Controversy On Announcement Os Raid On Bases WASHINGTON (UPI > — The Pentagon and an admiral on the scene were in apparent disagreement today as to whether Communist radar detected last week's air strike against North Viet Nam PT boat bases before President Johnson announced the action. The officer. Rear Adm. Robert B. Moore, commander of 'lhe task force which led the US. raids, said he did not believe the Reds detected the attacks before Johnson spoke. The Pentagon stood on a previous statement that they did. Both agreed, however, that the presidential announcement did not endanger the success of the raids. The seeming discrepancy led Republican Rep. Ed Foreman of Texas to renew his complaint that Johnson announced The raids prematurely. Foreman said it indicated to him that “the Pentagon came up with an excuse for the President when he got himself in a bind.” The controversy centered ~bn~ the fact that Johnson told the nation in a broadcast last Tuesday night that North Vietnamese torpedo lx>at attacks on U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin had forced him to order.. an attack on their bases. The President, who stxike at 11:3S p. tn., EDT.. added: “Air action is now tn execution against gun boats and certain supporting ‘ facilities of North Viet, Nam which have been used in these hostile operations." * * A summary of the. raids made public later by the Defense De- .■* men t showed that the U.S. -. planes did not reach their tar- - gets until 1:15 am.

Lafayette Airman Killed In Germany LAFAYETTE, Ind (UPI) — Airman 2-C Michael Lane, 26, Lafayette, was killed in an auto acident Saturday near Herforst, Germany, relatives here have learned. Lane joined the Air Force about three years ago after attending Ball State Teachers College at Muncie. His mother, Mrs. Marya Kelley, lives here. and a half after Johnson sjxike. Foreman subsequently told Jic House that Johnson's anouncement might have endangered the success of the rfids and amounted to “triggerhappy irresponsibility.” , The congressman’s remarks were followed by a statement by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara who said the U.S. planes had been in the air for about an hour when Johnson spoke. He said the Communists by then had "received indications of the attack” through radar. McNamara also said the Communists did not have time to move their PT boats to safety and it was desirable for the Reds to understand that the attack was "limited and fitting.” meaning that it was not aimed at Red China. Adm. Moore told re|x>rters Monday that he did not believe the U.S. planes had been detected by North Viet radar at the time Johnson went on the air. He said he did not believe Red radar picked up the planes until they were almost on target lie also said, however, that he didn't think the President's statement gave the Communists any useful warning. He said the U.S. air strike would have been successful even if the North Vietnamese had had three days 'Warning. A Defense Department 9|>okesman declined comment on the admiral's statement, assorting that *"we’ll stick with what McNamara said " Rep, Foreman said he was not satisfied. "In events of war. you just don't tell the enemy when and where you are going to attack ahead of time," lie told UPI. "This is the height of military irresixnisibihly any way you look at It.",

