First Amendment March

Dear Editor: We made the trip in a chartered bus, a private coach with rest room and lounging area. There were 30 in our group from bdtana. We had a very comfortable trip of about 1,400 miles Io and from Washington, D. C. The scenery was beautiful all the way, green, dean roadsides with many flowering shrubs along the way. Washington, D. C. bad bright red tulips, azalias, cherry biosooms, red bud, forsytina, etc. We made our motel reservitioos at Alexandria, Va., and attended the Mclntire prayer meeting on the capital steps at • pm Friday, April 5. Marchers from 14 states attended the prayer session and it was quite impressive with the bull horn, PA system. Many notable ministers and radio station managers took part. We were able to shake hands with Dr. Cart Mclntire who is head of the 20th Century Reformation how, president of the International Council of Churches and founder of the Faith Theological seminary at Shelton college in Cape Canaveral, Fla., where the Reformation Hour has 380 acres being developed for rofigfous education and the training of Christian workers.

Hie purpose of the march was to protest first Use violation of our first amentfanent, rights of the freedom of speech by the FCC (Federal Communications Chmmiossna) This commission has proven to be so unfair as to misrepresent and degrade the 20th Century Reformation program by Dr. Mclntire that they dosed down station WXUR sod user rods judges’dedstaus to allow WXUR to stay on the air... On Saturday morning our Indiana group bad an appointment with Congressman Ear! I andgrrbr ao we met in his spacious office... He then led the way to the huge dining ball in Use basement of the Capitol budding. There we enjoyed breakfast cafeteria style. WO then were (greeted to the tunnel where we rode the electric train to a point where an escalator took us up to the hallway surrounding the Congressional hall or Senate chamber area. There Mr. Landgrebe taflted to the group of many interesting things or happenings he had experienced during his many years serving in the legislature. He said he imderstood the purpose of the march, why we were so concerned about the fact that WXUR had been put off the afr and he promised to meet with

Dr. Mclntire and get his side of the story. We hope that meetings such as these w 9 bring the truth to light showing that Dr. Mclntire <fid not violate the FCC ndings. The marchers started getting organised at 12 noon Saturday. A truck loaded with thousands of sqps was standing by and people from at least 20 states were clamoring to cany their special sign. Some trumpet players were playing patriotic Youth groups were there from many churches and were selling and passing out march signs, US flags and buttons, religious tracts and patriotic literature. The program was retd enfhuwastir at the Washingtan Monument grounds where Mclntire had Ms grandstand set UP and many fine speeches were given. The Shelton college choir sang. . . R was a tot of fun and quite impressive. Mclntire always says if we have problems let’s work at it and enjoy it. We are all praying that Congress will be impressed sufficiently to at least give the case a hearing and a chance to defend the right of free speech on radio. The final report showed nearly busses representing 35 slates were on band for the march.

