John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) in Indiana. But, as votes seeped in from Tuesday's other presidential candidates counted victories, too.

Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota won his first Democratic primary in the light-voting District of Columbia. As expected, Kennedy won all Ohio's delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Nixon apparently took all Ae Republican delegates in that In two nonpresidenlial prima ries, tfie results focused on issues as well as personalities.

In Florida, a States Rights man and a racial moderate won the right to enter the Democratic runoff for governor. Huge Vote for Nixon In Indiana, Nixon pried up huge Republican popular vote oubpolling Kennedy's Democratic vote by a good margin. With returns from 3,665 of the state's 4,261 precincts, Nixon hac 359,503 votes and Kennedy had 286,988 votes. This gave Nixon Indiana's 32 votes on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention and Kennedy its 34 votes on the first ballot at the Democratic convention.

Kennedy's opponents, Lar Daly of Chicago and John H. Latham of Rockville, polled almost one quarter as many votes as the senator.

They said they were amazed a the extent to which he is person ally taking charge of politica matters. In the past, some Repub licans have felt that Eisenhower too often took a nonpartisan posi tion avoiding political battles.

House (D-Tex) Speaker already Sam Rayburn has predicte Congress will pass school aid housing, federal employe paj raise, minimum wage and dis tressed area bills. Some of thesi may invite presidential vetoes. But a Democrat unlisted on the ballot, Adlai Stevenson, also showed he had support in the nation's capital. A slate of convention delegates pledged to him held second place behind the Humphrey slate.

There even was a possibility one Stevenson candidate might capture a delegate spot. But, since the District of Columbia's, Democrats vote under the unit rule, Humphrey was certain to have the city's nine votes at the Democratic National Con- venion in July. The Republicans had no presidential preference ballot. their delegate candidates wer pledged to Nixon. The District of Columbia will have eight votes at the Republican convention.

He did not have any complaints "anywhere along the line." "From all reports received, everything was satisfactory," Mr. Tyndale said. He said that Renovo and Mill Hall were particularly outstanding. "They really put it on at Renovo," he declared, in speaking about the problems being up to the local leadership in planning and carrying them out. 1 Million 'Dead or Hurt' HARRKBURG (AP) -More than four million Pennsylvanians are theoretically dead or injured and another two million homeless in die aftermath of mock enemy nuclear attacks.

State Civil Defense headquarters said fallout from two waves of attacks on a dozen cities and those in nearby states left industrial areas uninhabitable except in shelters. The attacks by a mythical enemy were in conjunction with a nationwide Civil Defense test. They began during the public phase of the test Tuesday-nfrom 2 'to 2:30 p.m.—-and lasted until 11:16 p.m. MILL HALL The real estate tax increase ordered by Mill Hall and Bald Eagle Township school districts adds to the proof that the bulk of public school financing will fall upon the shoulders of local districts. Bald Eagle Township directors increased real estate millage from 35 to 80 at their regular meeting last night.

The 45 additional mills is just enough to cover their debt for the 1960-61 school-year. Mill Hall directors also ordered an increase on taxes of the prop erty owner. Home owners will be paying 25 mills more next year, or a total of 65 mills. Maximum Taxing Both districts have reached the maximum in taxing powers on per capita and income taxes. Bald Eagle Township discussed raising entertainment tax effecting the drive-in theatre and Clinton Country Club, but found it would not provide enough money to lessen burden on property owners.

(AP) City Councilman Chester D. Wolfe, 57, of Williamsport, died suddenly today at his liome of a heart attack. A Republican, he had been che council's director of public safety for seven years. He also was chairman of the Central District of the Pennsylvania League oi Cities. refusel of the State Department of Public Instruction to increase appropriations to school districts was immediately followed by lift-! ing the ceiling on real estate taxing power.

The state is now paying 14 per cent less to school districts than in 1956, Mr. Hayes said. And that 14 per cent has been placed upon the local districts, he added. The fact that the state has given districts unlimited taxing power on only real estate forces school districts to over-tax property own ers, Mr. Welch said.

Fire Repair Expenses Both school districts have a $25,000 fire repair expense to cover for the next school year.

