WASHINGTON UPI — Administration economists, busy compiling figures for a presidential decision on a possible tax increase, are studying with some concern new reports of a sharp-rise in price* last monte. The Labor Department reported Thursday its consumer price index rose four-tenths of 1 per cent in March, compared to February’s increase of fivetenths of 1 per cent Arthur Ross, commissioner of Labor statistics, said “the widespread character of the increases gives cause for con-
cern.’’
The March increase stemmed
mostly from higher price tags on food, but prices were also up on apparel, used can and near-
ly all types of services. The latest jump brought the
consumer price index to 112 per cent of the 1957-59 average. In shopping basket terms, this means a housewife pays $11.20 for the same package of goods and services that cost only $10
in the 1957-59 base period. The White House has -been
" ' i n ’ » noKung oti a decision on whether to raise taxes. Mixed economic indicators, some showing gains against inflation and others showing losses, gave a muddy picture of economic
trends, economists said. The latest word was that
President Johnson will make up Ms mind near the end of the
month. -
Hoosier Traffic Toll Mow 422 •y United Pres* International Safety officials counted 422 names on the Indiana traffic fatality list for 1966 today compared with 370 a year ago. The toll increased Thursday when Earl Leets, 50, Crown Point, was killed in a car-train collision at a U.S. crossing in Dyer, a Lake County town south of Hammond. Police said Leets’ car crashed through a barricade gate lowered to protect motorists as the train approached.
Ugly Coins
WASHINGTON UPI — Rep. Paul A. Fino, R-N.Y., wants the Treasury to come up with a new coin to replace the “ugly” copper-silver dimes and quarters now being minted. He filed a bill Wednesday requiring the Treasury to conduct a study of new coin development.
Rev. Webb, Wile To Work With Japanese
Rev. and Mrs. Maxwell James Webb have been selected by the Interboard Committee for Christian Work in Japan to be part of the team of ministers and their wives who will work in 15 selected areas of northern Japan this summer. Word of their nomination and appointment was received three weeks ago, and early this week the General Board of The First Christian Chinch voted to share their minister in this special
evangelism ministry.
The United Church of Christ of Japan, a joint support area of right major Protestant denominations in North America, has requested the Japan Interboard Committee, headquarter* ed in New York City, to select 16 ministers of local congregations—two from each denomination—who would be willing to participate in a Christian center as assistant to a minister of the United Church of Christ of Japan. The western clergyman win be assigned to a young well trained interpreter and the lo-
cal Japanese pastor.
Limitations of language prevent a mass evangelism approach from being effective, and therefore work will be on a person-to-person basis. Weekly preaching to small groups, teaching persons desiring Christian education, working with youth, women’s and men’s groups, and appearing before various community organizations will be part of Rev.
W.HW. rr im nnnililllti i i L dia ' E S ? P ^ ^ Hol y Land - xespcnaiQumea,. * ^ Rome. This portion
The Division of Foreign Missions of the United Christian Missionary Society of the Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ) nominated pastors who might be considered by the Interboard Committee for this special summer evangelism project. In addition to Rev. Webb, ths Rev. Kenneth Jones, minister of First Christian Church, Borger, Texas, will represent the Christian Churches of the United States and Canada. Protestant denominations participating in the Interboard Committee’s work in the United Church of Christ of Japan, include: United Church of Canada, Methodist Church, The United Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Church, U.S., Evangelical United Brethren Church, The Reformed Church in America, United Church of Christ in the U.S.A., and the Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ). Director of the summer program is the Rev. Franklin J. Hinkamp, minister of the Reformed Church, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. While the Webbs have been making decisions with their children concerning summer activity, and the First Christian Church determined the threemonth program as an opportunity to become involved in a world-wide ministry, another important factor confronted the Greencastle congregation. Because the request for ministerial leadership comes from the
Rev. Webb United Church of Christ of Japan, no funds of mission departments of the American churches is available for the task. Therefore, besides sharing the minister, members and friends of First Christian Church are also requested to support financially the total project in the Japanese center. Inasmuch as they will be nearly halfway around the world at the conclusion of the Japanese mission work, Rev. and Mrs. Webb will continue on to other nations before returning to Greencastle. A temporary itinerary includes visits to Formosa, Hong Kong, Thailand, In-
of the summer venture will be during the Webbs vacation period. Team ministers and their wives will leave San Francisco June 20, with the work in Japan to be completed August 17. Rev. and Mrs. Webb expect to be home in mid-September. During the absence of the minister, ministerial leadership of The First Christian Church will be carried by Rev. Frank G. Helme, D.D., associate minister of the church. Chairman of the General Board is Charles Poe. Hoodlum Must Leave Country WASHINGTON UPI — For longtime Chicago hoodlum Paul (The Waiter) Ricca, the word from the board of immigration appeals is “start packing.” The board Thursday denied the 68-year-old Ricca’s petition for reversal of a 1959 deportation order and rejected his plea that he would be subject to persecution if be was deported to Italy. Dicca, who entered the United States illegally in 1920, claimed in his appeal that he had not been given a fair hearing because of publicity about his criminal past, which stretches from the Capone era in Chicago to crime syndicates of the present.