CCC GRAIN BINS FOR SALE AT SPEICHER VILLE: Thirty-nine surplus CCC grain bins are being offered for sale by auction at Speicherville, Indiana. Twenty are dismantled and nineteen will be sold erected. The sale will begin at 10 a.m. on Tuesday', August 18, 1964 and will be held at the U. S. Government grain storage site at Speicherville loca'ed on Indiana State Road No. 15 in Wabash County., The structures have a 2,151 bushel capacity rating, are made of steel and have walk-in doors which should adapt them well for farm use. Anyone desiring to inspect the blns offered should contact the Wabash ASCS County Office, 67 South Wabash Street. Wabash, Indiana (telephone 563-5617), week days between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The purchaser must sign a certificate that the bins will be used for handling or storage of agricultural commodities. Any would-be purchaser, who is interested in financing the purchase under the Farm Storage Facility Loan Program, should determine his eligibility in his own county ASCS office before attending the sale. If he is eligible for a loan, only a percent of the purchase price Is required on the day of sale. Otherwise, the full purchase price muut be paid by certified check, postal or bank money order or m«h Personal checks will not be accepted. Bins must be removed from'the site within 30 days from the date of sale during the county office regular working hours. 1964 WHEAT DIVERSION PROGRAM PAYMENTS SOON TO BE MADE Adams County wheat growers who carried out their intentions an indicated on their applications, signed this spring, under the 1964 Wheat Diversion program have or soon will have recevied their notices to come to the county office to sign their application for payment. As soon as the applications are ttigned, sight drafts will be issued by the county office. The mailing should be within twenty-four hours after ten applications is signed — unless more than one signature is needed on the application. All signatures for a farm must be secured before a payment is made to any producer. We urge all, who receive cards to come in as soon as possible so their payments will not be delayed. Also, they are asked to bring the card with them. No advance payments were made for the wheat program — so the entire payment — diversion and certificate — will be made at one time. Diversion v payments average about $9.00 per acre and certificate payments are 47 cents perbushel times ninety per cent of the established yield for the farm. 1961 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM PAYMENTS SOON TO BE MADE Farmers who carried out their intentions under the 1964 Feed Grain Program will receive payments as Noon as county offices receive authorization from the S'ate Committee. We hope to have the majority of the payments made by September 1. 1964 PROGRAM .. „ REQUIREMENTS STILL IN EFFECT Farmers are refninded that even they receive the final paymenjs under either the Wheat Diversion or Feed Grain programs., the provisions of the 1964 programs extend through the entire 1964 calendar year.

Land diverted from production under these programs agreed to protest it throughout the entire year. They also agreed not to harvest a crop from it. This means that no grain may be harvested, no seed may be harvested, and if oats or wheat is clipped, the straw cannot be removed. However, the diverted acreage may be pastured after November 1, 1964, The harvesting of a crop or pasturing diverted acreage is a violation of the agreement and would result in the loss of the entire payment. ACP REACHES TWO MILLION FARMS EACH YEAR \Over two million farms throughout the United States are participating in the Agricultural Conservation Program each year. Twenty-three per cent of the farms receiving ACP practices assistance in 1963 were "new” farms which had not received cost-shar-ing during any of the previous three years. Many farmers are able to add to their income through better use and management of their soil, water, and woodland, and to form’ conservation habits’ — all brought about by the ACP program on cost-sharing between the government and the farmer. Such benefits are not limited to the farmer —- farmers, urban people and the general public gain from good land-treatment measures. which greatly reduce major sediment damage downstream by restricting runoff and erosion from the Nation’s farmland; HAVE YOU RECEIVED COSTRHARE ASSIBTANTCE DURING THE PAST THREE YEARS? We are sure that many of you readers have conservation problems and the county committee would like to help you solve them. Any farmer, who has not received a substantial cost-share payment during the past ’three yeans, is urged-to call at the county office and file a request — the county committee cannot help unless the request is filed. A reminder — file the request BEFORE the practice is started. This is important to remember. If you think you need limestone — take a soil sample, send it to Purdue for a test and when it is returned, bring the report to the county Wfftce and file the request BEFORE Uh e limestone is applied. SECRETARY FREEMAN SPEAKS OF RURAL AMERICA The future of rural America — a promise that is well within our grasp because for the first time in the history of mankind our , society is now capable of producing enough for all. * The outpouring of our farms and factories has created an order of plenty, a new world of potential abundance in America. Since early 1961, this Nation has achieved a new pinnacle of affluence — Industrial pro duction has increased by a fourth — income per farm is up 16 per cent — Unemployment has fallen to its lowest point in seven yeans, and employment is now at a record high of over 71.7 million jobs. RAD ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS MORE AID TO LOW-INCOME FARMERS The National Advisory Committee on Rural Areas Development at a recent meeting in Washington recommended the Federal government to extend more help to the family-type and low-income farmers. The Committee also endorsed the Economic Opportunity Act i acti-Poverty legislation) urged the continuance of the Area Redevelopment Administration and the Accelerated Public Works programs.

