Floyd County Board Corrects Practices INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Floyd County Commissioners have assured the Indiana State Board of Accounts that practices which field examiners said showed "much lack of conformity to statutory requirements and procedures’’ have been corrected. The report covering 1961 was an audit made of the records of County Auditor Henry Perry. However, the criticized procedures were in other departments of county government and were cited because of the constitutional right of the auditor to serve as a check on the financial expenditures of the other departments. Among items cited by field examiners were: — Deputy Sheriff Raymond Streegel sold pigs worth $l2B to the Floyd County Home, although there are statutory bars to business transactions by a county official with a county organization. —The Floyd County Commissioners purchased a $7,000 insurance policy from Charles Vernia, who was a member of the county council. —No tax sales have been held since 1956, although the state board says the county auditor is required to make an annual list of lands and lots upon which taxes are delinquent and which are eligible for sale for taxes. —The county commissioners’ records dp “not indicate that the minutes were read or were signed by the board or attested by the county auditor.’’ —Applications for the admission to the county home were not properly prepared. —Fees collected by the county auditor for filing mortgage exemptions were not entered in the fee and cash book and were not paid into the county general fund until the close of periods for filing mortgage exempt ions. —County Home Supt. Alvin Mason purchased food supplies on the open market in excess of SI,OOO without taking bids and without attaching invoices. —The county highway department purchased bridge lumber in excess of SI,OOO without bids being let or received. —The county highway supervisor purchased stone and liquid asphalt in excess of the amount advertised when bids were requested. —Rental of equipment for highway work did not show on the record that it was authorized by the county commissioners. —No advertising was placed in local newspapers for bids on road material. —The Floyd County sheriff purchased gasoline for sheriff’s cars on the open market with .no advance requisition. If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

Sentence Two Ex-Soldiers To Hanging TOPEKA, Kan. (UPI) — Two teen-age former soldiers who have admitted killing seven persona in a five-state crime spree in 1961 are scheduled to hang Jan. 31. The Kansas Supreme Court Tuesday set the execution date for George R. York of Jacksonville, Fla., and James D. Latham of Mauriceville, Tex. “We killed together, so we expect to die together,” York and Latham said when they were convicted Nov. 7, 1961, in Russell, Kan. The two youths now are in death row at the Kansas Penitentiary at Lansing. They are specifically charged with the Wallace County murder of Otto E. Ziegler, 62, an Oakley, Kan., railroad man. But York and Latham also admit killing two persons in Florida, two in Illinois, one in Tennessee and one in Colorado. York and Latham said their first victims were Patricia Ann Hewitt, 25, and Althea Ottavio, 44. both of Valdosta, Ga. The two women were strangled May 29, 1961, when they met the AWOL soldiers en route to the dog races at Jacksonville, Fla. The next victim was an elderly porter for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. John Whitaker, 71, was shot June 7 near his home at Tullahoma, Tenn. The young killers fled to Illinois, where they said they shot Albert E. Reed, 58, Troy, 111., as he drove to work near Litchfield. Martin Drenovac, 69, operator of a service station at Granite City, was beaten to death. Both these murders occurred June 8. The next day, the sixth victim, Ziegler, stopped to aid two motorists whose car appeared to be broken down on a lonely highway in western Kansas. York and Latham said they shot him four times and robbed him of about SSO. Rachel Moyer, 18, a hotel maid was shot to death and sexually abused near Craig, Colo., on June 10. She was the seventh and last victim, but the killers actually thought they had killed eight times. When they were arrested at a roadblock in Utah June •11, they had in their possession a pistol with eight notches on it. Latham ,and York said the eight notch was for a Louisiana fish peddler who was beaten and left for dead. The peddler recovered. Defense counsel fdb Latham and York attempted during th,e trial to prove the two were “mentally deranged little boys.” But the prosecutor, Asst. Atty. Gen. Selby Soward, told the jury, “York and Latham are men .. . they are 18 and 19, served in the Army, and must be treated as men who violated the most serious law of man and God.”

Says Plan To Bring Politics Into Guard INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Maj. Gen. Wendell Phillippi, commanding officer of the Indiana National Guard’s 38th Infantry Division, said Tuesday a new officers career plan would bring politics into the Guard. Phillippi charged the plan represented “an effort to set up the Guard on a four-year rotation basis so each governor gets his own commanding general.” “The adjutant general has always been like this, but the commander never was,” he said. “Up until now no one has raised the question of what the politics of the commander was." He referred to the announcement by Indiana Adj. Gen. John S. Anderson on a plan for a promotion schedule and limitation on the number of years an officer may command a unit. The plan was designed to give officers an incentive to complete a minimum of 20 years service. There are 721 Army National Guard officers and 89 command posts. Phillippi also said he resented not being summoned to sit in on conferences leading to the decision to set up the plan which calls for a career placement board, headed by the division commander, which would review a personal evaluation report to be filed by each officer. Phillippi would head the board as long as he is in command. The plan also calls for officers to attend school to prepare themselves for promotions.
