(UPI) — A psychiatric test may be ordered today for teen - aged Harry Hebard, who killed the father he idolized, his stepmother and her three children because he felt he had been “left out.” Dist. Atty. Robert Warren said Brown County Judge James Byers could order the examination at the request of attorney Robert Parins, who was appointed to defend the youth. Warren said he might ask for a mental test if Parins didn’t at the arraignment today. The youth, 16, a product of a broken home, showed remorse only for the death of his father, daredevil “stuntman” Jack Hebard, 37, during his appearance in court Wednesday. He showed no signs of sorrow at the slayings of his stepmother or her three children. The motive for the pistol and rifle slayings was shrouded in a signed statement the youth gave to Warren detailing the killings. The district attorney declined to release it in full. “I can tell you this,” said Warren, “there was no single specific motive as such. The boy said he had felt left out of the family circle. He showed remorse for killing his father, but none for the others.” In Chicago, a leading child psychologist, Dr. Bruno Bettelheim, said the five slayings probably were the result of a “murderous rage.” He said such killings are often the result of “extreme” emotional disturbance accompanied by “an absence of inner control.” ’ In an interview with a Chicago’s American reporter in court, Hebard said, "I guess I expect to go to reform school until I am 18. After that I don’t know what’ll happen. I don’t care anymore.” His words were mumbled. As he spoke, he hung his head and clasped his hands in his lap. He held back tears. Authorities said that during his confession he had said: , . . . “I never felt I was included in the family circle.” Evansville Man Is Held For Slaying EVANSVILLE, Ind. (UPI) —William C. Ryan, 47, an unemployed Evansville concrete finisher, was held by authorities today on preliminary charges of killing Mrs. Pearl S. Sutton, 68, Evansville. Officials said Mrs. Sutton died of multiple bruses. Police arrested Ryan after neighbors told them of a disturbance at the Sutton home.

Fate Os 39 On Missing Ship Unknown MIAMI (UPD—A Coast Guard cutter docked here today with two lifejackets and other items from the missing marine Sulphur Queen but the fate of the 39 men who sailed aboard the tanker 19 days ago was still unknown. Lt. (j.g.) Tom Troutman of Knoxville, Tenn., commander of the cutter, said boards picked up with the lifejackets had been in the water for at least a week. “The stuff already had marine growth on it,” Troutman said. He said he did not believe the lifejackets had been used. He said that if anyone had been wearing the jackets they would have been strapped in securely and the jackets were found floating free. Troutman said the boards picked up by the cutter did not appear to have been burned. He said an air horn for a lifeboat also was taken aboard the cutter. Troutman indicated the debris could have drifted 275 miles to the southeast if it had been in the water a week. Crewmen on the cutter said the boards could have been of the type used to separate cargo on the deck of a tanker. _ Four planes were to continue the search for the missing tanker today. The search was renewed Wednesday after the one lifejacket and debris was found. Discovery of the flotsam in the Florida straits Wednesday touched off a renewed air-sea search for possible survivors of the 524-foot vessel, last heard from Feb. 3 on a voyage from Beaumont, Tex., to Norfolk, Va., with a cargo of molten sulphur. The search was concentrated in an area from Miami southwestward through the Florida Keys to Dry Tortugas, a group of small islands about 70 miles west of Key West. A Maritime Union port agent told a Coast Guard hearing at Beaumont Wednesday that the Sulphur Queen had undergone a series of fires at sea on previous voyages and the crew had asked that provisions be made to control “spontaneous fires in the tanks” of the ship. The life jacket plainly stenciled “Sulphur Queen,” an oil can bearing similar markings, a conical shaped piece of debris which appeared to be part of a fog horn —also marked with the name of the missing ship—plus part of a broken life raft and other debris were sent to Miami aboard a 95foot Coast Guard cutter. The cutter was diverted Wednesday night to investigate sighting of a flare—not in the area where Sulphur Queen survivors would likely be—and then had a breakdown in one of its own engines, delaying its arrival in Miami until this morning. The life jacket and -other debris were found Wednesday about 14 miles southeast of Key West. A small Navy boat used for retrieving stray practice torpedoes used at the big Key West submarine base found the debris and an oil slick covering an area of about 16 square miles. Other vessels were ordered to the area to help search for more signs of the missing vessel, and a search for possible survivors was renewed in the Keys and surrounding waters. By nightfall, the search had been fruitless. The Sulphur Queen was last heard from on Feb. 3 when it sent a personal message for a crew member, a message which gave no hint of trouble on board.

