far south as Kansas and the
higher valleys of northern
Arizona and New Mexico.

Robin Hood Gets
Official Pardon
NOTTINGHAM, England
UPI — Seven centuries late,
Robin Hood has been given an
official pardon by the sheriff of
Nottingham the chap who out-lawed
him in the first place.
Alderman Elliott Durham, the
present sheriff of Nottingham
handed over a proclamation to
a member of the local archery
club in Edwinstowe near here,
reputed to have been one of
Robin Hood's hideouts.
The proclamation said Robin
was free of "all accusations of
acts contrary to law and order
of the past and absolution from
any suggestion of villainy," and
also that he is "welcome in the
city at all times."
Mass Poisoning
Of Race Horses
DE AAR, South Africa UPI—
Detectives today investigated
the mystery mass poisoning of
a herd of horses slated to race
in a cross country marathon.
By Sunday night 32 of the 90 |
horses stabled here for the race
had died of what postmortems
showed was nitrate poisoning.
Race officials feared more
would succumb.
"Koot" Pienaar, the mara-t
h o n ' s organizer, said he
thought the unprecedented I
crime had been caused by an >
animal lover who objected to ]
the grueling marathon.
"I believe he thought it will
lead to future marathons being
banned," Pienaars said.
He said he is convinced the
poison was sprinkled in the
horses fodder last Thursdayj
night by a person who visited |
| the stables in the De Aar Sta- |
dium.

SAIGON UPI —Defense Sec-retary
Robert McNamara flew
here today and immediately be-gan
four days of high-level talks
to determine how many more
U.S. men and dollars are need-ed
to smash Communist aggres-sion
in South Viet Nam.
He made it clear there are no
plans for invading North Viet
Nam or trying to topple the
Communist regime in Hanoi.
At the same time, however,
he left little doubt that the
United States is ready to in-crease
its commitment in the
war. Already the 320,000 Amer-ican
servicemen now fighting
here is double the number it
was when he made his seventh
visit to Viet Nam last year.
And American spending already
has soared $4 billion dollars
over budget estimates.
Accompanying McNamara
were Gen. Earle G. Wheeler,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, and Nicholas Katzenbach,
under secretary of state.
They were met at planeside
by U.S. Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge; Gen. William C.
Westmoreland, commander of
U.S. forces in Viet Nam; and
Gen. Nguyen Huu Co, deputy
prime minister and defense min-ister
of South Viet Nam.
Two machinegun jeeps es-corted
McNamara's sleek white
Air Force Boeing 707 jetliner
off the runway at Saigon's Tan
Son Nhut Airport to the apron
near the VTP lounge on the
base's civilian side.
A light rain puddled on the
concrete apron and glistened
from the wings of dozens of
camouflaged American war-planes
parked in emplacements
protecting them from possible
mortar attacks as McNamara
and his party stood stiffly at
attention while a military band
played the American and Viet-namese
national anthems.

Insurance Sales
Hit Record High
A hard hitting agency force
led Farm Bureau Insurance to
record highs in all lines of busi-ness
for the first six months of
this year, according to Jack J.
Rosenbrough, executive vice-president
of the insurance Com-panies.
Direct life insurance in force
went above the half billion dol-lar
mark, says Rosebrough, as
agents sold a total of $22.5 mil-lion
during the 3-month period
ending June 30.
Auto insurance applications
totaled 22,850 for the first of
1966, with much of the credit
for sales going to the new auto
pol'.cy offered by Farm Bureau
Insurance early this year, giv-ing
car owners, their families
and the public much broader
protection than ever before.
The company's attractive rate
structure and it? popular 80-20
collision coverage were also
credited with the expanding
auto business.
An additional 8,000 policies
were written on fire and re-lated
lines. Over $8 million was
paid in fire, auto and other
claims.
Farm Bureau Insurance of-fers
a complete service in life
auto, fire and hospitalization
insurance. It employs approxi-mately
800 Hoosiers, and has
more than 350 representatives
working out of 100 offices lo-cated
throughout Indiana.
Farm Bureau Insurance is
made up of the United Farm
Bureau Family Life Insurance
Company and United Farm Bu-reau
Mutual Insurance Com-pany.

