George N.

Craig, a Republican, on the state's "Right to work" law. Both Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R) and House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck declined comment on Craig's warning that Indiana Republicans are in for an election licking this fall if they continue to support the law.

Some Democrats indicated agreement with Craig's description of the 1947 act as "an albatross around the neck of those who support it." Rep. E. Ross Adair, one of the three Indiana Republicans left In the House after the party's 1958 election reversals, said the law is "a matter- for determination by the State Legislature." Adair said, "I certainly agree with what Gov. Craig suggests when he says the Republican party should be a party for all groups." Craig said the Indiana GOP 'is especially limiting itself to a selected few and it will become and remain a minority party unless it liberalizes its policies." Rep. J.

Edward Roush, one of the six new Indiana House Democrats, said he agreed that the labor law "aroused organized labor to the extent that it became a potent force." Rep. John Brademas, another Democratic freshman, said he thinks Craig "has performed a great service by his forthright description of the Indiana GOP as a party of private interests limited to a selected few." Brademas edded, "He is certainly correct in criticizing Indiana Republican leaders for failing to serve all legitimate groups within our society."

His contract was not re newed." As for a successor to the bas ketball coach, Klitzke said, "We are interested in finding an experienced head coach and assist ant coach to take charge in our new gym (now under construe tion)." 1 Says He's Fired Milholland said he and his assistant, Ed Knarr, junior varsity and freshman basketball coach, "refused to sign resignations under identical circumstances." He and Knarr were fired, according to Milholland. Milholland told a reporter he had signed and returned a contract for next school year and was under the impression he was being retained as coach and teacher.

"I took my lumps last season," said Milholland, referring to the 5 won, 17 lost record of the Trojan basketball team. "We have some fine material coming up.
