A Statement By Judge Hamilton The following statement was released to The Daily Banner late Friday afternoon by Putnam Circuit Court Judge Francis

N. Hamilton:

"Nine juveniles appeared in the Juvenile Division in the Putnam Circuit Court Friday afternoon concerning a fight which occurred in the alley last Friday evening, during the "Fair on the Square." From the evidence given before the Probation Officer and the Prosecuting Attorney, which was submitted to the Court in an informal petition, it appeared that the fight was an "agreed fight," to the knowledge of all of the boys, and in open court, each of the boys admitted this fact. It appeared to the Court that the "agreed fight" was arranged, with the knowledge of all of the boys, on the Court House lawn, and that the boys each voluntarily proceeded to the alley where the fight occurred, and that none of the boys were in any way coerced to proceed to the alley where the

fight occurred.

The Court handled the matter as an informal matter in Juvenile Court and Judge Hamilton warned all of the young men not to participate in affairs of this sort in the community. The Court continued the probation as to two of the juveniles and ordered two other juveniles to stay out of Putnam County at all times, except when accompanied by their parents, as these last two boys were not residents of Putnam County, and ordered three boys, who were not enrolled in school, to stay away from all school functions. The Court ordered the police of the City of Greencastle to pick up and lodge in the Putnam County jail any boys found violating the rules of their probation or on the streets after the hour of 7:00 o'clock P. M."

For a century we sent out to China our traders, missionaries, educators, doctors, our good will. We felt a special kinship with Chinese culture and people. Therefore is not strange that coupled with the daily headlines, this background means a tremendous interest in this area of the world. “Revolution in Modern China” is the topic chosen for study to begin the year’s programs in AAUW. The background for this fascinating study is to be given by DePauw’s far east expert, Dr. Clifton Phillips, on Tuesday evening, September 28, at the home of Mrs. Hugh Henry. Dr. Phillips became interested in the far east through studies for his doctor's dissertation. His bachelor’s degree was from Hiram College while his Master’s and Doctor's degrees were awarded by Harvard University. His most recent trip to the far east was in 1962 w r hen he spent the summer on Taiwan. Phillips has a wide range of interests touching on the area of American history. At the present time he is busy working on a history of Indiana for the Sesquicentennial. One of his hobbies has been square danc-

ing.

The president of AAUW. Mrs. Joe McCord, urges all members to come and bring a guest who is eligible. The meeting will be held at 8 p. m. and promises to be a lively and interesting one.

Now You Know

The most frequent cause of

fortifications only 20 miles north of Saigon. It was disclosed that other American planes dropped a million propaganda leaflets Friday for the first time on Haiphong. a big North Vietnamese seaport, telling the Communists that peace could be achieved if they stopped their aggression in South Viet Nam. The ground action near Saigon involved troops of the U. S. First Infantry Division —“The Big Red One” — who have been sweeping through the Tlnen Khnah Forest in a massive search-and-destroy mission. The infantrymen met patches of fierce resistance in the early stages of the sweep before the Viet Cong waded back into the jungle. One guerrilla bunker was bombed, strafed, shelled and stored at least three times before it was overrun.

To Debate Red China's Seating UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. UPI—The General Assembly ended its first week in session by agreeing without dissent to debate the question of seating Red China and adopting a record 105-item agenda. The 117-member world body also had before it today the policy statements of both the United States and the Soviet Union, with both powers presenting sweeping nuclear disarmament proposals. The General Assembly Friday adopted, despite Soviet objections. an Irish proposal to discuss the authorization and financing of peacekeeping operations. The Assembly also agreed to debate Communist China’s treatment of Tibet. The Tibeten question was put on the agenda by 41-26 vote, with 46 abstentions. Albanian Foreign Minister Behar Shtylla urged the assembly to vote down the item. He termed it a U.S. attempt to divert world public opinion from U.S. policy in Viet Nam. The abstainers included all Communist members plus France, the Scandinavian countries and Afro-Asians. There was no vote on the item adopting the Irish peacekeeping proposal. The item was included in a general topic providing for a comprehensive review of all U.N. peacekeeping operations. Soviet Ambassador Nikolai Fedorenko said the Soviet Union objected to the proposal because it would “undermine the powers of the Security Council and of the maintenance of peace and security.” It was the U.S. insistence— since withdrawn—at the outset of the 19th General Assembly that Russia. France and 10 other nations pay up peacekeeping assessments or lose their vote that led to a “d«v nothing ’ session.

The regular monthly meeting of the Putnam County Coin Club will be held this coming Tuesday evening at the Lions Club building at 7:30 p. m. Donald L. Foltz of Indianapolis will be the guest speaker. Mr. Foltz is a collector of Military Currency and is currently engaged in acquiring all known Military Payment Certificates.

Members are encouraged to register their auction material by 7:15 p. m. Prizes which have accumulated in the "Mystery Coin” contest include two foreign mint sets, assorted coin tubes and five Indian Head Cents. All members are invited and visitors are also welcome. Poverty Measure To White House WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson's $1.8 billion antipoverty bill was ready for his signature today. It doubled the amount appropriated last year. The House approved the bill on a 46-22 vote Friday, extending the program for one year and authorizing funds for the Job Corps, Community Action programs. Neighborhood Youth Corps and the Domestic Peace

Corps.

The measure, however, only authorized the expenditure. The cash must be provided in an appropriations bill. Included in the final version of the bill were limits on a governor's power to block locally initated Community Action and Neighborhood Youth Corps programs by permitting the office of equal opportunity to override gubernatorial vetoes. Three Republican senators, Winston L. Prouty. Vt.. George Murphy. Calif., and Peter H. Dominick, Colo., objected to omission of a provision which would have put employes in the Community Action and Domestic Peace Corps under the Hatch Act—the law that prohibits political activity by certain federal employes.
