Branigin whose comments ranged from race relations to drag racing, noted that "35 or 40" members of the 1965 Legislature were under 40 years of age, and said the legislature "acquitted itself with respect and distinction." He mentioned Sen.

Birch Bayh, who got his political start in the state legislature while he was under 30 years of age and listed other young political successess. Branigin, asked by the cadets how he got star ted in politics, answered that "most lawyers get a taste of politics early in life." He said, however, "a lot depends on timing." The governor House yields to LBJ on military base closings WASHINGTON (UPI)--T House Tuesday grudingly yielded to President Johnson's veto and voted unanimously to drop the sharp restrictions it ha-l imposed on his authority to close military bases. Led by Rep. L. Mendel Rivers, D-S.

the members agreed to go along with President in the interest of national security. At stake was a $1.7 billion military construction bill being held up because of the bases dispute. By a roll call vote of 346 to 0 the House sent the bill to the Senate, where litile difficulty was expected in passing it. Rivers, chairman of Armed Services Committee and author of the original language, told the House: "We could of course, have made it a far greater issue. We chose not to take that path because we are dealing with the nationalsecurity." In place of the language that prompted the veto, the House adopted a provision that would require the President to notify Congress 30 days before -he shut down a base in the United States employing more than 250 people.

In the bill initially passed, the Pentagon could not have closed--or substantially reduced--any military facilityun- less it had notified Congress 120 days before. In addition, notification could be made only during the first four months of the year, the period when Con- normally is in session. Johnson said in his veto message the restriction was "repugnant to the Constitution" because, in his i i it would permit the legislative branch of government to interfere with a function of the executive branch. The President also said limits on when he could close or down-grade a bass would tie his hands and thus endanger the national defense. No sign Red China involved WASHINGTON (UPI) U.S.

officials said today they had detected no military movements which would indicate that Red China was planning to become involved in the India-Pakistan war. They added, however, that the United States was keeping a close watch on the situation, particularly in the Sikkim area, where Red China has accused India of encroaching on its territory. State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey had no comment on Peking's announcement that it was supporting Pakistan against what the Red Chinese termed Indian "aggression." McCloskey said the United States was bending every effort to support the United Nations call for a ceasefire. McCloskey said Secretary of State Dean Rusk had expressed this, as well as concern over the whole affair, in several talks with the Indian and Pakistani ambassadors to Washington.

reviewed his own career, recalling that in 1956 lie was defeated when he sought the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, but "but I would have been cremated" in the fall elections by the vote for Dwight D. Eisenhower. Branigin observed with a grin that he felt his 1964 victory was due to the Democratic sweep led by President Johnson. "It was not because of mycharm. Not enough people know me," he said.

The governor said that now that he has been elected governor "I'm not running for any further office." He noted that at is one of the three oldest men among the 50 state governors. On race relations, Branigin told the cadets in answer to a question that he has no reason to believe Indana is in any danger of uprising such as California experienced at Watts. "I believe most Negroes feel this state is a rather fair cli- gan commented. Drag racing came into the conversation because ol advance fears of trouble during the llth annual National Drag Championships held at Indianapolis Raceway Park. "A little show of force maintained order," was the governor's interpretation of the peaceful weekend.

Branigin said there now are very few areas in which "a kid can't walk to Educational opportunities in Indiana were enhanced by the legislature's action in appropriating $500,000 for college scholarships. The cost of education has mounted, and so has the academic work load. "Tuition was $200 when I went to Harvard law school but it is $1,500 a year now," he said. He offered English as the best preparatory subject for a would-be lawyer. He termed air pollution asoneof the big problems facing the young cadets and said water pollution already is a serious problem in this generation.

Branigin, who undertook to answer all the questions the cadets asked, apologized at one point and observed "The governor has to speak like an expert on everything." The seven cadets were accompanied on the conference with the governor by their journalism advisor, David H. Caskill, formerly of Bloomington, now of Culver. Shades of back fo Homer's corn field PITTSBURGH (UPI) Industry sources said Tuesday a steel price increase appears likely in the months ahead to help pay for one of the greatest wage settlements ever won by the United Stoelworkers Union (USW). "We have got to have price relief, and we cannot wait too long for one high industry source said. Indications were the companies would increase prices on a "selective" basis, raisingthem on certain product lines at a time.

The 35-month wage settlement signed by the union and 10 major steel firms Monday night was the most expensive since a 45-cent package which ended a 31-day strike in 1955. It was negotiated in Washington last week under considerable pressure from the Johnson administration, whose economic experts termed it non- inflationary. The government experts pegged the wage package at 49 cents an hour, and the union at 47.3 cents. Industry spokesmen, however, set its value initially at slightly more than 01 cents and said this estimate likely would be revised upwards. Most companies said it would take them a week or so to get a clearer picture of how the new contract affected their labor costs.

