3-way Democrat race is likely in Indiana

—~-

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - The Indiana presidential preference primary has shaped up as a probable three-way race on the Democratic ticket and a faintly possible two-way contest on the Republican side with the filing deadline only three days away. Indiana law requires at least 500 certified signatures of voters from each congressional district be filed by each presidential candidate with the Secretary of State by midnight Thursday. The winning primary candidates May 7 can claim the first round balloting of Indiana delegates at their respective national political conventions. Former Vice President Rich, ard M. Nixon was without any opposition for Indiana’s 26 delegates to the Aug. 5 GOP convention in Miami Beach until Monday when Mayor Wallace J. S. Johnson of Berkeley, Calif., appeared at the Statehouse here. Johnson said a group, composed of students and housewives, was in the process of obtaining the necessary signatures on petitions to place his name on the state GOP presidential primary ballot. The organizer of a college-orientated group formed for New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, George Walton, 26, a Louisville, Ky., law student, is one of Johnson’s advisors.

Miss Criscoe tosses the bag to a student He spells the word and tosses it back. The routine worked fine — until Miss Criscoe was distracted about the time the bean bag returned. The bag struck the teacher on the head and dislodged her wig. While students gaped. Miss Criscoe recovered her hair and her composure.

Johnson’s “Golden Eagle” program for ending the Vietnam War has gained him recent national publicity. The first step in the plan calls for a conference limited to North and South Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. He explained he developed the plan after visits to Vietnam. Johnson left his news conference at the Statehouse for a meeting with Purdue University Young Republicans. He said he would be back in Indiana to campaign for five weeks against Nixon if his supporters can accumulate the necessary signatures. On the Democratic side, petitions for Governor Branigin as a stand-in for President Johnson and for Sen. Eugene McCarthy, D-Minn., as an alternate choice to the President, were so well advanced there seemed little doubt they would be battling for the 66 Indiana delegates at the Democratic national convention Aug. 26 in Chicago. RFK Group at Work In addition, Indiana Young Democrat Chairman Michael Riley, who is heading a drive for Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, DN.Y., said the Kennedy - for - President group expects to have the necessary signatures so their candidate can decide on Thursday to enter. Several county clerks called at random said they already have certified petitions for Kennedy to be on the Democratic presidential preference ballot. Marion County Clerk Allen Hunter said his office and the Board of Registration have “been getting along very well” on the certification of voters’ names on presidential petitions. In addition to having already cleared those for Nixon and Branigin, he said those for McCarthy are being completed. He and other county clerks called by United Press International indicated that the task of certifying signatures of voters is not as time-consuming as had been expected. Mrs. Rene Giere, Bloomington, petition chairman for the Hoosiers for a Democratic Alternative, backing McCarthy, said HDA has the necessary 500 signatures per district and are in the process of getting them certified.- She said only in a few cases in which most of the signatures of a district were in one county has there been any delay in certification by county clerks.

Coatesville news

It is one thing for a town to spend hundreds of dollars for tile to carry the water away from property and streets and it means more money when the tile becomes clogged with tree roots, coffee grounds and other debris and must be dug up, cleaned and replaced. There was a case of this on a main street and a south street Monday morning where Wayne Kivett and helper, with a mechanical digger, were getting into a ditch some six feet deep and having to tear up part of the street’s blacktop. A call came early Monday morning from a lady on Broadway that sewers were clogged and something would have to be done to take the water away from her property. Here are some tough jobs that give the town commissioners a workout. These property owners are taxpayers and they want their problems solved today — not next week or next month. Thieves have hit our town again. Last weekend, one of Coatesville’s business houses had its back door opened and the stickyfingered one took his pick of odds and ends of goods to his liking and walked or rode away. The time for the hiest was well after midnight after the town marshal had made his inspection rounds. At mid-afternoon Monday, the local fire department truck and three or four cars following drove to a farm south of Road 40 and helped extinguish a weed and grass fire. No damage was reported. Mrs. Helen Macy, accompanied by Mrs. Mabel Johnson and Mrs. Grace Gambold were Sunday dinner guests of Rev. and Mrs. Allan Harlan in Terre Haute. Jess Leonard, a well known insurance man and familiar to almost everyone in Coatesville, had an experience this week that would almost border on the miraculous. He had been to see a party in Floyd Township after nightfall and on his way back to town he had to negotiate the steep railroad crossing east ol the old coal shute. Somehow, he missed the crossing planks and found his car wedged between the rails and discovered that he could neither go forward or backward. To make things really alarming, he sighted a train coming from the west. He grabbed a flashlight from the stalled car and started down the

