Demand Probe Into Granting Bank Charter WASHINGTON (UPD-—A Republican congressman today demanded an investigation into charges that “political influence of the highest degree” surrounded the granting of a federal charter to a bank in which Bobby Baker was an original subscriber. Rep. Oliver P. Bolton, ROhio, formally requested the House Banking and Currency Committee to investigate the granting o's the charter in 1962 to the District of Columbia National Bank here. Baker, along with many other prominent people in Washington, subscribed for stock in the bank before the charter was granted. It was the First National Bank chartered in the nation’s capital in 29 years. Among the stockholders on the original listing were Sen. John J. . Sparkman. D-Ala., sec o n d-ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee; the wife of Rep. Abraham Multer, D-N. Y., a member of the House Banking Committee; and four Alabama congressmen. Bolton demanded the investigation during •'■ press conference. The Ohio congressman said he was ; not convinced that the nearly five month old investigation into Baker's affairs by the Senate Rules Committee was searching enough to provide the background for meaningful legislation — at least in certain areas.

School Girl Hurl When Hil By Bullet SOUTHPORT. Ind. (UPD— Debra Eaton, 11, was wounded in the thigh during lunch recess at Southport Elementary School Wednesday by a shot authorities said was fired aimlessly out a window by a bored boy. The girl was taken to St. Francis Hospital at Beech Grove in fair condition. The rifle bullet passed through the flesh without hitting a bone, doctors said. Marion County sheriff’s deputies searching the neighborhood for the source of the mystery shot found a rifle with a four-power telescopic sight in a gun rack at a nearby house. A 14-year-old junior high school boy who said he stayed home from school because he didn’t feel well admitted firing a shot out the window but insisted he had no intention of hitting anyone. Charges were filed under the delinquency act against the boy and he was scheduled to appear in Juvenile Court today. Authorities - said shots had been fired through windows of the school about a month ago at a time when classes were not in session. Enjoins Rail Unions From Calling Strike REDWOOD, Calif. (UPD—A San Mateo County Superior Court judge handed down a nine-day injunction Wednesday night against five railway operating unions to restrain them from calling a • strike against Southern "Pacific Ra ilroad—despite persistent denials that such action was planned. Southern Pacific obtained the injunction from Judge. James T. O’Keefe shortly after a railroad spokesman in Washington charged that the unions were threatening to touch off a nationwide walkout at midnight by striking SP. The order was filed on the general chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, the Order of Railroad Conductors and Brakemen, the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Switchmen’s Union of North America. Local officers of the uniqn were not immediately available for comment, but at Cleveland, Ohio, a spokesman for the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen! denied that any strike deadline had been set. He said the unions simply asked that Southern Pacific reply to union demands by 12:01 a.m. local time today but did not say a strike would be called if no answer were received. Another Cleveland spokesman, representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, said “We have not discussed a strike, and we have not issued any authority for a strike.” The Labor Department backed up the denials of theunions. Expect High Court To Review Battle INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana Supreme Court is expected to review informally the Indiana Senate reapportionment battle which has State Sen. Kenneth Reagin, D-Croy, at loggerheads with the Indiana Election Board. Reagin and attorney Donald Fasig conferred Wednesday with Governor Welsh, chairman of the Election Board, -after learning that the board apparently, planned to go directly to ' the Supfem£-’.Court tn an effort to block Clay Circuit Judge Robert Stewart from hearing a suit which Reagin filed against the board. Reagin is seeking to overturn a ruling by the board which has the effect of preventing him from running for re-election until 1966. The board held that Reagin’s district should be represented by holdover Sen. Dewey Annakin, D-Terre Haute, although Annakin does not live in the district. Annakin was elected to a four-year term in 1962 but his district was abolished by a reapportionment plan passed by the 1963 Legislature and vetoed by Welsh. The Supreme Court revived the plan last month by ruling that, Welsh had waited too long to veto it. Reagin , and Fasig learned that James E. Noland, the other Democratic member of the Election Board, had written a letter authorizing Indiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers to seek a mandate from the Supreme Court 'against Stewart. Fasig said Wednesday he and Stewart expected to sit in on an informal conference with the high court next Monday.

