Ellis Is Seeking 12 More Guards For State Farm

Albert Ellis, superintendent of the Indiana State Farm, has asked the State Budget Committee for money to hire 12 more guards for the penal institution at Putnamville. This action is the result of a riot by inmates last August 11.

He said the event “left a black mark on the history of the State Farm” and said he wants to take “every precautionary measure possible" to avoid a recurrence. He is seeking $21,420 from the Department of Administration contingency fund to bring the payroll account high enough to cover the added personnel. Another major item before the committee is the request for $113,000 for sewage system rehabilitation at the State Farm.

Decision Is Reversed In U.S. Court NEW ORLEANS UPI —The U. S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed a Florida court decision which favored the American Tobacco Co. in a can-cer-death lawsuit. They remanded the case to District Court in Florida where the heirs of Edwin Green may again sue the tobacco company. The suit said Green died in 1958 after smoking Lucky Strike cigarettes for more than 20 years. His death was blamed on lung cancer caused by smoking. The appeals court quoted a Dr. Ernest Snyder, who testified in the original trial, that “smoking was a main factor in lung cancer" and that “the risk of a heavy smoker to develop lung cancer is at least 20 times greater than a nonsmoker.’’ The court decided the company was not entitled to certain directed verdicts in the Florida decision because it produced a product "not reasonably fit and wholesome." The court said a large amount of the medical evidence used in the original trial can be used again in appeals action with little cost to either side. It pointed out “eight eminent doctors testified on each side."

New Army Rifle Will Fire Darts WASHINGTON UPI — The Defense Department is developing a rifle that shoots darts instead of bullets. A top Pentagon research expert said the darts are only an inch long and about the thickness of a pencil lead, but are capable of inflicting a gaping wound almost as severe as that caused by a dum-dum bullet. He explained that the darts have little fins that keep them stabilized in flight. But when they strike flesh, they lose their stability and turn end-over-end in the wound. The early results were obtained in a project known as “special purpose individual weapon" SPIW, announced by the Army last February. “The weapon could be used as both a rifle and a shoulderfired grenade launcher,” the Army said. “Fully loaded, it is expected to weigh no more than the current M14 rifle and will significantly increase the effectiveness of the combat soldier." The Army did not identify the nature of the ammunition. The defense expert who described the tiny darts indicated that much of the increase in effectiveness would be due to the extreme light weight of the projectiles as compared with regular ammunition. A soldier could carry thousands of the darts, and could fire them either in separate rounds or in a single deadly stream, he said. The expert added that the new weapon would not replace the standard rifle, but could prove highly useful for anti-guerrilla purposes. The Army said the new weapon could be delivered for tests in February next year. Test Is Delayed Until January CAPE KENNEDY UPI — The first orbital test of the Sa-turn-1, a huge missile the late President Kennedy said would give America rocket power superiority, has slipped into January. But U.S. hopes for an early unmanned test of the two-man Gemini capsule received a boost Thursday with the near perfect 5,700 mile flight of a powerful Titan-2 rocket. The versatile missile, capable of delivering a warhead equal to 18 million tons of TNT over a 6,300-mile range, is being readied for an attempt in late February to place an unmanned 7,000pound capsule into an earth orbit. Manned flights may begin late next year. The Saturn-1 will be used to send three-man teams of astronauts in orbit around the earth prior to a moon flight.

Diplomatic Corps, Johnson Discuss Foreign Policies WASHINGTON UPI — Presi-

Two Face Contempt Citations NEWARK, N. J. UPI — Anthony De Angelis, central figure in a multi-million dollar edible oil scandal which has had serious repercussions on Wall Street, has been threatened with a contempt of court citation. Federal bankruptcy referee William Tallyn ordered De Angelis, president of the bankrupt Allied Crude Vegetable Oil and Refining Corp. of Bayonne, N.J., to appear in court next Wednesday to show cause why he should not be cited for contempt of court for his refusal to answer questions. The same order was issued to Ben Rotello, controller of Allied. They were told to show cause before Tallyn why they should not be sent to prison or “otherwise dealt with.” Both men pleaded the Fifth Amendment to all questions asked them during bankruptcy hearings before Tallyn. His action was taken on the request of Daniel F. De Lear, the court-appointed receiver for Allied. Fisinger Speaks At Rotary Club Ernest H. Collins was in charge of the program following the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club at the DePauw Union Building. Don Eisinger, of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, was the speaker.

Wyckoff, the guest of J. P. Allen.

dent Johnson invited the topranking members of the Washington diplomatic corps to the White House today for a “getacquainted session on U. S. foreign policy views. The White House said 112 ambassadors, ministers and chares des affaires were expected to attend the meeting in the state dining room of the executive mansion. Johnson was following a precedent set by President Harry S. Truman in 1945 after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Truman met with the chiefs of all diplomatic missions in the capital eight days after Roosevelt's death. At that time, with World War II still in progress it was considered vital that the new President acquaint the diplomats with his views and assure them of the unbroken continuity of U.S. policy. In many ways, officials agreed, it was no less vital today because of the many critical issues facing the Western Alliance in the cold war. Besides his session with the diplomats, Johnson was to hold another in his series of meetings with Negro leaders. He had an appointment with Mrs. Rosa Gragg, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, and Dorothy Height, president of the National Council of Negro Women. Johnson told a group representing 64 of the nation's biggest business firms Thursday that there had been promising progress toward abolishing racial discrimination in employment, but he added, “we still have a long way to go.” The President said every effort should be made to banish bigotry and prejudice from the United States. He said that artificial barriers to Negroes and other minority groups should be entirely eliminated in hiring practices. Four Polio Cases INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Indiana's polio case total for the year remained four at the end of last week, the State Board of Health reported today.

Two More Held By Tin Miners LA PAZ, Bolivia UPI — The tin miner's revolt spread to Cochabamba Province where two more technicians were reported to have been kidnaped. Miners at Catavi, in Potosi Province, already hold at least 19 hostages, including four Amercians. Government forces meanwhile grouped for a possible frontal attack on Catavi, about 150 miles from here, where rebellious miners last Friday took hostages in an effort to presure the government into releasing three Communist labor leaders it holds on murder and fraud charges. Miners ignored a 48-hour government ultimatum to surrender their captives which expired Wednesday night, and authorities said the matter was now a military and no longer a civilian problem. Reports reaching La Paz did not identify the two new hostages other than to say they were “technicians,” generally foreigners, seized by miners at Colquiri in the general Catavi area. Reports from Catavi said tension had eased somewhat with withdrawl of army troops from the immediate area. O. E. S. Notice The annual Groveland O.E.S.
