The program has the approval of the superintendent of public instruction and the respective superintendents of the Catholic dioceses located in Indiana, Sullivan said. The law day program will see the supreme court hear argument concerning certain basic rights of all citizens, with specific emphasis on die following: The rights of a person accused of a crime to be represented by legal counsel; should the court in which he is tried appoint and provide without cost a lawyer if a person has insufficient funds to employ counsel; if a court appoints a lawyer, should such court have the power to compensate such lawyer for his services without approval of either the legislative or executive branches of the government; should such a court appointed lawyer continue such representation of his own personal belief as to the guilt or innocence of such person.

Three Are Dead In Fire In Michigan MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (UPD—The spectacle for bystanders watching firemen battling a blaze turned to horror when a corner of a two-story structure and a marquee collapsed Sunday, killing three and injuring 14. "It was a horrible sight,” Bernard Smith, a local free lance photographer said. He said his attention was first attracted by thunder from the falling wall and canopy. "People were buried under -the bricks with just an arm or a limb sticking out," he said. Those who managed to escape, he added, rushed back to help pull the injured and dead free of the rubble. "They didn’t have a chance,” Mrs- Marian Hoolihan, who lives across the street said. "The whole building appeared to be in flames. People were screaming and scrambling to get away. The tragedy struck hardest at Central Michigan University which has its campus adjacent to the structure. The three killed and at least six of the injured were students at the school. Killed were Cherrie Lou Anderson, 19, Cheboygan, Mich., a sophomore majoring in journalism; Robert A. Powers, 20, Marshall, Mich., a sophomore majoring in speech and drama and Matthew (Tang) Taychachaiyawongse, 22, an exchange student from Bangkok, Thailand, a junior in business administration. Miss Judith Bopp Is Injured Sunday Miss Judith Diane Bopp, 20, a Kendallville resident, and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bopp of Decatur, suffered severe facial lacerations in a one-car accident Sunday afternoon on the Monmouth road. The young woman received a laceration to the left side of the face and forehead, which were considered serious, and she was transfered from the local hospital to a Fort Wayne hospital. The mishap occurred at 2:30 p. m., one and one-half miles north of Decatur, at the Monmouth road’s intersection with county road 33. She was traveling north when the auto went into a skid, left the right side cf the road, and crashed into a telephone pole, flipping over and coming to rest on its top. Adams county sheriff Roger Singleton and state trcoper Alan Coppes investigated the mishap, estimating the 1960 model car driven by Miss Bopp at a total loss.

nm DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

GOP OPPOSES (Continued from Page One) flatly asked Christy to step out of the leadership unless he backed the port, which Welsh termed an administration measure. But Christy sidestepped a flat “yes” answer to questions as to the governor's directness, saying "He feels I should follow his program right down the line.” In his defense, Christy said caucus chairmen have differed with governors of their parties in the past over administration measures. Christy, from Lake County, consistently has opposed the proposed Burns Ditch project, which would be in Porter County. While the Republican leadership in the House and Senate seemed to be nearer accord than at any previous time, both faced renewal of resistance within their own ranks as the leadership session dragged on without settling the three major issues—a budget, tax program and reapportionment. If one counts progress by the yardstick of inventor Thomas A. Edison, then there has been progress. Edison, who made many thousands of tests in inventing the incandescent electric light, once commented at a point of seeming failure that he had made progress because he knew a thousand ways that wouldn’t work. Budget Available The legislature actually has a budget, which presumably would pass if it were brought to the test, but that budget takes somewhat more than S2OO million above what the present revenue structure provides. , As a result, the budget has been sidetracked until the tax program is settled. Several tax programs have been tried but failed to gain acceptance. The one which seems nearer passage was written by Democratic leaders over the weekend. Welsh, Sen. Marshall Kizer, Democratic leader, and others put the program into bill form and rushed it by car to Lt. Gov. Richard O- Ristine at Crawfordsville. Republican tax attorneys began studying the proposed bill, and a GOP leadership conference was scheduled for this morning. Both the House and Senate were due to resume sessions this afternoon, and the GOP is expected to caucus on the Democratic plan. Plan Outlined This new plan calls for a 3Vi per cent tax on adjusted gross income for individuals with exemptions of SI,OOO per taxpayer and SSOO per dependent. Also included in the package was an increase from the present % of 1 per cent tax for certain corporations, including wholesalers, to 3-5 of 1 per cent and a hike from 1% to 2% per cent for business services and other corporations or 3Vi per cent het incorrie ftx, whichever is higher. A point of near-agreement on that package apparently was reached until the question of including the long-discussed port project came up. Christy, along with Rep. Ray J. Madden, D-Ind., and most Lake County Democratic leaders, opposes a port. Several persons reported that during a closed-door meeting, the governor challenged Christy to resign as caucus chairman if he would not back the port. The GOP leadership in the Senate consistently has been challenged by a sizable group whose members think the legislature should pass a budget cut back to expected revenues. The House also has been faced by several demands to a lesser extend. Balanced Budget Seen Speaker Richard Guthrie, R-In-dianapolis, said "The longer the session goes on the greater the chances of passing a balanced budget.” Sen. D. Russell Bontrager, president pro tern, said he was dissatisfied with the Democratic package because he fears it may cause an exodus of industry from the state and that it may be tied up in the courts. Ristine Sunday night described the tax proposals of the Democrats as “unfair, untried, unstudied, until Saturday unwritten.

Communism Major Threat To Asia Peace PARIS (UPD — U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk warned today that Communist subversion and aggression still constitute a major threat to peace in south east Asia With _strong backing from the British and French, he pledged the United States would resist Communist aggression threats “wherever they arise.” Rusk said the United States has a “vital interest” in maintaining the independence of embattled South Viet Nam, where American

troops are helping fight the Communists. “The struggle may be protracted and bitter,” he said, “but we have no doubt of ultimate victory.” Rusk addressed the opening session of a three-day meeting of the South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) Council of Ministers. He spoke before meeting with French President Charles de Gaulle and Premier Georges Pompidou in what app" -ed to be a determined effc.. by both the United States and France to lift their relations out of their current deep-freeze. A preliminary talk with French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville Sunday was described by American officials as “cordial and friendly.” They discussed a broad field of issues ranging from Berlin and the European Common Market crisis to President Kennedy’s plan for an inter-Allied nuclear force in NATO. American sources said Couve de Murville showed "some interest” in the nuclear force project, though he said France still wants to know many more details.
