There's a mighty interesting pro-
ject being sponsored by the Ju-
venile Council at the present time
-- an Avaluation of comic books.
You might have noticed Dick Hun
ter's column on the subject yes
terday. Maybe l can add a little
more information.
There is a strong feeling amonst
members of the Juvenile Council
that certain type comic books are
contributing factor toward ju-
venile delinquency. Not all comic
books, mind you, but just those
which tend to paint pretty pictures
of crime, those which display per-
yerted ideas Of sexual nature,
and the ones that produce nothing
more than a morbid outlook on life
within the minds of the readers.
No member Of the Council could
be described as a vice crusader.
The entire outfit is composed of
men and women who nave lived
life and realize that there must be
a certain amount of frivolity and
harmless pleasure to relieve the
pressure of everyday events -
even in the life of a youngSter.
However the discussing trash which
is distributed under the label Of
comics" in many instances hard
ly comes under the heading Of
harmless.
Joan Knowles, KWHS senior,
spanked the Council into activity
when she related how teen-agerS at
Northwestern University felt about
the subject of immoral literature.
Poor Joan has received quite a bit
of publicity since her talk to the
Council and she begged me not to
use her name anymore. I can't ae-
comodate her because her action
has led to news-worthy events
events which are bigger than
Joan'S personal feelings in the mat
ter, Someday perhaps, Miss Know
les will get used TO seeing her
name in the paper and realize that
newspapermen don't have a heart
when there's a story to be told.

Judge Threatens 6-Day Week
As Sheppard Trial Drags On

terms as "splintered 6ones,"
"split skull" and layers of bone"
The jurors divided their atten.
ton between the witness on the
stand and the defendant. Once.
several turned their heads away
quickly as Sheppard looked up and
faced them with misery in his
eyes.
Corrigan, whose relentless ques-
tioning hammered Addison into
making nervous and somewhat de.
fiant answers. tried to discredlt
the autopsy the deputy coroner
made Of the body.
The lawyer told a reporter later:
The police and these people
from the coroner's office simply
went out to that Sheppard) house
and decided that Sam Sheppard
killed his wife. After that. they
never made an attempt 10 see IL
anyone else did IT,"
Corrigan got Addison to concede
the coroner's office made only a
microscopic test to determine
whether the victim had been
raped. and did not make q chemi.
cal examination.
The lawyer pointed out a certain
pattern in the head wounds that
killed the osteopath's wife, sug-
gesting that pronged weapon like
a rake could have been the weap-
on. Sheppard has insisted his wife
was killed by a bushy haired man
who knocked him unconscious
when he went to her aid.

Dixon-Yates Stock Issue

MEMPHIS, Sept. 49, The
city of Memphis has stepped
into the fight to block construc-
ton of the controversial Dixon
Yates steam plant across the
Mississippi River at West Mem
phis. Ark.
The city commission author
lied a petition to the Securities
and Exchange Commission re-
questing permission for the city
to intervene in the Middle South
Utility Co.'S bid for a new stock
issue. The issue would be used
to help finance the power-pro-
ducing plant.
The application to intervene
would be filed on behalf of the
city-owned light division which
distributes IVA power here.
Under the proposed setup the
privately operated plant at West
Memphis would supply Memphis
with electricity to replace iva
power diverted to the Atomic
Energy Commission.
City spokesman have said such
an operation would bring about
an increase in power rates in
this area.
The Dixon-Yat project,
backed by the Eisenhower ad-
ministration, won congressional
approval after a bitter Senate
fight.
