Cases Os Influenza Described As Mild INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — An Indiana State Board of Health spokesman said today that current influepza cases have been described as “mild” and victims recover in 3 or 4 days. Dr. Albert L. Marshall, head of the division of cbm municable diseases, said investigation indicated the cases are of Type “B”, which usually hits school children and youths. Last week, 268 cases of flu were reported to the state as compared with 201 the preceding week. The 1962 total of 649 compared with 418 this time last year. Marshall said no outbreaks had been reported to his office. However. nublished renorts told of the Randall School in Pipe Creek Twp., Miami County, near Peru, bento closed Wednesday for the remainder of the week because of a high rate of absenteeism blamed on flu and sore throats. The school serves children of Bunker Hill Air Force Base personnel. Marshall advised persons in close contact with the public to immunize against influenza, such as operators of trains and planes and employes of hospitals. Four Plead Guilty Io Embezzlement HAMMOND, Ind. (VPI)-A presentence investigation was under way today in the case of four members of a Hammond family who pleaded guilty to embezzling the funds of a Whiting savings and loan association. Judge Robert A. Grant ordered the investigation Wednesday after the four pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court here at their arraignment on charges in connection with the $1 million shortage in the funds of the Liberty Savings and Loan Association. The guilty pleas were entered by Josenh Chilla, 53, his brother, Benedict, 45, and their sisters, Mrs. Clara Greskovich and Mrs. Helen Yancich. Grant did not set a date for sentencing.’ Joseph Chilla formerly was chairman of the board of the association which his father founded while his brother was the secre-tary-treasurer and their sisters were employed as tellers. The FBI, which arrested the brothers Dec. 1, said the scheme was carried out for 22 years through manipulation of a secret savings account ledger. The sisters were not arrested until after a federal grand jury indicted all four earlier this month. Girl Scouts Girl Scout troop 118 held their meeting January 18.

Kennedy Flies To Visit With Father WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Kennedy planned to fly to Palm Beach, Fla., today to see how much recovery his father has made from a stroke suffered i five weeks ago. The Chief Executive scheduled a 4:14 p.m., EST takeoff from nearby Andrews Air Force Base aboard his Air Force jet transport for the two-hour flight to Florida. Mrs. Kennedy and their two children were to accompany he President. Plan Amendment To State J.P. Laws INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—A legislative study committee agreed late Wednesday to back a proposed constitutional amendment that would permit future limitations on Indiana justices of the peace. The justices now have constitutional authorization for existence. The proposed measure approved by the Criminal Code Study Committee would switch authorization to a statutory category. Efforts to establish qualifications for justices in the past have been ruled unconstitutional because provisions are set out in the Constituticn. Spokesmen stressed that the plan was not an effort to abolish the system but a move to place the justices on the same level with all other lower courts so that legislative changes could be made without amending the constitution. At present, a proposed constitutional amendment affecting the consecutive terms of sheriffs is in the works, so the committee may run into difficulty in getting its bill before the 1963 Legislature.

Admiral Burke Says Speeches Were Censored WASHINGTON (UPI) — Retired Adm. Arleigh A. Burke testified today that his speeches frequently were censired while he was chief of naval operations to eliminate warnings he intended to make against the dangers of communism. . The officer refused to blame the Kennedy administration for the censorship. He said lower-echelon officials charged with reviewing military speeches were responsible. Testifying at the Senate “muzzling” inquiry, Burke said he had no objection to prior censorship of his speeches and statements to bring them in line with administration policy if necessary. He said there must be machinery to “insure somehow” that statements by top officials—civilian as well as military—do not conflict with official U.S. goals. But he said national policy was mot always clearly defined when he was in uniform. Answering questions by James Kendall, counsel to the preparedness subcommittee, Burke said he didn’t pay much attention to the censorship at first but later swung to the view that it was "a little capricious.”
