A Community Triumph The Decatur Jacyee’s production of the ‘’Music Man” has received so much favorable comment that anything added is almost an anti-climax. But the Jaycees certainly deserve full credit for bringing the fine local talent which is available here to the attention of the more than 3,000 who attended the two performances. In fact, the only criticism heard from dozens of people queried was the failure of Mr. and Mrs. Reid Erekson to be introduced to the audience following the performances, so that the audience could audibly reward them for the super-pro-fessional direction which they gave to the show. Mr. Erekson is a Central Soya employe who helps train salesmen, and his direction of the “Music Man” is just a small indication of the quality of professionalism which Central Soya has brought to Decatur. We are certainly happy that the Jaycees utilized this source. A number of the actors and actresses were actually more outstanding in ability and performance, if not in name, than either the Chicago or New York east Jerold Lobsiger, in the lead role, sang so much better than either the New York or Chicago, or movie, stars, that it was quite noticeable to all who have heard both. And we are sure that no one suspected that Lobsiger, who kept a smile on his face though the entire run, had been doubled up with pain Thursday night with an arm out of joint, and was no doubt in fear that it might happen again! The musical direction, by Edward Heimann, and the dancing, was of outstanding professional quality, and the choruses, especially the school board quartet, were quite a bit better than the Chicago or New York cast, according to several critics. The 11-piece orchestra was widely believed to have been an out-of-town importation, but actually consisted almost entirely of locally available musicians, including some county high school talent. The band finale, using a combined band from several county high schools marching up and down the aisles, brought the audience to a crescendo of interest, and provided a breathless ending to the great performance. The great talent from a number of schooob really complemented each other in away that brought true music enjoyment to the audience. It’s impossible to name every outstanding performer, because they were all good — Charles Stonestreet as the straight man, the young Gage boy as Winthrop, and his aunt as one of the militant ladies of the city — Lyman Hann as the mrshal, the Jaycees in their supporting roles as salesmen, etc., etc. Enough credit just cannot be given. Yes, it took a lot of work. But if a satisfied audience means anything, this was undoubtedly the best production, professional or amateur, ever to hit Decatur 1

Racial Problems Found At Hearing
INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Members of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission expressed hope that “community leaders of good will” are willing and able to find a solution to the Indianapolis race relations problems uncovered in two days of hearings here. The hearings Friday and Saturday developed a pattern of discrimination against Negroes in the fields of employment, housing and education and brought a statement from a prominent realtor that he was “ashamed” of the city’s failure to provide adequate housing for the Negroes who make up 20.5 per cent of the city's population. The Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, president of the University of Notre Dame, who presided at the hearings, said the commission will hold the hearing record open until April 5 to allow interested parties to submit further information. Firm To Probe Policies Among those planning to file such briefs is General Motors Corp, which plans an investigation of charges that its Allison Division here has a policy against promotion of qualified Negro employes. ■ Harry Benjamin, General Motors attorney from Detroit, said the results of the investigation would be turned over to the commission along with a requested breakdown of the number of Negro employes and the types of jobs they hold. Three Negro workers said that until about 18 months ago Negroes were unable to progress beyond the janitorial level despite qualifications for better jobs. Robert Martz, personnel director for Allison, said he was “shocked at the allegations.” Housing for Negroes received a major share of attention during NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Estate No. 5755 ]n the Adams Circuit Court ot Adams County, Indiana.

