Students Continue Protests In Korea
By PHIL NEWSOM UP! Foreign News Analayst There was something pathetic yet simultaneously humorous in the dispatches from Seoul •which told df 500 grade school children demonstrating against a decision reached by their elders. The demonstration did not get very far because these were children still possessed of a certain amount of awe for authority. And so when police sternly told them to go back to school, they promptly did so. The pathos arises fr om the fact they simply were aping the acts of their older brothers and sisters in adopting a means of DRIVE-IN ■ THEATER FRI. & SAT. Box Office Opens 7 P. M.

pressure which has become more and more away of life in the Republic of Korea's fumbling efforts to make itself a self-sustaining democracy. Topple Rhee Rule Demonstrations by college students throughout Korea led to the fall of the Syngman Rhee government, which admittedly had grown old and. corrupt. In these demonstrations in the spring of 1960 nearly 200 students died, more than 6,000 were injured and 200 maimed. Within a year, the students were back in the streets again, this time demanding the resignation of the government headed by Premier John M. Chang. The Chang government had proved itself a weak substitute for the Rhee regime. Whatever else the faults of the Rhee government, a tolerance of communism had not been among them. Under Chang, Communists from Japan and North Korea streamed into the country, reactivating their cells in every district of Seoul, in Pusan, Inchon and other cities. Junta Takes Over In May, 1961, after only a year in power, the Chang government fell to a military junta which remained in power until last winter’s elections in which junta leader Chung Hee Park switched from bis military role to that of civilian president. And once more, the students are in the streets. Already the student demonstrators appear to have destroyed any chance of an early successful conclusion to the long negotiations seeking to normalize relations between South Korea and Japan. Their complaints run the gamut from opposition to geisha houses to new charges of corruption within the government. „ Root Os Trouble At the root of their discontent is Jhe country’s growing economic difficulties and the scarcity of jobs for college graduates who pour out of Korean schols at the rate of more than 30,000 a year. Unemployment continues to rise, and many of Korea’s large and small industries are operating at less than half capacity.

Truman Is Still Man With Mission
By MARGARET RICHARDS and CARL CHRISTENSEN United Press International INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (UPD Harry S. Truman, who will be 80 Friday and still is engrossed in the nation’s future, remains a man with a mission. Between birthday celebrations that might have exhausted a much younger man, the former president checked off 11 busy years since he left the White House, and assessed his plans for the future. “The most important thing I can do for the country is to help educate its young folks in their government, the greatest government in history,” he said. “I’m ready to campaign (in the coming elections) if I can Mo some good. “There are still a lot of things I want to get done around here (the Truman Library) .. . probably . take about 10 years.” Recalls Jest Truman recalled a jest that he expected to live to be 90 and to run for president again when he reached that milestone. “But I can’t do it,”’ he said. “That’s an off-year.” In the meantime, if he can help his party, he is ready and obviously able to campaign in the 1964 elections. Recalling his election victory in 1948, when all the polls and most of the nation’s newspapers were predicting his defeat by Thomas Dewey, Truman said his views on campaigning have not changed. “Politics still is a matter of polling precincts and finding

A device to make this possible, called a Retrometer, has been built at Langley Research Center, Va , for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. As illustration above shows, a light beam is broken up into new wave lengths and returned beams are transformed into sound by means of a light-sensitive electronic receiver. While the scientific principle is not new the use of a “comer reflector” mirror to return the beam is an innovation. The mirror keeps the beam concentrated on the return journey. NASA has made the invention available to anyone who wishes to develop it. ■ : * M ——— ■ ——

out what the people think. The candidate who sees the most people and tells them what he’s for usually wins.” “Retired Farmer” Truman leaned back in the massive leather chair behind his massive desk, piled high with stacks of mail, and grinned. “I’m only a retired farmer and Democrat, and if the party wants me to help in this year’s campaign I will. “I don’t think much of television (as a campaign medium). Some fellows I recall got licked because they went on television with a good Democrat. And if you don’t know who I’m referring to, I won’t tell you.” On the day after tne huge 80’h birthday celebration last Friday at which the nation’s farmers paid him tribute, Truman was up at 5:30 a.m., as usual, and in his office in the Truman Library by about 7:30 a.m., also as usual. Truman once quipped that he liked to get to the office ahead of everybody else “b efo r e somebody censors my mail. I want to see it all.” Awards Contracts To I. 11., Notre Dame WASHINGTON (UPD — The Peace Corps announced Wednesday that ft had awarded contracts totaling almost $300,000 to two Indiana universities. Indiana University received $176,254 for secondary education projects in Sierra Leone while the University of Notre Dame received $120,898 for community development work in Chile and Uruguay.
Peterson Winner By Only Single Vote Two errors crept into the election stories in Wednesday’s Decatur Daily Democrat, a re-check of official records show today. Cal E. Peterson defeated Herman “Red” Lankenau by only one vote, 59 to 58, for delegate to the state convention, rather than by 13 votes, as given in Wednesday’s Decatur Daily Democrat. Peterson carried his home precinct, 2-A by a vote of 32-19, rather than by 39-14, as reported. In the Adams Central school board contest, Richard L. Borne, representing district 1, was elected to a four-year, rather than two-year, term; and Carl Fiechter was elected to a two-year, rather than four-year, term. In the future, all candidates will run for four-years terms. Also, on the precinct-by-pre-cint tally, a typographical error showed 37% of the vote for Stassen; this should have been 30%. Reckless Driving Charged Motorist Hope Gaynell Neal, 23-year-old Geneva resident, was charged with reckless driving following a two-vehicle accident at 3:40 p.m. Wednesday which involved a school bus. The mishap occurred on the Ceylon road, at the edge of Ceylon, as Chester L. Adams, 52, of route 2, Berne, was operating the school bus east on the road. He was stopped to discharge passengers, ■ when* the Geneva driver, operating a pick-up truck, turned onto the road and in traveling east, failed to stop in time and struck the rear of the bus. Damages were minor, being estimated at $75 to the pick-up and SSO to the bus. The sheriff’s department investigated.
Industry Division Meets Monday Noon The Decatur industrial division will hold its May luncheon meeting at noon Monday at the Youth and Community Center. David N. Griffiths, wi t h the Delco-Remy division of General Motors Corp., of Anderson, will be the featured speaker, talking on the subject “What is Your Choice?” Griffiths recently returned from a trip to Russia, sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. for youth industrialists, and will speak on his observations of what he saw in Russia and the potential danger of Communism to the United States. Gary Mayor Salary Highest In State INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana State Chamber of Commerce reported today in a survey of 74 cities ranging from first to fifth class that the highest mayor’s salary was $19,200 at Gary and the lowest $2,000 at Delphi and Union City. The Gary mayor receives $6,000 more per year than the mayor of Indianapolis, the state’s largest city. Lowest pay among 16 second-class cities was $8,400 at Marion. Highest mayor salary among the fifthclass cities was $6,700 at Hartford City. ? The chamber’s researchers reported that the work week of the Hoosier municipal policeman has been reduced from an average of 47.4 hours in 1954 to 43.16 hours in 1964, and the average fireman’s from 71 to 61.5 hours. The average annual salary of the police patrolman in the sec-ond-class cities was $5,385.

Charge Geneva Youth With Contributing A 20-year-old Geneva resident has been cited into the Adams circuit court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. George Auker, of route 2, Geneva, was arrested by Geneva town marshal Preston Pyle around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday. With Auker at the time of hip arrest was a 16-year-old former resident of Bradford, Ark., now residing in Geneva. The 16-year-old girl was cited into juvenile court here, while Auker will appear in circuit court.
