Federal Attorney Warns Against Prevention Os Voters To Cast Ballots

Physics, Chemistry Prizes Are Awarded

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UPI) —The 1964 Nobel Prize for physics was awarded jointly today to Prof. Charles Townes of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and to two Russian scientists. The Russians are* Nikolai Basov and Prof. Aleksander Prokhorov. The winners were chosen by a vote of the Swedish Academy of Science. Townes will receive half the $52,500 prize money. The two Russians will share the other half. The Nobel prize for chemistry went to Mrs. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, a research professor of the British Royal Society and an Oxford Fellow. Mrs. Hodgkin won for her determination through X - ray techniques of the structures of important biochemical substances. Townes, 49, is provost of MIT. He is the inventor of the “Maser,” a set of initials s|and- ( ing for “Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of, Radiation.” Townes conceived the idea in 1951. A similar idea occurred to; the two Russian physicists; shortly afterward. Other scientists have credited’

Hospital Granted Request For Fund The Adams county memorial... hospital has been granted its request' for a $23,925 additional appropriation which was made in September originally, but turned down by a mistake on the part of the state board of tax commissioners. The hospital had asked for additional funds amounting to $23,925 for administrative and general expense, dietary expense, household and property expense, and profes-* sional care of patients. The additional appropriation was asked due to the largest number of patients in the history of the hospital, which was required more profesisonal care, etc. The request, along with those from other county departments, was turned over to the county counsel when it met cm September 8 and 9. The council approved the request in its entirety, and it was sent along with the other approved appropriation requests to the state tax commissioners. Turned Down A short time later, however, the (Continued on Page Six) Exploration Film Shown Optimists Members of the Decatur Optimist club closed out their weekly meeting this morning by viewing a film on exploration of the ocean floor. The film was presented by Optimist member Dr. Robert Irwin. The film showed how the ocrean floor was formed and gave details of current research work being done to uncover its secrets. The film explained that much can ’ be learned by drilling the ocean floor because the crust of the earth is only two to two and a half miles thick on the ocean . bottom, as compared to 30 miles qn land. An ocean drilling operation was shown in the .film. The pipe used for driving the special' drill head is constructed of steel capable of withstanding tremendous strain < and vibration. , * •' < Base of operations for the drill- : ing unit was a special diesel- ; powered barge.

the Maser with revolutionizing radio and physics more than any development since the discovery of microwaves. The Maser’s optical cousin is the Laser (Light Amplification bv Stimulated Emission of Radiation), a beam of light that does not spread out, a beam of light without distortion. A Laser beam could for examole carry all of the radio and television p r ograms in the world plus several hundred thousand telephone calls simultaneously. It is used extensively for range-finding and missiletracking. Masers and Lasers have been called the most significant electronic development since the transistor, with a potential ' eoual in impact to that of nuclear fission. The prize was awarded to Townes. Basov and Prokhorov for their “fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics, i which has led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the Maser-Laser • principle.” Z Prokhorov, 48, is the director 3of Soviet physical-mathematical 5 science.