tracks flagging the approaching monster. He did the right thing for the Big Four freight came to a stop a few feet from his car. Four men riding the big diesel climbed down and came to the car and in a few minutes time had Mr. Leonard off the tracks and on his way. He stated later, “I had visions of seeing that car of mine going into a thousand pieces.” Lucky Mr. Leonard. Mrs. Lillie Baxter, wife of the late Judson Baxter, was brought to the Weaver Funeral Home Thursday. The Baxters for many years were farm folks near New Winchester and Mr. Baxter was one time trustee of Marion Township. Mrs. Baxter was the mother of four children. There are nine grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Services for her were held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the local funeral home and burial was to be at Palm Beach Memorial Park in Palm Beach, Florida. James Albert Russell, 82, of Danville, passed away Wednesday. For several years he and an older brother, George, were property owners in Coatesville. The two elderly men were noted for a lovely yard and the wonderful garden they maintained. Mr. Russell was well liked and an accommodating neighbor. Services for him were held at the Baker Funeral Home in Danville. It was not too much of a surprise at what a DPU student had to say about Greencastle and its people in his interview with an Indianapolis reporter. The young man has not been in this man’s world long enough and has had too little experience to possess mature judgment. If he found Greencastle people too much on the “Up and Up” he should learn that to have friends, he must come off the throne and be one. He will see things in a much different light when he is 30 and has mixed with business people who know what business and life are all about. The Coatesville Library Board and the librarian are pleased that a number of school boy and girl readers are interested in writing an essay on the subject “What I Expect of My Library”. Judges of the essays will be the local library staff and a prize will be offered. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hope, of Indianapolis, Mrs. Frank Hope and Mr. and Mrs. Danny Hope of Waldron called on Mrs. Grace Gambold Wednesday afternoon. Paul Hope is now a retired railroad man. Older friends like to see him come back to town. They recall him as a school boy hopping the local freight and

riding it around the curve or to the top of the grade. In those days he was known as “Badger.” The citizens of Coatesville were indeed sorry to hear of the car wreck in which the Schilling children and others of the Fillmore school were involved. The Schilling family has been in town for a few years and both the parents and children are well known. It is the sincere wish of all that the injured ones may have a speedy recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Knight and Allen and Mary Ellen Knlghi of Greenville, Pa., visited a few days last week with Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Knight and Mrs. Margaret Knight. Local TV fans who were watching the 50-50 Show at Clowes Friday afternoon got a pleasant surprise when Mrs. Marian Carter, of south of town, walked on the stage. It is always interesting to see a neighbor and friend in the spotlight even for a few minutes. Marian won a prize. An announcement was made Sunday morning that Rev. Carlyle Mason’s father had passed away and that the funeral would be held Monday at Wesley Manor in Frankfort. Carlyle Mason was the Methodist minister In Coates-

Lighter Side

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI>- Last Friday afternoon the U.S. Senate spent several hours wrestling with itself over the adoption of a code of ethics. Just when It appeared it might pin Itself down with a fairly stringent code, it lost its grip (a modified hammerlock) and let itself wriggle loose. Consequently, the code it finally imposed on itself was rather limited in scope. What caused this last-minute weakening? Another case of reassessment, which is so popular in Washington this month? Perhaps. But I am Inclined to think it was a shortage of oxygen. I developed this theory after talking with Deborah Szekeley, a California lady who operates the Golden Door, one of those ultra plush beauty resorts where wealthy women go for tuneup jobs when their valves are sticking. Miss Szekeley, in town to speak at the American Newspaper Women’s Club, happened to visit the Senate Gallery while the code of ethics struggle was in progress. “What did you think of it?” 1 asked her later. “There isn’t enough oxygen in there,” she replied.

She said she could tell from the way they acted that the senators weren’t getting enough oxygen to enable them to function normally. “One senator got up and proposed something after they had just done it,” she said. “For a lot of senators, that’s normal,” I said. But Miss Szekeley insisted that boosting the oxygen intake of senators would Improve their efficiency. She recommended that they install oxygen tanks in the cloakrooms and take regular time to inhale a few whiffs. Additionally, she said, they should go outside periodically and jump rope. She said jumping rope is a simply marvelous way to drag more oxygen into the lungs. The more I thought about Miss Szekeley’s analysis, the more it made sense. One thing all senators have In common is the ability to breathe out more air than they breathe in. Which probably creates an excessive amount of carbon dioxide. If extra oxygen were pumped into the chamber, the next time the Senate wrestles with itself over ethical standards it might win.

