Red China Sends Troops To Border

LONDON »UPI> — Communist China today was reported to have sent reinforcements to its Border with the Soviet Union in Central Asia, where frontier incidents have been frequent in recent months. The strengthening of the long, remote border coincided with reports that the Soviet-Chinese frontier talks in Peking have run into difficulty, with little prospect of a settlement. The Soviets already have told the Chinese and the world that any major border revision is out of the question, although minor changes may be discussed. But Peking recently has revived old' complaints about the territorial expansion of czarist Russia in Asia, and has hinted it might claim Far Eastern portions of the Soviet Union, including the Vladivostok naval base. The Soviets were understood

to have reinforced their side of the border some time ago, charging Peking with 5,000 border violations from Sinkiang Province alone. The border quarrel has thrown more light on the seriousness of the Sino-Soviet conflict, which now goes far beyound the mere ideological differences between the former Communist Allies. The Peking border talks were initiated at Moscow's suggestion in February. A speech by the Soviet Union’s chief theoretician Mikhail Suslov, released in Moscow earlier this month, disclosed that Russia proposed the talks “in the belief that no territorial issues exist between China and the U.S.S.R., that the Soviet-Chinese border took shape historically and that only some sections of the Border are concerned where it may be necessary to describe the frontier with greater precision.”* Peking, however, has put forward the idea that "when conditions are ripe for it” it might stake a claim to important areas ceded to Russia under “unequal treaties” during the past century. ' These include important portions of Central Asian parts of Russia, including southeast Siberia, with Vladivostok and some of its vital Far Eastern industrial centers. , Orientation Meeting At State School An orientation meeting will be; held at the Fort Wayne State’ School, Thursday, April 23, fort all interested in becoming volun-| teers and those presently serv-| ing as volunteers for the mental | health association.

Girl Dies In Cleveland In Racial Scrap By United Press International The current school segregation controversy in Cleveland, Ohio, has claimed its second life. A five-year-old girl, Randy Gaskin. was killed Monday when she darted in front of a city bus after leaving a “freedom school” set up by a civil rights group. □ The girl was on? of the 50,000 to 60,000 students who boycotted Cleveland public schools Monday in a protest against de facto segregation. Earlier this month, the Rev. Bruce Klunder a white Presbyterian minister, was killed accidentally by a bulldozer during a demonstration at a school construction site. At Jacksonville. Fla., Monday, a white bus driver was attacked by four brick-slinging Negro youths in that city’s first racially connected violence in three weeks. The driver was not hurt seriously. Congressional civil rights leader Emanual Celler said in a speech in New York City Monday night that a threatened “stall-in” at the opening of the World’s Fair was an act of irresponsibility. An integrationist group has threatened to tie up traffic on all roads leading to the fair Thursday as a means of dramatizing the fight against racial discrimination. A New York state judge Monday issued a temporary injunction against a “stall-in.” Elsehwere: Jackson, Miss.: A state Senate committee Monday passed a bill to drop biracial Tougaloo Southern Christian College from the state’s accreditation list. Hillsboro, N.C.: Eighteen racial demonstrators pleaded no contest Monday to charges of blocking a highway and resisting arrest and were given sentences ranging from 60 days to six months in jail, suspended on condition they not participate in any further demonstrations. Notasulga, Ala.: State Fire Marshal J. V. Kitchens said Monday the destruction of a recently desegregated high school by fire over the weekend “definitely appears to be a case of arson.”

