O'Lessker Raps Voting Record Of Rep. Roudebush

Karl O Lessker, Democratic candidate for Sixth District Congressman said Friday night that the Congressional voting record of his opponent. Rep. Richard Roudebush, “remains the principal issue in this campaign, and I intend to continue telling the people what that record is.” Speaking at a Democratic Party bean dinner in Greencast’e, O’Lessker said, “the real questions in this campaign boil down to this: will the Sixth District be better represented by a Goldwater Republican or by a moderate Democrat?” “Roudebush has done more than just endorse Goldwater,” said the Crawfordsville Democrat. “He is one of Goldwater’s most enthusiastic supporters. His voting record in Congress is that of Goldwater follower.” “I believe that Roudebush’s Goldwater sympathies have led him to vote time and time again against what our people wanted.” said O’Lessker. “It seems to me that the choice is pretty clear, “the congressional candidate continued. “Those people of the Sixth Dist’-' it who believe that Goldwater and his ideas are best for T udiana and for America should vote for a Goldwater man fer Congress. They ought to cast ' heir ballots for Mr. Koudebush.” “But I ask all those people— Democrats, Republicans, and Independents—who believe in their hearts that the selection of Goldwater would be bad for ou-’ country and for our state, who believe that President Johnson more nearly represents the thinking and traditions of our people, I ask them to elect to Congress a man who shares their beliefs. I ask them to vote for Karl O’Lessker.” Farm Bureau To Hold State Meet Farm Bureau members from Putnam county will join their counterparts from all over the state for the annual meeting of Indiana Farm Bureau, November 8-10, in the Murat Temple, Indianapolis.

_ Indiana Rites GOOD OLD for Cole Porter

DAYS

From our files of 1894: (Editors note: Prior to the days of UPI and AP wire esr-•vio-os, newspapers relied upon telegraph. Short items over the wire and editors picked them up as they came over. Usually the news items were several days old, but editors found themselves in need of copy and Uied them regardless. Here are r few of the short notes published. » Prostrations by heat are num-

erous.

Cormersville papers are urging a park. Amos Cox, an Ehvood Deaf mute, is violently insane. Near Grove town an unknown man was cut to pieces by a

train.

Fire in Panama destroyed over 230 houses. Mrs. Sarah Dayton dropped dead in New York when she found Mary Taggerty.her maid, writhing in pain from self-ad-ministered carbolic acid. Dastardly attempt to wreck a train was made near Monongahela City, Pa. An attempt was made near Farmland to poision country school children by poisioning the well. J. H. Favors and William Daniels were arrested just after being released from the southern prision. They escaped during their terms, were were recaptured in Illinois and refused to return without requisition papers. Now they are published for their stubborness. The Farmland well poisoning case turns out to have been simply the too great use of bad

water.

Jim Cook, leader of an Indian territory gang of desperadoes, was shot to pieces by officers. Shelbyville is overrun with tramps. Buglars robbed the Dunkirk postoffice. They got 60 cents. Rev El Santa Anita, a 40 to 1 shot, won the American derby at Chicago. The Boers and Zulus in South Africa are still fighting. John Traub. an Indianapolis saloonkeeper, while shooting at a mark missed and hit Lottie Russell in the mouth, knocking out several teeth. Purse Found By An Honest Youth There are still some honest people in this topsy-turvy world as The Daily Banner staff found out Friday after-

noon.

A young man came to the office with a squeeze coin purse that he had found out in front of the G. C. Murphy Store on East Washington Street. The little purse contained S20. The young man is Dan Tessmer, who resides at 204 South Spring Avenue. The purse was lost by Josie Jones, 12, who is in the seventh grade at the Greencastle Junior High School. Needless to say, the young lady was very happy to get her money back, thanks to a young man’s honesty.

Federal Judge Speaks At DPU Federal Judge James Parsons lashed out at the Black supremacy group,, the Black Muslims ,and also criticized White Americans for their ignorance of the Fourteenth Amendment in a speech yesterday at DePauw University. Parsons, an articulate Negro appointed by President Kennedy in 1961 to the District judgeship of Northern Illinois, spoke before a convocation audience on the campus. Illustrating the first of four elements he said were necessary to successful human relations. Parsons maintained many existing conflicts would be diminished if people “had a masterful grasp of the facts” about a situation. He suggested that Negroes would divest themselves of Black Muslin association if they knew the racist group's true intent, and tenets. He called it a “violent training program for hate, a diabolical

cult.”

And White persons. Parsons added, should quickly tinderstand that meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment which

“so many Americans in their ignorance insists on deriding and decrying today.” The University of Chicago graduate and former college teacher and administrator, in what he called “a summons to greatness,” added that survival of our civilization also depends on a philosophy of fairness characteristic of out democratic process, projective and aginative thinking, and moral courage to bring about change. Played A Role WASHINGTON UPI-Recon-naissance flights by the highflying U2 spy plane may have played a role in abtaining for the United States advance information on Red China’s first

nuclear blast.

The U. S. intelligence system often has been criticized in the past for not foreseeing events, but it was right on target in predicting Communist China’s

nuclear plans.
