"The 20" Exhibiting Works At University

A traveling free exhibition of paintings and sculpture including 23 works of Indiana artists is now on view through July 30 in the Union Building at DePauw.

The work has recently been shown at Indiana University and the Risley Gallery in Evansville, after having traveled the principal cities of eastern Indiana. Though largely conservative in nature, the exhibit includes a variety of styles and tech-

niques in both water color and oil, including landscapes, seascapes, still-life, portraits and floral paintings. Represented are many instructors of art in Indiana, from Indianapolis: Ruth Anderson.

McNamara, Lodge To Decide Viet Future

WASHINGTON UPI — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and new Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge leave tonight for Saigon to establish what “new and serious decisions’’ America may have to make in Viet Nam. President Johnson, in his news conference Tuesday, warned that such decisions may be forthcoming after McNamara and Lodge report on the results of their week-long mission to embattled South Viet Nam. McNamara was expected to discuss the trip, his sixth in little more than three years, at a news conference today. One of the decisions Johnson referred to could be a call-up of the military reserves such as that of the late President John F. Kennedy during the 1961 Berlin crisis. The Chief Executive put it

this way:

“Any substantial increase in the present level of our efforts to turn back the aggressors in 20 Years Ago Mrs. Walter Bundy was a patient in the Putnam County

Hospital.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert D. Patton were visiting their son. Bob, ft ho was taking his boot training at the Great Lakes, HI., Mrs. Ray Herbert was hostess to the Current Book Club. Heavy rainfall temporarily stopped all harvesting in Putnam County.

South Viet Nam will require steps to insure that our reserves of men and equipment of the United States remain entirely adequate for any and

all emergencies."

Shortly after the President made his statements, Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111., told newsmen at the Capitol he expected the administration to ask Congress very soon for "additional authority and money — a good deal of money" for the Viet Nam war. He said it was a matter of "speculation" that reserves might be called up. House GOP Leader Gerald Ford, Mich., called on Johnson to deliver what he termed a “state of the emergency" message to squelch or confirm rumors and speculation about prospects in Viet Nam. Among these rumors he mentioned one that military reservists are to be recalled to active duty, and another that the President plans to ask for an enlarged defense budget. (Continued on Page 2)

Mon, 80, Tries To Re-Enlist VENTURA, Calif. UPI — Since it was founded nearly 190 years ago. the U. S. Marine Corps has glorified in the boast of its veterans—once a Marine, always a Marine. Birger F. Westergard is no exception. But Westergard is fighting mad these days because the Marines apparently don’t want him back. Repeatedly, the Marines rejected Westergard’s offer to return to the corps he served for 22 years and two months. “ Iwould like to re-enlist to free a stateside Marine for more active duty,” Westergard said Tuesday. “I’m in the best of health and proud of the corps. I can’t understand why they’ve turned me down.” Westergard is 80.

TO ALL GREENCASTLE MOTORISTS: Traffic experts predict the number of motor vehicles on Indiana highways and the miles they travel will break all records for the last six months of this year. The current rate of traffic accidents and fatalities on Indiana streets, country roads and highways indicates that 1965 may be the most tragic year for vehicle slaughter in the history of our state. All Hoosier motorists must develop the constant awareness that thoughtless, careless or reckless acts behind a wdieel are the ingredients of suicide. That wanton disregard for personal and public safety characterizes the driving of many persons in our state is attested to by the alarming toll of death during recent months. I urge all motorists to drive carefully and observe all traffic laws. The police department is to make a concerted attack on all traffic law T violators. Raymond S. Fisher. Mayor Greencastle, Indiana

PASADENA, Calif. UPI — The U.S. Mariner 4 spacecraft mission to Mars reaches its climax today in an historic attempt to take the first closeup photographs of the mysterious red planet. The first crucial step in the complex picture-taking process ■—more than 134 million miles from earth — takes place at 7:15 a.m. PDT when an electronic sensor on Mariner 4 starts searching for Mars. Some 10 hours later, if all goes well, the spacecraft’s “cosmic eye" will begin its picturetaking encounter in a 25-minute period during which 21 photographs will be snapped for transmission to earth starting Friday. Radio data received from Mariner 4 at earth tracking stations indicated the windmillshaped spacecraft was on course. “We are ready to go," said Dan Schneiderman, Mariner project manager for Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. But scientsts were at the nail-biting stage since they conceded they had no way of knowing in advance if the camera would work. JPL Director Dr. William H. Pickering had this comment: “I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but I want to admit the possibility that we may get no pictures at all." Pickering said JPL scientists would know Thursday morning whether the photographic phase of the experiment had collected “reasonable data." The first picture may be available to the world Friday, Pickering said. Each picture will take eight hours and 35 minutes in transmission. (Continued on Page 2)
