day afternoon, not Saturday morning. Dr. Peck was driving along the road which runs from the Piqua road extended to highway 101, mostly along along the St. Mary’s river. The entire road was covered with ice, and he did not realize that he was going out over water. As he approached the curve in the road about a half-mile from Pleasant Mills, the ice suddenly gave way, dropping the car into about two feet of water. He had seen no one be- _ fore the accident occurred who warned him that there was water under the ice. COURT NEWS .' - Estate Cases _ The last will and testament of Lewis W.

Disk Jockey Sleeps After 200 Hours Breaks All Records For Wakefulness NEW YORK (UPD—Disc Jockey Peter Tripp slept "man’s soundest sleep” today, completing a 200-hour sleepless vigil for the sake of science. Tripp, 32, ended his wake-a-thon at 7:14 o'clock Wednesday night. An hour later he fell into a deep sleep at the Astor Hotel after physicians assured him he had broken all records for scientifically controlled wakefulness. “Now he’s sleeping man’s soundest sleep," said Dr.,Louis J. West, who heads the team of scientists watching Tripp. “He has done something no* man has done before, and it’s fantastic." The scientists here did not recognize the wake-a-thon of disc jockey Dave Hunter of Jacksonville,' Fla. Hunter began his vigil two hours before Tripp and has vowed to stay awake for 225 hours, but his experiment has not ibeen scientifically controlled or documented. Another Gives Up A third disc jockey. Red Evans, of Tallahassee. Fla., tried to stay awake 200 hours but gave up at 190 hours and 43 minutes on advice of his doctor. He had developed a headache. West said he would* awaken Tripp at 11 a.m. e.s.t, his usual rising time, for some psychiatric observations and medical tests after 15 hours of sleep. But he Said he expected Tripp to go back to sleep for 8 or 10 hours. Even while he was sleeping, Tripp was working for science. He dropped off too quickly Wednesday night for arrangements for a recording of his brain waves to be completed. But his pulse, body temperature and other physical activities were being measured. West said he did not believe the long vigil had caused Tripp any harm which sleep could npt erase. He said the experiment had proved that "there is a measurable disorganization of mental functions tantamount to a major personality change when a great deal of sleep is lost.” Belligerent and Submissive "Tripp vacillated between belligerence and submissiveness,” he said. ‘‘There was a progressive i disturbance in his thinking and j feeling, a deteriorating in his peri formance tests that was getting worse and worse. Prolonged loss of sleep is not good for anybody, and I can testify to that.” The scientist likened Tripp’s experiment to some of the pioneering volunteer work done in the fields of yellow fever, polio, and cancer research. Tripp had started off with no stimulation — not even coffee. But since Monday he has been takihg a chemical stimulant in pill form as a part of the scientific tests. He admitted he probably couldn’t have gone on without the pills and the presence of his wife and friends. “I’ve learned one major thing,” Tripp said. “You can’t stay awake alone. You need someone there to keep you awake, to keep telling you ’Up, boy, up’.” t Funeral Rites Held for Charles frank A former resident and prominent auto dealer, Charles Frank, 80, died last week and was buried in< Fort Wayne Monday. Among the survivors are a nephew and niece, Myron Frank and Mrs. Frank Crist of Decatur. ■ 11 r,<sirag| ■ j w w ''' Ik-wr - * KH& ak I '9k I i B O DIFFERS WITH McEUOT-Sen.

Gives Observations On Integration In South

(Editor’s Note: For the past 10 days, Jack V. Fox, roving 'reporter for United Press International, has been travelttn* through Virginia, Alabama and Georgia. Eearlier he was in Little Rock, Ark. In the following dispatch he gives an outsider’s observations on how the South stands today on segregation.) By JACK V. FOX United Press International ATLANTA. Ga. (UPD - You hear on every side in the South today the flat and uncompromising point that this region will never integrate Negroes and whites. And yet on every side, in various ways and in individual instances, the South is in fact integrating. The schools of Norfolk, Virginia’s largest city, and three other communities in the state, apparently are going to admit a small group of Negroes next Monday morning after collapse of the “massive resistance” laws which closed nine schools serving 13,000 students. Atlanta, the South’s great metropolis, has just quietly accepted the desegregation of Negroes on its trolley system. TTiere has not been an incident over it. Thirty four other Southern cities now have integrated buses, including Little Rock, New Orleans, Miami, Nashville, Richmond, Chattanooga and Dallas, Raleigh and Charlotte. On the border states, more than a quarter-million Negro children are now going to public schools with whites. There are 10,000 more in white classes in Texas. North Carolina has taken integration. Alabama, Florida, Georgia. Louisana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia—up to now—are segregated at public school levels and most of those states have authorized the governor to close any school faced with integration. But the wedge has been opened on the college level ip three of them — Louisiana, Virginia and Florida. Sen. Lyndon Johnson’s proposal for sdme sort of “mediation board” on segregation disputes is evidence that the very top Southern democratic leadership fels the. South must take some new positive approach to the problems. Little Rock a Symbol Little Rock has fiecome a symbol of the South’s determination to shut the Schools if it is necessary. But it is noteworthy that half a dozen other Arkansas communities have integration. Integration dominates almost every conversation. TTieye is no question of Southerners not wanting to talk with the outsiders about it. Instead they are movingly eager to get theiir point of view across. There is reason to believe they are making headway in convincing Northerners that this matter of proceeding “at deliberate speed” means integration should be going more slowly than it is. , » The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, probably the foremos t spokesman for the Negro integration force, sees danger in this. “Gradualism in the white South means never,” he says. “Cer-

tainly the process of Negro equality is going to take tirtie.” , "But die Southern whites don t want it to come gradually—why. the Little Rock plan was going to take 10 to 12 years. It was the epitome of gradualism. ’ ’ Talmadge Impact It was interesting to note the impact made in the South by Sen. Herman Taltriadges (D-Ga.) proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It would turn over administration of public schools exclusively to the states and their Editor Ralph Mcgill wrote in the Atlanta Constitution: “It cuta through the hypocrisy that has been one of the features of politics in the deep South. A good 99 per cent of the South s political leadership has all along admitted that the court’s action was constitutionally valid. They have said, privately, ‘We know it is inevitable that the schools close unless some positive action is taken. But publicly they have encouraged the mob, the haters, the minds which think in terms of bombing churches and schools, by the most outragebus vilifications and denials of court authority and law.” Earl Warren Denies Any Rift With Ike Newspaper Story Denied By Both WASHINGTON (UPD — Chief Justice Earl Warren has added his denial to one by President Eisenhower that they are angry at each other. The Chief Justice said a newspaper story that the President's relationship with him had become cold and*distant "merits no’comment. It is wholly without foundation.” The President at his news conference Wednesday said the newspaper account was “irresponsible reporting.” ThenrepdfFatfracfefriinsiderable attention because it was written by Robert J. Donovan, Chief Os the New York Herald Tribune’s Washington staff. Donovan wrote a book about Eisenhower’s first term which was considered a semiofficial account because he had access to minutes of cabinet meetings and talked to the President's official family in its preparation. After the denial by the President and Warren, Donovan issued a statement saying that his story "was based on sources unimpeachable both as to their character and aS to their knowledge of the facts.” The Donovan story said the two men, once hearty and enthusiastic friends, now disapprove of each other’s actions as head of the executive and judicial branches of government.
