their way inside a dope ring operating here and set the stage for the arrest of seven men in the biggest narcotics raid in South Bend's history. Police said they had struck a major blow at the narcotics trade in this area, estimated at SIOO,OOO a year gross. The arrests began Wednesday night and continued into early Thursday morning, with local po> lice participating. Six of the men were known pushers of marijuana. Th? <,ev- , enth was selling heroin, authorii ties said. , A special police force of 26 i men, headed by Lt. Melvin Pasa- [ lich of the vice squad and fouri federal agents, made the arrests, ' at least two of them on South i Bend street corners. 1 The federal agents had worked ' their way inside the ring during i the past three months. They pur- [ chased narcotics from pushers i after receiving tips from anony- ' mous informers. i “The undercover agents we used ' in this raid will be no good to us [ now,’’ Pasalich said. “But we will get more agents from the Federal Narcotics Agency in Chicago.’’ Police said that one of the pushers revealed under the questioning the name of a major supplier in Chicago. They indicated that further iarrests may be made. Arrested were William Ingram, 33, Robert Pickins, 27, Herman Walker, 28, Henry Joyce, 51, Samuel Harvey, 33, Henry Hill, 27 and Cecil Wiley, 38. They were held on SIO,OOO bond each. Ingram was charged with the sale of heroin. Perkins and Hill were arrested on a street comer. Police found a bag and an envelope containing marijuana in Harvey’s home, they said. Pasalich said the marijuana was taken from fields near here and cured. The heroin, he said, was obtained from Chicago. It was the second major narcotics raid in Indiana this week. Last Tuesday Fort Wayne police and narcotics agents smashed a SIOO,OOO a year dope ring operating in that area. Pasalich said he first began receiving telephone calls about the operation in South Bend six months ago. He said many of the calls were from parents who feared their teenage children were either taking, or being exposed to the sale of, narcotics. He said he believed that other crimes in the South Bend area would now decrease as a result of the raid. Pasalich was referring to shoplifting, thefts and burglaries, committed in some cases by persons who need money tp purchase narcotics. Police said the pushers were selling enough, marijuana for two or three cigarettes for $5. They said a small capsule of heroin cost $3. Four-Year-Old Boy Saved By Father CEDAR LAKE, Ind. (UPD—Billy Tolley, 4, owed his life today to his father, John, 23, who dived into a water-filled ditch to pull him out unconscious, and his uncle, Frank, 18, who gave artificial respiration. The two saw the lad floating in the water near his home as they returned from a hunting trip.

4 THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Preble Fire Dept. Names New Officers Reinhard Selking was elected president of the Preble volunteer fire department at the monthly, meeting of the department, held this week at the fire station. Other officers are: Irvin\Worthman, vice president; Gekhard Werling,- secretary; Eugene Somers, treasurer; Harold Hofflnan, fire chief; Eddie Ewell, assistnit chief; Donald Jeffry, trustee. This fire department was organized in 1951 by people residing within fiye miles of Preble. It has served the area for 11 years and has been maintained by its members through various fund, raising projects. Recently, some of the township trustees have helped to maintain the equipment by signing contracts with the department. “Buying and maintaining fire fighting equipment is costly, and this js especially true when a small grouo of people carries the burden for an entire taxing unit,” an officer stated. The department expressed its thanks to all who have aided in the past in keeping the department operating efficiently. Historic Rule Laid Down By Israel Court JERUSALEM, Israel (UPD — The supreme court ruled today in a historic decision that just because a person is born a Jew he is not entitled to Israeli citizenship simply because of that fact. i The 4-to-l decision was handed i down by the high court in the I case of Roman Catholic Carmelite Friar Father Daniel. The 40-year-old priest was born Oswald Buffeisen of orthodox Jewish parents in Poland. During World War 11, he was given refuge by Catholic nuns in a convent and later was converted to Catholicism. He came to Israel and since 1959 has been trying to obtain Israeli citizenship on grounds he was born a Jew, even though he now is a Catholic. The government opposed granting him citizenship c>n this ground, although he is entitled to naturalized Jewish citizenship in line with the socalled 1950 “law of return.” This law says any Jew can emigrate to Israel if he is* not a criminal and claim citizenship. The decision, in effect, means that a Jew cannot convert to Christianity and then enter this country and automatically claim citizenship. But he can become a naturalized citizen. It is certain to cause wide repercussions among Jews throughout the world, and present grave problems to Prime Minister David] Ben - Gurion’s government which is made up of representatives of the extremes of Jewish thought. There has been disagreement between Zionists who want to develop Israel as a natural homeland for all Jews and the antiZionists who insist that Israel is merely a political .state.

