Greencastle's recreational structure has fourteen weak points says I.U. Professor of Recreation

Dr. Garrett G. Eppley, Professor of Recreation at Indiana University, told a group of interested civic leaders, local government officials, and interested citizens that a survey taken recently of the Greencastle area showed that fourteen weak points existed in our recreational structure. Eppley listed the fourteen weak points at a dinner in the DePauw University Memorial Building last night as a climax to the survey taken by a team from Indiana University. Eppley pointed out that one of the important recommendations the survey group had was that the city council should repeal the ordinance creating the park department and pass an ordinance adopting the 1965 Park and Recreation

Law providing for an ex-officio member from the school board. "This act provides that the mayor shall select the board members on the basis of their interest in and knowledge of parks and recreation, but not more than two members shall be of the same political party,” he stated. “Thus under the new act a better Park Board could be derived and consequently a better recreation program.” Another suggestion made included the establishment of the Department of Parks and Recreation with the recruiting of a professionally trained person with a degree in recreation or park administration as superintendent. Along with the suggestion the survey team gave a list of recommended duties for the superintendent.

Other recommendations from the survey team included: a professional park and recreation planner should be employed to develop a facility plan for the Jaycee Community Park; provisions for a teen center at the high school and junior high school; a building should be set aside for the more than 1,000 senior citizens in the community; the budget for parks and recreation should be substantially increased over a gradual period of time; and that the Department of Parks and Recreation should work with personnel from DePauw University for the purpose of enlightening student groups in work projects concentrated toward better recreation. Eppley also remarked that Green-

castle is fortunate to have an educational institution as DePauw University, a school system administered by capable and progressive personnel, and so many civic-minded people and service organizations. The community should be an ideal place in which to live and work. The group then submitted tp the community the 14 major recommendations with the hope that they will receive the consideration they merit and that many of the recommendations would be adopted in the current year. Lloyd Cooper, Chairman of the local steering committee, then closed the dinner meeting with a challenge to everyone attending to make the dinner a commencement of a better recreation program for the Greencastle area.

U.S. enters race to Venus with launching of Mariner 5 space robot

6 cities across nation see violent racial disturbances

CAPE KENNEDY UPI — The United States entered the race to Venus today by giving Its Mariner 5 space robot a “superb” sendoff on a four-month voyage to get an electronic glimpse of the planet that may hide life under a murky cloud blanket. The 540-pound mechanical explorer set out on the interplanetary endurance run two days behind a larger Russian probe, but still may be in the running to get 'there first.

ty United Pratt International Frustrated in the Security Council, the Soviet Union reversed 20 years’ policy and today drove to carry its antiIsraeli campaign to the United Nations General Assembly. The Russians counted on defeat today when the 15-nation council was scheduled to vote on a Soviet resolution to condemn Israel as the aggressor in last week’s Middle East war and demand she withdrew her troops from occupied Arab territory. . Soviet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko, whose bow tie has become something of an American television symbol during a series of council broadcasts, planned to shift the fight as soon as possible to the 122-nation assembly. He was expected to produce Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko and possibly Premier Alexei N. Kosygin for the big assembly show the Soviets hope to use to win friends in the Arab world. The Arabs themselves showed little enthusiasm for the Communist maneuver. United Nations diplomatic sources reported the Arab Delegates less than joyful. At Cairo, U.A.R. President Gamal Abdel Nasser appeared more interested 9

WASHINGTON UPI — Sen. Thomas J. Dodd goes before his colleagues today to press home a point-by-point denial of the alleged wrongdoings for which the Senate Ethics Committee is demanding his censure. Dodd, his political career and personal reputation hanging in the balance, was prepared to rise in the Senate face to face with his accusers and repeat his declaration: “I am not guilty.” As the dramatic trial moved into its second day, the Connecticut Democrat’s selfappointed defender, Sen. Russell Lrtng, D-La., announced he planned to reveal “some dramatic new evidence that hasn't even been hinted at.” Long would give no clue to the nature of'the evidence except to say it was never uncovered by the Ethics Committee. He indicated he would not reveal it until Thursday when he makes his own presentation in defense of the 60-year-old, silver-haired Dodd. Dodd faces censure for conduct the Ethics Committee says “tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute.” The committee said in its findings on the Dodd case that he diverted 1116,083 in

