South Bend Delays Time Change Action Ministers Oppose South Bend Change INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — More than a million Hoosiers hagp been beaten out of an hour of their Uves they can’t recover unless they move to Peorik. . , ,; r \ <• - The snowballing switch from central standard time to, permanent. -year around, eastern standard time has engulfed the eight northeastern Indiana counties, appeared ala plague In isolated areas throughout the state and seems to have little substantial opposition. The one objection that has cropped up at various meetings and been given its greatest hearing in South Bend is the state law which establishes midnight CST as closing time for taverns. Ministers point out that changing to EST would give such places an extra hour to operate. That and objections by Notre Dame that a change now would confuse the sell-out crowd planning to attend the Nov. 27 Southern California game were largely responsible for the delay by the council Monday night in changing the time. Sentiment appeared certain to move the South Bend clocks into agreement with Bluffton, Elkhart, Goshen, Fort Wayne, Decatur, Huntington, Hartford City, Montpelier, Portland, all of which already have voted to switch. Arguments remain to be heard next Monday in Indianapolis and next Tuesday in Marion concerning the wisdom in beating citizens out of a hour of their lives. New Castle will listen to an ordinance mandating the clock fixing Monday. Plans by the Indiana Farm Bureau to pass a resolution opposing such tinkering with time at its state convention in Indianapolis next week may come too late to have any effect on much of the state. The Bureau has been a traditional foe of daylight saving time (same as EST) and was the force behind the 1951 legislature bill that prohibited use of DST. That law had no teeth and was generally ignored except for the southwestern section of Indiana which stayed on CST. The one saving grace about the former plan of changing in the spring and fall was that the hour lost in the spring was regained in the fall. However, it seems improbable that the hour , Hooniets are losing in the state now in the permanent switch ever will regain it without moving. Time changing in most cities has not been opposed by industrial leaders who main it will make little difference to them. State safety director Joe Lingo has fa vored the switch as giving the homeward bound motorists another evening hour of daylight in which to make the journey with greater safety. Trade in i.

Harlan's Grandfather Supreme Court Judge

NEW YORK (INS) — The name of John Marshall Harlan travels a familiar path to the senate today for confirmation as associate justice of the U. S. supreme court. The newly nominated judge has re-lived what seems, in many ways, a page out of history, for 77 years ago his grandfather, John Marshall Harlan, took his seat on the high tribunal. The tall, 55-year-old namesake of one of the court’s most distinguished justices, now on the second federal court of appeals, has had an illustrious career as lawyer and public servant and in World War 11. “I know he wanted the supreme court.” said Ethel Andrews Harlan when told at their East Side New York home Monday of her husband's nomination. But the jurist himself, interviewed in his paneled chambers in New York City’s federal court house, spoke only in judicious terms. “Naturally, I am deeply honored,’’ he said from behind his paper-cluttered desk. I-ater. his quiet judicial air gave way to a young man’s smile as he mentioned that he was named after his famous grandfather. Then he added: "Where m ygrandfather got the first names, I don’t know.’’ John Marshall was fourth chief justice and gave the high court new dignity, establishing it as the final interpreter of the constitution. There seemed little doubt the senate would confirm Judge Harlan, who was nominated by President Eisenhower to fill the vacancy created by the death Oct. 9 of Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson. Judge Harlan would become the third Republican on the nation's highest court. Mr. Eisenhower appointed then California Gov. Earl Warren as chief justice and former President Harry S. Truman named then Sen. Harold H. Burton of Ohio as associate justice. If Judge Harlan should be confirmed soon enough, he could take part tn still pending issues of a decision which goes back directly to his famous grandfather. His grandfather, the late Justice Harlan cast the only dissenting vote in the Plessy vs Ferguson case, decided in 1896, which laid down the doctrine of racial segregation. The supreme court since has come to accept the grandfather’s dissenting assertion that the constitution must be ‘‘color blind.” The new high court appointee wag graduated from Princeton uni versity and spent three years as a Rhodes scholar at Balliol college, Oxford, Eng. The judge began serving the i public shortly after receiving his law degree from New York university and being admitted to the i New York bar. His grandfather became a county judge only five years after studying law. Judge Harlan joined the firm "oE'R&dt, Clark. Buckner snd Howlland. He served from 1925 to 1927 as assistant to the U. 3. attorney in New York. He sent showman Earl Carroll to prison in 1928, when he prosecuted the prohibi-tion-era case popularly called the bathtub case. Carrol allegedly had put a showgirl in a tub of champagne during a party. From 1928 to 1930. the judge served as a special assistant attorney general. He went Into uniform during World War 11 to become a colonel in charge of the eighth air force’s I operational research section. His grandfather served as a I colonel in the 10th Kentucky U.S, J volunteer infanrty in the Civil ■ War. From 1951 to 1952, Judge HarI lan was chief counsel of the New ’ York state crime commission I which investigated gambling in

