American people "brainwashed" says Romney

Ford Motor Co. struck

Ron Snodgrass, a senior in RoachdaU High School, has been elected Master Councilor of Roachdale Chapter Order of DeMolay, now in its ninth year. Installation for Ron, David Gilbert, Senior Councilor, and Joe Hutchins, Junior Councilor, will be held at the Roachdale Masonic Lodge at 8 o’clock Friday evening. Michigan school doors still closed DETROIT UPI—School doors remained closed “until further notice’’ today for about 500,000 Michigan children whose teachers refused to enter classrooms wtihout higher wages and smaller classes. Teachers were holding firm to their “no contract, no work” pledge in 35 communities, including Detroit, with the state’s largest school system of 300,000 student and 11.500 teachers. About onefourth of the state's school children, 550 schools and more than 20,000 teachers were affected. The once-postponed opening for Detroit’s 320 schools was put off indefinitely Wednesday when little progress wa« reported in negotiations for a new contract between the Detroit school boa/d and the Detroit Federation of Teachers (DFT). Mary Ellen Rioidan, DFT president, told union members their “daily presence on the picket lines is absolutely necessary to help our bargaining team.” The smaller Detroit Education Association asked its members to honor the picket line. School boards countered teacher militancy by preparing to ask courts to order teachers to work, charging them with breaking a state law which prohibits strikes by public employes. Expected today was a request for an injunction against 1,007 striking teachers at Saginaw where contract negotiations were at a complete standstill. Saginaw, with 21,760 students, is the largest city outside Detroit affected by the boycott. The most serious problems were in Detroit where Norman Drachler, school superintendent, sided with the school board. He said the city lacked the funds “to meet the salary demands of the staff.” Detroit teachers have twice rejected the board’s offer of $500 across-the-board raises. The DFT contends the board has fat in the budget that could be used for higher salaries. There was growing bitterness. The Michigan Education Association charged that school boards conspired to force teachers to strike to create public pressure for tough anti-strike legislation.

Nearly 5,000 workers jumped the gun and left their jobs before Reuther formally declared the strike in effect. Plants were shut down prematurely in Mahwah, N.J., St. Louis, Mo., and St. Paul, Minn., even though Reuther had urged his members to wait until midnight. Anthony Williams, president of St, Louis’ local 325. said his men went on strike at the Lincoln-Mercury plant three hours before the deadline. “The guys just decided the strike was cuming and left their jobs,” he said.

Ted Katula today was named Director of Student Union Activities and Assistant Dean of Students at DePauw Universtiy. The appointment of the 35-year-old staff member of the new administrative post was announced by President William E. Kerstetter. Katula’s appointment, the President said, is effective immediately. Katula, currently serving as asisstant coach in football, will not. however, assume his full duties at the Union until the end of the current football season. Responsibilities of the director will be to direct all phases of campus activities High (lying bird WASHINGTON UPI — The Early Bird Communications satellite has been recruited to help fight a long-standing and time-consuming duty for travellers-clear-ing customs. Early Bird transmitted advance information on passengers cargo on a Trans World Airlines TWA flight from Frankfort to Dulles International Airport near Washington to demonstrate how paperwork and red tape could be speeded up. Gen. DeGoulle meets with Polish leaders WARSAW UPI — French President Charles de Gaulle conferred for two hours and 10 minutes today with Polish leaders on world problems including Vietnam and his reported efforts to enlist Communist help in ending the conflict there. DeGaulle told an official reception Wednesday night Poland and France might be able to work together to bring the war to an end—the first time he is known to have proposed working directly with a communist nation on the subject. De Gaulle’s own views on Vietnam closely parallel those of the Communist world. He has said repeatedly the only way the war can end is for American troops to withdraw and that a firm promise to do so must be the basis for peace talks. Today’s meeting was De Gaulle’s only formal meeting with President Edward Ochab and Premier Jozef Cyrankiewicz before he begins a tour of the provinces and disputed Polish territory that was once part of Germany. He is expected to defend Poland’s right to the territories in speeches during his weeklong Visit.

in the Union except food service and plant maintenance. He also will coordinate special events and programs sponsored by or occurring in the Union. As an assistant dean of students he will function under the Dean of Students’ office. Katula joined the DePauw physical education department and varsity coaching staff in 1959 after teaching at Oberlin College. In addition to football duties at DePauw he has coached baseball, wrestling and golf during the past eight years. A native of Campbell. O., Katula was graduated from Ohio State University in 1958. He played on the university's football and golf squads, captaining the latter squad for two years. He received the M.S. degree in 1965 at Indiana Universtiy in recreation and physical education, Mr. and Mrs. Katula and their two daughters reside at R.R. 1, Greencastle. Mrs. Katula, the former Linda Martin of Watseka, HI., is a 1962 graduate of DePauw.

At least 338 Communists were killed in bloody battling that saw both sides use tear gas. U. S. officials in Saigon said American casualities in the war had neared the 94,000 mark. They said 157 U. S. fighUng men died last week in a reflection of fierce preelection Communist offensivies and raids. One hundred and 25 Americans died the previous week. Another 1,588 Americans were reported wounded last week, 510 mors than the week before. At least 36 Marines were slain in today’s predawn action but the Leathernecks eventually sent the Communists Into retreat and pursued them as dawn broke. Airliner forced to take evasive action WASHINGTON UPI — An Eastern Air Lines jet, with more than 100 passengers aboard on a shuttle flight from New York to Washington, had to take evasive action Wednesday night to avoid colliding with another aircraft. The big DC9 airline’* was about 10 minutes out of New York's La Guardia Airport when the pilot suddenly dipped the plane’s wings and dropped the aircraft several hundred feet in a matter of seconds. Shortly afterward, the plane resumed its normal altitude and the pilot apologized over the intercom to the passengers, declaring that the maneuver was necessary to keep out of the flight path of an approaching aircraft. He did not identify the aircraft.

