Nebraska Killer's Execution Could Be Postponed for Years Lincoln, Neb. (UPI) Mass killer Charles Stark weather will have to wait months, perhaps years, to find out whether he will be executed under a death sen tence handed down June 7. Starweather's execution has been set for Dec. 17 but the legal processes of Nebraska make it almost certain the sentence will not be carried out at that time. A state law passed by the 1957 Legislature requires the Nebraska Supreme Court -to review all capital punishment sentences. The law is the result of at tempts to outlaw the death sentence in the state. The Legislature refused to abolish the electric chair but set up the review as a compromise. 30 Days for Appeal The law gives Starkweath er's court-appointed attorneys 30 days to prepare an appeal, The Supreme Court then al Illinois Town Braced for Floods Streator, 111. (UPI) This city of 17,000 battled its worst flood in history today in the wake of a fire and ex plosion that destroyed a four- story building, killing at least five persons and injuring 10 Residents braced for even greater flood damage as au thorities warned two giant crests were surging down the Vermillion river toward the city. Torrential rains ranging up to six inches Monday trigger ed the floodwaters which threatened to knock out the city's water and sewage dis posal plants. About 500 per- sons were .evacuated from ' their flooded homes. The floods also were blamed for a sewer gas explo sion and fire that ripped apart the Williams Hardware Co, . building in the business dis trict. Ashland Girl Receives Trophy in 4-H Pre-Fair lows 70 days for the attorneys to file briefs containing cita tions supporting the appeal arguments. When the appeal reaches the Supreme Court, the juris diction of prosecution changes from the county attorney to the attorney general. He then has 30 days to an- swer tne Drieis iuea uy uic defense. Next, the case is docketed for hearing. Crimin al cases have priority on the docket but there is no way of determining the delay at this point. Each side is aiiowea minutes to present its case be fore the Supreme Court. A decision usually follows with in 30 days. If the court affirms the sentence, the defense is allow ed 20 days to ask for a re-hearing. A ruling on re-hearings usually takes about two weeks. During the Supreme Court proceedings a stay of execu tion is granted and after de termination of the case a new date is set if necessary by Su preme Court mandate. The law provides that exe cution must take place at least 100 days after a judge ment is pronounced. May Go To U. S. Court From the state Supreme Court the case may be appeal ed to the Supreme Court of the U. S. and Starkweather's attorneys have indicated they will do this. Another stay of execution is granted by the U. S. Su preme Court until it disposes of the case. If its verdict is unfavorable to the defense, the case could be appealed through the federal court sys tem. One Nebraska murder case which was carried into the federal court system recently resulted in the order for a re trial. The original trial was concluded in 1954. The state has appealed the federal re trial order and the end is not yet in sight.

Judy araa The Hollywood Scene Hollywood (UPI) Any body who says Hollywood has forgotten how to stage an all-out, frankly phony publi city stunt to sell a new movie obviously wasn't in San Fran risco the ohter day. The gimmick was inspired. The studio, 20th Century-Fox, decided to "sneak" with prop er advertising, of course, its latest science fiction thriller, "The Fly." To prove that this is the kind of movie makes the "House of Wax" and "Phan tom of the Opera" a cup of weak tea by comparison, the studio decided to sprinkle a ' handful of monsters through out the huge theater. Unfortunately, it was neces sary to import monsters. Eight young acting students answer ed the call and the makeup man had his hands full. .

Microbes Found In Eastern Pine Washington (UPI) Two i pared a map of pine tree areas microbes which cause a seri ous and sometimes fatal dis ease similar to tuberculosis have been discovered in the pollen of the eastern pine tree. Dr. Martin M. Cummings, director of Veterans Admin istration research here, said two chemicals found in the wax of pine pollen are sim ilar, if not identical, to mate rials found in sarcoidosis lesions. VA research has come up with some interesting statis tics on this disease. It has pre- on the east coast which coin cide closely with distribution of the disease. A chart prepared by VA showing the birthplaces of 1,200 veterans with the dis ease shows correlation be tween the tree and sarcoido sis. Although sarcoidosis is not widely found in the United States, Dr. Cummings said VA research studies have shown that there are about five cases among each 100,000 hos pitalized white veterenj rate is about 50 argoUg) h 100,000 hospitalized mom-iite veterans.

A short time after the Techni color chiller starring Vincent Price began to take on night mare aspects, the Wolf Man went up the theater scream ing, it plainly was too mucn for him! It wasn't clear just why the Hunchback of Notre Dame left the movie so early but some people suspected he had tired of his sub-teen-ager seat mates punching the basket ball sized hump on his back which was enhanced by the red underwear he wore. Spaceman's Air Disappears The spaceman, meanwhile rocked his way out when an air hose failed to function and his face began to turn a little blue within its fish-bowl casing. And it's just a wonder that Dracula was permitted to leave the movie house under his own steam. A couple of high school boys looked ready to wrap the vampire's black satin cape around him. "He's not going to kiss my girl on the neck again, ' one of them muttered. Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll, and the Ape Man left in a group. "What a way to make a liv ing," growled the Ape Man. 4-H Club News Griffin Creek Rabbit Club July 28, the Griffin Creek Rabbit club attended the Tal ent Pre-fair.