Police And Courts Project For Club

By a Club Member The spotlight of the Mary’s Catholic Civics club for November was focused on police and courts to show how these sections of the 10, , cal government protect the indivi- ; dual’s rights. Many and varied 1 were the experiences enjoyed by • the club in this study. Nov. 5. Tom Vian and Leo ■th questions ree force which the other olub ed James Bort his headquarthey secured L'lub to underceman at the I street corner or in a police car ; is a friend of the people. These ; dedicated persons of the local gov- • ernment are there to protect all ' citizens who pass through or are ' residents of Decatur. ; Next on the agenda was an inf™--i mative interview with City Judge . John Stults, who was mayor of Decatur from 1943 to 1948. Until 1960, the mayor was also judge of the mayor’s court. The rapid growth of the city necessitated a change because the double burden was too much for one man .to do efficient work in both capacities. In January, 1961, Gov. Welsh appointed John Stults as city judge to replace Richard Sullivan, the first city judge, when the latter became disqualified because he had moved outside the city limits. The boys learned. that the judge’s cases dealt mainly with disorderly conduct, assault and battery, and various traffic violations. Judge Stults showed the boys his docket book. When the boys asked him what determined his choice of career, he told them ’ that as a business man on the main street, he became involved in many civie affairs. His interest lay in people and the betterment of Decatur to such an extent that when he was asked to run for mayor, he accepted and won the election. Especially interesting were the documents, state warrant, subpoena, and mittimus which Judge Stults gave the boys for the club to study. Red Letter Day Nov. 27 was a red letter, day for six officers of the club. Capt. Tom iMiller, Lt. Leo Miller of the boys’ school safety patrol; Capt. Charlotte Laurent, Lt. Marta Fauraote of the girls’ patrol, and the editorial staff of the club news, Sharon O’Shaughnessey and Barbara Grove, were privileged to witness the swearing-in of the grand jury at the courthouse. After that interesting experience, Judge Myles Parrish gave the group a special interview in the courthouse library. Questions regarding courts, juries, and others pertinent to court

proceedings were asked. One of the group, upon asking the judge what determined his career was given a graphic example of "Where there is a will, there is a way.” Judge Parrish worked his way to an education and the position he has held for many years. Mrs. Herman Miller chaperoned the group. Historical Society Because the Adams county Historical society featured a special emphasis on the Northwest Ordinance at its November meeting, about a dozen cilubbers were in attendance 4o find out the nature of the first territorial government of Indiana. Since the club is studying local government this year, it was deemed imperative that a delegation be present to avail themselves of the opportunity to gain knowledge of government and then relay it to the rest of the club. Mrs. Harold A. Baker and Mrs. James Cochran were chaperones for the group. The special studies were also made in the course of the month. The first was Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address and the new U. S. supreme court. Attention was called to the members whom Pres. Kennedy appointed. Everyone agreed that the November project was both interesting and informative. All, it is hoped, will profit b ythe knowledge and experience gained. Deny Any Russian Flights Over U. $. WASHINGTON (UPD — The administration has stated emphatically that Soviet reconnaissance planes have never flown over the United States. Both" the White House and the Air Force denied a published report that Russian aircraft overflew the southeastern United States during the Cuban crisis. White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said flatly that no such flights have ever taken place.” The report appeared last Saturday in the Scripps-Howard papers. It was attributed to “independent sources.” On Tuesday night in Pittsburgh Salinger said, “this type of journalism is destructive.” Tha press secretary and the Air Force, in the person of its chiefs of staff, Gen. Curtis E. Lemay, continued the denials Wednesday. Nevertheless, Scripps-Howard continued to insist — just as firmly — that the reports were true?

Most Os State Is Coated By Snow Blanket By United Press International Snow and temperatures fell in Indiana today in the wintriest weather of the season, a, storm which coated most of the state with a traffic-silowing blanket of white and ended a record-break-ing spell of springlike warmth. Motorists skidded gingerly along highways and streets this morning as flakes fell and froze on driving surfaces, and a fatal accident near Lafayette was blamed on a patch of ice on a bridge floor. The victim was Walter G. Long, 50, Oxford, thrown from his skidding car. Temperatures tumbled abruptly after eight days of balminess featuring readings in the upper 50s and 60s. The sharp drop set the stage for the snow, which forecasters expected to accumulate to a depth of around four inches in the extreme north portion of the state. , ~T Even before dawn, up to three inches of snow was measured in Northwestern Indiana; from South Bend westward around the southern tip of Lake Michigan. Die accumulation ranged down to an inch or so by 8 a.m. at Indianapolis, and it was still snowing. The snow was recorded as far
