VANCE HARTKE IS SPEAKER AT DEMO MEETING
WILL SPEAK TONIGHT
EVANSVILLE MAYOR IS C ANDIDATE FOR I . S. SENATOR
The people of Indiana and the na.Cion have hwt confidence in the Republican leadership. Mayor Vance Hartke of Evansville said here last night. Mayor Hartke was introduced by Democratic Chairman Clair Albin of Putnam County. “This lack of confidence is reflected in the current economic recession,’’ Mayor Hartke told a Democratic organization rally. “Confidence can be restored only by electing Democrats dedicated to good government and a program of progress.” Mayor Hartke is an active candidate for the Democratic nomination for U. S. Senator. He paid he would be one of those in whom the voters could have the conficVnce necessary to bolster the economy. "The people have confidence in Democrats because they know we are truly interested in the Common people and are the party of decisive action,’’ said Mayor Hartke. “They know the Republicans, when faced with emergencies, just don’t know how to act boldly for the common good. The Republicans are toe tied to special interest. The Republican leadership is quarrelsome and unconcerned with the needs and wishes of millions of common people like us. Sugar coated words like “prosperity is just around the coi ner” anc ‘•chins ‘up” wound off key to millions whi have heard the tunc before. Hoosiers have even lesn confidence in their state adminis tration than they do in the national Republican leadership, said Mayor Hartke. He assailed “High Tax" Harold Handley for raising taxcw and fees “for virtually everything from being born to dying.” Mayor Hartke chided the state Republican administration also for failure to deal with the unemployment problem and talk ing about home rule and thcr. acting against home rule.” Gov ernor Handley and the othei Jannerities in Indianapolis have turned their ba,cks on labor, the unemployed, the small businessman and the farmer,” said Mayor Hartke. While lack of confidence in the Republicans will help the Democratic cause, Mayor Hartke suit Democrats must work hard and nominate good candidates in or der to win. “Republican mistakes; won’t win for us because they have prestige, position and plen ty of money,” he warned felkm Democrats. "The man nominated to heat, our ticket, then, must lx: able t< help coordinate a winning lean of party workers anil must ap peal to independents and un happy Republicans," said Mayoi Hartke. “This does not mean ap peasenient is necessary. But tin candidate must be non-factiona so that he can command the respect •tTnd efforts of all Democi a.ts.

INDIANAPOLIS UP — Gov. Handley late Wednesday said no GOP “purge" of factional foes was ever intended and there will be no more incidents like the firing of half a dozen Brown County workers for failure to support his candidate for GOP county chairman. Handley told newsmen that if any more factional foes are replaced in their patronage jobs, it will be because they quit or died. Handley met newsmen after returning from Washington where he conferred with the nine Hoosier Republican Congressmen in regard to his candidacy for the U. S. Senate seat vacated by William E. Jenner. The governor said his meeting with the Indiana delegation was a "moral victory” because “nobody said he was for me, but nobody said he was against me either.’ But Handley did acknowledge there was at least one other possible candidate for the Republican nomination among the Congressmen. He declined to mention names, but Charles Halleek, William Bray and E. Ross Adair all have been mentioned prominently as possible candidates. Handley insisted the group emerged from the meeting Tuesday as a “harmonious team.” “At least we smiled, shook hands, and were friendly,” he said.

WASHINGTON (UP) -President Eisenhower followed a shielded, abbreviated schedule today in attempting to shake off a sore throat that made him sound like a mournful fog horn. Members of his staff would like him to leave Washington's chilly, damp weather and head south for healing warmth and sun. Since Florida and Georgia have been having an unusually cold winter, the President might possibly seek another place in the sun—such as the Bahamas or the Caribbean. The Chief Executive had originally planned to start this Thursday by attending a prayer breakfast with members of Congress but decided Wednesday night the breakfast was too early—8 a. m.—and might put an undue strain on his throat. The President has been troubled with hoarseness since shortly after he returned Sunday from a cold, windy weekend in Augusta, Ga. He woke up Monday morning with deep basso profundo vocal tones which indicated a laryngeal condition, but wthout fever or other symptoms of a cold. Despite his scratchy throat the President held a news conference Wednesday, his second since late October. Then he had a long conference during the afternoon with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Llewellyn Thompson, U. S. ambassador to Russia. At the news conference the President seemed in amiable spirits and joked about his 'vocal condition.
TAX COLLECTIONS JU P Why Not? The gross income tax was raised fifty percent; and property taxes ai-e going higher annually. We often wonder why taxing officials don't attempt to i-educe expenses to meet income, instead of hiking taxes annually.

Another round of snow, mixed with rain in most places, was due to fall on Indiana today. Forecasts called for rain this afternoon “probably changing to light snow before ending tonight” over the southern two-thirds of Hoosierland. In the north portion, snow flurries were expected tonight and Friday. The precipitation w r as expected to usher in a colder temperature trend. While the mercury hovered no lower than free/' 1 ^ during Wednesday night, is expected to drop to lows from 15 to 20 in the north early Friday, near 18 in the central portion, and 18 to 22 in the southern
third.
Highs in the 30s today and in the 20s Friday were predicted, and the outlook for Saturday was partly cloudy and cold with "a few snow flurries” near Lake
Michigan.
High temperatures Wednesday ranged from 34 at Fort Wayne to 41 at Indianapolis and Evansville. At dawn today, a 7-inch | f f) snow blanket still lay over the
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UP)—A new Vanguard rocket will be moved into firing position as soon as scientists determine what sent its predecessar crashing Into the sea with a satellite payload. Barely 60 seconds of flight by the Vanguard launched Wednesday should provide the answer, and may be enough to make chances good of blasting another U. S. satellite into orbit with the next Navy rocket. The new Vanguard was waiting in a hanger, officials said, in case changes are needed, before it is moved to the launching pad, to correct the trouble which plagued the last rocket. The Navy rocketmen still seemed confident their 72-foot projectile could launch a satellite to match the Army’s Jupiter/C, which sent (Explorer Into orbit around the earth on Friday
night.
The Navy statement said: “Our telementry records show that between the 57th and 60th second after takeoff, small irregularities occurred in the first stage engine control system. After the 60th second a failure in the control system caused tne engine to deflect far to the right and the resultant abnormally high forces caused the rocket to break in the middle.” This meant that the first-stage engine, which is gimbaledmounted on swivels so it caja turn the rocket in the fashion of an outboard motor-deflected the jet thrust suddenly and put the Vanguard into more of a turn than it could take. It broke like
a toothpick.
The announcement indicated it was n^t the guidance system failed, but one of the mechanical or electrical components of the gimbaling system. The rocket was then exploded by the range safety officer. Divere sought to recover parts of the shattered rocket from the ocean floor, including the 31pound satellite, which sent out a steady signal from the time it was mounted i.aside the rocket’s nose cone before it was dunked
in the sea.
