Former Local Young Man Wreck Victim

A former Decatur young man was one of four persons killed in a two-car accident on U. S. 27, two miles north of Auburn, at 8:45 o’clock Saturday evening. Tim Allen Murphy, 22-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Murphy, former Decatur residents now living in Garrett, was one of three persons killed instantly in the crash, with a fourth dying a few hours later. Also killed in the crash were Amos Glassley, a retired postal official, and his wife, Anna, Fort Wayne residents, and Jesse A. Rayl, 78, also of Fort Wayne. Roger Kees, 23, of Garrett, driver of the vehicle in which Murphy was a passenger* was listed in critical condition in the Parkview hospital in Fort Wayne with severe head and chest injuries. Listed in fair condition at the Lutheran hospital was Mrs. Esther Schmidt, 67, of Fort Wayne, who v<as riding in the same auto as the other three Fort Wayne residents who were fatally injured. Collide Head-On The mishap occurred as Glassley, who retired in 1955 after 37 years with the Fort Wayne post office, attempted to pass a truck while northbound on 27. Kees was traveling south, with Murphy as a passenger, and attempted to avoid collision with the Glassley car by pulling onto the west berm of the highway. Glassley, however, also attempted to avoid striking the Kees car by pulling off the road and onto the berm, and the two vehicles collided head-on. The fatal mishap was the second in two years in which Murphy was involved. A two-car crash in the summer of 1961 claimed the life of one youth and critically injured the former Decatur young man. After a lengthy stay in the hospital, however, he recovered from the injuries. A 1959 graduate of Decatur high school, Murphy was an all-around athlete participating in football, basketball and track. He was named all-conference in football in 1958 and 1959, and was co-captatn of the team in his senior year, in addition to being elected as president of the D-club. The young man lived with his parents at 106 E. Second Ave. m Garrett, where his father operates the Garrett Bowling Alley.

Negro Leaders Study Action

By United Press International Negro leaders meet today to decide what action to take in the wake of Brig. Gen. George C. Gelston’s refusal to permit daily prayer meetings on the Cambridge, Md., courthouse lawn. Gelston said early today that no demonstrations would be permitted under any circumstances. There were indications the Negroes would demonstrate despite Gelston’s order. One integration leader, Mrs. Gloria H. Richardson, told an overflow crowd at a Washington, D.C. church Sunday that unless racial fires are dampened in Cambridge, President Kennedy may have to visit the town personally to avert “civil war.” No Control "Unless something is achieved soon in Cambridge, then no one is going to be able to control thousands of Negroes who have been provoked by generations of segregation, by countless indignities and now by uncontrollable white mobs,” Mrs. Richardson warned. Calling for a presidential civil rights speech “more_ searching and more profound than any he has ever given,” Mrs. Richardson said it is the President’s duty to mediate differences and upheld the law of the land. . Meanwhile, new integration developments broke out in Kansas and Florida and integrationjsts in Chicago aimed their newest desegregation drive at Mayor Rich- ♦ ard Daley, who once could count on overwhelming support from Negroes for his Cook County Democratic organization. At Lawrence, Kan., about 100 Negroes and 70 white integrationists staged a civil rights march Sunday and a Negro attorney announced that "we are not going to wait 100 years for equal rights.” More demonstrations. were promised in ' Ocala, *Fla., to protest the arrests of, 44 Negroes and a white integration leader. The Congress of Racial - Equality (CORE) in Chicago carried its protest against alleged school segregation in the city to the

doorstep of Mayor Daley’s City Hall office. Daley responded by saying CORE had a right to demonstrate but that he would not tolerate interference with business at city hall. The nation’s racial scene: Chicago—James Forman, head of the Student Non-violent Coodinating Committee, said a new civil rights bill tougher than the one proposed by President Kennedy, will be introduced in Congress by a “Democratic representative.” He declined to identify the congressman. Jackson, Miss.— Six groups of integrationists Sunday were turned away from five white Protestant churches in the first attempted “kneel-ins” in about a month. An usher at Galloway Methodist Church who turned away the Rev. Ralph E. King Jr., a white Methodist chaplain accompanied by his wife and a Negro student, said "this is a Christian church and we intend to keep it that way. We will not admit Negroes.” Washington— The AFL-CIO said it will begin a major national campaign against racial discrimination in services, schools, voting, housing, public places, unions and employment. It will revolve around community action by AFL-CIO unions. Indianapolis— The Indiana Department of the American Legion defeated a resolution seeking to condemn the whites-only membership policy of its 40-and-6 organization.