Southern Rhodesia Affects All Africa

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst On Jan. l of this year a noble experiment designed to prove black Africans’ and white’s ability to live and work together came to an end. Poor and over-populated Nyasaland and copper-rich Northern Rhodesia became selfgoverning British protectorates, with Britain retaining control of foreign affairs, defense and police. Southern Rhodesia, with its cattle ranches and tobacco plantations, resumed its status of self-governing British colony and a policy of white supremacy closely akin to that of its neighbor, the Union of South Africa. The Central African Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland had lasted just over 10 years and it had collapsed on the same grounds that had led black Africans to oppose it in Says Hoosiers Ground-Bound In Thinking By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The woman who has the direct responsibility for scheduling Indiana’s state governmental air travel said today Hoosiers are still ground - bound in their thinking. Mrs. Westher Berner, a veteran pilot who has flown for 19 years, was assigned by Indiana aeronautics director James McManus to handle schedules for the state air travel plan when it was" begun a few months ago. She said so far scheduling has been smooth, with no conjflicts among state officials, who have priority ratings for requesting airplane transportation. “One time the Lieutenant Governor had the twin-engine Beech and the Governor wanted it, but it worked out all right, Mrs. Berner recalled. Lt. Gov. Richard Ristine. a Republican, has No. 2 priority, while Gov. Welsh, a Democrat, rates first. Mrs. Berner recalled that Welsh had indicated he could arrange to use one of the smaller planes in the event the seven-place twin - engine plane was back in time. But the main problem has been to get Hoosier governmental below Welsh and Ristine to start thinking in terms of a plane instead of a car, she conceded. “Tl\e plan is going to work real fine but it will take a while,” Mrs. Berner commented. “Some people in state government do not seem to think the plane is here to stay.” However, she and McManus, who also is serving as Welsh’s news secretary, said if is just as well the demand hasn’t been too heavy. The recent death pf one of the two pilots assigned to the larger plane left the air service in a troublesome spot. Mrs. Berner. McManus and Robert Winter, all Aeronautics Commission personnel, have the experience to fly as Chief Pilot Elmer Pohl’s co-pilot but have other duties. In addition. Mrs. Berner feels strongly that a woman pilot should never pilot the governor’s plane. She feels that such an assignment would attract adverse criticism to the fledgling air service. However. Mrs. Berner was described by McManus as “one of the smoothest pilots I ever rode with.” Born in Houston, Tex.. Mrs. Berner learned to fly at a school near her home and soon was flying as a military ferry pilot. The flights took her to many air bases in the United States and Canada in all sorts of craft. After World War 11. she was pilot for a Houston radio executive before moving to Indiana. Currently her duties in addition to jpbbling three state planes assigned to, the air transport pool, include air-marking. She and other members of the Ninety-Nines, a women's flying organization, are staging penny -a - pound" flights to raise money for such air-marking of ground sites.’ such as -roofs or water towers, so a small plane pilot can navigate visually. The first such flight produced 500 takers at an Indianapolis airport. Flights planned for Bloomington and Richmond ran into weather problems but another such money-raising effort is planned by the Ninety-Nines at Sheridan Sunday. Mrs. Berner praises the Indiana Civil Rights Commission as one of the state’s air-minded governmental groups. The entire commission has scheduled a flight to South Bend today for a there..

the first place—the fear of domination by a white minority. And it is against this background that violence now sweeps i Southern Rhodesia where about 220,000 whites dominate the lives of more than 3.5 million Africans. Refuse Independence Politically, the issue lies between Southern Rhodesia’s demand for independence from Britain and Britain’s refusal to grant it before the whites grant political and social equality to the blacks.. Internally, it has meant the fall of moderate Prime Minister Winston J. Field and the rise of lan Douglas Smith, rancher. World War II hero and outpoken racist. The new governments’ banishment of Joshua Nkomo, a nationalist leader, led directly to mob action by Africans chanting “Nkomo owns the land.”. Externally, it arouses the possibility that Southern Rhodesia may become the first colony since the American Revolution to declare its own independence from Britain. How Southern Rhodesia goes also effects the future of Africa as a whole. Has Protective Buffer The prosperous Union of South Africa has been able to follow its own white supremacy line partly through the protection of buffer states, of which Southern Rhodesia is one, which cut it off from the nationalism of new African nations. An independent Southern Rhodesia might' join with the Union of South Africa or it might seek its prosperity through trade overseas, going through Portuguese Mozambique. The latter course is hazardous since Portuguese African holdings themselves are under attack by African nationalists. In the former course, the Union of South Africa’s borders would move up next to those of avowed enemies. In that event, the black Africans would obtain “privileged sanctuaries” providing avenues of safe attack on the white supremacists in both Southern Rhodesia and the Union of South Africa. Superior Rating To Willshire Student At state science day held at the youth center, Ohio expositions grounds in Columbus Saturday, Robert Anderson, Willshire, Ohio, was awarded a rating of superior for a research project titled “The Atom Orbital board” in the field of chemistry. State science day is sponsored annually by the Ohio academy of science and brings together some 600 outstanding high school research projects selected from the many thousands prepared by Ohio high school science students during the year. Ratings are: (1) superior, (2) excellent and (3) good, but all projects worthy of entry at state science day indicate outstanding ability and long hours of work on the part of the student. Any student should be proud of his selection to participate in this state finals of high schoool science. Robert is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Anderson, formerly of Decatur. His grandmother, Mrs. J. E. Anderson, and aunts, Mrs. Josephine Neireiter and Mrs. Ina Napier, reside at Four Acres, Decatur route 5.