WASHINGTON UPI — Michigan Gov. George Romney's charge that the Johnson administration has “brainwashed’’ the American people on Vietnam contains all the makings of a major issue in next year’s presidential campaign. The administration apparently thinks so too for it wasted no time Wednesday in firing back at Romney, a leading but still unannounced GOP candidate for the White House. The controversy began earlier this week when Romney said in an inter-

School Corporation to obtain this economical and attractive school by making lease rental payments for a period of 25 years. At the end of the 25 years the school will become the absolute property of the school corporation as directed by law. This method of financing schools in Indiana is fast becoming a popular way of acquiring schools in areas that are in need of more modem facilities. The North Putnam Jr./Sr. High School is scheduled for completion late in 1968. The school is a single-story steel frame structure with a colored face brick exterior and will include the following: A. Academic: 1. Instructional Material (Library’) Center 2. Air cooled Administrative Offices 3. (14) General Purpose Classrooms 4. (4) Science Rooms 5. (3) Business Education Rooms 6.

Peace Lutheran congregation will hold dedication services for its new church and student center at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, September 10. The building is located at 218 Bloomington Street. The speaker for the dedication will be the Rev. Reuben W. Hahn, D.D., Executive Secretary of the Commission on College and University Work for the Lutheran Church— Missouri Synod. Construction of the new Lutheran church, designed by Roy D. Murphy and Associates, began in January. Many of the component parts of the church have been supplied by Creative Buildings, Inc., of Urbana, Illinois. Local construction companies have had a part in this Dixie states hit by torrential rains Torrential rains battered the Gulf Coast today from Florida to Texas. It was the fourth straight day of heavy rain for many areas and flooding was reported. The Pensacola, Fla., Naval Air Station reported more than 13 inches of rain had fallen in an 18-hour period ending early today. Almost six inches of that amount fell in six hours, the station reported. Mobile, Ala., was slapped with 6.12 inches of rain in a 24 hour period ending early today, and flooding was reported in low-lying areas of Mobile County. The deluge was blamed on a low pressure disturbance at the southern end of Mississippi. Rain also fell from the lower Mississippi valley to northeastern Texas and southeastern Kansas, and thundershowers lingered from the southern Rockies to the desert Southwest. A massive high pressure area brought clear and pleasant conditions to much of the rest of the nation. Lightning storms irked forest fire fighters in Idaho and Montana where blazes were just beginning to be controlled after a month-long rampage.

view that he had been “brainwashed” during a 1965 tour of Vietnam with eight other governors. Asked about the statement at a news conference Wednesday, the governor said, “if you want to get into a discussion of who’s been brainwashing whom I suggest you take a look at what the administration has been telling the American people. The information has not been accurate.” He quoted defense secretary Robert S. McNamara as saying at a news conferencs in Johnson City, Tex., last Da-

building under the supervision of th* general contractor, Sanford Siddons. Dean Schlatter has served as chairman of the Building Committee. This contemporary style church is designed to provide a meaningful setting for Christian worship by modern man. The free-standing altar and the baptismal font are raw blocks of Indiana limestone and show the strength Christians receive in the Sacraments celebrated there. The pulpit, made of brick, indicates the solidarity of the Word of God preached from it. The mural on the chancel wall, paiitted by Richard Caemmerer, Jr., artist-in-residence at Valparaiso University, depicts the world gathered around Christ, Who is represented by the ancient Greek symbol for His name, Chi Rho.

Andersen’s study. The parking lot north of the building will hold nine cars. Immediately following the dedication service, an open house will be held in the educational wing. The public is cordially invited to attend both the dedication service and the open house.

By United Press International The second nationwide strike of the United Auto Workers Union against the Ford Motor Co. in 26 years began today. Pickets in good spirits ringed Ford’s 93 plants, emptied of their 160.000 workers. “We're going to starve but we’re going to get w’hat we w’ant,” several workers chanted as they streamed out of the giant Ford Rouge complex in Dearborn, Mich., where Walter P. Reuther began his climb to the presidency of the UAW. Ford has plants from coast to coast but the hardest hit states were Michigan and Ohio w’here 107,000 workers man 47 of the plants.

cember that draft calls might be cut with an accompanying slowdown in the U. S. military buildup for Vietnam. He also cited a report that the administration hoped to avoid a tax increase and expected a cutback in purchases of bombs and military aircraft. “The people have been told repeatedly that with just one more step we would be able to handle the situation . . .that we would have the boys home by the end of the year,” Romney said. “That hasn't happened. The admuustraUon, always sensitive

to “credibility gap” charges, was quick to reply to the governor’s blast. The defense department, in a statement, said that Romney "grossly distorted the record.” It said draft calls for the 10 months of 1966 totaled 314,980, or 136,480 fewer than in the first 10 months of 1967. Gov. Philip H. Hoft of Vermont, one of President Johnson's most steadfast supporters, called a special news conference to denounce Romney for using what he termed “McCarthy tactic* of guilt by innuendo.”
