MRS. MABEL FOWLER and her 14 children, of Red Rock, Ont., hold the record of being the largest family ever admitted to Mooseheart. The family arrived at the famed Moose City of Children on Sept. 1. 1961. Because Francis W. Fowler was a member in good standing of Nipigon, Ont., Moose lodge No. 1764 at the time of his death in April of 1961, his family wZis eligible to make application to Mooseheart. He had been a member since 1955 and had paid approximately SIOO in dues to the Nipigon lodge. For this investment, his children will spend an aggregate total of 143 years at Mooseheart. Each of the eight boys and six girls in the Fowler family will remain at Mooseheart until he or she has been graduated from the high school there, and the entire cost will be born by the Moose fraternity. Stanley Callow, governor of the Decatur lodge, No. 1311, said that the local lodge has graduated 12 children from Mooseheart and at the present time has three adults at Moosehaven in Florida.

Says Russians Set Up Space Watch In Cuba MIAMI (UPD—Russian satellite watchers have set up a Cape Kennedy ringside seat in Cuba, according to Havana Radio and concerned Cuban exiles in Miami called the action “a military move, rather than merely scientific.” The announcement that the Soviets had installed a “satellite observation” station in Cuba was briefly announced by Havana Radio during a report on “a forum of technical revolution.” The forum was held at ~ the University of Havana Saturday night. The broadcast, heard in Miami, said veteran Communist leader Carlos Rafael presided at the forum and then added: “It was announced that on the previous evening (Friday) the first station for investigation of space satellites, installed by Soviet technicians, was officially inaugurated at 9:55 p.m. (EST).” The announcement came as the U.S. prepared to shoot a 300-pound “flying laboratory” from Cape Kennedy and readied for firing Wednesday a-n unmanned model of the Gemini space capsule. The Gemini is designed to carry two astronauts aloft. Cape Kennedy is about 400 miles northeast of Havana. The announcement did not say what type of satellites were to be watched. The phrase “missile tracking” was not used. On Feb. 26 the Soviet news agency Tass reported that Russia had sent a prominent scientist. Nikolai Yerpyiev, to Cuba to set up a satellite observation station. Yerpyiev is on the astronautical council of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

No Objection To Votes On Amendments WASHINGTON (UPD — A leading Senate opponent of the civil rights biill said today he has “no objection” to voting soon on amendments to test the administration’s resistance to changes in the measure. Sen. Sam J. Ervin, D-N.C., chairman of the constitutional rights subcommittee which normally handles such bills, said in an interview: “The crucial sections of the bill have got to be changed very drastically. It would not be inconsistent to vote for amendments to the employment section, for example, and then to vote to kill that “whole title. I have no objection to voting on amendments.” The first amendments expected to be considered ate those of Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen 111., to the fair employment section of the Housepassed measure. The bill would bar racial discrimination in voting, employment, unions, public accommodations, education and use of federal funds. Ervin said southerners, looking for voting to start perhaps in about two weeks, would have a chance to talk more directly about specific .parts of the bill in debate on amendments. Since the administration “wants the bill to pass without any change.” he said, acting on amendments would offer a chance to ““find out whether they mean it.” Senate Democratic Whio Hubert Humphrey. Minn., said he was encouraged by signs that southern opponents might be willing to vote on amendments in a week or two. Humphrey said he was not inviting amendments and would rather pass the House bill “as is.” But he said ' Dirksen’s employ m e nt amendments appeared to be “constructive.” He indicated he would be willing to vote on them if he felt they did not weaken the bill.

Cronin Says Yanks Look 'Very Strong' BOSTON (UPD — While he still would prefer a 10-team pennant race, realistic President Joe Cronin figures only four teams have good chances to take the 1964 American League flag away from the New York Yankees. Cronin returned home Monday from his annual tour of the spring training camps to announce that the Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers and Baltimore Orioles appear to be the most improved teams this season. The order of listing was his but he warned newsmen to attach no significance to it and repeated his statement that the Yankees “look very strong” again this season. Cronin said that new Yankee Manager Yogi Berra was not worried about his regular lineup but was concerned about his pitchng staff. Cronin added that the Yankee defenses looked “as good as ever” in Florida spring training game/ but noted that slugger Mickey Mantle wasn’t "stepping into 5 -’" practice game pitching while he was present. Cronin said he was relying on reports from other American League officials on the three teams, Boston, Los Angeles and Cleveland, who had been training in the West and added that his brief views of both the Kansas City and Washington teams in Florida showed both to be somewhat stronger than they were a year ago.
