Giles Rings Liberty Bell his Time

Unlike the curfew, the carillon bells in the Scottish Rite Cathedral, N. Meridian St., are expected to ring for many summer nights to come. Svdney Giles, Canadian musician who plays the bells, will not be deported from this country, he has learned. Informed this week by U. S. Immigration officials in Detroit that he had violated his temporary residence permit hy taking the bell-ringing job here, Mr. Giles made a special trip to Detroit to straighten things out. He was back in Indianapolis today, wreathed in smiles. It seems the immigration people got him mixed up with somebody else—anyhow, it's all right for him to stay. His present permit expires Oct. 15, but he plans to get a student's permit and remain here all winter.
