Chicken, cotton candy part of P.R. Mallory annual picnic

By Dennis Abell Fried chicken, potato salad, pony rides, cotton candy, poprock music and horseshoe pitching, were all a part of the P.R. Mallory Company's annual employee picnic held Saturday at Robe-Ann Park. More than 1,100 employees and their familes gathered at the park starting at 11 a.m. The long line of attenders strung around and through one of the park’s larger shelter houses. Large buckets of “whats" his. names” chicken filled a station wagon. The city’s garbage truck was on hand to haul away the bones. There were several. The employees even watched themselves on television. A photographer took film of the happenings and then replayed it over a portable television set

in the shelter house by means of a video tape. The food line was nearly gone by 2 p.m. when the employes turned from the picnic table to the horseshoe pit. The younger set took up dancing in another shelter house. Cotton candy was available in another shelter house, while pony rides caught the fancy of the youngest set with the exception of one rather tall company official who could not resist the ride. For the braver set, the swimming pool was available, but few tried dips in the cool water. Bingo games were in progress all afternoon. The food included 80 barrels of chicken, 600 hotdogs, 16 pounds of potato chips, eight hams and gallons of carbonated drinks.

S. servicemen and servicewomen stationed in Vietnam at Christmas time. The chapter here has been asked by the national organization to make and fill 200 bags. The bags are to be made of sturdy red and green cotton material, so they will be serviceable to their owners after the original contents are used.

Agency will be formed to curb civil riots, disorder

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI ) — Creation of a planning agency by Governor Branigin is expected soon to map programs for control of civil riots and disorders. Indiana, which this week received $103,200 in fed. eral funds for such programs, will qualify for another $400,000 after the agency is created and goes to work. The grants covered nine projects covering a variety of uses ranging from purchase of flak vests to reduction of tension in urban communities. David Allen, Branigin’s administrative assistant and member of the Indiana Police Board, said that all recommendations received by the Aug. 26 deadline had been granted with a few changes. These included a reduction in the Muncie request for “general modernization” which would have cost a Open house for GOP headquarters Robert Poor, Putnam County Republican chairman announced today that the GOP headquarters will be officially opened in downtown Greencastle this week and that an official open house will be held Friday night from 7 to 9 p.m. County candidates will be on hand to meet the public.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The top-level governmental battle over whether Vietnam War protesters should be drafted as punishment has flared again with the Justice Department aiming new criticism at Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey. It said such reclassifications are not only illegal, they may be unconstitutional as well. In a painfully polite but unusually detailed brief, the department said local draft boards have illegally reclassified some war protesters by ordering their inductions. In a step unusual for government legal briefs, the Justice Department outlined Hershey’s views on the question, then disputed them. “It is difficult to believe that Congress intended the local boards to have the unfettered discretion to decide that any violation of the act or regulation and induction, regardless of its relationship to the individual’s status as exempt or deferred or whatever,” the brief said. The department's brief to the Supreme Court dealt specifically with the case of James J. Oestereich, a Cheyenne, Wyo., theological student who has been ordered to report for military service after turning in his draft card at an antiwar demonstration here last year. The Justice Department earArrested The Putnam County Sheriff’s office yesterday arrested 29-year-old Jerry J. Maxey, Terre Haute on charges of theft by deception in connection with a termite ring working in southern Putnam County.

Eleven Junior Life Savers were trained and many of these participated in the Water Safety Aide Course. This Aide course requires a life saving certificate, a Swimmer certificate and two weeks of instruction in swimming techniques. Fourteen new aides were trained this summer. The last four weeks provided instruction in basic and advanced swimming skills to all children eight years old or older. Under the direction of Mrs. Ted Chadd, instructors and aides were ready to work with eighty children for forty-five minute periods beginning at 8:30 each morning. The adults working with the program agreed that the success of the program was due to the enthusiastic and responsible teenagers who work as aides. The Aides who assisted this year were: Mike Huestis, Sally Eppelheimer, Carolyn Walton, Margo Loring, Sally Ricketts, David Smaltz, Leesa Walker, Steve Schneider, Susan Silander, Nancy Fletcher, Mike Hurst, Dennis Clark, Scott Jones, Carol Smaltz, Scott Loring, Mark Huckleberry, Lynn Jackson, Dan Murphy, Ann Walton, Linda Frost, Matt Foxen, and Kathy Madison. The following adults worked with the program this year; Pat Chadd, Marilyn Jackson, Pat Denny, Marilyn Clearwater, Skip Sutton, Linda Reeves, Jean Collins, Stacia Chadd, Cathy Walton, George Martin, Patty Longden and Loy Madison.

lier had taken the position that the Cheyenne Draft Board had no right to change Oestereich’s classification because all students preparing for the ministry are legally draft exempt. The Supreme Court will hear the case of Oestereich, a student at Andover Newton Theological Seminary at Newton Centre, Mass., in its term beginning next month. White named new university vice president Russell E. White, assistant chancellor for business and finance at the Green Bay campus of the University of Wisconsin, has been named vice president for finance at the University of Chattanooga, according to an announcement made by UC President William H.

Should war protesters receive draft as penalty

Nixon in LBJ country

By United Press International Richard M. Nixon, stumping in LBJ country, says Hubert H. Humphrey offers more of the same policies which have “frittered away the greatest military power in history in a policy of piecemeal escalation.” Campaigning in Texas in a bid to take conservative votes from both parties away from third-party candidate George C. Wallace, Nixon said the Democrats, by nominating Humphrey, are just pushing a continuation of Johnson administration policies. The administration, he said, has presided over a time when the crime rate has escalated nine times the rate of the population and spending policies have sharply increased economic woes. “Rather than government housing, government welfare and government jobs, let’s provide incentives for private

enterprise to go into the slums and create the employment that will build in human dignity rather than continue human dependency,” he said. He also said “the time has come” for other nations to carry some of the burden of defending “freedom of the world.” In other political developments: Humphrey — Preparing to start his campaign formally Monday, the vice president called again in Waverly, Min., for Congress to suspend the Federal Communications Com. mission’s “equal time” regulation which requires broadcasters to invite minor candidates to share equal broadcast time with major presidential candidates. Humphrey wants to debate Nixon and Nixon has expressed willingness to do so, but the equal time clause may stand in the way.

Wallace—the third-party candidate continued to fire speculation as to who his running mate will be by pouring praises on former baseball Commissioner and Kentucky Gov. A. B. “Happy” Chandler, but refused to name his selection. Meanwhile, a spokesman said Wallace’s name will appear on the November ballot in 49 and perhaps all 50 states. Edmund S. Muskie—The Democratic vice presidential can. didate met with President Johnson Friday to discuss “several subjects” and received a foreign policy briefing at the State Department from Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Spiro T. Agnew—Campaigning in New Jersey, the GOP vice presidential nominee denied Friday night he is “a hard liner on law and order” and blamed the Democrats for the “climate of lawlessness” in the country.
