Nation Pays Respect To Gen. MacArthur

NEW YORK (UPD—The body of old soldier Douglas MacArthur lies in public repose today to receive the last respects of the nation for which he fought as a general in three wars. General of the Army MacArthur, who until his death was the nation’ss highest ranking military officer, lies in the armory of the Seventh Regiment which he served as a brigade commander in World War I. The public was to be admitted to the Park Avenue armory at 10 a.m. EST where the big brass doors would remain open into the night — until there no longer were any mourners wishing to enter. Before the public is allowed in to pay its respects, a brief memorial service will be held in the oak-paneled conference room where the body rests atop a four-foot bier.

The flag-draped casket was transported in an eight-ye-hicle motorcade through nearly deserted Manhattan streets during a driving rainstorm. It was accompanied by eight military pallbearers, two color guards and 20 honor guards from the five armed services. The body of the general, who died Sunday in Walter Reed Army Medical Center at the age of 84, is clad in a plain tropical worsted uniform, devoid of the many medals—in-, eluding the Medal of Honor — which he won during a 61-year career as a soldier. Only the five stars of a general of the Army were pinned on his

Strike By Belgian Doctors Continues BRUSSELS (UPD—Thousands of workers angrily demonstrated against the Belgian doctors’ strike today while judicial authorities nvestigated the deaths of a baby and a school teacher which may have been linked to the week-old nationwide walkout. Labor leaders at an outdoor meeting of some 3,000 demonstrating workers in the town of Giliy pleaded with the striking to resume home visits to ailing children and old age * pensioners. At a Socialist party meeting in Fontaine Leveque, Parliament member Ernese Glinne urged the government to draft all doctors who hold military reserve officer ranks. The magistrate in the Flemish city of Turpohout today, announced an order for the formal arrest of two doctors taken into custody and questioned Monday about the death of an 18-month-old boy. His parents called for medical aid last Saturday but it took more than nine hours to get a physician because their family doctor was on strike. The mayor of Bray in south Belgium today’ ordered a judicial investigation into the death of teacher Raymond Donnez, 42. whose widow claimed she tried vainly for an hour to contact a doctor. Despite rising protests, the doctors gave no sign of abandoning their strike.

By RAY J. MOLONEY . United Press International NICOSIA, Cyprus (UPD — Turkey served notice on Greece today that it will land an expeditionary force on Cyprus if the troops it already has here are attacked by islanders of Greek descent. A note delivered in Athens advised the Greek government that Turkey would regard such an attack as an attack on its own soil. The Turks do not recognize the right of President Makarios to repeal the treaty under which they maintain troops on Cyprus. Turkish Ambassador Nedim Veysel said the note was deliv-' ered with urgency because the Turks had information that an attack bn their troops was planned. Greek Foreign Minister Stavros Kostopoulos, to whom Veysel handed the note, expressed astonishment at the hour of the delivery—3 a.m. U.N. troops patroled strategic ridges in western Cyprus today, trying to enforce a shaky ceasefire between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The truce was negotiated by U.N. officers Monday night after four persons were killed in fighting around the towns of Kokkina and Pakhyammos.

ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ADAMS COUNTY

Decatur, Indiana, 46733, Tuesday, April 7, 1964.

