In Court Action
Houston, June 29 I/P — A
1923 Rice University graduate
who defended himself in a
courtroom of Rice alumni has
been sentenced to life impri-
sonment as an habitual crimi-
nal.
The 58-year-old defendant,
Herbert J. Lieb, was sentenced
in Judge Ed Duggan’s court by
a jury which convicted him of
robbery. The jury deliberated
only seven minutes after argu-
ments by Lieb and assistant
district attorney, Gus Zgou-
rides of the Rice class of 1952.
.Judge Duggan was graduated
from the university in 1928
and his court reporter, Phillip
Smith, was graduated from
Rice in 1929.
Lieb, who studied element-
ary law at Rice, pleaded that
there was reasonable doubt in
the charges accusing him of
the Feb. 11th robbery of a
liquor store.
Since 1927, Lieb received
sentences of two years for
burglary, two years for coun-
terfeiting, 10 years for armed
robbery and a total of 10 years
oil two. counts of forgery.

“If we can have hot weath-
er, we go pretty fast on road
constr u c t i o n and improve-
ment,” said City Manager Carl
Riehn Thursday.
The rain has set workmen
back about 10 days, he said,
because the roads have to be
dried out before work can be
continued.
Streets now under construc-
tion are Middle, Harred and
Putman. The street in City
Park, Park Circle Drive and
Lee Street have their base
coats finished, he said.
Work may begin on Holiday
Drive next if the utilities are
fixed, Riehn said; The order in
which roads are fixed depends
upon weather and other condi-
tions.
Street crews are divided into
street construction, curb and
gutter construction and miscel-
laneous work.
Work will continue into Sep-
tember if weather conditions
permit it, Riehn said.

Murder Charges
Filed Against
Dallas Youth
Dallas, June 29 CD— A 17-
year-old Dallas youth has been
charged with murder without
malice in the traffic death of
a 10-year-old boy.
The charge is against Ron-
aly Barry Shafer and contends
he was speeding when his car
hit and killed George Freder-
ick Hanlin last February.
Police delayed filing the
charge because he was 16 at
the time of the accident. He
became 17 on June 2nd.
The Hanlin boy was killed
when he ran across a street
to keep two other boys from
teasing his sister. Police say
the boy’s body was carried 120
feet on the front of the car
and then thrown another 59
feet.
Shafer told police at the
time that he was driving about
35 miles an hour. Hut officers
say skid marks indicate he was
going .much faster than that.
Washington, June 29 Ifl —
President Kennedy has propos-
ed that a permanent U. S. dis-
armament agency be set up. It
would,have powers to draw up
disarmament plans, negotiate
and handle enforcement if an
international arms control
agreement is ever reached. The
proposal was sent to congress.
Administration aides say the
new U. S. agency —'the first
of its kind in the world—would
put emphasis on the importance
this country attaches to dis-
jirmsmnnt administration, now
operating in the State Depart-
ment under Kennedy’s special
adviser, John MeCloy.
The main idea is to create
a long-term agency to handle
a long-range problem—-how to
check the ever increasing arms
race. The President wants the
