Putnam County Democrat Group Hears 0 Lessker

Karl O Lessker, Democratic candidate for Sixth District Congressman, Thursday night called on Republican Representative Richard Roudebush to "disassociate himself from the farnght extremist groups that are backing him for reelection." Speaking at a meeting of Putnam County Democratic leaders, O'Lessker said, "Roudebush is one of the Congressional favorites of the Americans for Constitutional Action (ACA), an extremist outfit allied with the John Birch Society.” He noted that ACA has twice publically commended Roudebush for consistently voting in Congress to uphold group’s positions. O'Lessker pointed out that ACA has gone on record against social security, minimum wage, public works. REA. and the use of federal funds for education, health research, slum clearance, and combating water pollution. ACA. said O Lessker, wrants the Post Office to be run by private enterprise, and it has "even publically denounced the Girl Scouts as un-American, because the Girl Scout handbook contained a chapter explaining the workings of the United Nations.” The Democratic candidate said, "Americans for Constitutional Action stands for reckless adventurism in foreign affairs and for destruction of the social progress America hai made since the Great Depression.” ACA recently rated Roudebush as voting 94 per cent of the time in Congress to support the ACA position on legislation. Two years ago, ACA awarded Roudebush 100 per cent rating for his voting record in the 87th Congress. "ACA has long tried to look respectable by attaching itself to Congressmen.” said O'Lessker. “M any legislators denounced this extremist group by name and have refused its awards. But not Mr. Roudebush. He welcomed them.” Probe Scheduled Of Girls School INDLANAPOLIS UPI — The Marion County grand jury will open a probe of conditions at the Indiana Girls School Monday, including charges made following a riot there alleging "considerable evidence or homosexual activities.
