Jaguar Track Stars to Compete
la New York, Boston Meets
By BENNIE THOMAS
(Special to Sua Antonio Kegiiiter)
DATON ROUGE, La—Theron Lewig and Richard Ross, along
" with Southern university's crack mile relay team, will par-
ticipate in the Milrose games ill New York's Madison Square
garden, Jan. 28, the third indoor meet of the season for the
Jaguar Harriers.
The Southern university contingent will also see action in
the Boston Athletic association meet in the Boston Garden, Jan.
90.
Southern university trnek «omli,
Dick Hill, Hated the freshmnn trio of
Webster Johnson, Orundy Harris, and
Robert Johnson, along with Lewis,
as the mile relay hopefuls.
The rHayera are uuilcfeated this
season. They posted 8:17.5 in the Sen-
ior bowl Indoor meet after being
clocked In 8:11 outdoors in the Or-
ange bowl meet In Miami, Fla.
Lewis, the New Orleans flyer who
was a membfr of the Olympic track
team, will kq. in the 000-yard danh
against a strong field of middle*dis-
tance numeral which includes Mike
Larabee, gold-medal winner In the
400 meter; Tom Farrell, Jay Luck,
and Ollan Catasell.
Lewia hns hit the tape lending the
field In the Sugar bowl meet In New
Orleans and the Orange bowl In the
400 metera and 440-yard dnsh re-
rlvely, and last week easily won
440-yard dn«h In the Boston
(Mass.) Knights of Columbus meet
In 48.2, just two-teuths seconds off
rhe world record for the event on an
IMap track.
Rom, one of a handful of high
jumpers last year to go over seven
feet, also saw action in the K of C
«nect and jumped 6 feet, 11U Inches,
Sut mimed out when Australia's Lar-
ry I'eckham was declared the winner
?n fewer misses, will compete against
a stroug field which lists Ray Bury
and Hweden's Kjell-Ake Nllsnon, nn
Olympian who will be making his
American debut.
The two Johnsons listed on the
Jaguar mile relay team are brothers.
Last year at Princeton high school,
the dashing brother act made the
North Louisiana high school one of
the feared prep aggregations, even In
trsck-stronf Texas, with their ei»
ploits.
It's because of the Johnsons and
Harris, that Coach Hill says In a
flash that, "Before the season la over,
we will have the top freshman mile
relay team In the nation at Southern."

Daring the trial, the covnty physi-
cian refused to go on record as say-

The trial reresled that at the drink-

Ia May. 1047, Hortoa waa sought
for questlohing when a Wyoming
street home was the target af a fusil-
lade of bullets.
In August, 1964, s woman stabbed
Horton three times, in the back, with
an ice pick. He was seriously wound-
ed. The woman said that after she
had repulsed his advances, he had
sturted to stab her with the Ice pick,
(banged his Aind. nnd tossed It aside.
She picked up the pick, later, aad
plunged it Into his back.
llortou's last real serious brush
with the law was in August, 1961,
when he slugged and stabbed a 52-
year-old man in a Hedges street bar.
Norton admitted he intended to kill
'.he man and probably would have,
lad not a bystander disarmed him as
ie was about to cut the man's
hroat
script ion of the thief and his car, nnd
the car'a registration number was
obtained. A neighbor reported that
she could Identify the burglar.

