Capt. Robert Reilly said Taylor was to appear in court at Columbus and whs expected to waive extradition and be brought back to this city for questioning concerning the Good Friday rape of Miss Marie Chapman, 27. j Reilly said Taylor, who had ah alibi for Friday, was arrested on a tip from Indianapolis. The captain said he "can’t say Taylor is definitely our man,” but he is considered a most likely suspect because his method of operation in six previous criminal assaults was similar to that of the assailant who struck down Miss Chapman as she left the Broadway Baptist church, beating her so badly physicians at first feared for her life. , Miss Chapman,, still in critical condition at General Hospital, was reported improving slowly. Taylot reportedly' was' at the home of a brother in, Columbus when two Negro police!detectives apprehended, him. ? Officers said Taylor had a record of 18 assaults, six of them criminal, 'before he was sent to the Indiana village for epileptics. He escaped from the village in Sept., 1952.

New [ Regulations On Damaged Wheat Reach Compromise On FDA Proposals WASHINGTON VP — New regulations to curb use of insectdamaged wheat will pave the government money as well as protect public health officials, said today. The said the regulations, effective July 1, represent a compromise of the stahdards first proposed by the U. S. food & drug admin- \ istration." | ) Agriculture department officials* estimated that if the original FDA i had gone into efeet. 'it j would pave cost the department $5,000,000 in losses on damaged grain included in the more than 200,000,000 bushels of wheat stored up in the federal price support program. But a Spokesman said. no. federally owned grain should be seized ’ under the new standards. The new regulations allow federal seizure if there are up to 80 weevildamaged kernels per 4.000 kernels. The earlier proposal would have allowed action if three kernin 4,000 were damaged. The new regulations represent the \governmept’s first public health move against insect damage in stored grain. Currently protection is offered only against gram containing rodent filth. Monday’s announcement outlin- I ing the new restrictions was made in a “memo of understanding. on I grain sanitation program” between the federal security agency, which houses the FDA, and the agriculture department. Under the program, the depart)- i ment will make the checks on grain owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation, diverting infected wheat from domestic ■ human food' channels. The FDA will inspect grain stored commercially by the I grain trade. [* , j year-old Diane Weggeland. who act companied McManus on his holdup ventures. She describes herself his common-law wife.'