Costume Judges Os Parade Are Named John Rawlison, chairman of the costume division of the Callithumpian parade, today announced the costume and masked character judges for this year’s parade. The 1964 edition of the parade will form Saturday night at 7:30 at the Monroe street city parking lot near the A&P store, rather than at the city jail, as has been the custom in previous years. Rawlinson said that the costume judges were provided by three local sororities. The judges are Mns. Roger L. Stevens of Xi lota Xi, Mrs. James A. Cowens of Tri Kappa, and Mrs'. Lyle Mallonee of Delta Theta Tau. William Bowers, parade marshal, today outlined detailed duties of members of the parade committee. Walter (Joe) Elzey will have charge of the bands at the city parking lot on East Monroe street; Lyle Mallonee will have charge of all maskem and floats at the parking lot; William Schnepf will be stationed at Jackson and Second streets to take care of commercial vehicles taking part in the parade, these vehicles to be headed south, and Clyde Butler will also be stationed at Jackson and Second to start and space the parade entries. Grover Odle, Decatur police chief, will have officers stationed at all critical points in the line of march. The parade is scheduled to start promptly at 8 p.m., and all maskers, floats and bands are asked to be at the parking lot at 7:30 p.m. Bowers urged more individuals and groups, all masked, to enter the line of march and help increase the size of the parade and make it more interesting for viewers. done off the west coast of Mexico. IL was the first such drilling operation to remove a solid core of rock from the bottom of the ocean. Specimens brought up by the expedition were studied and tested. Fossils found in the specimens were more than 20 million year old. Final evaluation of Samples returned by the aexpedition has not yet been completed.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—U.S. District Attorney Richard Stein today put the weight of the federal government behind an Indiana State Election Board ruling which would allow voters in line at the polls Nov. 3 to vote after the 6 p.m. legal closing time. While Stein said flatly that he was not attempting to interpret the 2-1 ruling of the state board, headed by Democratic Governor Welsh, he said his office would investigate any complaints by citizens who were prevented from voting unded 'such circumstances. He said if his office and the FBI learned that the line of voters at closing time was the result of “deliberate slowdown” this would be regarded as a federal offense subject to a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison upon conviction. Stein made it clear that failure to observe another election rule limping voters to one minute in the election booth could be interpreted as “deliberate slowdown.” TTiat rule is not strictly enforced. Adopted Resolution Welsh and the other Democratic member of the Indiana Sta e Election Board adopted a resolution over the objections of the lone Republican member, Edtvin M. S Steers, which said that persons standing in the 50foot chute leading to the voting booth could vote after 6 p.m. Marion County Clark Edwin McClure, a Republican, announced that he would order all polls in his county to cease voting at 6 p.m. in line with the Steers interpretation of the law. Steers said he thought some othed county clerks might take the same position. However, Stein said that he had not heard of any clerks within his 62-county jurisdiction except McClure who planned to follow the Steers’ interpretation. Stein said the Justice Department had instructed all district attorneys “to call attention to the fact there could be federal law violation” in the handling Os local elections since the offices of president, vice president and members of Congress are at stake. Stein said “the federal government has the right and the duty to see that the elections are conducted honestly and fairly and that all of those who are eligible to vote have an opportunity to do so and to have their votes counted.” Cites Federal Law He cited a federal law making conspiracy to “injure, oppress,* sthreaten, or intimidate any citizen” from voting which carries maximum penalties of 10 years imprisonment and SIO,OOO fine. “Some of the violations which this section covers include failure to count ballots lawfully cast, stuffing of ballot boxes, stealing ballots, rigging or deliberately jamming election machines . . and the actual preventing of persons from voting who are legally qualified to vote 'under the state regulations.” Stein said his fellow Democrat, Welsh, “called my attention” to the controversy over allowing voters in line at the polls at 6 p.m. to cast ballots. He said the offices of the district attorneys will remain open election day to receive complaints of violations ' and that a special advisory staff will be on duty in the Justice Department in Washington for consultation. - Stein said the procedure for investigating a complaint was such that no action could be completed in time for the disputed vote to be counted. * “If a deliberate slowdown develops, it will develop in the last hour. An investigation could be conducted afterwards — and 10 years is a long time,” he said. . ' Ik-j- " - During the business session of the meeting. Optimist president Dean Boltz said that season ticket prices for the Optimist travelogue setries have been dropped to $4.25 for adults and $2.50 for students.