If Mariner 5 successfully follows its curving 212.5-million-mile course, it will fly within 2,000 miles of Venus Oct. 19 and then arc around its backside, humming its findings back to earth. Project manager Dan Schneiderman said Mariner’s takeoff “was just superb” and sent the craft on a course that will need only slight adjustment in five or 10 days to get it in its bullseye. “It was beautiful, right in the pickle barrel,” said program manager Glenn

In action to get his lost territories back. Nasser wanted an Arab summit conference to plan strategy. But his image suffered brutal damage in the war he led and lost. Morocco’s King Hassan n publicly threw cold water on the idea and called for a lesser conference of Arab foreign ministers. Other Arab states followed Hassan’s lead. Egypt also rebuffed world shipping nations’ appeals to reopen the warclosed Suez Canal, Cairo newspapers said. But the Russians pushed on in the United Nations. Accused by many Arabs of doing too little too late to help them in their darkest hours last week, the Soviets were dumping without ceremony their formerly steadfast policy of refusing to approve assembly handling of major war and peace issues. Meanwhile, UPI correspondent Joseph W. Grigg reported from Israeli-occupied Gaza that still there is no peace in the conquered Egyptian city. Snipers and landmines still kill and maim. At the United Nations, relief agencies —^including those for children, for Palestine refugees, and the Red Cross—began trying to muster millions of dollars to care for the civilian victims of the war.

political funds to his personal use and double-billed the Senate and private organizations for travel expenses seven times. Long was pleased by the opening day of debate and said Dodd picked up votes. He predicted more would come into the anti-censure camp. He said the longer the Senate can consider the issues the better it would be for Dodd. He predicted the final vote would come by Friday.

Gov. will sign bill SACRAMENTO, Calif. UPI — Gov. Ronald Reagan says he will sign a bill making California the third state this year to liberalize its abortion law despite his view that the legislation “is by no means perfect” “I will sign the bill even though it does not meet each and every objection that I and others in California have to it, ’ Reagan said in a formal statement issued lata Tuesday.

Reiff. “All we have to do now is to keep it going for four months.” Mariner 5 Is not equipped to look for Venusian life, but may add fuel to the growing scientific controversy over whether plants or animals can exist on the planet The prime goal of the probe’s delicate Instruments is to determine the thickness of the dense atmosphere that masks the planet’s surface and to help clear up some of the mysteries of the bright evening star that have baffled astronomers fqr centuries. The spacecraft, built three years ago as a spare for a Mars mission, left earth at 2:01 a.m. EDT on the nose of an Atlas-Agena rocket that cast a brilliant glow over the spaceport as it raced skyward on a tail of flame. After first soaring Into an "aiming” orbit around earth, the probe's Agena upper stage rocket gave it the 25,500 mile-an-hour push needed to break the grasp of earth’s gravity and speed toward Venus. Once free of its spent rocket, Mariner 5 unfolded the four solar panels that must turn the sun’s energy Into electrical power for the remainder of the trip. With the panels deployed, the craft had a “wing span” of 18 feet. It was not known when Russia’s probe would intercept Venus. That depends on undisclosed details of its mission and on a tricky midway steering maneuver that Mariner 5 also must perform. Mariner 5 was America’s first attempt to explore Venus since 1962 when Mariner 2 passed 21,594 miles by the planet and reported it appeared too hot and too dry to support life as it is known on earth. More recent measurements from earth, however, have cast some doubt on those findings. Severe weather sweeps Great Plains By United Pres« International High winds and severe thunderstorms swept across the Great Plains today producing threats of tornadoes and damaging hail storms. Scattered rains and thundershowers skipped across most of the nation between the Rockies and the Great Lakes today, the ninth day the Midwest received rain. Tornado watches were posted in parts of Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas, Wisconsin and Minnesota today. The U.S. Weather Bureau said tornadoes were most likely in Nebraska, which was hard hit by tornadoes and high winds Tuesday night. Norfolk, Neb., was struck by driving rains and winds of more than 100 miles an hour late Tuesday and early today. Flooding was common in the Norfolk areas as the Northfork and Elkhorn Rivers overflowed. The high winds knocked a radio station off the air. In Missouri, more flooding was feared today because of threatened rains. The Missouri River overflowed its banks Tuesday in the lower Missouri basin, forcing farmers to evacuate their homes. About 400 residents at Rossville, Kan., assisted by National Guardsmen, fled their homes Tuesday. Boats, helicopters and amphibious vehicles were used to move the residents to safety. Nevada and Wyoming received scattered rain today, following heavy downpours Tuesday. Occasional thundershowers fell along the East Coast today. Key West, Fla., received almost two inches of rain in a six-hour period Tuesday.

