Reds Flexible In Relations

MOSCOW (UPI) — The Communist party organ Pravda said today that Russia is ready to' be flexible in seeking to strengthen its relations with the United States. The position was stated as diplomatic sources said that Chinese Communist Premier Chou Enlai had concluded his secret talks with the new leaders of the Kremlin and would leave for home later today. Diplomats said they had been invited to Vnukovo Airport for Chou’s departure. Red China split with the Soviet Union over .the “peaceful coexistence” policy advocated by former Premier Nikita Khrushchev. Pravda said Russa is ready Local Lady's Father Dies Last Evening William A. Quick, 85, father of Mrs. John (Betty) Rosier of this city, died at 6 o’clock Thursday evening at his home in Greentown.

Ranch and one of the now famous barbecues. U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk said two days ago he believed the subject of MexicanCuban relations would come up before Diaz Ordaz returns to Mexico today. Mexico now is the only nation in Latin America that still maintains diplomatic relations with Cuba. Her position has been that the choice of government is a job for the people of the country and to cut off diplomatic relations is tantamount

to talk over its differences with other nations and is willing to & adopt a position of flexibility.” “We attach great importance to the development of business links and normal relations with the main capitalist states, including the United States where the recent elections strengthened the positions of the more moderate circles in the ruling camp,’’ Pravda said. There was no sign that China was ready to ease its militant anti-Western policy. Diplomatic observers said the Soviet foreign policy statement paralleled declarations made in the past month by the new rulers of , the Kremlin following the ouster of Khrushchev. Observers .said the statement appeared to steer a middle course between preserving the status quo in relations with the West and adopting an uncompromising line toward national revolutionary movements, which Red China supports. Western obsrvers said it was notable that there was no hardening of policy toward the West despite Chou’s presence in Moscow. Western observers said it was notable that there was no hardening of policy toward the West despite Chou’s presence in Moscow. Although Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin and Communist party chief Leonid Brezhnev agreed to the Peking talks, diplomatic sources in Moscow said there was little chance of Russia and China solving all their differences immediately. However, the Russians have agreed to postpone a meeting of 26 Communist parties which Khrushchev had called for next month, apparently to lay the groundwork for reading Red China out of the world Communist movement. Communist China was bitterly opposed to the meeting. Russia’s Communist allies in Europe also had been dragging their feet on the plan. wnmerous foreign Communist officials had come to Moscow in connect’on with the 47th anniversary Nov. 7 of the Russian revolution. By this morning Chou was the only one still in Moscow. Diplomats said he and Brezhnev may have discussed a wide range of topics, including the resumption of Sino-Soviet trade.

to interfering in the other government’s internal affairs. Johnson and Diaz Ordaz Thursday searched for a common, neighborly approach to trade, the problem of water salinity in the Colorado River and the Alliance For Progress. But Johnson put the accent on the deprived people of both nations in remarks at a barbecue at the LBJ Ranch in Diaz Ordaz’ honor. “ ... We are meeting here to talk together and to work together, and to take up arms together against the ancient enemies of mankind — disease and poverty and hunger and ignorance.” “As Mexico becomes stronger and wealthier,” he said, “Mexico will be able to help others just as Mexico is helping others today in Central America. “For the Alliance is not just governments: It is the will and the desire and the noble ambition of people — people who give opportunity and incentive, and they can make this Western Hemisphere and, indeed, they can make the entire world, a better, a healthier, a more peaceful and a much safer place to live in.” Six Appointed To Take Farm Census Six agricultural enumerators for nine Adams county townships were named today for the 1964 census of agriculture, as questionaires were mailed to the farmers of Adams county, Gary Shaw and Mrs. Sally Despardins, crew leaders in charge of the census, announced today. Enumenators named were: Mrs. Cleo Arnold, Preble and Kirkland townships; Mrs. Marcia Smith, Washington township; Mrs. Don Moser, French and Hartford townships; Mrs. Claude Dennison, Monroe township; William Rumple, Blue Creek and Jefferson townships; and Mrs. Leroy Bibersteine, Wabash township. Visits by the enumerators will start Nov. 16 in Adams county, and farmers should consult their business records to correctly answer questions on the forms. Enumerators will collect the forms when they arrive. An enumerator will call on every farmer in the district under his supervision, the crew leader said. At the time of the call, the enumerator will help the farmer comolete answers to any questions that prove difficult to understand and check the form for accuracy. To Save Time The do-it-yourself aspect of the farm census is aimed at saving time and effort. The census of agriculture is taken every five years in the years ending in “4” and “9” to gather needed, up-to-date information on the nation’s agricultural resources and production. Such information is vital in making decisions affecting many segments of the U. S. economy. Data gathered include the number and size of farms,’ acreage and harvest of crops livestock inventory, information on farm equipment and facilities, farm productions sold, and use of fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides. Enumerators in Adams county belong to a force of 23,000 throughout the nation employed temporarily by the U. S. bureau of the census for this year’s census of agriculture. Key Workers Enumerators are key workers in an agricultural census. It is the enumerator’s resnonsibflity to , locate verv farm within an enumeration district assigned to him (or her), determine if the operator of the farm has answered all questions on a questionnaire that will be mailed to ‘the farmer by the' census bureau, help the farmer complete any unanswered questions on the form, check answers for accuracy, and deliver the form to the census bureau. The enumerators will be trained

Experts Score Girls School

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The riot-torn Indiana Girls School was described by national experts today as “a dumping ground for unwanted children” and a warning was issued that unless a “wholly new concept of purpose” is adopted, the superintendent “will be sitting on the lid until it blows off again.” The statements were included in a 19-page report containing 12 specific findings and 25 recommendations, issued by the National Council on Crime and Delinequency. The council sent two staff members here to study the school at the request of a special committee created to investigate conditions after a riot Sept. 10.

