Capital Os Florida Awaits Rape Trial TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (UPDThis deep southern capital of Florida is awaiting with mute unhappiness the opening of a trial Wednesday that will focus world attention on a rape involving? four white youths and a 19-year-old Negro college coed. The penalty for rape in Florida .is the electric chair unless the j jury recommends mercy. A white man has never been' executed here for rape of a Negro* although there have been a number of electrocutions of Negro men for assault of white women. Circuit Judge May Walker said today the trial would be handled exactly as any other such case and that he thought it might produce considerable good insofar as it demonstrates the fairness of southern justice. Community Revolted The community reaction has been one of revulsion and disgus| mixed with the knowledge the trial will get particular attention by contrast to the recent lynching of a Negro man in Poplarville, Miss., accused of rape. A total of 256 prospective jurors. all men, were called for the trial, indicating the expectation it may be a difficult job to get a jury. The Negro girl, an average student at the 3.000-strong all-Negro Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, will take the witness stand to describe the events of the early morning of May 2 when she was dragged from a car where she was parked with a Negro college student and another

Hoosier Colleges Hold Graduation United Press International Hoosier college graduates were urged Monday to participate in civic, educational, political affairs and the church to set an example for generations to come. About 4,900 seniors received diplomas and degrees at Indiana, Butler, Evansville and Hanover “In accepting the opportunities of family life,” Judge Johns S. Hastings told 4,152 IU graduates, “we meet our responsibility. In serving our community, we face up to our duty as citizens." judge Os the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago, steps down July 1 as LU. trustee after serving 23 years. He received a surprise from the university—an honorary doctor of laws degree — one of three awarded. Charles P. Taft, son of the late President William Howard Taft and brother of the late senator, urged nearly 350 Butler seniors to take an active part in politics. “Politics in all groups needs you,” said Taft, "with convictions and persistence, with discussion and experimentation and a basic liking for people.” Butler conferred honorary degrees on missile scientist Samuel Ruben and Osward Ryan, an attorney and aviation leader. After four’-years ~wf college, Dr. Manning M-.

Soviet Union, East Germany,. Launch Talks MOSCOW (UPD — The Soviet Union and East Germany begin formal talks today without waiting for the Geneva foreign ministers conference w produce results. Western observers predicted they would come up with an alternative Berlin plan to be used if the Geneva conference failed. t The conference was expected to produce the outlines of a SovietEast German peace treaty, and perhaps the final treaty itself. East German Premier Otto Grotewohl and Communist Party Chairman Walter Ulbricht arrived here Monday at the head of a 16member delegation for talks with Soviet Premier. Nikita S. Khrushchev. The makeup Os the group indicated that economic aqd defense j matters would occupy much of their time. But it was equally clear that the top subject would be the Geneva conference and future Corm | munist policy on Germany and Berlin. The Soviet press did not carry extensive comment on the visit but jt did continue its campaign of blaming West Germany for the lack of progress at Geneva. Izvestia, the government newspaper, said West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s decision ito remain in his post instead of running for president “is a convulsive attempt to put a brake on the Geneva negosiations and prevent a summit meeting.” It echoed a statement b y Khrushchev at a dinner for the East Germans Monday night that Communist Germany was ,"gaining ever-growing authority.” Over 2,500 Daily Democrats an sold and delivered in iJecatur eaeb day.

No Impounding For Civil Penalties INDIANAPOLIS XUPD — Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers today ruled that Indiana State Police may not impound vehicles to enforce collection of civil penalties assessed for overweight loads. Steers, in an opinion requested by State Police Supt. Harold S. Zeis, ruled that the "apprehending officer may not keep a vehicle impounded after all fines and costs have been paid, despite the fact that the civil penalties are unpaid. The exclusive remedy to enforce judgement rendered so far as it concerns the civil penalty is the civil action brought by the prosecuting attorney.*’ Under Indiana law, the operator or owner of an overweight vehicle may be found guilty of a misdemeaner and fined $5 and costs. In addition, civil penalties are set up imposing further charges for eath overweight pound. These penalties range from 2 cents a pound for each pound over 1,000 of access weight to 10 cents a pound for weights above 5,000 pounds. Steers held that the words "fines, penalties and costs” have different meanings. A fine, he said, is “a pecuniary penalty imposed on conviction for a misdemeanor or a crime.” A penalty "is not necessarily a fine,” the attorney general held. "Costs” he defined as “allowances authorized by statute to reimburse the successful party for expenses incurred in prosecuting or defending an action or special proceedings.” Steers ruled that civil penalties are neither fines nor costs and therefore once these are paid the offending vehicle no longer may be impounded until the overweight penalties are collected.

The painting will be placed in the waiting room of the remodeled hospital. The painting, done mostly in various shades of blue, is entitled “The Whispering Storm.” Junior Conservation Club Has Meeting The Monmouth junior conserva-' tion dug held its first June meet-] ing Saturday evening, at the school Harold Nash, of the Idmberlost Archery club, spoke to the club on the subject of archery.

Snead, Palmer CoFavorites In U.S. Open MAMARONECK, N.Y. <UPD — Defending champion Tommy Bolt today laughed at the odds that made Sammy Snead and Arnold , Palmer co-favorites to win the U.S. Open championship starting Thursday and warned “don't sell old Tommy too short.” Temperamental Tommy, who insists he has "gotten into the habit of positive thinking,” didn’t feel too badly because he was listed at 20 to 1. "Why there aren’t more than 20 guys who can win this tournament and they all ought to be 20 to 1," he reasoned. “I’m not picking myself, but I’m playing well. Don’t sell old Tommy <he’s now 40 > too short. I’ve got into the habit of positive thinking.” ■ Optimistic and quieter than usual. Bolt snickered when advised that Snead and Palmer were joint favorites at 6 to 1. Snead, as usual the sentimental favorite, turned in a two under par 36-32—68 practice round Monday—the fourth successive sub-par round he has shot here. Ben Hogan, shooting for his fifth Open title and grouped with Mike Souchak and Gene Littler at 12-1; carded a 36-34 par 70 MonJday, but complained that his back j "still bothers me now and then.” t He is not only one in the field of 150 who will tee off Thursday 'with an ailment. Masters champion Art Wall had a bad ankle. He said his ankle was swollen but that he would not have come here, "if I didn’t expect to play,” Palmer, who withdrew from the Eastern Open on Sunday because of a bad back, said he would show up for the practice rounds today. Others who were hurting included Jackie Burke with a pulled tendon in his left wrist: former Open champion Julius Boros who complained of “back spasms,” and Clarence Doser with a bad elbow. But all were expected to be ready Thursday. J Major Leasue Leaders United Press International National League Player A Club G. AB R. H. Pct. Aaron.
