Playing bingo, Wednesday, was the novel ideal of Miss Terrie Kendall, student teacher in French for Mrs. Madge Lynch. The game was played by her seventh hour students, but instead of numbers, French ex. pressions and words were used. F.H.A. will hold initiation for - all new members on Thursday, October 17. The initiates will be asked to wear to school red and white ribbons on their blouses and to paint their thumbnails red. Sponsors for F.H.A. are Miss McClure and Mrs. Baugh. Friday, October 11, the first and second hour Civics classes at the high school went to Gobin Church to hear a symposium on law and order presented by Sydney Hooker, Mayor Hatcher of Gary, Indiana, and Me George Bundy, President of the Ford Foundation. Mr. C.R. Gont, director of Admssions from the Indiana Business College, spoke to the Busi. ness Club yesterday during homeroom about opportunities available to secretaries, accountants, stenographers, bookkeepers, typists, receptionists, and business machine operators. Volcanic Benefits WASHINGTON <UPD—Volennoes are not unmixed disasters. Despite the destruction they cause, says the National Geographic Society, they provide many benefits. For example, they build mountains that draw rainfall and temper climates: create land areas such as Hawaii and Japan: bring soil-enriching minerals from the bowels of the earth, and in some parts of the world supply heat for wanning homes or powering machines.

The G-Club met Tuesday morning to elect the council. They are as follows: Rick Mount, cross country; Rick Bundy, golf; Dan Murphy, football; Dennis Losin, basketball; Marc Monnett,wrestling; Darryl Pierce, baseball; and Doug Smith, track. The G-

BALTIMORE (UPI)— A spectator rose in the courtroom and shouted . . . “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you have just found Jesus Christ guilty.” The nine defendants, all Roman Catholics convicted of burning draft board records, stood listening to the verdict, then broke softly into song. “We shall overcome, we shall overcome, we shall overcome some day, so-oome day ...” The defendants, known as the “Catonsville nine,” were found guilty Thursday in federal court of all charges stemming from the burning of draft records last May in the Selective Service office at suburban Catonsville in a protest over the Vietnam war. Act of Conscience The defendants called it “an act of conscience.” The government said it was a “crime” against the state. The jury decided for the prosecution. Each of the nine faces a prison term of up to 18 years, and a fine of as much as $22,000. Judge Roszel Thomsen set bail for seven of them at $5,000 each and said he would impose sentence Nov. 8. The judge ordered the seven to appear before him today to outline terms of freedom on bail.

Club is sponsored by Coach MeCracken. Fifteen members of the G.H.S. Student Council will serve as ushers at the Putnam County Guidance Conference Monday, October 14.

The other two already were serving six-year federal prison terms for pouring blood on draft board records in Baltimore Oct. 27. They were the Rev. Philip Berrigan, 45, a Josephite priest, and Thomas Lewis, 28, an artist. Another of the defendants was the Rev. Daniel Berrigan, 47, brother of Philip and a Jesuit priest formerly associate chaplain at Cornell University. Welcomes Conviction “This is the greatest day of my life,” Father Daniel Berrigan said at the verdict. The defense took no part in selecting the jury. Chief defense counsel William Kunstler said the defendants “think they cannot get justice from any jury. They essentially have no faith in the jury system.” The defense made no attempt to deny the nine burned the records. But in his closing argument, Kunstler said they were obeying a “higher law.” Assistant U.S. Atty. Arthur Murphy, a Negro and chief prosecutor, compared their action to that of a group of Negroes who might decide “because of the real injustice suffered by the Negro, to burn up all the records in city hall.”

WATCHDOG — Seventh District Congressman John Myers (R-Ind.), left, accepts the "Watchdog of the Treasury" award from John C. Mason, President of the National Associated Businessmen, in honor of the Congressman's 100 percent economy voting record for the 90th Congress. In congratulating Congressman Myers, Mr Mason said his votes against inflationary spending merit the appreciation of the voters who sent him to Washington. The trophy, a golden bulldog on a walnut base, was awarded in special ceremonies on Capitol Hill. Take a break

NEW YORK ' UPI»—People who ride long distances in planes, trains and buses without taking exercise breaks may find themselves suffering from a new kind of problem—vacation emboli. This is the same thing, medically, as pulmonary embolism, the formation of a blood clot that gathers in the veins and spreads to the lungs, causing illness and death.

