$558 Million Pay Raise Signed By Johnson For All Civilian Employes

WASHINGTON (UPD—President Johnson signed in law today a $558 millicm pay raise for federal civilian employes, describing the measure as ranking "near the top of the list in importance to the entire country.” He said the average 5.5. per cent pay boosts will "reward and retain excellence in our federal service” and constitute "one of the most profound advances in the last 30 years or longer.” * “This is more than just a pay bill,” Johnson declared before putting his name to the legislation in a ceremony attended by government officials and members of Congress in the White House -Rose Garden. Johnson said the bill "is, as the title says, a reform measure.” s The legislation will increase the salaries of House and Senate members by $7500 each starting next year and advances the pay immediately of every other civilian federal employe except the President himself. Congressional pay will go up to $30,000. Johnson said' the raises will help make pay scales in government “reasonably comparable with those of private life.” Expects High ProductivityAt the same time, he said taxpayers have a right to expect highprpductivity from government workers and “a full dollar’s value for every dollar spent.” This was the second. pay bill signed by the President this week. He placed his signature Wednesday on a measure hiking pay of military men by $207 million. Johnson said the new increase, when averaged out with years there were no pay boost, places the federal scales “within the range of the wage guidepost suggested for private industry” as being non-inflationary. The bill authorizes pay in-

Unmanned Satellite Launched By Russia

MOSCOW (UPD — The Soviet Union today launched another 'unmanned satellite in its exploratory Cosmos series amid speculation that it is planning a manned space spectacular with two and possibly three astronauts. The official Tass news' agency identified the latest satellite as Cosmos 37. It is part of the space exploration program announced on March 16, 1962, and carried on sporadically since. Tass said the latest satellite % was equipped with scientific instruments which were functioninf normally and transmitting data back to earth for analysis. Heavy Space Talk A private Italian radio laboratory in Turin reported that talk over radio frequencies used for Soviet space flights was becoming more intensive and more excited, indicating a new Russian space flight may be imminent. The owners of the Italian listening center speculated that the Russians might try to launch two space capsules and exchange pilots in flight. Hie Turin center and other listening posts around the world recently have been picking up increasingly heavy traffic in voice -and radio code signals on frequencies normally Used by the Russians in their space shots. Discounts Italian Theory However, the Bochum Institute for satellite and space research in Germany said today that it attaches “little significance” to the current conversations as reported by the Italian listening center.

creases for some 1-7 million white collar workers, postal employes, high ranking executives and members of the judicial and legislative branches of government. For almost everyone, the pay hikes will be retroactive to early July. For congressmen and congressional employes making more than $22,000 annually, the increases won’t take effect until January, 1965. Added As Sweetener This provision was added as a sweetener to a secondtry bill. Sensitive to the charge that they were voting themselves a raise, the legislators agreed to postpone the effective date of their raises until after the November election and th start of the new Congress. Since 1957, the pay scales for White collar workers has been increased an average 27 per c ep t pay increase. Postal employes have averaged a 29 per cent hike. In 1956, Congress boosted its own members’ salaries from $15,000 to $22,500. The judiciary also got raises that year. Originally proposed by the late President John F. Kennedy on April 29, 1963, the legislation received the wholehearted support of President Johnson. -Both considered it essential that pay of federal employes be raised if the government was to attract and retain superior individuals whose services were also being sought by private industry. Involved In Politics The proposal became immersed in election-year politics after the congressional raises—recommended along with other raises by a blue ribbon commission — were added to the bill. On March 12 of this year the House defeated by a vote of 184 to 222 a $643 million pay bill that included SIO,OOO-a-year hikes for senators and representatives.

speculated that as many as three or four Soviet cosmonauts are believed to be training for a rocket spectacular that coilld come within the next few days —possibly this weekend. Such a feat, which may break most existing space flight time and distance records, could give the Soviet Union an 18month Head over the United Sta‘es in the conquest of space. The last Cosmos satellite was orbited July 30. x The shot came amid speculation that Russia was planning a spectacular space shptj_ Moscow observers speculated that the forthcoming venture might involve two — or possibly three — astronauts. Some observers said they believed a woman might be involved if any such project was designed for more than one person. Tass gave the following technical data on Cosmos 37: Initial period — 89.45 minutes. Apogee—3oo kilometers (186.4 miles). Pvigee—2os kilometers (127 miles). Inclination—6s degrees. Tass said the satellite carries a radio transmitter operating on a frequency of 19.995 megacycles. Cosmos 37 also carried a radio system for precision measuring of orbital elements, a radio telemetric system for transmit‘ing to earth .data on the functioning of instruments and scientified apparatus. The instruments were functioning normally, Tass said, and information transmitted is being processed at a coordination-com-puting center.

