Personal and Local

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Birch Bayh, D-Ind., demanded of Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman today that nine Indiana counties affected by floods last spring be approved for federal disaster aid. Bayh backed up his demand by sending similar telegrams to President Johnson and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, asking them to help him get the disaster aid status for Benton, Dearborn, Gibson, Greene, Monroe, Owen, Putnam, Rush and Vanderburgh Counties. Bayh said those counties were eliminated from a list of 35 for which funds were sought. The remaining 26 counties were awarded $500,000 for farmer assistance, he said. “The money, according to law, is available for requested purposes and I intend to see to it that Hoosier farmers who qualify are assisted,” Bayh said. Bayh, a candidate for reelection Nov. 5, said his telegram to Freeman was “strongly worded.” He said the need for help for farmers in the nine counties was “legitimate.” The farms, he said, were in many cases “severely damaged as the result of heavy rains and floods.” He said more than $60,000 should be made available to farmers in the nine counties on

a cost-sharing basis “for such purposes as restoring farm lands, removal of debris and fallen trees, and for the replacement of such things as drain tile and privately owned dams.” Counties previously approved for disaster aid were Carroll, Warren, Parke, Vigo, Clay, Morgan, Johnson, Shelby, Henry, Randolph, Wayne, Fayette, Franklin, Bartholomew, Brown, Jennings, Jefferson, Jackson, Lawrence, Martin, Daviess, Pike, Dubois, Posey, Perry and Harrison. Notre Dame invites candidates SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI)— The University of Notre Dame president, Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, today invited the two major presidential nominees to speak here during the election campaign. Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon have visited the campus before. Humphrey spoke at the Center for Continuing Education in 1967 and at a political rally in 1964. Nixon visited the campus in 1952 and 1956. He received the annual Patriotism Award of the school’s senior class in 1960.

The papers informed us that the Republican Convention in Miami was a cut and dried affair and a bore. What can be said of the one just ended in Chicago? If one liked action there was action a plenty inside the barbed wire inclosure and outside it in Lincoln and Grant Parks. A Democrat convention often puts one in mind of what an Irish soldier had to say of his own people as he was fighting in World War I “I’ll tell ye mon we’re bloody fighters and

Igs#;" Wr

when we ain’t fightin the Hun we’re fightin, on anither.” It is certain that there can be no dignity in high places. Let us hope that in the next four years a better way will be found to get a nominee for President. Everywhere today people are exclaiming for law and order, yet when the police lay a hand on the unruly ones the public screams, “Police Brutality.” The cop is damned if he don’t and damned if he does....

-U. S. soldiers Public is fed up with

national conventions

in the northern provinces, making it difficult for both the allies and Communists to position themselves for battle. U.S. headquarters reported only minor skirmishes in one of the war’s usual hot spots. U.S. headquarters said Bess’ high winds forced cancellation Thursday of scheduled air strikes from the three U.S. Navy aircraft carriers off North Vietnam. With Bess dying out, the carriers may be back in business by nightfall. The battle west of Saigon erupted with the Communists opening fire on a flight of U.S, helicopters bringing American cavalrymen into a “hot” landing zone, the war commu-

nique said.

Calling for reinforcements to cut off the Viet Cong escape route, the U.S. soldiers directed dive bombers, helicopter gunships and artillery barrages onto an estimated 400 Communists in jungle foxholes. Early reports said 19 Viet Cong were killed and 21 suspects captured against “light” U.S. losses.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Declaring the American public is fed up with the “antiquated and undemocratic” convention system of picking presidential candidates, Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D-Wis., offered legislation Wednesday to reform or even abolish conventions. Senate majority leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., backed him up, saying he hoped “that the conventions will be ruled out as a means of selecting candidates. “They don’t represent the people,” Mansfield said. “The time has come to take a look at the system.” He said he favored a national primary election to select the two parties’ candidates for the presidency. House Republican leader Gerald R. Ford agreed with

Mansfield and Nelson that the convention system might need some improvement, but said it had a valid place in the nation’s political workings. Nelson told the Senate that he thought “a majority of the American public is fed up with our quadrennial political party conventions.” The bill he proposed would create a 30-member commission which by Aug. 1, 1969, would present Congress with either a plan for a nationwide presidential primary or a reformed convention system or a system combining both a primary and conventions. The commission Nelson proposed would include one appointee each 'by the three Republican and three leading Democratic contenders for the presidential nominations this year— Richard M. Nixon, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, Gov. Ronald Reagan of Califor. nia, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, Sen. Eugene J, McCarthy, D-Minn., and Sen. George S.

DEAR DOLLIES: Has washday gotcha down? Are you discouraged with the looks of the I a u n d r y you’ve turned out ? Well then, listen to what our friends at the American Institute of Laundering have to say . . . “The use of IIAKI) water in washing not only increases the COST of washing, but makes it practically impossible to remove dirt satisfactorily and to retain the original texture, softness and color of the fabric. “When fabrics are washed in hard water, insoluble calcium and magnesium soaps are formed which adhere to the fabrics and eventually cause a stiffened and discolored condition accompanied by a rancid odor. And colored articles washed with hard water lose their brightness. Also, “Inder home washing conditions, when hard water is used, the soap consumption can be easily four or five hundred |>er cent of the amount used in the professional laundry for the same weight of clothes." You see gals, hard water is not only bad for our clothes and linens, but increases the amount of soap we use—takes so much more to do the job. So make sure the cause of your laundry problems is not the water itselt. You’ll not only save extra work and money, but it’ll put a sparkle in your eyes when you see that brighter wash! Bless you, lleloise DEAR HELOISE: I am bedridden at the moment and have to apply hot. wet compresses to my leg'. Rather than have someone always running upstairs to keep me supplied with hot water. I'm making my own. I'm using an electric coffee pot that we keep as an extra to use when we have company. I took out all the insides, filled it with water and let it get steaming hot. Pour it in a basin, then dip a rolled up hand towel in the hot water, wring it out a little when it gets ccol enough to handle and hold it on my leg. I’m pretty self-sufficient but I do keep my daughter’? rub-ber-topped baton that I can “thump" on the floor for attention when it’s needed from downstairs. A Reader LETTER OF LAUGHTER DEAR HELOISE: If you have dentures that hurt or just won’t stay in place . . ; try taking a bite of a prune or apricot and let it “soak" a bit in your mouth. Then put it under those plates! They stick. ‘Course, you might taste the fruit once in a while but it tastes good all day. P. F. :!: * * DEAR HELOISE: Our son wall leave for college soon. I just finished stamping and addressing several envelopes for him addressed to me. Enclosed in each envelope is a blank sheet of paper. I'm hoping this convenience wall help him write more often Mis.

Makes it smoother, too. lleloise

DEAR HELOISE: I do alterations and have a number of women ask if I can mend covered belt buckles. There is no way I know of doing this. But I do find that if I paint the back side of the buckle with clear nail polish when new. it holds the edges and I have less trouble with the cover coming off. Mildred Weydig

Robert L. Rock Wednes. day accused Republicans of per. mitting state park facilities to “fall into disrepair” by cutting operating funds “simply to em. barrass Governor Branigin.” Rock said in a statement here while campaigning for governor that the Democrats wanted to keep up the facilities and provided for such upkeep in their proposed budget but the 1967 Legislature’s House Ways and Means Committee slashed the amounts. Rock said tourists in Indiana will spend nearly $1 billion this year, including $21 million in Hoosier taxes.
