To reprint or not is $75,000 question

By HORTENSE MYERS INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Supreme Court was left holding the $75,000 question today after a new round of ballot passing. At noon Friday, the Indiana Appellate Court had both the Republican and Socialist Labor Party suits which involved reprinting the Nov. 5 ballot. The GOP sponsored action seeks to force the Indiana Election Board to add a third supreme court judgeship. The Socialist Labor suit seeks to add its entire national and state ticket which had been barred earlier from the ballot by the election board. The cost of reprinting the ballots would be at least $75,000 according to election board clerk Edward Bell. At mid-afternoon the Appellate Court ruled 5-3 that the state election board should recall, reprint, and redistribute the election ballots so as to include the Socialist Labor ticket, and action that would make it the fifth party on the state ticket and the sixth on the national ticket in Indiana. Court Divided At the same timt the Appellate Court divided 4-4 on political lines on the GOP suit to

place the choice of a successor to Supreme Court Judge Don. aid R. Mote on the Nov. 5 bal. lot. At first, Chief Justice Joseph O. Carson of the Appellate Court said the tie vote would mean the judgeship question would go back to the supreme eourt which had it Monday and returned it to the Appellate Court. But this original order was withdrawn and a new one filed which left the question of the next step up to the Republicans. By nightfall the state election board had instructed Atty. Gen. John J. Dillon to proceed immediately to transfer the Social, ist Labor case to the Indiana Supreme Court and to ask for a stay of execution. The Supreme Court to which the question goes consists of three Democrats and two Republicans. Governor Branigin Monday had appointed Steuben Circuit Court Judge Roger O. DeBruler as successor to Mote, who was a Republican. Since DeBruler is a Democrat, Branigin’s appoint, ment changed the political control on the supreme Court. The Republicans had picked Benton Circuit Court Judge Everett West as candidate for Mote’s successor. Continued On Page 4

Lt. Gov. Rock attends county Demo feed; Bayh pays visit

by SHAUN HIGGINS Staff Reporter Lt. Governor Robert Rock listed three major areas of concern in his campaign for the state’s highest office Saturday night at the Putnam County Democrat rally at the fairgrounds. Rock, a Democrat, has campaigned largely on the issues of increased industrialization and tourism in Indiana. When questioned Saturday, however, he gave government revision high priority on his list of projects. Lt. Governor Rock outlined his ideas on future areas of concern in his campaign for the Governor’s office at a Putnam County Democrat barbecue Saturday. “Of course one of the first things we must consider is the structure of state government,” the Democrat candidate said. Rock advocates a revision of state consitiution of statutory laws. He said he would also like to see a group of advisers, similar to the President’s cabinet around the governor in Indianapolis. “Roads are a definite concern,” Rock said. “With more cars and more drivers on the roads we must keep building and repairing our highways.” Rock said education would also be a major concern of his administration. In an exclusive interview Rock Named scholar of the year TERRE HAUTE, IND, — Special William Dodge, a June graduate of Rose Polytechnic Institute, has been named Scholar of the Year at the annual meeting of the grand chapter of Sigma Nu social fraternity. Dodge, of Cloverdale, was grad, uated from Rose with “high honors” in June and currently is working in General Electric in Roanoke, Va. He was chosen to the honor over six other finalists at the recent convention in Denver. The Sigma Nu man of the year and outstanding athlete were also named.

told the Daily Banner he did not feel his support of Senator Eugene McCarthy for the Democratic presidential nomination had hurt his support in Indiana. “My fairness with the McCarthy people and of course with the Kennedy people has helped my campaign rather than hurt it,” he said. Rock explained he had considered and respected all points of view and had the support of most members from the three major divisions in the Democratic party. Rock also stated he did not have a stand on the pari-mutuel betting issue which will confront Indiana voters Nov. 5. A state-wide referendum will be taken on the subject at that time. The decision on pari-mutuels will be decided largely by the people on election day.Thelegislature will decide the issue on the voteofthepeople,’’Rockcom-

mented. Rock spoke at a Democratic fund-raising barbecue which was attended by over 300 persons. Rock’s opponent in the upcoming election is Secretary of State Edgar D. Whitcomb, a Republican from Seymour. Earlier in the day less than 50 people gathered at the fairNamed to Dean’s list Howell George Henry, son of Mr. and Mrs, Hugh F.

Cardinal fans give out with a ‘Hoot’ for McLain’s organ-pitching talent

BY MARK STEELE They all laughed when I sat down to play. Those may be the words of Detroit pitcher Denny McLain the next time he sits at the organ. McLain, a 31-game winner during the regular season has found the World Series another ball-game. Cardinal fans feel he ought to spend more time playing the organ which he does. But an array of Cardinal batters in two outings against the St. Louis ball club in the series hasn’t left McLain in any mood to play a musical instrument. After losing the series opener to the Cardinals’ Bob “Hoot” Gibson 4-0, McLain couldn’t wait for their second meeting at Detroit. But as in the first game, McLain didn’t have his stuff. McLain was the first of six pitchers to face the Cardinal batting order yesterday. He was greeted by Lou Brock, the series most outstanding player, who slammed the second McLain pitch over the wall in left center for a home run. Commenting on Brock’s base stealing before the series, Mc-

Lain said “one way to keep Brock from stealing besides keeping him off the bases is to let him hit a home run.” McLain and the Tiger pitching staff has had very little success at both. Speedster, Brock has gathered eight stolen bases in the first four games and has been on base eight of his last 11 times at bat. Sunday’s win for Gibson set a World Series record of seven consecutive victories and seven complete games. Jim Northrup’s fourth inning home run was the only spoiler in Gibson’s two pitching performances. Gibson didn’t get the victory easy Sunday. His ball control flared up in the early stages of the first two innings. However, a rain delay of 74-minutes helped the control problem, then it was all a matter of keeping his self-control while the Tigers put on a stall exhibition, in hopes of having the game called because of the rain. The Cardinal’s unloaded 10 runs for a 10-1 vicotry for a 3-1 lead and now it’s up to Detroit to send the series back to St. Louis.
