Vigo Democrats To Hold Rally TERE HAUTE UPI — Governor Branigin plans to attend a Vigo County Democratic organization dinner tonight honoring the party’s state leaders. Chairman Robert X. Kelly of the sponsoring county committee said several hundred persons were expected to attend. He said Sen. Birch E. Bayh, Jr., might stop briefly enroute to St. Louis to address the National Farmers Organization convention. There was speculation Terre Haute Mayor Ralph Tucker might use the occasion to announce any political plans he may have for next year. It has been rumored Tucker may an- | nounce his 7th District con gressional candidacy.

Speeding Fine $ Paid In Nickels SOUTH BEND UPI — Paul Dwight Kauffman, 28, Elkhart, readily admitted his guilt when arraigned in South Bend City Court on a charge of speeding. He accepted a $27.25 fine without protest. But when he left court to get some fine money at a nearby bank and found a parking ticket on his car, Kauffman sort of blew his stack. At the bank, he got 545 nickels and plunked them down on the counter at City Hall. Court personnel balked at counting the nickels but Judge Philip Potts, who levied the fine, saved them the trouble. He bought the nickels, saying his youngsters needed a lot of them at school. Asked why he paid with nickels instead of pennies, Kauffman said "I wasn’t that mad.”

NEW YORK UPI— American tourists long have been singled out as the main culprits in despoiling the nation’s highwaysand byways with litter. A recent survey, however, indicat esthey have been grossly maligned. The survey was conducted by Keep America Beautiful (KAB), the national litter-prevention organization. It takes the major blame away from the tourists and places it on the shoulders of local residents. KAB asked professional and voluntary litter fighters—and equal number of men and women in all 50 states—the ques-

tion:

“Who produces the most litter? Local residents of tourists?” Local residents were indicted by 78 per cent. Only 13 per cent said tourists while 9 per cent had no opinion. The concensus was summed up by one respondent: “Like auto accidents, most littering oc-curs within 25 miles of home.” However, Allen H. Seed, Jr., KAB’s executive vice president, said this does not mean tourists are entirely without fault. "Some tourists still litter and contribute to the mess along our highways,” he said. “But the survey confirms what

zona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Wyoming. A number of others, including Illinois, Mississippi, Vermont and Wisconsin, provide for maximum fines of $50. New York City has a $25 limit for littering, but it makes up in volume of convictions for the relative smallness of the fine.. More than 60,000 litterbugs were fined a total of more than $200,000 last year. Judges in California, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, South Dakota, Texas and other states recently have meted out a new kind of penalty—making the punishment fit the crime. Flagrant litterbugs are sentenced to clean up stretches of highway and beaches of empty cans, paper and other debris discarded by equally-thought-less or careless visitors. KAB, which conducts a continuing public educational program to combat littering throughout the United States, urges all motorists to carry litterbugs in their cars as the campaign to keep America clean. Most states proivde receptacles along highways where the bags can be emptied or deposited.

refugee airlift swung into its' second day today with about 90 more anti-Communist exiles ex- , pected to be released from Fidel

Castro’s island.

Most of the first 75 landed in Wednesday’s initial flight were on their way by plane to re- ! settlement with relatives across | the United States after processing by federal authorities. They told of how they had to spend all night completing required government paper work to make Wednesday’s flight. The Cuban refugee center reported that only 13 of the 75 were remaining in refugeecrowded Miami. The others headed for a dozen cities from New York to Los Angeles. A chartered American DC7C was flying back to Varadero Airport, east of Havana this morning and was due to return, here about midday. Wednesday’s launching of the U.S.-operated airlift, slated to funnel more than 100,000 Cubans into this country at the i rate of 4000 a month over a period of years, was somewhat

confused.

First, engine trouble caused an hour’s delay in the departure of the chartered plane from Miami. Then word came that the original 92 persons expected were cut to 82. Finally the fig-

Castro government blamed dalays in the delivery of telegrams to the refugees selected for Wednesday’s flight for the launching snafu and said that the situation would be corrected today.
