Guam Sessions End On Tough, Confident Note
Dairy Farmers Face Law Suit, Probe By FBI By United Press International
Miss Cook District Winner In Art Workshop Contest
Council Meets
Militant dairy farmers, attempting to force a 2 cent a quart increase in the price they get for milk, today face a $1 million law suit and an FBI investigation in their efforts to withhold milk from market. The 25-state action by the National Farmers Organization has led to outbursts of shooting, dynamiting and other violence since its beginning last Thursday. It has prompted warnings from state officials and threatens to create an artificial increase in the price of milk by the time it reaches the
housewife.
In Western Pennsylvania today state police continued their escort of milk rigs to receiving stations. During the weekend several trucks were stopped and their contents dumped. One Eastern Pennsylvania spokesman said at least 21 dairy cows had been sold for
slaughter.
The Michigan Milk Producers Association Monday filed a $1 million suit against the NFO, charging the NFO with conspiring and attempting to interfere with the MMPA efforts to market the fluid milk. NFO president Oren Lee Staley said he had no knowledge of the suit or of others reportedly being processed for court action, but added that Michigan farmers were "amazed” that some groups, such as the MMPA, are fight(Continued on Page 3)
Four Appeared Before Hamilton In action in the Putnam Circuit Court Monday, Millard Gibson, 33, Cloverdale, Route 3, pleaded guilty when arraigned to a charge of non-support of minor children. Judge Francis N. Hamilton ordered a pre-sentence investigation. William E. Taylor, 39, Shoals, pleaded guilty to public intoxication and false registration. He was fined $25 and costs on each count and his car was ordered held in storage until he could prove to state police that he had a valid registration. Two inmates of the Rockville Youth Camp, who escaped last Tuesday, pleaded guilty. Ronnie Eugene Buster, 16, Windfall, and Charles E. Richards, 17, Tipton, were each serving time for auto theft. Judge Hamilton sentenced
Greencastle city councilmen accepted a bid from the FirstCitizens and Central National Banks in the amount of $135,100 for the purchase of parking facilities revenue bonds at a special meeting held in the City Hall last night. The bid was the only one submitted and met the approval of the Council pending an approval of the Board fo Public Works and Safety. The city’s fiscal agent told councilmen that since the bonds were for such a small issue and had odd lot maturities they did not have enough drawing power for the large investment agencies. With a larger sum the city might have been able to draw more competitive bidding. Taxpayers can rest their thoughts about pay hikes today since the Council voted themselves and other elected city officials the same salary that they have been receiving in the past. If the Council wished to change their salaries or any of
them to serve 1-5 years in the | those of the elected city offi-
Indiana State Reformatory at Pendleton. . Spring Arrived This Morning By United Press International Spring, heralded in song and verse as a time for budding flowers and first thoughts of love, was ushered in today by deep snow, freezing cold and
storms.
Spring arrived at 2:37 EST this morning but winter failed
to leave.
A snowstorm which swept across the upper Midwest toward the Northeast left up to 10 inches of snow on the ground, forcing schools to close and travelers to stay put. The snow extended from Minnesota to the eastern Great Lakes area and was spreading east as the day progressed.
cials they have to act before the end of March. A motion presented by Councilman Tim Grimes stating that parking meters on the south side of Washington Street from College to Vine Streets be removed as soon as the parking lot on Walnut Street was completed died before the Council for lack of a second last night. The motion included that parking not be permitted on College Street (west side) to Walnut Street from Washington Street. Grimes told his fellow councilmen that he thought this action should be taken to encourage the state toward a movement to install a stop light at the comer of College Avenue and Washington Street. Mayor Fisher commented that he thought the traffic survey the state is going to conduct for the city would be the answer to the traffic problem. (Continued on Page 3)
C. K. McKamey Assessing Same As Last Year The Assessor’s Office wants' to remind everyone that there is no change in the manner of assessing this year from other years. Assessing forms are being mailed to taxpayers in the Corporated towns and Cities— and assessing officials are calling on people in the Townships, as has been the custom of other
years.
The Township Trustees shall make every effort to contact each individual in the rural areas, but acts passed by the 1961 General Assembly states that each individual shall be responsible for turning in his assessment on or before May 15th each year. The Assessor’s office will be happy to assist anyone in completing his returns. Masonic Notice All officers of Greencastle Council No. 107, Royal & Select Masters, are being called to Terre Haute Wednesday evening March 22nd by Grand Council for a school of instruction. Plans call for leaving Greencastle Temple at 6:00 o’clock All members who possibly can are urged to attend. This is an important meeting. Robert A. Ziegleman 111. Master

AGANA, Guam UPI — Thu mood that emerged from the two-day Vietnam conference on Guam was tough, confident and determined. There was no comfort for Hanoi in the results of the meetings between President Johnson and Premier Nguyen Cao Ky of South Vietnam. Nor could critics of Johnson’s policies in the conflict find the slightest indication his attitude toward these policies has changed. The flood of official wordage concerning pacification and rehabilitation did not obscure the hard military facts of life to be found in statements by Johnson, Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Several basic points emerged with clarity: —The allies, as Johnson said, have made great progress on the civilian front. The Allies face agony and suffering for a considerable time to come but have gained great momentum. —Hanoi has shown no serious interest in doing anything to bring the war to an end. —The conferees agreed the Communists should be further hammered into suing for negotiations or, if they won’t do that, pulling back their forces and letting the conflict fade
away.
—More steam must be put
into the pacification program to win the minds of the peasants and better their lot. This in-
poiitical and economic
reform because mUitary force
is not the entire answer. The President as well as his
top aides and the South Vietnamese asserted that no major military decisions were taken
during the two-day meeting. This could be a matter of se-
mantics since Gen. William C. Westmoreland, the American commander in Vietnam, reviewed the military problems in some detail and the basis undoubtedly was laid for decisions
to be taken later.
Virtually all observers are convinced these decisions will mean a further intensification of the military effort — but no
massive escalation.
Coin Club To Meet Thursday The regular monthly meeting of the Putnam County Coin Club will be held Thursday evening at 7:30 p. m., in the Indiana Gas A Water Company meeting
room.
Club President, Darrell Storm, is extending a special invitation to members who are interested in copper coins. The program will feature a set of 51 color slides on “Copper Coins of the United States.” Storm states that these slides have been furnished by the Visual Aids Department of the American Nuismatic Association and the general public is invited to attend.
