Alice Richard Under Further State Scrutiny FRESNO, Calif.. April 3 -UP) Fourteen year old Alice Richard Saturday was committed to a state mental institution for further ob servation in the March 19 "hate slaying" of her twin sister, Sally. Juvenile Court Judge Arthur Shepard declined to name the in stitution or to identify the form of mental illness attributed to the girl. Judge Shepard stressed, how ever, the case was nut a criminal one. "It's merely a case of prescrib ing treatment for a sick child," he said. Commitment of the surviving twin followed just 12 days after Sally met her death by shooting. The jurist indicated Alice would be observed for 90 days, then re turned for court action. He added that several such per iods of observation and confine ment could possible follow. The jurist said he had received hundreds of letters from anxious parents, interested psychiatrists and "crackpots." To quiet the fears of worried parents, the judge said: "We are satisfied that the fact of her being a twin sister was 1 neither a primary nor a contribu ! tnry cause of the killing. Parents I should drop this phase of the mat- ter from their minds. "What happened here was that a mentally tick girl killed another girl with whom she was closely associated. The sisterhood was 1 purely incidental." i 1 1 ( i n i Amazing Value of t1 JACK TV i Amaz'mgValue of L $1,4095 J Metal Trades Union On Strike In Portland PORTLAND, April 3 (IP) AFL machinists, foundrymen and boiler makeri were on strike today at 40 plants.

Aprd 3 -UP) Disgruntled Bethany citizens were clamoring for a atate supreme court fight Saturday to oust achool officiate who they claim force Naz arene doctrine on students. District Judge Baker H. Melone dismissed the suit Friday as half of Bethany jammed the court room. He ruled the teaenmg ot ao stinence from alcohol and tobacco doea not constitute religious in struction. The suit, brought by a citizens committee headed by William E. Bleakley, charged violation of re ligious freedom guaranteed in the first and fourteenth amendments to the U. S. Constitution. It asked dis missal of the superintendent, prin cipal and three teachers for per mitting the alleged teachings. Bleakley said he may appeal to the state supreme court. A forbidden "coronation kiss" touched off the battle. For a kiss is not just a kiss in blue-lawed Bethany, a town of 2.300, 10 miles west of here. It's the object of statutes which forbid the act in public. Wearing of shorts in public and sale of beer and tobacco are also taboo. Most of Bethany's citizens are members of the Nazarene church. The religious dispute snowballed after Riddell Riggs planted a kiss on Queen Charlotte MrLain at a high school basketball queen cor onation Feb. 17. The next day 30 students walked nut, claiming they feared reprisals because of anti-kissing rules in the church and school. Six ringleaders were suspended for a short lime. Then irate parents took up the fight, seeking relief from alleged influence by the Nazarene church. Rose Cr Washington Sandlot Baseball Clubs Organized WICHITA, Kans.
