S. F. State President charges.. Young radicals coming

from all parts of US.

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)— Acting President S. I. Hayakawa says young radicals are “converging from all parts of the country for an all-out effort to close San Francisco State College, where riot police were called repeatedly last week to crush disruptive demonstrations. The 62-year-old semantics

professors also charged that drugs were being used to get demonstrators “hopped up” for violent campus confrontations with police. But, Hayakawa, who reopened the embattled college last Monday under a get-tough policy, said classes would continue today—with the usual police protection, if needed.

Local VFW remembers Dec. 7, ’41

Tom Carnegie named to address church group

Local VFW members “remembered those men who gave their lives Dec. 7, 27 years ago, at a special Pearl Harbor Day Dinner Saturday night at the local post. As Post Commander Wayne Jones described it, “We got caught short in 1941, and it is the job of our organization to make sure this does not happen t again. We do not want war, but it may come and we must be prepared if it does. “I had hoped that the flags would be flying locally but I saw only a few, this disappointed me with my community.” Master of Ceremony, Thomas Hardwick, introduced the following list of distinguished guests; Department of Indiana VFW Commander William Goodman, Dept. Sr. Vice Commander, Kenneth Wiles, Dept. Jr. Vice Commander John Etsinger, Dept. Quartermaster Omar Kendall and Dept. Inspector Eli Malooley. Also attending were Sixth District Commander A1 Woods, Sr. Vice Commander Felix Knauer and District Inspector, Floyd DeHaven. The Veterans were also honored by the presence of local officials including Judge Francis Hamilton, Mayor Norman Peabody, Police Chief John Stevens, Fire Chief Charles Watkins and representatives of many local organizations. State Department Commander Goodman praised the fine work the local post is doing in the department this year as well as in the past. Post 1550 now has over 400 members for 1969 of which 74 are life members. All eligible veterans were urged to sign up before December 31, 1968 for the coming year. Putnam County Judge Francis Hamilton was the speaker of the evening and gave a very interesting talk on how the VFW became strong with ideas and how the work of veterans of World War I has provided so many benefits to all veterans since that time. During the program, Mrs. Everett Jones and son, William, presented Commander Jones, a photo of Everett “Peb” Jones, the first commander of the local post. This photo will have a place of honor in the Post Home. Continued on Page 7

Tom Carnegie, director of sports for WFBM Stations, Indianapolis, will be guest speaker at the Christian Men’s Fellowship dinner-meeting in First Christian Church Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Reservations must be made with the church office. Carnegie attended William Jewell College in Missouri, becoming one of the country’s leading collegiate orators. For two years the popular Pi Kappa Delta member was listed in “Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities.” Actually Tom Carnegie was a by-word in Hoosier sports even before the gentleman came to the state capital. The former Missouri athlete’s play-by-play and authentic sport comments attracted attention while Tom was in Fort Wayne working as a staff member of WOWO and WGL, from 1942 through 1945. In 1945 he joined WIRE in Indianapolis and in 1946 become Chief Announcer for the internationally famous Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. From 1947 to 1953 Carnegie served as chairman of the radio department at Butler University, founding Butler’s radio station, WAJC, and remains on the staff teaching sports announcing. Tom joined WFBM in 1953. A highlight in Carnegie’s career occurred in 1964 when he spent a month in Tokyo, Japan, covering the 18th Olympic Games. He was the only member of the Hoosier communications media to make the trip, the purpose of which was to cover the exciting activities of Indianaconnected athletes. In July, 1965, Carnegie traveled to Scotland to film a

of Christian Athletes. He is First Vice-President and one of the founders of the Indiana High School Basketball Hall of Fame., in addition to being responsible for the formation of the “500” Old Timers Club. In his present capacity, Carnegie is directly responsible for all sports and recreational broadcasting on all The WFBM Stations, and still finds time to be Tour Director of TheWFBM Antique Auto Tour, which is now in its ninth successful year. Men of the community are invited to share in these special programs of the local church.

Carnegie’s sports broadcasts include over 400 play-by-play of Big Ten and Notre Dame football games, hundreds of college and high school basketball games. He has also been the TV voice, along with Butler University basketball coach Tony Hinkle, of the annual Indiana High School Athletic Association’s basketball tournament since 1953.

