Slate School Report Is Given By Jury Governor's Office • Studying Report INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Governor Handley late Wednesday told newsmen his office is investigating a Jennings County grand jury report that some workers at the Muscatatuck State School for retarded children are “sympathetic to Communism.” Handley held a news conference at the Statehouse shortly after he received an “interim” report on Muscatatuck compiled by Mental Health Commissioner Stewart Ginsberg ahd Vernon Anderson, his administrative assistant. The report took issue with some of the findings made by the grand jury. But Handley said all card-carry-ing Communists found at the school would be fired At the same time, he said his office would not "send down questionnaires apd . test their philosophy.” r . , , Handley said He "will ndt harbor card-carrying Communists in any state institution.” Handley had asked Anderson and Ginsberg to check into conditions at the school after twq top officials were indicted on morals charges and Supt. Alfred Sasser Jr. resigned. “There is no significant evidence of moral disintegration either amopg the employes of ? patients,” the report said. The report said if the two officials are found guilty on the morals charges, “there is no place for them in state service.” The report also took issue with the grand jury on the number of pregnancies at the school. Only five cases of pregnancies were reported in the last three

years and the report said such a number "is not excessive.” The report went on to charge there was "mismanagement, neglect, failure to cooperate and other defects" during Sasser’s administration. Handley defended Sasser’s treatment of patients and termed it a “good job,” but he said Sasser "evidently did a poor job in public relations and other management.” The repoyt said the state should attempt to develop more Indiana personnel to work at the school rather than hire persons from out of state. “Much can and will be done m on-the-job training." the report said. “A personnel officer will be employed at the school at once.” Handley told the newsmen affairs at Muscatatuck will be taken out of the headlines "pretty shortly.” He said the report “settles Muscatatuck as far as I’m concerned.” Six-Year-Old Girl Raped, Murdered Girl's Body Found Detroit SmJ>wJ> DETROIT OPt — The ravaged body of 6-year-old Mary de Caus-. sin was found in a field today near her home in suburban Ecorse. , Ecorse Township police said the girl's hands were tied behind her back and she had been beaten and raped.

Their fellow agents, Charles Adams, Peter Le Vec and James Seeney opened fire and managed to get Ripa and Love to a waiting car.

GOV. HANDLEY (Cpntl»ue«l fr»i Page O»e) Wyatt Accompanies McConnell But Handley admitted that “many areas have not tried to help themselves.” "You can watch a dollar a lot better at home,” he said. McConnell spent several days in the Midwest states studying the influence of rapid industrialization upon overcrowding in the public schools. He was accompanied on his tour of Indiana by Robert Wyatt, executive secretary of the Indiana State Teachers Assn. Wyatt said he and McConnell stopped in industrial areas around Madison, Indianapolis, Bloomington, Lawrenceburg, Aurora and Hamilton. Wyatt said several dozen pictures were made of all kinds of schools. But Wyatt disclaimed any knowledge of what McConnell planned to do with the pictures. He said any conclusions the Congressman reached were his own. Wyatt said the evidence was “overwhelming" to the effect that overcrowding in such areas in poorly equipped classrooms was providing very poor education in the areas studied.

ley defended the restoration of money cut off by the Legislature. He said the restored money went "primarily” ,to state universities and colleges and "everyone” knew much of the money was to be returned. He said an article in an Indianapolis newspaper “misrepresented” the financial situation and the “true facts should have been told.” Handley said the Legislative “freeze” on spending had actually saved $1,032,239 and "-that isn't peanuts.” Handley also tojd newsmen that he is not ready at this time to call in the FBI in the state highway scandal. But he said the federal agency "will probably be called” in as a result of the findings made at a Congressional hearing in Washington earlier this week.

Definite Planning Aid To Farmers In Raising Products It’s important to have a good farm, but even more important to be a good farmer, Donald A. Norquest, county farmers home administration supervisor, has announced. Norquest serves Adams, Allen. Jay and Wells,counties. He made the remark while discussing the progress of local farm families who are paying off the 45 farm operating loans his agency now has on its books. Making definite plans for crop rotation, improved pastures, fertilizing the soil properly, for higher grade livestock or for planting and preserving an adequate family supply of vegetables, fruits and berries is a definite aid to good farming, according to the FHA supervisor. Helping family type farm operators do profitable farming is the agency’s purpose in making operating loans. Its loans and services supplement, but do not compete with, those of private or cooperative lenders. Necessary planning help and aid in working out farm management problems are parts of each loan transaction, Norquest said.
