Lodge And Scranton Rolli Up Impressive Primary Votes In Home States

Drive To Sidetrack Wallace In Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndiana Democrats got down to serious work today in their drive to sidetrack the hopes of Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace in the state’s May 5 Democratic presidential preference primary. Governor Welsh, who is run- _j ning as a favorite son standin for President Johnson in the primary, will speak over a network of 16 television stations around the state tonight and will be the featured speaker Friday night at a rally here. The speech tonight will be part of a massive television campaign which also will feature taped speeches by attorney Charles Morgan, Brimingham, Ala.; —a former Wallace supporter who came here to aid Welsh. James Mcßride Dabbs, former president of the Southern Regional Council, will share the platform with Welsh at the Friday night rally. Welsh told a news conference Tuesday that he had canceled all scheduled out-of-state appearances between now and the primary in order to devote his time to the campaign.. Declines Invitation In addition to canceling a scheduled speech next Monday at 1 Colby College, Waterville, Maine, Welsh said he would reject until, after the primary an invitation from the Montgomery Junior Chamber of Commerce to visit the Alabama capital. The invitation, issued Tuesday, offered Welsh a chance to express his civil rights views at any regular or special meeting of the club. The Montgomery Jayc e e s have gained national attention in their all-out drive against the pending civil rights bill. In a statement Tuesday night, Welsh said Wallace was “too busy spreading his distorted version of the civil rights bill in Indiana to take a hand in stopping such flagrant attacks upon Banning Head Os Appreciation Group : Herbert Banning, manager of Holthouse on the Highway, and president of the North Adams community schools board, will serve as chairman of the appreciation committee honoring Decatur Industries, Inc., Gilpin Ornamental Iron and Duo-Marine, Inc., the three present Industrial, park industries, Lawrence E. Anspaugh, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said today. The three industries will hold open house Sunday, May 10, and the people of Decatur are honoring them with a banquet Monday ■ evening, Mav 11. Serving with Banning are Paul Strickler, Ferris Bower, Harry Schwartz, James Cowens, and Rov Kalver, Anspaugh said. The open house will be held from 1:30 until 4 p.m. Sunday, May 10, and the industrial park industries will conduct tours through their individual factories. The general public is invited to attend. Sponsoring the honoring ceremonies are the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, Lions and Jaycees. Their members will be on hand to assist in the onen house. Ansoaugh said. Tickets for the May 11 dinner • have been mailed out to those persons who are members of the sponsoring groups. The general nublic is invited to buv tickets < for the dinner, which will include both men and their wives, at the Chamber office, First State Bank, Holthouse Drug, or Holt- ■ house on the Highway. Banning stated that he is now preparing the program for the meeting, and he and his commit- 1 tee wilL soon announce more details. '

law and order” as the burning of a recently integrated school at Notasulta, Ala. The Indiana Council of Churches also joined in the attack on Wallace in a statement issued Tuesday, urging that the U.S. Senate “get on with voting on a strong civil rights bill.” The council also announced that clergymen of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths will hold a news conference here Thursday morning to discuss issues in the campaign. Hit One-Party System In the Tuesday statement, the council said that Wallace “wants no competition for his one-party system... In any one-party state there must be cruelty, not because of hate, but because of the fear in the hearts of the rulers that they may be upset. Whether that one-party state is Alabama or Nazi Germany, this will be true.” State Sen. Marshall Kiler, DPlymouth, one of seven candidates for the Democratic nomination to succeed Welsh, again joined in the attack on Wallace Tuesday. Addressing a De mo t ratic group at Beech Grove Tuesday night, Kizer said “We go to the polls on May 5 to defend or to turn our backs on the American way of life ...” He said Wallace “is here to try and get the people of Indiana to help him in” his battle to save the - police state of Alabama. He wants decent people, like you and me, to let him continue his kind of state government, his kind of states’ rights where the government of the state tolerates the murdering of children, refuses to properly discipline killers, where churchest are bombed, dogs are turned loose on people who demonstrate and police keep records of farmers, factory workers, businessmen and ministers who speak out against the governor.” Hold May Fellowship Meeting Saturday Using the theme, “One family under God: freedom of residence and job opportunity,” the Decatur council of united church women will hold its annual May fellowship meeting at the Church of God Saturday morning, opening with a breakfast at 9:15 o’clock. The guest speaker will be the Rev. John Dixie, pastor of the— Pilgrim Baptist church in Fort Wayne for the past 33 years. He is also presently serving as moderator of the Northern Baptist missionary association and president of the Fort Wayne ministerial alliance. A trio composed of Mrs. Kenneth Roop, Mrs. Kenneth Watkins and Mrs. Willard Landis will furnish special music. Others taking part in the service will be Mrs. Lawrence Rash, Mrs. Wesley Lehman, Mrs. Robert McQuaid, Mrs. A. C. Underwood, Miss Phyllis Singleton aWd Mrs. Huston Bever. Mrs. Harry Dailey will be the organist and Mrs. Kenneth Watkins will lead the singing. The offering will be used to de- ’ velop and strengthen the work of the local council. May fellowship day is an annual observance sponsored by united church women, a general department of the national council of churches, and the Decatur council is one of the 2,300 local and state councils taking part in the observance. All women are invited and it is hoped each church will have a good representation present. Cost of the breakfast is 50 cents. A nursery will be provided for pre-school children.

