Irvin’s Execution Is Set For July 9 New Execution Dote For Mad Dog Killer '"' PRINCETON. Ind. (UP)-A new execution date of July 9 was set today for Leslie Irvin, the “mad dog" killer charged with killing persons in Indiana and Kentucky in a four-month robbery spree. Judge A. Dale Eby of Gibson Circuit Court set the date in response to a ruling by the Indiana attorney general that it was his responsibility to pick a new time for Irvin to die .in the electric chair at Indiana State Prison. Irvin previously received three stays of execution while his attorneys fought to spare his life, at least until Ul regal channels were exhausted.

convicted and sentenced to death for shooting W. Wesley Kerr, Evansville filling station attendant, originally set the death date for last June 12. Two reprieves were granted while the case was appealed. The last previous execution date was March 29. A few days before it arrived, a “justice of the U.S. Supreme Court stayed the execution to give attorneys a chance to exhaust further legal moves in Irvin’s behalf. The Indiana Supreme Court once turned down a new trial for Irvin, and later refused to reconsider its action. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harold H. Burton granted a stay March 21 to permit defense attorneys time to appeal to the nation’s highest court. Irvin was convicted in December, 1955, nearly a year after a series of “Chinese execution” style slayings in Evansville, Posey County, Ind., and Henderson, Ky. Victims were shot in the back of the head while kneeling with thenhands tied behind their backs. A month after his conviction. Irvin broke out of the Princeton Jail and was free for weeks until captured in California. Defends Record Os Democrat Congress National Chairman Butler In Defense WASHINGTON /UP) — Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler said today the administration is to blame if Congress is moving too slowly. In a speech prepared for a Women’s National Democratic Club luncheon, Butler joined Democratic congressional leaders in defending the record of the Demo-cratic-controlled Congress so far this year. * Both President Eisenhower and his chief deputy, Sherman Adams, have criticized Congress in the past few days for failure to handle the administration legislative program with greater speed. In other political developments: —The Republican National Committee research staff expressed hope of recapturing the House in the 1958 congressional election if the farm situation improves but said Republicans “have their work cut out for them” in the Senate race. Reporting again in big cities in the 1956 election, the GOP group also thought Republicans should be favored to win the White House in 1960 even without President Eisenhower., —The Democrats reported a “marked gain” in Democratic votes in some suburban areas ,ln 1956 and said they plan to find out “what started this trend and what we can do to encourage it.” The statement was made by Mrs. Katie Louchheim, vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Report Benny Hooper Is Out Os Danger Survived Day-Long Entrapment In Well MANORVILLE. N.Y. (UP) — Seven - year -old Benny Hooper, who survived a entrapment in the bottom of a one-foot wide well shaft, today was reported out of danger and well on ’ the road to recovery. Week-end X-rays showed that ’ the sandy-haired 55-pound young- ' ster w’as suffering from a simple • inflammation of the right lung and inflammations of the bron- . chial tubes and the sinuses. In addition, he was under treatment for a nerve injury of the left arm. But doctors indicated that the slender, lue-eyed boy, whose entombment in the dark, damp well well shaft touched off a 34-hour long drama, would be. able to leave Bayview Hospital in Mastic Beach by the week end. Looks Good, Lively “He looks good and is very lively,” said Dr. J. H. Kris, the physician who has attended Benny since his fall into the well Thursday evening. Kris, who supervised the pumping of oxygen into the narrow hole throughout Benny’s entrapment, said the boy would remain in an oxygen tent until the spot on his lung—a little larger a dime — disappears. Doctors described the lung inflammation as "pneumonitis,” a mild form of pneumonia. Surrounded by toys and get-well telegrams from friends and anonymous well - wishers, Benny still was not permitted -to sit up, except for meals — hnd then only when supported by nurses.

