Fall Harvesting Conditions Better LAFAYETTE UPI — Purdue University agricultural statistician Robert E. Straszheim said Monday that conditions improved for fall harvesting operations in Indiana last week, and a weed-killing frost brought the tomato harvest nearer completion. Topsoils became drier as the week progressed,” Straszheim said in his weekly crop report, "and a weed-killing frost during the week combined to allow soybean harvesting to progress more rapidly. A total of 6 days were considered favorable for field work.’” He said topsoil moisture dropped to a rating of adequate by the weekend, while subsoil moisture showed little change from a week earlier and was rated as short to mostly adequate. Pastures declined to mostly fair conditions during the week. "Corn harvesting is progressing at approximately the same rate as a year earlier and average,” he said. "About 10 per cent of the crop has been harvested.” Straszheim reported that soybean combining moved along more rapidly last week with 40 per cent of the crop harvested compared with the 1965 rate of 80 per cent. He said this was still well behind the 5-year average of 60 per cent by this date. "The seeding of winter wheat continues on par with a year earlier with 45 per cent of the crop seeded,” he said. "However, the 6-year average is 60 per cent and in 1964 over 75 per cent of the crop had been seeded by this date. Only 10 per cent of the wheat crop is up to stands which is behind the 20 per cent last year and the usual of 25 per cent He said the sorghum grain harvest is considered 25 per cent complete compared with 20 per cent a year ago and 45 per cent for the average. Apples were 60 per cent picked compared to the 70 per cent average. Straszheim said the tobacco harvest was continuing at the end of the week, well beyond the usual date of completion. Court Refuses To Hear Appeal WASHINGTON UPI — The Supreme Court refused today to head an appeal by an Indiana man’s widow who brought a damage suit against General Motors Corp. after he was killed in an atuo accident. The accident let stand lower federal court decisions which dismissed the claims against GM by Mrs. Barbara F. Evans. Mrs. Evans — mother of four children — sought to sue General Motors because her husband was driving a 1961 Chevrolet station wagon at the time of his fatal accident. She contended that the auto firm was responsible because of negligence in the design of the car and charged GM failed to test the design and did not afford a "reasonable amount of safety to the decedent in the event of a collision.” A federal district judge dismissed her suit without permitting it to go to a jury. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with one judge objecting.

ANNIVERSARY Guy Clayton Brewster, 3 years old, October 11. Gary Stephens, 24 years today Oct. 11th. Petition Refused By State Court INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The Indiana Supreme Court Monday refused a petition seeking authorization to file a belated appeal in an Indianapolis slaying. Richard Jewell Newland, an Indianapolis apartment house manager, had sought to file an appeal from a 2-21 year manslaughter sentence imposed for the death of a woman during a quarrel. He claimed that he was unable to file an appeal within the allotted time because

of illness.

However, the high court said Newland had failed to show “sufficient cause for delay.” Newland claimed in his petition that he was “repelling the invasion of the deceased at the time of the shooting.” The victim was the mother of a boy whose arrest came about when the apartment house manager reported him to police.
