Indiana Democrats Adopt Platform Amid Attacks on Gov Craig
The 1956 Indiana Democratic platform calls for end to government secrecy, 100 percent parity for farmers, a guaranteed annual wage, easier credit for family farmers, and political reforms including repeal of the Taft Hartley act and compulsory arbitration. It accuses Gov Craig of secrecy and hypocrisy over a toll road funds probe and urges higher teacher salaries, veteran bonus payments, and creation of a veterinary school. The platform also criticizes Eisenhower for foreign policy failures and big government. It notes Mars has two moons, Jupiter eleven, Saturn nine, Uranus five, and Neptune two.
