Berserk Fori Wayne Youth In Custody No One InjurecHn Series Os Gunshots FORT WAYTfE, Ind. (UPD—A berserk youth drove his parents from their home with a gun Monday night, shot at several neighboring homes and fired on police. No one was injured. Held in Allen County Jail here in lieu of $5,000 bond was Lyle A. Young, 19. who eventually was persuaded to give himself up. Lt. Richard Fleischman of the Fort Wayne police said the youth began shooting at his family “for no apparent reason” and drove them from the house. Young then ran outside and began firing a shotgun at neighboring homea. As officers Robert C. Smith and Dan Scribner arrived at the scene in answer to frantic calls from neighbors. Young ran back into the house and took up a position in an upstairs window, Young took a shot at them. The blast hit the front of the car. Scribner fired at the house to scare Young away from the window. Th officers then radioed for help. Reinforcements arrived. After conferring with neighbors, police blocked off all streets in the area, surrounded the house and ordered Young to come out with his hands in the air. A few minutes later, the youth appeared at the front door with his hands raised and was taken into custody. Authorities said they found two shotguns, a rifle and “plenty of ammunition” beside the upstairs window where Young fired on the patrol car. There was no explanation for the boy’s action. But a neighbor said Young, a slightly built youth, was sensitive about his size and believed “the whole world was against him.” Continued Showers Forecast In State July To Depart On Familiar Wet Note United Press International / The month of marked by one rain after another, was destined to depart on the familiar moist note Thursday* in Indiana. More showers fell Monday rather generally around the state. More were due today, tonight, Wednesday and Thursday. By the time midnight rolls around on the last day of the month, it was likely that some areas would set all-time July . precipitation records. At Evans- • ville, for instance, more than nine j inches of rain this month has j come within less than an inch of ( a 48-year-old record set in 1910. Indianapolis got half an inch in the latest, shower activity. Less . than one-tenth of an inch fell at South Bend, Fort Wayne, Lafay- s ette and the Louisville and Cin- ’ cinnati areas. ’ The rain came as a large seg- 1 ment of Southeastern Indiana 1 rode out a Weather Bureau warning of hail and “damaging winds” s late Monday. No severe storms E were reported, however. Temperatures, meanwhile, re- k ma'ined below normal—but not a much. Highs Monday ranged from 79 e at Lafaytte to 88 at Evansvile, £ although the Louisvile area re- e corded a warm 93. The mercury s dropped to a range of 61 at La- j fayette to 67 at Evansville during v the night. c

Auto Negotiations Are Resumed Today Delay Meeting To Set Strike Deadline DETROIT (UPD — The United Auto Workers Union has postponed for a week an executive board meeting that is expected to set a strike ,deadline for its contract talks with the auto industry. The announcement came as the UAW resumed its talks today with Ford, Chrysler and General Motors after recessing Thursday. The meeting was originally scheduled for Friday but the Union said it was set back to Aug. 8 because a "meeting of the union’s national General Motors, Ford and Chrysler councils had to be delayed. The UAW said it wanted to hold the national councils’ meeting on the day after the executive meet-ing-adding weight to the belief a strike deadline would be set by th executive board and ratified by the national councils. The national councils have the sole power to set strike dates but any “recommendation” by the executive board, the top governing body of the union, is sure to be accepted by the councils. A union spokesman said the executive board would not pick a target company but it would be selected some time close before the strike began so the union could judge from up-to-date information which company would be most susceptible to strike pressures.

Auto Dealerships, Ford Deny Charges Washington Jurors Return Indictments WASHINGTON (UPD — Washington area auto dealerships and Ford Motor Co. indicated by a district grand jury denied charges today of conspiring to fix retail prices for new cars. All of the 17 franchised Ford dealerships and the 14 franchised Chevrolet dealerships in the area were named defendants, as well as 11 franchised Oldsmobile dealerships. No individuals were named in Monday’s indictments. In Detroit, William T. Gossett, vice president and general counsel of Ford Motor C 0.,, labeled “untrue” the federal charges. He said,he assumed the charges Stemmed from a program undertaken by Washington Ford dealers in i 954 for the purpose of identifying bonafide wholesale parts customers. The franchised dealers who would comment said that the only price dealers ever agreed to was a suggested asking price for automobiles. They said the asking price was never the selling price because of trade-in allowances and discounts. The grand jury - indictments, - returned in Federal Court here Monday, accused the dealers of agreeing to ignore price lists suggested by their factories for new cars, prices and accessories. The .indictments said that for the past several years the dealers boosted the suggested prices for new cars by hundreds "of dollars. The Justice Department, which obtained the indictment, said it also was conducting car . price investigations in Detroit, New York, San Francisco and Cleveland.
