cent pay increase, the original offer made by the Marion City Council last week. The 59-member police force was on strike for less than an hour Monday night when a restraining order preventing them from picketing or failing to perform their duties or threatening to do so was obtain, ed by Mayor Gene Moore and city attorney Lloyd Cochran. The policemen voted for the strike Monday night in an effort to get fringe benefits and $100 per month salary increase per

man.

The Tuesday night agreement with the city council also provides for a $60 additional clothing allowance. It states that both parties will attempt to negotiate as of January, 1969, in an attempt to review with good faith the salary and fringe benefits program of the department for 1970, and the police agreed they would not strike until parties have negotiated in good faith until after June, 1969. Prior to the agreement, the wage for a patrolman was $5,959.92 per year. The city council first offered the five per cent increase at a meeting a week ago Tuesday, but it was rejected.

Cadou’s column

By EUGENE J. CADOU INDIANAPOLIS (UPI ) - Former Alabama Gov. George Wallace is sure to invade Indiana one of these days in his bid for president of the United States on an independent ticket. This state is fair game for him because he won nearly 30 per cent of the vote in the 1964 Democratic primary against popular Gov. Matthew E. Welsh, and carried the Democratic citadel of Lake County and adjoining Porter County, usually a Republican ballot. Wallace is dangerous to both Democratic and Republican leaders because he undoubtedly appeals to a white backlash vote which has not diminished following the riots in the streets of many large cities, and housing complications since that time. Wallace is hard to pin down, although observers' know that his prime strength is among voters who fear black power. When questioned along that line, Wallace retreats into an assertion that he is interested primarily in rights of the state against encroaching federal powers. Demonstrations Help The opposition to Wallace in the 1964 primary was handled rather stupidly. Wallace thrives on demonstrations against him which include rocking his automobile, organized walkouts from his meetings, picketing with signs and shouting which inter, rupts his discourses. Most of these inane tactics, detrimental to free speech which the campus liberals loudly proclaim, have been staged by weird students of Indiana and Purdue Universities and the University of Notre Dame. Strangely, the only fair treatment Wallace received was when he addressed students of Vincennes University in the home town of Governor Welsh, his primary adversary. There is a great field for Hoosier university officials to teach fair play and concern for the other person’s viewpoint to their immature pupils, who have become rampant despite no practical experience in the world, no independence while still on the payroll of Mom and Dad, and only a smattering of knowledge of national and world affairs in which they seem to profess to be expert thinkers. Rebellion Against Brats The resignation of Dr. Elvis J. Stahr as president of Indiana University is a straw in the wind. He was not firm against student inter nation of a speech 'by Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other stupid campus tactics. He permitted the students of both sexes to gad about in the rooms of others of the opposite sex, which is a bizarre relief at best from campus demonstrating. A rebellion of members of the board of trustees, very hushhush and undercover, however, and parents, chiefly of coeds, followed. Stahr, professing fatigue, left his job.

THE LEAD CHARACTERS in "South Pacific" are portrayed by Don South, as Emile, and Romilda Hamontre, as Nellie. The

musical comedy was a Broadway hit and popular movie several years ago. It was written by Rogers and Hammerstein, who also created the romance of "Oklahoma."

Report no progress on peace talks

By GEORGE SIBERA PARIS (UPI)—U.S. negotiator W. Averell Harriman said today the Viet Cong halt in shelling Saigon is not enough of a peaceful gesture to end American bombing of North Vietnam. Harriman made the statement to newsmen moments before entering the 13th session of U.S.-North Vietnam talks designed to cool down the Vietnam war enough to permit a full peace conference. “They have not shelled Saigon, I think, for practically a month,” Harriman said. “That may have some significance. I think it does. But one does not know whether they will start again.” Asked if the shelling halt can be reckoned a Communist gesture of peace worthy of ending U.S. bombing, Harriman said, “I haven’t thought of it as such because they started these outrageous shellings after the President’s message of March 31. “It is hardly reciprocity to stop an escalation which they took since the President’s act of material deescalation of the fighting,” he said. President Johnson on March 31, bidding Hanoi come to the conference table, halted all U.S. bombing of North Vietnam except for the southern panhandle supply lines.

The talks here have been deadlocked since they opened April 13 because the North Vietnamese refuse to discuss anything until the United States ends all bombing of their country. Xuan Thuy, the chief Hanoi delegate, did not attend today’s session. An aide said Thuy is suffering a “slight indisposition.” Thuy’s chief lieutenant,

VALPARAISO, Ind. (UPI)— Indiana farmers can expect somewhat lower grain prices and slightly higher livestock returns in the next year, accord, ing to a Purdue University agri. cultural economist. J. William Uhrig told the annual Indiana Farm Management Tour banquet at Valparaiso University that an economic slowdown appears likely for the nation next year. Although the cost of living will continue to rise, Uhrig said, it will rise at a slower pace than this year, and the national unemployment rate will edge upward to four per cent. Uhrig predicted a gross national product of about $900 billion in 1969, a gain of 6 to 6.5 per cent over 1968. “Corn prices are expected to fall below loan price at harvest — based on present crop condi-

Harriman told newsmen before the session that the Viet Cong rocket and mortar shelling of Saigon may have ended because of the “vigorous position we have taken here against the indiscriminate shelling and inhuman, barbaric attacks on the people of Saigon.”

tions—and may range from 90 cents to $1 a bushel for No. 2 corn at the peak of harvest,” he said. “A discount of three cents per point for excess moisture would mean a price of 75 to 80 cents a bushel on a wet corn basis at harvest.” “Wheat prices at harvest have been the lowest in 26 years. However, a 1969 wheat acreage reduction and producer holding at less-than.loan prices provide the asis for a post, harvest price increase sufficien to make storage attractive,’ Uhrig said. He said the 1968 soybean crop prices would be “closely tied to the government loan structure.” They will fall below price at harvest but increase later, rang, ing for the year probably between $2.35 and $2.60 a bushel.
