The car was traveling north on llth St. when the child was struck about 8:15 a.m. today, according to police. No arrest was made. City League of Women Voters, the candidates each had an allotted time period to address the audience of several hundred persons.

Written questions were submitted to individual candidates after the speech-making. Democrat Edward F. Kelly and his Republican opponent for the 2nd District congressional seat, Earl Landgrebe, each outlined the major issues of the campaign as they see them. Calls for Justice Kelly, a Lafayette attorney, called for justice for all Americans. Such justice would include the strengthening of the family farm, extension of minimum wage laws Jo all persons, higher pay for teachers and police officials better jobs and housing for the underprivi-ledged, hopefully with private enterprise aid, federal tax reforms, increase in Social Security payments for the elderly and abolition of the Electoral College, according to the Democratic nominee.

But we wont have justice for all Americans if we are tied down in Vietnam, he added. Kelly stated that he was for an honorable settlement of the war, perferrably by diplomatic negotiations. The Democrat again criticized Landgrebes past voting record f- facilities, which will include several new hangars, runway extensions and enlargement of the airport to the west by rerouting the Ed-wardsburg Rd. ADD ELKHART HANGARS These are two of four new hangars being constructed at the Elkhart Municipal Airport The additions are part of an extensive ex of airport turn of the American servicemen with the warning that in another 48 hours there would be no North Korea." A contention from the au- dience that Landgrebe voted as a state legislator. Referring against a bill prohibiting segregation of state public schools to the retirement of incumbent of delegation of Amish men appeared before Gov.

Braniginto protest the brilliant hues used on the sign. They said the sip violates the Amish religious code against ostentation and display. Several have been arrested because of refusal to display the sign on their horse-drawn buggies. Signs Yellow-Orange The signs are yellow-orange with red border. Arthur Raney acting state police superintendent, said he hoped that even after the requirement was lifted safety-minded persons would continue to display the triangles during the temporary suspension.

I Raney said the only way to suspend enforcement of the law for the Amish was to suspend it for all. In the meantime, said he would look into the posi-bility that alternate sips be devised for use by the Amish, possibly something more toned-down which would be acceptable to them. Ranv said Ohio has such alternate signs. Suspension of the sip is only temporary and the law will be enforced-again -as-soon-asJhe question of an alternative is determined, Raney said. Raney added state police will recommend a future course which may involve a new hearing and a new promulgation of 5 HAND INJURED IN CORN PICKER The Tribune's Special Service GOSHEN Burns Stark 15, of Rt.

Raps Negativism I have tried to tell the truth about the voting record of my opponent. He has voted against law and order, the working man, progressive education, farmers, aged, black man, and conservation.

I dont think negativism is the answer to solve our problems in the 20th century, Kelly Landgrebe, who gained a repu-tation in the.state As sembly for his no struck out at the Vietnam war, increasing crime, the U.S. Supreme Court and inflation.

Foreign aid and fat cat farmers were the topics. U.S. Rep. John Brademas, D-South Bend, said in a television appearance Tuesday night that Republican Congressional Nominee Will Erwins contention that Brademas has supported aid to nations trading with North Viet nam is false. There currently is no such aid, Brademas said.

Claims Falsification The congressman said the charge was a deliberate falsifi-ication of my record and is categorically, explicitly, bluntly false and untrue. In eight campaigns for Congress, Brademas said, he never had his record so misrepresented and falsified. Erwin.accused by the Brademas camp of denouncing and ac cepting federal assistance at the same time, said today thaUhe claim that he is against federal subsidies for Hoosiers is an attempt to further falsify, my record. Said Erwin in reference to the contention that he opposes subsidies, I have never stated such a position. Will Cite Specifics Erwin said 'he was planning a detailed response to the Brademas- charge, of.recordfalsifica-tion.

He indicated that he would cite specific votes bv the 'con- gressman. rwin said he has had the best research people I could secure studying Brademas vot-ing record. The best way tb cla ify the record would have betiir in joint Erwin said, but Brademas had" declined-to participate in joint appearances. The Republican nominee from Etna Green said Brademas is panicking. Ernest Bixel of Plymouth, the 3rd District Democratic chairman, who raised the complaint about the farm subsidies to Erwins family farm corporation.

added to the earlier statement by saying the Erwin" operation is the only farm corporation in the 3rd District which received over $20,000 in federal farm subsidies in 1967. Bix'el Makes Charge Bixel also said that Erwin's Triple Corporation is one of only six in the state that will get over $40,099 in farm subsidies in 19G8.r Brademas has contended in a speech Tuesday that the maxi mum subsidy for an Individual farmer or farm corporation should be $10,030 a year. He said he supported an unsuccessful effort in the last Congress to set that ceiling. Brademas, who has avoided appearing with his opponent or even mentioning his name dur ing the campaign, said that it is wrong for a few fat cat farmers to eat high off the federal hog when smaller farmers are suffering declining income.
