Zink Bequest Cools Greencastle Library
The Greencastle - Putnam County Library is very pleased to announce that two airconditioner units were recently installed at the library. 20 Years Age Harold Reckley and Billy Eiteljorge were vactioning in Wisconsin. The Home and Child Study Club held its annual family picnic at Robe-Ann Park. Mrs. Glenn Lyon was hostess to the Present Day Club.
A large part of the cost of this airconditioning came from a gift made to the Public Library by the will of the late Edward Zink of Indianapolis. Mr. Zink was a former student at DePauw University and after leaving the University, he became a salesman for the Eli Lilly Company. At his death in 1957, he left a bequest to the Greencastle Public Library.

Vincennes To Host Johnson On Saturday VINCENNES, UPI —President Johnson was scheduled to arrive in Vincennes Saturday afternoon to sign a bill creating a national monument here. After a day of rumors and speculation that the President might visit Indiana, Vincennes Officials Tuesday night received word from Rep. Winfield K. Denton, D-Ind., that the President would arrive at the Vin-cennes-Lawrenceville Airport at 5:10 p.m. Saturday. Officials said Johnson would arrive at Indianapolis at 11:50 a.m., Saturday, then fly to Fort Campbell, Ky., before making the trip to Vincennes. The President last visited Indiana in 1965, following the Palm Sunday tornadoes that killed 140 persons. Earlier this year he had indicated he planned a trip to the Hoosier state sometime in 1966 to help Indiana celebrate its sesquincentennial. Rumors spread quickly Tuesday that Johnson was considering a trip to Indiana this weekend. The Evansville Press said Vincennes would probably be one of the stops on the trip, where Johnson would sign a bill recently passed by Congress making a national monument out of the George Rogers Clark Memorial. The newspaper said Secret Service men had visited the Vincennes Airport, checking the runways and roads into the city. Vincennes was the first capital of the Indiana Territory. Marines Kill Over 900 Cong SAIGON UPI — U.S. Marine commanders said today the Communist death toll in Operation Hastings, the biggest Leatherneck battle of the war, now was estimated at more than 900. Another 1,500 Marines today were thrown into the jungle fighting in the strategic northwest corner of South Viet Nam. Lt. Gen. Lewis C. Walt, commanding general of the 3rd Marine Amphibious Force, said casualty reports from the scene, just below the 17th parallel, showed 352 Communist dead by body count and another 549 North Vietnamese as “probable” kills. The 1st Battalion of the 1st Marine Regiment joined some 10,000 other Leatherneck and South Vietnamese troops who have been sweeping a vast area of mountain jungles since last Friday. Walt said the campaign would “continue for a long time.”

The auto belongs to Raymond Taylor, not related to the fugitive. Taylor was taken into custody by Shumaker after a chase and was then lodged in the Owen County jail at Spencer. Police said Taylor was serving a term on a charge of entering to commit a felony. Douglas Quiet As To Criticism GOOSE PRAIRIE, Wash. UPI—Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas had no comment on congressional criticism on his fourth marriage, but he had plenty to say regarding his application to visit Red China. Douglas, who is honeymooning at his secluded Cascade Mountains ranch here with his 23-year-old bride, the former Cathleen Curran Heffeman of Porland, Ore. Both declined comment on a resolution Monday by a group of congressmen seeking to have the House Judiciary Committee investigate the “moral character” of Douglas. Regarding his application to the State Department for permission to go to China, Douglas said he had wanted to visit there since his trip to the Far East in 1950. “This has not been a popular thing,” he said, “but now more and more people are beginning to realize that it is necessary. “If we go, it will be symbolic of the kind of thing I think all Americans should be able to do.” He added that he thought Chinese should be able to visit the United States.

Putnam County Farm Bureau members participated in their new political action program Saturday evening at the Commumty Building when they were host to twenty-eight political candidates. Tom Mont introduced the Republican candidates and the Democrat candidates were introduced by Raymond Ader. Morris Evens, County Farm Bureau President, presided and welcomed approximately one hundred twenty-five members, candidates and guests. Special music was furnished by two boys, Mike Whitlock and Doug Hedge, known as “The Thinkers,” from Bainbridge. Meredith Kincaid, Farm Bureau district fieldman, introduced the four speakers: District 7 U. S. House candidates; John T. Myers, Republican; Eldon C. Tipton, Democrat; and candidate for Indiana Senate; James M. Kirtley, Democrat; and Joseph W. Harrison, Republican. Also introduced were the district Farm Bureau Directors, Marion Cowan and Mrs. Mable Herbert, District Farm Bureau Women’s Leader.

