Clergy. The devotions prove to be food for thought. But, why oppose this Easter thought with "Shopping Days 'til Easter?"

Please, in remembrance of Him, let us have Easter as a spiritual time given to glorify the wonder of a living Christ Jo Ann Zoss Help Youth Dear Mr. Editor. In behalf of the fifteen year old youth, who needed sh»es to go to school and a place to call home, I think the warm hearted people of Adams county should open their hearts and give as much to him as to the deported people overseas. If he hasn’t any home or a mother to go too. I know that someone here needs him as much as he needs them. This should not have happened in a county as Adams.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Final Witness Testifies At Ruby's Trial DALLAS (UPD — The final witness at Jack Ruby’s murder trial testified today that the slayer suffers a “particular, very rare", non-convulsive type of epilepsy. Dr. Frederick A. Gibbs of Chicago, whose theories were challenged in advance by prosecution psychiatrists, testified for the defense after a lastminute midnight flight here as the trial approached its Friday the 13th date with the jury. Backing the defense contention that Ruby was in a “spell” and not responsible when he shot Lee Harvey Oswald, the tall, craggy - faced physician said: , “Ruby has a particular, very rare type of epilepsy—one that does not manifest itself in convulsive seizures, but in other ways.” Gibbs was the 66th and last witness at the trial now ending its fourth week. Prosecution psychiatrists had denied that the electroencephalogram (brain wave) tests administered to the 52-year-old nightclub owner indicated serious abnomality. They rejected the contention that Ruby suffers from psychomotor epilepsy causing “blackouts.” Chief defense attorney Melvin Belli asked Gibbs whether the ailment showed up clearly on the brain wave tracings. “It was clear.” Gibbs replied in a deep, clam voice. Ruby. looking more tense than usual, walked jnto court and gave an affectionate glance at his sister Mrs. Eileen Kaminsky of Chicago, who sat in the spectator section. Gibbs, a neurologist of the University of Illinois School of Medicine, responded to an urgent call from defense attorney Joe H. Tonahill TTiursday afternoon and assented to come and testify—whereas he previously had refused on the ground that he didn’t believe medical knowledge should be batted about in an adversary proceeding. He is a brain-wave specialist who believes that Ruby’s skullbarsts of electricity as showfo on the encepbalograph recordings were of the “psycholomotor variant” type of abnormality. That is a phrase invented by Gibbs after prodigious brainwave . research Even as Tonahill triumphantly announced in court that he was coming to testify, another brain wave expert was testifying for the state that Gibbs’ “variant” was not necessarily abnormal. But all this was scheduled to fade during the afternoon hours before a forensix display of thundering folksiness and ardent scientific pleading by opposing attorneys. This was to be preceded by a short charge to the • jury by Judge Joe B. Brown. The summations by state and defense were scheduled to last four hours —with the state opening the arguments and closing them. When Dist. Atty. Henry M. Wade sums up finally for the state with a plea that the slayer of President Kennedy’s accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, be sentenced to death, the jury will trudge up 19 steps behind the judge’s bench to the deliberation room. President Johnson Visits MacArthur WASHINGTON (UPD—President Johnson paid an unannounced call on ailing Gen. Douglas MacArthur today at Walter Reed Medical Center. The visit was supposed to be secret, but word got around the hospital and more than 300 per—sons were wai tin gto cheer and applaud the President when he arrived at 1115 a. m. EST. Johnson was driven to the back entrance of the hospital’s ogeast wing, which includes the third - floor “Ward 8" where MacArthur underwent an ..operation a week ago. — - One of the presidential attendants was carrying a boquet of flowers for the 84-year-old war hero. MacArthur is convalescing from the operation and is expected to be able to return to his New York home -in less than_a month. At the time of the operation, doctors thought he might have cancer but the surgery disclosed no evidence of the malignancy. they said His gall bladder and a number of gallstones were removed, however, to alleviate what was described as obstructive jaundice. Johnson, carrying his coat, smiled broadly as he stepi>ed from his limousine. He was greeted by Brig. Gen' H. S, ... Murphey. director . of—the- Army-, medical facility.

