A FREE MAX MENARD. 111. UPT When Richard Honeck walks through the gates of Menard State Prison today he will become a free man for the first time in this

century.

Honeck. will leave behind 64 years served as a “a lifer” and "the loneliest person in the country." For many years no on*: eared enough to even drop him a Christmas card. Several months ago the story of Honeck's long and lonely prison life appeared in print. As a result he received 2,000 letters — the first he had received in over 50 years. Among them was a note from a widowed niece,

Mrs. Clara Orth, 62, San Leandro,

Calif.

GIRL SUFFOCATES BLOOMINGTON VPI — The 3-year-old daughter of an Indiana University counselor suffocated early today when fire caused by an overheated heater broke out in her bedroom.

to her bed.

For a tasty treat, dip drained canned apricot halves or peach slices in well beaten egg, roll in sifted dried bread crumbs, then saute in hot fat in skillet. Serve

piping hot.

MARCH OF EVENTS

CONFIDENCE IN LBJ IS CROWING PERCEPTIBLY

PRESIDENT PROJECTING PERSONALITY AND ABILITY

The President

By HENRY CATIICART Central Press Washington Writer TVTASHIXGTOX—What began as a prayerful hope is fast bc\V coming a comforting reality. The circumstances of Lyndon B. Johnson's succession to the presidency caused virtually all information media in the United States to rally round the new chief executive. His virtues were accented and his drawbacks, if any, were glossed over or unmentioned. This is particularly true of his legislative experience and his administrative qualities which were admirable for the new, big job that events had pushed him into. They are standing him in good stead, both from his approach to the office and from the treatment he is being accorded by his legislative colleagues, both Democratic

and Republican.

Johnson has had a noticeable success in his handling of the presidency in the short time he has served. His address to Congress was just right and because of this it has been hailed as brilliant. His handling of the personalities and policies of the Kennedy administration, too, has been just right, with the result that he has been able to rally to his own administration the best elements and efforts of the

previous administration.

There is a perceptible growth of confidence In Johnson throughout the country—not just in Washington, or just in the South. Johnson h.is been able to project his personality and excellent abilities into the image of a forceful president—a man equipped and determined to carry on in the best traditions of the office. A leader in his own right. In modem White House history the demands of the presidency have caused most individuals who have entered the office to grow to the required dimensions. In some instances in the recent past, this growth has been surprising. But there has always been a nagging thought that some day the nation’s luck would

run out.

On the basis of his beginnings, it more and more appears that Johnson will grow and change in order to meet the needs of the nation. In fact, it is evident that he already is fitting well into

the role.

• • • • • WOMAN MCE PRESIDENT?—The sad and shocking events of recent weeks have written finis to Sen. Margaret Chase Smith's vice presidential aspirations. The Maine Republican had denied all along that she would seek the office on. the GOP ticket. Rather, she contended, she would make up her mind whether or not to run for the Republican presidential nomination. Politically savvy persons in Washington took her declaration as an indication that she was in fact trying to build herself up as the logical running-mate with Sen. Barry Goldwatcr. Mrs. Smith's supporters were wont to point out the similarities of the Goldwatcr voting record and hers, although, where it was politic, she would point out some differences,

as well.

However, the Goldwatcr star is descending and It is apparent that there is little competition for Mrs. Smith or anyone else who aspires to be his

running-mate on the GOP ticket.

Mrs. Smith's campaign was flexible. She and her backers had so organized their thinking that she could have been acceptable as a GOP vice presidential nominee with almost any candidate

except Nelson A. Rockefeller.

However, with the new accent on the importance of the vice presidency it is no time for a woman to push for that next step in the emancipation of her sex. And politicos have stopped thinking about Mrs. Smith for vice president, or for president, and there are some good signs that Mrs. Smith lias, too.

Old Gold Raps Franklin, 85-69 No muss, no fuss, no bother. Just throw the ball in the basket at a .537 clip and leave the sweating to the opposition. This is the formula DePamv applied to the Franklin Grizzlies in Bowman Gymnasium last night and it worked for a surprisingly easy, 85-69, victory. Consistent all the way, the Tigers hit 18 of 33 shots in the first half and the same number of 34 in the last 20 minutes. Franklin, formerly 4-2 for season and still 2-0 leader of the Hoosier Conference, shot .369 on 24 of 65. After zipping out ahead 8-5 on Bruce Osborne's s i x straight points, the Tigers gradually built up a sizeable lead that plateaued at 44-29 at the end of the half. Osborne had 14 of his 18 points at the half, hitting five of seven from the field and four chances at the free throw line. At least four more Tigers were helping put the game out of reach with .500-plus firing. Stan Bahler, a reserve sophomore forward from Wabash (the city), entered the fray with 18:53 to play in the second half. He replaced Dean Rush after Rush collected his fourth personal. Unable to hit a basket in six previous games, Bahler swished six of his first seven shots, including five in a row that helped drive DePauw to a 76-52 lead with 7:48 to go He ended the evening with 16 points, all fielders. Bahler wasn't the only sub who warmed coach Elmer McCall's heart. Reserve junior guard Skip Collins alternated with Osborne and Jim Callane at the guard spots most of the last half and scored eight points. Dick Putt spelled Bob Hutto at center and added two points, three brisk assists and was third in rebounding behind Morgan Everson (10) and Bahler (7) with five. Except for one starter on the floor until the third team took over at the 1:21 mark, McCall used reserves the last eight minutes.

IN MEMORY In loving memory of our brother and uncle. Herb Ciine, who passed away December 20, 1960. How often do we tread the path That leads us to the grave, Where rests the one we loved so well But whom we could not save. Herb little thought when he left home He would return no more That in death he soon would sleep And leave us here to mourn. We do not know the pain he bore Or why he had to die. We only know he passed away And could not say good-by. Sadly missed by the Roscoe Cline Family.