Man Is Kept Alive By Artificial Heart
Kiwanians Hear 3 H.S. Seniors Lloyd Cooper introduced three seniors of Greencastle High School who spoke to the Kiwanis Club at the Thursday noon luncheon. Dick Dean discussed advantages and disadvantages of the primary system as it functions in the selection of candidates for political office. George Henry presented the meaning of the terms liberal and conservative and gave consideration of the historic role played by each in our recent history. Tom Scholl compared the various aspects of our system of free enterprise as related to socialism. and communism. These well presented talks were imformative and thought provoking. Dr. William Clary, assisted by Howard Youse, inducted Dale Shoup into Kiwanis membership. President, Arthur Shoe-’ maker welcomed Dale to the Club. Willard Singleton of Davis, California, was introduced as a guest of the club. Crack Communist Outfit Trapped SAIGON UPI—U. S. Leathernecks and government troops trapped a crack Communist battalion in a ring of death when artillery saturated the area with bombs and napalm, killing at least 257 during the first 24 hours of the fight Government officials said the Communists carted away and hid an estimated 200 more bodies. The Communists, believed to be North Vietnamese regulars and armed with unusually powerful weapons, were trying desperately to fight their way out of the encirclement in the rolling hills and rice paddies near Quang Ngai City about 335 miles north of Saigon. Not since the Marines and Vietnamese smashed a crack North Vietnamese-led force on almost the same battleground in Operation Texas two months ago has the recently slumbering war so burst into flames. More than 400 Viet cong were killed then.
DPU To Expand Overseas Study
Professors Hans Gnieninger and WiMiasn Fetrek will share responsibilities for tee development of an expanded overseas study and exchange program being considered at DePauw University. The enlarged participation in international study and alignment of personnel to implement it were announced today by President William E. Kerstetter. According to the anouncement. Dr. Petrek wiH undertake, beginning this September, a comprehensive study of a long-range overseas program. He wiS replace Dr. Gnieninger as director of international study in February, 1967, when heads DsPauw’e
FVeiburg semester project in Germany. Besides being foreign studies dfereotor, Dr. Grueninger has been DePauw’s foreign student adviser since 1937. He will continue in the latter role to direct the university’s program for foreign students on the DePauw campus. Dr. Kerstetter said he hopes “a very large number of DePauw students in their junior year will spend at least one semester overseas” with the increased emphasis placed on overseas work. DePauw presently sends about 25 students to Freiburg University in Germany for one iwmttw af atudy
pendent work. An additional 15-25 juniors spend the entire year at a number of different European universities. “This emphasis or aim (on foreign study),” the President said, “rests on the assumption that the new international nature of higher education is one of its most significant characteristics today.” He said '‘a man today and tomorrow is only half-baked educationally if he is acquainted only with our Western civilization, imperative though this is. We live in one world, and we must educate In terms of this inescapable fact.” Head of DePauw’s German •od Russian depszttnMkt since
1954 and & staff member since 1930, Dr. Grueninger has been an architect of and consultant to coSegiate exchange programs not only at DePauw but also across the United States. An exchange fellow at Northwestern University before his appointment at DePauw, the 64-year-old professor served seven years as executive secretary of the foreign student exchange programs of national fraternities in the United States. Dr. Petrek is an associate professor of philosophy and religion. On DePauw’s staff since 1962, he has studied in Belgium, Italy and France. He is 38 yean aid.