WASHINGTON UPI Presi-dent
Johnson is expected to
press his plea for greater So-viet-
American cooperation to
solve longstanding European
problems when he meets with
Russian Foreign Minister An-drei
A Gromyko today.
The conference at the White
House may bring the Chief Ex-ecutive
the first hint of official
Russian reaction to his Friday
speech in which he offered new
economic concessions to Euro-pean
Communist nations and
suggested the possibility of
U. 8. and Soviet troop with-drawals
along both sides of the
Iron Curtain if the Kremlin
would work for "reconcilia-tion."
The meeting, held against a
background of rising world
pressures for peace in turbulent
Southeast Asia, also may give
Johnson some idea of whether
Russia is as adament as she
appears to be in trying to
persuade North Viet Nam to
the peace table.
Administration officials said
they exepected nothing in the
way of specifics from today's
meeting. They said, however, it
would be important in assessing
the mood of the Kremlin at a
time when both Washington and
Moscow give at least the sur-face
appearance of wishing to
prevent the Viet Nam conflict
from pushing them into bitter
new confrontations in Europe.
In a speech to the United
Nations General Assembly last
month, Gromyko said the situ-ation
in Europe was more im-portant
and contained the seeds
of possible nuclear conflict.
This coincides with the views
of most American officials. It
gives rise to some hope in
diplomatic circles that cautious
concern over possible European
crises will prevent either of the
world's two major nuclear
powers from clashing too di-rectly
over Viet Nam.
Gromyko, in a Saturday
meeting at the UN with Brit-ish
Foreign Secretary George
| Brown, apparently rejected an
effort to get the Kremlin to
take the initiative in getting
Hanio to talk peace.
In turning down Britain's six-point
plan for negotiations,
Gromyko is understood to have
restated the Soviet position that
it will not move unless asked to
by Hanoi.

CHILD SAFETY COUNCIL ORGANIZED
Becuase more children die and are permanently disabled
by preventable accidents than by all the childhood communi-cable
diseases combined, the Putnam County Chapter of the
national Child Safety Council was organized and officers
elected at its initial meeting held Oct. 5 in Sheriff Kenneth
Knauer's office.
Local officers chosen for the current year are James M.
Smith, president (third from right); Harold Sutherlin, vice
president (second from left); Percy Rice, secretary and
treasurer, (right). C. L. Balay, not present, is distribution
officer. Dick Ayre. Safety Coordinator, left.
During the business meeting, the charter members of the
newly formed group made application for their local charter
from the national Child Safety Council, adopted a working
set of by-laws, and discussed the various kinds of child safety
services to be rendered by the chapter in answer to the needs
prevalent throughout the county.
Also present was Dick Ayre, State Safety Coordinator,
who pointed out the specific needs in Putnam County. He
will also be cooperating closely with the chapter to assist in
fulfilling its budget program for the current year.
Chapter members report that on* of their principal ob-jectives
is to institute a more extensive child safety program
here in Putnam County, utilizing the superior visual child
safety educational materials and services now available. The
chapter expects to be instrumental in providing this complete
program of educator-approved child safety guidance mater-ials
and other special services to every school age child in
this area.
The safety program for children will begin with the dis-tribution
of graded safety guidebooks to each pupil in kinder-garten
through sixth grades. Other child safety materials
include large colorful safety posters furnished each month of
the school year, safety informational folders on timely sub-jects
and hazards to childhood, and the free use of the na-tional
child safety film library.
Honorary Associate Members of the chapter are Roy
Newgent, Chief of Police; Paul Mason, Deputy County Sher-iff;
and Don Hedrick, South Putnam School Superintendent;
Charles Frazee, North Putnam School Superintendent; Dr.
Joseph Rammel, City School Superintendent. These Asso-ciate
Members will voluntarily assist in the effective distri-bution
of the child safety educational program within the
area of their reapectiv* responsibilities.
