GOP peace candidate' urged by Sen. Hatfield
WASHINGTON UPI—Sen. Mark O. Hatfield, the leading Republican dove, said he would like to see the GOP nominate a "peace candidate” like Gen. James M. Gavin in 1968. Gavin said, however, he has neither the money or organization needed to School bus hit by freight train WATERLOO, Neb. UPI—A Union Pacific freight train slammed into a school bus at a crossing on a country road today, scattering dead and injured over the ground. Reports from the scene, just west of this hamlet, indicated four fatalities and at least nine Injuries. Waterloo is about 20 miles west of Omaha. Officials at Union Pacific headquarters there said the crossing was marked by a standard cross-bar but there were no flashing lights to indicate an approaching train. The railroad officials said the freight train, consisting of 97 cars, was traveling at about 48 miles per hour. The train struck the bus near the right rear wheel, tearing out three or four rear seat sections. Some of the Beats were thrown as far as 50 feet. The bus was carrying pupils of the Waterloo Public School to their classes. The bus was thrown into a ditch along the track A state highway patrolman said, '‘Bodies were scattered all over the ground.” Rescue vehicles carried the dead and injured to Waterloo and to Omaha.
mount a presidential campaign and does not see how he could wind up in the 1968 picture. "I have only ideas and convictions,” Gavin said, "and I don’t think these are adequate these days.” The talk of a Republican peace candidate comes against the background of mounting discontent over President Johnson’s policies in Vietnam. The latest Gallup Poll shows that Johnson is no longer even the most popular candidate within his own party, trailing Sen. Robert F. Kennedy of New York 39 per cent to 37 per cent. Hatfield, in a television interview Sunday (Face the Nation—CBS), said he did not believe the Republican party would “nominate a hawk” at its 1968 convention. ‘T think the Republican party realizes that it has to present to the American people in 1968 a choice and not an echo,” the Oregon lawmaker said. “I believe that General Gavin, who is a very deep thinker, a man who is a military expert, a man who combines intellectualism with military expertise, is certainly a man to be listened to. “I believe that if he should make a bid or his friends should promote him into the actual nominating activity, that he would be the type of person that I could well and happily support,” Hatfield said. Sen. Charles Percy, (R-Hl.) meanwhile, accused President Johnson of being "incapable of ending the war in Vietnam.” Speaking in New Orleans, Percy said Johnson is "irrevocably committed to a course of action which has not worked since he took office, which is not working now, and which shows no sign of working in the future.”

U. S. planes bomb MIG bases
SAIGON UPI—American warplanes diving through heavy antiaircraft fire bombed North Vietnamese MIG bases for the third consecutive day, a U. S. military spokesman said today. Along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), Communist gunfire against U. S. Marine frontier forts fell off to the lowest in months under continued heavy bombardments by air, land and sea. A Marine spokesman at Da Nang said that only one round hit Leatherneck bases on Sunday. But that round wounded two Marines, the spokesman said. Communist mortar, rocket and artillery fire had averaged 500 shells daily and as many as 1,000 at the Con Thien outpost alone during the month of September. In the Central Highlands, meanwhile, a bitter jungle battle erupted Sunday 23 miles southeast of Pleiku near the Cambodian border. It started when an aerial observer in a light plane noticed North Vietnamese troops moving along a jungle trail. Bainbridge band to give concert The Bainbridge High School Band, under the direction of Mrs. Malinda Zenor, will present an outdoor concert at the Fire Dept. Fish Fry in Bainbridge Friday night, Oct.7, at 7:30 p.m. The program will last about one hour and numbers to be played will include excerpts from the popular musical, South Pacific.

Helicopter gunships quickly loaded up a strike force of U. S. Army 4th Infantry Division troops and landed them nearby. Within minutes the Americans were locked in heavy jungle fighting. Artil-
Hoover discusses recent city riots
WASHINGTON UPI — FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover says both those who practice civil disobedience and authorities who let them get away with it must share the blame for recent rioting in the nation's cities. Writing in the October issue of the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, Hoover said: “It should be abundantly clear that the doctrine of civil disobedience is a doctrine of self destruction. “young thugs and misguided teen-ag-ers, seeing others defy authority and the courts with impunity, have been led to believe that any crime under a banner of complaints is justified. "Consequently, they ignore the law and roam through their community creating violence and terror. Certainly, those who espouse the theory of civil disobedience and the authorities who free guilty violators must share a portion of the blame and responsibility for the turmoil in our streets.” Pleasant autumn weather prevails Much of the nation enjoyed a pleasant autumn day today, with fail- skies and crisp temperatures. An exception, a storm along the Pacific Coast, pumped rain and gusty winds inland, prompting gale warnings. As much as 3 inches of rain had fallen at coastal sections of Washington in the past 24 hours.
lery hammered the North Vietnamese positions. Tactical air strikes dumped bombs and napalm. And helicopters slammed the Communists with rockets and machine gun fire. The North Vietnamese had been moving northeast into South Vietnam, apparently from a Cambodian sanctuary. They broke off the fight and apparently fled back across the border, leaving at least 18 bodies behind. Blood trails indicated they carried wounded, and perhaps some dead, with them. One Amercan was killed and two were wounded in the fight. The spokesman said that U. S. Air Force F105 Thunderchiefs flying out of Thailand swept back and bombed the Kep MIG airbase 38 miles northeast of Hanoi. It followed up a similar raid Saturday.
LBJ may not get his tax increase WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson’s call for speedy action on his proposed 10 per cent income tax increase la likely to go unheeded in Congress unless he cuts spending by more than tin $2 billion he has offered. That was the word today from Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., of th« House Ways & Means Committee, th« most influential tax-writer in Congress. Johnson warned during a news conference at his Texas ranch Saturday that the longer the lawmakers delay in granting his request for a tax increas* the closer the nation moves toward “burdensome and dangerous inflation.” "This is a responsibility of Congress,” the President said. "We think that the small request we have made of just 1 per cent of the income of the average persons is very necessary if we are to avoid the evil effects of a more burdensome tax, a weakening of the dollar, increased interest rates—high and ruinous interest rates—with a big blow to our homebuildng program.” But Mills, in a copyrighted interview In U. S. News & World Report said, "There is not going to be a tax bill passed by this Congress so long as there is a prospect for a rate of spending totaling well above $140 billion. It’s just not going to be done. "The White House is most anxious to get a tax increase. They have assured us that they will cut expenditures. The problem is that we believe the cuts should be much more substantial than the $2 billion they are talking about. "I am sure they will have to agree to larger cuts before we will even consider reporting a bill out of our committee. If we ask taxpayers to pull in their belts to the extent of, say, $5 billion, the amount of additional revenue involved in fiscal 1968, then I think those taxpayers have a right to demand that the federal government pull in its belt to the same extent,” Mills said. Johnson asked for the 10 per cent surcharge on personal and corporate income taxes to curb a federal budget defeit that he has said could reach $29 billion without it.

Sherwood hosts series of Laymen's Workshops
M0N0N PASSENGER SERVICE ENDS—The arrival and departure of No, 6 at the Greencastle Monon Railroad station Saturday morning on its final run from Louisville to Chicago marked the end of an era which lasted 120 years.

merce Commission to discontinue its last two trains, No. 5 and No. 6, due to mounting loss in passenger revenue during recent years. No. 5 made its last run from Chicago to Louisville Friday night.

The second session will be devoted to the presentation of several social service programs such as Community Action Program, Head Start, UNICEF, Hospital Guild, and Mental Health. High-
