Leftover Grenade Kills Kids at Play

INDIANAPOLIS, R - An anti tank rifle grenade casually handled by a group of children in basement near here exploded Friday, killing one and sending an other to die in a hospital.
 Five others were wounded critically as the soaring shrapnel ripped through their small bodies.
 Richard Plymate, 10, in whose home the grenade exploded, was killed by the blast. Mark Saun- ders, 10, died four hours later in St. Francis hospital, after moaning q dropped it, I dropped it.
 Injured critically were the Ply mate boys sister, Kanet, 7, and four other children, ranging in age from 6 to 12.
 Neighbor children said they often played with the grenade in the home of Paul Plymate, and they said some of the children had a secret weapons club" Ply mate said he had no idea how the device got in his home.
 An Army ordnance expert, It. Luther A. Higley, identified the explosive as an M9 antitank rifle grenade, made to pierce armor plate up to six inches thick.

Castro Pitches For
 Benefit of Farm Program

HAVANA. tR - Pitcher Fidel Castro lent his right arm to his agrarian reform program Friday night and, thanks to kindly um- pire, hurled a sensational inning of baseball.
 The revolutionary leader thrilled a cheering crowd of 2,50O in Grand Stadium as he stepped to the mound for an army team and re- tired the opposing police nine in order.
 For the occasion, the bearded Castro traded his olive drab army garb for baseball togs.
 Castro was wild and threw mostly straight pitches but man. aged to work in few curves. Of the three batsmen facing him, however, only one. got wood on the ball.
 With umpire Amado Maestri's ruling, Castro struck out" two.
 The count ran 3-2 on the first man up. Castro wound up and loosed high, hard one. It cleared the batter's head, and the fans moaned.
 But the ump saved the game and extracted mighty cheer when he called it a strike. Castro headed for the plate and gratefully shook the umpire's hand
 Despite the lack of runs, the game was a profitable one. Castro received checks totaling 158,449 pesos mn $158,449 at the official rate - in contributions plus all paid admissions. The agrarian re- firm program, Castro's pet pro- ject, got the money.

hide Uses older brother.
Mr.. Adler was released, but
the family lived In terror
that he would be re-arrested
and they decided the time
had come TO get their chill

The brother was spirited
over the border illegally. Use.

two-week permit, travelling
alone. She joined an older
sister. who had been sent to
France two years earlier "be-
cause our parents thought at

been closed to Jews, she ex-
planned.
The French, who were al

refugees. enforced the permit
rigidly, and she won q two

The second two weeks al

In time the Swiss too be-

There they lived for a while