Vacation emboli is related to blood pooling in leg veins of people sitting still for long periods. A report on the problem —particularly common in this jet age when overnight travel i^ accomplished while the passenger is sleeping upright in a tight tourist-class seat — was published in “Medical World News,” the weekly news magazine of medicine.

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) — I haven’t decided what to call this movie scenario I am working on, but the tentative title is “1 Was a Fugitive from the House Sergeant at Arms.” It is loosely based on a real life incident that took place Wednesday morning in the House of Representatives, otherwise known as “Stalag21.” —Cong The Communists previously used the 140mm rockets only against military bases in northern sections of South Vietnam. U.S. Americal Division troops in Quang Ngai province today ended a six-day drive named Logan Field. American spokes, men said 14 guerrillas had been killed. U.S losses included 13 men killed and 66 wounded. During the rocket strikes, the guerrillas also raided the Binh Son refugee camp in the same province. They burned a Roman Catholic Church and a Buddhist Pagoda. Further north, U.S. jet fighter.bombers Sunday flew 135 missions against North Vietnam’s southern panhandle. Pilots said they hit 28 supply boats, 14 trucks, four bridges and three warehouses. River Battle 7 To the south, U.S. land, sea and air forces today battled a Viet Cong unit caught on a river bank, American spokesmen said. The fighting has raged since Sunday when a 9th Infantry Division patrol spotted the guerrillas and drove them across rice paddies. U.S. Army helicopter gunships and Navy patrol boats converged on the tributary of the Mekong River, hitting the Viet Cong from one side as the infantrymen attacked from the other. The battling marked an allied drive against the guerilla bands moving around the capital, attacking small posts. U.S. B52 Stratofortresses Sunday dropped 450 tons of bombs on Viet Cong attack routes 25, 31 and 40 miles north of Saigon. South Vietnamese troops killed another 40 Viet Cong and captured 12 more in a Sunday fight 92 miles below Saigon. Far north of Saigon, in the An Hoa Valley, South Vietnamese Army troops chased the rem. nants of an 8,000-man North Anniversary ROME 'UPI' — A solemn high Mass was celebrated at the Church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva for the 300th anniversary of the canonization of St. Rosa of Lima, patron saint of the Americas. The commemoration organized by the Peruvian Embassy to the Holy See was attended by Vatican dignitaries and members of the diplomatic corps. Adventist Link To Servicemen WASHINGTON (UPI>—Sev-enth-day Adventist churches in the United States have earmarked $102,000. received in a nationwide offering for servicemen. for literature for men overseas or who are just going into the service. —Bishop when the newly elected President assumes office on January 20th, he is going to have to “reassess” the role of this country as the world guarantor of national borders. When the last hot gun has been fired in Vietnam, why shouldn’t the Communists start a similar action to “liberate” Thailand? Or India? Turkey? The “reassessment,” in the face of general disgust in this country, may go far beyond Vietnam. It may have to embrace all of Asia and the Middle East. Ironically, there are only two options: continue to bleed and spend to maintain leadership of the Free World, or blunt the eagle’s beak and chain him to his tree. The postwar histories of almost all modern wars prove that the adversaries misjudged each other’s intentions. Each side was certain that the other isdt would not engage in mortal conflict over a small matter like Serbia (1914) or the Polish Corridor (1939). John F. Kennedy avoided this error when he told the Soviet Union that any missile coming out of Cuba would be regarded by the U.S. as having been fired by the Soviet Union. There was no misjudgment of American intentions. Russia pulled its missiles out. Of one thing we may be sure in 1969. The world will watch closely to see whether we, or the Asians, lose what is loosely called face...

