Fire Precaution Is Urged By City Fire Department

The week of October 9th has been set aside throughout the United States, to honor the fire service and its efforts to protect the lives and property of our citizens. The members of the Greencastle Fire Deptartment therefore take this opportunity to encourage the individual to practice fire prevention in his home and at his place of employment by using the following suggestions for fire inspections: 1. Check heating plants, especially smoke pipe and chimney. 2. Check fuel lines and valves for leakage. 3. Clean basement and storage areas, remove trash, etc. 4. Remove paints, varnishes and flammable liquids from area around or near heating plant. 5. Check all exposed electrical wiring, remove frayed or damaged appliance and extension cords. 6. Provide ash trays and safe, ty matches in areas used for smoking. 7. Insist on safe smoking habits, no smoking in bed, etc. 8. Have at least one fire extinguisher in the house. 9. Have the Fire Dept, phone number posted near the telephone. If these basic rules are observed, you will probably not become a Fire Department customer in the future. Two Programs Are Scheduled The sounds of the "We Five" and the silence of pantomime capture the entertainment scene at DePauw University this weekend.

House Approves 'Pork Barrel' Bill WASHINGTON UPI — Ignoring a final plea for economy, the House gave final approval Tuesday to a compromise $4.1 billion "pork barrell, appropriation for public works. Quick Senate approval was expected, clearing the way for the bill to go to the White House. It included funds for atomic energy, river, harbor, flood and irrigation projects. The compromise reached by House-Senate conferees was $191 million under last year’s appropriation, $32 million under President Johnson’s budget request for fiscal 1967 and $5 million under a version passed in the Senate. However, the compromise was $23 million more than originally passed in the House which prompted Republican calls for economy cuts. They were disregarded.

Rock Island RR Is Strikebound CHICAGO UPI—An estimated 2,500 switchmen walked off their jobs Tuesday night, tying up all traffic on the 8,000-mile-long Rock Island Lines Railroad. A Rock Island spokesman, Ted Zirbes, said today that the road had obtained a temporary restraining order from federal Judge Joseph Sam Perry in Chicago. The order, Zirbes said, would be served on several officers of the striking union and would restrain them from continuing the strike until Oct. 22 at which time a hearing would be held. The sudden strike at 10 p.m. EDT took company and some union members by surprise. Trains were suddenly pushed off to siding from St. Paul, Minn., to Tucumcari, N.M., stranding passengers and freight. The shutdown forced an estimated 14,000 Chicago area commuters to look for other ways to get to work today from their homes south and west of the city. Brisk Weather Across Nation Sy United Press International Autumn leaves, which inspire poetry and sometimes leafraking, fell across most of the nation in clear, brisk weather today. A little rain dampened the Pacific Northwest, Texas and a stretch from the Great Lakes to the Appalachians. It was cool in the East and Midwest, Some snow fell in the North Atlantic states. Jack Frost was expected to lay his icy coat across the Midwest to the Carolinas at dawn and disappear behind warm, southerly breezes. Early morning temperatures ranged from 27 at Ribbing, Minn., to 80 at Corpus Christi Tex. Naval Air Station.

SAIGON UPI—Defense Secretary Robert McNamara flew into one of the war’s hottest battlefields on the central coast today to learn first hand from American GIs what is needed to win the conflict. The khaki-clad Pentagon chief flew into Phu Cat where the U.S. 1st Air Cavalry Division’s “Operation Irving” is spearheading an Allied sweep that has killed or captured more than 2,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong in the past three weeks. His helicopter, heavily guarded by accompanying gunships, touched down only 20 miles from where a Flying Horseman unit Tuesday discovered a jungle prison camp. Fleeing North Vietnamese guards had manacled 18 prisoners together, tossed them into a pit and massacred 12 with machine gun bursts and hand grenades. Seven somehow managed to escape, although all were wounded. McNamara spent about an hour at Phu Cat, about 290 miles northeast of Saigon, before flying north of Da Nang, headquarters for U.S. Marines opertaing along the demilitarized zone—the war’s other hotspot. Communist North Viet Nam took note of McNamara’s visit today by filing an official note of protest to the International Control Commission. “As is well known, each visit of McNamara to Saigon is al(Continued on Page 2)

Four Killed

MANILA UPI — Four children were killed in a rural village when a hand grenade they found exploded, the Philippine New* Service reported Tuesday.