Prior to the new agreement, which runs from Sept 1, 1965, to Aug. 1,1968, steelworkers averaged S4.40 an hour in wages and fringe benefits. This would rise to nearly $5 an hour by late 1968. The contracts signed Monday night affect 350,000 USW em- ployes of the 10 companies. They will set the pattern for another 100,000 employes of WASHINGTON, Ind.

(UPI) -Former Sen. Homer E. Capehart, who hosted on his big farm in 1938 a "cornfield conference" often credited with revitaling the Republica Party after the Democratic landslides of 1932 and 1936 will entertain the National Farm Power Show on the same farm Sept. 10-12. The 1938 conference drew upwards of 150,000 persons.

Capehart then was a political unknown. But his help to the GOP in restoring grassroots confidence after the first two Franklin D. Roosevelt presidential victories made him an important party figure. He was a top organizer for the Wendell L. Willkie notification ceremony in Elwood in 1940 after Willkie, a Hoosier, was nominated for president by the Republicans.

And a few years later, he was nominated and elected U. S. senator from Indiana, a scat he held through three terms until young Birch E. Bayh upset him in 1962 in his try for a fourth. The farm show, Capehart estimated, will draw more than 300,000 persons, half of themon the middle day of the three-day event when the features in addition to 300 exhibits include the National Tractor Pulling Contest and the North American Sheep Dog Contest.

Invitations have been sent to a fried chicken luncheon Sept. 11 at the lodge on Capehart's farm to all state legislators, federal and state judges, members of Congress from Indiana, the U. S. senators--Including Bayh, Governor Branigin and all former governors.

Some of these other firms already have agreed to match the concessions won from the 10 major companies. The major companies signing the new agreement were: Arm- Co, Bethlehem, Colorado Fuel Iron, Groat Lakes, Inland, Jones Laughlin, Pittsburgh, Republic, U. S. Steel, and Youngstown Sheet Tube.

Industry spokesman stressed that, according to the government's own statistics, "the general level of steel prices. the same level of price as in 1958." Labor costs in that time, however, have risen by 24 per cent, they said. Last April, the President's Council of Economic Advisers drew up a report on steel prices at President Johnson's request. The council said the industry could increase wages by 3 per cent and hold the line on prices. The new wage package figures out at 3.7 per cent of the total employment costs of $4.40 an hour Nixon now convinced well win KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (UPI) Richard M.

Nixon Tuesday said he is now convinced the Communists will be defeated in Viet Nam. The former vice president of the United States said also he opposed anypeacefulsettlement which would grant major concessions to the Viet Cong a tip cig is on the way NEW YORK (UPI) The American Tobacco Co. announced Tuesday it will market a new filter cigarette with a water tip. Robert B. Walker, president and chairman of the board of the tobacco company, said the new brand will be known as Watcrford.

Small capsules of water in the filter can be broken by pinching the tip, Walker said. "Smoking through water dates back to about 1600, when the water pipe first appeared in Persia and India," Walker said, "now for the first time Waterford adapts this ancient device for enjoyment of today's cigarette smokers." Walker said Waterford will sell at the popular filter price and will be introduced in the Buffalo, N.Y. market area. or North Viet Nam. Nixon arrived Tuesday from Saigon after a four-day visit to South Viet Nam.

He said he believed there would be peace once the Communist become convinced they were not going to win. "I am convinced they are not going to win and this is something I was not convinced of 18 months ago," he said in an airport news conference. Nixon declared his support for President Johnson's policy in Viet Nam and said he objected to recent oeace moves which suggested major concessions should be made to the Communists to end the war. "There can be no peace in Viet Nam to which the United States or South Viet Nam agrees involving any concessions to the aggressors," he said. Concessions would only lead to more Communist aggressions in South Viet Nam and the rest of Asia, Nixon said.

Nixon listed as undesirable concessions the setting up of a coalition government in South Viet Nam, the forcing of South Viet Nam to become "neutralist in the Laotian pattern," and the ceding of any part of South Viet Nam to the Communists. He said that until the Viet Cong and Communist North Viet Nam adopt a "hands-off policy" in South Viet Nam, the United States should continue its military operations, including bombings of the north. Fischer ties for lead NEW YORK (UPI) U.S. chess champion Bobby Fischer moved Tuesday into a three- way tie for first place with Borislav Ivkov of Yugoslavia and Vasily Smyslov of Russia in Havana's Capablanca Memorial Tournament. Fischer moved from a second place position to the front rank by defeating Gilberto Garcia of Cuba Tuesday morning in a match that had been adjourned overnight.

Garcia conceded the game on his 53rd move. Fischer will play Ivkov Wednesday in what observers describe as one of the most important matches of the tourney. The 22-year-old American's moves will be cabled from a chess club here to the tournament in Cuba because the U.S. State Department would not give Fischer permission to visit the Communist- controlled island.
