Two Candidates Heard By Farm Bureau Leaders

DOVER —Farm Bureau leaders of the Sixth Congressional District took the measure of the two candidates seeking to represent them in the U.S. House Representatives here recently. Incumbent Rep resentative Richard L. Roudebush. (R), Noblesville. and his challenger. Karl O'Lessker. (D). Crawfordsville. appeared at the meeting called bji Harmon Rogers. New Ross, a member of the Indiana Farm Bureau board of directors. Also attending were C. W. Stall. Danville. Indiana Farm Bureau information Director; Acord Cantwell. Spencer, Indiana Farm Bureau research director; Mrs. Glendon Herbert, Cloverdale; Mrs. Pearl Fidler, Farmersburg: and Mrs. Arthur Etchison. Elwood, all district women leaders. The farmers had a number of questions on their mind-and the candidates answered them straightforwardly. The meeting is one of a series called by Indiana Farm Bureau in a sieppedup “measure the candidates” program. "Farm Bureau,” the candidates were told, “keeps its eye on the issues, not on party attachments.” In the area of foreign affairs. Representative Roudebush said that meat import agreements “haven't been in the best interest of U.S. farmers." and stated that “14 per cent of U.S. consumed meat is imported.” O'Lessker vowed too that “government has no function in negotiating private agreements,” although it does “in tariffs and deals in strategic materials.” Both candidates said they did Hot favor continuance of our present level of foreign aid. Roudebush pointed to his voting record and said, “I’m for spreading the gospel, then giving technical aid.” He said, “I voted for the Peace Corps because they’re 'high-type’ volunteers and they do a lot of good’.’ O’Lessker said that aid programs should be "phased out.” He also felt “aid should be tied to specific projects” and supervised more tightly. Particularly interesting were candidate s’ views on domestic farm programs. O'Lessker said that compensatory payments to farmers “should be phased out.” He declared, “I’m strongly biased for allowing the free market to function. The time is past for what were essentially emergency measures to be phased

out.”

Asked if he favored more government supply management of agriculture, O'Lessker replied, the wishes of the farming community should be observed. If farmers want to be free (even though they may be wrong, they should be freed.” Representative R o udebush. whose record is very, clear on the point, claimed that the “whole theory of compensatory payments is wrong. It leaves farmers subject to the whims of Congress.” He responded to the question on government supplymanagement, “Heavens, no! ' The candidates were at opposite poles on the question of “medicare” financed through Social Security. Roudebush said he did not favor this approach; “I’m for Kerr-Mills, if properly implemented.” O'Lessker, on the other hand said he was for the Social Security approach “although I say that with some (Continued on Page 6)

Barry Is Making c»mnaian Films NEWPORT BEACH. Calif. UPI— Republican presidential nominee Barry M. Goldwater, tanned and relaxed after a sixday seagoing pre-campaign holiday, buckled down to the political business at hand today, Goldwater planned to spend most of the day at a motion pictures studio making short films on a variety of subjects to be used as the campaign progresses.

Lone Bid Is Too High For Arlington Street

The proposed improvement of Arlington Street north from Franklin Street has been delayed by the rejection of the only bid as too high. The Board of Works, consisting of Mayor Fisher. City Attorney Boyd and Councilman Eppleheimer. recommended the bid of $45,000 be returned as it exceeded the engineer’s estimate by nearly $4,000. The proposed work planned to widen the east side of Arlington Street and install sidewalks this fall and to widen the west side next spring. Installation of curbs was planned along with the street widening. The fact that the project was

split into two parts was one of the reasons given for the lack of bidders and the high bid. The lateness of the season was also a factor. The City Council plans to readvertisc for bids in January. At this time funds will be available to do the entire work at one time. This change plus the fact of a longer period for bidders should attract more bidders and better prices. The City Council and the Broad of Works both regret the inconviences caused by the delay but felt that it is to the best interest to the City to take new bids.

PARIS UPI — Twenty-five years ago today. Hitler’s Stuka dive bombers swooped out of the gray skies over Poland U> begin the five and one-half years of death and destruction that was World War U. Before dawn that morning. Sept. 1, 1939, German panzer divisions, carrying out the first blitzkrieg in history, chewed their way across the Poh>ii frontier. An hour before noon, this correspondent watched from the gallery as Hitler brought an obedient Reichstag to its feet with his screaming, hysterical declaration of war against Po-

land.

That night, the lights went out all over Europe. By the time they went on again on May 7, 1945. more than 20 million people were dead. Cietis from Rotterdam to Salerno lay in rubble — including Hitler’s Berlin. And the Soviet Union had extended its control and puppet governments more than 600 miles to the West. Twenty - five years ago. Europe had been poised on the brink of war for a week. In London, they were digging trenches in the parks, issuing gas masks, and evacuating children to the country. In Paris, mobilization orders were bringing millions of young Frenchmen to their regiments. In Berlin, mobilization already had been completed, and Hitler's vast armies stood poised to strike against Poland. But no one dared to believe that war could happen. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had signed the. Munch agreement, dismembering Czechoslovakia less than a year before. He had left his meeting with Hitler genuinely believing in “peace in our time.” Now, he made last, desperate attempts to dissuade Hitler from plunging the world into its second major war in 25 years. But Hitler, the little corporal in Germany’s defeated World War I army, was bent on avenging that loss. Nothing would stop

him.