Fry and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rollings. Young, Collins Solve Pesky Space Problems SPACE CENTER, Houston UPI — John Young and Mike Collins, another of their pesky little problems solved, swept on today toward another American space walk and possible rendezvous with a .'eftover Satellite. If all went well, Collins was to climb out of Gemini 10 at around 6.56 p. m. EDT and “zot” himseli around at the end of a 50-foot tether, using a hand-held jet gun. Hopefully, this would occur while the spacecraft was flying formation with Agena 8, with which astronauts Neil Armstrong and David Scott docked on March 16. The astronauts were breathing nice clean air again after a bout with “space smog” — a chemical which somehow leaked out of their “atmosphere” system. But there still was a question as to whether sufficient steering fuel remained aboard Gemini 10 to carry out both the space walk and the rendezvous. If things go by' the book, this flight that started from Cape Kennedy Monday afternoon will terminate with a splashdown in the Atlantic Thursday afternoon. Death Row Pastor LUBOCK, Tex. UPI—James Lee Marion, 22, a death row prisoner awaiting execution for the murder of a housewife, will be baptized and ordained July 31 as a minister of the Church of God in Christ. Pope Appeals CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy UPI—Pope Paul VI today “ardently and respectfully” urged North Vietnamese leaders to spare American prisoners and thus avert “still worse evils” for the world. The pontiff made his appeal in an address at his weekly general audience at his summer residence here.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. UPI — Group of Negroe youths threw rocks and molotov cocktails at cars and windows for the second night in a row Tuesday. The new violence started despite promises from the city officials for action on civil rights grievances and efforts of Negro leaders to restore calm. Police reported at least 12 Negroes, most of them teenagers, were arrested for rockthrowing. At least three molotov cocktails were thrown, officers said. Two stores were damaged in the Negro section of the city. Police Sgt. James Lowe said the violence “followed the general pattern of Monday night— there were isolated cases or two, three or four people throwing rocks at cars and at an occasional window.” Lowe said reports of such incidents died out shortly after midnight Tuesday, as they had Monday night. He said he had received “several” reports of molotov cocktails being thrown, two of them involving stores. One burned an awning on a store owned by a white man. The other smashed a plate glass window, Lowe said. The only injury reported was to a teen-age white girl who was cut on the leg by flying glass when a rock was thrown through a car window. Student Nurse Identifies Killer CHICAGO UPI — Corazon Amurao needed all the courage she could muster. Dressed in her starched white nursing uniform, she stepped into the hospital room with two other nurses and a doctor. The room was deathly still. On the bed lay Richard Franklin Speck, the man accused of slaughtering eight of Miss Amurao’s fellow student nurses during a night of horror in their apartment last week. She was the only one to survive. For five minutes, the doctor bent over the hospital bed and talked to Richard Speck. And for five minutes, Corazon Amurao stood by the doctor’s side and a little behind him. She said nothing. Later, when they had left the room and Speck was alone once more, Miss Amurao turned to a police official and said simply: “That is the man.” That was the story told today by police sources of the dramatic confrontation between the man accused of Chicago’s worst mass murder and the only person to live through it. Speck reportedly gave no indication he recognized Miss Amurao. The young Filipino exchange student was returned to her own hospital bed at South Chicago Community Hospital and placed under sedation. Despite her show of courage and composure, it had been an ordeal.
CLEVELAND UPI — Heavily armed National Guardsmen today occupied the city’s riottorn East Side where two persons were shot to death in two nights of racial turmoil. The troops restored an uneasy calm to the four-squaro-mile riot area. About 650 guardsmen patrolled the streets in jeeps and took up positions on street corners in the embattled Hough section. Col. Robert Canterbury, commanding officer of the 107 th Armored Cavalry Regiment said another 600 troops were being held in reserve for relief during the daylight hours. A Negro man was shot to death Tuesday night and two others were wounded as violence flared anew in the slumriddled, predominantly Negro district. Negro gangs roamed the streets tossirg fire bombs and police and snipers exchanged gunfire. Continued looting also was reported but a policeman said “there isn’t much left there to loot.” More than 83 persons were arrested Tuesday night, bringing the two-day total to more than 125. Police said the latest outbreaks began when a white tavern keeper refused to serve a Negro a glass of water. Percy Giles, 38, was killed Tuesday night when struck in the head when a sniper opened fire on police. Monday night a Negro woman was shot to death, numerous builuings were set afire and looted, and two Negro men were wounded. The two nights of racial unrest were the worst ever in this city of one million persons that has been sitting atop a racial powder keg for the past few years. Burglar Killed By Policeman INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A burglar suspect was shot and killed by a policeman Tuesday night but his alleged companion escaped. Patrolman Edward Byrd, called to an Indiana Bell Telephone Co. supplies compound, spotted two men inside the fence, in front of the building. He said he fired two warning shots and when they failed to halt he fired three times more. A man identified as Lorenzo Williams, 44, father of nine children, was dead on arrival at a hospital. He had two bullet wounds in the leg and another in his side. The second suspect got away. Police said the telephone utility had trouble recently from thieves who took valuable materials including copper wire from the compound and had hired private guards to protect the property.