Hartke proposed disaster agency included in senate bill

SOUTH BEND, April 15 - On April 10,1974, the United States Senate adopted a compreheosive Disaster Refief Act including provisions proposed by Senator Vance Hartke (D-lnd.) to create a central Federal agency to coordmate afl disaster relief activities. The bill, which wifi strengthen and improve programs to give assistance to areas disrupted by major disasters such as the tornadoes which devastated sections of 28 bxfiana counties, was described by Hartke during a late afternoon press conference in South Bend. Earlier in the day, Hartke visited disaster sites in Kendaflvdte, Ligonier, Rome Qty, South Milford, Stroh, Big Long Lake, Big Turkey Lake, and Sylvan Lake. The Hartke proposal will establish a Disaster Assistance Administration within the Executive Office of the President to provide maximum mobilization of Federal assistance to coordinate the activities of all Federal agencies responsible for disaster “In traveling through areas hardest bit by the tornadoes, I have been impressed by the fine work being done by federal, state and local government agencies as well as volunteer groups,” Hartke said. “I have repeatediy met people who encountered peat personal lorn and suffering, yet not one of them has expressed a ’why me?’ Or “why here?* attitude. I am deeply touched and proud of that Hoosier spirit with which they have turned to the business of firing far today and tomorrow.’ “Because chaos naturally follows a disaster of this magnitude, we need one single federal agency whose sole purpose it is to prepare far and then provide immediate and longterm relief ranging from dtotribution of food and medicine to debris removal, restoration, rehabilitation and reconstruction of public buildings, businesses and private homes,” the Senator continued. "This would include, of course, helping citizens apply for federal grants and loans far rebuilding their businesses, farms and home.” “My proposal to create a central federal disaster aid agency was incorporated in the tail the senate adopted last week. That bill now provides that a new Disaster Assistance Administration wifl make an immediate and initial appraisal of the types of relief most urgently needed when tragedy strikes. The President, through the agency. Wifi be able to direct any Federal agency to utilise its available personnel, equipment, supplies, fadfittes, and other resources including managerial and technical services in support of State and focal disaster efforts,” Hartke explained. Immediately upon his designation of a major disaster area, the President would appoint a federal coordinating officer toadminister relief to that area. The coordmating officer would establish such field offices as he deems necessary and as are authorized by the President. The federal coordinator would also oversee relief activities of State and local governments and volunteer and private disaster assistance organizations winch agree to operate under his advice or direction. “The new disaster relief agency would not eliminate or curtail any of the services ■Rranfr available to victims of tie esters Nke our tornadoes or Hurricanes Agnes and Camilte or the Rapid City, South Dakota flood. Instead, the Adcentral communications and resource point to assure that local citizens and public officials promptly obtain the assistance to which they are entitled,” according to Hartke. The newly-adopted Disaster Relief Act also includes provisions for a program of disaster preparedness which utilizes services of all appropriate Federal agencies, including the Civil Defense

Preparedness Agency. “The better plans we draw up ahead of time for dealing with the monumental problems which arise in a time of disaster, the better we can serve the people in need when catastrophe strikes,” Hartke observed. “Tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and other violent acts of nature disrupt lives of individuals, families and communities, leaving wounds which take months, even years, to heal. For that reason, I believe the Federal government should do everything in its power to supply quick and organized aid, minimizing the disruption, confusion and frustration. That is the intent of the tall we just passed in the Senate,” he concluded. Support — (Continued from page 1) dustries far a sign near Don’s Sunoco Station on South Huntington street. The matter was taken under advisement until the board could search our town ordinances and-or see what restrictions the state has on such signs, that they might obstruct traffic. Mr. and Mrs. David Shields have requested that the board restrict parking far 150 feet along Boston street where they plan to put a beauty shop in their home at 701 South Huntington street. The board sjrid it would await a formal the proposed parking area before making a determination. Police chief Sparklin asked the board to look into equipment for , the town’s dog pound for more adequate feed and water facilities. He also asked the board to consider the expenditure of 250 for two head phones for dispatchers. He said during the recent tornado it was difficult for dfapatchers to hear over the din of telephones and conversations ' in tite room where they operate. b More information is being sought. Street commissioner Harley Conrad asked for from 2200 to 2400 for pump parts for the town’s lift station to prevent delay when such parts are needed. Permission granted. Sunday Permit Nelson Auer, speaking for Maxwelton golf course, asked approval of the board for a threeway Sunday permit, such as has been granted to two other eating establishments in the area. Permission was granted. Harold Renner of Ligonier spoke about garbage pick-up in the newly annexed areas, stating a charge of 21.10 per month per residence would be made, and that with the additional 218, it would make approximately 600 such pick-ups in Syracuse. The 30-odd businesses to be added would be charged on an in<fi vidual basis, he said, unless the town chose to pick up the tab. A final determination has not been made. Jack Spitler questioned the board about blacktopping the Pearl street parking lot, and to consider the flow of water, “so it doesn’t go into my basement.” The board assured Spitler it would consider the flow of water in its improvement plans. Board member Lorin Knispel said estimates were being sought on a new roof for the scout cabin, and that the complete elimination of parking in front of the cabin is beiiM asked by the scout cabin ooaru He praised rubber company employees for their fairness and understanding in this parking problem, and said he saw no reason far an ordinance in this regard at the present time. Revenue Sharing Funds Betty Dust reported on revenue sharing funds, as follows: Received since December 1972 — 235.553 Interest - 2897.77 Spent on aerial survey — 26,771 Balance on hand — 229,679.77 She also asked permission to put the fire accumulative fund on a year’s time certificate instead of 90 days in order to accumulate more interest.