Senator Hartke To Speak Here Saturday Sen. Vance Hartke Sen. R. Vance Hartke, senior senhtor from Indiana, will be the featured speaker, at 6:15 p.m., at the Democratic barbecue and “white donkey” sale, from 5 until 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Decatur Democratic headquarters, on Madison street, across from the court house. The dynamic senator will drive down from Fort Wayne especially for the occasion, recalling the more than 800 who turned out four years ago to hear him speak in favor of the Dembcratic ticket. sf ■ Dr. Harry H. Hebble, Democratic county chairman, confirmed that Sen. Hartke would be able to be present briefly Saturday following a telephone call this morning. Sen. Hartke, a Lutheran, was born in a small Southern Indiana town, Stendal, Pike county. A basketball player in his small rural school, he rose to be mayor of Evansville and senior senator of the state of Indiana when only 45 years old. “A close friend ‘of President Lyndon B. Johnson, Sen. Hartke can be counted on to represent Indiana’s needs and desires better than any other candidate,” Dr. Hebble asserted. “He is a recognized leader in the U.S. senate, where seniority counts along with brains and hard work.” TWO SECTIONS * Plan Commissions In Monroe, Geneva Gerwin Rohrback, president of General Planners, Incorporated, Wednesday recommended to the Adams county planning commission that the towns of Monroe and Geneva institute municipal planning commissions to coordinate their development with the future county master plan. Geneva town board member Thurman Baker and Dick Sullivan, attorney for Geneva, were present at the meeting to hear Rohrback’s recommendation. Baker told the group that he would carry the recommendation back to the officials of Geneva. He was optimistic about the possibility of forming a Geneva planning commission. No official representatives from Monroe were present, but Homer Winteregg, Monroe, a member of the county plan group, said that he thought Monroe officials would be receptive to the plan. If either or both of the two towns did form a planning commission It would probably entail retaiping a professional planner. If the town commissions are formed it is likely that the communities will hire Rohrbach's firm to handle their plan and coordinate it with the coming county master plan. Roland Mross, of the Indiana University municipal planning department, was also present at the meeting. The university planning department is currently screen applicants for the post of permanent planner in Adams county. Mross told the county commission that only two inquiries have been received to date. He said that he expects several more applications within the next month. Rohrbach told the group that, by their next meeting in November, he would have a draft of the final county study to submit to them. Data in this final study will be used in preparing the county master plan. Rohrbach requested that chairman of each planning commission subcommittee be present at the November meeting.

Soviet Russia Pledged For Peace Quest

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (UPl)—President Johnson said today that Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin has sent him a message assuring that the new Russian regime will work with the West in a continuing quest for peace. “This is a heartening response,” Johnson declared. “We ■ must not underestimate the 1 the danger of communism—but neither . should we underestimate the danger to all the ' world if nuclear power is un- ( leashed and if we do not move 1 toward peace.” i The President told of Kosy- * gin’s message, received Monday night, in a speech prepared 1 for a campaign meeting at the MfSrmon Church Tabernacle. t Republican presidential candi- , date Barry M. Goldwater spoke t there three weeks ago, blaming the Johnson administration for , increasing immorality and accusing the Democdats of dictating a Democratic platform with “utter disregard for God.” I Moral Responsibility Johnson, too, placed emphasis on “moral responsibility”— but in a context of carrying out national duties to better the lot of people in this country and abroad. The Tabernacle speech followed a breakfast at the Hotel Utah with convalescing, 91-year old David O. McKay, president of the two million member church of Jesus Christ of Lat-ter-day Saints. From Salt Lake City, Johnson’s campaigning takes him to Wichita, Kan., for an airport rally, and then to Philadelphia for a speech tonight at the city’s huge Convention Hall. In his Tabernacle text, Johnson said the world is “entering into a new era in the affairs of man” and it has two choices. “We can,” he said, “in the , words of one of your old hymns —commit our efforts to moving

30 Bolivian Miners Killed By Troops

LA PAZ , Bolivia <UPI) —3 Army troops fired on a groups of miners early today in Sora, the national radio at Hu- — anuni announced. First reports said 30 minersjwere killed and many injured £ by the machine gun fire. £ Sora Sora is about 12 miles« from the tin-mining center of ,2 Oruro, 120 mUes southeast of£ La Paz.

‘on to eternal perfections.’ Or we can — in folly and foolhardiness — allow the world to move recklessly toward eternal damnation.” Change Direction Johnson said America’s “urgent and ever present task is to change civilization’s careening course — change it away from the ultiate folly—change it toward the ultimate fruitfulness of a world that knows no war.” ' Talking, then, of the toppling of Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, Johnson said: > “Inside Russia today, a powerful force for change is at work —. education, the bedrock of democracy, the enemy of dictatorship. “Inside the Communist bloc, powerful currents are surging against the dam. “We cannot sit idley by— we must work to guide the inevitable changes that lie ahead. . . “When the Soviet government changed governments last week, I sent word to Moscow that our basic policy remained unchanged. Receives Answer “This week I have received an answer from Mr. Kosygin—the new head of the Soviet government.. “In his response, he said the Soviet Union would maintain its present policies and seek better relations — and maintain its own search for peace — with the West. * “He said that the Soviet Union would continue its communication with the United States —and would continue to explore areas of mutural interest.” Johnson flew here Wednesday night from San Diego, where he wrapped up a day of campaigning in Southern California. He got roaring Democratic wel- . comes in Los Angeles, Riverside. San Bernardino and San Diego.