I Buy New Equipment! For County Farm New equipment for the county farm, a petition for paving a Blue Creek township road, and the court house parking problem oe* cupied the Adams county commissioners Monday afternoon. The commissioners gte lunct? while inspecting the county farm, and enjoyed the hospitality of the farm while making certain that the residents there are fairly treated and well fed. The commissioners had Charles Morgan, county farm manager, check on the cost of equipment, and purchased a hay rake and cultipacker from Robert Siting, Decatur Equipment, for $630. It was the lowest price of any of the five places checked, they stated. Bids do not have to be advertised under $2,000. Four men from Blue Creek township, including William Burke, Marvin Haines, and Morris Miller, asked that county road 17, which rUtte two miles from the Salem road to their church, be paved. The commissioners took the matter under advisement. The commissioners discussed the matter of parking, with toe possibility of leasing indoor parking across the street, or building a parking lot on the court house Ihwn for court house employes, being discussed. No conclusions were reached. The commissioners also examined the location of the master switch for the new elevator which was originally installed in the men’s rest room in the court house. This has already proved very unsuitable, with the mechanism already damaged and parts stolen. The construction company has decided to move it to a new location, beside the elevator shaft. The metal frame for the new Stairway has been installed around the cement elevator shaft and it is hoped that the new stairway will soon be installed, so that it can be used for those having business upstairs in the court house.

By United Press International Tornado winds smashed several homes in a swath across north Alabama today. Several injuries were reported. At least four communities reported that damaging winds struck during the morning. The Birmingham Weather Bureau described the storms as “small type Police said the dam age might have been caused by one tornado skipping across the three-county area. The twisters struck at the Longview and Vinemontcommunities north of Cullman, Arab and the Oak Hill community near Crossville, north of Gadsden. The line of damaged areas ran west to east across Cullman, Marshall and Dekalb counties. Twenty homes were darpaged and three destroyed" at Longview. Several homes were destroyed at Vinemont, two at Oak Hill and a case was demolished at Arab. The Weather Bureau issued a tornado forecast for the northern portions of Alabama and Georgia and western South Carolina.

A 2-inch rainfall in 12 hours caused flash flooding along creeks near Chattanooga, Tenn. Wind gusts up to 70 miles an hour during the night damaged

Near-Record Vole Likely In Wisconsin MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPD — A near-recor<j one million voters were expected to vote today in the nation’s second presidential primary of the year with civil rights the central issue. The key contestants were Wisconsin Gov. John Reynolds and Alabama Gov. George Wallace, a Southern segregationist whose entry into the Democratic race transformed a lackluster primary into what now is considered a significant referendum on civil rights. Today’s turnout was expected to approach the 1960 primary record, when the late President John F. Kennedy started on the road to the White House with a victory over Sen. Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn. The weather forecast was for cloudy skies with occasional snow or flurries in the northwest and temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s. ' , Differ on Percentage Reynolds and Wallace differ in their opinions on what percentage of the vote the Alabama governor needs to claim a victory for the Southern voice against the civil rights bill. Reynolds freely predicts Wallace could get 100,000 votes. He breaks the figure into 35,000 votes from.the “fanatical right wing” with the rest coming from persons opposed to the bill and those personally opposed to him. Wallace has said he would claim a triumph with as few as 25,000 votes. The Wallace-Reynolds battle has drawn the attention of party leaders all the way up to President Johnson, who along with Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy threw his support to Reynolds.

Braun Heirs Ditch Approved By Court Die Braun heirs ditch, which is located in Washington township south of Decatur and which flows into a small creek that enters the St. Mary’s river between Bbrum’s Run and Yellow Creek, was approved Monday by the Indiana appellate court following ten years litigation. The appellate court upheld the earlier decision of Judge Myles F. Parrish, of the Adams circuit court. John L. DeVoss, Decatur attorney, C. R. McNabb and Thomas D. Logan, Fort Wayne attorneys, represented those who wanted the ditch, which included Albert F. Braun, Herman L. Braun, Naomi A. Braun, Margaret M. Braun, Victor L. Baltzell, Alice M. Baltzell, Harry M. Bowers, Cirgene L. Bowers, J. J. Yost, Ida S. Yost, Belle Walters, Freeman H. Walters, Earl L. Harmon, Ireta Harmon, Clem Colchin, George E. Thomas, Margaret T. Thomas, Wilbur R. Stanley, Elva M. Stanley, Floyd Mitchel and Veda Mitchel. Losing the case were Thompson R. Noll, Allie Noll and Eloise A. Noll, represented by Hubert R. McClenahan of Decatur, B&r---rett, Barrett & McNagny, and J. Michael O’Hara, of Fort Wayne. Filed in 1954 Die case was originally filed in 1954, but did not come to issue until 1962, when Judge Parrish ruled in favor of the ditch. It was then assessed at costs totaling $13,997 to those whose land was involved. The three objectors then appealed to-the Indiana appellate court. The appellate court decision, written by Justice C. J. Carson, stated that the action came from the Adams circuit court and involves a decision of the trial court on issues joined upon the final decision of the surveyor and remonstrances thereto filed by the appellants (the Nolls) with reference to the establishment of a drainage ditch in Adams county. The lower court found against the remonstrators, and the appeal was processed. Tile Inadequate The ditch would replace a presently inadequate tile drain, which lies in the bed of the former Braun heirs ditch. The appellate court held that the motion filed by Nolls? attorneys failed to make a proper assignment of errors, and no error was presented for their consideration. Justices Cooper, Ryan and Faulc'oner concurred.

