Four Break-Ins Are Investigated By Local Police
City police were kept busy Saturday night and early Sunday morning investigating a series of break-ins that involved four Greencastle places of business. The rash of break-ins first was discovered at 11 o’clock Saturday night when officers were informed that someone had entered the Farmers Supply building on East Franklin Street. Police reported that entrance was gained at the rear of the building and that an attempt had been made to open the office
safe.
The next break-in was discovered at Paul Gould's Market on South Jackson Street. A rear door on the north side of the grocery was forced open. Some cigarettes and a few dollars were taken. The K. & K. Gulf service station on South Bloomington Street was the next break-in that the officers investigated. Entrance was gained through a window but nothing appeared to be missing. The last of the break-ins was at Brookshire’s filling station on Ind. 240. Police said nothing was taken and that entrance was also gained by forcing a window. Pictures of some fingerprints found at the Farmers Supply were taken by State Trooper Keith Young, of the Putnamville Post, who was called in by local officers to assist in the investiga-
tion.

Tench’s immediate concern was to review specific areas of aid rcnew'al to make sure mission members will not be in any danger, particularly in the interior of Panama. Both Americans and Panamanians looked to Washington for a break in the peace negotiations that could open the way for restoration of diplomatic relations. Use Poison Gas WASHINGTON UPI — Cuoan refugee sources have charged that Soviet troops in Cuba have been using poison gas to drive anti-Castro guerrillas from mountain hideouts.

Defense Department sources said they had no knowledge that the Russians have brought chemicals into Cu-
ba.

Atlanta Site Of Racial Violence ATLANTA UPI — Atlanta emerged with its image as a racially moderate southern city somewhat tarnished today following a weekend of racial disturbance that erupted into fist-
swinging clashes.
Eighty-four persons including Negro comedian Dick Gregory were arrested and pushing and shoving melees broke out between Negroes and whites during two days of racial demonstrations. Tensions reached a high point when integrationists and Ku Klux Klansmen paraded side-by-side on a downtown street. The demonstrations apparently were sparked by the appearance here of a special United Nations subcommission studying the
nation’s racial strife.
A militant young group of Negroes which is making a bid for leadership of the desegregation movement here turned out hundreds of sign-carrying pickets. Yank Horse Wins PARIS UPI — American-bred trotters keep winning the $100,000 Prix d’Amerique for non-

WASHINGTON UPI — President Johnson asked Congress today to approve a far-ranging housing and urban renewal program aimed partly at providing better homes for America’s poorest citizens. The Chief Executive advocated expansion of public housing and a series of new measures to cushion the financial blow to families who are forced to move because of slum clearance pro-
jects.
He also reaffirmed his intention to enforce an executive orday issued by the late President John F. Kennedy which bans racial discrimination in housing built with federal assistance. Whether we achieve our goal of ei decent home in a decent neighborhood for every American family rests, in large measure, on the actions we take now,” Johnson said in a special message to the House and Senate. He did not estimate the overall cost of the omnibBs legisla-
tion.
Warning that rising population and increasing congestion in cities would create greater problems in the years ahead, Johnson asked Congress to elevate the federal housing agencies to cabinet rank by creating a “department of housing and community development." He also launched a major new program by requesting federal aid to help develop self-sufficient “new towns” containing thousands of homes in areas outside of crowded cities or suburbs.