Ricker. Dilemma of Peace The dilemma of disarmamen was described by Mr. Whitney a the impasse caused by mutu mistrust between the U. S. an Russia.

He quoted President senhower as having said, in Indi that he believed Soviet Premie Khrushchehv is sincere in his di armament proposals. He quoted Russian spokesman at the UN a having said, "We'd disarm a once," if the U. S. should ahead with disarmament regar less of the consequences. To the question, "Why don't yo do it first?" the answer was don't trust the Americans." Sine the Americans have the same action, he said, the crux of th problem is trust.

"The only way to create trust he said, "is to take the risk trusting. NYC Can't Drop Its Freight Agent Here HARRISBURG Public Utility Commission Tuesday refused to allow the New York Central Railroad to drop the freight agent at its Lock Haven (Castanea) station. The commission said there is enough business at the station to warrant continuation of the service. the school auditorium. Last night, spectators overflowed the large gymnasium, as 500 junior and senior high school pupils displayed their physical talents in the BEN Gym Show.

All classes participated in the program of calisthenics and dance under the direction of physical education teachers'. Barry Vannauker, director of the 80-voice senior high school chorus, will open the program with a lilting number, "Open Your Heart to Spring." The Junior-Senior High School Band, under the direction of Howard Larney, featured in the second half of the program. Members of the junior high school chorus are rehearsing several numbers to sing during intermission. Other vocal selections by the senior chorus included familiar by Richard Rogers. "It's' a Grand Night for Singing" and "You'll Never Walk Alone." Scott 1 "This Is My Country" adds Negro Spiritual.

'Soon Ah Will Be Done." The choral program will come to a fun-packed close with "Country Style" by Simeone. Sparkling with march and Latin American rhythms, the instrumental program will begin with "March Courage" and will include "March Labanda Nescente" by Sbraccit, and the PMEA March. Contrast is provided by the second selection, "Three Scenes," by Walters which musically describes a forest glade, a fiesta and Sunset Boulevard. Turning to a Classical mood, the band will play "Prelude and Chorale" by Western rhythms are evident in "The Stage Coach Trail" by Grundman, and new sounds will be heard in "Tango Triste" by Dedrick. The BEN Band will also play two sections of the "United States Steel Suite," the US Steel March and Tower of Steel.

Although they increased real estate tax last year from 22 to 35 mills and per capita from $10 to $15, the township board would not receive enough revenue for basic expenses next year. This high rate, of taxation is not unusual, Mr. Welch said. Bellefonte school district is collecting ffl mills for school purposes, and State College has proposed 83 mills.

Mr. Welch added that the school district may possibly receive 75 oer cent of the total cost for fire repairs to the school building in reimbursement from the state department. It is board directors feel, that the millage will be dropped considerably the following year. The new tax rates will become effective at the beginning of the school fiscal year, July 4.

Replies to Questions In the question period whicl ollowed the forum talks. Mr Bourov was asked why the So viet Union does not accept th principle of inspection as a pre ude to disarmament arrange ments. He replied that the Rus sians do accept inspection as necessity in the control of arms. He replied to another questio hat successful disarmament woul require the agreement of all major nations, including China.

On the principles of Communism as enunciated by Karl Marx and Nikolai Lenin, he told ques- that the Soviet Union believes that various nations are evolving into a "more perfect" type of government which may take similar forms to that of the Soviet Union, but these changes are taking place without the in tervention of the USSR. He denied that the principles of Communism would lead his nation into violent interference with others. He said "the Germans" originated the Communist Manifesto. Question on Satellites Queried on why the USSR does not release its hold on the satellite nations, he said the Soviet troops are stationed only in Poland, Hungary and East Germany by agreement with the govern Also Hill Charge on Boats Draws Criticism One-way traffic on Bellefonta Avc. was voted down 3-2 last light by City Council which (hen bled 4-1 in favor of one-side jarking.

No one answered. After a five-minute recess to talk over the matter, Council returned to vote against a 90-day trial period of one-way traffic between Main St. and the BelJefonte Ave. railroad crossing.
