The engineering firm of Kirk- ham-Michael Was authorized to draw up preliminary plans for the new road. The commission reappointed Henry Westphal as county as- sessor for two years.

WALKER (Continued from. Page One) generally, the press has not paid too much attention to the General Walker case, the pampheteers have been busy and they, note the silence in the press. It is experience that the sup- pression of a story -can build it up to explosive proportions. This seems to be best pointed'up in Senator Mundt's weekly report. Mundt is a Republican; Thur- mond is a Democrat.

Neverthe- less, Mundt Thurmond as his authority when he says: "In the Aug. 17 discussion on the floor concerning the memorandum submitted by Sen- ator Fulbright to the Defense De- partment and the subsequent di- rective aimed at 'stopping anti- Communist i a Sen. Strom Thurmond said: 'I think our people in uniform generally should not speak promiscuously on all subjects, but they are entitled to tell the civilian -pop- ulation the aims, the methods of operation, and dangers of the enemy. The enemy today is communism. "I feel there is a censorship now being placed upon our military people with regard to expressing themselves concern- ing our enemy, communism." Censorship Attached Senator Mundt attacks the censorship of public speeches by military men: "Thus, the full impact of the recent Pentagon directive is now being felt.

The' 'muzzling of the military', first' appearing as an 'innocent'; attempt to 'stop-war talk' by such dis- tinguished military leaders as Admiral Arleigh Burke, be- comes an all-out attack to dis- credit highly successful anti- Communist seminars and to eliminate any reference to the menace of communism because it is interpreted as being of a 'political' nature." This is the beginning of a movement and those who ig- nore it do not understand the strength and depth of popular movements. It is to ridi- cule John Birch Society, but it is not easy to justify the removal of General Walker from his post in Germany on the of excessive patriotism. The-exquse can be that the balance between the United States and Soviet Russia, be- tween war and peace, is so fine that only the most elevated civilian officials should speak on policy matters. That w.oulc be President Kennedy and Sec- retary of State Dean Rusk. But we listen to others on lower levels discuss policy questions and they are not muzzled.

Misunderstanding -There seems to be a misun- derstanding of roles and re- sponsibilities. If no one but the President and the secretary of state are to speak on policy, then let everybody else be silent. It is doubtful if the country would long tolerate such a one-sided silence. General Walker is an incident in a general policy that has al- ways heretofore failed, namely the effort to muzzle public men and the press. Such an effor' always fails in this country be- cause there are always inlrepic spirits who will tell the truth as they see, it.

Ridiculed abused, socially ostracized, they go ahead and the truth comes out. Such journalists as Charles Edward Russell, Lincoln Stef- fens, Ida Tarbell, Upton Sin- to go back a generation or two, were of that calibre and they broke through any conspiracy to keep 'the truth from the people. And they hac a tough time because the truth is often such a nuisance. (Copyright 1961, King Fca tures Syndicate Inc.)

Archie Gubbrud has proclaimed Oct. 19, as "Credit Union Day" in South Dakota, in noting the third Thurs- day of October has been interna- tionally set aside for recognition of credit unions. BOARD (Continued from Page One) gested that (lie board defer action on the contract until after the oth- er carnival had been given a hear- ing, Manager Jacobson also spoke up, saying he had been placed in an embarrassing position since he already had followed the, board's previous instructions in taking steps to arrange a hearing with the Madison carnival.

The carnival contract is the only one approved by the fair board which will let contracts for other entertainment features at the 1962 State Fair in November in Chi- 1 i Approves ir Budget away at $70,000 in additional tax funds being asked for 1962. A cut of $22,000 is mandatory as gen- eral fund requests now exceed the limit by this amount. The city's 1962 budget, compiled from requests by department heads, now stands at an all-time record high-- as compared with $978,593 for 1961. money being requested for the city's tentative budget totals compared with a tax in- crease this year of $568,703.

