Boy Freeloaded At Fair For 11 Days

NEW YORK <UPD-An adventuresome 12-y ear-old who freeloaded on the World’s Fair ground for 11 straight days had his plans to make a summer of it cut short Sunday by a sharpeyed exhibitor. Until then, Dominick Tucci had played a successful game of hide-and-seek with his parents and fair security police, sustained by his own initiative and the people who throw coins into fountains. Dominick, who sneaked onto Pair Os Accidents In City Saturday No injuries were suffered in a pair of weekend accidents in Decatur, according to the city police. Two autos were damaged at 10:35 a m. Saturday at the intersection of Monroe and Second streets. A car driven by Delota M. Engle, 78, of Monroe, was pulling from a parking space on the west side of Second street and she said her foot slipped from the brake to the gas pedal. The auto jumped forward and struck a vehicle operated by Lucille Coleda Schwartz. 45. of route 1. Berne, which was turning off Monroe onto Second street. Damages were estimated at $275 to the Bbhwartz car and S2OO to the Engle auto. At 3:31 p.m. Saturday, autos owned by Norvin Thieme, 28, route 5, Decatur, and Robert J. Drake, 296 Park Place, received damages estimated at S3O and sls respectively, in a minor mishan. Thieme was attempting to back into a parking space on the north side of 149 N. Second street, and the right front of his auto struck the left rear of the Drake vehicle which was parked in front of Thieme’s car. Charge Failure To Pav Parking Fine The city’s first parking meter arrest in some months has been slated to appear in city court next Monday morning, Judge John B. Stults said this morning.

the fairgrounds May 6, established his elusiveness beyond a doubt by remaining there day and night until Sunday — defying the best efforts of his parents and police to find him. They knew he was there. His ability to live off the land, so to speak, proved the blond seventh grader's enterprising nature. He ate well, slept comfortably and managed to come up with enough spending money to occupy his waking hours. Still Has Money In fact, he may prove to be one of the few fairgoers who left the grounds with as much money as he had when he arrived. Dominick’s springtime oddyssey ended Sunday when a concessionaire who had seen hi s picture in a newspaper noticed him in the flesh at one of the pavilions and alerted police. They telephoned his parents, Mr . and Mrs. Benito Tucci. The boy’s much relieved mother said he is “adventuresome, . but not a bad boy.” Dominick set out for the fair from his home in Port Washington, in suburban Long Island, on May 6 after his parents told him they would not visit the fair until next fall. He used the last of his money for train fare. How did Dominick live during the 11 days and 10 nights he spent on the fairgrounds? For money, he spent the predawn hours each day retrieving the coins people had thrown into wishing - well fountains at the Bell Telephone Co. exhibit and other pavilions. Ate Hamburgers “Sometimes I got as much as five dollars,” he said. “I ate hamburgers and had sodas. Except last Friday I had chow mein.” „ The 4 - foot, 8 - inch 'BO- - youngster, who had become known to police as “The Phantom of the Fair,” spent four nights in the dark and empty Continental Insurance Co.- pavilion, and other nights in the Coca Cola, African and Johnson's Wax pavilions. Was he afraid? “There’s nothing to be afraid of,” he said. “The fair is crawling with cops.” Dominick said he planned to stay the entire summer at the fair. But his mother has other plans for him. She brought a clean set of clothing for him, then hustled him home.

Khrushchev In Formal Talks With Nasser CAIRO (UPI) — Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev met with U.A.R. President Gamal Abdel Nasser in formal talks today amid published speculation that their discussions could result in withdrawal of Soviet recognition of Israel. Nasser kept Khrushchev waiting for nearly two hours today before beginning the talks. The Soviet leader, tired by his visit to the Aswan Dam in 100-de-gree heat, had cancelled a scheduled visit to a Westernbuilt steel mill in order to start the talks. It was believed the SovietU.A.R. talks could be complicated as a result of a Khrushchev speech Sunday in which he downgraded the Arab unity theme. Today’s talks were the second formal discussions between Nasser and Khrushchev since the Soviet leader began his 16day visit here. The 70-year-old communist leader and Nasser returned to Cairo Sunday night after carrying out a heavy ceremonial schedule at the Aswan Dam where temperatures hovered around 100 degrees. The billion dollar hydroelectric and irrigation project is being built with Soviet help. Khrushchev had planned to make a trip this morning to the big iron and steel mill at Helwan, which was built with Western aid, but he called off the visit. A Soviet source said the premier was tired and wanted to rest and prepare for his talks with Nasser. In a ceremony Saturday marking completion of the first stage of the Aswan Dam, Khrushchev urged the Egyptians to forget Arab unity—a cherished goal of Nasser’s—and to seek a. wide unity with the. working class beyond the Arab world. Observers said Khrushchev’s statements at Aswan implied an attack on Nasser's policy of non-alignment. Such a position has brought resentment here in the past When taken by others.

Witness Ordered Return To Stand CHICAGO (UPl)’— A Florida real estate developer was ordered back to the witness stand in the $25 million fraud trial of Teamster President James Hoffa today to clear up discrepancies in his previous testimony. Stanton D. Sanson of Bal Harbor, Fla., was the government’s first major witness when testimony started last week. U. S. District Judge Richard B. Austin granted Sanson leave to attend a function in Colombia late in the week. But Sanson, who testified about his attempts to obtain a loan from the Teamsters Union pension funds, was ordered to appear again today with his files and records of negotiations with the defendants. Hoffa and seven associates are charged with fraudulent-. ly obtaining the $25 million in loans from the central, southwest and southeast conferences of the union pension fund and pocketing more than $1 million of the amount themselves. All have pleaded innocent. Sanson faced additional cross examination on discrepancies between his testimony last Tuesday and an affidavit he gave to investigators for the Senate Rackets Committee June 29, 1959. The real estate developer said the discrepancies were questions of dates and blamed the lapse on a lack of access to his own records when rackets committee investigators questioned him at a hospital where he was being treated for a heart ailment.

Recent federal legislation, he noted, is directed toward establishing cooperative road planning among the federal, state, city and county road departments. Hittie observed that the fouryear county road plan, effected in recent state legislation concerning Indiana county highway

departments, will be particularly helpful to county road officials in budgeting the county highway funds.

Representatives from the state board of accounts reviewed progress and problems of keeping cost records on county highway department operations with county highway supervisors and bookkeepers. Die cost records are required by state legislation passed in 1961 and will supplement and assist die overall county road planning programs. Die road meeting was conducted under the sponsorship of HERPIC, established five years ago: at Purdue. •
