Introduced last year in Marathan service stations throughout Inidana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky, the game stimulated even greater interest than anticipated. J. J. H. Phil-

lips, advertising and sales promotion manager for Marathon Oil Company, noted that more correspondence was received on “Cross-Out” during the first of week of the game in 1963 than had been received on any pro-

motion in the past.

As a result of enthusiastic reception and participation in last years’ game, the number of prizes has been increased from 20,000 to 25,000, and the game will run for ten weeks—two weeks longer than last year. Prior to last year, a similar version of the "Cross-Out” game was used by Marathon in a small section of its marketing territory. The enthusiastic reception and public participa-

Russians Issue Showdown Call MOSCOW UPI — The Soviet Union today issued a new call for an immediate showdown

conference of world Communist parties that is likely to result in the “excommunication’’ of Red China from the international movement. Claiming the support of at least 52 Communist parties, the Kremlin charged that China

was trying to put off such a conference to gain more time fpr “splitting” and “subversive” activities and to set up “puppet” parties around the world. The official Communist party newspaper Pravada said, “A new international conference of Communists can become an important stage in the struggle for unity. The majority of the Communist parties of all areas of the w’orld are coming out for its speediest convocation.” The new conferencee call, coming on the heels of accusations that China considered the 1950 Sino-Soviet alliance worthless and that It was not part of the world Communist movement, appeared to point in. only one direction. An end once and for all to the once monolithic international Communist bloc. The government newspaper Izvestia indicated the 14-year-old Sino-Soviet military and economic pact is finished.

Nutting Wants $12 Auto Plate INDIANAPOLIS UPI —Commissioner Allen Nutting of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles said today he hopes the 1965 Legislature will adopt a single passenger car plate fee of $12 a year and forget about trying to enact another wheel tax. Nutting’s,plea for simplicity came during a news conference called to announce the 159,646 checks of $10 each will go into the mail, beginning Monday, to pasenger car owners who paid the 1964 Marion County wheel tax.

At the time, the license bureaus, collecting agencies for the tax under the law, was ordered by the court to cease collecting the tax, of which $1,596,460 had been collected. Nutting disclosed that taxpayers throughout the state contributed $9,344 to pay for the cost of making the refunds. He said since there were no other funds available, the cost of the refund operation was met by the bureau’s regular operating budget. Nutting said the largest amount of - this cost was postage, $7,982.
