Students Strike In Protest Refusal To Include Gym Is Protested WASHINGTON, Ind. (UP)— Parents of striking students of Barr Twp. school voted Tuesday night to circulate a petition asking the State Tax Board to modify a ruling and permit them to add a gymnasium to their new school. Their children have been attending classes in the Washington National Guard Armory since fire a year ago destroyed their old school building at Montgomery, six miles from here. Townspeople learned that the tax board unofficially failed to approve a plan to construct a $475,j 000 building on grounds that a 1957 law prohibits the use of state funds for school gymnasium construction. When word of the ruling reached here Tuesday, it set off a demonstration by students. They abandoned classes and marched down the town’s main street with banners saying “We want our own school" and “What’s happened to education.? The petition asks the board to permit Barr Twp. to use the $160,000 -of insurance money “to construct any part of the building deemed necessary.” There was no mention of the proposed 4,800-seat gym, but it was understood that the money would be used for that purpose if approved by the board. - Plans for the school include the gym, 13 classrooms and rooms for band practice, home economics and agriculture courses and a cafeteria. The plans are laid out so that the classrooms would encircle the gym. Townspeople a tten ding the meeting signed the petition and said it would be circulated in the township and then forwarded to the tax board.

Out Os Controversy Appeal From Court Decision On Bishop i —■ ROME (UP)—The government today kept discreetly out of the controversy seething over convic- . tion of Roman Catholic Bishop I Pietro Fiordelli in a state court. The Christian Democrat (Cathi olic) government, facing critical general electons, was caught in an embarrassing squeeze by the worst church-state rupture in aL 1 most 30 years. Premier Adone Zoli’s office issued a statement Monday night ’ which pointed up the govern- ’ ment’s predicament. ’ “As a Catholic, Signor Zoli is certainly saddened (by the bish- • op’s conviction),” a spokesman • said, “but as premier he can only • think that justice must follow its ■ course."' > Attorneys for Bishop Fiordelli ■ appealed Tuesday from the Florence Magistrates Court decision > which found the bishop guilty of i slander. ,He was given a suspend- - ed fine of $64 last Saturday for publicly denouncing a Catholic- - born couple as “concubines and - public sinners” for being mar- - ried only in a civil ceremony out- - side the church. Roman Catholics throughout the ; world rallied to the support of » the bishop, who refused to att tend the trial on grounds he was 5 not answerable to the state but only to the Pope. The Communists, waging an i an anti-church battle in preparation for the political elections, hailed the conviction as a defeat for church interference in state affairs-Neo-Fascists also jumped into the controversy, charging—that Communists and Christian Democrats had shattered the church--1 state peace brought about by Be--1 nito Mussolini when he signed the La ter an Pact with the Vatican (in 1929.

Probe Charge School Bus Not Examined Search Continues For Eight Bodies PRESTONSBURG, Ky. (UP) — State officials today investigated charges that “something was wrong" with the school bus which plunged into the Big Sandy River last Friday, killing 27 persons.

It was on its way back to the school when the accident happened.
