PROXMIRE IS SWORN IN AS WIS. SENATOR

WASHINGTON (UP) — William Proxmire, the first Democrat to be elected to the Senate from Wisconsin in 25 years, took the oath of office yesterday. The oath was administered by Vice President Richard M. Nixon at 12:12 p. m., just over two hours after the Senate received a telegram from Wisconsin Gov. Vernon W. Thomson certifying the 41-year-old Democrat’s victory over former Republican Gov. Walter J. Kohler. Proxmire rushed here from Wisconsin Wednesday night, hoping to be sworn in immediately. But Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland objected because Thomson’s certification had not been received. Sen. Strom Thurmond, D-S. C., who was filibustering the civil rights bill, stopped talking long enough to allow Proxmire to take the oath. Thurmond had been talking for 17 hours, with only brief interruptions, when he yielded.

Chicago Police Hunt For Clues

Rector Funeral Home AMBULANCE SER\ ICE PHONE 341

CHICAGO (UP) — A special task force of 650 policemen began the biggest single search in Chicago history today in an effort to find clues to the butcher murder of Judith Mae Andersen, 15. Police Commissioner Timothy J. O’Connor ordered 515 rookies from the police training school, their 40 instructors and a force of 106 regular officers into an intensive block-by-block search of the city’s entire north and northwest sides. The dramatic drive for clues marked an all-out police effort to solve the gruesome slaying of Judith Mae, the sixth youthful victim in recent years of unsolved murders in the Chicago

area.

"The evidence we want has to b* some place, and we’re going lo fmd it," O’Connor said.

'Baby' Nuclear Blast Unleashed

ATOP ANGELS’ PEAK, Nev. (UP) — Scientists today unleashed a "baby” nuclear blast believed to be part of a safety test of materials to protect human eyes from flash blindness. The device was detonated at 7:40 a. m. CDT, the 14th atomic explosion of the 20-shot summor “Plumbbob” series at the Nevada

proving grounds.

The device, called “Franklin

was triggered from a

plastic balloon 750 feet over the test site. The balloon was anchor-

ed to the desert floor.

There were 19 experiments on the sequence timer. Six Army, 2 Navy and 16 Air Force planes swooped into the test area after the shot in a support training maneuver. The planes also contained delicate instruments to register radioactive material. Despite its small size, clear skies resulted in the blast being seen in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Buildings in Hollywood also were lighted by the blast. It was estimated that the shot uncorked a power equal to about 8.000 tons of TNT. The fireball appeared in the sky for about 30 seconds. It displayed a vivid red color and then faded to orange. The experiment was closed to reporters who witnessed the shot from here, about 55 miles from ground zero. The familiar mushroom cloud puffed up to about 20.000 feet a minute after the shot was detonated. The top of the cloud was like a ball of cot-

toij.

Demos Gather At French Lick

‘probably would iTbmination if

FRENCH LICK, Ind. (UP) — Democratic National Chairman Paul Butler said today he probably won’t run for U. S. Senator if Claude Wickard decides to do so—and vice versa. Butler, one of at least eight possible seekers of the Democratic nomination next summer, was here for the 1958 election "kickoff,” the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association meeting. Wickard, former agriculture secretary from Camden, lost to Sen. Homer E. Capehart in 1936. Butler has been "considering” resigning the top party post for

several months. Butler said he not” seek the Wickard did.

"Claude Wickard and I are very good friends, and we wouldn’t oppose each other,” he said. More than 400 party workers and bigwigs began arriving at this resort town for a two-day session of politicking and speech

making.

Headline speaker at a Saturday night banquet will be Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, at 32 the youngest man in the Senate. His appearance was in line with a new emphasis on youth. "The’ Democratic Party,” said state chairman Charles Skillei, “has been out of power and you have to grow these people.” Skillen referred mostly to the fact Indiana hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since 1938 nor a Democratic governor since

1948.

—JACKSON FARMERS Roll call captain for the Fall membership drive was appointed by Chairman Pitcock and helpers will be asked to assist. An enjoyable social hour followed the meeting which consisted of music and songs by two very talented young people, Miss Joanne Costella and Denis Taparo of Clinton, Vermillion county, whose love for music was an inspiration to all. Watermelon was served to the musicians, guests Rev. Norris, Mrs. Augst Taparo and the members.