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Executive secretary Carl A. Zenor of the Indiana Sesquicentennial Commission said today his resignation was a combination of “being pushed and jumping.” The news of Zenor's “resignation” was released belatedly late Monday with a routine telephone call from Mrs. Linda Gates Vandivier, director of information for the commission. The news release in the name of chairman Donald F. Carmony, Bloomington, made no mention of any conflict preceding the departure of Zenor, effective Dec. 14. However, other members of the commission who attended the Saturday meeting said the vote was 8-5 to accept the resignation of Zenor. State Rep. Arthur C. Hayes, R-Fort Wayne, issued a letter Tuesday demanding that Carmony resign. "The chairman of the sesquicentennial commission, using the name of Governor Branigin, has forced the executive director to resign,” Hayes charged in his letter. “ In my opinion, the chairman used bigoted and small excuses to force out a fine young man, who has dedicated his time and energy unselfishly to the State of Indi-

ana.”

“I hereby call on the chairman to resign as chairman and Governor Branigin to repudiate a man who would betray the great State of Indiana,” Hayes

wrote.

The Fort Wayne lawmaker also raised the question of whether the acceptance of Zenor’s resignation was legal since the commission has 30 members and only 14 were present, not a quorum. But Zenor, from his home in Bainbridge, said "I handed in my resignation in the feeling it would be accepted. My concern is this discord doesn’t adversely affect the sesquicentennial pro gram. I think the program has been very successful, although I am a little prejudiced, per-

haps.”

Zenor is an Indianapolis history teacher on leave to administer Indiana’s 150th birthday celebration, which comes to an official close Dec. 11. Carmony is an Indiana University history professor. He declined comment on the letter written by Hayes. Now You Know ty United Pre»* International Hie tailless barbary ape of Gibraltar is the only European monkey, according to Collier’s Encyclopedia.

Advancing inflation and continuing increases in educational and living costs were pinpointed as reasons for $100 increases in both tuition and room and board charges announced by DePauw University this weekend. The action was taken Friday (Oct 7) by the university’s Joint Board of Trustees and

Visitors.

The Board also voted a $40,000 addition to university scholarship funds to help students in serious financial need. Both decisions are to become effective in September, 1967. Tuition at DePauw next year will be $1,600. Fees of $150 will remain unchanged. The tuition increase will apply to all students enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Nursing and the School of Music. Slightly different charges apply to student nurses spending their last two years off campus. Room and board next year at DePauw will be $1,000, or approximately $111 monthly over a nine month period. Current room and board charges of $900 have remained unchanged since

1962.

“No one applauds increases in charges, but all institutions must meet the costs of education,” President William E. Kerstetter said. "Nor do trustees relish making such decisions. But as has been the case for many years at DePauw and elsewhere, the Board had absolutely no alternative short of sacrificing educational quality, which DePauw is not prepared to do. "DePauw aims at continued excellence, and thus must meet financial requirements — requirements over which no single university or even all universities in time of Inflation really can exercise control. The chief factors demanding attention are the costs of living and faculty and staff salaries.’* Astronaut In Spanish Mishap MADRID UPI — U.S. astronaut Charles (Pete) Conrad and three other Americans helped rescue nine Spaniards injured Tuesday when a light plane crashed into a truck filled with workmen. One Spanish worker was killed in the mishap. No Americans were hurt, but Conrad said at one point he had to keep the three U.S. officials with him from approaching the aircraft because “it was in danger of exploding.” The light training aircraft crashed into a truck loaded with workmen and parked about 400 yards from the car carrying Conrad and the U.S. officials to a U.S. tracking station at Robledo, about 30 miles from Ma-

drid.

With Conrad were Bill Simonson, the Madrid Embassy’s political officer; Paul Haney, public affairs director at the Houston space center, and Otto Womack, a NASA offical in charge of the Apollo project.
