Local Girl Gets 5-Year Grant To Study At Harvard
Miss Mary Beth Norton, 707 East Franklin Street, has been awarded a Five-Year Graduate Prize Fellowship at Harvard University to study toward the Ph. D. degree in the field of history. Because Miss Norton, who will graduate in May from the University of Michigan, had previously been named to a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship for next year, the first year of the Harvard fellowship will be hon-
orary.
The Prize Fellowships, which are being offered in 1964 for the first time, contemplate graduate students completing all requirements for the doctorate in five years. The plan includes colloquia and seminars in the first year, the general oral examination at the end the second year, and a three year period devoted to research, writing and teaching, with one of the three years completely free for preparation of the doctoral thesis. The normal stipend for these awards when the student is not teaching is $1,500 annually in addition to all tuition charges. During two of the last three years the Prize Fellows will do part-time teaching for which they will receive additional salary. If the dissertation subject requires it, the fellowship also provides for a year’s travel for research purposes. At the University of Michigan. Miss Norton was recently elected to Phi Kappa Phi, national scholastic honorary. As a junior she served as president of the independent women and as a member of the Student Governing Council, and she was selected for Phi Beta Kappa and Mortarboard. During the current year she has been one of the ten members on the national executive board of the National Student Association.

UPI — Merger talks among six major Protestant denominations were thrown into an uproar today by a statement from the Methodist delegation questioning whether the proposed union is feasible or even desirable. The confusion generated by the surprise Methodist statement was compounded by a decision of the Episcopal Church delegation to wait for at least three more years before seeking authorization from the denomination’s general convention to proceed with the drafting of an actual plan of union. 20 Years Ago The Soston Club met with Mrs. W. E. Edington. Carlos Lanzone received a letter from Robert Dean from somewhere in the Southwest
pacific.
The Putnam County Mothers Sendee Club met at the American Legion Home.
Win Top Rating In Music Event The Roachdale High School Band and Chorus both received a First Division rating in the State Music Contest at Lafayette last Saturday. The contest is sponsored by the Indiana School Music Association. Wall plaques were presented to the band and chorus and each member received a medal. The organizations entered Class C and performed three selections before a group of three judges who then rated them. The band performed “Thunder West", “Polyphonic Suite", and “Green Meadows". The choir sang “Praise the Lord His Glories Show.” “All In the April Evening.” and “Gonna Build A Mountain.” Glenda Purcell was the accompanist for the choir and John T. Wilson directed the groups. Judgement Won By 'Thrill Killer' CHICAGO UPI — Nathan Leopold, the brilliant "thrill killer" who helped commit one of the most sensational crimes of the century, Wednesday won a summary judgement in a $1.4 million invasion of privacy suit. J .dge Thomas E. Kluczynskt made the ruling and said the 5-year-old suit would be heard by a jury. Leopold's damage suit names 57 persons connected with the best selling novel “Compulsion” and the motion picture and stage play based upon the novel. Included were author Meyer Levin, publishers Simon and Schuster and Daryl F. Zanuck Produc-
tions.
Levin was one of a number of prominent persons who vigorously supported Leopold’s plea for commutation of his prison sentence for his part in the 1924 slaving of Bobby Franks, son of a Chicago millionaire. Leopold, 59. now is a baldish medical technician self-de-scribed as “a fat, middle-aged, throughly ordinary man.” He has lived in Puerto Rico since his release from prison in 1958. Period Of Crisis, Decision Seen An organization that reports on racial developments warned Wednesday that the next six months will be “packed with crisis and decision" for the na-
tion.
The Southern Regional Council said “every indication points to segregation protest activity of an extent and intensity without precedent, not only in the South but in the North as
well.”
The council said that whenever a racial crisis is allowed to develop and spill into the streets, violence results. Two leaders of civil rights forces in the Senate said Wednesday night that unruly demonstrations and protests which cause public hardship and inconvenience are hurting the civil rights cause in Con-
gress.
Sens. Hubert Humphrey, DMinn., and Thomas Kuchel, RCalif., said in joint statement ir Washington that "Civil wrongs do not bring civil rights. Civil disobedience does does not bring law and order.” At Hartford, Conn., Wednesday six Negro parents were turned away when they tried to register their children at a predominantly white public school. The parents said schools in the Negro district were inadequate.

Roudebush Welcomes GOP Women Delegates
WASHINGTON D. C. — Sixth District Congressman Richard L. Roudebush (R-Ind.), welcomed two Sixth District delegates to the 12th annual Republican Women’s Conference held recently in the nation’s capital. Mrs. Alice Soards, of Waynetown (left), and Mrs. Alice Mahoney (second from right! represented the Sixth District and the Republican meetings. Mrs. Roudebush is at right. Mrs. Soards is Montgomery County GOP Vice-Chairwoman and Mrs. Mahoney, 1136 S. Jackson Street of Greencastle. holds the same GOP post in Putnam County. The Conference was held April 7-11.
The blaze started Tuesday afternoon, shortly after a group of conservation w orkers making a camping area started a fire to burn leaves. Winds carried fiery sparks into brush and the
flames spread quickly.
All available firemen and volunteers in the area were rushed into service to control the flames. No buildings were destroyed and no injuries were
reported.
But the fire flared up again near a nursery. Inmates of juvenile youth camp at the game preserve also helped battle the flames. " " i im Tin mm n mi n n n i'i if~ mmmiiimmmiii