FLAG DAY *June 14

Two sentenced; one sentence is suspended Two young men, who had previously pleaded guilty to charges of theft, returned to the Putnam Circuit Court Tuesday afternoon following a pre-sent-ence investigation. Terry Clark, 20, city, was sentenced by Judge Francis N. Hamilton to serve one year at the Indiana State Farm. Clark, after serving the sentence, will be on probation for two more years. Robert Woodall, 21, city, was sentenced to the Indiana State Reformatory at Pendleton for 1-10 years. The court suspended his sentence but placed him on probation to Mrs. Mildred Hervey, Putnam County Probation Officer. Both defendants were specifically charged with theft from the Hunt Paving Company on new 1-70. Arabs are reported split on sanctions LONDON UPI — Arab governments were reported today split on applying all-out sanctions against the United States and Britain for fear they will boomerang. Diplomatic reports said economic considerations of the “haves” among the Arabs appear to conflict with the call for revenge at all cost from the “havenots,” led by Gamal Abdel Nasser’s Egypt Differences are reflected in the projected delay of the Arab summit conference amid indications that some Arab leaders are dragging their feet to gain time for a more reliable assessment of the aftermath of the Israeli-Arab war. The Arabs’ dilemma is to show a united front of resistance against Israel and at the same time safeguard vital economic Interests. Current authoritative Western moves to provide for alternative oil sources to Mideast oil may be playing an important part in these considerations, the reports said. Egypt on the other hand appeared certain to keep the Suez Canal closed for as long as possible. Meanwhile, other diplomatic reports claimed that Algerian President Houari Boumedienne returned virtually empty handed from his talks with the Soviet leaders in the Kremlin Tuesday. Soviet affairs experts analyzing the carefully worded announcements from Moscow suggested that the Kremlin has been careful not to commit itself to any specification so far beyond diplomatic pressure on Israel. Veep leaves hospital WASHINGTON UPI — Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey planned to spend his first morning out of the hospital attending a cabinet meeting today, then fly to his home state of Minnesota for a weekend of rest. Humphrey was released from Bethesda Naval Hospital late Tuesday, three days after surgeons removed a nonmalignant tumor in his bladder. He had been suffering from a bladder infection for the past six weeks.

Racial strife boiled in half a dozen cities Tuesday although the civil rights movement posted a momentous gain with the naming of a Negro to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Ohio National Guard was called out to curtail gangs of marauding Negro youths in Cincinnati, 100 policemen were rushed to a Los Angeles fire when Negroes hurled rocks and bricks at firemen on the fringes of Watts, and sporadic firebombing and looting continued in beleagured Tampa, Fla. Black power champion Stokely Carmichael led a line of 200 to 300 Negroes in a march on the Alabama capitol at Montgomery but the march was orderly and there were no incidents. Lady Bird awaits Lud's blessed event JOHNSON CITY, Tex. UPI — Lady Bird Johnson, saying her first grandchild could be born “anytime now,” was back at the LBJ Ranch today to be with her daughter when Luci’s child is bom. The President’s wife felt "like any mother would feel at this time,” sh; said. Mrs. Luci Nugent, 19, has predicted the child will be bom June 17. Mrs. Johnson said she and the President would leave naming the child to the parents, Luci and Pat. “Johnsons are known for making up their own minds,” she said at a brief stop at Dallas’ Love Field Tuesday enroute to Austin. The First Lady has been with Luci off and on for several months, and helped her set up a new wired-for-sound nursery in the Nugent’s $70,000 home in Austin.