On June 11, after the bill’s total figure had been trimmed down to $533 million and the,, congressional raises reduced to $7,500, the House passed it 243 to 157. . The Senate quickly gave its approval to a similar bill with a slightly higher total price tag. Negotiators from both chambers agreed on the final $556 million, the estimated annual cost of the bill. All told, the pay hikes range from 3 per cent to 30 per cent and would average about 5.5 per cent. INDIANA WEATHER Fair north, mostly cloudy with chance of a few light showers south tonight.

Krueckeberg, executive vice president of The First State Bank, Decatur, who represents the Indiana bankers association as Adams county agricultural key banker. During 1963, the state’s banks maintained their leadership in agricultural credit services. Based on the 23rd annual farm lending summary of the agricultural committee of the American bankers association, Krueckeberg reported that at the beginning of the year, Indiana banks were helping farmers with $256 million in loans, 8 per cent more than a year previous. This -total included $163 million in production loans and $93 million in farm mortagages. At the same time, $164 million in farm loans was held by life insurance companies; slll million by the Federal Land Banks ; $Bl million by production Credit Associations; and $9 million in nonreal estate loans plus sl9 million in real estate loans by the Farmers Home Administration. About 64 per cent of the production credit extended by lending institutions to Indiana farmers came from banks. Krueckeberg said that "bankers in Indiana are conscious of the large capital investments required in agriculture today and are making a concerted effort sh roti gh improved lending programs to meet these changing credit demands of the state's farmers.” The increased use of credit by farmers, according to Krueckeberg, has been accompanied by a substantial gain in the total assets of farm families. Therefore, in the aggregate, the equity position of farmers, contrary' to public opinion, is being maintained at a satisfactory level. Nationally, farm families have $193 billion of their own funds invested in agriculture. This represents 85 per cent of the total capital requirements of farmers. Kruekeberg stressed the importance of farmers and bankers working closely together to improve farm financial arrangements He reported that 91 per -cent of insured banks throughout the country had agricultural loans outstanding at the first of the year, with 98 per cent of the banks in Indiana extending credit to farm people.

’ NICOSIA, Cyprus (UPD—The United Nations has won a promise of no more fighting in_ the Kokkina area but said today it has not been able to gain control in the tense capital of Nicosia. Gen. T.S. Thimayya, the U.N. commander, reported these developments to a news conference following a tour of northwestern Cyprus and the Kokkina region which was the scene of battling last week. Thimayya said he had received “assurances from both sides” that there would be no firing at Kokkina, where Greek Cypriots ring a Turkish Cypriot village on the coast. But he added he was “not happy about the situation in Nicosia, where I have been unable to get control of the situation despite all my efforts.” A so-called “green line” neutral zone dividing the warripg Greek and Turkish Cypriots bisects Nicosia and is patrolled by U.N. forces to keep them - apart. Earlier, Greek Cypriots halted a patrol of Swedish U.N. troops || 1 1* Rev. Chas. Ueber . To Leave Decatur The Rev. Charles J.

at a roadblock in an incident that created friction on this tense island. United Nations sources said the U.N. troops encountered the roadblock east of Kokkina, scene of the fighting that earlier this week brought Greece and Turkey close to war. The sources said it was the first time the Greek Cypriots had infringed on freedom of movement of U.N. forces since a cease-fire brought a shaky peace to the island. The renewed Greek Cypriot interference with U.N. patrols was expected to bring strong reaction from the United Nation forces, and U.N. Cyprus Commander Gen. Kodendera Thimayya went by helicopter to Kokkina to negotiate a ceasefire line in the area. Thimayya toured Greek Cypriot positions Thursday with Gen. George Grivas, hero of the Cyprus guerrilla war ’ against the British who has taken control of the Greek Cypriot national guard. Greek Cypriot Interior Minister Polycarpos Georghadjis also attended the meeting. The elevation of Grivas to a , high military post raised new questions about the United Nations’ position on Cyprus since he is reported to regard the U.N. force as a nuisance.