Ex-Councilman
Wins Acquittal
In Perjury Charge
Negro Press Internationsl
GROWN POINT, Ind—Ex-Gary
city councilman Terry Gray was ac-
quitted by a Lake county criminal
court Jury here last week of charges
of lying to a county grand jury in
lOttt about 10.000 he allegedly re-
ceived from former Gary Mayor
George Chacharis as part of "kick-
back" money from the Shamrock En-
gineering company on city contracts.
Gray, a lawyer, presently work-
ing the night shift at Inlsnd Steel in
Esst Chicago, n«s the first three
former eouncilmen awsiting trial on
grand jury indictments for perjury.
The others. Alois Wosniak and George
Ferhat, still await trial.
Gray had been accused sf receiving
tha money from the eaiginearing fins
through Chacharie to influence hie du-
ties as a councilman. Hs wss atfeo
charged with failure to enforce city
laws la 1003 calling for routing of
truck traffic In aress where Shsm
rock trucks were working. At thst
time, Gray waa aa the council's traf-
fic committee.
However, Atty. Jsmes Klmbroogh,
Grey's lawyer, pointed out that Ken-
neth Harrington, Shamrock owaer,
had testified he had no dealiuge with
Gray and that Gray performed no
deed for the company.
The money In question, In the form
n# three checks, was given ts former
Mayor Chaeharia, then Gary city con
troller, by Harrington. The checks
subsequently ended up la Gray'a
hands.
Howevsr, the ex councilman ex-
plained that Chachuris hud given him
the money to attend law school. He
noted that he and Chacharia were
close friends and political allies, and
that Chschuris had also given him
money to attend a conference in New
York, and a musical concert In Wash-
ington.
Gray testified he failed to pass his
first bar examination, hut was suc-
cessful in 1000.
Chacharis, who served a term in
federal prison for income tax evasion
growing out of the kickbacks be re-
ceived from construction firms in
Gary, was recently released on pa-
role.

He wonders out loud about contin-
uing pleas from the police depart-
ment asking citizens to "help the
police protect you," nnd how many
citizens would help if they knew what
has happened to him.
He remarked on n recent Incident
in which a state legislator was beaten
and robbed on a subway train while
fellow passengers did nothing to assist
him.
"I don't know," said Boyd. **There
was n time when I would have tried
to stop such an attack. 1 am not sure
that I would do anything now."
The most galling part of the affair
is that It is not directed against Boyd,
but against his wife. Karline. Since
he has not heen employed, the credit-
ors are «eeklng to attach her wogea.
HShe hps worked hard to keep Qfl
going an I now they want to take that
away, Oh*," he said.
Lawrence Boyd did not have to stop
bis cnb to do what lie thought was
i is duty; he could Iiiivh done as so
many other Chicsgonns do—act like it
isn't happening.
But. he did what l.c thought he
should do. It almost cost him his life:
it coat him his Job; and it will cost
him and his wife a day in court nnd
probably $1,200.14.
That is the measure of Chicago's
gratitude for a hero.

Papers
(Continued from Pane I.)
The FKPC charged that Motorola,
which usually keeps test papers for
00 days, told the commission that
M>art's paper had been destroyed lews
than 40 days after lie took the test.
Since then, In a series of hearings
and rulings which have attracted
widespread attention, the FKPC hns
churged Motorola with racial discrim-
ination and ordered the firm to pay
Myart $1,000.
The new development came In the
form of a modified order in which
the FKPC clarified Its findings "be-
cause there has been widespread pub-
lic misunderstanding."
The commission did not order Mo-
torola to give Myart a job, nor did
it consider the $1.000 a fine. The FK-
PC statement said:
"The commission finds that fair
nnd just compensation is due Myart
in the sum of $1,000 ns compensatory
dnmagex suffered by him arising out
of Motorola's set of discrimination."
Attorneys for the company denied
they had discriminated against My*
art A point-by-point refutation was
presented by Kenneth M Piper, vice
president in charge of human rela-
tions.
He said there was no evidence that
Myart had passed the test, and that a
failing mark had been placed on the
application. Piper said the FKPC "has
stooped to a new low to fabricate an
act of discrimination, and thereby
place a stigma on an 1 llinois employ-
er."
The Myurt-FKPC case against Mo-
torola is hnxing wide repercussions.
Illinois Atty. (Jen. William G. Clark
:ilmo«t flatly stated that he will not
defend the FKPC on a circuit court
case brought by Motorola to have the
tuling set aside.
Clark told the commission that he
would not represent them unless the i
commission eliminated the $1,000 pay-
ment and supplied additiounl details
concerning its findings against Motor-
ola.
The state attorney general Is snp>
posed to be legal counsel for sll etafee
agencies and officers.
"eanwblle, the state legislature^
leading Republicans said the FKPO
hns "injured ita own authority, and
debasing the intent of the law."
In another action affecting the com-
mission, <ior. Otto Kerncr luts renom-
inated three of its meml»erf whuao