- - A r--tors emphasized, however, that this was a precautionary measure. The wide-eyed youngster, doctors noted, was well-enough Sunday to devour a milk ahaka, some chocolate pudding and cereal, in addition to a variety of beverages. r With his temperature at 192.8 degrees Saturday night, doctors feared that complications might ■ set in, jeopardizing his recovery. , Sunday, however, the boy’s tem- • perature dropped to 100 degrees at t 9 p.m., then t 0.99 this morning. Tells About Ordeal i Doctors, nurses, the boy’s parents and other visitors avoided, ; discussing the terrifying ordeal. . But not Benny. “I was mad down there. I was gritting my. teeth. I was swearing,” he told his mother. “I could feel the sand between my teeth.” The child’s father, Benjamin Hooper Sr., who dug the well that trapped his son, expressed his thanks for money contributions that reached the hospital. But he said they will be returned wherever possible. “I. intend to return all money we receive," he said. “I've paid my . medical bills before and-I’ll do it this time. I thank these.>«>pie but we can't take their money.” Muncie Woman Dead Os Gunshot Wounds MUNCIE (UP) — Mrs. Lola Mae Parmer, 31, mother of two small children, was found dead of a gunshot wound in a street in front of her home Saturday night. A 40-year-old man who admitted he was Mrs. Parmer’s companion at the time of the shooting, told authorities she shot herself as he dozed in the seat of an automobile beside her. The man was questioned and released.

Await Hatching Os 2nd Whooping Crane First Os Two Eggs Is Hatched Sunday WASHINGTON (UP) - The White House said today President and Mrs. Eisenhower would be “delighted" if Queen Elizabeth II visits the United States. • But it said the U.S. government has no' definite word from thw British about a royal visit. Press Secretary James C. Hagerty made the comment when asked about a report that a visit by the Queen this year or next is under consideration, but that no final decision. has been reached. Hagerty said this was correct. “The President and Mrs. Eisenhower would be delighted, as would every American, to have her majesty in this country at anu time,” he said. “We as a government have not received any definitive word from the British government.” - U.S. officials said earlier that a 1 decision on whether the Queen and ’ Prince Phillip wfll visit this counj try will be announced soon. !

Connell Lists Charges Beck insisted that he was api pearing “as a vice president of the AFL-CIO and a member of the Executive Council.” “I view the purported suspension as a nullity,” he declared. As Beck’s trial began, the council issued a 50-page statement of the specific charges against him. In general, they accused Beck of violating tire principle of the AFL-CIO constitution to protect the labor movement “from any and all corrupt influences.” They charged that he has engaged in “activities and conduct detrimental and Injurious to the best interests of the federation and its affiliated unions” and contrary to the pedicles and constitution of the'AFL-CIO. Only Two Members Absent Furthermore, the statement said, Beck was “guilty of malfeasance and maladministration.” All but two of the Executive Council's 28 members were present. If Beck is found guilty, the council would continue his suspension and could recommend his removal as ah AFL-CIO officer at the federation’s convention in December.

Halt Enlistments Until July First Freeze Enlistment In Army Reserves Enlistments in the local army reserve, and in the army and marine corps, are reported frozen until July 1, according to a telephone call received locally. No official notification has been received*to ■* clarffjpilbe situation, but enlistments are not taken in Fort Wayne or locally until written word has been received. Young men wishing to enlist in the local reserve unit may still do so, but it will not be effective until July 1. They are urged to attend a meeting at the reserve center, north of Decatur on the Monmouth road, any Tuesday night. They may leave their names, and will be contacted when enlistments open again. No official word has been received, but it is thought that the move is necessary because enlistees have exceeded the present budget allowance. Training centers throughout the country are reported full. *■ ' . 13 PERSONS (Caatfed Page Oae) Anthony Korte, 56, Memphis, Ind., was killed Saturday, thrown from his car into flood swollen Silver Creek when the car left a road near Charlestown.

To Seek Injunction Against Withholding Oppose Withholding Gross Income Taxes WASHINGTON, Ind. (W — Dr. A. G. Blazey, state chairman of the Constitution Party, said today .attorneys for the organization will file an injunction suit to prevent , Indiana from withholding state gross income taxes 1 beginning July 1. Blazey, a Washington physician, said a suit is being prepared for , filing by an Indianapolis attori ney “at an early z date.” Blazey said the organization decided on the action at a recent meeting of its central committee i in Indianapolis. The gfoup be- ■ lieves withholding is a violation . of the Bill of Rights with regard i to “freedom from involuntary servitude.” It was illegal, he said, for the s 1957 Legislature to “pass any law . that forces employers to act as . tax collectors without their voluni tary acceptance of the job and . without adequate payment” .Withholding is scheduled to begin on a date coinciding with the start of a new fiscal year. An injunction would delay deductions and might put a damper on the • hopes of Governor Handley’s ad--1 ministration to start collecting ' taxes on a pay-as-you-go basis at a new rate 50 percent higher 1 than the existing one.