AIC Ricky “Rick” C. Robinson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Robinson of Fillmore, has been named Airman of the month for the month of November. He was selected from approximately 200 other Airmen. This is the second time within nine months Robinson has won this award. He will be presented an award at a Commanders Call in the very near future. Airman Robinson has been assigned to the 305th Security Police Squadron at Grissom AFB, Ind. since November 1967.

NEW YORK (UPI)— Pres-ident-elect Richard M. Nixon begins announcing cabinet appointments this week, ending a flurry of speculation on who will emerge the leading figures in his administration. Announcement of the cabinet selections was expected to begin Tuesday or Wednesday and be strung out over a period of a week or 10 days. According to Herbert G. Klein, a spokesman for the Nixon camp, most of the selections have already been

made.

One of the latest reports on the cabinet was that Rep. Melvin R. LAird of Wisconsin had accepted the position of Defense Secretary. Washington columnists Roland Evans and Robert Novak said Laird, chairman of the policy-making House Republican Conference and one of the most influential Republicans in the Congress, had accepted the post after Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash.,

turned it down.

The New York Times, in its Monday morning editions, also carried the Laird story. The Times dispatch cited unnamed sources close to Nixon, and said the soifrces also indicated that the selection of Laird completes Nixon’s cabinet choices. Nixon’s spokesman Ronald Ziegler said he could neither confirm nor deny the reports. Laird conferred with Nixon at least once last week in New York and flew back with the president-elect Saturday from the Republican Governor’s Conference in California. Nixon, who returned about midnight Saturday from a twoday visit to California and a series of meetings with top

officials at the

conference, spent

Shriver, a Democrat and a brother-in-law of the Kennedys who established himself both as a popular ambassador in Paris and a keen administrator during his years as head of the Peace Corps and federal antipoverty programs in Washington, is considered a likely candidate for a top-level post in the Nixon administration. But he said there had been no discussion of a cabinet post during the conversation Sunday.

The American Federation of Teachers, which represents 250 of the school’s 1,100 faculty members, urged Hayakawa to cancel classes so talks aimed at ending strife on campus “can proceed in a calm, deliberative

manner.”

A mediation session was scheduled today at the Labor Temple, bringing together labor, business and civic leaders, as well as legislators and news media representatives. Most Attend Class More than 80 persons were arrested and scores injured during last week’s violence on the 10,000-student campus, but Hayakawa said news stories have not made it clear “that a vast majority of classes are

going on.”

“Most of the students are voting with their behinds,” he said. “They are going to class and sitting down.” But the militants kept busy throughout the weekend. Hayakawa needed police protection to get through a group of angry demonstrators at a church reception Sunday night; minor fires were set in two offices on the deserted campus; and the

acting president was denounced at rallies Saturday and Sunday outside City Hall. Speakers at Sunday’s rally lashed out at Hayakawa’s claims of outside agitators and use of drugs. The Rev. Cecil Williams, Negro pastor of Glide Memorial Church, said “We’re all from out of state, we’re all from somewhere else, and we’re all hopped up.” Wants Justice Dr. Juan Martinez, a faculty member who has been in the forefront of the campus agitation, told the rain-drenched crowd of 300, “We’re doped up all right. We’re doped up on a desire for justice.”

Hayakawa agreed to many of 15 demands made by the Black Students Union and the Third World Liberation Front, when they virtually idled the campus a month ago. His concessions were rejected by militants who said the entire list was “nonnegotiable.”

Housing Committee agrees to incorporate

Hayakawa said Sunday he had received reports which said “anarchistic students, Maoists, the worshippers of Che Guevera, S^»S people and so on, are converging from all parts of the country.”

The Greencastle Housing Committee voted Wednesday to take immediate steps to incorporate as a “not-for-profit” corporation. This is a necessary prerequisite to the buying of property later this spring for the purpose of building or remodelling one or more low cost dwellings. Chairman Gordon Chastain named a new steering committee of four members, representing a cross section of Greencastle. Prof. John Morrill, Mrs. Bessie Rector, the Rev. Thomas Carpe and Mrs. Lillian Taylor will have as their first duties on the steering committee the preparation of a constitution and by-laws, and other plans pertaining to incorporation. A finance committee of John Morrill and Fred Silander will make a detailed study of the financial angles of the proposed building project and explore means of securing seed money and financial backing. A nominating committee of Mrs. Rector, Mrs. Mary Frances Strain and the Rev. Gordon Chastain were named to select a new chairman for the group. A representative of the Housing Committee has been appointed to attend the January meeting of the

Greencastle Planning Commission, with the hopes of cooperative planning between the two groups. Members of the group recently visited the Planner House Homes, Inc. housing project in Indianapolis. Although this has been a very successful project in Indianapolis, members of the Housing Committee feel that such a plan would not be applicable to the needs of this community. The next meeting of the Housing Committee is scheduled for January 29 at 7:30 p.m., the meeting place to be announced later.