E'* '*' A J ■ W' W r‘Hr'■ The Promotion of Richard C. Shura to the position of manager of the grain department at Central Soya’s Decatur plant, has been announced by Sam E. Hunt, vice president. Shura joined Central Soya in 1957 as an accountant at the Decatur location. In 1963 he was promoted to assistant manager of the grain department at Decatur, and held this position prior to his promotion. A graduate of International Business College, Fort Wayne, Shura received a BSC degree in accounting in 1956. Properly Owners Favored By Court INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—The Indiana Supreme Court, in a .ruling which could affect highway projects all over the state, ruled Thursday that property owners are entitled to damages if a new highway cuts off their access to their land. The court upheld a Marion Circuit Court decision ■ awarding $87,000’ to a group of persons who own land adjacent to the Madison Avenue Expressway here. It also awarded them $31,639 in interest from the time the state originally took possession of the property some six years ago. The state had contended that the property owners were not entitled to damages because their land was not actually taken for the highway. The high court held, however, in an opinion written by Chief Justice Frederick Landis, that “an abutting property owner’s easement of ingress and egress to and from a public highway is a property right which cannot be cut off or taken away without just compensation.” The court also denied the state’s contentions that it was immune from legal action in the case and that the Eminent Domain Act of 1945 under which the action was brought was unconstitutional. Several other similar cases involving the same highway are still pending before the courts and the decision is expected to bring more such suits. Gospel Crusaders To Present Program The Gospel Crusaders will present a musical program at the Mt. Pleasant Methodist church, two miles west and three miles north of Decatur, Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Pictures of Japan will also be shown. The public is invited to this program.

Fail In Attempt To Rocket Tiny Lab CAPE KENNEDY (UPD — The United States today failed in an attempt to rocket a tiny gold-plated laboratory 23,000 miles into space’to learn more about the earth’s magnetic field. The Air Force said the upper -stage of the four-stage Blue Scout Jr. rocket failed to ignite as it climbed into space several hundred miles above earth and about 2,000 miles downrange. Preliminary data indicated that the 33-pound payload separated from the dead rocket and “some usable information was received,” the Air Force said. The probe was fired into the pioar blue skv at 6:40 a. m. EST. The first few minutes of iught appeared normal and its long white trail of smoke and vapor was seen for about four minutes. Scientists said the shot’s primary purpose was to find out what happens when charged particles come streaming in from the sun and collide with the outer fringes of earth's magnetic field.

Civil Rights Heads Shocked By Advice

NEW YORK (UPD—National civil rights leaders were shocked almost to disbelief today by the advice of militant Negro leader Malcolm X that Negroes should form “rifle clubs.” Most said they agreed that the break-away leader of the Black Muslim movement could endanger civil rights progress and domestic peace with his urging that Negroes begin to “fight back in self defense." “I can’t believe he’s serious,” said James Farmer, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). He said that to unleash such violence could be “ultimately suicidal.” Malcolm Thursday opened formally his announced campaign to organize a politically oriented black-nationalist movement. “There will be more violence than ever this year,” he said at a news conference in a hotel here.” Will Shock Whites “White people will be shocked when they discover that the passive little Negro they had known turns out to be a roaring lion. The whites had better understand this while there is still time,”, he said. The national office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) announced that “as of the moment there is no official comment” on Malcolm’s remarks. Malcolm broke with the Black Muslim movement officially last Sunday to form his “Black Nationalist Party/ 1 The Muslims had ordered him to make no public statements since last December because he mocked the assassination of President Kennedy. Most of the Negro leaders agreed that there was a faction among Negro Americans who would be appealed to through suggestions ■ and predictions such as Malcolm’s. But they seemed confident that it would not be large enough to alter the generally non-violent civil rights campaign now being waged. “Os course predictions of violence sometimes become selffulfilling prophecies,” said CORE Director Farmer. “But X needs to explain what he means by self defense. He says people have a right to shoot at

dogs set to attack them. Behind every dog is a policeman. Does he mean using guns against the police?” •‘Utterly Foolish" “If he does,” Farmer continued, "he is asking for race war which can only end in anguish for the nation. It is utterly foolish- In a race war we simply would not have a chance of victory.” Malcolm told reporters Thursday that his new title would be “Brother Malcolm” and that “jealousy” of his national reputation within the Muslim movement was the real reason for his ouster. Then he turned his attention to the current civil rights drive and charged “it is dangerous and criminal for Negro leaders to stress the nonviolent approach.” “Negroes must be taught how to defend themselves under attack. They must be taught how to use rifles and shotguns,” he said, and added with a smile. “It is legal and lawful to own a shotgun or a rifle. We believe in obeying the law.” Root Roving Rangers Monday evening, the Root Roving Rangers held their first meeting with the Senior Merry Maids. The meeting was opened by William Journay.