Candidates To Make , State School Tour \ k o Dtafc Heller, legislative chairman kthe Adams county association TO mentaf health, announced today that both candidates for the general assembly from Adams county accepted the Invitation to attend the legislative tour at Fort Wayne state school. The are Burl Johnson, Democrat, of St. Mary’s township, and L. Luther Yager, Republican, of French township. Incumbent senator Von A. Eichhorn, a holdover senator, and dean of the senate, will also attend. Not only will they see the conditions at state school for the retarded but Joseph R. Brown, executive director of the Indiana association for mental health, will outline conditions in all state operated institutions and explain what the association hopes w’!l be accomplished by the general assembly during the 1965 session.

Heller said, “The public is now aware that mental illness can be cured, and the mentally retarded helped and they will be looking more and more to the general assembly to provide the necessary funds and facilities to do that part of the job which the government must do. Furthermore, we must require a high quality job of government if these human lives are to be saved.” He continued, “Indiana has started and some progress has been made, but it is too late to talk about stopgap programs of construction and treatment. Our state must catch up, and then adopt and maintain a program to provide the funds necessary to return Hoosiers to their communities as useful, productive people. It would be economically wasteful and needlessly cruel to do less.” Rotarians Told Os Fort Wayne Center Dr. D. Richard Smith, assistant director of the Fort Wayne, regional campus of Purdue University, told the Decatur Rotary club at the Decatur Youth and Community Center Thursday night that the new combined Indiana and Purdue building now being completed at the intersection of U.S. highway 30 By-pass and Indiana road 37 in Fort Wftyne will be a valuable addition to educational opportunities in this area. The four-wing, three - story building on a 200-acre site near the St. Joe river cost about 6% million, but was built without use of state funds. An Indiana - Purdue foundation was set up. in Fort Wayne through private and industrial contributions which was able to float a bond issue to be repaid from student fees over a fifty year period. A $6 per credit hour extra charge has been added for the past several years to add to this building fund. By cooperating and using a combined campus, sharing library student union and. laboratory facilities, the two state universities are able to effect considerable savings and still provide excellent modern facilities. Moving Day Tuesday Moving day has been set for next Tuesday and fall classes will use the new facility although formal opening will be held November 5. The speaker stressed that students able to commute to the new campus can save a sizable amount on their college expenses. If the state, legislature agrees, it may be possible later to grant degrees from the Fort Wayne campus. This plaq may be in effect for the 1965 freshmen enrolles. The new building includes student union facilities and a* 65,000 volume library often lacking at extension centers. It will also have specialized equipment in its laboratories, such as a computer center, modem language labs, sound studio and theater laboratory. An associate degree in nursing and several other technical fields Is being offered. Several practical courses without college credit, but providing post high school education were described. An enrollment of over 3,000 students is anticipated this fall. George Thomas introduced the speaker,’who has his master and doctorate degrees from Purdue. Dr. Smith had been a soloist with the well known Purdue varsity glee club during his undergraduate days and now directs a glee club on the Fort Wayne campus.

Senate Passes Fund Measure u-

WASHINGTON (UPD — The Senate today gave final congressional approval to an appropriations bill including funds to keep the United States on a high-pitched campaign to put a man on the moon by 1970. The Senate added its endorsement to a bill given final House approval Thursday. The measure contains funds to finance work of more than a score of government activities as well as the space agency. A significant departure from the past was inclusion of nearly $1.5 million for construction of fallout shelters in some new federal buildings. Until now. Congress had refused to provide funds for shelters in new federal office buildings. Today's bill, which now goes to the White House, provides money for shelters in 16 new building in 15 cities, from Massachusetts to Oregon. Other congressional news: Reapportionment: Senate lib-
