Third Stay Os Execution Is Granted Dull MICHIGAN CITY. Ind. (UPDJay Dull, who gained his, third reprieve from death in the electric chair Monday, greeted the news with a solemn pledge to “become a new man.’’ Dull, now 26, was convicted in Delaware Circuit Court March 24. 1961, for the Dec. 22, 1960, slaying of James J. Tricker, Muncie cab driver. Tricker was shot in the head during a holdup and left to die in a snowbank. Warden Ward Lane of the Indiana State Prison went to Dull’s cell after getting a telephone call from Chief Justice Amos Jackson of the Indiana Supreme Court Monday afternoon. 32 hours before the scheduled time of execution. "He already had heard the news on a radio in his cell,” Lane said. “But he seemed overjoyed. He said that because of religious visitations, he has had a change of heart and if he should get a commutation from his death sentence, or a life term, he would become a new man.” The Indiana Supreme Court, with one judge absent, voted unanimously to grant a reprieve and order Delaware Circuit Court Judge Alva Cox to give Dull a change of judge. Cox had denied such a plea last week. Welsh Granted Stay Dull’s last reprieve came Sept. 11 of last year when Governor Welsh issued a temporary stay of execution only 12 hours and 16 minutes before Dull was to have died in the electric chair. Welsh took the action when the U.SSupreme Court said it could not act on Dull’s plea error before last Oct. 1. However, the court the following month denied Dull a hearing. Dull also had been granted a stay of execution Sept. 14, 1961, by Indiana Supreme Court Justice Frederick Landis to give the defense time to prepare briefs and arguments on an appeal. Several months later the court refused to review the case. Dull had been convicted in the slaying along with a companion, Walter Line, who received life imprisonment. The court’s latest reprieve climaxed a dramatic day during which Dull's mother, Mrs. Lee Haskett, accompanied by her husband and a Muncie attorney, Frederick' McClellan, went to the Statehouse to plead with Welsh to commute the-death sentence to life imprisonment. Z Atfaits Court Action However, Welsh told McClellan he would wait first and* see what the Supreme Court would do with the petition for a writ mandating the lower court to order a change of judge. Dull also filed with the court a plea for a stay of execution on grounds he was without counsel and that he had been denied his constitutional rights in his indictment and trial. Mrs. Haskett and her husband were told of the court's action by McClellan, and the couple left quietly without talking to Welsh. “I’ve tried a thousand times to find the place where I went wrong,” Mrs. Haskett told newsmen befbre she left. “Jay was so very obedient as a boy. He never argued. He always accepted what he was told to do,” she said. “Nothing will be solved if he is executed,” she added.

Churchill Cheered By House Members LONDON (UPI) — Sir Winston Churchill returned in triumph to his beloved House of Commons for the first time in 11 months today. The 88-year-old elder statesman was greeted with cheers from Conservatives. Laborites and Liberals alike when he made his entrance. He stayed only 36 minutes, but obviously enjoyed every minute.

Labor party leader Harold WilkOfi 'anfl Liberal party leader Jo Grimond quickly associated themselves Vrith Macmillan’s remarksSir Winston bowed gravely from his seat to each compliment. It was a dramatic performance, for it had appeared unlikely that Churchill ever would return to the Commons after .he fell and broke his almost a year ago. Only 13 cays ago, announced he would not run again in the next general election, thus ending 60 years as a member of parliament.. Many MPs believed that Churchill’s appearance today was a swan song.

Jet Age Is Ushered Into Auto Industry

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (UPDChrysler Corp, ushered thb jet age into the automotive industry today with the introduction of its long-awaited turbine powered car at Roosevelt Raceway. The car, which will be tested by some 200 motorist* during the next year, is a’sleek four-seater styled by Ghia of Italy. Chrysler thinks it might hold the key to one of the richest caches of the automotive future. The turbine is the result of years of planning and research’ Cub Seoul Circus Is Held Saturday Lincoln Cub pack 3061 went “all out’ Saturday afternoon in presenting its first three-ring Cub Scout circus at Hanna-Nuttman park. Proceeding the presentation of the “biggest show on earth,” a gala parade wended its way from the North west school to the Boy Scout cabin, the site of the circus. The city fire truck and the city police car headed the parade, followed by members of the Red Men lodge, dressed in authentic Indian regalia, the Adams county Shrine calliope; Cubs, dressed in various costumes of strong men, at ladies, tattooed men, acrobats, clowns, ring masters, magicians, elephants bears and other animals (of course with '.Cubs inside), two life sized bunnies and a cavalcade of automobiles with admiring parents and friends.

The circus started promptly at 2 o’clock with a word of welcome allegiance by the entire group, from Kenneth Erhart, chairman, and the reciting of the pledge of allegiance by the entire group led bv members of the Baptist Boy Scout troop 66. The audience paid strict attention to the throe rings that were in simultaneous progress. Ring one consisted of raising the circus tent, depicted by a “tug of war’ between den one and den three, under the direction of Scotty Martindill. Ring two participated in “watering the elephants,” the actors being den four and den five, under the supervision of Dr. Ralph Allison. Ring three had a contest in “driving the circus stakes,” guided by Russell Freed and James Stooke, den seven performed this act. At the intermission between the acts, Bob Cat pins were presented by “AW the spiritual head of cubbing, to David Burkhart and Jon Roughia. James Harkless and A. N.

by Chrysler engineers. Both Ford and General Motors have been working on turbine-engined vehicles for some time and Ford plans to. introduce a turbine-pow-ered truck this month. However, Ford admits the truck is at least eight years away from mass production. Car A Week Beginning thia fall, Chrysler will turn out a car a week for the market. Ultimately, 50 tur-bine-powered cars will be built and distributed. Chrysler said 200 motorists would be selected to drive the turbine cars. The method of selection has not been determined, a Chrysler spokesman said, but each motorist will drive one of the cars on a no-charge basis for about three months. Chrysler said 4,000 orders from would-be purchasers have been received but none will be honored. “The objective of this phase of our turbine program is to obtain a broad-based consumer evaluation of turbine passenger cars through actual use by a variety of typical motorists under normal driving conditions,” Chrysler Vice President Robert Anderson said. Chrysler said its ' new turbine delivers about 130 horsepower, which the company said would equal a standard engine of more than 200 horsepower. The engine weighs about 400 pounds, about one-half as much as the standard V-A

Slow On Acceleration Because of the reduction in the •weight of the engine, Chrysler has bee able to build a personal sports car in the 3,000-pound class. That .gives it a favorable power-to-weight ratio. The disadvantages of the turbine engine are that it is slow on acceleration and hard on fuel. For that reason, Ford and General Motors have seen it as a truck power plant. Also the engine emits a high-pitched whine, much like a jet engine. Chrysler engineers said they could cure the noise problem but have decided to leave it in as a “status symbol.” Union Chapel Plans Daily Bible School The vacation Bible school of the Union Chapel Evangelical United Brethren church will open Monday, May 27, and continue through June 2.
