Latin American

Week Observed

On DPU Campus

An ambassador and a foreign correspondent for one of America's largest metropolitan newspapers launch DePauw’s University's unprecedented observance of “Latin America Week,"

which opens today.

DePauw Speakers

Proclaimed by President William E. Kerstetter "in recognition of Latin America's importance to the United States and to the world," the week is bulwarked by two major addresses—both public —on inter-American affairs Thursday and Friday.

Knowledgeable spokesmen for the student-sponsored observance include Dr. Juan Plate, Paraguayan ambassador to the United States and to the Organization of American States, and Jules Dubois, Latin American correspondent for the Chicago Tribune Press Service.

A pair of diplomatic shifts cost Latin America Week its top flight keynote speaker, Edward Martin, who was to speak tonight and be feted at a dinner.

Jules Dubois

Martin, the State Department's number one man on Latin American affairs and chi“f administrator of the Alliance for Progress, was relieved of his post shortly before Christmas by President Johnson. This past weekend Martin was sent to Argemina as U.S. ambassador. After the switch. Martin, who had been booked by LA Week organizer Dave Prosser for several months, told Prosser his appearance in Greencastle now “would be inappropriate.” Senior Deputy Assistant Secretary of State S. J. Cottrell then was sent in to pinch hit for Martin but over the Christmas vacation became unavailable. And his relief speaker. Dr. Ben Soloman Stephansky, former U.S. ambassador to Bolivia, struck out Saturday morning with “a severe cold.”

Prisoners' Art Work Displayed

Perhaps the most unique art exhibition ever to hang at DePauw University went up in the galleries of the University’s Art Center today. An interstate cultural effort, the show represents paintings and drawings done by inmate artists at a pair of major prisons in Indiana and Michigan. The collection, appropriately named “Inmates Art,” includes 19 works by Indiana State Reformatory inmates at Pendleton and 23 more by men inside the world's largest walled compound at the State Prison of Southern Michigan, near Jackson. Although the extraordinary show opened today and runs until January 26, the official ceremonial opening is set for Friday, January 10 at 7 p.m. (CDT). Correction officials in Indiana, interested in the art program for its rehabilitation value as well as for its recreational and aesthetic merits, have been invited to participate in the January 10 public opening. If tentative plans materialize, the artists’ constituency will be

represented too. The program format includes a spokesman for the Indiana Correction Department, an inmate artist, plus DePauw sociology professor. Dr. Paul Thomas, a former member of the Indiana Parole Board. “Inmates Art,” minus the Hoosier contributions, already has been circulated widely in Michigan art circles—outside the wall.

The pontiff left Jerusalem before dawn to drive to Bethlehem on the final day of his three-day tour of the Holy Land. He said Mass in the grotto believed to be Christ’s birthplace and told the divided Christian churches “the will of Christ is pressing upon us” to seek unity.

He hurried back to this holy city for his second meeting in 12 hours with the bearded, blackrobed patriarch, spiritual leader of 13 million Eastern church members who have been separated from Rome for nine centuries.

As they did Sunday night, the two leaders embraced and kissed. Then the pontiff, in a Latin message he had planned originally to deliver at their historic first meeting, said:

Robert Bailey, 40, Roachdale Route 2, was listed in serious condition today at the West 10th Street Veterans Hospital in Indianapolis after being shot twice by his mother, Mrs. Car9line Bailey, 60, about 8:30 Saturday

night.

The shooting took place in the home of Mr. and Mis. Forrest Bailey in Barnard. The elder Baileys run the general store in Barnard. According to witnesses, the younger Bailey had been drinking and started beating his son, Forrest Lee, age 7. Mrs. Bailey told her son to stop or she would shoot, it was reported. When he failed to heed her warning, she fired a 22-caliber revolver twice. One shot hit him in the lower right chest and the other entered his hip. Bailey was taken in an ambulance to the Veterans Hospital. Sheriff Kenneth Knauer and Deputy Paul Mason were summoned and conducted a preliminary investigation S a t u rd a y

night.

Sunday morning. State Detective Harold Jackson and Sheriff Knauer went to the Bailey home in Barnard for further questioning of witnesses. They were accompanied by James Houck. Putnam County Prosecutor. Authorities said that Robert Bailey, a World War II serviceman, is also the father of two daughters, ages 12 and 13. Sheriff Knauer reported Monday morning that doctors found it necessary to remove one of Bailey’s kidneys Sunday.

“After centuries of silence and expectation, the Catholic church and the patriarchate of Constantinople meet once again in the persons of their highest representatives. “It was fitting then—a n d Providence has permitted it — that it should be in this place, this forever blessed and sacred place, that, as pilgrims from Rome and from Constantinople, we should be able to meet and be united in a common prayer.” Sunday night, the twb leaders promised to continue to work toward eliminating their differences, and Pope Paul indicated today that negotiations would be forthcoming.