Russia, China In New Stage Os Cold War MOSCOW (UPI) — The Soviet Union and Communist China, their ideological talks broken off in failure, today began a new stage of their cold war for control of the world’s Communist parties. Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, seeking to align support for his peaceful coexistence policies, announced plans to visit Hungary. He already has scheduled a trip to Yugoslavia next .month and summoned a meeting of the COMECON—East Europe’s Common Market—for this week. (Communist China, whose delegates flew home Sunday at the end of 15 days of fruitless talks, today accused the Soviets of “unbridled slanders and vinifications,” according to New China News Agency reports heard in Tokyo. ■ ■ (Chinese party chief Mao Tzetung made a rare visit to Peking airport Sunday to welcome the delegation home. The Chinese press attacked the Soviets and repeated Peking’s determination to pursue a militant line in seeking the spread of communism.) Soviet Reaction Restrained Today’s Soviet newspapers were more restrained. They printed the communique on the the end of die talks and expressions of support for the Khrushchev thesis that nuclear war must be avoided in the campaign to convert the world to communism. (Communist diplomats in London reported that Moscow has warned Peking that* the backbone of their alliance, the 30-year mutual defense treaty, may be scrapped if an excess of zeal lands China in a war.) Khrushchev’s announcement, reported by the Tass news agency, did not set a date for the trip to Hungary, one of the most loyal supporters of the Soviet line. But the pattern of the new stage of Sino-Soviet competition was clear to diplomats here. Each of the two Communist giants would seek to line up its allies to continue the dispute. The announcement that further ideological talks were planned for “some time later” was viewed as of little practical importance. Meet On Wednesday The chiefs of state of Mongolia, a Soviet ally, and every Eastern European Communist nation except Albania will meet here Wednesday in what is formally billed as a Conference of the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance or COMECON. China can be expected to hold similar talks aligning its allies, North Viet Nam, North Korea, and the Communist parties in non-Communist Asian countries. Outside of Albania, Peking’s sphere of influence is limited to Asia. This Communist cold war thus will lead to consolidation of two rival centers of Communist power, one looking toward the Kremlin and the other to Peking for ideological leadership.

Nuclear Talks Are Continued

MOSCOW (UPD—East-West nuclear talks entered their second week today and diplomats, encouraged by Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev’s statement that "an agreement is in sight," predicted accord on a partial test ban by week's end. The U.S., British, and Soviet negotiators were reported so far along on the test ban issue that their talks have turned to other cold war problems, including measures to guard against surprise attack. Khrushchev discussed this Sunday in a meeting with Under Secretary of State W. Averell Harriman, the American nuclear delegate. They talked in a private room behind Khrushchev's Lenin Stadium box ( where Harriman watched the U.S.-Soviet track meet Sunday. Discuss Inspector Exchange It Was understood they discussed Khrushchev's offer for an exchange of inspectors as a means of safeguarding against sudden troop movements or buildups. The inspectors would be stationed at key points on the territory of opposing nation?. Harriman and British negotiator Lord Hailsham were expected to discuss the subject with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko today.

O' ’ Sheriff, Deputies On Summer Schedule The Adams county sheriff’s office has started a new summer schedule which will keep one sheriff's car out on the county roads seven nights a week, sheriff Roger Singleton announced today. Hie new schedule juggles the three officers to provide all-night services from an on-the.road vehicle, rather than just auxiliary service by someone who has already been on duty all day. It will mean more patroling of county highway areas, farm areas, and smaller villages in the county during the night that was possible previously. The new schedule took careful consideration. Singleton pointed out, because to expect three people to work 168 hours a jgeek means that at many times only one will be on duty, and the officer’s wife will be answering the telephone, when the secretary isn’t on duty. It may also mean that no officer will be available at the courthouse, if the one daytime man is out on a call, Singleton added. However, so many calls are coming in during the evenings this summer that is has become necessary to change the duty schedule. There will be two officers available every Monday, which is the day that prisoners are taken, or when most court notices are Served when court is in vacation, as it Will be until fall. St. Joseph's College Will Award Degrees RENSSELAER, Ind (UPI) —St. Joseph’s College will award degrees to about 40 Seniors at commencement exercises Friday morning. Among the candidates for degrees are several in liturgical music, the first graduates in that subject in the school’s history.

