Youthful Lifer Is Granted New Trial INDIANAPOLIS (UPI> — A Terre Haute youth sentenced to life imprisonment for the slaying of a 3-year-old girl will get a new trial because a courtappointed lawyer who refused to file an appeal for him was reappointed to handle it when the defendant himself filed the appeal. •The Indiana Supreme Court reversed itself Wednesday lb grant a new trial to Donald Sparks in the slaying in 1962 of Brenda Dawn Fredericks. The high court had upheld the youth's conviction by a 3-2 vote in January but reversed itself Wednesday on his request for a rehearing. Sparks, then 18. was convicted in 1962 of killing the girl while babysitting with her. His courbappointed attorney refused to file an appeal but when Sparks, with the help of other prisoners, filed the appeal a lower court then named the same attorney to handle it. In his opinion Wednesday, Supreme Court Judge Norman Arterburn held that the lawyer “took an inconsistent opinion. If he thought there was ground for a good faith appeal, he should have filed a motion for a new trial.”

Model Sentencing Act Under Study INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — An' Indiana legislative study committee Wednesday had a look at a model sentencing act which would, among other things, abolish capital punishment. Members indicated they did not like it. The plan Was presented to the committee by Sol Rubin of New York, attorney for the National Council on Crime and Delinquency which is sponsoring the model act. No state has adopted the entire act despite endorsement by an advisory council of 50 judges although some states have adopted part of it and added sections to their existing penal codes. Rubin said most present sentencing laws are a failure and he blamed many prison riots on “chaotic sentencing practices.” The model act, which drew critical comments and questions from committee members would divide all .criminals into dangerous and non-dangerous classes. The act provides no death penalty with life imprisonment the maximum sentence for first degree murder. For all other dangerous crimes, the maximum term would be 30 years. The top sentence for nondangerous criminals would be five years, including parole, and they would be eligible for parole immediately after sentencing. The act also would create a board of psychiatrists with the power to reverse any judged decision that a criminal was or was not dangerous. Rep. Keith Bulen. R-Indian-apolis. the committee chairman, complained that the model

Claim Kennedy Inclined For Second Place WASHINGTON (UPD—Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy te' inclined toward accepting the Democratic nomination for vice president if President Johnson asks him to run, sources close to Kennedy said today. But the same sources emphasized, however, that Kennedy had done nothing and would do nothing to campaign actively for • the nomination without Johnson’s approval. They discounted reports of a feud between Kennedy and Johnson and said the attorney general was “amused" by such stories, most of which centered on the write-in campaigns staged for Kennedy in some state primaries. The sources said that Kennedy and Johnson had not talked to each other about the writein campaigns. Asked why, one source said the President had not called Kennedy and the attorney general was hesitant to call because he felt Johnson had more important things to think about. Democratic National Chairman John M. Bailey said Wednesday night he was convinced there is no rift between Johnson and Kennedy. “From my own knowledge, I am sure there isn't any rift,” Bailey told United Press International. One write-in campaign netted Kennedy 14,548 votes to 18,058 for Johnson in the New Hampshire primary this week. There were reports that Paul Corbin, a Kennedy ■ intimate who was reported to have been forced off the Democratic National Committee staff by Johnson supporters, had sparked the campaign on behalf of the attorney general. Bailey denied that Johnson had ordered Corbin’s dismissal from the committee staff. He said Corbin •was with lis for a few years, he did a good job and then left." Sources close to Kennedy ridiculed the report that Corbin inspired the New Hampshire campaign. They noted that Corbin is from Wisconsin and does not know political leaders in New Hampshire. “If he (Kennedy) really wanted to promote a write-in campaign in New Hampshire, he would have sent someone who knew more about the state’s politics,” one source said. “After all, most of the Kennedy people are from Massachusetts and he could have found someone better qualified than Corbin to conduct a campaign in a state that borders Massachusetts.” St Mary's River Reported Receding The St. Mary’s river has receded nearly a foot in the past 24 hours, according! to a reading this morning by Louis Landrum. The river measured 11.30 feet this morning, as compared to 12.13 feet at about the same time Wednesday morning. Tuesday afternoon the river had risen to a height of 12.82 feet. Although the reading this morning shows a decrease in the depth of the river, it may begin rising due to melting snow. The flood stage is 13 feet, but the river normally doesn’t begin to cause any problems until it reaches around 17 feet. Richmond Industrial Plant Is Destroyed RICHMOND, Ind. (UPD —Fire of undertermined origin virtually destroyed an industrial plant early today at a loss of about $340,000. Nobody was hurt when flames swept through the Staco Inc., plant, which manufactures electric transformers for radio and television. “gives judges no -discretion.” State Police Suptr George Everett said professional crim-', inals “obey the law only when they’re behind bars although the model act terms them non- : dangerous and calls for a five-, j year- maximum sentence.”

