Seymour Man Freed Under Court Order PENDLETON, Ind. (UPI) — A 21-year-old Seymour man, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a 2-5 year term for seconddegree burglary more than six months ago, was freed from the Indiana Reformatory today in the custody of the Jennings County sheriff’s office. Percival Perry was freed as a result of a Monday ruling by Special Judge Fred S. Matthew in Jennings Circuit Court which ordered that “the judgment of guilty be set aside and confinement be terminated” because a previous trial “violated the constitutional right of the defendant.” The ruling reversed a Feb. 14 judgment by another judge. Matthews ruled in favor of a

writ of error because there was evidence Prosecutor Christopher D. Moritz was not licensed to practice before the court at the time charges were placed against Perry. Perry was held by the Jennings County sheriff on $2,000 bond pending further action by the court. Basketful Os Bread Crumbs Given Mayor GARY, Ind. (UPI) -“Operation Crumb” plannned to begin sprinkling Mayor John V'isclosky’s office with bits of bread today but the mayor’s office said he was “ready and waiting with peanut butter and jelly. 2 A civil rights group, protesting what it called discrimination in housing, began a direct action campaign Monday designed to shower the mayor and his administration with envelopes and boxes of bread crumbs. George Neagu, publicity chairman of the Combined Citizens Committee on Open Occupancy, said he will personally deliver the “first crumb” to Visclosky. Visclosky said he plans to “ignore” the expected barrage. “But we have peanut butter and jelly on hand just in case,” a spokesman at his office said. Later, when a 9-member committee arrived at the mayor’s office with a bushel basket of breadcrumbs, Visclosky was absent. Tom Kennedy, the mayor’s executive secretary, received the crumbs and said he would give them to Visclosky. Neagu, who was spokesman for the group, read a petition which said “the community no longer is satisfied with civil rights crumbs and demands a full loaf of citizenship.” Neagu told reporters at the ■ office the crumbs would begin arriving “in the next mail” and he considered “phase one of our direct action program is launched.”

State Traffic Toll Continues To Mount By United Press International The death of a Lafayette man today from injuries suffered in a Saturday collision raised Indiana’s weekend traffic fatality toll to at least 15 and the year’s total to 759, compared with 714 a year ago. Alfred Harbolt, 65, was injured fatally in a heard-on collision in Indiana 26 near Lafayette. The accident occurred, authorities said, when a car driven by Larry Chaney, 18, Lafayette, crossed the center line while passing a cement truck. Chaney and three other persons were hurt. Two car-train collisions Monday contributed to the rising toll. A 28-year-old lineman for the General Telephone Co. was killed Monday night when he drove his car onto a rainswept Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad crossing near Cottage Grove and rammed into the side of a moving diesel engine. Authorities said the victim, Ronald Floyd, Connersville, may not have seen the train because of the heavy rain.

She had just left a nearby home for the aged where she worked as a cook, police said. Debris from her battered car was strewn more than a quarter-mile along the tracks. The Chicago - bound James Whitcomb Riley Special was delayed more than an hour by the mishap.

Annual State Fair To Open On Saturday INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The annual Indiana State Fair, a latesummer tradition for more than a century, opens its gates for a 12day stand Saturday. They say it is bigger and better than ever. It may not be bigger from a standpoint of space covered and crowds attracted, but sponsors believe the scope that is broadened by improvements year after year justifies the “bigger” description. Hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers will file through the gates before the big exposition ends Sept. 4, attendance building up to a climax over the Labor Day weekend. The usual attractions will be there plus new ones. Fairgoers will enjoy such traditional events as grand circuit and Indiana harness racing, a western horse whow, Jack Kochman’s Hell Drivers, a 100-mile stock car race, auction of 4-H livestock champions, high school band contest, pet parade and dozens upon dozens of produce and handicraft exhibits. They also will great famed comedian Jimmy Durante, who gives four performances on the opening weekend, and hillbilly stars Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas and Max BaSr over the Labor Day weekend in the Coliseum. Many Contests Scheduled Other special events include horseshoe pitching, baton twirling, sheep shearing, chicken barbecue, rooster crowing contests and style shows. But the main attraction is, as always, the exhibits of livestock, fruits, vegetables, handiwork and other crafts and produce by 4-H boys and girls and adult contestants from every nook and cranny of a state known far and wide for its agricultural prowess and skil-ful-fingered craftsmen. Displays will be decorated with blue, red and white ribbons and championship medallions in the farmers’, agriculture -horticulture, women’s and poultry buildings and the sheCp, swine and saddle horse barns. Entertainment will be featured in the coliseum and in front of the grandstand throughout the fair. Some of it is free, but the professional entertainment isn’t. Midway As Usual Among the “extras” are the carnival midway with its gaudy sounds and gay color, a regulation fire tower to climb in a conservation exhibit, and a miniature farm of “child-size” animals for the kiddies. ' Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, state commissioner of agriculture, calls the fair “a wonderful showcase for the achievements of Hoosier farms and industries.” Most Hoosiers who go to the fair—and a sizeable percentage do —agree with hjm.