Burl Johnson, joint representative for Adams and Wells counties, stated today after talking the matter over with Gov. Matthew E. Welsh Thursday. Johnson was one of several representatives from Adams county to attend the dedication of the new facilities at the Fort Wayne State school for the retarded, and he discussed the matter with Gov. Welsh at lunch. Richard C. Bodine, of Mishawaka, and William T. Sebree, of Anderson, seem to be the most likely candidates at present, Johnson said. Also announced as candidates are Wayne Townsend, of Upland and Ronald Drake. Johnson stated that all of the candidates seem well qualified to be speaker, and that he will reserve his choice until the time for the Democratic caucus. Gov. Welsh, Gov. elect Branigin, and other party leaders are now discussing legislative matters with the representatives, and it is very important that the best Democratic speaker, who will be able to work most closely with Gov.. Roger Branigin, be selectedJohnson stated. - This is imperative, because of. tax and reapportionment problems that the legislature will have to solve, and which Repub- ■ lican controlleld legislatures have’ side-stepped for 28 years, John-: son continued.

the scene of widespread homosexuality. Sherwood Norman, of the council staff, wrote the report which was strongly critical of the school’s failure to fulfill its role as a training and treatment center. Questions Commitments The report also recommended a “thorough study of Indiana’s juvenile correctional system” since “there is reason to believe that many of these girls should never have been committed to the school.” Recommendations included approval of a plan to build a new recreation building and said a modern detention cottage “is urgently needed.” The report also said existing cottages could be used for housing if they were remodeled. It added, however, that “these cottages should be replaced eventually with single-story fireresistant buildings specifically designed for practicality of program and ease in supervision.” But over and over again the report said “it cannot be overemphasized that staff is more important than buildings and that replacing old buildings is less important than providing competent personnel except (Continued on Page Six) Gift Suggestions For Mentally 111 Mrs. John Brunso, chairman Os the mental health association’s Christmas gift project, in Decatur, said today that the program Is coming along well and that a number of gifts have already been collected.

Casting Co., Union Sign New Contract Management of the Decatur Casting Co. and United Steel i Workers of America, Local 1932, have reached agreement on a new contract, which became effective November 1. The contract was ratified by the union later in the week, signed the following day, to become effective as of November 1. .

The new contract affects about 96 of the Csiting Company's 105 plant employes.

Career Night Held Here Last Evening

John P. Ulmer, academic counselor at the Fort Wayne regional campus of Indiana University, told the Decatur Rotary club and high school students attending Rotary's sixth annual career night ..Thursday night at. .the Decatur Youth and Community Center that selecting one’s proper life work isbecoming increasingly important. George Litchfield and Dr. Harry Hebble were chairmen of the meeting. The speaker said that about 50% of Americans are unhappy with their jobs. He listed three periods of choosing one's career., The fantasty stage occurs before 11 years and largely Incudes dreams about glamorous jobs which children would admire. Next comes the tentative - stage where stu- ‘ dents may be making some decisions toward his interest, but changes are still possible and even probable. After about 17 years of age, a realism and exploratory period begins with trail and error. Many Undecided Ulmer reported that one-third of Indiana freshmen had no real idea about their final occupations, another third thought they knew what they wanted to do but changed already during their first year, and only the last third struck with their choice at least into their sophomore year. The counselor suggested that interest, abilities, values and goals, and career opportunities were the four criterion which students should consider. Interest inventories and tests, talks with several people in the particular field, visits to a college campus, and, if possible, a part time job, could all be helpful in learning one’s real interest. He doubted the need for a full four year college course for

The remodelng work in the industrial arts room was done by the students. The class has made new tables, painted the machinery, made new tools, and rebuilt the tool room. The industrial department is presently working on the display case on the bottom flior and hope to have it finished for Open House. But more is yet to come . . . the 1964-65 student council has prepared a display case on the second floor. A vest made by Connie Lenhart is contributed by the home ec. department, a sponge painting by Sharon Shannon, from the art department, two sketches, by Tom Whitaker and Rick Sommer from the mechanical arts department, and an insect collection by Tonna Sue Bultemeier are artistically arranged in this display case. Botany Display Finally, the biolpgy department will show many leaf and insect collections. There will be microscopes and slides on the tables in the biology room and a display case containing preserved insects, preserved small animals, shells and plants. All these sights to be displayed and the hard work involved deserve some recognition and who can give a student more pride than the parents who enjoy and appreciate them.

everyone. He explained, for example, that for some a two year technical course in engineering might be more satisfying than a four-year tehoretical course. Abilities can be measured best by high school,grades. Colfbge dropouts are at about 50%. Students should have alternate choices to reduce disappointmnt. Every student needs to consider his own sense of values and goals in life. These might include social welfare, security, leadership, creative desire, adventure, and wealth. The speaker felt that a too materialistic attitude with wealth as its only goal was an undesirable one. Opportunities Vary After considering the first three, the student should also look at career opportunities which are constantly changing. The professions which are often thought to be the most desirable represent only 9% of all workers in the United States. "Automation may be replacing some blue collar workers, but it is also increasing the need for technicians,” the speaker said. Jim Brown, Decatur high school senior, repeated his plea for youth and asked the adults present to take time to really consider youth’s problem. President W. Lowell Harper announced that the club will have a ladies night next Thursday, with Edwin Buuck in charge. After the formal meeting, the group divided into many smaller sections where the different vocations were informally discussed. Rotarians and guests served as advisors for each group. Following these sessions, a lunch was served through the cooperation of Pioneer Restaurant, Gerber’s Supermarket, Coco Cola, Co., Decatur Bakery, and the Borden Ice Cream Co.
