WILLIAM C. ERBECKER William C. Erbecker, local criminal attorney for more than 20 years and a former city prosecutor, recently filed as a candidate for state senator on the Democratic ticket in the May primary. Mr. Erbecker is a staunch advocate of civil rights and is currently appealing to the Indiana Supreme Court the case of Will Andrews, an Alabama sharecropper whose return Alabama officials seek in connection with the alleged rape of a white woman. Andrews’ original bid for freedom was denied in Criminal Court 2. HE IS ALSO the author of a proposed rehabilitation program for juvenile first effenders. Under the Erbecker plan, juvenile first offenders wolld be incarcerated in a rehabilitation center void of

provided.

The criminal record of the juvenile first offender would also be erased under the plan if his conduct and demeanor so merited, permitting the juvenile to return to

normal family routine without the j

stigma of the label “ex-con.” Mr. Erbecker feels that it is vital-

ly important to forcibly impress :

upon the parents of teenagers the in gent necessity of able assistance for understanding and safeguarding America’s youth — this, regardless of his defeat or victory at

the polls, is the most important j

cf his aspirations.

In commenting on his announced candidacy, Erbecker, who maintains offices in the Mansur Bldg., 312 E. Washington, said, "If nominated and elected state senator from Marion County, I shall represent all of the people — not a select few. Bigotry and race discrimination have no part in my p ogram for the voters

William Ridley Ends Long Career In Posi'al Service William Ridley retired Feb. 25. completing a 39-year service career with the federal government. Appointed to the custodian force on April 6, 1920. under the U. S. Treasury Department, he was transferred to the Post Office Department in 1932 and to General Services Administration in 1950. While working in these services he served as fireman, electrician, plumber, foreman of laborers and elevator operator. In his many years of employment for the government he had never been late for work. HIS ENTHUSIASTIC interest in the U. S. Post Office and Courthouse Building was well known. He recalled many interesting facts jabout the building because his father, Henry Ridley, and his uncle, a namesake, Bill Ridley, worked on the building during the construction period from 1902 to 1905. There is an interesting story about the beautiful curved stairs at the East and also the West ends of the building. There stairs. Bill recalls, were designed by a prisoner from Michigan City, who also supervised the construction. For rendering this service the prisoner received a pardon. The unique feature of the staircase lies in the fact that they arc self-sup-porting, extending from the main floor to the third floor. "Bill’ was born in Nashville, Tcnn. He came to Indianapolis with his parents in his early childhood. 11c attended school in Indianapolis and has many interests in church and fraternql organizations. He is .-m honorary member of Waterford Lodge No. 13, F&A.M., Scottish Rite and Persian Temple No. 46. and a superintendent of fl'e Grand Body, Sisters of Charity

lie was married in 1929 to Helen Baber and together they have been active in many activities of the above named organizations. He is a member of Corinthian Baptist

Church.

HE IS A BASS singer in the ■ hurch choir and is well known in the Federal Building for his deep, rich tone when he vsings in the federal Employees Choir as they tour the building during Christmas. Mr Ridley retires from his job carrying with him sincere wishes for a long and happy retirement from his many friends and assbciates. A reception was given in his honor at which time he received many gifts from his co-workers. He is an avid reader and plans to spend much of his leisure

enjoying this hobby.

There were two other white youths, also masked, in the front seat of the car, Turner said. The pair in the back seat gagged him and beat him with chains when he struggled to free himself as the car sped to a remote wooded area. When the car stopped, Turner related as he displayed the six neat Ks for news cameramen, one of the masked youths was posted as a lookout and the other three tied him up and hung him from a tree by his ankles He was again beaten with chains and ropes. Turner said, then the trio cut off his jacket and shirt and scratched the Klan initials on his stomach and chest with a knife. "WE WERE HIRED to get a nigger,” Turner quoted the masked youths as telling him, because of publicity Texas Southern Negro students were receiving due to the lunch counter demonstrations. Turner told police he pretended to pass out when the youths started carving on him and when they left he freed himself and staggered to a nearby night-watchman’s shack and phoned for help. “I wasn’t knocked out but I wanted them to think so,” Turner related. In addition to the Ks carved on his body. Turner suffered one bad cut on his head, and bruises and minor cuts on the lips, right shoulder and across the chest, a doctor at the hospital where he was treated said.

CAP’N JOHN’S - JUST HEAT A EAT

Surprise your teen-agers with an after-school snack of freshly baked cheese-date-bran bread sandwiches and milk. This wholesome snack helps to meet the daily food needs of active teen-agers, by making a positive nutritional contribution instead of providing empty calories — so typical of many snacks. This snack combines foods from three of the four food groups (cereals, milk, and fruit) recommended in the U. S. Department of Agriculture pamphlet “Essentials of an Adequate Diet.” During April the Cereal Institute and the American Dairy Association join in the Seventh Annual Spring Cereal and Milk Festival to promote the nutritional value of cereal and milk. The cereal and milk serving, or the ingredient use of this valuable team, can make a worthwhile contribution towards making up some of the inadequacies of teen-age diets. Cheese-Date-Bran Bread 2 Vi cups flour Vi cup chopped dates V2 cup sugar 1 y 4 cups milk 3 l /2 teaspoons baking powder 1 egg.ibeaten 1 teaspoon salt Vi cup melted fat 1 cup shredded I cup whole bran cereal American process cheese Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into bowl. Add cheese and dates. Combine milk, egg, and slightly cooled fat. Add to dry ingredients and stir only until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in cereal, being careful not to overmix. Pour into well-greased loaf pan (8Vi x 4Vi x 2Vi inches) and bake in moderate oven (350°F) until done, about 50 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes and turn out on rack to finish cooling. Yield: 1 loaf.
