Challenged WASHINGTON UPI — Catwoman, yes, but who’d ever think that Batman would be challenged by Eskimo Pie? Nevertheless, that’s what happened in U.S. District Court Wednesday when the National Periodical Publishers Inc., which owns the Batman trademark, filed suit charging that the makers of the ice cream product were giving away batrings without legal permission. The infringement suit contended that the batrings being given away by the Eskimo Pie Corp. were strikingly similar to the batman devices being used by a competing dairy product and top manufacturer licensed to use the symbol. The trademark owners said the Eskimo Pie promotion was “calculated” to create confusion in the minds of purchasers as to the sponsorship of the rings.

Historian Raps Kennedy Author NEW YORK UPI —Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., who wrote a best seller about the Kennedy presidency, Wednesday criticized William Manchester, author of the controversial “The Death of a President,” for including in his book intimate revelations made by Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy in taped interview. Schlesinger, a close friend of the late President, defended Mrs. Kennedy’s objections to certain passages in Manchester’s book in a speech before a meeting of the American Historical Association. “The relationship of a wife and her husband, even if he should have been president, and to their children, is a private matter of concern to the ultimate historian as Mrs. Kennedy recognized by undergoing the terrible ordeal of recording her memories of those tragic days, but it is not necessary to the historian writing in her lifetime,” Schlesinger said. On the legal front, a hearing date of Jan. 5 was set Wednesday on Mrs. Kennedy’s suit for a temporary injunction against the publication of Manchester’s book by Harper & Row. Syrians Kill Jordan Guard AMMAN, Jordan UPI — Jordan charged today that a Syrian army patrol crossed the border into Jordan and deliberately murdered a Jordanian security guard.

The statement said a threeman Syrian army patrol armed with light machineguns crossed 150 yards into Jordan to the house of Jordanian security Sgt. Faisal Mural and shot him to death when he answered the door. The patrol then returned to Syria. This is the first time regular Syrian soldiers have been accused of undertaking raids across the border into Jordan. The government of King Hussein earlier this month announced the arrest of three men they said infiltrated from Syria in an attempt to carry out sabotage.

Snow Replace$ Freezing Rain By United Prest International Snow flurries replaced freezing rain in much of Indiana today but the weatherman indicated no additional significant accumulations were expected at this time. South Bend reported a 4-inch snow cover this morning and Fort Wayne had an inch. Then it tapered off to a trace at Lafayette, Indianapolis and points south. However, the early-morning weather synopsis for Indiana said some heavier snow squalls were possible in the northern portions “as northwesterly winds begin to flow over Lake Michigan later today.” Continued drifting and blowing of snow was anticipated through upstate regions before the wind diminishes tonight. Meanwhile, it was seasonable cold throughout the state, in contrast to Wednesday’s highs which reached 51 in the Louisville area, 49 in Evansville and 48 at Cincinnati. Overnight lows slipped to 21 at Evansville and Chicago, 22 at Fort Wayne and 23 at South Bend, Indianapolis and Cincin-

nati.

For the second day in a row, moderate to heavy rainfall was measured for the period ending at 7 a. m. Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Cincinnati got more than a third of an inch, South Bend nearly one-fourth of an inch. Light snow and blowing snow was reported this morning and highways ranged from normal to slick in spots north and central to normal downstate. Afternoon highs today were not expected to climb higher than the mid-20s in the Far North to the upper 20s south and lows tonight may plunge close to zero upstate and to the teens elsewhere. Indiana Traffic Toll Now 1,549 The 1966 Indiana traffic toll, which sets a record with each new death, stood today at least at 1,549, compared with 1,516 for all of last year.

Foreign News Commentary

(By PHIL NEWSOM) UPI Foreign News Analyst Close by the forbidding peaks of the Himalayas, along the unmarked borders with Tibet and Nepal, lies Uttar Pradesh, the home state of India’s premier, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. Next to it is the state of Bihar. Total population of the two is close to 100 million. Under normal conditions, with ample rainfall, irrigation and double cropping, both are important producers of rice, wheat, barley and other grains. Uttar Pradesh is India’s chief producer of sugar. Bihar is rich in minerals. But both have been stricken by drought and among children there already are the shrunken limbs and the distended bellies which mark starvation. By the end of 1967, it is feared that thousEinds will die Last spring millions went hungry in the nearby states of Orissa and Madhya Pradesh. In this season when Christians exchange gifts and presumably turn their thoughts toward peace and good will, neither a war nor starvation make pleasant subjects. The season made it fitting, then, that just before Christmas the United States should announce it was shipping to India 900,000 tons of wheat and sorghum in emergency aid. Unfortunately for those al-

A Local Teenager's View By JANET STAUB With the arrival of the new year and the passing of the old year many people will be getting together to celebrate. Among other things, games will be played. “Rebus” is a word game in which the placement or size of numbers, letters, or words indicates names, phrases, or other words. A rebus can also have pictures, or words and pictures. For example, a picture of an eye, followed by “CA,”’ followed by a picture of a dog, could stand for “I see a dog.” Another game is “Trivia.” One of the most popular ways of playing this game is to divide into teams. The narrator asks a team a question like: “What was Roy Rogers’ friend, Pat’s, jeep’s name?” Or, “How Many Lassies have there been?” For the more athletic, try putting a pie plate with an orange or some round unbreakable object in it on your head and try to pick a kleenex off the floor with your teeth without losing the pie plate. A “game” which is played often on holidays is “Become a Statistic.” Of course, to be the winner, a person is really a loser, as the statistic is only a number in the total killed on the roads of the nation. BY THE WAY: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ready on the verge of starvation, it may arrive too late. It normally takes four weeks to get the grain to U.S. ports and four more to reach India. It has been a bad year for India, perhaps the worst in its 20 years of independence. Despite the shipment of nine million tons of grain from the United States’ own dwindling stores, food riots were commonplace throughout 1966. For Mrs. Gandhi, too, it has been a rough year. When she bowed to pressures from abroad that she devalue the rupee and open the doors to foreign investment in fertilizer plants, far left-wing Socialists in her Congress party accused her of selling out to the United States. So far, the devaluation has not helped India’s economic position and the cost of living has increased steadily. The nation’s fourth five-year plan should have gone into effect in April, 1966, but has not done so even yet, partly because some Western nations have not come through with promised aid. In February, 1967, India holds national elections. It is agreed that the ruling Congress party which has governed India since the beginning, will return to office. But only because there Is nothing else to take its place.
