WASHINGTON un - There was
humor as well as heartbreak in
the crime news of 1957.
There was, for instance, the
case of the errant bookkeeper of
a New York bus firm who was ar-
rested when he accidentally
bumped into his boss while board-
ing a plane for Florida. The boss
promptly had him arrested for
embezzlement. ’
THIEF FOUND
A department store in Lansing,
Mich., decided to take precau-
tions and hired a detective to
check on the honesty of its em-
ploses. He quickly nabbed a shop-
lifter—the store’s regular detec-
tive.

the Sth Circuit Court of Appeals.

SIMPLEST LIFE
The new Idea is that blue-green
algae, a form of microscopic
plant life, are the simplestliving
things. Dr. Dillon explained. From
these evolved some types of bac-
teria, then yeasts, then more com-
plex forms of life.
The green algae and higher
plants such as ferns. trees and
roses form one of the two top
hraerhaa of the tree.
Yellow algaeand rod and brown
seaweed form the other branch.
High animals apparently evolved
from this branch by some un-
med. The board contended
that to integrate Jan. 27
would disrupt the education-
al system.
Dr. W. T. White, school
superintendent, said of to-
day’s order: “It certainly would
be conducive to orderly procedure *
to maintain the status quo of the
school system throughout the
year. This does give us time to
study details of integration, which
would not be at all possible if we
had to integrate at midterm.”

NEW EVIDENCE -
From recent new evidence “we
are forced to conclude that all life
belongs to only one kingdom,
which in all honesty must be rec-
ognised as the kingdom of plants,”
said Lawrence S. Dillon, Ph.D.,
associate professor of biology
at Texas AIM College.
Dr. Dillon outlined the revolu-
tionary theory to the American
Aasn. for the Advancement of Sci-
ence.
It is based upon many studies
tracing evolution in a new way.
This method traces the evolution-
ary pattern by changes and de-
velopments in the internal struc-
tures of living cells. Different
types of living things are classi-
fied according to their cell struc-
ture and complexities.

MOSCOW «n_A recent aeries of
reshuffles within the Communist
party apparently is designed to
strengthen the control and lead-
ership of the central party organ-
ization in Moscow and throughout
the provinces.
The main move was taken last
week whn three party Presidium
members were appointed secre-
taries of the central party organi-
zation directly under party boss
Nikita S. Khrushchev.
They are N. A. Mukhitdinov,
Alexei I. Kirichenko and N. G.
Ignatov, all of whom are regarded
as long-time Khrushchev support-
ers. Mukhitdinov also was pro-
moted from candidate member to
full member of the Presidium.
With membership of the Presi-
dium expanded to 15. the secre-
tariat now provides a more tightly
knit body for direction and control
of party affairs.
Other reshuffles were reported
from Kazakhstan and the Ukraine
last night, also fitting into the cur-
rent pattern.
In the Ukraine, Kirichenko was
relieved of his responsibilities as
first secretary, presumably to
give him more- time to attend to
his duties with the secretariat of
the central party organisation to
Moscow.
In the Central Asian republic of
Kazakhstan the first and second
secretaries of the party organisa-
tion were removed and N. I. Bel-
yaev, a member of the Soviet
Presidium, was appointed to head
the party organization.
Political observers see Belyaev’s
role as that of a troubleshooter to
bring the Kazakh party machinery
under firmer control of the Mos-
cow party organisation.

The court reversed a decision by Judge William Atwell
of Dallas that the schools must be integrated at mid-term.

earlier appeals court mandate to integrate “with all de-

Incident “was the damndest acci-
dent you ever saw."
Williams' reference to the un-
known killers as a "pack of rata"
led directly to Sandy's anger
which ended with his surrender.
In a signed statement to Hous-
ton police, the Lumpkin boy said:
"We were out riding to Jimmy's
car. I saw four boys in and around
a car and, as we passed, one of
them shouted—I thought at us. I
told Jimmy to stop and when he
stopped the car, I jumped out and
said 'What's up.’
“A boy came running around the
side of the other car carrying what
looked like a rifle and firing it.
I pulled the pistol from my pocket
and shot back. On the second shot,
I saw the boy fall and jumped
back in Jimmy's car and said
'Let's get out of here.'"
Sandy told police he dismantled
the death weapon as he and his
three companions continued their
"ride.”
He threw the bullets, two spent
cartridges and three “live”
rounds, onto the Rice Institute
campus.
The cylinder and cylinder pin
were thrown into Brays Bayou.
The rest was thrown into another
bayou on the south side of town.
The cylinder was found.
Sandy told police he had bought
the weapon Monday from a friend,
as “protection" from an unidenti-
fied college student who allegedly
had struck the Lumpkin boy on
the heed with a tire tool during
a Thanksgiving Day drive-in res-
taurant fight.
The youth said he “disliked be-
ing laughed at."
When he heard Williams refer
to the killer as a "rat,” Sandy
became enraged, called the an-
nouncer and told him:
“Man, you’ve got it all wrong.”
Williams asked Sandy if the
shooting was an “accident.”
