Wallace Releases Alabama Delegates MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UPI) —Gov. George Wallace, declining to play a “favorite son” role, Wednesday night released Alabama’s delegates to the Democratic National Convention from supporting him for president. The 38-member delegation voted unanimously to invite convention delegations ’from 13 other southern and border states to meet Sunday, Aug. 23, prior to the convention in n Atlantic City, N.J., to map plans to fight for a platform favorable to Dixie. Wallace’s release came as no surprise at the organizational meeting of the delegation, but the governor cautioned the delegates to stick together and present a united front. “Alabama has helped awake the nation in the past few months and I think we should be united at the convention,” he told them. The unity theme was the basis used by James Kahalley of Mobile who suggested the pre-convention* caucus- of states in the old confederacy. Kahalley was picked by Wallace fora convention committee appointment. The delegates came close to a showdown split in their first session over the election of a permanent chairman, but Wallace forces pushed Bessemer Mayor Jess Lanier into the job after stopping a bid by National Democratic Committeeman Eugene (Bull) Connor, former Birmingham police chief. In his brief talk before the delegation, Wallace said his presidential campaign “sent a message that will be heeded by most national parties. I have accomplished my mission.”

Their decision came a week to the day after Judge Carl Weinman of U.S. District Court in Dayton ordered the former osteopath’s release on SIO,OOO bond and his retrial within 60 days or outright release, contending his constitutional rights were violated during the trial. The appellate judges said , they would take up the question of whether he returns to the Ohio penitentiary at i Columbus, where he was freed a week ago today on a writ of habeas corpus, or gets a new trial “on its merits in the near future.” No date for the hearing was — set.-- . . Sheppard told newsmen he had discussed the possible killer of his wife with his attorneys. He said among those discussed were two men now in prison, but that he had no leads or information he could disclose. Throughout his trial in 1954, Sheppard insisted a bushyhaired man killed his wife.

(UPI) — A new Wisconsin Agriculture Department machine is protecting state health by uncovering insecticide residue in milk, but it’s thratening to put alreadypinched dairy farmers out of business. Last week two cases of DDT ■residue in milk were reported, and the department promptly banned the milk from market pending further tests. Wednesday the Milwaukee Health Department confirmed that three more cases were found. The producers involved are Fred Kelln, Neil .Willson and Richard Sauter, all of Palmyra and Charles Anderson and Gerald Nease, both of Waterloo. All but Sauter ship for the Milwaukee market. Sauter produces for the Chicago market. State law forbids any.. adulteration of milk, so the farmers are dumping thousands of pounds of milk daily while they wait—and hope—for their milk to be cleared again. Meanwhile bills are mounting and hope for help from the government is dwindling. They are losing an average of S4O to S6O gross a day. “We can’t sell these cattle or the milk and we have the same work load that we had before, but we’ve got no income now,” said Sauter, whose 40 head produce about 1,100 pounds of milk daily. Donald Raffel, *■ director of dairy inspection for the Agriculture Department, said Wednesday three of the cases involved only borderline danJames Holla Case Is Near To Jury CHICAGO (UPI) — The federal government's second attempt this year to send Teamster Union President James R. Hoffa to prison appeared headed for the jury today. Attorneys for Hoffa and one of the other six co-defendants in the $25 million pension fund fraud trial still have to present their closing arguments before U.S. District Court Judge Richard B. Austin gives his final instructions to the jurors. Hoffa pored over transcrips of the marathon trial Wednesday night while his attorneys met to put the finishing touches on their closing argument. The Teamster leader and six othe men are charged by the 'government with fraudulently obtaining $25 million from union pension funds and diverting $1.7 million of the amount ,r 4nto their own pocket*. Defense attorney Charles Bellows charged Wednesday that the government's case was based on perjury. He said one prosecution witness lied ‘‘to get everi” with his client, Calvin Kovens, and Hoffa while another witness “went yellow” and testified for the government because he feared possible indictment. “There's a stench about this prosecution,” Bellows told the jurors. "It’s an unbelievable prosecution. All through history there is perjury, perjury, perjury, and we have perjury here.” expected to be turned on in Berne early next week. The new lights are being installed in the Berne business district by the City of Berne and the Indiana and Michigan Electric company.

The grandparents are Mrs. Helen Lengerich and Mr. and Mrs. George Klausing, Lima, O. ger. But Willson said Raffel had told him it might take three to six months to relieve the situation. Tha might be too long, Willson said. “I’m working at another job already,” he said. “Wherever I can get work by the day. . .on construrtion work .. . road work." No one seems to know just what is causing the problem. One theory, advanced by some state officials, is that the contamination comes from silage made from forage after corn is picked. The farmers said they were told DDT might be stored in the fat of the cattle. But Willson said, "they can’t give us any answers."
