Given Prison Term For Bank Robbery INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Chester E. Parrish. 33, Middletown, was sentenced Friday to a qualified term of 20 years in prison tor holding up a branch ban* at Modoc last March 1 and robbing it of $3,898. Federal Judge William E. Steckler employed a seldom-used statute providing that the Bureau of Prisons may modify the term after study. Despite the fact Parrish is an ex-convict, Steckler apparently left the door open for a possibly shorter term because Parrish used an unloaded gun which would not have fired even If it had been loaded. In other Federal Court action, Chester Menk, 53, Oaktown, was sentenced to two years in prison and fined SI,OOO on charges of dispensing barbiturates, and Harold T. MiHer, Jr., 46, Indianapolis, was sentenced to four years for counterfeiting. ■- Menk had pleaded guilty. His brother Elmer, 54, pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.. Miller, former head of the Butler University print shop, pleaded guilty to a charge that he counterfeited $17,245 jn currency. He said he did it just as an experiment and bad no intention of passing the money. None of it was pa—nd

New Drive In Latin America . )TTr»T\ TT CT ...

WASHINGTON (UPD-U.S. diplomatic officials and congressmen today viewed Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev’s announced plan to visit Cuba as the opening move in a new. drive to spread Communist influence in Latin America. . A further indication of increased Communist interest in this hemisphere was the report from informed sources in Havana that Red Chinese Premier Chou En-Jai had “agreed in principle” to visit Cuba this year. Some State Department sources felt Khrushchev was angling for invitations to more important Latin American countries and might not go through with the Cuban visit unless he got them. They pointed out that no date was set for the trip to Cuba. /The opinion of most congressmen who, made statements on the visit was summed up by Sen. George D Aiken (R-Vt.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and an expert on Latin America. Aiken said the visit, announced by the Soviet Tass News Agency Friday, was a “clear attempt” by Khrushchev to gain a foothold for. Soviet influence in the Americas, on the United States’ doorstep. The lawmaker said Khrushchev also would try to “further identify” Cuban Prime Fi-

Replace Floor At Decatur High Gym . Bids on two types of gym floors for the Decatur high school gym wiM be taken at 8 p. m. June 24 at Decatur high school, the Decatur school board announced today. The 20-year-old gym floor, which has no sub-floor and has developed dead spots and waves during the past two decades, will be replaced. The architect’s specifications call for -bids on two types: a new floor over the present floor, in which the present floor would act as a sub-floor; and removal of the present floor to the cement base, an installation of cushion mastic over the cement, which would then be covered by short lengths of two pieces of wood banded together so that each would contain its own sub-floor. This is the type ot construction used in the Adams Central gym. Bradley & Bradley are the architects for the scifW’l project. The cost is estimated to be approximately $5,000.

del Castro with communism Latin American diplomats took the view that Khrushchev had been seeking such an invitation ever since the summit collapse. They said they weren’t surprised by his quick acceptance and predicted an attempt to undermine U.S. influence in the hemisphere. Several congressmen doubted that a Cuban visit would lead to ?n outright alliance between Russia and Cuba.

Denies Pressure By Drug Industry WASHINGTON (UPD —The heed of the Food and Drug Administration conceded today that some medicines approved by his agency might have harmed or killed a few patients. But he said they were cleared because of the many persons they benefitted. FDA Administrator George P. Larrick made the statement to United Press International after Welfare Secretary Arthur S. Flemming ordered a special investigation of charges that the agency had failed to protect the public in approving new drugs. Larrick denied a former FDA official’s charge that the agency often gave in to pressure from the drug industrw whpn approving the safety and labeling 8t new medicines. But Larrick said he expected the investigation to result in tougher standards for FDA - approved drugs. Flemming announced the investigation Friday. He said he acted as a direct result of the charges by the former FDA official, Dr. Barbara Moulton. She said “hundreds suffer daily and many die” because the agency fails to police new drugs adequately. Larrick said that in deciding whether to allow a manufacturer to place a new drug on the market the FDA weighed the drug’s possible harmful effects against its benefits. Conceding that some FDA-ap-proved drugs may have hurt or killed a few persons, Larrick said “penicillin kills people occasionally bat it helps millions and millions.”