By United press International Two unannounced Republican prospects — Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge and Gov. William Scranton — rolled to impressive home state primary victories today in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. On the Democratic side of the ballot, President Johnson demonstrated his political popularity with resounding write-in triumphs. In Massachusetts, Lodge, the U.S. ambassador to South Viet Nam, was running up a margin of nearly 8 to 1 over his nearest . rival, Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. In Pennsylvania, Scranton, whose named appeared on the ballot as a “reluctant” favorite son, was polling a probable record write-in vote for the Keystone State. The governor himself expressed amazement St the size of the vote and state GOP leaders urged him to “stand available” as a presidential candidate at the July convention. Johnson easily outscored Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy in the latter’s home state of Massachusetts and the President was given an enthusiastic write-in vote in Pennsylvania. Neither he nor Kennedy were active candidates in the primaries. Lodge Is DeligMfd Lodge was openly delighted over his second “write-in” triumph in recent months — the first coming in New Hampshire —although he has made no formal declaration of his candidacy. In Saigon, the 1960 GOP vice presidential candidate issued a statement in which he said “it means much to me that my “fellow citizens of Massachusetts should show this confidence. I shall always do my utmost to deserve their trust.” With 1,055 of Massachusetts’ 1,764 precincts reporting, the ambassador polled 27,483 Votes to Goldwater’s 3,577. Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, Scranton, Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, Michigan Gov. George Romney and Harold Stassen trailed in that order. Kennedy Far Behind From the Democrats, Johnson received 24,918 votes. Kennedy, brother of the late President, tallied 7,124. The Pennsylvania results from 7,463 of 9,261 precincts gave Scranton 176,957 votes. His nearest rival was Lodge who polled 61,620. Nixon, Goldwater and Rockefeller trailed in that order. In Pennsylvania. Scranton’s supporters were at first disheartened when an all-day drizzle appeared to wash away their hopes of a solid write-in vote for their man. Push Scranton Campaign But late returns from Pennsylvania’s rural areas gave the governor more than six times the number given his nearest competitor, Henry Cabot Lodge causing the governor’s supporters to urge him to “be available” as a possible GOP presidential candidate. Massachusetts was another solid victory for Lodge, who earlier had won the primary in nearby New Hampshire on write-in votes while serving, as U.S. ambassador in faraway South Viet Nam. It also helped him in the race for the GOP presidential nomination and put yet another crimp in the plans of two of his rivals, Goldwater and New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. One odd feature of the Massachsuetts primary was that Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, a Democrat and another native son, at one point had more GOP votes for President than the combined total cast for Maine Sen. Margaret Chase Smith", Michigan Gov. George W. Romney and former Minnesota Gov. Harold Stassen. Both Stassen and Mrs. Smith are declared candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. ,

In a statement today, Anspaugh related his feelings about the award and the community when he said, “I sincerely feel that this honor should be shared by not only our studio, but also by the fine people of the Decatur community. Because, without their support and appreciation of our efforts since our studio opened in 1946, these achievements would not have been possible." < Roy P. Whitton To Speak Here Thursday Roy P.
