Diphtheria Epidemic
Ends in Michigan City
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. —UP—
The Michigan City health officer
declared Tuesday a diphtheria ep-
idemic had ended. Sixteen persons
were reported stricken.
Dr. D. G. Bernoske said all vic-
tims in the epidemic which be-
gan Feb. 17 have recovered. He
said no new cases have been re-
ported since April 10.

gion shortly after the turn of the
century. The Valley consistently
has shown a steady growth in
agricultural, business and tourist
fields—but nothing like this sud-
den culmination of the planners’
dreams has been seen in years.
The hotel project at Edinburg
exemplifies the new spirit of de-
velopment that has hit the region.
The city has a population of only
16,000. But it reached the $500,000
| stock purchasing goal in three
opened for business at Harlingen
this week. And Edinburg citizens
chipped in with $300,000 worth of
stock purchases to build an $800,-
000 hotel in the Valley’s gateway
city.

Although they generally praised
"en. Randolph McCall Pate for
frankly laying bare details of the
tragedy, committee members said
the matter was still “wide open"
—particularly regarding immedi-

Pate, Marine Corps comman-
dapt, told the committee Tuesday
that Staff Sgt. Matthew C. Mc-

Methodists Take
Up Resolution on
Racial Problems
MINNEAPOLIS —UP- A new,
strengthened resolution condemn-
ing racial segregation went before
the lawmakers of the Methodist
Church Wednesday.
The committee on the state of
the church sought to meet
charges of weakness by a flat
statement that all forms of dis-
crimination and segregation must
be driven from Methodism with
"reasonable speed.”
There are more drastic propos-
als for meeting the segregation
issue before the quadrennial gen-
eral conference of the Methodist
church meeting here.
The most controversial is a de-
mand by the Rev. W. S. Boyd of
Johnstown, Pa., that Methodists
“acknowledge our sin” in main-
taining a separate jurisdiction for
Negro congregations.
Boyd’s amendment threw the
conference into hot debate which
postponed a final vote on the is-
sue Tuesday. More debate was
expected Wednesday before the
committee’s resolution, Boyd’s
amendment, and a “go slow” plan
for a four-year study of segrega-
tion come to a vote.
Following Tuesday’s debate, the
state of the church committee
met for two hours debating,
changes in one sentence of its
recommended statement of policy.
The original sentence said the
conference recognizes the church
has not attained the goal of de-
segregation. but added "we re-
joice in the progress made.”
confer Wednesday with Pate.
Rep. Paul Cunningham <R-
Iowa) said he wasn’t satisfied
with Pate’s explanation about the
part played by McKeon’s superior
officers.
Cunningham said if McKeon
rates a manslaughter charge,
then maybe “they do, too, at least
the one immediately over him.”
“I don’t like to see a non-com
get all the blame,” he said in an
interview. "They’re punishing one
man, maybe others need punish-
ing. too.”
Cunningham said he wanted a
fuller explanation of where the of-
ficers were on that fateful Sun-
day night, what responsibility
they bore for the sergeant’s ac-
tions and why they shouldn’t
share more of the blame. He said
if the Marine Corps doesn’t volun-
teer the answers, he will demand
them when Pate reports later on
his shake-up of Marine training.
