The awards from ASCAP are made annually to outstanding composers and authors in all phases of serious music -- symphonic, concert, recital, religious, and educational. Dr. White was among only 150 college-related composers who were picked by the special panel of judges for the ASCAP honor. Within the past year Dr. White has composed “Patterns for Band,” premiered last April by the Eastman School of Music wind ensemble; “Terpsimetrics,” which was commissioned by Doane College in Nebraska. He presently is working on a composition for harpsichord - violin-piano on a humanities grant from the Ford Foundation. In 1958 one of White’s compositions was voted the outstanding new work for band that year by the College Band Directors National Association.

A mother talks of her son--the President

NEW YORK (UPI) - “Jack enjoyed being President,” she said with a soft, sad smile, a mother talking about her son. “You read about some presidents thinking it’s lonely life, talking about the disadvantages,” Mrs. Rose Kennedy said. “But I think he really reveled in the opportunity it gave him to make history and to meet people who are making history and to be able to accomplish things.” She was talking about her second son, John Fitzgarald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States. And she talked today on the fifth anniversary of his death by an assassin’s bullet in downtown Dallas, Nov. 22, 1963. But the mother of a murdered President and an assassinated senator, Robert F. Kennedy, refused to mourn. • “I have children, grandchild, ren, and I refuse to be daunted,” Mrs. Kennedy said in an interview taped for NBCTV’s “today’s show. “I have a motto which I found

in . . . one of Jack’s favorite books: ‘I know not age or weariness or defeat.’ And I adopted that as my own motto. I think it’s wonderful.” Mrs. Rose Kennedy said President Kennedy had planned to spend the years after leaving the White House encouraging the world’s youth to enter public service. “He thought he’d spend his declining years in Boston in the library encouraging young people to come and work for the government and with the government from all over the world,” she said. “. . . The sad part of it is that so many of them haven’t got enough to do, and that’s why I think they get into so much trouble. “And I feel very sympathetic with parents and with people, because if they’re kept busy, and it there’s something that interests them, then ... I think the spirit of rebellion would be quelled . . . because they’d devote their energies to something useful or something productive,” Mrs. Kennedy said.

Santa to visit Greencastle Friday

Brazil man, son die from monoxide fumes BRAZIL, Ind. (UPI) - A 5-year-old boy was killed and his father made seriously ill yesterday apparently by carbon monoxide fumes as they waited in a truck for a coal mine loading dock to open. Julius Lee McCauley was dead on arrival at Clay County Hospital and his father, George McCauley, about 40, Terre Haute, was unconscious. The two apparently had driven a Terre Haute coal company truck to the loading chute of the Old Hickory Coal Co. mine tipple near Brazil to be first in line when the chutes opened this morning. Other trucks lined up behind them from time to time during the night and the line was about one-fourth of a mile long. When the chutes opened, other truck drivers in line checked to see why McCauley didn't load and drive away. Authorities indicated McCauley and his son apparently slept in the truck cab and kept the motor running to operate a heater in the sub-freezing chill of the night. Welfare checks to be granted only by need? WASHINGTON (UPI) — The federal government yesterday moved to abolish state investigations of prospective welfare recipients and proposed that relief payments be granted solely on their declaration of need. The proposal is designed to “bring greater efficiency and economy to the operation of public welfare agencies and greater dignity for the client,’’ the government's announcement said. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare recommendations published in today's Federal Register also would eliminate other procedures used by the states in determining welfare eligibility. The proposal to end personal investigations of those applying for relief benefits actually keeps a promise made by HEW Secretary Wilbur J. Cohen to the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy during last spring’s Poor People’s campaign in Washing, ton. Under the federal proposal, a declaration method would be used in all public assistance programs by July 1, 1869.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The chairman of a task force which assessed Indiana’s correction system said today the state is 10 years behind in achieving a top-level system. Paul Kalin, Chicago, midwestern director of the National Council on Crime and Delhiquency, gave the report at a conference on criminal justice which ends today with a speech by Gov.-elect Edgar D. Whit-

comb.

The task force was headed by Mrs. Wayne M. Weber, Lafayette, with Kalin and Dave Metzger, Fort Wayne, state NCCD director, the staff which did the

work.

Mrs. Weber said the assessment showed “the most gains have been in brick and mortar rather than in program.” She

The Christmas holidays will officially begin in Greencastle about the time the final leftovers from a Thanksgiving Daydinner are placed on the table. Christmas checks mailed The Central National Bank has announced their Christmas Club checks for 1968 were mailed to savers Thursday and Christmas Club meml>ers will be buried under an avalanche of money for their early shopping convenience. The bank is now accepting deposits to be paid out and checks to be placed in the mail on November 12, 1969. Bay of Pigs leaders to speak Sunday The International Relations Club of DePauw’ University will present Nov. 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the Union Building ballroom, Jose Blanco, one of the leaders of the Bay of Pigs Invasion in Cuba. Blanco will be speaking on the past, present . and future problems of Cuba. He is a past president of a Methodist college in Cuba. This program on Sunday night is open.

said the state is ready to implement a modern system of correctional planning which depends more on programs involving trained people rather than on buildings. Sound Probation Needed Kalin said it might take a decade for Indiana “to be up in front” in its over-all correctional system. “A sound probation service is absolutely essential,” he said. He said “Indiana is one of the few states not to develop programs at community level for miscreants.” Kalin said the system of transporting persons convicted of minor offenses to the Indiana State Farm, rather than keeping them in the community under supervision is “one of the most antiquated” approaches.