Staten Island and upstate New York. Later, be became one of the attorheys defending “some of the Du Pont companies" in a federal anti-trust suit. His grandfather, when a member of the supreme court, drafted a court decision which applied to railways provisions of the Sherman anti trust laws. Last'March, he was sworn into his first post as a jurist—judge of the second circuit court of appeals embracing New York, Connecticut and Vermont. President Eisenhower appointed him to the post. When he took the oath, he resigned from the same firm he had joined a quarter of century ago. Only now the firm name was Foot, Ballantine, Harlan, Busby and Palmer. Soil Conservationist Assigned To County Because of the heavy load of work here for the soil conservation service, artell Burrell, formerly of Angola, has joined soil conservationist Cletus Gillman at the local office in Decatur. Burrell, a soil conservation aid, has worked tfjith the SOS so/ one and a halt years in Steuben county.

Says Sheppard Wife Told Os Unhappiness Witness Testifies Marilyn Sheppard Talked Os Divorce CLEVELAND (INS) —The words of Marilyn Sheppard came back from the grave today to dispute Dr. Sheppard’s claim that the last four months of hia murdered wife's marital life were "the happeist." Mrs. Nancy Adhern. an attractive girl friend of the back-killing victim, testified Marilyn confided in her in April that she had “marital difficulties" with Dr. Sam. Mrs. Ahern, who was the last person to see the pregnant woman alive early on July 4th - except for the killer - testified that Marilyn told her the accused wifekiller talked about a divorce. Mrs. Ahern, the third state witness to take the stand, was the most damaging to the defense. In quick succession she testified; She double-locked the front door to the house a few hours before the murder. __ Mrs. Sheppard told her Dr. Sam was talked out of a divorce by a close friend. The murder victim confided to her that Dr. Sam had bought a watch for “a young lady.” Vivacious Susan Hayes, a -medical technician who has admitted living together with Dr. Sam in California, has told authorities she is the one who received the gift. Mrs. Ahern, a dinner guest of the Sheppards the night of July 3rd with her husband, Don. gave her testimony over strong defense objections. Under questioning by assistant prosecutor Tom Parrino, she was asked: Q. These marital difficulties that you mention. When did you hear them - before or after the trip the Sheppards made to California in March of 1954 ? A. After. Q. From what source did you learn of these difficulties’ A. Marilyn Sheppard. Q. Where? A. At her home. Q. Will you tell the jitry-'what Marilyn Sheppard stated to you? Chief defense counsel William Corrigan jumped te his feet objecting. He called the testimony of the witness hearsay, claiming that since the person who made the statement is dead, he object#. Parrino, in winning a court ruling in his favor, told Presiding Judge Edward Blythin: — “On the basis of the opening statement by defense counsel (Fred) Garmone “that the last four months were the happiest," we feel Marilyn Sheppard, though not here at this time, her statements are very competent evidence.” The prosecutor then returned to his line of questioning. Q. Will you give us the month this conversation, happened? A. April of 1954. Tell the court what Marilyn Sheppard stated to you. Al Mrs. Sheppard said that On Dr. Sheppard’s return from Los Angeles with Dr. (itandallal Chapman,) Dr. Chapman told Mrs. Sheppard that Sam was thinking of a divorce and told Chapman about it on the trip home. On the trip to the ranch where Mrs. Chapman. Dr. Chapman and Dr. Sheppard discussed it and Dr. Chapman convinced Dr. Sheppard that he and Marilyn were right for each other and they should try again. There was a conversation about a watch Dr. Sheppard had bought. It was a watch for a young lady. Mrs. Sheppard mentioned the watch and I asked her how ahe knew about it and she said she had either j seen Dr. Sheppard

southern newspapers publishers association in Boca Ratop Monday Williams asked if there is a “cold war" on newspapers. He cited a number of Instances in which he said the press was slandered and asked: "Is there a hard core—perhaps small in actual numbers but zealous in their mission, trying to weaken respect by the pubUc for the newspaper ?” Williams said the process of cutting into the public's right to information comes from “federal, state and local government, professional groups and individuals.” If you nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Demoe-at Want Ad.
