Naples, Italy, Jan. 26
Jr) —- The pre-World
Wjfcr II vice kingpin in
the United States —
Charles (Lucky) Luciano
—has died in Naples of a
heart attack. He was 64. Lu-
ciano had been living in
Naples, under police surveil-
latfce, almost all the time
since he was deported from
New York after World War
V
Luciano was deported after
serving ten years of a 30-year
sentence for white slavery.
His conviction in New York
in 1936 was brought about by
a prosecutor named Thomas
Dewey.
* Ten years later, as gover-
nor, Dewey pardoned Luciano
from prison and ordered him
deported since he never had
citizenship papers.
Luciano claimed the pardon
was granted for his services
to the U. S. Navy just before
the invasion of Sicily.
Police in Italy kept a close
eye on him, because he was
always rumored to' be one of
the top men in international
aitrime. They picked him up for
questioning about such things
as narcotics rings but always
let him go.

Chief Executive
Of Montana
Killed in Crash
Wolf Creek, Mont., Jan. 26
(f! — Montana Governor Don-
ald Nutter, two of his aides,
and three crewmen have died
in a plane crash about 35 miles
north of Helena. The twin-
engine C47 of the Air National
Guard burned after plunging
into a wooded mountainside
near Wolf Creek. Nutter, who
was 46 years old, died with
State Agriculture Commission-
er Edward Wren and executive
secretary Dennis Gordon. Nut-
ter was on his way to Cut
Bank in Northern Montana to
make a speech.
The three crewmen who died
ore identified as pilot Cliff
Hanson, cp-pilot Joseph De-
vine, and engineer Chico Bal-
lard, all of Great Falls, Mont.
An Air National Guard of-
ficial says the C47 apparent-
ly went.,out of control in the
air. And a deputy sheriff at
Wolf Creek says the plane
seems to have plunged straight
down onto a rounded knoll.
One piece of wreckage was
found aix miles from the crash
scene. A rancher who reached
the scene describes most of
the wreckage as being the size
of a notebook.
So far, only two of the aix
bodies have been found.
The plane crashed about 30
minutes after taking off from
Helena.

Mrs, Rockefeller
Changes Mind
Garden City, N. Y., Jan. 26
M’S—The Long Island newspa-
per, Newsday, says Mrs. Nel-
son Rockefeller no longer in-
tends to seek an out-of-state
divorce from the New York
governor and that, if he wants
a divorce, he’ll have to get it
himself. The newspaper says
that would mean he would
have to establish out-of-state
residence, thereby forfeiting
his state office. The paper
quotes Mrs. Rockefeller's bro-
ther and attorney, John Clark,
as saying she’s heartbroken
over the breaking up of the
marriage. Other sources are
quoted as saying she would
consider patching things up if
the governor is willing.
Washington, Jan. 26 (Ah —
Living costs declined slightly
last month. The government
says lower average prices for
cars, gasoline and clothing are
the main reasons for a one-
tenth of one per cent decline
in living costs, off-setting
price increases in food and
services.
The outlook for this month
and the next is for a slight
rise in the cost of living. But
the deputy commissioner of
labor statistics, Robert Myers,
forecasts continued price sta-
bility for the rest of the year.
Fruit and vegetable prices
are expected to be up this
month, because of freezing in
Florida and Texas.
Living costs last year aver-
aged only one per cent higher
than 1960 — one of the small-
est increases in years.
The take-home pay for fac-
tory workers was up slightly
in December to a new record.
The factory worker heading a
family of four averaged
$85.17 a week.
Some 260.000 workers will
get living-cost pay hikes based
on the new figures. These in-
clude about 230,000 truck
drivers and some 30,000 air-
craft workers.

Theft of Bread
Austin, Jan. 26 Wt —- Two
Austin teenagers were- jailed
early today for investigation
of complaints invol v i n g the
theft of 71 loaves of bread.
The suspects said it was a
prank, but police are taking a
dim view of it.
The boys, from prominent
west Austin families, were ar-
rested about 6 a. m.
The arrests came as police
investigated complaints that
two occupants of a station wa-
gon dumped 13 bread cartons
in a front yard. Officers im-
mediately found the cartons
had been removed from a food
store where a bread truck had
made an early morning deliv-
ery. The boys said their actions

Sulphur Springs residents
had their first glimpse of the

change in the' weather began
materializing.
Heavy clouds which had

17 began moving out about
mid-morning after dumping
another .72 inch of rain on

Temperatures were on the
balmy side during much of the
day but were expected to turn
colder by night. A low read-
ing of 30 degrees was predict-
ed for the Dallas area, early
Saturday morning.
Cool Front Arrives
Clearing the skies was a
Pacific cold front which moved
slowly across the state, bring-
ing dry air in its wake. The
front brought thunderstorms
to West Texas Thursday night.
Monahans had wind gusting up
to 79 miles an hour.

Violent Battle
Leads to Jail
A recently released prisoner
paid a return visit to the city
jail in a truculent mood Thurs-
day night and ended up back
in a cell after a violent battle
with Patrolmen Don Qualls.
The prisoner, who was
brought here from Denton about
a week ago and jailed for non-
payment of an old fine, was
released about 3 p. m. after his
mother had sent the money due.
He reappeared at the police
station about 7:30 and asked
for a place to sleep. Due to the
visitor’s condition, the radio
dispatcher on duty sent out a
call for a patrolman to handle
the situation. -
Qualls started to usher the
visitor to a cell and found a
hatle on his hands.
“He came at me like a wild
man time after time,’’ the po-
liceman related Friday.
The prisoner was apparently
subdued but still outside a cell
when Sheriff Paul Jones arriv-
ed. He soon retreated behind
the bars.
Chief of Police Vaughn Dea-
ton said the man was taken to
a doctor Friday for a check-up
after he complained of a bad
headache.
He was charged with being
drunk in a public place and
using abusive language.

Cape Canaveral, Fla.,
Dec. 26 (AP) — Some of
the risks involved in to-
morrow’s planned orbital
flight were discussed at a
news briefing at Cape
Canaveral this morning.
Fo|r the first time, a space
administration spokes man,
Lieutenant - Colonel John
Powers, emphasized the ele-
ment of risk. He said he had
talked to Astronaut John
Glenn, Jr. He quoted Glenn as
saying he felt everything pos-
sible had been done to reduce
the risk, but that the risk re-
mained none - the - less, and
Glenn hoped everyone under-
stood that fact.
As an example, Powers
mentioned the possibility of
the brakiqg rockets failing to
fire. That would prevent
Glenn’s return to earth. The
space capsule would remain in
orbit for a week to ten days
before slipping back into the
atmosphere. And Glenn would
have oxygen for only 24 hours,
while the carbon dioxide re-
moval unit also would func-
tion for only 24 hours.
Glenn is described as well-
prepared to make his historic
trip. And weather conditions
continue to look good.

Reported Carter:
"De Gaulle didn’t say yes,

In previous stops in Wash-
