He is not elected, but is appointed to the $4-a-month position by the president of Chile, Redenbacher explained. Both the mayor and university vice president, who was educated in Germany and Russia, spoke English and both received the Redenbachers warmly though the visitors had not made appointments with them. Speaking of South America in general terms, Redenbacher said that agriculturally, the country "is a long way behind the United States." It is a country of contrasts whose peoples belong to the "have's" or "have-nots," said Redenbacher, adding that the middle class is gradually making itself felt in some areas.

The Valparaiso resident wrote that Mrs. Brown "saw balls of fire in the air from their Florida residence when the freight yard in Hialeah was blasted." Brown said this area in which the Feb. 10 dynamiting occurred was less than a mile, directly east, from the home of a former Valparaiso resident, Mrs. Helen Arnold. A news clipping from the Miami Herald of Feb.

28, was forwarded by Brown, listing the major criminal acts along the railway since a strike started more than a year ago. An editorial from the same paper commended President Lyndon Johnson for ordering the FBI to begin investigating, and requesting state and federal officials to hammer out a settlement. To this Brown commented, "There was no conern by LBJ until he got into the act (dynamiting had been reported just a few miles from where the President was speaking on Feb. 27).

ITS REPORTED THAT the fine print in the lower right hand corner of the "owner" copy of the 1964 passenger certificate of registration issued by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles says, "Registration expires Feb. 29, 1965." Better check the calendar. There's no such date in February, 1965. Somebody goofed.

The Valparaiso Republican de clared his candidacy at a press conference in the Lembke Motor Inn Lyric room this morning, on a platform of running the state as a business enterprise dedicated to the best possible services for the least possible costs. He said he will carry that message not only to Republican leaders this spring, but to Re publican followers as well. If he is nommated at the state convention in June, he asserted, it will be by a groundswell be ginning with grassroots dele gates.

Appeals To Delegates "My strategy will be to appeal to the delegates themselves," Landgrebe said. I declaring my candidacy because am convinced that the business of the state of Indiana can best be conducted by a businessman," Landgrebe told reporters today at a morning news conference. The senator said that as a businessman himself he is deep ly concerned with departure from business principles in the administration of Indiana gov ernment. "As lawyers are at home in the courtroom," Landgrebe said, "so I am on familiar ground in running a business operation." He asserted that govern ment as in private industry, "revenues must balance expend itures and both must be trimmed to the bone; services offered to consumers must be efficiently produced whether the costs are recovered from sales dollars or from tax dollars."

Earl F.

Landgrebe pointed to several specific issues he intends to solve during his campaign. "One thing I have to he asserted, "is the rumor that the state Republican convention is controlled and the delegates are normally committed many, many months before the convention arrives." "I'm going to find out if this is true," he promised. "I'm going to find out if the delegates are removed from the people and disregard the wishes of the people," Landgrebe, secondly indicated he was going to campaign vigorously on a tax repeal program. For Tax Reform "Is a basic tax reform economy out of date? This is another thing I'm going to find out about during my campaign," he added. He was introduced by Porter Superior Judge Russell Jftxon, who said he was returning a favor to the state senator for personally giving him the impetus to enter the field of politics two years ago.

Landgrebe said he had talked with several county chairmen about endorsement "but they were shown already to be committed to another candidate." "This has been one of the primary reasons," he said, "why I have to go to the delegates." Not Always Pleased Adding that he has the "uni-q businessman's qualifications" that the state needs at this time," Landgrebe noted, "I have been in the General Assembly some six years, through rejylar and special session. I have the experience of observing the Indiana government in action, and I have not been pleased always with what I have seen." "With the background I have had in politics, campaigning with my own Dad 30 years ago, active in the Republican party all my life, a dues, paying member of the party all my life, I fel at this time, as a duty to myself, my family, community and state, to become a candidate for the office of Governor of Indiana. "My history in politics, Including mv father's, is that of an underdog battling his way ud. "I'm out for only one office, that of Governor of Indiana. I don't want any deals.

Bray, who has represented Indiana's 7th District for 14 years, became the sixth candi date for the GOP nomination. Bray denied that he had told Lt. Gov.

Richard Ristine three weeks ago that he would not enter the gubernatorial fight in which Ristine has been polling as top choice. "Dick Ristine was in my home three weeks ago, and we have been friends for a long time," Bray said. "But I did not tell him I would not enter the governor race." The Martinsville man denied that his entrance was part of a "dump Ristine drive" by some party leaders. "I believe I am the best candidate to be elected for governor," Bray said. "That is the only reason I am entering." Bray said his conversations with many people, both in and out of the Republican party had convinced him he could win the governorship race this year and that "whether the Republicans win or lose depends greatly upon who is the candidate for governor." He said this was the "real reason" that he decided not to run for the seat of Sen.

Vance Hartke, D-Ind. Bray said the fact that Rep. Donald Bruce, R-Indianapolis, was a candidate for this seat had nothing to do with his decision to go for governor instead of Senate. "People came to me and asked me to run for both offices," Bray said. the ages of 21 and 36 with special awards.