HOUSTON UPI —An otherwise doomed 65-year-old Illinois coal miner clung to life today, hds blood pumped through his arteries by a softball-sized artificial heart The artificial heart, beating 85 times a minute with a “thump-thump” somewhat louder than that of a human heart, took over most of the job of Marcel L. De Rudder’s own faltering heart. Dr. Michael DeBakey and his surgical staff spent the night in De Rudder’s room, their hopes for a historic medical breakthrough riding on every beat of
the pump.
DeBakey said the artificial heart, implanted about midway in the chest of De Rudder in a five-hour operation Thursday, had taken over 60 per cent of the work of 'the heart’s left ventricle. The left ventricle does 90 per cent of the work of bearing lifegiving blood to the
body.
The surgeons felt the pump, if it continued to keep De Rudder alive, would allow his battered heart to heal itself. The last medical report at 9:30 p. m., CST 10:30 p. m., EST Thursday said De Rudder “continues to follow a normal post operative course and exhibits no evidence of heart fail-
ure.”
DeBakey began the quest for an artificial heart some 16 years ago. Armed with $4.5 million grant and a blue-ribbon staff that included some of the world’s foremost heart specialists, DeBakey decided Thursday to try has device on De Rudder, a man doomed to die without
it.
Gets 1-5 Years Orlando Burden, 29, was sentenced Thursday by Judge Francis N. Hamilton to serve 1-5 years in the State Reformatory at Pendleton. Burden was found guilty of escaping from the Indiana State Farm at Putnamville by a jury in the Putnam Circuit Court Wednesday evening in a trial which started Tuesday. Judge Hamilton recommended that Burden serve three years of the five-year sentence. Now You Know By United Press International The first apartment house to be so called was built in 1869 in New York City.
The Board of Trustees at their last meeting reviewed visiting hours at the Putnam County Hospital, due to many complaints from patients. Nursing personnel, Administrative personnel, and Medical Staff. It was the feeling that it was unfortunate that these complaints stemmed from toe public failing to recognize that a person is hospitalized for rest and recuperation and extended visiting hours were tiring to the patient, and in addition visitors presence in toe room was exhausting to the other patient or patients in toe room. State fire marshal regulations permits toe hospital total number of patients, employees, and visitors above the ground floor because of fire exit capacities. Many visitors disregarded visiting hours completely not recognizing that their presence in the room may be disturbing to the patient they are visiting but also to other patients in the room. The following is one of several letters received by the hospital from patients. For sake of anonymity the patient’s name is not given but was a patient over a year ago, but it does sum up the general complaints toe hospital has received from patients. “Sir: As a rule I am not a fault finder, but do think you need to know this. I was a patient for 15 days from a gall stone operation in a two bed room. The two patients in toe room were lovely and obeyed your rules. The last (third) came in and she had one or two callers every forenoon besides husband, in the afternoon several callers and both nights several callers, on Sunday night there were 11 adults around her bed talking and smoking until lights flickered. I was exhausted and was glad when I left Monday morning. Everything was lovely until this happened. Nurses were kind, food good and served nicely, and everything kept clean. I just thought you should know. Sincerely yours,” The announced new visiting hours are: Medical and Surgical floors 2:00 p. m.-4:00 p. m. and 6:30 p. m.-7:30 p. m. Only 2 visitors permitted in toe room per patient. Maternity floors 2:00 p. m.-3:00 p. m. and 6:30 p. m.-7:30 p. m. Only 2 visitors per patient per visiting period. Critical patients—2 members of a critical patient’s family will be permitted to stay at all times with the patient and only one (1) will be permitted in toe room at a tame. Cricital patients families will be permitted to stay only upon written orders by the Doctor on the patient’s chart. (Continued on Page 2)
