Len Pennyworth Says: Community Betterment Project Disregards Sentimental Issue

t When Mrs. Pennyworth burned my hat along with some bther stuff she considered trash, she defended her ruthless act by claiming that she had been engaged in a community betterment project. I'll admit that the lid I bad been wearing while choring •round the place didn’t add much class to the neighborhood. The crown was beaten and battered and the brim drooped in several places. Lately I had noticed that all was not well when I ventured forth in the old hat. The crows had been flying around Pennyworth Acres and the new family in the neighborhood called in their kids when I worked my way toward the fence that divided our properties. Regardless of how it looked on the outside, my old hat felt good on the inside and I could always do my best meditating while sitting in the shade with the hat pulled over my eyes.

When I complained to Mrs. Pennyworth that she had destroyed a beautiful friendship, she assumed a pose of selfrighteousness and opined that the old hat along with some of my other bad habits had to go. Come to think of it, we are all creatures of habit. Some people are in the habit of walking, or driving or parking all around town to attend to their money transactions. They buy money orders at the post office, pay utility bills in cash and make installment payments at various places. Central National Bank customers have long-established habits, too. They Centralize all their money business—savings a-'ounts, checking accounts, auto loans, home loans, personal loans, etc. — at their Full Service Bank — the Central Money Store.

Warning

BOSTON (UPI) — Memo to parents — from the Boston Children's Medical Center: “Lead paint tastes like candy and Is poisonous If swallowed in small doses over a long period. Poisoning occurs because children chew on window sills or other painted areas. If your ! child chews on everything, check with your doctor because lead poisoning must be treated before any symptoms appear.”

the campus at Lafayette, Ind. The building Will house 824 students and their dining area. Construction is expected to begin op. the structure in three months, with completion scheduled for next February.

Married Students CASHINGTON UPI — Marriage has been woven firmly into the fabric of campus life since the G.L first invaded college campuses after World War II, the Population Reference Bureau here reports. Today, undergraduate marriage in the major colleges is taboo only in the armed services academies. Almost one-fourth of all students who will graduate this year are married.

Bubble Buildings LITCHFIELD, Conn. UPI — There’s a prep school here — Formah — where they’ve cre-

ated an indoor swimming pool and an indoor tennis court by blowing bubbles. The bubbles are tent-like structures, supported by air pressure. The skin which forms the walls and roof is a white, translucent, vinyl coated nylon fabric. Two % horsepower blowers inflated the bullbes. The initial cost of about $2 a square foot is about one-quarter the cost of conventional structures.

Construction Is Increased ' General Telephone Company of Indiana is increasing its 1964 construction budget expenditures from $15.3 million to $16.6 million, L. H, Meyer, Company President, said today. The increased construction activity will be directed mainly at three major facility requirements, he explained: (1) a major program to expand the base rate area of many exchanges (this is the area in which urban telephone service is furnished without applying exchange line mileage charges); (2) reduction in number of customers on multi-party lines in many communities: and (3)

the extension of additional cable to provide one-party service to many customers now receiving party line service. This step-up of construction activity will be noted by customers in practically all of the Company’s more than 100 exchanges. The telephone executive concluded his announcement by saying that General Telephone had increased its average investment in telephones in service from $354.45 per main station in 1957 to an estimated $540.91 this year. And, he said, this figure will continue to rise during the foreseeable future as General makes every effort i to bring complete satisfaction i in telephone service throughout its Indiana operating territory.

Bottled Up

NEW YORK (UPI) — The United States is using glasspacked products at the rate of 70.5 billion bottles and jars a year, reports the Glass Container Manufacturers Institute. Some of the containers, such as food jars, make only one trip. Others, like milk bottles, make many. Products packed in glass for consumer use range from foods and beverages to drugs, cosmetics and household chemicals.

Court To Adjourn WASHINGTON UPI — The Supreme Court announced it will adjourn for the term next Monday “unless otherwise ordered.” The justices still have sit-in cases aad other important decisions to hand down.

Cost Of Photos High DENVER (UPI) — High school and college graduates may spend as much as $25 to $30 million on graduation pictures this year, reports a leading manufacturer and distributor of photographic products. A survey of commercial photographers by Honeywell, Inc., in major cities across the country shows that an average of $25 will be spent by families who purchase commercial photographs of graduation classes and the individual graduates in those classes.

NAME CHOSEN FOR SPACE BABY—Admiring their new daughter in a nursing home in Moscow, Soviet cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova and her husband, Andrian Nikolayev, announce they have chosen a name for the baby—Yelena Alenushka—in honor of Valentina's mother, a retired factory worker. The 7-pound girl is the first ever bom to parents subjected to the hazards of space travel.

SON OF REPUTED UNDERWORLD CZAR WEDS— Anthony R. Accardo, Jr., 29. son of reputed underworld czar emeritus Anthony G. (Big Tuna) Accardo, and his bride, former beauty queen Janet Marie Hawley, 22, leave St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church in River Forest, a Chicago suburb, following their wedding. Some of gangland’s most celebrated characters attended the wedding and a sumptuous wedding feast at a roadhouse.