the two days of hearings and William Ray, a Negro realtor, said 90 per cent of Marion County's residential areas were closed to Negroes. Ray blamed the situation on the Indianapolis Real Estate Board which denied it practiced discrimination in handling home sales. Realtor Bruce Savage, former U.S. Housing commissioner, said failure ,to provide adequate rental housing for Negroes was a “serious indictment” against the real estate profession and local government officials. Voices Shame “I am ashamed of my community for what it has not done to take care of our minority groups.” Savage said in a panel discussion which ended Saturday’s session. Indianapolis public schools officially have been integrated since 1954 but several witnesses said the housing segregation has led to “de facto school segregation” since pupils must attend schools in their own neighborhoods. Mrs Osma Spurlock, deputy director of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission, also charged that “segregation exists within” the theoretically integrated schools. Rufus Kuykendall, Negro attorney. who once served on the Civil Rights Commission staff, said part of the school segregation might stem from the fact that only one Negro ever has served on the Indianapolis Board of School Commissioners. There is no Negro on the board at present. Criticizes School Board Negro dentist Dr. Ralph E. Hanley said that although the school board is chosen by the voters it is “selected rather than elected.” Hanley said normally only the candidates endorsed by the Citizens’ School Committee stand a chance in the election. The only field in which there were no complaints was that Os medical care for Negroes and opportunity for Negroes to practice medicine in the city’s hospitals. Father Hesburgh praised the city for its record in that field and said he hoped the record would prompt local citizens to “insist on the same truly American single standard of equal opportunity in other important fields such as housing and employment.” The hearing here, first of its kind in the Midwest was the fourth in a series by, the commission as part of its study of the problems of minority groups in urban areas. Results of the hearings will be reported to President Kennedy and Congress in the form of recommendations. Previous hearings were held in Phoenix, Ariz., Memphis, Tenn., and Newark, N.J.

Escaped Convict Is Sought As Kidnaper SHELBYVILLE. Ind. (UPD—A convict who escaped from the Indiana Reformatory last week while serving time for assault and battery wan sought today in the kidnaping of a teen-age girl he once dated. A 19-year-old Waldron girl told authorities she was kidnaped by Robert Brown, 24, St. Omer, as she drove into the garage of her home early Saturday from a high school play. She said she was forced at the point of an icepick to accompany Brown on a long trip into Ohio in her car during which time she was raped. The girl told authorities she was held prisoner for about 17 hours until Brown drove to his home, got out and permitted her to go free. She said she once had a date with Brown before he was sent to the reformatory in 1957 from Decatur County to serve a 1-10 year term. He had been paroled twice and returned for parole violation both times. By the time the girl notified Sheriff Edghill Moore of Shelby County, authorities were unable to find Brown, who escaped from an outside work detail at the Pendleton institution last Tuesday night. Officers had been alerted earlier that the girl was missing Her parents drove to Shelbyville to make the report Saturday when they discovered their daughter had not returned home and that the telephone wires to their home had been cut. 20 Years Ago Today April 1, 1943 — August Klein, 82, of Vera Cruz, died of bums suffered when his clothing became ignited from a grass fire at his home.

You, Your Child And The School
By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Choosing a college is a major decision. The correct choice is basic to an enjoyable and profitable experience. The wrong choice may be unpleasant. A student who wants to attend a college should begin a careful evaluation during his junior year in high school, or earlier. The first step is an accurate and realistic look at his interests, achievements, and abilities. He should consider the probable course of study to be followed. What are his cultural and social interests. Parents and students should consult with their high school advisors. The advisors will help complete a picture of the student’s needs- Estimate such items as the amount of money available (scholarships may be needed) and lim. Stations on location. Make an outline or check list which includes neds, qualifications, and questions to be answered. This will help in choosing which colleges are appropriate. The next step is to start investigating the colleges. Each institution has catalogs and brochures which explain requirements, courses and procedures. These will give a general idea of the type of college. A letter will bring answers to additional questions. If possible, a trip to the campus and a chat with one of the staff members can be helpful. Perhaps a friend has attended the college and can give some information. The college advisor in a high school is familiar with many colleges. A talk with him can often save many hours of research. The most important objective is to find a college which meets the

student’s needs. Make sure that a good variety of courses are offered in the area of major interest. A limited number of basic courses will not be sufficient. Consider the college’s prestige in relation to this area. Unquestionably, there is an increasing competition for admission to colleges. A student’s chances for acceptance will be increased by a thorough investigation. A college which meets his needs will more likely want him as a student. There are several deadlines to meet when applying for admission. These vary with different colleges. Make sure there is sufficient Time to complete all applications and examinations. High schools need time to forward transcripts and records- Obtaining letters of recommendation also takes time. Be sure to meet the deadlines. In some cases, application may actually be made during the junior year. An acceptance may be obtained which is conditional upon performance in the senior year. Many individuals will receive some rejections. Competition is strong. Colleges attempt to choose students who seem to have the best chances for success. Assistance in finding colleges with openings can be obtained from various organizations which act as clearing houses. They will try to match students with appropriate openings. These agencies can be located by checking with high school advisors, public libraries, newspaper information services, and other local directories. Admission to college can be difficult. so approach the task with a well organized plan.
