INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—After nearly 3V2 decades, Indiana State Police Supt. Robert A. O’Neal is leaving the field of law enforcement. This time, he indicated, it’s for good. In announcing his Aug. 15 retirement Saturday, O’Neal said he submitted his resignation to Governor Branigin June 18. His retirement date coincides with the termination of his accumulated annual leave period. “I am leaving a fine and outstanding department and an excellent group of employes,” O’Neal said in his announcement. “This I regret very much. I do have a desire to spend more time with my family in a position outside law enforcement.” O’Neal, 54, did not disclose specific plans, but indicated he might become active in the in-

LBJ wants vote at 18

WASHINGTON (UPI)— President Johnson, seeking to close the “generation gap,” said Monday he would formally ask Congress this week to begin action to lower the nation’s voting age to 18. The President spoke to delegates to the National YMCA Youth Governors’ Conference. In a special message, he will ask for a constitutional amendment to set a national voting age of 18. Johnson told the youth group that the voting proposal would go a long way towards closing the generation gap. At the same time, he warned the youngsters that the difference between “those who carry responsibility and those who are allowed to stand on the sidelines.” “The ballot box is the great anvil of a democracy— it’s there that the real voice of our democracy speaks out,” Johnson said. Johnson estimated that if a constitutional amendment to lower the voting age is approved that 10 million young men and women would be affected. The President said that the voting age proposal was “a national affirmation of faith in our youth.” He said “we live in a world that is young and a world that is growing younger and no nation has been more faithfully served by its youth than America.” The President first proposed lowering the voting age in a commencement address May 29 at Texas Christian University at Fort Worth, Tex.

surance business once again. He has had a 34-year career in law enforcement, beginning with the state police as a clerk at the age of 19. He then rose through the ranks of chief clerk, trooper, detective, captain of detectives, major, executive officer, acting superintendent and twice superintendent. A Democrat, O’Neal first resigned as superintendent shortly after the beginning of the Republican administration of former Gov. George N. Craig in 1953. He entered the insurance business but returned to law enforcement the next year when he was elected Marion County Sheriff. O’Neal was serving as U.S. marshal for the Southern District of Indiana in 1965 when he was named superintendent again by Branigin. Branigin has the sole author, ity to name O’Neal’s replacement. Possible successors include Maj. Cecil Melvin, a Republican and the assistant superintendent for police services; Maj. Arthur Raney, a Democrat and assistant superintendent for support services, and Capt. James Peva, commander of the state police executive division chief legal counsel for the department and administrative aide to O’Neal.

WASHINGTON (UPI)—The Senate gave final congressional approval Monday to legislation to set four additional three-day holiday weekends. The bill would make the Washington’s Birthday observance fall on the third Monday of February rather than Feb. 22; Memorial day on the last Monday in May instead of May 30; Columbus Day on the second Monday in October instead of Oct. 12, and Veterans Day the fourth Monday in October instead of Nov. 11. A fifth three-day holiday is the Labor Day weekend. Labor Day has always fallen on the first Monday in September. Also unchanged from the current observnace are these holidays: New Year’s Day (Jan. 1), Independence Day (July 4), Thanksgiving Day (last Thursday of November) and Christ, mas Day (Dec. 25). The bill makes Columbus Day an official federal holiday for the first time. The legislation would apply only to federal employes and the district of Columbia, effective, Jan. 1, 1970.

Sells resigns BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPI)— Dallas Sells, president of the Indiana AFL-CIO since 1958, announced Saturday he will resign effective July 1. Sells, of Indianapolis, made the announcement at the closing banquet of the five-day, AFL-CIO summer school at Indiana University. He said he felt he must resign in view of “problems on the national level.” Sells is a member of the United Auto Workers which was suspended from the AFL-CIO on May 15. He maintained his AFL-CIO position at that time by taking out a card in the meatcutters union the day before the UAW voted to stop supporting the AFL-CIO. Sell said he would continue to work for the UAW and head the United Labor Committee for the re-election of Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind. Sign accord BERLIN (UPI)—The East German press Monday reported signing of a new aid agreement between the Communist government and North Vietnam. The deal, reached Sunday, provides shipment of East German goods to Hanoi and includes a longterm credit arrangement.

Say no sweat on bombing halt

PARIS (UPI)—Communist diplomatic sources argued today President Johnson can order a full halt to American bombing of North Vietnam without suffering political consequences at home. The Communist spokesmen took the line in the aftermath of the rejection—by Hanoi’s delegates to the current preliminary Vietnam war talks—of calls by Pope Paul VI and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey for a cease fire. Xuay Thuy, head of the North Vietnamese delegation, told an Anglo-American press luncheon Monday there can be no cease fire until all American air raids are stopped unconditionally. Neutral Asian and African diplomats said they considered Thuy’s curt rejection of the

cease fire proposals a major diplomatic error. They said it would encourage influential U.S. political circles who claim no arrangements can be made with the Communists. American and North Vietnamese negotiators hold their 10th session Wednesday. The talks, which started May 13 in an attempt to scale down the fighting and allow full dress negotiations, have made no progress. The American side has insisted the North Vietnamese reduce the intensity of fighting in response to a partial bombing halt ordered by President Johnson March 31.

