Atonal Piano Gives Out Notes of $9,000 Purity
LAFAYETTE, Ind. — (UPI) — The old piano was ugly and cumbersome. It's finish was cracked and checked from age. When you hit a key, it sounded something like a spoon on a battered dishpan.
Wilted Tull of Kokomo, Ind., a piano tuner, and Herbert H. Heltzel, manager of a music store, shook their heads in dismay as they started to dismantle the ancient upright to see if it was worth reconditioning.
Inside, the piano was dusty. It also was musty, and the felts were frowsy. And there were some parcels that one ordinarily doesn't find in pianos.
"Someone left a stale sandwich down here," said Tull as he stopped and picked up a neatly wrapped package.
Helizel opened it and out fell a stack of bills.
Tull looked again and discovered more packages. All together they yielded $9,090 in currency, some of
it issued as long ago as the 1900's, some rare coins and some iowelry.
Heltzel took the cache to a bank for saunakeeping, closed his shop for the rest of the day, then contacted the former owner of the piano, a widower. Heltzel learned the money apparently was hidden in the piano by the man's late wife "years ago, over a period of time."
"This represented the life savings of these people," Heltzel said today. "He knew the money was hidden somewhere, but he never found it. If we had sold the piano for junk, we would never have found it."
Heltzel said the money was turned over to the man because "there was no doubt of ownership." Tull received a reward of undisclosed proportions. Both he and Heltzel abided by the owner's fervent plea to remain unidentified.
"You might say that had a happy ending," Heltzel said. "We are happy we were a part of it. But I sure don't want to go through this again."
Review Changes Announced
Changes in the size of casts, lengths of skits, and judging were announced Sunday at a Rock Chalk policy meeting.
Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission junior and Rock Chalk producer, explained the new policies to representatives of living groups interested in participating in Rock this year.
The changes include a limit of 40 actors to the cast and a time limit of 18 minutes for each skit. It was decided that if any particular skit lasts more than 20 minutes, it can receive no higher award than an "honorable mention." In previous years there was no limit on the
Anti-Subversive Clause Dropped
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Kennedy today approved a bill dropping an anti-subversive affidavit as a requirement for teachers and students who receive loans and grants from the National Science Foundation or under the National Defense Education Act.
Previously the law required that any scientist, teacher or student applying for federal loans and grants sign an affidavit declaring he did not believe in, belong to, or support any organization which believed in or taught overthrow of the U.S. government by force or illegal method.
The legislation approved by the President dropped this provision. It substituted a new one making it illegal for anyone to apply for or receive such a loan if he is a member of a Communist organization registered under the Subversive Activity Control Act.
In a special statement, Kennedy said that the affidavit requirement had led 32 colleges to refuse to participate in the student loan program under the National Defense Education Act.
Undesirables Sent North
HONG KONG — (UPI) — Communist authorities in Kwangtung Province have sent "thousands" of suspected Nationalist sympathizers, unemployed workmen, former landlords, retired soldiers and wealthy farmers to Manchuria and the Northwestern Provinces, the Tiger Standard newspaper said today.

size of the casts, but a time limit of 15 minutes has existed for the past three years.
Of seven judges, four will be "wild card" judges who will determine if the skit has fulfilled the appetite of the audience in humor and satire.
Each of these judges the individual skits on a 70-points-possible basis.
The other three judges will observe technical aspects such as choreography, singing, sets, props, lighting, and make-up. These judges will award the skirts up to 15 points on choreography and 15 points on all other aspects of the technical side of the production.
Last year there were only three judges.
Whitman also noted the Rock Chalk policy on plagiarism. If any part of the skit is borrowed, the writer must receive credit for his work.
Whitman said that the technical judgges would be qualified in their areas of judging but that "wild card" judges would not necessarily be qualified in drama since their primary judgement is concerned with audience reaction.

PASADENA — (UPI) — Scientists said yesterday data received from America's Ranger 3 lunar spacecraft revealed that intensity of radioactive gamma rays in interplanetary space may be 10 times greater than expected.
Tickets may be purchased at the Murphy box office-$1 for single admissions and 50 cents for students with ID cards. No reservations will be taken.
The findings of the Ranger 3, launched Jan. 26, were reported by officials at Caltech's jet propulsion laboratory (JPL) just two days before the scheduled launching of Ranger 5 on another exploratory mission to the moon.
JPL SCIENTISTS said if the findings of Ranger 3 are verified by Ranger 5—scheduled to be fired from Cape Canaveral tomorrow—it will indicate interplanetary space is permeated by large numbers of gamma rays possessing relatively high energy.

CITADEL RECORD CLUE

WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara has withheld from Congress since July the results of a critical study of the controversial 2,000-mile-an-hour RS-70 warplane, according to Rep. Leslie C. Arends, R-III.
Arends is the top-ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, which unanimously voted early this year to "direct" McNamara to speed development of the plane, but then settled for a compromise calling for a new study.
McNamara in Hot Water Over New RS-70 Warplane
ARENDS SAYS McNamara now apparently intends to "study" the plane to death.
The congressman issued a cuastic statement through his office here yesterday noting that "the distinguished Secretary of Defense has gained a reputation for making fast and firm decisions.
"The delaying tactics with respect to the RS-70 have badly tarnished that reputation." Arends said. Maybe, he said, McNamara made too fast a decision in the first place and now intends to stand firm against speeding up the pland regardless of military and congressional opinion.
Interviewers Seek Chemistry Ph.D's
The chemistry department at the University of Kansas is host to personnel interviewers from five corporations this week.
Dr. Calvin A. VanderFerf, department chairman,manuscript the interview pace to continue at the rate of one a day. Each interviewer this week is interested in men and women who are candidates for the FhD. in chemistry. This represents the highest level of graduate study.
KU soon will confer about 20 doctorates in chemistry this year. While this is $ 2^{1/2} $ times the number given 10 years ago, it is still small compared to the demand for high level graduates, Dr. VanderWerf said.

"THERE IS NO REASON, except possibly political, why the Secretary of Defense could not have advised Congress in July as to the findings and recommendations" of the Air Force after the new study of the plane was made, Arends contended. He said now that Congress has adjourned "nothing can be done" about the RS-70 program.

President Kennedy asked Congress last winter for $171 million to continue a program calling for three of the planes, then called B70 and envisioned as bombers. Total cost of the program over a period of years will be $1.3 billion.

After listening to McNamara's and the Air Force's testimony on the plane's potentialities, the House Armed Services Committee sided 100 per cent with the Air Force and voted to order McNamara to expand and hasten the development program.
Ph. VI 3-2091
813 Mass.
THE COMMITTEE AIM was to build six experimental planes, and more importantly to get set for full production of the plane in a supersonic reconnaissance-strike version.
Kennedy intervened with the powerful Committee chairman, Carl Vinson, D-Ga., and forestalled a House vote on "ordering" McNamara to expand the RS-70 program. The Pentagon promised a new study of the complicated electronics equipment the plane would need, which McNamara claimed was too advanced for American technology at present and which the Air Force claimed could be made.
Congress meanwhile appropriated $191.6 million more than Kennedy asked for the plane. fl
