Britian Faces Threat Of Bankruptcy Says Hartke

WASHINGTON UPI — Sen. Vance Hartke, D-Ind., said Friday that British Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s latest visit points up the failure of “selfdefeating” U. S. monetary policies and shows that Britain faces the threat of bankruptcy. Hartke, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, said in a speech prepared for Senate delivery that “it is bankruptcy that threatens the free world. The unmistakable signs have been seen in Britain.” He said “U. S. monetary policy, which has produced unprecedentedly high interest rates at home, has contributed to the international interest rate war and has helped provoke the current crisis in Britain.” Hartke said that “our domestic monetary policy has fostered an unprecedented interest rate war among savings institutions at home and precipitated a global interest rate war among nations.” It began, he said, when “the administration moved to restrict the flow of new dollars abroad last year” because this “threatened the maintenance of the U. S. trade surplus.” “Too great a restriction on the outflow of dollars in a misguided effort to over-solve our balance of payments problem could have a disastrous impact upon the rest of the world, above all upon Britain,” Hartke said. Britain has been so hard hit, Hartke said, that “the only alternative to devaluation of the pound has been seen to be savage economic restrictions and the deliberate promotion of unemployment in Britain.” Recent austerity measures, and Wilson’s visit, he said, show that “in simple terms, the British government has determined that its only hope for avoiding devaluation is to create unemployment,” Find Skull Of Prehistoric Man MOSCOW UPI—The petrified fragment of the skull of a man who lived perhaps 40,000 years ago has been unearthed near the ancient city of Samarkand in central Asia, the Soviet News Agency Tass reported Friday. Uzbek archeologist David Lev said the skull fragment, which includes ten well-preserved teeth, “definitely are remains of Cro-Magnons, whose habitation places have been traced to central Asia, for the first time, Tass said. Lev, who has been studying the culture of ancient peoples in Asia for more than 40 years, heads an expedition of the Soviet National Academy of Sciences exploring a large site under excavation for many years. The skull is the second find of human remains at the CroMagnon living site being excavated near Samarkand. The earlier discovery of human bone fragments was made about four years ago. Academy Gets Roberts' Estate CULVER UPI—Culver Military Academy revealed Friday that Walter G. Roberts, assistant dean at the academy for 30 years until his death last April, left an estate valued at $180,000 to the school. Roberts bequeathed cash, securities, personal property and his $25,000 home adjacent to the campus to Culver and officials said the estate would be placed in an endowed Walter G. Roberts Memorial Scholarship Fund. 20 Years Ago Miss Doris Jean Houck was attending radio television school in Omaha, Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Poynter and family were vacationing At Lake Wawasee. Miss Louise Knauer was visiting in Columbia, Missouri. Miss Mary Ann Newgent left for Los Angeles, Calif., to resume her duties at stewardess with the American Airlines.

Debris May Be From Missing Pacific Plane

Lois Leatherman, who is with the Federal Land Bank Asociation of Greencastle, will attend a training conference at Louisville August 9 and 10. She will study along with representatives of 78 other Land Bank associations from Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. Three nationally known business women from the Dartnell Corporation and the Metropolitan School of Business of Chicago have been employed to assist at the Conference. Mrs. Leatherman has been with the Federal Land Bank Association since 1962. She is a native of Green Township, Parke County. Her husband and son farm some 350 acres there. The Federal Land Bank is a nationwide farm and part time farm lending institution. It is large enough to meet the ever increasing credit needs of the American farmer. Yet the Land Bank is made up of individuals such as Lois Leatherman, who are concerned about the needs of their friends and neighbors.

Reapportion Is Court's Order NEW ORLEANS UPI — A three-judge federal court has ordered both houses of the Louisiana legislature to reapportion on a one-man, one-vote basis by Jan. 1, and threatened “at-large” elections for the entire state.

Circuit Judge John Minor Wiscom, speaking for the threejudge court, said: “Unless the legislature adopts and submits a constitutionally satisfactory plan by Jan. 11 1967, they must run at-large in subsequent elections. He said this would hold even if a plan is submitted after Jan.

1.

Wiscom said if one house of the legislature adopts a plan and the other does not, then both houses must run at-large. He also said a Louisiana state law requiring each parish—or county—and each ward in New Orleans to have one representative would not be allowed in the plan for the house of representatives. Atty. Gen. Jack Gremillion argued before the court issued its order that the house should not be required to reapportion, because it was reapportioned in a 1963 special session on the basis of the 1966 federal census. But the court said the legislative action in 1963 was not a true reapportionment, simply a reallocation of 25 seats.

