Wabash College officials said they planned no disciplinary action against the students and said they did not know where the bell had been hidden, its whereabouts apparently still a secret of the plotters. DePauw officials also decided not to press charges and indicated they expected to next see the bell at the Nov. 13 football game.
The story came to light when 1 officials questioned a group of j Wabash students who acted as i decoys during the actual removal of the bell. The group ! appeared at a university dormii tory and announced they would steal the prize. Residents of the dormitory informed security guards of the students’ presence and the guards went to the dormitory, allowing the second unit to reI move the bell.

Prime Minister, Leaders Confer SALISBURY, Rhodesia UP1 — Prime Minister Ian Smith conferred with his political leaders today to discuss Britain’s conditions for a survey on the question of Rhodesian independence. Rhodesia is ruled by whites although they are outnumbered by the country’s blacks by 20-1. Smith’s government contends the country as whole would accept independence under the framework of the present constitution. Britain proposed a royal commission to sound out Rhodesian opinion on the question, but attached three conditions. They were that Rhodesians be informed Britain does not agree with Smith’s proposals on independence, that both governments must approve the polling method and that the commission's final report must be unanimous. “It’s an interesting statement, isn’t it,” Smith commented on the British proposals. The prime minister has threatened to declare Rhodesian independence unilaterallly. Britain, reluctant to see an allwhite government win independence, has threatened economic sanctions.
Ashes of Draft Cards Received GAR If UPI — An official of Gary Selective Service Board 166 Wednesday verified the branch had received an envelope containing paper ashes. It was thought the ashes may have been draft cards. Authorities said the ashes were turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for analysis. The FBI and board officials refused to comment on the envelope, which was mailed to the board from Gary earlier this week. Informed sources said the FBI had called in a local youth for questioning in connection with the incident. They said the youth reportedly told the board he umuld renounce his citizenship when it informed him he would be inducted into military service.

We especially thank Dr. John Ellett, the singers, pall bearers, Rev. Gene Jones, Rev. Larry Hurst and the Rector Funeral Home for their kind and efficient services. Ivah Masten and family

$7 Million OK'd For Cyclotron : INDIANAPOLIS UPI —First steps toward building a ‘‘next generation cyclotron” near the Indiana University campus at Bloomington were taken Wednesday by Governor Branigin. Branigin approved a state appropriation of $1 million to be used for designing the preparation of a model of a device described as likely to be the first and largest of its type in ! the tvorld. i The cyclotron would cost $5 I to $7.5 million. From one-half | to two-thirds of the cost would | be defrayed by federal fund | contributions if the project is approved in Washington, Branigin said. Branigin disclosed the approval of the preliminary appropriation after a meeting late Wednesday afternoon with Dr. Elvis J. Stahr, president of
i IU -
The governor said the 1965 Legislature paved the way for the start of the project by approving the appropriation as j part of the university’s 1965-66 budget. The cyclotron would be placed in a building about two miles from the campus. State funds would be used to build the structure, but the federal government was expected to pay for the cyclotron.
Planet Flights WASHINGTON UPI — A U.S. space authority said today he believes the Russians ‘‘are planning now” to follow up manned landings on the moon with consmonaut flights to the planets. ‘T would be happier,” he said, “if our own plans in this regard were moving more definitely from the dreams of engineers to the higher level of national decision.” This view was voiced by Dr. Charles S. Sheldon II of the National Aeronautics and Space Council in a lunch talk prepared for the American Institute Of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Sheldon is a key member of the space council’s technical staff. The council is an Executive Department agency which advises President Johnson on space goals and helps to coordinate civilian and military space programs. One of Sheldon’s specific tasks is to make up-to-date comparisons of U.S. and Soviet space aims and achievements. Both nations, he said, “are striving to land men safely on the moon in this decades.” Sheldon said he believes “we have every chance of being first” on the moon but that it is possible the Russians may “beat us there.” In any case, “The 1970s will surely see both nations able to travel to the moon.”
New Project WASHINGTON UPI—Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz Wednesday announced a project costing 11,073.900 would be in stituted in southern Indiana to aid 1,080 young persons. Wirtz said the Youth Corps project would provide part-time work for 480 high school students to keep them in school and full-time jobs for 600 other young people. He said the jobs would range from teacher's aides and assistants to maintenance and grounds workers.

WASHINGTON UPI — The Agriculture Department said today prices received by U. S. producers for shorn wool for 1966 likely will remain firm and average about the same as in
1965.
This firmness is expected to result from a high level of consumption by U. S. mills in 1966, higher wool prices and mill activity abroad, and smaller domestic and world production in 1966, the department said in a review of the wool situation. The 1965 average shorn wool; price received by producers is expected to be around 5 cents ! to 6 cents lower than the 53.2 i cents per pound, grease basis, than received during 1964. Wool production in the United States in 1966 is expected to be slightly below 1965 because of a probable continued decline in sheep numbers, the department said. The Jan. 1, 1966, sheep and lamb inventory is expected to be about 26.5 million head, down slightly from the 26.7 million head a year earlier. The decline in sheep numbers is expected to result in a shorn | wool production for 1966 of about 212 million pounds, grease basis. This compares with an estimated 213 million pounds i in 1965. The department said.
I this would be the lowest production since the late 1800s. More than 300 of the nation's leaders in agricultural marketing will meet at Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 9-11 for the 13th annual national marketing ser-
vice workshop.
The Agriculture Department said methods of strengthening marketing programs for agricultural commodities will be discussed. The theme of the meeting will be "a look at current and prospective marketing needs and opportunities.”