Rail Dispute Negotiators In Long Session WASHINGTON (UPI) — Rail road management and union negotiators worked throughout the night and into the early morning hours today in a drive to avert a nationwide rail strike that is scheduled to start next Saturday. The session began at midnight at the request of federal mediators, and lasted until around 7 am., EST. A White youse spokesman emphasized that no final agreement was near in the dispute. However, it was one of the few meetings where negotiators for both sides have met together in recent days. Government mediators have been meeting with rail and union officials separately. Whit House Press Secretary George E. Reedy pictured President Johnson Monday as neither optimistic nor pessimistic about the progress of negotiations at this point. The President won a 15-day truce April 10, only hours before an economy - wrecking strike was scheduled to go into effect. Chain Os Mishaps Follows First Lady WASHINGTON (UPI) — A travel-weary Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson returned to the White House early today from a “highly interesting” trip to Cleveland that included a lightning scare, rain end an unexpected 9-hour motor trip. The chain of mishaps began early Monday when the commercial airliner carrying the First Lady and her party was struck by what appeared to be lightning but was a discharge of Lines said was a discharge of static electricity. The plane landed safely at Cleveland after giving Mrs. Johnson and her party some anxious moments. “Os course I was scared,” the First Lady told accompanying reporters. “Weren’t you?” The trip ended when a sixcar motorcade arrived at the White House shortly before 130 a.m., EST, today. The trip was somewhat monotonous, but not uneventful. The First Lady’s party was held up for a time on the Pennsylvania Turnpike when a blocked fuel filter had to be replaced on her limousine. In the crowded hours between, Mrs. Johnson toured a model housing development for the elderly, made a speech before a national YWCA meeting and had tea with a group of prominent Cleveland women.

New Rain Torrents Fall Over Indiana

By United Press International New torrents of rain fell on parts of storm-soaked Indiana today and flushed streams beyond their banks in the state’s third overflow in seven weeks. Flash floods, surface water and clogged storm sewers caused considerable inconvenience and property damage in lowlying homes in parts of the state. A few schools were closed by rising waters, and a few roads were blocked as impassable. Good news was contained in the latest weather forecasts, however. Indiana will emerge from its downpour-producing cloud cocoon by this evening, if not earlier, and Wednesday and Thursday will be rainless. The latest rains doused the state with precipitation amounts up to more than three inches for the 24-hour period ending at 7 a.m. EST today. They raised the three-day total for some weather stations to more than five inches and some two-day totals to more than five inches. The rain sent streams spurting upward sharply and additional heavy showers from hour to hour kept river forecasters frustrated in their efforts to establish crest predictions that would be reliable. The White River at Muncie reached 11.94 feet, its highest point since 1958. Severe thunderstorm alerts were issued after dawn today for northern areas as heavy ,rain and strong gusty surface winds swept eastward from Illinois. Some 24-hour rainfall totals included Winchester 3.17, Anderson 3.00, Muncie 3.04, Noblesvile 2.36, Ewood 2.17, Zionsvie 2.20. Sheblyville 1.98, Indianapolis 1.41, Lafayette 1.36, Fort Wayne 1.17. Far north and far south points were spared the dousing that hit a broad midstate area. Evansville added only .01 of an inch in a full day and South Bend .48. But it was a different story in the Hoosier midsection. Some of the 72-hour totals were Knightstown 5.47, Zionsville 5.23, Lafayette 4.83. Rushville 4.30, Indianapolis 4.07. Some 48-hour totals were Anderson 5.30, Winchester 4.42. Noblesville 4.14, Crawfordsville 4.29. The storms mostly represented a bark worse than the bite. They growled ominously, but .in most instances, only Substitute Cream If you find you are out of cream for your coffee, beat the yolk of an egg until light, then add a teaspoon of sugar and a little water. Place a portion of this in the cups before pouring your coffee.

heavy rain resulted. There were a few exceptions. In the New Salem area about seven miles southeast of Rushville, gusts of wind ripped down two barns and blew the roofs from two houses. Trees were uprooted and an old school building used for grain storage was demolished. ‘ Ralph Herbert, who was driving along a Rush County road when the storm hit, watched trees topple ahead of him. He stopped, climbed from his car and sought safety while the wind blew the old school building over on the car. Forecasts called for showers to end by tonight, temperatures to turn cooler with lows in the 40s and low 50s, and fair to partly cloudy skies with mild temperatures Wednesday. Thursday will be fair and mild. Highs Monday ranged from a cool 50 at Fort Wayne to 81 at Evansville. Overnight lows ranged from 45 at Fort Wayne to 67 at Evansville. Highs today will range from 68 to 82 and highs Wednesday from the low 60s to the low 70s.