Accused Slayer Os Officers Surrenders RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. (UPI)— A moonshiner who killed a sheriff and a police chief with a single shotgun blast walked out of woods with his hands held’ high Monday when his teen-age daughter begged him to surrender. “I’m very, very sorry it all happened,’’ said Troy Thornton, 40, who gave up without a fight when he heard his daughter, Carolyn, 18, plead with him to surrender over a highway patrol car loudspeaker. Thornton, who was placed in jail here, faces first degree murder charges in the Sunday afternoon shooting. A slender man who has twice been convicted of moonshining, Thornton had been told by his doctor he has cancer and has only a few months to live, his relatives said. “He thought he didn’t have anything to lose,” his wife told officers. Thornton was accused of killing Sheriff Herman (Red) Cook and Littleville Police Chief Neil Pace with a single shotgun blast and critically wounding Deputy Don Files with a rifle shot. Another deputy who had gone to Thornton’s house to investigate was not hurt. Body Os Man Is Found Near Peru PERU, Ind. (UPI)—A farmer’s complaint of trespassers led police to a desolate gravel pit in a “lover’s lane” area Monday night and the body of a man who had been beaten to death., The body of Raymond McCarthy, 28, Springfield, Mass., was found near the parked car which aroused the farmer’s suspicion. Authorities said he had been clubbed to death. Police began a search for a bowlegged, stocky man with a pockedmarked face which the farmer’s two teenaged sons said they had seen emerging from the gravel pit area earlier. James Hartman, who says he has been troubled with teenagers who use his property as a “lover’s lane,” told police his sons saw the parked car near the barn when they went to get a horse. He said he told them to return and leave a note on the auto’s windshield, warning its owner not to park there. The second man was seen strolling from the gravel pit area as the boys, returned to the barn -after leaving the note, police said. Hartman called state police when the car remained. Officers found the body after a brief search of the area. --

Several Accidents Kill 19 Servicemen

By United Press International The U.S. armed forces counted at least 19 dead today in a series of accidents in thid country and abroad. Six servicemen were missing. The Bth U.S. Army in Korea said it had found the bodies of six soldiers killed Aug. 4 in the crash of a light aircraft on a mountainfside 85 miles northeast of Seoul. Identification of the victims was withheld. The aircraft carrier Kearsarge reported the loss of four crewmembers in separate crashes of two of its aircraft. The Kearsarge said an extensive sea and air search had failed to turn up any signs of Lt. Cmdr. Lawrence R. Allen, Coronado, Calif., Lt. 4J.G.) James R. Malancon Jr., Houma, La., and Michael J. Gejrou, Drayton, N.D., whose S2F radar plane was lost at sea southeast of Kyushu Aug. 14. The 7th Fleet carrier said K.L. Adams, Smith Center, Kan., drowned and three men were injured when their helicopter crashed into the sea near the same spot two days later. Crash Kills Three Three sailors were killed and Says Alarm Clock Independent Symbol By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPT) — An alarm clock is a cherished symbol of independence, according to two women who want 28 of these noisy reminders of another working day. Most poeple aroused by alarm clocks have used other terms of description but they do not view them from the same angle as Miss Martha Rogers, chief of the nursing staff at Central State Hospital, and Mrs. Rachel Bash, volunteer director at the hospital for the mentally ill. The hospital is in the process of utilizing space in the new Bahr Treatment Center for special wards to house 44 men and women patients who either have jobs on the “outside” or are job-hunt-ing. The structure is intended for an admissions center but because ot limited funds the hospital has not been able to acquire the staff needed for such Handle Daytime Jobs So on what may be a temporary basis; part of the center is being used to house patients whose almost complete recovery has made it possible for them to handle daytime jobs and return to the hospital at night. Miss Rogers explained that only 6ne attendant is needed for such purpose and that attendant already was on duty in the center anyway. However the hospital had no funds for alarm clocks. Previously, attendants on the various wards in the main hospital had awakened the employed patients, but with their transfer to the special wards, the job was felt to be too much for one attendant. “If they are going to be completely responsible for themselves someday, they will have to get themselves up instead of being called,” Miss Rogers and Mrs. Bash said. “This is away to gain independence and work toward becoming completely self-sustaining members of the community again.” The special wards will enable the 22 women and 22 men picked for the project to adopt other selfsustaining duties, such as cleaning their own rooms, cooking light meals, and answering telephone calls. Miss Rogers said that one of the women transferred to the special ward has been at Central for 22 years. “It is quite a step for her,” she said. Possibly half of the patients already had jobs outside the hospital to which they go each work day. Some are employed as secretaries, others in domestic work and industrial jobs. Cyclone Division To Hold Reunion The 38th (Cyclone) division, Avengers of Bataan, veterans association, is planning a two-day reunion for World War I and II veterans.

Werking, 606 Vasbinder Dr., Chesterfield, or John W. Gregory, 3 Hillcrest Court, Danville.
