekly sessions of the Indiana university “Community Planning Institute’ held at the center in Fort Wayne Tuesday evening. Willidm F. Schnepf, president of the commission, stated that David Brower, -IU planner, reported that the Berne plan commission will meet with Gerwin K. Rohrbach, president of General Planning and Resource Consultants, St. Louis, M0.,-on April 16 to see if General meets the needs of the Berne community. Brower indicated that if he does, the state agency will recommend Rohrbach’s company to both Adams county and Berne. Schnepf stated that a person-by-person poll of the county group indicates that Rohrbach will be acceptable to the county, on the basis of his presentation here Monday.

Protest Votes May Come In Primary

By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Although Sen. Barry M. Goldwater and Governor Welsh appear to be cinclh winners in Indiana’s presidential primaries, two minor presidential bidders are likely to shed light on the opinions of Hoosier voters. Republican liberals and those worried about Goldwater’s extreme right-wing proposals may turn by the thousands in the balloting to former Minnesota Gov. Harold E. Stassen. Also, numerous Democrats who are fearful of the civil rights program of President Johnson or who wish to punish Welsh for his part in the enactment of 1963 tax laws may perhaps vote for Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace in protest. The powers that be in the Hoosier GOP are almost solidly for Goldwater, but not all of the rank and file are in his camp. Goldwater Weakness There appears to be some concern whether Goldwater’s firm program in foreign relations will plunge the nation into war. Women voters are especially fearful, according to a number of politicos. Also, there is some suspicion that Goldwater might tamper with the popular social security setup if he goes to the White House. Nearly all citizens believe they have paid for their social security benefits and that they are not federal giveaways. There likewise is a degree of liberal sentiment among Hoosier GOP voters because of the state’s industrialization, it has been said. In the words of State Sen. Roy Conrad, Monticello, newlynamed Indiana manager of the presidential campaign of New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller: “Indiana is not as conservative as you may think.” Stassen wil profit from any an t i-Goldwater sentiment, al-Car-Tractor Crash Fatal To One Man By United Press International A fiery collision between a car and a farm tractor killed a man today and raised Indiana’s 1964 traffic fatality toll to at least 238 compared & with 236 a year ago. -/ , The victim Was Leonard H. Jeffries, 50, R. R. 1, Wilkinson, operator of the tractor. The accident happened on Indiana 234 about four miles east of the intersection with Indiana 9 northeast of Greenfield.

though he is no longer the youthful shining knight in arrpor of the Republican liberals and ’internationalists of yore and has become a balding perpetual candidate past middle age. Record As Loser Stassen, whose presidential possibilities are considered negative, has a record as loser in bids for president, governor of Pennsylvania and mayor of Philadelphia. Stassen, undaunted by his numerous defeats, announced Monday that he will speak in many parts of the state before the primary on May 5. The Wallace vote is expected to come from Gary, Indianapolis and other large cities in which there is speculation whether passage of civil rights legislation will damage property values in former all-white neighborhoods or lose jobs for whites to Negro workers. It also must not be forgotten that in a number of small cities and towns, whites in the past have opposed any influx of Negroes as citizens. Lest we forget, it was only 40 years ago that Indiana was a citadel of the Ku Klux Klan and that in 1960 the state elected a Democratic governor while John F. Kennedy was beaten by 225,000 votes.
