President Mrs. John Shirk Vice President Mrs. A. R. Holthouse -Secretary Ralph W. Sauer Treasurer *- ■ . ■■■ ■ -■ .... , ■ . Community Spirit Needed Thursday afternoon every able-bodied man who can work free is invited to help take part in setting up for the second annual Decatur horse show, the money from whieh will be used to beautify Decatur with Christmas lighting. Starting at noon, everyone is asked to gath* er at the horse show area of the Belmont park area on Monroe street extended. Ferris Bower will help direct the many, many things that will itave to be done, and done in a hurry, if all the work will be completed in one afternoon. tast year the men took two Thursdays to do the work, but that wasn’t possible this year, since the Chamber golf match last week killed any chance of getting a crowd of men together. This is a good time for each man to show his community spirit, and turn out for the betterment of the city. Necessary mowing, building an arena, placing picket and wire fences, putting up the ropes, placing a water tank, erecting latrines, all must be accomplished in the shortest time possible. Decatur merchant Tom Weis is contacting as many individuals as he can, trying to get help on the project. All the hard work will culminate Sunday noon, when the second annual horse show gets under way. Last year some 1,100 persons <ttend- •. • ed, and enjoyed the fine show. This year even more are expected.- Exceptional prize money will be given this year. Admission is just 50c, and it’s for a good purpose — children under 12 are free. If you’re a good one to give advice on what others should do to help Decatur, how about turning out to show what you can do, yourself, when you’re given a chance? - i We can all help make better Decatur an outstyidingly beautiful city this Christmas, with lighted streets that call attention to the civic spirit and deep pride of our people. h Or, we can forget about Thursday afternoon, sit at home and watch TV, or mess around, and let our city slip gradually into the oblivion it will so richly deserve if we don’t work to make it the finest city in Indiana —now and always!

NATO Endangered By Frank Scramble

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst LONDON (UPI) — European unity which was born out of fear of Communist military attack, swiftly is crumbling under the more subtle assault being waged by the Communists in the field of trade. •/ Combined with the nationalism which was loosed by French President Charles de Gaulle, the result is a threat both to NATO, cornerstone of European defense, and to the European Common Market, corner stone of hopes for European political unity. The NATO structure, already weakened by De Gaulle’s determination to develop his own nuclear deterrent and the withdraw! of most French forces under NATO command, now is further endangered by a frank scramble for rich contracts being dangled by the Soviet Union. In thiS Britain has led the way by signing with the Russians the .first of a series of contracts ultimately expected to total S3OO million. Largest Trade Deal The initial contract, to build an SB4 million polyester fiber plant, was the largest in the Sen. Humphrey In First Bid To Hoosiers INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Today is “Hubert Humphrey Day’’ in Indiana. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, Democratic nominee for vicepresident, is making his first Hoosier bid for votes with speeches in Evansville, Terre Haute and Fort Wayne. He is being warmly received by Indiana Democrats, who favored him after the delegates realized that Governor Welsh had no chance to win the sec-ond-spot nomination. Only Tuesday, Humphrey’s Republican rival, Rep. William E. Miller, spoke briefly in Fort Wayne where Humphrey will deliver a major address tonight.

Strangely, both men were headliners at the gridiron dinner of the Indianapolis Press Club last spring and were acclaimed as two of the wittiest speakers in the history of the annual affair. Target of GOP Conservative Indiana Republicans . have made a special target of the Minnesota senator, although he is a fellow midwesterner. They have pounded on his record as a pioneer member of Americans for Democratic Action which, they maintain, is one of the most left-wing groups in the nation. Humphrey piloted the civil rights bill through the Senate and, consequently, seems to be even more unpopular with the so-called “white backlash’” vote than President Johnson. Humphrey and Miller are men of moderate financial status, in contrast to the respective millionaire heads of their tickets, President Johnson and Sen. Barry M. Goldwater. This anti-civil rights vote already was wooed "by Miller during an extensive speaking tour through Lake County on Sept. 6 and 7, Goldwater will make another bid for this vote when he! speaks in Crown Point the night of Oct. 1. Ted Sendak, Lake County GOP chairman, has estimated that the Republican national ticket will capture half of the vote garnered by Alabama Sen. George C. Wallace, who carried Lake County in the Democratic presidential primary, s Other Goldwater Stops Crown Point will be the terminus of Goldwater’s whistlestop tour of Indiana during which he wjll speak from the train in Jeffersonville, Seymour, Columbus, Indianapolis, Frankfort and Logansport. On the same day, Texas Sen. John Tower will address a SIOO---plate Republican fund-raising dinner in Indianapolis. Thus, Indiana has become an important battlefield for the national nominees. Observers have said that Goldwater will score far less than half of the. 220,000 lead that Richard M. Nixon rolled up over President Kennedy in 1980, while numerous Democrats believe sincerely that President Johnson will carry the state. The last time the Democratic national ticket prevailed in this state was in 1996 when Franklin D. Roosevelt was challenged by Alfred Landon.