Khrushchev, who frequently has denounced Western on-site inspection proposals as attempts at espionage, brought up his inspection plan in a speech Friday. On Saturday, he said at a reception following that day's negotiations: “The talks are going well. No obstacles have been encountered so far. If they continue as they have so far. agreement is in sight.” Diplomats Are Optimistic These indications of Soviet willingness to come to a settlement, when viewed alongside Moscow’s repudiation of the Peking hard line in foreign policy, added to the optimism already felt by diplomats here. They said there appeared to.be no barriers to a test ban of nuclear explosions in the atmosphere, outer space, and under water. Diplomats stressed, however, that the agreement, even if approved, still means only limited progress on the testing issue.' The ban does nothing about underground nuclear tests, which the West insists cannot be controlled without on-site Inspection. The Soviets thus far are unwilling to grant the seven annual inspections considered the minimum safeguard by the Allies.-

WASHINGTON (UPD — The White House said today President Kennedy would ask Congress to refer the railroad rules dispute to the Interstate Commerce Commission for “prompt hearing and disposition.” Legislation to be submitted to Congress at 3 p.m. would bar any nationwide rail strike while the ICC considered the four-year-old work rules dispute. The White House announcement said that provisions for job security would be contained in any ICC order in the case. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., said the legislation would be a "single shot proposal” to give the ICC broadly expanded authority to settle the current dispute. “It is not compulsory arbitration" and is by no means •‘seizure’' of the railroads, Mansfield told newsmen at the Capitol following a conference between Kennedy and congressional leaders of both parties. The privision for hearing by the ICC and the reference to precedence for bargaining solutions indicated the administration would use the time required for hearings to press for a voluntary agreement in the long dispute over what the railroads call unnecessary jobs—“featherbedding.” J.E. Wolfe, chief negotiator for the railroads, said a bill providing compulsory arbitration of the controversy is the “only way to avoid a strike.".. Wolfe said the railroads would wait until 12-01 a.m. July 30 be. fore putting into effect new work rules that union leaders have warned will trigger a nationwide walkout. This would be a 24-hour postponement of a previous deadline which had been expected on July 29. Wolfe told newsmen: “I do not think there is any hope of a last minute agreement and I am certain the President is convinced of that.” Both sides were told to stand by for another session with the chief executive before he sends his emergency legislation to Congress. Last-minute efforts by Wirtz to mediate the dispute collapsed Sunday night and left Kennedy with no choice but to carry out his pledge to seek a law to resolve the four-year-old controversy and block a walkout. There was no official indication of what kind of legislation Kennedy would request. Observers said, however, they expected a two-step procedure would be recommended to provide an additional period for m ediation. That would be followed by arbitration of unsettled issues. This was the approach Wirtz recommended earlier for settling the two main issues—use of firemen on diesel freight or yard trains and make-up of train crews. That proposal was accepted by the railroads and rejected by the unions. There was speculation that Kennedy might ask for legislation that would deal only with these issues in the belief that others could be settled without difficulty: afterward. Many congressional leaders * have said that a week is not enough time for them to act on the railroad legislation. Any request for compulsory arbitration of the dispute would arouse strong opposition in the House and Senate and be fought by the rail unions and the AFL-CIO. —. Trainmen union President Charles Luna charged Sunday night that the railroads never intended to negotiate and were trying to obtain their demands through government intervention. Luna said in a statement that the carriers were trying to put into effect *‘a carload of local rules that cannot be classified and reduced” to a single national formula. The railroads have declared they will place new work rules into effect at 12:01 a.m. (local time* July 29 and five unions have warned they will strike any road that adopts the changes. Management claims the sweeping revisions of crew sizeb, pay systems and seniority districts were needed to eliminate alleged "featherbedding” that wastes S6OO million a year. Union leaders deny any unnec. (Continued on Page 8) I