U. S. Jury Indicts Skokie, III., Man INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A federal grand jury Monday charged a Skokie, HI., man with the illegal transportation of gambling devices from Chicago to Terre Haute. Joel Stem, 30, was charged with one count of “using facilities in interstate commerce to carry on a business which violated Indiana state law.” He was formerly the managing partner in World Wide Distributors and Amusements Rentals, the firm w’hich moved the coin operated pinball and electronic slot machines into Indiana, according to District Atty. Richard Stein. The indictment charged that from September 13, 1961, to June, 1962, Stem’s firm used an interstate trucking firm to ship the illegal devices to Terre Haute. Stem severed his connection with the company in early 1963, Stein said. The company still distributes various types of coin-operated devices, but they are not of the type which are defined as gambling devices under Indiana law, he said. “Other distributors of gambling devices are not known at the present time,” Stein said, “but we are continuing our investigation. We know that some machines are still in operation, a few in the Terre Haute area, but where exactly and how many I do not know." Stem faces a maximum penalty upon conviction of five years in prison and a fine of $10,000. The indictment is the first brought in the Southern District of Indiana under a federal law proposed by Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy to fight organized crime.

FOREIGN AID RCQUEST CHANCES MORE HOPEFUL

APPROPRIATIONS SUCH) PRIOR TO SUBMISSION

Purdue Gets Loan WASHINGTON UPI — Purdue University received today a Community Facilities college housing loan of $4.2 million. The funds will be used to construct a new men* residence hall on

Rep. Passman

Stumbling

block.

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washing ton Writer TW WASHINGTON—President Johnson is Increasingly hopeful W that his $3.5 billion foreign aid appropriation request will get through Congress relatively unscathed this year. If it should, it will be in sharp contrast to its fate in other years when the average cut has been about 20 per cent, and last year was reduced by more than a third. Johnson himself can rightly claim virtually all of the credit for this feat. He has been keeping pressure on Congress as the controversial measure moves through its various legislative stages. And as everyone well knows, Johnson can be most “persuasive” in his dealings on legisla-

tive matters.

Advocates of lower foreign aid spending complain that Johnson is usurping the prerogatives of Congress. The very fact that they are complaining is indicative of Mi suc-

cess, so far.

The other day, a House committee approved the necessary authorization legislation intact. An appropriation bill must follow, and this is now being’ worked on in the proper House committee. Rep. Otto Passman, D-La., chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee that handles the funds, is the big

stumbling block.

Passman has been an unalterable foe of foreign aid ever since he was put into his position of power by the late Clarence Cannon, chairman of the parent committee. With Cannon’s death, however, and the ascendancy of a new chairman, there are good grounds to believe that Passman’s wings have been clipped. Besides, unlike his White House predecessors, Johnson insisted in the beginning that the foreign aid request be trimmed to the bone before it was submitted to Congress. Because of its initially defensible total, more congressmen than ever before have been willing to fight against further cuts. The Johnsonian strategy seems to be paying off.

• COMMUNICATIONS VIA SATELLITE—"Comsat” Is the foreshortened Washington word for the Communications Satellite Carp., the outfit owned partly by the public and partly by the communications industry to exploit the international transmission of telephone, radio and television signals by satellite. The company is offering $100 mUlion of its stock to the communications companies and a like amount to the public—at $20

• share.

An important factor in the company’s potential money-making ability rests on whether the United States can get the kind and number of channels it needs to conduct its own world-wide

communications.

An agreement to do so, obviously, would provide the company with a continuing, steady source of income once its systems become operative. Negotiations between Defense Department and

Comsat officials have been going on for months, despite the fact that an April 30 deadline has

long passed.

What disturbs some observers is that while the talks are progressing, a Defense Department contract with another private concern develop-

ing a rival system for the military’s use continues to be running, and paid for. The payments amount to no mean sum—

about $150,000 a day.

Some people in Washington wonder whether the DefenseComsat talks are really so important as to be responsible for that kind of spending. They think that any questions involved should have been resolved before this time, one way or another.

Press For Vote On Civil Rights WASHINGTON UPI — Senate leaders hoped to push the civil rights bill to the brink of final passage today and then set aside a couple of days for final flights of oratory. Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., the bill’s floor manager, said he was parlimentary point where no further amendments could be submitted. He said the Senate would meet into the late evening. Humphrey told newsmen he had planned a late session Monday but decided to defer it until after a caucus of southern senators today. The group scheduled a 9:30 a.m. EDT meeting. Even if the southern group should decide to limit the num|ber of additional amendments to be called to a vote, this would not necessarily curb the action of individual senators. Sen. Strom Thurmond, D-S.C., has said that he would insist on a vote on all 40 of his amendments.

Humphrey's comments sug- Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds,

gested, however, that late night sessions would be the answer if votes were sought on a large number of additional amendments. Humphrey said he expected the final burst of postamendment oratory would take a couple of days. Many senators on both sides of the issue have planned final speeches with time hoarded from the one hour allotted each of them by last Wednesday’s

cloture vote.

The final vote, before the third reading of the bill, which bars further amendments, is to he on the Senate leadership’s bipartisan substitute. Fourteen roll call votes on amendments were held Monday, more than during any previous day in the

present debate.

No major changes were made in the substitute bill by the day-

long voting.

Lafayette Hosts Berkshire Meet Gene Mason, Secretary of the American Berkshire Association, has announced that the 1964 National Berkshire Type Conference will be held at the
