Controls Asked
For Pep Pills
BY the Associated Press

Commissioner George P. Lar
rick Of the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration says stricter laws
are needed to control the use
of so-called pep pills.
He said a recent nighttime
check of truck drivers on one
western New York highway
turned up 13 persons who had
these pills in their possession.
Mr.. Larrick said the pep pills
keep a driver awake longer
than normal but produce hal
lucinationS and cause drivers to
lose coordination.
"These pills have been in
volved in many automobile ac-
cidents. one of which I know
of that killed nine people," he
said during a program tapped in
Washington with Representa-
tive Ostertag, Republican of
New York. for use yesterday by
western New York television
stations.

AIX-EN-PROvENCE, France,
Aug. IA (AP).-Two million
dollars worth of borrowed paint
ings by French impressionist
Paul Cezanne we're stolen yes
terday in Southern Frances
seventh major art theft in two
years.
With police admitting they
have scarcely a clue in the lat
est haul, a spokesman for the
Pavilion Vendome, which was
showing the paintings, indi-
Gated it Is ready to pay ransom
to get them back. They were
insured for 10 million francs
($2 million.
The spokesman for Pavilion
Vendome said the masterpieces,
most of them borrowed from
Americans and others for ex-
hib1t in this ancient city where
Cezanne was born, are so well
known that no reputable dealer
would buy them. He expressed
fears that the thieves might
try to peddle them to a collector
who would buy them for his
own secret pleasure.
Police said the theft had all
the trademarks of a band Of
professionals. 1t was even more
daring than that at st. Tropez
a month ago, when burglars got
away with paintings worth 81
million from an unguarded mu-
scum by backing a truck up
to the door. No trace has been
found of these.
A detective said that thieves
broke into the Vendome gallery
yesterday, apparently before
dawn, while two guards were
in a room adjoining the second
floor exhibit and the exposi-
ton director was in another
part of the building. The
guards, asleep or doing, said
they heard nothing.

Mr.. Allen also asked for
funds so that his department
and the regents could prepare
legislation for the regular
January session that would
permit the schools to operate
"unhampered by restrictive
controls or influences"
Gov. Rockefeller had re-
buffed on Friday Mayor
Wagner's request to participate
in naming a six-man board of
inquiry into the widespread
charges of corruption among
school employees.
The school board has been
rocked in recent weeks by
charges of construction fraud,
poor maintenance, kickbacks
and payoffS.
The charges were lodged
against a background of a
bitter primary election cam
paign between Mayor Wagner
and State Controller Arthur
LEVITT the city Democratic
organizations candidate for
the mayoral nomination.
Mr.. Levitt, a former presi-
dent of the City School Board,
said last night:
Whether the calling Of the

what will transpire at it, are

and his religious practices or
the denial thereof. :"
Members of this sect, in the
past, have complained of dis
elimination. Mr.. Clemmer,
however, has said they refuse
to conform with prison life and
regulations.
Early last June, the Court
of Appeals turned down two
other members of the sect who
appealed because of alleged
discrimination. The court said
that they had failed to ex-
hauSt administrative remedies
by failing to appeal to the
Commissioners.
Evening star., 1961-08-14

The United States Court Of
Appeals today upheld the right
of a member of the Black Mus
Inns, who said jail officials
subjected him to cruel punish
ment because he made an
appeal to the Commissioners.
The court reversed the
United State District Court here
and ordered a hearing on
charges of misconduct by Jail
officials made by william T. K.
Fulwood through Attorney
Theodore j. St. Antoine.
Fulwood has served two
years of his two-to-eight-year
sentence for robbery. District
Court Judge Charles F. Nc
Laughlin turned down his
petition for a hearing last
october but granted the right
Of appeal.
The appellate court today
ordered the hearing in an opin-
ion written by Judge John A.
Danaher and concurred in by
Judge Henry w. Edgerton and
Judge Walter M. Bastian.
= Cruelty Alleged
1t is the first case, one of
several involving some 40 mem
bers Of the religious sect in
District jails, which has been
upheld here, although several
other jurisdictions recently
have granted hearings based
on discrimination.
The high court noted that
Fulwood filed a petition with
the late Commissioner David
Karrick complaining he had
been subjected to cruel and
unusual punishment. The court
said Fulwood contended that,
because of that petition, he
had been placed in solitary
confinement.
Furthermore, the opinion
said, Fulwood said he was per-
secuted because of a letter of
protest to Donald Clemmer. di-
rector of the District Depart
nient of Corrections. He said

But at least five of the seq
regation-defying riders earlier
announced their intention Of
not appearing. Their attorney
petitioned Federal Court to re-
ceive the five cases, and they
were automatically transferred
to United States district court.
Officials of the ride-sponsor-
ing Congress on Racial Equali-
ty said at least 180 of the
riders were in Jackson last
night.
Two More Arrested
The convicted riders returned
to this Mississippi Capital City
of 10000 in the same methods
they had used to travel here
earlier. But this time, they
refused to enter any segregated
facilities.
The total number of arrested
Freedom Riders swelled to BOT
yesterday, however, as two
more persons tested segregation
barriers in a bus terminal here.
They were arrested by Jackson
police as quickly as the earlier
riders.
Jailed were Pauline Shines,
%, a white New York resident,
and George Raymond, jr,, 18-
year-old New Orleans Negro.
Police planned to block off
a two-block area around the
courthouse before trials began
and promised a quick trip in
the paddywagon for any dem
onstrators. Several months
ago, a hand-clapping crowd of
Negroes was dispersed by
trained dogs when they gath
cred outside city court for the
trials of Negro students who
attempted to desegrate a for
white-only public library.
Rally Draws Crowd
Last night more than 1900
persons, including the Free
dom Riders, attended a rally
called to give moral support to
the integrationists.
The audience, which ranged
from 80-year-old women to a
5-year-old boy, clapped, sang
and shouted as officials of
CORE, the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored
People and the Southern Chris
tian Leadership Conference
spoke.
Time and again, the crowd
interrupted speakers with the
chant: "Oh, Jesus help U.S."
Segreg tion is catching
hell" said the Rev. Wyatt Tee
Walker of Montgomery, Ala,
SCLC executive director.
The Negro minister said his
people used to sing "Old Black