SAIGON UPI — American jets raided a MIG fighter base near Hanoi for the third time in a week and destroyed six of the interceptors on the ground with special cluster bombs, military spokesmen said today. The cluster units burst in the air and spew out scores of baseball-sized bombs which in turn explode in fiery shrapnel. The Air Force F105 Thunderchief pilots had to fly through heavy thunder clouds and a curtain of antiaircraft fire to hit the base at Kep, 32 miles northeast of Hanoi Tuesday. “The flack was really heavy. They were shooting at us like crazy,” said Maj. Kenneth H. Bell, 35, of El Paso, Tex., one of the lead pilots. The pilots counted six explosions in revetments near the runway. Reconnaissance showed a half dozen MIG17s were shattered before they could get moving. Cluster bombs previously had been used against heavy Communist troop concentrations in deep jungle. The toll brought to 21 the number of MIGs destroyed at the base in a weekabout 20 per cent of North Vietnam’s remaining fighter fleet. More U.S. planes pounded other Communist targets from near the base down to the southern edge of the North-South Vietnam border. Air Force B52 Stratofortresses for the third straight day hit just below the border in South Vietnam’s northwest corner, deep jungle area where intelligence reports said the North Vietnamese are trying to rebuild bases destroyed in

There also were incidents at Youngstown, Ohio., where small bands of youths roamed Negro neighborhoods shouting “black power,” and at Newark, N.J., where jeering Negroes shouted down city officials at a meeting. Earlier Tuesday, U.S. Solicitor General Thurgood Marshall, once called “Mr. Civil Rights” for his court victories as a civil rights attorney, was named to be the first Negro member of the Supreme Court. The appointment was applauded by major civil rights leaders who were holding a closed-door meeting in a Suffem, N.Y., motel to discuss ways of unifying the splintered civil rights movement in the face of another long, hot summer. The leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Floyd McKissick, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality; Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP); Whitney M. Young Jr., executive director of the National Urban League, and others met for two days and one night for a unity discussion that ended Tuesday. Elsewhere: Los Angeles-One hundred policemen were rushed to the scene of a fire on the fringes of Watts when Negro bystanders began pelting firemen with rocks and bricks. Six persons were arrested and shop windows were broken along Avalon Boulevard, which became one of the “charcoal alleys” during the Watts riots two years ago. Tampa-National Guardsmen were pulled back after two nights of rioting in a Negro section but sporadic violence continued Tuesday night. At least 19 persons were arrested during hit-and-run incidents of looting and vandalism. Four fires were reported and several windows were smashed by Negro youths.

months of American air and ground assaults. U.S. Marines had probed into the mountain jungles. They fought scattered skirmishes and emerged with the intelligence that sent the B52s into action. In North Vietnam. U.S. bombers ranged beyond Kep which lies 32 miles northeast of Hanoi. They bombed the rail lines between Hanoi and Communist China and they smashed a barge building yard 38 miles north of Hanoi. Defense budget OK'd WASHINGTON UPI—The House has approved a record $70.3 billion military budget for fiscal 1968, but not before one congressman suggested the United States ask Israel for a few tips on how to win a war. House “hawks” and “doves” took turns expressing dissatisfaction with the administration’s strategy in Vietnam Tuesday before approving the defense appropriations bill on a 407-1 vote. Rep. Robert Sikes, D-Fla., condemning U.S. military policy in Vietnam, said the United States could learn some lessons from the amazing success of Israeli forces in last week’s Middle East conflict. “It should be noted that the Israelis did not allow themselves to be influenced by third parties,” ha said.
