(UPD—Six-teen-year-old John George Trittinger entered a surprise plea of guilty to voluntary manslaughter charges today in the gun death of his mother, as attorneys struggled into the third week of efforts to select a jury for his first-degree murder trial. Trittinger went on trial March 14, charged with premeditated malice in the slaying of Mrs. Velena A. Trittinger, 40, on Oct. 20, 1960. More than 125 prospective jurors were examined since the trial opened, but a jury had not been seated when the youth changed his plea. The state has rejected prospective jurors for opposition to capital punishment. Judge Joseph W. Nyikos set April 4 for sentencing and ordered a pre-sentence investigation. The plea change followed a closed conference between Nyikos, Chief Deputy Prosecutor William Plodowski and defense attorney Harry Taylor. Taylor later asked the judge to withhold sentence and place the youth on probation until he reaches the age of 21. New Guard Armory Dedicated By Welsh SCOTTSBURG, Ind. (UPD—The role of the citizen soldier has become more important despite the advent of nuclear and atomic warfare, Governor Welsh said today at the dedication of a new National Guard Armory. “Although America’s missile and atomic capacity still have top priority ,as our major deterrent, our ability to resist Communist aggression anywhere in the world through conventional means is being increased at a rapid rate,” Welsh said. '‘This is a result of a clear recognition that our response to the Red challenge in any part of the work! must be in the same otder as the challenge itself. We cannot and would not use missiles and atomic warheads to battle guerrilla fighters in South Vietnam or Korea.” Welsh said that “because American policy now calls for this broad spectrum of defense ability, the role of the citizen soldier has been made significantly more important.” “He is in fact the key to our ability, an ability now recognized by the Soviet Hoc, to mobilize rapidly in the event of a major crisis,” Welsh said. Revival Services Conclude Sunday Revival services will continue nightly through Sunday at the Nuttman Ave. U. B. church. Another large crowd attended Tuesday's service, including groups from other churches. The Rev. Chester Wilson, former pastor of the Antioch United Missionary church, led the singing and special music was given by his family. The Rev. Luke Martin, of Kokomo, is the evangelist, and Rev. Wilson will return for several of the meetings. Thursday will be men’s night, Friday will be Sunschool nighs, Saturday will feature a youth rally, and special mulic from the Kokomo church will feature the closing service Sunday night. DEFEAT (Continued from Page One) would not approve it. Rep. L ester R. Johnson, DWis., a member of the House committee, said he believed that compromise of feted the only chance of winning over the opposition in that group. “If I couldn’t get $3.40, I’d take the next best thing,’’ he said. “I’m to favor of doing anything to keep the dairy farmer’s income up, and if the Senate should send over a $3.40 resolution I don’t think the opposition would accept it.” Rep. Charles B. Hoeven, lowa, ranking Republican on the House committee, declined to speculate what the reaction might be to a lesser figure. "If and when a compromise is reached, we'd have to take a look at it,” he said. Other midwestern Republican committee members, and the GOP Wisconsin delegation, generally insisted Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman could keep the supports at their present level without congressional action. Trade In I good town — Decatur