“I also want to emphasize that these radicals are white, not black,” he said. “I want the black community to know that I am profoundly sympathetic to their needs, and that I am always reachable.”

Britain fears ‘Bonnie, Clyde Gang’

LONDON (UPI)— The petite girl is no poetess. Just 18, she has a hair-trigger temper and a yen for wigs. Police say she thirsts for “the fast, fast life.” The four young men pack an arsenal of shotguns and other weapons. The fast cars they steal are driven with skill. One of the youths bears an uncanny resemblance to Clyde Barrow, who with Bonnie Parker became an American gangster legend in the 1930s. Today Britain is living the story. It is a bloodless tale thus far. Scotland Yard has taken unprecedented steps to keep it so. Armed police patrol England’s often fog-swept high, ways and secondary roads. They think what has become known as the “Bonnie and Clyde Gang” is bound for possible sanctuary in London. The hunt has melodramatic overtones seldom seen in Britain. Grim detectives warn of the danger of a 1930s-style show-

down complete with blazing shootout. Mothers and girlfriends have made emotional appeals to the four men and the girl to surrender. I’ll Marry You “Give yourself up and I’ll marry you,” a girlfriend urged one of the youths in a national Sunday newspaper story. “But I won’t marry a rod.” The off-screen saga began

Negotiators map strategy

PARES (UPI)— American and South Vietnamese negotiators today mapped joint strategy for the opening of expanded Vietnam War talks. The conference opening date remained uncertain pending agreement between the United States and North Vietnam on procedure ground rules. Both Communist and antiCommunist diplomats said it is unUkely talks will open this week as had been hoped.

last month when Roger Denhardt and Terrence Tharme, both 20, burst out of a reformatory just south of London’s Heathrow Airport. On Nov. 20 two shotgun, waving men held up a Birmingham bank and escaped with $48,000. Police said they were Denhardt— Barrow’s lookalike—and Tharme. Two other reformatory escapees, Francis Harren and Christopher Hague, both 19, joined Tharme and Denhardt. So did Sandra Ann Shelton, a blonde in some photographs, a brunette in others. Police said she wears wigs. How Sandra came to be the “Bonnie” among the “Clydes” is not clear. Reports have ranged from her being Herren’s girlfriend to one she may be a kidnap victim. Have Eluded Law So far they have kept a step ahead of the law. They have streaked throughout the English countryside in a string of stolen Jaguars, Daimlers and Fords. Like Clyde Barrow, they opt for

fast cars. Because the gang is heavily armed, police have issued handguns to 100 men of the elite British Regional Crime Squad. Television and newspapers carry pictures of the wanted quintet, rare because Britain has strict curbs on publicity of criminal suspects. Mothers and fathers of the five went on television to plead “Come on in. You’ll get killed.” Frank Davies, Scotland Yard’s top man on the case, issued an unprecedented appeal: “We understand you are in possession of guns and you may be getting desperate. We want to avoid violence at all costs.” Britons, prone to “have a go” at criminals, have been warned: “Do not tackle these people on your own. You could end up very dead.” “This is ridiculous in this day and age,” said a crime squad spokesman.” We’ll get them— and we’ll answer violence with violence. This sort of armed gang thing went out in the 30s.”

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The northern portion of former Camp Atterbury will become a new recreational site for Indiana, following acceptance of the state’s application to purchase the 5,400-acre area. The General Services Administration advised Sens. Vance Hartke and Birch Bayh that the state’s application has been granted. The Indiana Depart, ment of Natural Resources had sought 5,409.5 acres of the World War n camp which had been declared surplus federal land. Director John Mitchell of the resources department said that since the state had gotten approval previously of federal recreational officials, it was possible to buy the land for half the appraised value, or a total of $820,075. Mitchell said he has a request before the Budget Agency to use already available dedicated fish and game funds for the land. He pointed out that Camp Atterbury is the last large piece of land still in the public domain in the Indianapolis and central Indiana area.