Beware Of Dog CHATSWORTH, England — UPI—Poachers beware! Sabre, a German shepherd that patrols the grounds of a mansion house here, has been taught to grab poachers by the collars and fling them into the river that runs alongside the property.

SAN FRANCISCO UPI—The search for the DCS carrying Brig. Gen. Joseph Stilwell was prolonged today because debris was spotted in the area of the Pacific where his plane disappeared six days ago. The 311-foot cutter Dexter was criss-crossing the area while a four-engine C130 flew overhead. The cutter Taney also was watching for signs of the missing plane as it slowly headed back for port. The debris, what appeared to be a piece of orange wood between five and 10 feet long, was spotted from the air late Friday—just four hours before the search was to be abandoned. Because of the sighting, a Coast Guard spokesman said here, the search would be continued until this evening at which time the situation would be reassessed. The spokesman said the possibility that the wood came from Stilwell’s plane was not ruled out. The sighting took place about 400 miles southwest of here. The search plane dropped two smoke bombs in the area to aid the search for the debris. The twin-engine plane carrying Stilwell and two friends disappeared Sunday while on a flight from San Francisco to Honolulu. The craft was last reported 550 miles southwest of

here.

Stilwell, 54, son of World War n commander “Vinegar” Joe Stilwell, was copilot Harold J. Grimes, 45, of Pacific Palisades, Calif., was the pilot and Harold Fossum, 43, of Montclair, Calif., was navigator. The plane was being ferried over-

seas.

Indiana-Made Bowl Are Gifts INDIANAPOLIS UPI —Governor Branigin is sending Indi-ana-made metal bowls as gifts to the governors of the other 49 states and four island possessions to reciprocate for presents many of them distributed at Governors Conferences in the

past

Branigin’s office said the small bowls, made by Dirilyte Co., Kokomo, are decorated with the state seal and a replica of Branigin’s signature. The announcement said the bowls and the postage for mailing them would be paid by the Democratic State Central Committee and no tax funds would be used.

Bomb No-Man s Land

SAIGON UPI — American heavy bombers struck Communist positions today in the Demilitarized Zone DMZ between North and South Viet Nam, U. S. spokesman announced. It was the first time U. S. planes intentionally hit the international no-man’s land. American officials also reported that Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps bombers flew 100 missions over the Communist North Friday and struck 10 oil depots through a barrage of antiaircraft fire. One Navy plane

was shot down and its pilot was listed as missing. Giant U. S. Air Force B52 Stratofortresses stages today’s “moderate sized” raid on North Vietnamese military posts, gun positions and troop concentrations located in the DMZ. The attacks were made in support of the two-week-old “Operation Hastings,” the giant U. S. Marine sweep just south of the DMZ that has already claimed an estimated 1,500 Communist slain.

Two Accidents Occur Hear City Sheriff Kenneth Knauer investigated a traffic accident four miles southwest of Greencastle at 7 p. m. Friday. Vehicles involved were a 1962 Rambler driven by Mrs. Wanda Miller, 33, Greencastle, Route 1, and a 1962 Corvette driven by Louis See, 17, city. Mrs. Miller complained of neck injuries and was taken to the Putnam County Hospital. Knauer estimated the damage at $150 to each automobile. State police reported that another traffic accident occurred at Mt. Meridian, on U. S. 40, at 1 o’clock this morning. Trooper Tom Underwood reported that a 1961 Chevrolet being driven by a young Michigan couple left the pavement and went over an embankment. Lyman Stewart and Marcia Stewart, both 19, of 705 West Hamilton, Flint, Mich., were admitted to the Putnam County Hospital following the accident Airline Strike Finally Settled WASHINGTON UPI — The threat of compulsory arbitration

A $100,000 endowed scholarship honoring the editor of The Chicago Tribune has been established at DePauw Univer-

sity.