He is destined for FortDevens, Mass., when his leave is over. German problem to movies By PATRICK HARDEN REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) — A movie theater was the meeting place Monday for North Atlantic Treaty Organization ministers grappling with a new Communist threat to West Berlin. Representatives of the 15nation defense organization gathered in one of the few buildings in this small nation large enough to accommodate the delegates to their annual summer ministerial session. The problem of an East German squeeze through new travel restrictions on West Berlin was expected to dominate the ministers’ discussions, which continue through Wednesday. NATO sources said conference action would include the drafting of a stiff protest to the Soviet Union, holding Moscow responsible for the harassment. Young demonstrators protested the NATO presence in Iceland Sunday night. Several hundred of them marched in icy winds the 25 miles from the U.S Naval Base at Keflavik to Reykjavik and conducted a rally near a Communist center in the Icelandic capital. In several running scuffles with police, several dozen demonstrators were arrested and hauled away in paddy wagons. Police kept them from the movie house. The NATO sources said the protest to the Soviet Union would warn Moscow the new moves against West Berlin would hamstring efforts to relax tensions and improve East-West relations. They said it was expected to <fce improved and included in the conference’s final communique. “The declaration is aimed at Russia rather than East Germany,” a spokesman said. “Russia can influence East Germany’s actions.” The NATO nations already have reacted to the West Berlin squeeze by approving counter, measures making it more difficult for East Germans to travel to NATO countries. Secretary of State Dean Rusk of the United States announced Sunday after conferring with Foreign Minister Willy Brandt of West Germany that he will travel to Bonn Wednesday to assure Chancellor Kurt George Kiesinger of continued U.S support on the Berlin issue. Drowing victims HELSINKI (UPI) — Author!ties Monday reported 24 drowning victims during the three-day “midsummer” holiday. At least six people were killed in traffic accidents.

DEAR HELOISE: For the past four years I have prepared corn-on-the-cob for freezing by running a bushel at a time in my dishwasher (no detergent!). After the ears are shucked and cleaned, I stack ’em against the dish racks and along the glass racks so that the water can reach each ear. The number of hot W'ater cycles needed to blanch them, depends on the size of the corn. I stop the washer and take them out before the drying cycle starts. As soon as they are finished, I put them in ice water and then in plastic bags for freezing. Dorothy Colletti * * * Wish you had let us in on this sneaky idea before, pal. That’s tops in my book. Don’t get absent-minded and add any detergent though! Just clear water only. Ileloise ♦ * * DEAR HELOISE: I run a shoe repair shop and this is the way we solve the problem of squeaky shoes. Take them to a shoe repair shop and have them remove the sole or heel (depending on where the squeak is), cement a piece of cloth between the two pieces of leather so as to stop the binding of the two pieces then reattach the sole or heel. Shoe Service * * * DEAR HELOISE: Our sister’s barrettes were always being mislaid. We finally came up with a great idea! We took a small board, painted it to match her room and drove a dozen or so large U-shaped brads part way in. Now she just slips the clasp part of each barrette through a brad and they hang there neat and orderly. The Unholy Three ♦ * * DEAR HELOISE: For years I’ve struggled opening jars and usually wound up handing them to my spouse for his brute strength. Then a few weeks ago I grabbed my rubber gloves and, miracle of miracles, with one twist the lid was off. Why didn’t I think of it before ? Juanita English

You just got there first, kiddo! Glad I’m not running you a race today. I’d lose . . . Heloise

DEAR HELOISE: When answering a letter that was written on paper, turn the letter over and use the back for your carbon copy instead of onion skin paper. Then you have the original letter and the answer all on one sheet of paper. Certainly saves on filing space and no stapling or clipping required, either. D. H. N.

Well, I’ll be! You are the greatest. Heloise ♦ * * LETTER OF THOUGHT DEAR HELOISE: Why do sheets have to have a atmill hem on one end and a hiri/i hem on the other? With the same size hems at both ends, it seems to me the wear would be more even and we wouldn’t have the idea we had the bottom of the sheet at the top of the bed. Mrs. R Kelley * * * Hope somebody conics out with that Idea. Heloise DEAR HELOISE: I make toasted bread cups instead of patty shells. It’s easier and less expensive. I cut the crusts off soft white bread. Butter both sides of the slices and stuff them into muffin tins. Then bake at 400 degrees for ten minutes. Absolutely delish filled with creamed chicken or chipped beef. Mrs. H. Helgersen Forms stopgap ROME (UPI)Premier-desig-nate Giovanni Leone formed a stopgap minority cabinet Monday to end 1 Italy’s 19-day old government crisis. The 23-man cabinet was composed entirely of Christian Democrats and, on the whole, leaned to the right. It depends for survival on support or abstention by the Socialists in a parliament test expected next week. Leone, 59, presented his cabinet list to President Giuseppe Saragat five days after Saragat entrusted him with the task of trying to form a government. The president planned to swear in the new cabinet Tuesday. Leone faced bitter opposition from the powerful Communists both in parlimanet and in the country. The Communists, angry at being refused a share in the government, have threatened to step up labor and student unrest which has troubled Italy for the past several months. Leone was forced to set up a weak one-party government after the Socialists refused to rejoin the center-left coalition with the Christian Democrats after losing to the Communists in general elections May 19-20. The Socialists charged Christian Democratic footdragging on social reform for their losses at the polls.

Poor gal...she bought the pattern to fit the wrong thing! You can have a perfect fit. It’s a lot easier than you think. But there are a few tricks. For instance: it’s far easier to adjust a waist than hips. Most people buy the pattern to fit the wrong thing.