The Committee urged USDA and o'her Federal and State agencies to provide greater assistance to the commercially adequate fam-ily-type low-income, and subsistence farmer groups. An important objective of RAD is to “preserve and strengthen" family farms, which compete for markets with industrialized farms. It was recommended that Federal agencies expand for low-in-come full and papt-time farmers: job training for off-farm employment; provide more and better complete education for the children; assistance in developing other land uses and grants and loans of sufficient size to enable the farmer to earn a satisfactory income. CCC LOAN PROGRAM WORKING AS IT WAS INTENDED TO WORK This year, the CCC loan program is working as it was intended to work — making it possible through its price-protection the orderly disposal of the bulk of the com crop through regular outlets. Farmers have put a much lower volume of 1963 corn under loan than in previous years. Only about 395 million bushels has placed under price support as compared with about 591 million bushels of the 1962 crop. Loan repayments have been made on about 86 million bushels, which is a much higher repayment ' proportion than in recent years. Loan repayments were possible because market prices remained above the loan rate much of the year. This was due to a widespread participation in > the feed grain acreage diversion program and to a policy of limiting Government corn sales substantially to disposal of nonstorable supplies, special export programs and disaster relief requirements. PRICE SUPPORT LIMITED TO FEED GRAIN PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS Price support on the 1963 corn crop was limited to Feed Grain Program participants and for the first time consisted of two parts—thg local equivalent of a national average loan rate of $1.07 per bushel on the actual production of the producer’s reduced acreage plus a uniform supplemental support payment rate of 18 cents per bushel of the farm’s normal yield for the reduced acreage. 1964 PRICE SUPPORT SLSO LIMITED TO FEED RAIN PARTICIPANTS Price support on the 1964 crop also will be limited to program participants and made available in two parts — the local equivalent of a national average loan rate of sl.lO per bushel and a uniform payment of 15 cents per bushel. new Procedure for price StIPPORT IN 1964 Under the new procedure, effective for all 1964 crops, one application for price support for each commodity will be filed. The producer may draw loan funds against a part, all or none of the eligible commodity. The balance of the corn will remain eligible for possible eventual sale to the Commodity Credit Corporation at the local loan rate. This replaces the former purchase agreement. A flat fee of $3.00 is required for each commodity application, regardless of the number of bushels -in the bin. A service charge of onehalf cent per bushel will be charged at delivery time for only the number of bushels delivered. NO SAMPLES OF COMMODITIES TO BE TAKEN FOR 1964 PRICE SUPPORT LOANS This year, for the first time, samples will not be taken of any commodity loans. There will be visual inspections only — the only time a sample could be taken, would be when the Commodity Inspector and the farmer did not • agree on the condition of the corn and we do not anticipate any disagreements. Community committeemen in each township will serve as Commodity Inspectors for 1964. Applications for price support will be made at county ASCS offices, and a loan should be completed within twenty-four hours after the application is filed. THE SAFETY CORNER TAKING A VACATION ? • ?

Soft red winter wheat varieties recommended for fall planting in Indiana are Monon, Knox 62, Redcoat and Reed. Late summer between August 15 and September 15 is the best time to start your new lawn. During this period grass seed germinates well, fall rains help the new seedlings and cooler weather, as the season progresses, entourages strong turf growth. First, you should think about grading. For best effects and to make a small lot look larger have a gentle slope away from your house toward the side and front of your lot. Try to make a smooth transition between your lawn and the adjacent lot. If you buy top soil, it should be spread at least four inches deep. Mixing in peat moss can help, but at least three bales per 100 square feet are needed. Work in 20 pounds of 10-6-4 fertilizer or its equivalent per 1000 square feet. The turf specialists emphasize the importance of good grass seed. They recommend bluegrass for sunny areas. Seed mixtures of different bluegrass types such,as Merion, Delta, Newport and Kentucky. In Shady areas add Red Fescue to the mixture. Any grass mixture should conContempt Os Court Under Advisement BROWNSTOWN, Ind. (UPI) — The arguments for and against this dismissal of contempt of court action against two Indiana officials have been taken under advisement. Jackson Circuit Court Judge John M. Lewis heard the arguments in his court Monday and took the case under advisement, indicating no decision would be reached for , “some time.” The contempt of court suit was brought against Commissioner Arthur Campbell of the Department of Corrections and Warden Ward Lane of the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City, in connection" with the release of convicted slayer George L. Rariden, 75, Bedford. “Rariden was released from prison after serving five years of a life term for the slaying of Bert Butler, a quarry foreman. Deputy Atty. Gen. Robert W. McNevin said the suit should be dismissed because the information in the original abtion was not sufficient in law; the court cannot rule on the status of the executive order which released Rariden, and the case interferes with the system of separation of powers. McNevin’s arguments were countered by Lawrence county Prosecutor Robert N. Skinner. Skinner said the information was sufficient at the time of the suit the court did not know Rariden had been released by executive ordei; the court is not being asked to rule on the status of the executive order but to construe that order, and there is no interference in the separation of powers because the judicial branch has the power to construe rulings of the executive and legislative branches of government. Charged In Warrant Filed Monday Night Frederick Gant, 57, of 1051 S. Line street, Decatur, was arrested by city police Monday at 10 p.m. on a warrant signed by his wife. He was released after posting SSO bond and is scheduled to appear in city court Monday. ...-' ■rs ■ break the spell: 1.