Announcement of the scholarship, which will carry the name of W. D. Maxwell, DePauw alumnus and editor of The Tribune since 1955, was made today by President William E. Kerstetter. The donor of the gift, Dr. Kerstetter revealed, is Col. Henry Crown, Chicago businessman and a close friend and admirer of Mr. Maxwell and DePauw University. The first scholarships available under the gift will be awarded to members of the freshman class due to enroll at DePauw in September. A unique feature of the new fund is that the donor has requested, with concurrence of Maxwell and DePauw, that the awards go to deserving “B” students “who rarely have scholarships available to them.” Commenting on the scholarship fund established in his name, The Tribune editor said, “Of course I am honored by Colonel Crown’s making this contribution to the students of DePauw University in my name. “I am hopeful that the idea of extending scholarships to worthy' students regardless of their high school grades will prove successful. It has been my

by the Johnson administration were keys to the airline strike settlement, it appeared today. It was the threat Congress might bring the five airlines involved and the International Association of Machinists to compulsory arbitration that led ultimately to White House intervention. And it was in the White House that the man who makes policy and can change it— President Johnson — took an active hand in the negotiations between the union and the airlines: Trans World, United, Eastern, National and Northwest. Sources said that the settlement reached in 26 hours of talks that began Thursday and ended Friday night involved at least these concessions by the administration: —Allowing the wage and benefit package for the IAM to exceed administration guidelines for non-inflationary settlements, thus sending union leaders to their members with a sizable wage increase. —Provisions for some re-ex-amination of policy on the lowering of air fares in light of unparalleled prosperity among the carriers. The government controls the fare levels. If they are kept at or near present levels, the cost of a new contract— given continued growth—would be easier to carry. Sources, said these were policy decision which could only be made at the White House, which until Congress threatened compulsory arbitration, had sought to stay with the recommendations of a special presidential emergency board. Bomb Disarmed SAIGON UPI — DemoliUon experts Friday dismantled a 14pound plastic bomb minutes before it was set to go oft in front of a house occupied by U. S. soldiers in nearby Gia, police said today. Know You Know The first secretary of the ininterior was Thomas Ewing who assumed the post shortly after it was established in 1849 under the administration of Zachary Taylor.

who have high scholarship rating in early years are not as effective in contributing towards society as some who, by hard work and a real desire for knowledge, enter college with lower grades and finish with good ones. “DePauw University, which is one of the really great liberal arts universities in the United States, should offer a fine testing ground for this theory.” A Greencastle native and former editor of DePauw's campus newspaper, Maxwell worked on papers in Indianapolis and Cleveland before joining the Tribune in 1920 as a reporter.

Costly Walk

FANOE, Denmark UPI—A young married couple parked their car along the beach here Friday and went for a stroll. When they returned, high tide had come in and washed the car one mile out to sea. A rescue party failed to retrieve it. Rain Wanted CLAYTON, N. M. UPI — The following advertisement appeared in the Clayton Union County Leader this week: “Wanted: Immediately, a slow falling two-inch rain, to be evenly spread over the entire area ...” The ad was signed:

“Everyone.”

The 1966 Putnam County Fair is nearly ready to go. 4-H projects such as electricity, forestry, soil conservation, photography, etc., were entered this morning. Judging took place Friday and today. Projects that girls normally take were judged at community judging and will be entered today. Garden and flower projects will be entered and judged Tuesday August 2. The 4-H Building will be open to the public Monday, August 1. Come out and see the 4-H and open class exhibits. Members have spent a lot of time and effort on their projects. You may get some ideas on something you can fix for yourself. We have one new project. It is the study of weather. Members learn about “why’s” and “causes” of the nature of our weather. Weather study and forecasts is becoming a part of our everyday planning. When to cut hay? When to plan a picnic? When to go camping? You can think of several other reasons why you can use information on our weather patterns. You can listen or watch the weather report, but do you understand what the weatherman puts on his chart. The weather project can be found in the poster section of the 4-H Building. There won’t be very many weather exhibits, but the enrolment in this project will grow in future years. 4-H members and parents and people of Putnam County should give the Fair Board members a word of thanks for putting on the 1966 Fair. The members will be the first to admit that there could be improvement, but you will have to admit that it is a fairly good county fair, because you are the people that make it The Fair Board members volunteer a lot of time to make the fair possible. Give them your support. Three Runs Made By City Firemen Three runs were made by the city firemen Friday afternoon and early this morning. At 1 p.m. Friday the firemen were called to the Voncastle Theater on East Washington Street. They reported an electric motor was smoking. At 1:33 p.m. Friday, the township truck was called to the Norman Tirsway residence, 1569 South Bloomington Street, when a garden tractor caught

fire.

At 5:05 this morning, the firemen made a run to Commercial Place when the crankcase on a diesel engine exploded on a Pennsylvania Railroad freight train.

Health Director INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Dr. John R. Gambill, Indianapol^p, will take office Monday as acting state mental health commissioner.