Sam Phillips, Conference Missionary Secretary, will speak at the local church and show slides on April 16. A lovely bridal shower was given March 16 for Miss Linda Coffey by Misses Carolyn and Wanda Walters and Roberta Runnells, former classmates of the bride-to-be. Miss Coffey is tc be married on April 6 to Ralph Mantooth. Bill and Bob Coffey, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Coffey, were two of the boys honored at the all-sports banquet helc at Cascade High School Friday night.

Other boys who received trophies were Mike Calvert for free throws; Ron Cooper for reserve team free throws and was also awarded a football trophy. Tom Stein was awarded for reserve basketball rebounds.

By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI) -If Beth Brickell ever decides to quit acting, she has another job waiting as a carpenter. Right now, Miss Brickell Is putting the tools of the acting trade to work on a top-rated television series. The tools of the carpenter’s craft have been at work on renovation of apartments. These she has leased empty, furnished them, and sublet at substantially higher rent than the original. The profit has been enough to see her through the Actors Studio, support her while she made the rounds looking for jobs, and still is a nice monthly dividend although it no longer is "eat or else” monev. Needs Money “When you’re studying acting,” Miss Brickell said, “you have to find a way to support yourself without the job taking all your time." At the moment, she leases three New York apartments that she has renovated, doing everything from converting closes to dressing rooms to installing parquet flooring. Her landlords don't mind their absentee tenant’s making the profit on their property. After all, she is improving it and the improvement remains if ever she decides not to release. The 25-year-old actress, who plays the wife and mother in the CBS-TV’s “Gentle Ben,” said carpentry began for her while she was a child growing up in Camden, Ark., a town of about 16,000 population 100 miles south of Little Rock. Begged For Lumber I’d go anywhere a new house was going up and beg lumber scraps and nails. I built our girls’ clubhouse, bird feeders, bird houses, tree houses, S cotters . . . “By the time I was 14, though, I stopped carpentry,” she said. “I got Interested In boys.” One of three children of a commercial printer (the family since has moved to Fort Worth, Tex.), Miss Brickell is a graduate of the University of Arkansas, where she majored In history and political science. Warns of pollution NEW YORK (UPI)-An air pollution official warned Monday that every American city faces disaster unless the total problem of environmental control is handled on a sound managerial basis. Harold Romer, director of field services for the New York City Department of Air Pollution Control, said at the opening session of the 38th Eastern Regional Safety Convention that air, water and soil pollutionspreading from urban and industrial areas— must be considered together and not as separate problems. “Catastrophe hangs over every city in the nation,” Romer said, “unless sound, modem managerial principles are applied to the total problem of environmental control, taking into consideration all factors that influence pollution.”

But in the back of her mind always, she said, was the desire to act and once she’d made up her mind to try, “I figured I should study with the best teachers. If I was no good, I'd have gotten It out of my system.” But now she said, she’s too busy to do anything about the apartments she leases. New Jersey sails again PHILADELPHIA (UPI>—The USS New Jersey, mighty empress of the seas, sails Into the Atlantic today after an 11year sleep. Passage of the dreadnaught through the Delaware River breakwater returns the battleship era once thought dead. The 4 5,000-ton battlewagon, known official as the BB62 in Navy nomenclature, will undergo three days of builder's trials at sea. Tests will determine the quality of the work of the small army of civilian and Navy personnel that worked on the long gray vessel at the Philadelphia naval base since last August, when the Department of Defense ordered the New Jersey out of the mothball fleet and prepared for service in Vietnam. The New Jersey’s nine 16-inch guns, capable of firing 2,900pound armor-piercing shells a distance of 20 miles with an accuracy of 50 yards, were the reason for the recommissioning. The awesome fire power can blanket much of the narrow waist of North Vietnam and the Demilitarized Zone. As the world’s only active battleship, the New Jersey will head through the Panama Canal this summer if the Vietnam conflict continues and across the Pacific into her third war. The New Jersey was launched here In December, 1942, and commissioned a year later. She earned nine battle stars In World War II In the Pacific. She was hauled out of mothballs once before, In 1950, and earned four more battle stars In Korea. Now the big guns of the New Jersey are being readied once again. Capt. J. Edward Snyder Jr., the new skipper, estimated the cost of putting BB62 “on the line” off Vietnam at $50 million, including about $27 million for the actual reconditioning of the ship at the Philadelphia navy yard.
