FORT WORTH—
(Continued from Pag* One)
a transition to desegregated
schools.
The only positive action taken,
the complaint alleges, was passage
of a resolution (by the board) at
the beginning of the current year
"affirming its position to retain
a segregated school system" and
offering as justification the fact
the area studies have not been
completed.
The Marshall brief points out
that last July 23 the Fifth Circuit
remanded the current ease with
directions to enter a judgment-re-
straining and enjoining Dallas
schools ... on a racial non-
discriminatory basis with all de-
liberate speed.”
That decision remanded a ruling
by Judge Atwell allowing Dallas
more time prior to integration.
On Sept. 9 the jurist entered an
order requiring desegregation in
January and ordering *ch'ol au-
thorities to admit Negroes "on tfl3

though they were members of fle
“Gein had been extremely close
to his mother throughout his life,
so close, in fact, that he apparent-
ly acquired a feminine complex.
After the death of his father
George about 20 years ago he be-
came more attached to his mother
with whom he lived, along with
his older brother Henry, who died
in 1944.
"Before her death in 1945. his
mother had two paralytic strokes
during which her devoted son Ed
nursed her, further strengthening
their relationship. Gein associated
little with girls. He was too shy
and had little interest in them.
He said he never had any sex
contact with them.
"Some years ago, at the height
of his mother devotion, he wished
he had been a woman instead of
a man. He bought medical books
and studied anatomy. He wond-
ered whether it would be possible
to change his sex. He considered
inquiring about an operation to
change him to a woman, and even
thought of trying to operate upon
himself, but did nothing about
such plans.
“After his mother's death, Ke
brooded for a long time. From
this disconsolate mood emerged
the compulsion to visit cemeter-
ies. After a few nocturnal trips
to graveyards, he began digging
into fresh graves,!
“He said he took the bodies to
his home and cut them up. He
kept only the heads, the skin, and
some other parts. He insisted he
disposed of the remainder of the
bodies by burning them in small
pieces in his kitchen cook stove.
"Gein said he kept all of * the
faces of his victims. He was par-
ticularly intrigued by the women’s
hair. He removed the skin of some
of them and used it for making

raignment on a charge of first-
degree murder.
Gain was at the laboratory for
a total of 10tt hours but under-
went only short periods of lie de-
tector tests. The rest of the time
was spent in interviews and in-
terrogations.
As he left the laboratory, clean
shaven and smiling, funeral serv-
ices were held at Plainfield for
Mrs. Worden.
Her mutilated body was discov-
ered on Gein’s farm near Plain-
field Saturday night. Authorities
searching the Ottered farmhouse
fouqd a collection of human skulls
whieiVare being scrutinized by the
laboratory. Gein declared he ob-
tained the skulls in a series of
grave robberies from 1944 to 1952.
Portage County Sheriff Herbert
Wanserski has expressed doubt
that Gein, who weighs about 140
pounds, was physically able to
commit grave robberies.
William Belter, attorney for the
51-year-old bachelor farmer, told
reporters after talking to Gein
that “although there is the possi-
bility of another charge against
him in addition to the slaying of
Mrs. Worden, he will plead inno-
cent by reason of insanity.”
“I don’t think he has a full ap-
preciation of what he has done,”
Belter said. (‘Although he has im-
proved his recollection, there are
things that are still hazy to him.”
The Tribune said it obtained its
latest information in the case
from an investigator, who was’
not identified. It said:

There are indications of in-
creasing financial support for the
chamber, whose budget has been
pitifully low compared with other
cities of the same size who are
accomplishing things.
There are still some however,
who apparently don’t know the
worth of a chamber.
We were shocked the other day
to learn that a leading local mer-
chant on the square—a good friend
of ours, incidentally—wasn’t even
a member of the chamber.
We hope tq see this and other
