Killer Slated For Execution Early Tuesday FORT MADISON, lowa (UPDA wish once expressed but since recanted by condemned slayer Charles Noel Brown may be fulfilled Tuesday on the gallows. “I want to die for what I did,” Brown said after he and a companion were captured and admitted leaving a trail of three dead and three wounded during a six-

day, three-state crime spree. Now, only an 11th hour reprieve from Gov. Norman A. Erbe can save Brown, and time is running out. He is scheduled to hang at 6 a.m. CDT Tuesday inside the walls of the lowa State Penitentiary. Brown, 29, a native of Bedford, Ind., who lived most recently in Minneapolis, Minn., is scheduled to die for one of three murders he and Charles Edwin Kelley, 21, Minneapolis, admitted committing after their capture at Council Bluffs, lowa, Feb. 22, 1961. Three states sought the two on murder charges, lowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. Nebraska also has capital punishment, using the electric chair. Minnesota does not have the death penalty. “I don’t want to spend the rest

of my life in jail,” Brown, a former Indiana convict and itinerant carnival worker, said then. But now Brown, father of six children, hopes for a reprieve. If it fails to come, Brown will become the 35th person to die on the gallows in lowa, and the first in 10 years. Brown, a 6-1, 180-pounder, and Kelley, 6-1 and 170 pounds were tried separately and convicted c* first degree murder for gunning down Internal Revenue Service agent Alvin Emil Koehrsen, 54 Walnut, lowa, after commandeering his car in Council Bluffs. Both received the death penalty. Both appealed to the lowa Supreme Court which upheld the convictions and death sentences. Both filed applications with the governor for commutation of sentence. Kelley's execution date has been deferred indefinitely pending outcome of his rehearing petition. Brown’s mother and sister sent letters to Erbe asking that the death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. The governor said he felt “the current thinking of the people of lowa is that the capital punishment law should be kept on the books.” He said he had “no strong feelings for or against it;” Several organizations have asked the governor to spare the lives of Kelley and Brown. Villa Sangro Will Host Mrs. Kennedy RAVELLO, Italy (UPD —Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy will spend her vacation here next month in a villa more than 700 years older than the White House, The Villa Sangro, where Mrs. Kennedy and her daughter, Caroline, will live for two weeks early in August, affords the same privacy as the White House, with a high wall screening it from the rest of the village. But there Ravello's parallel with Washington ends. The village is perched on a 1,227-foot hill overlooking some of the most beautiful coastline in the world. Instead of broad avenues and heavy traffic, it has winding streets little changed from the Middle Ages and rigidly enforced quiet. Other famous guests have lived in the villa before the First Lady. They include Richard Wagner, who wrote the Third Act of his opera, Parsifal, in a nearby villa in the last century; Italian King Victor Emmanuel 111, who main-

tained contact with the nearby Allied headquarters at Salerno and made his decision to abdicate in 1943; conductor Leopold Stokowski, and Greta Garbo. Built For Bishop The villa was built in 1086 as the residence of Orso Paplce, the first bishop of Ravello. The town was thriving then; by the 13th Century it had 36,000 inhabitants. But then it declined and the church withdrew its bishop. The villa was sold to a succession of owners. The present owners are the family of the duke of Sangro. The regular occupant of the villa is Francesco Parisi, an engineer in Rome. Ravello has more than history to offer vacationers. It sits above the Amalfi Drive, which takes thousands of tourists yearly along the most beautiful stretch of coastline in all Italy. Nearby are the more famous Mediterranean resort towns of Amalfi and Positano. The water is also the easiest approach route for Ravello, and the chances are that Mrs. Kennedy will use it. Alternatively, she may drive the 26 miles south from Naples to Salerno, wartime Allied headquarters, and then take a winding road nine miles back north to Ravello. The road is s o narrow and twisting that the drive normally takes, an hour. Guard Against Noise Ravello’s relative isolation helps keep it quiet, and its police force cracks down quickly on any motorcyclists or other noisemakers who manage to get through. Italians warmly welcomed Mrs. Kennedy on her first brief visit to Italy this year. She stopped over in Rome for 33 hours on her way to India and Pakistan in March and had an audience with Pope John XXIII. The Italian press criticized the excessive zeal of the security men guarding Mrs. Kennedy on her last visit and complaints already have been voiced about the arrangements for her vacation. The magazine, Lo Specchio, said three Secret Service men already have arrived in Ravello. Preble Jolly Juniors The Preble Jolly Juniors of Preble township met June 12 at 7 p.m. at Magley. July Selking was in of the meeting. Wendin Ruble and Becky Conrad led the pledges. Group singing was led by Dianne Macke. Roll call was answered by the members naming their five favorite songs.

St. Joe Jills The Washington township St. Joe Jills met July 19 at 1:30 o’clock at the Memorial park in Decatur. Barbara Schultz was in charge of the meeting. Karen Schirack led the pledge of allegiance and Margaret Schultz led the 4-H pledge. After the meeting the entire club enjoyed a picnic. Eighteen members answered roll call in the usual fashion. They discussed marching in the 4-H parade. This was their final meeting. Reporter: Ruth Schultz. Chicago Man Drowns In Wolf Lake Sunday * HAMMOND, Ind.