Test I & M Plant Later This Month The revolutionary new 600,000kilowatt Unit 4 addition to the Tanners Creek geperating plant of Indiana & Michigan Electric company in Lawrenceburg will produce its first electricity in initial tests later this month, R. E. Doyle, Jr., I&M vice president and general manager, announced today. Commercial operation of Unit 4 in May will increase the plant’s capability to 1,125,000 kw and make it the largest plant in the Hoosier state selling electric energy to the private consumer. It also will become the largest of the 15 major generating stations in the seven- state system of American Electric Power company, I&M’s parent firm. Robert H. Lawson, resident engineer in charge of construction of unit 4, reported these construction milestones as final preparations for rolling the turbine were being made: * 47,764 tons of concrete poured, including 3,221 cubic yards contained in the 550-foot stack. * In pouring concrete, approximately 450,000 square feet of forms were used. * Structural steel involved in the construction totaled 4,364 tons. * Reinforcing steel in the concrete required 3,985 tons. Record Efficiency The unit is designed to operate at an anticipated heat rate of about 8,500 British thermal units per kilowatthour of heat generation, which would establish a new record in the efficiency of the conversion of the energy of coal into electricical energy. The unit is expected to burn about 1,600,000 tons of coal annually, all of which will be delivered via river barge. At full load, it is estimated that the unit will require 6,000 tons of coal daily and 400,000 gallons per minute of circulating water for steam-condensing purposes. At the peak of construction there were 850 construction workers at the site, and mpre than 800 workers were still engaged in the final stages of construction in February. Rolling of the Unit 4 turbine this month will approximate the 13th anniversary of generation at the Tanners Creek Plant. Its Unit 1 went in service March 21. 1951; a second companion unit of 155,000 kw was placed in service late in 1952 and in December 1954 the larger Unit 3. of 215,000 kw, began commercial operation, increasing the plant’s capability to 525,000 kw. Teacher Attacks Mount In New York NEW YORK (UPD — School officials grappling with almost insoluble integration problems, today faced. a day-by-day increase of student attacks %n teachers.

Teachers in Brooklyn, Harlem and the Bronx fought off the teen-age assailants. Various charges were pressed against the five male students, two of whom threatened the teachers with knives. No charge was lodged against the 13-year-old-girl who bit a teacher on the arm when the male instructor demanded that she surrender some —razor blades.

Halleck Is Dean Os Hoosiers In House

By BOYD GILL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Indiana has only 11 congressmen but they may, boast, if they wish, a total of 150 years of service in the House. In fact, seven of the 11 have a total of 130 years. Dean of the delegation of 7 Republicans and 4 Democrats is Rep. Charles A. Halleck, RRensselaer, who has served the 2nd District since a special election in 1935, a total of 29 years. . Halleck by virtue of his long service, plus his sharp political ability, is the GOP party leader in the House and doubtless would become even more important as‘ speaker of the House if the Republicans should change their status from minority to majority in the November elections. A Republican and a Democrats are next in line — Rep. Earl Wilson, R-Bedford, of the 9th District, and Rep. Ray J. Madden, D-Gary, of the Ist. Sat Out Two Years Wilson went to Congress in 1940, two years before Madden. But he lost his bid for reelection in 1958 and sat out two years while Madden served continuously from 1942. Each has a total of 22 years as of the end of 1964. A veteran of 15 years’ service is Rep. Ralph Harvey, R-New Castle, of the 10th . District. Harvey went to Congress in a special election in 1947 and served continuously except for a two- year “vacation” from 1959 through 1960 when the voters tried a Democrat. There are four men in the 14-

year bracket —Reps. William G. Bray, R-Martinsville, in the 7th; Rep. Winfield K. Denton, D-Evansville, in the Bth, and E. Ross Adair, R-Fort Wayne, in the 4th. — - — Adair and Bray have served continuously since 1950. Denton went to Congress two years earlier than that but sat out 1953-54 when the voters chose a Republican. Although one could hardly call them freshmen, the four remaining Hoosier House members have from 4 to 6 years of service. Brademas Has Seniority The six-year men are Rep. J. Edward Roush, D-Hunting-ton, of the sth. Brademas actually has a few months’ seniority over Roush because of an election mixup jn 1960 in which Roush’s Republican foe, Gborge Chambers of' Anderson, was certified by the State’of Indiana as victor over Roush and had to wait until mid-year of 1961 before he was seated officially on the basis of a House recount. However, both Brademas and Roush were elected in 1958 and reelected every two years since. The four - year congressmen are Rep. Richard Roudebush, R-Noblesville, of the 6th District, and Rep. Donald C. Bruce R - Indianapolis, of the 11th. Each was elected first in 1960. Ten of the 11 are running for renomination in the May 5 primaries. Only Bruce is not. He chose to seek the U.S. Senate seat of Sen. Vance Hartke, a Democrat.
