No Pole VaUIfing
At WoIpoIe Prison

Walpole, Mass. (ANP) - Ex-
pansion of the sports program at
Walpole State Prison won enthus-
iastic approval of the Inmates
Council last week, but there was
one dissenting vote and that was
cast by the warden, John A. Ga
vim.
Warden Gavin objected because
the Inmates Council had approved
adding one extra event to the
sports program - Pole Vaulting!
The Warden said mo" to that
proposal because the prison wall
was Is feet high and one of the
inmates was a champion pole vaul-
ter during his college days, his
best leap being IA feet, six inches.
With just a little more effort,
thought the Warden, the prisoner
might pole vault himself over the
prison wall!

Plan For Press
CoVerage Of AtIanfo
School InfeoFofion

Atlanta (ANP) - Through the
courtesy of Mayor William B.
Hartsfield, a Press Center, with
elaborate facilities, will be avail
able for newsmen covering the in
tegration of four Atlanta high
schools this fall.
The City Council chamber and
second floor of City Hall will serve
as command post for the newsmen.
At least so additional telephones,
so typewriters, 8 televesion re-
ceivers, 3 or radio receivers, a
police radio and telegraph accom-
modations will be installed in the
Press Center, according to Mayor
Hartsfield.
AT the four schools there will
be installed special telephones on
the desk of the principal. These
telephones will be connected to a
conference.-the telephone in the
council chamber where at approp-
riate intervals the principal will
report to the superintendent and
be available for questions by the
assembled press" Hartsfield said.
The City of Atlanta School Sys-
TEN, acting under a Federal Court
mandate, has selected four high
schools for the initial desegrega-
ton program. The program was
set up on a graduated, grade-a-
year basis.
Hartsfield said he expects sew
eral hundred members of the press
and other news media to be in
Atlanta when 10 carefully screened
Negro seniors enter the four white
high schools.

chance base running when 1 think
I shouldn't have. Or he gets on
me about hitting and stuff like
that. You know Frank can do it
and wants to do it so you try to
do it,"
Set Rookie Record
Robinson came up to the majors
in 1856 and became the MIS-
rookie-of-the-year by the virtue
of hitting 80 home runs (batting
.290), the greatest total for any
rookie in the history of the game.
Since then, Robinson has been
verging on greatness. Last year,
he was the leagues smuggling
champion. He appears certain to
better his previous smuggling marks,
both in home runs and total bases.
What's more the pride of Gin
cinnati is a good outfielder (he's
versatile, but hates to play first
base) and has speed on the base
paths.
He is, in short, a good, all
around baseball player.

To those who view it for the

banks for the "holes" in which
catfish seem to prefer. When
they feel a fish they often

catfish big enough to swallow {.

help to land it.
The hole can be difficult to
reach and the fisherman may
have to go in water over his
head to check it out, it can be
filled with snags that rip the
hands, or it could be the home

Street Into Battlefield;
One Mon Killed

New York (ANP) - A Bronx
teenage gang beat man to death,
and turned a Bronx street into a
battlefield by barraging 20 Negro
boys with small fire arms and
''Molotov cocktails"
Police charged eight youths with
homocide. They had been held
without bail for felonious assault
in the beating to death of Robert
Morales, 20, and the father of a
20-month-old girl.
The beating apparently was in
reprisal for an earlier gang incid-
ent possibly aggravated by racial
tensions, according to police. In
the earlier Bronx street incident,
17-year-old Fred Stark was shot in
the leg.