At that time, as you know, House leaders locked the doors of the chamber in an effort to keep a quorum on hand. One member, however, escaped temporarily. Given the proper Hollywood treatment, I am confident this could be made into a great movie. In the opening scene we see the congressional captives mill-

Vietnamese division retreating from the American Special Forces camp at Thuong Due. The camp had been under siege for 15 days. The North Vietnamese before dawn Sunday tried two final assaults against the mushrooming allied force mustered in the Thuong Due area. The allies killed more than 40 Communists before the North Vietnamese began falling back. “I believe there is now no longer any danger to the Thuong Due camp,” a U.S. official told UPI correspondent Ray Wilkinson in the battle area. American spokesmen said at least 400 North Vietnamese died in the campaign around Thuong Due. Allied losses included 22 Americans and 27 South Vietnamese killed. —Bundy merican troops had shown themselves capable of avoiding defeat, they had, likewise, shown themselves incapable of decisive victory. Bundy said, in effect, that Vietnam was not a war to gain victory, but a war to prevent military defeat. The Ford Foundation president stated that he had originally and still agreed with the United State’s original involvement in the war. Now, however, the war had become too costly and had reached a level inconsistent with its goals. Fewer troops, he said, were needed to prevent defeat; more troops would not assure victory, he said. Bundy’s second concern was that the U.S. should seek negotiations but should not expect success at the bargaining table. Finally, he said, the U.S. should be prepared to cut back its spending in Vietnam regardless of the success or failure of bargaining in Paris Peace talks. The former statesman feels that peace in Vietnam is the country’s primary concern and responsible for the domestic unrest in the country. He feels the war is the issue behind the issues in this election year. The Chicago office of CBS news sent reporters and cameramen to Greencastle to cover the speech. Bundy was a close friend of John McNaughton, a Sullivan native, who was named Secretary of Navy prior to his death in an airplane accident in 1967. The Symposium was being held in honor of McNaughton and his wife, Sally, both of whom graduated from DePauw in 1943. Prior to becoming president of the Ford Foundation Bundy taught at Harvard University, served in World War II, and was involved in several research programs. A graduate of Yale University, he entered active government service under the administration of John F. Kennedy. He remained a close advisor to President Johnson following Kennedy’s assassination. Bundy said he felt that at the time of U.S. entry into Vietnam the move was necessary to protect American interests and security in Southeast Asia. Now, however, he feels the cost of the war, both economically and because of its social effects at home, far exceeds its value. He said his objections to escalation of the war did not stem from moral feelings against such action but from a practical viewpoint. “Escalation will not help us,” he stated. —Buckley ever, every bit as detrimental to public order as insults to a judge, and they should be treat, ed as misdemeanors and legally punished. Moreover, if the law fails to provide this protection, we are inviting policemen, who have normal human feelings and failings, to retaliate by less de. sirable means. They are human, and have the same right not to be insulted qua policemen, as Negroes and whites have not to be insulted qua Negroes and Whites.

ing around the aisles. Some are banging tin cups on the tables, signifying that they are getting stir crazy. Inmates Confer The camera zooms in on an Ohio Republican (played by Paul Newman), who is furtively conferring with a couple of his colleagues (played by Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau). “I can’t take this any longer,” Newman says. “We’ve been locked in this hellhole for almost an hour. I’m breaking out.” Lemmon gasps and turns pale. “You don’t stand a chance, pal,” he says. “The speaker has got doormen guarding every exit. It would be suicide to try to escape.” “I know it’s risky,” Newman says, “but anything is better than sitting through another quorum call. They’re worse than the Chinese water tor. ture.” Matthau narrows his eyes. “It might just work,” he says. “I’ve noticed they’ve been letting some of the guys go to the men’s room under escort. The next time they unlock the door maybe you could dash through it.” Plan Escape “Okay,” says Newman. “You two saunter up to the rostrum. When I give the signal, you seize the assistant majority leader (played by Frankie Avalon). You can hold him as a hostage in case anything happens to' me.” Suspense builds as the escape plan unfolds. Shielded by a page boy, Newman makes it through the door and after a thrilling chase down the corridor leaps aboard the last subway car to the Rayburn Office Building. Then he sneaks through the Democratic lines and reaches Dick Nixon (played by John Wayne), who sends in a rescue party led by Spiro Agnew (played by Peter Lawford). In the final scene he is seen embracing his pretty secretary (played by Phyllis Differ).
