Paul Vorhies, 20, 928 N. Parker, then ran north on East Street from Washington with Patrolman Joseph Babcock in close pursuit It was about 1:30 a.m.

Realizing he could not overtake Vorhies, Babcock stopped and fired a warning shot over the youth's head. Vorhies halted about 50 feet away and taunted his pursuer: have to shoot better than that, copper!" But the youth hadn't figured on one thing. This "territory" has lots of law officers. Vorhies turned and started fleeing again right into the arms of two other policemen who had heard the gunplay. The youth, still defiant, was arrested for malicious trespass and resisting arrest.

Speaking in Latvian to an audience of 300 in the Indiana World War Memoriai auditorium, he called on Latvians to work to make Americans "aware of the value of freedom and liberty." The meeting was the 21st annual memorial service commemorating June 14, 1941, when Communist Russia first expanded outside her boundaries and took over Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. Dr. Cedrins said 14,693 Latvians had been deported in cattle cars for slave labor in Siberia.

"I'm not going to embarass them by wandering around to their delegations," he says. They're afraid and there's no question about it." The Mayor charges that those who make up what he calls the Statehouse "palace guard" have instilled this fear in the delegates. If there were some close contests for nomination to office, candidates and their managers would have to deal with Boswell in an effort to get a hunk of votes out of the 327-member Marion County delegation. But the way things look now there is an excellent chance the battle over the senatorial nomination will be the only contest in the state convention. "They arranged that beautifully," says Boswell.

"They want a Teamsters Union convention with everyone voting aye. No one will come to trade because there is nothing to trade about. 'The truth is," he continued, "most of the candidates don't want to run." He said that during a recent visit to Lake County, rocked by a series of political scandals, he was told by prominent Democrats they would be happy to win by 5,000 votes. In 1958, Democratic Senator Vance Hartke received a 50,289 majority in Lake County. Democratic Governor Welsh came out of Lake County in 1960 with 61,850 votes more than his Republican opponent.

What happened to the traffic police when fire trucks answered an alarm at Wabash and Pennsylvania Thursday about 12:30 p.m.? Being in the downtown area, fire trucks came from all directions. When the firemen started to leave, some found themselves bottled up on Pennsylvania. A supervisor for the Indianapolis Transit System came to the rescue and directed traffic at Ohio and Pennsylvania so the fire trucks could get out of the jam. Many famous names have been entered on the docket of Criminal Court 2 in recent weeks.

Movie and television fans will be disquieted to learn that Glen Ford has been charged with second-degree burglary, John Daly with petit larceny, James Dean with uttering a forged instrument, and John Ford with second-degree burglary. What could be the story behind the charge of disorderly conduct against Mary Martin? But the greatest disillusionment was the discovery that Richard E. Byrd answered a burglary charge, someone alleged that Patrick Henry operated a motor vehicle while drunk, and that Thomas Jefferson faced a reckless homicide charge. Between now and July 1 the 3,000 postal employees in Indianapolis will ballot to decide which organization they wish to represent them. The election is in compliance with an exclusive order issued last January by President Kennedy calling for better employee-management co-operation.

The postal employees here now have seven employee organizations representing them. Some union rivalry got into the election campaign this week. Mail clerks started wearing slogan badges while on duty, others retaliated by wearing big placards on their backs. Postmaster John Nice halted the sign activity until he got a ruling from superiors in Cincinnati They decided badges were all right but they barred the use of placards while the men were working. rate would be fit to fly a space mission.