history of British-Soviet trade relations. Credit terms are for 15 years. It brought Britain into sharp disagreement with the United States and West Germany, both of which held that it violated an agreement among NATO nations to limit credits to Commuhists countries to no more than five years. Both nations held that the British deal threatened NATO unity and in effect amounted to foreign aid to the Soviets. France, with hopes of its own for a vast increase in trade with Russia, indicated it soon would be following in Britain’s footsteps. The conflict of interests evidenced in NATO also are pearing within the Common Market. Lack Uniform Price The six-nation Common Market comprising France, West Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg has been unable to agree on a uniform price for grains which in turn influence the prices of milk, cheese, butter, eggs, meat, bread and other food staples. The Common Market structure further is torn by the differing views of General de Gaulle on the one hand and Germany on the other as to the market’s political future. Germany has refused to become a junior member of a community built around a Par-is-Bonn axis and has promised to come up with a plan of her own. Whatever the plan is to be, it probably will not be the total political unity which was the goal of the original planners.

Abstract Art On U. S. Postage Stamp BY DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI)I feel sure that Postmaster General John A. Gronouski was motivated by high ideals and good intentions when he approved the issuance of an abstract postage stamp. But I'm afraid he is letting the Post Office Department, as well as us letter writers, in for a lot of confusion. My concern stems from a press release in which the department announced that a new commemorative five-cent stamp had been chosen as a salute to the fine arts. It features a reproduction of a painting by the late Stuart Davis, one of this country’s foremost modernists. And it marks the first time that abstract art has appeared on a U.S. postage stamp. Okay so far. What gave me pause was the way the department described the stamp as “a melange of red, blue and black squiggles.” There, I fear, is where the confusion is going to arise. ■ Squiggles Too Every time that I address a letter I decorate the envelope with a melange of red, blue or black squiggles, depending on what color of ink I have in my . pen.

This is not abstract art, however. It is my normal handwriting. No matter how hard I strive for legibility, my penmanship turns out squiggly. It wouldn't be so bad if I were the only squiggler using the mail service. But judging from the letters I receive, the bulk of the rest of the population also writes in squiggles. Through long experience, postal employes have become exceedingly adept at reading squiggles. Consequently, most of the mail eventually gets delivered. But what will happen when the new abstract stamp starts turning up on envelopes? Something like this. I’ll warrant: A postal clerk will pick up a letter that has been addressed to somebody in Philadelphia. In haste, he will read the wrong set of squiggles.

Backlash Shapes Up As Election Factor

By LYLE WILSON United Press Internstienal The civil rights backlash in half a dozen or more big cities is beginning to shape up as an election factor so important that it could confound the pollsters and elect Barry M. Goldwater as president of the United States. That is not to say that the backlash in big cities will elect Goldwater. But only a man of small caution would insist that it could not happen or, as do the pollsters, hang their reputations on suggestions that Lyndon B. Johnson may be headed toward a landslide triumph. The backlash mechanisms flourish in the great cities. Mul-ti-thousands of angry, frustrated New York City parents resorted to civil disobedience (school strikes) in protest against the pace and methods employed to correct racial imbalance in the schools. There is a rising tide of op-

position in most great urban areas to so-called open housing statutes. There is in those urban) areas a rising tide of fear blue collar workers that the new civil rights law somehow will cost them their jobs, their union seniority and impose great economic penalties.. Sign Housing Petitions Tens of thousands of voters in New York, California, Illinois. Maryland and elsewhere have signed petitions to pub open housing and other' civil rights issues to a vote on election day. These tens of thousands of signatures are proof of considerable opposition to the pace and the direction of federal and local efforts to help Negro citizens out of the hopeless discontent that engulfs them. The Republican National Committee published last spring, statistics showing the vital importance of the big city vote in the 1960 election. The

PAGE THREE-A

committee said the 1960 election was lost in the relatively few big cities, most of which were carried by John F. Kennedy. The pattern was similar nationwide. Republican Richard M. Nixon rolled up fat majorities in small town and rural areas only to lose whole states on the basis of a big city vote. For example: Nixon won Illinois outside Chicago by 447,000 votes. But Kennedy’s Cook County (Chicago) Democratic margin was 566,000 and he took the state's 27 electoral votes. Strength In Cities It is in the big cities that the Democrats have found their greatest political power since FDR. Now, it is in those same great urban areas that the potential of the Goldwater backlash vote is the greatest. In any but a landslide election, five big cities can determine the electoral vote winner in New York, California, 111nois. New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These five states have 156 electoral votes, all substantially determined by the big city voters. . , The so-called backlash <s one of the election year inysteries as is the frontlash with which LB J expects to defeat Goldwater.
