U.PJ A West Virginia judge Wednesday freed on probation a repentant California vineyard worker who admitted he shot a men to death here 34 years ago. Vincenzo Pennino. 65, Stock ton, Calif., wept when Circuit Judge J. J. P. O'Brien sentenced him to one to five years in prison for voluntary manslaughter. But after hearing a long ac count of the man's life, O'Brien ordered him realesed on two years' probation and gave him the choice of returning to Cali fornia or living with a brother in York, Pa. Pennino, who speaks no Eng lish, indicated he wanted to re turn to the West Coast, Sheriff Thomas Boyd said. Told of Killing Arrested on a murder charge after he was overheard telling a friend in a tavern that he shot Paul Lucia in an argument on Feb. 4, 1921, Pennino was ex tradited to West Virginia to tand trial. Authorities agreed to reduce the charge after learning of Pennino's exemplary life since the slaying, and he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaugh ter at a hearing here March 15. His arrest reunited him with his brother, Peter, 61, who agreed to post the S500 proba tionary bond set by the court. The brothers met for the first time in 36 years after Vincenzo was jailed here earlier this month. T - X "A J. 4.

(U.R) What may be the seven-foot tusk of a prehistoric hairy mammoth has been unearthed by a truck driv er in a gravel pit near here. Robert Atterbury made the strange find while hauling grav el from the state-owned pit Sat urday. The tusk had been brok en into three pieces by a power shovel working some 50 or 60 feet beneath ground surface. The tusk was removed by At tebury and friends and tentative ly identified by Ray Spangle, a Pendleton barber and rock ex pert. Spangle has advised Atte bury to send pictures and de scriptions of the fossil to Dr. Arnold Shotwell, curator of the University of Oregon natural history museum at Eugene. Attebury was helped in re moving the speciman by his fa ther, Roy, Wallace Ralston and W. R. Nugent. The men hope Dr. Shotwell will be able to identify the tusk positively as coming from the hairy mammoth, a crea ture that roamed the plains of eastern Oregon 25,000 years ago.

"These s e m i d o c u mentary shows have more body than other series and thus are more durable," Miner explained today while visiting here from New York to collect honors from a hof-pital for "Medic." Miner promises that "Brief case" will not feature a Sergeant Friday or a Dr. Styner groaning "I am an attorney . . ." The new series will have no regular star. The producer also plans "Fron tier," a documentary western, and "Challenge," dramas based on historical decisions.

The Mickey Rooney show and "Amos and Andy" have stopped shooting. The Ray Milland series and "Halls of Ivy," according to in dustry experts, are in danger of being dropped. "I Love Lucy," which started the situation comedy cycle, changed sponsors for next year. This year' Lucy held her high rating by changingthe format to involve a cross-country trip.

So They Say Women born under Aquarius (January 20-February 19) are in clinded to be eccentric, unpre dictable and unconventional. They are very demonstrative. They call everybody "Darling!" An Aquarian female cannot be dominated. She is like a mule. You have to reason with her. She despises housekeeping. She intensely desires luxury. No Aquarian woman is really happy unless she has a mansion, a maid and a mink coat. Or, so say the stargazers.

The fund would be raised by tripling the present monthly dues of $2.50.

Indian Bureau Gets Tribal Decision Job Washington U.P.) The Bu reau of Indian Affairs will take over the .task of determining what members of the Klamath Indian tribe are entitled to a share in the tribal property. Secretary Douglas McKay's of fice said this action was taken after consultation with leaders of Oregon's Klamath tribe. Under legislation enacted Aug. 13, 1954, the tribe was given six months to prepare a roll of mem bers entitled to a share of tribal property. A roll was submitted and certified by the tribe by the Feb. 13 deadline, but .later the enrollment committee withdrew its certification, leaving the task to the Interipr Department. The law approved last August provides for elimination of all special trust and service rela tionships between the Klamath tribe and the government on or before Aug. 13, 1958. It specifies that the interior secretary shall provide a list of members en titled to share in the property if the tribe failed to do so in the six-month period.
