She said she gave false infor mation to police and at the hear ing because she was alraid po lice would take avay her apart merit and baby. "A lot of people have asked me to change my evidence," she added. Justice Sir Archie Marshall told her "very seriously. . to consider your position overnight" before returning to the stand today If Miss Ricardo did lie at the pre trial hearing, the prosecution case against Ward would be named, because it is based part ly on the girls' testimony that Ward prolited from their affairs Willi men.

Wallace of Alabama and Ross Barnctt of Mississippi are meeting informally with olher governors to drum up support for a plan to block President Ken nedy s re-election. The two Deep South governors said they have Ifed several infor mal chats with chief executives from other states on their pro posed "unpledged electors" plan. Proponents of the move are urging that state legislators amend their election laws by making i "preferential presidential pri mary" mandatory. This, they say, would enable a second slate of "unpledged" presidential electors an anti-hcnnedy slate to ap pear on the stale primary bal lots. If tlie unpledged electors gar nered more votes in the primary than the Kennedy slate, they would be the Democratic party's stale standard bearers. Kennedy's name -would nol appear on the stale Democratic ballot in November. Wallace said his talks have been "strictly informal." "This Js not the place to take up tin's situation. It has to be the people in the various states who must right the wrongs that exist," he said. Barnctt Indicated the campaign to push the unpledged electors' plan would be extended but he did not detail ahy specific moves. The people want a change from liberalism to conservatism," he said. That's what the majority of the American people are hun gry for today. The people real ize tliat our constitutional rights are being trampled on and tliat there is a gross misuse of power by the federal government," Bar nett said.

Lyons who should be the envy of every press associa tion and nowspapcr working stiff who maneuvers this piece toward print or into the waste basket. Lyons probably has the best job in journalism. He is editor of tlie Stuart Fla., News which means that he works and goes fishing in the Stuart-Jensen Beach area of cast coast Florida.

Lyons is a Inendly man slow to anger. The Post Office Department's new zip-code, how ever, is too much for editor Ly ons, lie says it win oe a nop and ho fours it will be the most expensive burden on business and industry since tuxes. In the News, Lyons wrote: The U.S. printing industry should chip in for a solid gold monument to Postmaster Gen oral F. Edward Dav. Good For Printers His new zip-code numbers, coming as they do ahead of dog days, will be a shot-in-the-arm to the printers in an otherwise dull period ami will cost American business untold millions of dol lars. "Indeed, if c were in the print ing business (tlie News has no job shop), we would call in our salesmen and give tlicm a pep talk. Got out there boys and sell! Every letterhead and en velope in (lie U.S.A. is out-of-date. They got no zip!' "And there would be a sense of rmncy in our attempt to get this "For common sense would tell us that zip is going to be a. dis mal flop and we'd better make hay while the sun shines. Human beings just aren't made like com-, putcrs and it would take a com puting system to remember all of the zip numbers of all of the cor-i respondents in which the average person engages. The general idea that Postmaster General Day is trying to sell is that, if you send it by zip it will go by fast U.S. mail: if not by zip it will go by slow U.S. muic.

The beauty of Lyons' job is that he can do something affirmative about his frustrations. When, for example, he is overcome by some such enormity as Postmaster General Day's zip-code, Lyons can rig an eel skin on a line and take a 30-pound snook from iiiiMness, the sweetest nnntinc I he St. Lucie River Or with plum since the phone companies more elaborate gear he can tie c hanged over to thr dial svstem.