Santa Claus is preparing to make his annual trip to Greencastle Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. There will be a fan-fare of musical horns, decorations and the sounds of sirens. In addition to Santa’s visit, the downtown merchants will begin observing a 12-hour day shopping hours from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The hours will also be observed on Saturday.

The parade will move north on Spring to Washington, west to Jackson, north to Franklin and east to the I.G.A. parking lot. Santa will return to the downtown area to distribute candy and talk to children. He is to remain in the downtown area all afternoon. The Christmas lights and decorations will be switched on during Santa’s visit to town. The costs were assumed by the area’s business and industrial people. The Greencastle firemen are also planning their annual Christmas party for children which will occur Saturday Dec. 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. Santa Claus will be on hand to greet the youngsters. Last year more than 400 children talked to Santa and received candy. Each child this year will receive a package of candy, nuts, and fruit. A parade has been announced to coincide with the party depending upon the weatherman. Funds gained at the fire department’s pop corn and old fashioned store-like booth at the Fair on the Square celebration and 4-H fair finance the party. League of voters plan Monday meeting The League of Women Voters Board of Directors will meet Monday, November 25th at 8p.m. at the home of Mrs. P.B. Kissinger, 300 Greenwood.

Hundreds of DePauw freshman parents took advantage of this accomodation to learn more about the city in which their child U.S. guns fire dispite bomb halt By JACK WALSH SAIGON (UPI)—US. artillery shelled North Vietnam for the first time since President Johnson called off all bombardment of the Communist nation, American headquarters said today. Two salvos from U.S. guns Thursday silenced two antiaircraft machineguns that opened fire first on U.S. spotter planes from the northern half of Vietnam's border Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Hanoi Radio disputed the report. Its broadcast heard in Tokyo today said allied artillery and naval guns iiad hit three villages in the northern DMZ four times previously—on Nov. 16, 17, 20 and 21. The United States, the radio said, “must bear fullresponsibility for all the consequences” of the “extremely brazen provocative acts.” Protest DMZ Violations Gen. Creighton W. Abrams’ U.S. command has protested repeatedly the Communists' use of the DMZ as a military base in violation of an understanding that brought the northern bombing halt. Diplomats in Paris said the latest incident could only worsen the chill that has developed between U.S. and North Vietnamese negotiators. In order war action: — U.S. spokesmen said Communist ground guns shot down six American helicopters in South Vietnam Wedneaday and Thursday, killing nine men. — Two of the choppers went down south of Da Nang where 7,000 allied soldiers are shoul-der-to-shoulder around 200 to 900 Communists in a drive to sweep guerrilla gunners from the city’s “rocket belt.” — Five rockets slammed into Da Nang today despite the allied sweep, killing three civilians and wounding four in a residential neighborhood. Planes Attacked U.S. headquarters in Saigon said the American guns shelled North Vietnam Thursday only after two Communist guns opened fire on U.S. spotter planes from above the Ben Hai River, the official North-South border running down the middle of the DMZ. “The two incidents Thursday were the first in which we fired north of the Ben Hai,” an official U.S. spokesman said. Neither of the spotter planes was hit in the barrages of ground fire. Firing back, the U.S. guns triggered a huge fireball at one of the gun sites and silenced the antiaircraft machinegunners at both.

No special ceremonies on 5th anniversary of slain president

By SAM FOGG ARLINGTON, Va. (UPI)— The tourists now crowd where the Irish Pipers played their farewell dirge; the sightseeing buses now travel the route of the funeral cortege. Since the assassination of John F. Kennedy, his gravesite in Arlington National Cemetery has become a standard tourist attraction around the nation’s capital. No special gravesite ceremonies were planned today on the fifth anniversary of his death. 1 I )

But it was likely that Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the dead President’s youngest brother, and other members of the family would pay respects some time during the day. In Georgetown, a noon memorial Mass was arranged at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, and many Washington dignitaries were expected to attend. President Johnson commissioned his Army aide, Col. Hugh Robinson, to lay a wreath at the Kennedy grave on his behalf at 11 a.m.

Tourists Visit For the most part, it was the tourists who walked up the hillside to the site—some merely to see the grave; a few to take snapshots; a number to kneel in a moment of respectful prayer. An estimated 24 million persons have visited the Kennedy grave since Nov. 25, 1963, when his interment climaxed four days of national mourning. On an ordinary day, they number up to 10,000. In the first year after Kennedy’s death,

7,700,000 visitors were counted. The number fell off to slightly more than 4 million the following year. In the past three years an estimated 3 million have come to the grave annually. The site lying midway between Custis-Lee mansion and the Lincoln Memorial across the Potomac was completed earlier this year. An honor guard from the detail assigned to the Tomb of the Unknown stands watch. The

£

eternal flame flickers in the November wind. The small white picket fence surrounded the temporary gravesite of previous years has been replaced by a fieldstone wall inscribed with seven quotations from Kennedy’s 1961 inaugural address. Familar Message There is the most familiar one: “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.”

And there is this; “Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need—not as a call to battle, though embattled we are — but a call to bear the burdens of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, ‘rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation’—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.” In the grave plot are three graves—that of the dead President and those of two V 1

infant children, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy who died two days after birth in August 1962, and an unnamed daughter who died at birth in 1956. Nearby is a newer tombstone. It marks the grave of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy who like his brother died by an assassin’s hand June 5 this year. Arlington officials said there has been no marked increase of visitors since the latter’s burial but a high percentage of those visiting John F. Kennedy's grave pause for a moment to view that of Robert. 3