Ward’s Trial Opens In London Today

LONDON (UPD — Christine Keeler testified in court today that Lord Astor bad paid the rent on the apartment she shared with playgirl Marilyn (Mandy* RiceDavies. Christine, whose affair with War Minister John PrOfumo nearly toppled the British government, resumed her tale of sex and sin that ranged from high society to the underworld when she a|> peared as the first witness in the trial of Dr. Stephen Ward, pli’yboy osteopath and artist. Ward pleaded innocent to a variety of vice charges that included the accusation he lived off the earnings of Christine and Mandy, It was the first time Christine had testified directly that the apartment rent was paid by I-ord Astor, although she had said at Ward’s pre-trial hearing that the osteopath had told her the rent once was paid with a check from the wealthy head of one of Britain’s most influential families. At the pre-trial hearing Mandy testified she had beep intimate with Astor, who later denied it. Start of the Affair It was at the famed Cliveden estate of Lord Astor that Christine met Profumo in the start of an affair that led to the war min ister’s resignation and an outcry that brought the Conservative government of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan close to collapse. Security questions were raised because of the disclosure that Christine had been sharing her favors at the same time with Profumo and Soviet naval attache Capt. Eugene Ivanov. Christine said she had left Ward eight or nine times but always came back and that there was a sort of understanding between them, that she would find girls for him.” “He had full control over my mind,” she said. Christine testified that in addition to sharing an apartment with Mandy she also shared her lover, the mysterious- Peter Rachman, a slum property owner and accused racketeer whose activities have created still another crisis for the British government. , Miss Rice - Davies, another scheduled prosecution witness, has said that she lived with Rachman for two years. Mandy and Christine once were roommates, but they recently have been reported feuding. Debate Property Issue The House of Commons was debating misuse of property today as a direct result of the light shed on Rachman by the Scotland Yard inquiry into the Ward case. Rachman died last November. > Miss Keeler testified that she got a job as a showgirl in London when she was 16 and met Ward at the club where she was appearing. Later, she said, he introduced her to Rachman with whom she lived for a wnile and from whom she received money

and presents. The trial drew national attention to the grimy Old Bailey . Court building and one London newspaper, the Sunday Express, indicated that more scandals would be revealed when it proclaimed it “the opening of the 1 bedutante season." Informed ’sources said the 50-year-old war minister, who moved among the top strata of British society, may wage a "no names barred” defense that could bring more scndals to public attention. Lines of spectators began forming outside the court at 2 a.m Thomas Gifford. 43-year-old social workers and criminologist, was first in line. ' - . Scandals Not Over Profumo's affair* with the 21-year-old red-haired beauty, who was also intimate with the So. viet naval attache, nearly brought down Prime Minister Harold Macmillan’s government, and there were indications that the scandals were not over yet. Jeremy Thorpe, an opposition Liberal member of Parliament, said over the weekend that two ministers were “practically certain” to resign because _pf the case. He did not identify them. The Labor party, also eager to pin criticism on Macmillan, tabled a censure motion in the House of Commons for debate today on another case linked to the Profumo scandal. It charges that government relaxation of ren t controls made it possible for slumlords like the late “Polish Peter” Rachman to operate. Rachman's wealth got publicity during Ward’s pre-trial hearing, when Christine's roommate, 18-year-old Mandy Rice-Davies, testified she lived with "Polish Pe. ter" for two years and was given lavish presents of furs and jewels. Labor charges Rachman and others with "Intolerable extortion and property profiteering." Many Famaus Patients Ward had'tnany famous patients as an osteopath and many more famous subjects for his other career as artist. The patients included Sir Winston Churchill and Elizabeth Taylor. His portrait subjects included Prince Philip and Princess Margaret. ’ There was ijo indication, however, of whom’ he planned to call as character witnesses. It was his third alleged career that brought him to trial before the Old Bailey Court on charges of living off the earnings of (Christine and Mandy, enticing other girls into prostitution, and procuring an abortion. He pleaded innocent to all charges. Ward’s activities in this field came under investigation after Profumo resigned in disgrace, admitting to the House of Commons he had lied when he denied having an affair with Christine, who also was the mistreks of the Soviet naval attache, Eugene Ivanov.
