Corning Plant Is Threatened By Duel INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A duel between two gas utilities seeking to serve the same prospective plant appeared today to threaten Indiana's "chances of acquiring a Corning Glass Works. An Indiana Public Service Commission hearing on competing petitions from Northern Indiana Public Service Co. and Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Co. ended Tuesday with a continuance to April 30. PSC attorney-examiner Robert Staton said “the Public Service Commission is very much concerned about the company locating in Indiana and does not want to prolong” the dispute. But comments made after the hearing by Corning vice president Thomas F. Wood, Jr., of Corning, N.Y., and by James Sikes, Washington, D.C. general sales manager for Panhandle, served to emphasize the problem. Wood earlier in the hearing Tuesday startled Panhandle attorneys by testifying he favored NIPSCO. The afternoon session was cross-examination by Panhandle attorneys of Wood during which they brought out that Panhandle had a contract with thenfirm ,to provide gas and had conferred with the firm several months prior to meetings with NIPSCO. Wood said his reason for changing his support to NIPSCO was because “we felt it was the only way we could get gas in time to meet our needs.” He said that he had no objection to being served by Panhandle if “we get the gas in time to meet our needs.” But on cross-examination Wood said his attorneys in New York and Indianapolis advised him that “the only way to get certification to meet our needs in time” was by favoring NIPSCO. Wood said “We want very badly to build in Indiana but we can’t build unless we have gas.” Sikes sairf* Panhandle had advised Corning of the advantages of the proposed Bluffton site and had done considerable preliminary work on the project. “We developed this one,” Sikes said, “and we don’t like the idea of having NIPSCO get it.” Bluffton Mayor Charles W. Decker, who was allowed to testify Tuesday as an intervening party, said he didn’t care which utility got the contract but he Was worried that the struggle between them might mean that the plant would go to another state.

Gov. Wallace In Challenge To Gov. Welsh INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace today “respectfully” challenged Governor Welsh to a debate on the issues in Indiana’s presidential primary. But Welsh promptly responded he was “not interested” now and could visualize no circumstances under which he would be interested in debating Wallace in the future. Wallace and Welsh are the only important candidates in the Hoosier Democratic • primary May 5. Welsh is the stand-in „ for President Johnson. However, in reply to a question whether his objective is the defeat of the President, Wallace refused to answer the query directly. “My objective is to conservatize both the Democratic and Republican parties,” he said. Wallace denied he invaded Indiana because President Kennedy lost the state by more than 220,000 votes or because Indiana once was a stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan. He said he was unaware of both conditions. Letters, Money Cited The receipt of many thousands of letters from Hoosiers induced Wallace to campaign in this state, he said. Thousands of dollars donated by members of unions of auto, steel and rubber workers in Alabama will help finance Wallace’s Indiana campaign, Wallace added. “I am running against all advocates of the bad civil rights bill,” Wallace asserted. “Indiana has a perfect right to adopt an integrated civil rights program, but I object to federal authorities enforcing their program in an invasion of the rights of states,” Wallace declared. The Alabaman denounced “social engineers from Washington trying to dictate to the people in any state.” He said his Wisconsin vote and his anticipated tally in Indiana will “shake the eye teeth of the liberals.” Would Lose Referendum Wallace said civil rights legislation would be defeated in a national referendum. 4 A woman Negro reporter questioned Wallace on whether he would debate a Negro, but he evaded her query. He said he hopes that murderers of Negroes in Alabama soon will be punished. He said his state contributes $700,000 a year to the Tuskegee Institute, a private institution.

and Alabama now has a fine educational system for both Negroes and whites. The Alabaman said he would campaign in northern Indiana and in other areas and soon would make his itinerary public. His campaign will be interspersed by touching base at Montgomery, Ala., between speeches, he added. While ‘Wallace was working his way through college, he sold magazines in Indiana communities along the Ohio River, he said. “Have you any real chance of being elected President?” Wallace was asked. “You can’t eVer tell,” he replied. The segregationist candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination flew Into Indianapolis in a private plane Tuesday night and kicked off his campaign today with a morning news conference at a donwtown hotel where his aides set up a headquarters Tuesday. Wallace, who claims he is running for president to fight the “ever-increasing powers of the federal government and to protect the rights of states,” told newsmen on his arrival here that his vote in the May 5 Indiana presidential preference primary will “shake the eye teeth out of the liberals.” Asked whether he entered the Indiana primary because the state was once a stronghold of the Ku Klux Klan, Wallace said he was not aware of that fact and that it did not influence his decision to enter the primary against Governor Welsh who is running as a “favorite son” standin for President Johnson. Wallace told newsmen at the airport where his plane arrived 45 minutes late because of high winds that he had received “hundreds of thousands” of letters from Hoosiers endorsing what he said was his stand in favor of local government and that thousands of other letters still had not been opened. He said he had no campaign organization here but added, “We didn’t have any organization in Wisconsin but we made a grassroots campaign and scored a terrific vote, although nearly all of the newspapers were against us.” Wallace arrived here in a twin-engined state-owned plane painted red, white and blue. It bore a sign reading, “Governor George C. Wallace. Stand Up For America.” There were no hecklers or pickets among the small group, mostly ijewsmea,. which met him at the airport. Tb» only Negro present was a cameraman for an Indianapolis television station (WFBM-TV). A different situation was expected later today, however, at Butler University where Wallace was to be interviewed for a later broadcast over the university radio station. A group of students has ob*

tained permission to picket his appearance as long as the demonstration remains orderly. Wallace was the second of three presidential candidates to visit the state to begin campaigns for the primary. Former Minnesota GoV. Harold Stassen opened his campaign Tuesday and is scheduled to return to Indiana next week for more campaigning. Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, R-Ariz., will be here next Monday night for a campaign speech at suburban Southport.