The total general fund tax request for next year now stands at $412,325 with $399,000 the maximum that can raised by the 15-mill sta- tutory limit. The city commission, as it ac- cepted the tentative budget for first reading Monday night, made no bones that the ax will' come out before final adoption. Mayor Gene, W. Denison said, "We've got to chop this down," and outspoken Commissioner C. H.

(Juriibo) Peterson declared, "There'll be a' lot of use for a sharp pencil." Request's Skyrocket While the proposed' budget an- ticipates an increase in income and cash balance of some $32,000, requests have skyrocketed at many points, including nearly $5,000 in the recreation depart- ment, $5,000 in the park depart- ment, $17,000 for city equipment, $5,000 for city hall improvements, $6,500 for the street department and $4,000 for the fire depart- ment. Some increases can be expect- ed to be offset with actual rev- enue, such -as in the 'water de- partment where $185,000 is being jroposed compared with a pres- ent $150,009. Both are matched by income. Other income and cash balance figures are juggled around at the discretion of the commission so is difficult to pin down some things that look free. For ex- ample, equipment is set down at $17,900 and shows a $17,000 in- come and cash balance.

But city equipment, other than parking meters, doesn't produce this kind of income. On the county side of the budget figuring, the Beadle com- missioners admittedly held spend- ing requests to the absolute min- imum. Some courthouse depart- ments declare they won't be able to live within the figures allotted. U.S. (Continued from Page One) lave ridden Mercury capsules on short space flights.

But a series of problems have delayed the $400 million Mercury program's bid to equal. the orbital trips of Russian cosmonauts Gagarin and Gherman Titov. The shot today was an attempt put a two-ton Mercury capsule into' orbit and bring it down again for the first time. A similar effort April 25 failed when the Atlas rocket went off course and hac be destroyed 40 seconds after blast-off. The early minutes of the firing today appeared to go smoothly.

The Atlas, a converted war rock- et, rose slowly at first, then picked up speed as its five liquor- fueled engines drove the giant space machine on a course north- east from here. Scientists said the robot astro- naut was functioning normally during the crushing forces of lift- off. Dr. John Powers, astronaut in- formation chief, said in a running commentary that the capsule sep- arated normally from the Atlas booster more than five minutes after launch. Scientists said that at that point the flight was meaning it looked good.

Seconds later, the capsule turned itself around into proper orbital' altitude. The seven U.S. astronauts kept tabs on the shot at a i around the globe. Shepard, Gris- som and John H. Glenn were on the cape.

Scott Carpenter was at a. station in Muchca, Australia; L. Gordon Cooper at Point Affuelto, Walter M. Schir- ra at Guaymas, Mexico; anc Donald K. Slayton, at key ita- lion on Bermudi.

Wheat State Solons Propose Managing Plan WASHINGTON (UPI) Wheat-state senators have pro- posed a "wheat bushel man- agement program" they said cut overproduction, allow higher pre-bushel money returns and provide Higher to- tal income for the farmers. Sens.

Maurine B. Neuberger (D-Ore.) and Frank Carlson (R- ECan.) were principal co-spon- sors of the bill. Mrs. Neuberger explained the plan, which she said was en- iorsed by the National Associa tion of Wheat Growers, Na- tional Farmers Union and the National Grange. The secretary of agriculture would determine the number of bushels of, wheat needed to meet home and export require- ments.

They would be divided among states, counties, and farms in the 'same way that wheat acreage are apportioned, with each farm's quota based on its previously determined historical a acreage and normal yield. The department would certify a limited number of bushels which each producer might sell for food and export. A farmer growing more than his quota would store the surplus at his own expense and use the over- production for feed wheat, seed or industrial purposes. The free market would deter- mine the price for certified and non-certified wheat, Mrs. Neu- berger said.

She quoted wheat experts as predicting high- quality certified wheat would bring a price equal to 100 per cent of parity, with uncertified selling at lower levels. Others signing the bill in- cluded Sens. Mike Mansfield and Lee Metcalf (both D- Francis Case (H- S. Warren G. Magnuson a Henry M.
