Elect Officers

Max Markley, Bluffton, Named President

Max Markley of Bluffton will serve as president and the Rev. William Breedlove of Indianapolis as vice president of the Indiana Baptist Convention.

Mr. Markley, who is a layman,

and the Rev. Mr. Breedlove, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, were elected in the convention sessions which closed late yesterday in New Albany, Dr. J. M. Horton of Indianapolis, executive secretary of the convention, reports that the Baptists of Indiana will give $300,000

toward a national unified budget |

of $6,175,000 for the year. - 5 Denounce Gambling The convention passed resolutions turning thumbs down on {llegal gambling; commended the allied dry forces and related

. groups for their “splendid work

during the recent session of the state legislature” and assured them of the convention's support in future similar work; and made an appeal for clean literature and equad civil rights for all people. The traditional Baptist philosophy of the complete separation of church and state was emphasized by the convention. The sending of a representative of the president to the Vatican was condemned. And the group urged increased effort on’ behalf of settling DP's and full support of the United Nations.

By DONNA MIKELS, Times Staff Writer SHELBYVILLE, Oct. 13—Defense attorneys for Robert Austin Watts today started a hearing to prove that the murder indictment against Watts is worthless because of “systematic exclusion” of Negroes from the Marion County grand jury.