Intensify Mediation Talks On Railroads CHICAGO (UPD—Government mediators opened throttle today on efforts to bring the nation’s railroads into wage agreements with the firemen’s, conductors’ and trainmen’s unions. Robert O. Boyd, chairman of the National. .(railway) Mediation Board, said the NMB would intensify mediation talks now that government arbitrators returned an award granting more than 30,000 engineers a 4 per cent, twostep pay boost. Mediation efforts between the carriers and three operating unions—the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen —marked time for more than two months while the engineers’ case moved through arbitration. Both Boyd and Archibald Cox, Harvard University law professor who headed the six-man arbitration board, declined to speculate as to the possible pattern effect of the engineers' award on the negotiations covering more than 300,000 firemen, trainmen and conductors. In the past, however, the settlement reached in one railroad wage case frequently forms the basis for settlements in others-

Nikita Writes Off Ike Talks

MOSCOW (UPD-The disarmament plan Premier Nikita Khrushchev’wanted to emphasize at his press conference Friday ’may be lost in the wave of Western reaction to his bla»st at President Eisenhower, observers here said today. The Soviet press gave prominent play today to “favorable foreign reactions” to Khrushchev s disarmament proposals, making no mention of his attack on the President. Observers here had little doubt, however, that it was Khrushchev s remarks about Eisenhower that would get the headlines abroad. The. premier appeared in effect to have written off negotiations with the Eisenhower administration completely, although he maintained he wanted to continue cultural contacts and said he was always ready to discuss the idea of a new summit meeting. Moscow observers said Khrushchev's remarks appeared to represent a ‘‘hardening of the Soviet

Commencement Exercises Held Last Evening “Theae arc the two greatest momenta In a student’s life.” said the Very Rev. Msgr. Arthur McDonald at the commencement exercises of Decatur Catholic high school in the school auditorium Friday night. The two greatest moments were the conclusion of compulsory formal education, and it would be for most p»"ople the first time they had to be on their own. He explained that everyone of the graduates has the equipment to improve his mind In seeking for the truth, and strengthening the will and acquisition of good. He also pointed out that the Catholic education which these people have received over the past 12 years will help them to be a success in not only this world but in the other world to come. Msgr. McDonald then gave what he thought would be the three situations the graduates would have to meet in the world. The first would be conquest, such as the science conquests that we as a nation are making today. The second would be confusion, as our world is made up of conflicting ideas, "UaKly,” he told the graduates, “they would meet the problem of fear, fear of economic collapse and even fear of total destruction of man." He then stated that with the Christian education these young people have received, they should be able to meet these problems and know how to handle them. The monsignor then explained his three answers to the situations. He told the graduates that “no matter what-we-try to conquer in this world we must try to conquer ourselves first. The first thing a person should gain is self-conquest. The purpose of these graduates being on earth was to know, love, and serve God and if this is done right, a person may gain eternal happiness, thus this is the answer to confusion." He then stated that the only thing man should really have to fear in this world is the loss of his soul. He should be deeply concerned about the loss of God’s friendship and this is the one thing a person need fear. Scholastic awards were given to Gerald Gillig and Patricia Kintz for the highest scholastic average over the four high school years. The Archbishop Noll scholarship committee which awards three scholarships to students in diocese of Fort Wayne and Gary picked two Decatur Catholic boys 'for this year, Gerald Gillig and James Heimann. Severin Schurger Jr., received the K. of C. scholarship. Marian College also awarded a scholarship- to Miss Patricia Ruble.

In the eighth grade, the Roly Name society awarded a high school scholarship to Fred Schurger, and the K. of C. auxiliary awarded a scholarship to Miss Patricia Powell, daughter of Mr. tjnd Mrs. Vivian Powell. The Right Rev. Msgr. Simeon Schmitt distributed the diplomas to the graduates and the class sang. “No Man Is An Island. A violin-clarinet ensemble. “On This Day, O Beautiful Mother,” was presented and immediately following the graduating class sang “Ave Maria” and gave the consecration to Mary. Summer School To Open Here Monday The summer school of the Decatur high school will open Monday morning at 7:30 o’colck. Hugh J.
