Wallace In Indiana Alabama Governor George C. Wallace, now campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination in Indiana, does not deserve our support. While an ardent segregationist, Gov. Wallace is campaigning on a state’s rights platform. If the fibre of Indiana can be judged correctly, the southern governor bids to do well in Indiana, however. /Among the chief reasons are the fact that Indiana is the Ku Klux Klan hotbed of old, and this philosophy conforms with the segregationist point of view. Another,

The Congressional Pay Bill

It doesn’t take a seer to figure out why the House, when a roll call vote was demanded, turned down the bill to increase Congressional salaries by 410.000 a year. Numbers of other officials would have received similar boosts. This, after all, is an election yedr and «very member of the House must face the voters come November. And a majority of the members obviously didn’t relish the idea of defending a huge pay raise at a time when all the talk concerns economy to prevent inflation. But the bill is not dead. And it is a matter on which the voters should make

A Booming Industry

Tourism has become a booming industry. It's the safest of bets that more Americans will travel abroad this year than ever before. And the number of people from other lands who visit our country is steadily increasing. Most of these travelers will move by jet plane. With its speed, comfort and reliability it has transformed international air travel. One can be almost anywhere in the civilized world in a matter of hours. And, over the years, the cost has consistently gone down. Our own principal international airline. Pan American, has been the leader in this. It has been Pan Am policy from the very beginning that

From The Bunch Grass

Isn’t it too bad the blacksmith and the corset maker didn’t last a little longer so they could have gotten federal help as a distressed industry ? Once upon a time it was the lax and lazy who beoafiie the slaves. Now, thanks to the ballot, they are able to enslave the

A Weekend At Home

Two all-night drives . . . two postoffice dedications . . . sandwiches an the run . .motels at 4 a. m. with 9 a. m. starts . . . two dinner addresses ... a review of military academy cadets .. . more late driving ... a library's 50th anniversary . . . private receptions and political conversations . . . eight speeches in three days... home at 6:30 a. m.... answering a quorum call four hours later with no time for bed . . . This is the typical pace of a Senator and his staff members taking a fast week end at home. It’s a rugged schedule, but an exhilarating one. because it means being (ait where the people are, meeting old friends and making new ones, crisscrossing the state and learning things about how you and your neighbors think and feel as I can never do in Wash--1 ington. Let me give you a short randown on the week end jut past Six in the car. we left Washington at 6p.m. on Thursday. Hard allnight driving brought us to Indiana’s border by 4 a. m., with a welcome motel. Six hours later we were on the road again. At noon we were in Auburn tor lunch with 125 businessmen and Borg-Warner officials. again in mid-afternoon, another 156 miles to reach Shelbyville for the first of two Jefferson-Jackson dinners. With 650 people in a Catholic church basement, the speech by a Lutheran Senator, and the entertainment by the Masonic Chanters, we , had a delightful evening. Then a reception in a private home and ala. m. start for the twohour drive to Indianapolis. But although it was exciting, a

is that his opponent, Governor Matthew E. Welsh, is tainted in the eyes of the voters with the sales tax. And of course, there are those who simply believe the federal government is overstepping its bounds, and entering such matters as school affairs which are strictly state matters. This all will augur well for Governor Wallace, but we can’t help but believe an extension of his views spell trouble for America for many years to come.

their positions knox\Yi. The members of Congress are hardly financially underprivileged, with their present salaries of $22,500, plus a wide variety of valuable fringe benefits and other perquisites. The odds are that many of the members couldn’t do nearly as well in private life. And it is a matter of record that it is a rare occasion when a member voluntarily leaves his post. He steps down only when death, disor voter decision force him to. Actually, pay should not be the overriding incentive when it comes to public service.

the cost of air travel should be brought within the means of the average person, instead Os being a high priced luxury patronized only by the few. And time has thoroughly proven the soundness of that attitude. There is more to this than the economic element, important as that is. Juan Trippe, Pan Am’s president, has held steadfastly to the idea that stimulated travel can make a major contribution to world friendship and understanding—and thus, to world peace. This, one hopes, will be the most significant development of the jet age.

WHAT, MORE NAIL BITERS!

Dear Amy: Some time ago I read in your column lei ers about nail biting. I meant to save that column for future use, but the paper was destroyed before I clipped the column out. Would you kindly print it again. I teach an advanced class of high I.Q. students who make a full course meal of their nails (disgusting, isn’t it?) and I want to take the coluipn to class.

I no longer called it a habit I called it my “hobby.” My solution: I made a Novena to St. Jude, the helper of desperate and hopeless cases. Amy, I no longer bite my nails! I wish “Will” the best of luck and am enclosing a St. Jude Novena leaflet. 1 thank you for your wonderful column and all the wonderful hours you have given me. God bless you! Mrs. J. V. H.

He probably has a distorted view of life and is beset with other

Stassen Entertains Press . Former Minnesota Governor, Harold E. Stassen, entertained members of the press, radio and TV from the Indianapolis area with a breakfast in the Empire Room of the Claypool Hotel. Following the breakfast, a news conference was held at GOP State Headquarters. In a formal announcement to the news the three time Governor of the “Gopher” state said, “Building for Peace at home and abroad is the program which I present to the voters of Indiana for the primary on May sth.” Stassen served the Eisenhower administration on the National Security Council to build a powerful American defense, on his Operations Coordinating Board to defeat Communist

Agricultural Production Reporting Since 1862 it has been the policy of this nation of reporting all phases of agriculture production. The U. S. department of agriculture was organized during the administration of Abraham Lincoln and their first job was in developing a reporting system. Since that time it has become i ;ghly a refined procedure and several times a year reports are made on crops and livestock production. By this method all the channels of agricultural trade can be ready. The most recent publication lists,, the agricultural income in Indiana by counties. Kosciusko is rated in second place, Jasper county is first. We are not particularly pleased with these figures because we are in second place only because of the fact that Jasper receives about a million dollars more in governmental payments. Using agricultural production alone. Kosciusko ranks first. The total income Ar the year 1962 is listed at $26,669,000 in this county, mostly from livestock and livestock products. The livestock income is nsted n at 19 million dollars with the sale of corn, soybeans, wheat, and other crops bringing in the balance. Elkhart county is second in livestock income at a little over 16 million. The income from poultry products 1 and hogs are the main sources here [ with percentages of 23 and 21, rej spectively. We are not satisfied with the poultry’ figures and have planned for the chief statistician to meet with some of the leaders of the poultry industry here to revise the reporting procedure. It is a difficult, rapidly changing figure and it is important to the egg buyers and processors. The total agricultural income of Kosciusko county has been rising at the rate of about one million dollars a year for the past decade. SLIGHT DECREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS A slight upswing in manufacturing and the continued acceleration of construction and other outdoor activities were in evidence last week and unemployment insurance claims showed a small decrease to 40,160 from 40,396 the week before. Lewis F. Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said that the number of continued claims dropped by nearly 1,800 but that initial claims increased by 1,750 mainly because a number of persons laid off previously became eligible for unemployment insurance at the beginning of the new calendar quarter. Layoffs during the week ; were small scale and usually temporary or seasonal. Among the varied causes reported were a model i change in a shoe factory, a shortage i of logs in a veneer plant, and a move . of some manufacturing operations to a new building. Horticuturists at Purdue university ’ say the Dwarf Pfitzer juniper is a , better suited evergreen variety to ' small homes than the Comman Pfitzer. The Japanese yew and the Anglo- . Japanese yew are also recommended j for home plantings.