Powell Claims Attacks Made Due To Race WASHINGTON (UPI) — Rep. Adam Clayton Powell says if nepotism and nightclubbing are good enough for senators, they’re good enough for him. The New York Negro Democrat, replying to criticism of his wellpuzlicized activities by Sen. John J. Williams, R-DeL, told a crowded, klieg-lighted news conference Wednesday: “Equality is equality. I’m a member of Congress and as good as anyone else.” The Senate and House, he said, “are filled with men and women who are doing the same things . . .use of counterpart funds, relatives on their payrolls and working to get projects for their districts.” Powell, urbane and jocular through an hour of questioning, said Williams* three attacks on him on the Senate floor were because of his color and not his “I say unequivocally (it was) because I’m a Negro,” Powell said. Powell produced a long list of Williams’ votes since 1948 which he said showed the Delaware Republican to be “100 per cent” against dv'l rights. Shortly before Powell’s charge, Williams told the Senate he never had Used race, religion or national origin in criticizing anyone and would not start now. He said anyone raising the race question was “trying to cloud the issue.” Williams, renewing the criticism of Powell that he started Feb. 5, also said* that both the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations had shown “far too much compassion toward” Powell in his tax affairs and other deaL tags. Powell called some of the charges against him by Williams “inaccuracies and lies.” But the congressman made clear he would not deny such things as putting Mrs. Powell on his payroll and spending counterpart funds—local currencies held by the U.S. embassies in foreign countries —in night clubs and resorts. Powell said there was nothing wrong with hiring relatives, and added at least 100 other House members and senators did it. He contended the difference was that the Senate tried to hide its nepotism. He said there was nothing illegal about using counterpart funds for entertainment, and as for the propriety of it: “When you go to Paris you can’t spend all your time in Notre Dame (cathedral).” Separating Bacon Strips of packaged bacon are usually so firmly pressed together that you can’t separate them for frying without tearing or shredding. To help break up this strip-to-strip adhesion, roll the package gently between your hands first one way, then the other, before opening it. The bacon strips will then separate quite easily.

Decatur Lions Hear Conservation Talk Conservation officers Jack Hurst, of Geneva, and Jim Wire, of LaGrange county, presented the program Monday evening at the Decatur Lions club meeting. The program was arranged by the February program committee and Milt Spence was in charge. Officer Wire narrated a film showing the activity on northern Indiana lakes. Greater activities, of course, take place in the summer months but many people enjoy ice fishing and skating during the winter season. Principal use of the lakes are fishing, swimming and boating. Many tragedies occur each summer in the lake area and most are due to carelessness and disregard of the rules. Speed boats and water skiers many times make it almost impossible for fishermen to enjoy their sport except early in the morning and at night. In the summer season, conservation officers from the central and southern areas of the state are transferred, temporarily, to the lakes region to assist with the law -enforcement problem. Conservation officers conduct swimming classes, teach safety and a regard for the rights of others. Wire reported that there are several herds of deer in LaGrange county and that 62 have been seen at one time. A count was kept last Sunday afternoon and over 500 cars drove down a remote county road to get a view of one of the herds of deer. “We are indeed fortunate to live in an area where a two hour drive wiR take you to many beautiful lakes and other spots of beauty,” Wire concluded. Portland Trucker Is Uninjured In Crash HIGHLAND, Ind. (UPD — Two tractor-trailer trucks burst into flames Wednesday night after colliding head-on west of here on U S 40.