Police Break Up Race Melee At Truck Stop By United Press International Police stepped in Wednesday night to break up a rock-throw-ing melee at a white-only truck stop in Atlanta — the target of previous demonstrations by Negroes. Authorities estimated thpt a crowd of about 300 Negroes swarmed around Daniel’s Truck Stop, located in the heart of the Negro section of town. Eighteen were arrested and jailed on charges of disorderly conduct. One policeman was bruised when he was struck on the knee by a flying bottle. It was the third night of demonstrations at the lunch counter which serves Negro customers through a small window in the rear of the building and the first to result in violence. Henry Daniel, operator of the truck stop, said the rock-throw-ing came after some 25 Negroes entered the establishment. He said he told them to leave and they went outside and began marching in the street and singing “freedom songs.” A crowd of other Negroes began gathering and rocks started flying with both whites and Negroes exchanging volleys. Police moved in and arrested demonstrators who attempted to block patrol cars and four others who had re-entered the truck stop and refused to leave. Elsewhere: Athens, Ga.: Two Negro policemen arrested 22 demonstrators Wednesday night at a restaurant patronized primarily by University of Georgia students. Police said the group sat down in front of a counter when they were refused service. Frankfort, Ky-: One of 31 civil rights demonstrators staging a sit-in hunger strike in the gallery of the Kentucky House of Representatives . lost consciousness Wednesday and was taken to a hospital.

Jackson, A legislator Wednesday criticized a faculty group at the University of Mississippi for actions during the 1962 integration crises. State Sen. W.M. Jones was especially critical of reports that faculty patrols were set up at night to look for student troublemakers in a speech to the Senate. Also Jackson: Former Gov. Ross Barnett said Alabama Gov. George Wallace is “fighting our battles” against civil rights and urged Mississippians to lend financial support.

'Bomber Bonfire' Is Rejected By Russia j GENEVA (UPD — The United States dffered today to destroy more than $1 billion worth of 847 jet bombers if Russia will scrap a Comparable number of its TUl6s. Soviet disarmament neogtiator Semyon K. Tsarapkin immediately rejected the proposal, saying auch a “bomber bonfire” would not represent real disarmament. Tsarapkin charged the proposal was “a Pentagon plan” to replace old bombers with new ones such as the 2.000-mile per hotfr A-11. American negotiator Adrian S. Fisher rejected this charge. He told the 17-nation disarmament conference that Moscow’s count-er-proposal for the destruction of all bomber aircraft in the world would upset the balance of military power by leaving some nonnuclear , nations without any means of defense. Indiana Man Dies Os Farm Injuries EVANSVILLE, Ind. (UPD — Howard Williams, 55, a Gibson County farmer near Owensville, died at Welborn Baptist Hospital here today from injuries suffered Saturday when his clothing caught in a power takeoff shaft of a tractor as he prepared . a hotbed for planting.

Farmers Os Indiana To Plant More Corn WASHINGTON (UPD—In contrast to the national estimate, Indiana farmers are expected to plant 2 per cent more acreage In corn this year than they did in 1963. The Agriculture Department Wednesday estimated the Indiana corn acreage for 1964 at 4,889,000 acres compared with 4,793,000 acres last year. The national estimate • forecast a drop of 1.7 per cent from 1963. Among the 10 top corn producing states, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan also had higher estimates while South Dakota and Wisconsin were unchanged and lowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Minnesota were down. The department said the estimates were designed to assist growers generally in making such further changes in their acreage plans as may be desirable. it said acreage actually planted may be larger or smaller than estimated because of weather conditions, price changes, labor supply, financial conditions, the agricultural program and the effect of the current report itself on farmers' actions. The Crop Reporting Board said that with average yields the national acreage of 68,867,060 acres would produce about 4,055,000,000 bushels of corn for grain compared with last year’s record 4,081,395,000 bushels. Kizer Urges Voters Reelect Democrats By United Press International State Sen. Marshall F. Kizer of Plymouth today urged Indiana voters to forgive • the Democrats in the 1963 Legislature who voted for the sales tax and reelect them this year. Kizer said at a news conference featuring political activity among 14 candidates for governor that “I for one am ready to defend everv Democrat who served in the last legislature and in the present administration.” He said he has failed to find in his campaign travels any party officials “who will state publicly that Governor Welsh and the 68 Democrats in the legislature should be purged from our party just because we upheld the principles of the party and did what we could to stop the ridiculous Republican tax mess that we now find ourselves in.” Kizer criticized, without naming names, those Democrats he said had been “giving lip service to this nonsense” about cold-shouldering legislators who supported the sales tax bill and helped enact it into law last spring. ■>' “The Democrats who voted for the sales tax program did so because otherwise there was not going to be any tax program,” Kizer said. “I suppose if it came to the place of saving the state or not voting for the sales tax, I would have voted for it, too.”