Then water lightly daily, keeping lawn surface moist for at least three weeks for good seed germination. Soil Tart Get a soil test before preparing the seed bed for this fall.

| Purple Pennings By Patsy Lee Leaders County . Extension Agent Home Economics August 12, C. E. Hoxsie will be the 4-H dining hall in Monroe for the all day flower arranging workshop. This is open to the public. All people who attend are ask to bring their own flowers and equipment. The hours will be from 10 a.m. to 12 noon with a break for lunch from 12 to 1 p.m. and then the afternoon session from 1 to 3 p.m. SHEER WOOLS SPAN SEASONS: Wool, a fiber once sought for its warmth in cold weather, can now be the answer to year-round wardrobe problems. To meet the changing needs of consumers, sheer wools have been introduced In apparel items, says Mrs. Bonnita Farmer, clothing specialist at Purdue University. Sheer wools have been processed to reduce the weight and body of the yarn, while retaining its resilience or springiness. The lightweight yarns are woven loosely in an open weave. These all-season woolens help people adapt to sudden changes in temperature created by living and working in cool, air-condition-ed and then going out into warm, humid weather. They also are helpful to the air traveler who may find herself in completely different climates within a few hours. Not only do sheer wools bridge the gap between seasons but they also provide for the unexpected changes within a season, Mrs. Farmer points out . Sheer wool fabrics include wool georgette, vonile, 'featherweight tweeds, lightweight crepes, sheer meshes, and challis —a very lightweight wool usually printed with a delicate floral pattern. Wool may also be blended with members of the nylon, polyester and acrylic fiber groups. These fibers make the wool lighter and add strength, yet the combination retains the pleasing feel of wool CLEAN PORCH AND PATIO FLOORS: While no one expects a porch or patio to be as clean as a dining room, it does need some regular housekeeping, especially if used often for eating or entertaining. Elkin Minter, home management specialist at Purdue University, offers these simple methods to keep your porch or patio inviting. No matter what kind of floor you have, sweep it regularly with a broom. Wipe up all spills and stains as soon as they occur — particularly food and grease, which may stain, attract insects or cause accidents. Schedule a real washing once a week, with thick soap or detergent suds applied with a mop, brush or broom. Then rinse, with a hose if possible. Brick, cement or concrete, and flagstone floors can be scrubbed with a long handled brush or broom. Since brick and cement are porous, wipe up or hose off spills immediately. Before scrubbing, wet down brick or cement floors to prevent dirty water from soaking in. Scrub with suds and hose again to rince. If your porch has a tile, ceramic or unglazed floor, wash with a soft string or sponge mop and suds, then rinse. Miss Minter points out that smooth surfaced cement floors of. a porch, patio or basement recreation room benefit from a little wax. After mopping, spread a thin layer of wax on the crubber brushes of an electric waxer. Apply a thin even coat over the floor. Let dry'and polish with a buffer.