Maiden Flight Is Planned On | Space Capsule CAPE KENNEDY (UPD — U.S. scientists today sidelined the unique rocket test of a “flying thermometer” a”nd turned their attention to Wednesday’s planned maiden flight of a Gemini space capsule. The 7,000-pound Gemini, unmanned but highly instrumented, was poised atop a two-stage Titan-2 booster for a flight to pave the way for space voyages by U.S. astronauts late this year or in early 1965. The federal space agency wants to send the capsule into a low orbit around earth to test launching techniques. The craft is an early model of ’Gemini spaceships that two-man astronauts will ride. On a launching pad several miles away, an Atlas missile with a 200-pound payload called “Fire-1” in its nose remained securely locked. An attempt to shoot the probe 5,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean Monday was called off because of foul weather in the planned target area. Scientists needed virtually unhampered visibility to track the probe as a second-stage Antares rocket rammed it back through atmosphere at a speed of seven miles per second. The test is designed to measure the sort of atmospheric heat that U.S. moonships would face on returns from lunar landing trips. The alunching of Fire-1, which one expert called a giant “thermometer,” was rescheduled for Friday. Scientists also were demanding nearly ideal weather—this time in the Cape Kennedy launching area—for the Gemini shot. Camera coverage will play a vital role in determining the success of the attempt. On hand to witness the firing will be the-flation’s entire team of 29 astronauts, officials said. The first men to ride the Genital craft Into space will come trom this group, and the pilots are expected to be announced within the next ” few days or weeks.

Soviet Press Keeps Up Chinese Attacks

MOSCOW (UPI) — The Soviet Union today rallied more support for its ideological fight with Communist China and published new denunciations of Peking for “slander on the Soviet people.” The Communist party newspaper Pravda printed pledges of support from the Communist parties of Bulgaria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, West Germany, and from leaders of the Soviet party for the policies of Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev. The Soviet press was keeping up the attacks on Peking at home while Khrushchev, touring Hungary, made anti-Chi-nese speeches abroad. Pravda, following up a personal attack on Mao Tze-tung in Monday’s Izvestia, said a meeting of the Uzbekistan Republic Central Committee denounced the “anti-Leninist platform and splitting activities of the Communist party of China.” Afraid of Cooperation One speaker, K. Murtazayev, said the Chinese Communists “are afraid that cooperation with the U.S.S.R. might bring to China the fresh cleansing wind of the ideas of the 20th and 22nd party congresses.” It was at these congresses that Khrushchev started and carried through his denunciation of Stalin. One of the charges Moscow brings against Peking is that it is a Stalinist regime. Izvestia Monday made a rare personal attack on the leader of a foreign Communist party when it accused Mao of promoting a personality cult, the same charges made against Stalin. The government. newspaper said this of the Chinese: “They blow the fanfares for the whole world to hear about Local Lady's Sister Is Taken By Death Mrs. Florence E.
