Court refuses Zimmer's plea
TOPEKA—(UFI)—The Kansas Supreme Court today denied a motion for a rehearing for William F. Zimmer, convicted of murder and kidnap of a Topeka g.rl.
Fairbanks hired as OU coach
Fairbanks was an assistant coach to Mackenzie.
The University of Oklahoma today named Chuck Fairbanks head football coach to replace Jim Mackenzie who died last Friday of an apparent heart attack.
He had been considered the top assistant to Mackenzie, who had only one season to work with the Sooners before death cut short his promising career.
The state high court April 8 upheld the conviction of the Kansas City, Kan., railroad engineer, for the 1964 slaying of Gladys Cora Johnson, a 7-year-old Topeka Negro girl.
Zimmer, 45, was sentenced to hang for the first-degree kidnapping conviction and sentenced to life imprisonment for the first-degree murder conviction.
T. I.E SHAWNEE County District Court jury found Zimmer guilty of the abduction and slaying. The girl was abducted from a Topeka street corner Nov. 14, 1964.
Zimmer was arrested in Marysville, Kan., Nov. 15, one day after the incident.
The court, in a lengthy, 48- page ruling, affirmed Zimmer's conviction but did not set a new execution date.
Zimmer is on death row at the Kansas State Penitentiary at Lansing awaiting execution.
The appeal was based on several legal questions, all of which the state high court ruled out when it handed down its decision last month.

Bill may outlaw flag desecration
A bill that would make it a crime to deliberately destroy or deface the American flag has been introduced to the U.S. Congress by Rep. Bob Dole (R-Kan.).
Violators of the bill, if enacted, would be subject to a $1,000 fine and a year in prison.
Dole said, "Public acts of flag desecration are increasing, and the lack of a uniform federal law against such displays is allowing offenders to go unprosecuted in many instances."
Hall thefts rise
With the arrival of Spring, thefts are on the rise again in University residence halls.
Students report thefts of everything from small personal belongings to $200 worth of clothing. Although money has been stolen, clothing appears to be the main loss.
In some cases, it is hard to tell what is stolen and what is lost, but students are being warned to take precautions to prevent any such incidents.
AT A SPECIAL floor meeting in one of the residence halls last night women were asked to keep their doors locked and to be careful about leaving their belongings around.
After the floor meeting, with the consent of all the women on the floor, each room was checked for stolen articles. The thefts on this floor have been particular articles, such as size 12 or 14 dresses and clothing in bright colors or greens.
Some of the women claim their rooms were locked at the time articles were stolen. One room has had the lock changed.
Although the thefts have been concentrated recently, authorities say thefts are always higher in the Spring and around Christmas time.
Even a teeter-totter'll do
Improvements have been made at the children's play area at Stouffer Place.
An old wooden crate has been added to the fenced-in play area, and two chains now dangle into the pen from the limb of a nearby tree.
But the grass is still uncut and the weeds are still knee-high to the four and five-year olds that play there.
New sandbox added
A new sandbox recently was added—in front of building 26, where manager George Catt lives.
"I really don't see what's so special about that one building," Mrs. Evans said, referring to the manager's building.
"There are a couple of other new boxes in front of some of the buildings, but not nearly enough," said Mrs. Myra Evans.
"Get rid of the animals"
Mrs. Evans said she could understand why the boxes were removed in the first place, but "why don't they get rid of the animals that cause
the problems? They aren't even supposed to be here."
Parents at Stouffer Place have been complaining loud and long about the lack of playground facilities for their children.
"If we just had a few swings, some sand, and even a teeter-totter, it would be a great improvement," Mrs. Evans said.
Tractor tire and chain swing
"At Southern Illinois University, where I used to study, each apartment for married couples had a swing set and a sandbox area. There was also a larger play area with many things the children could play on," said John Richardson, Mendota, Ill., graduate student in biology.
"My wife has complained many times about the lack of playing facilities." Richardson said.
The Richardsons recently bought an old tractor tire and filled it with sand so a few of the nearby children could play.
Richa-dson also hung two chains from the balcony of the apartment so his daughter could have a swing.
PLAYGROUND FOR STOUFFER CHILDREN
Instead of teeter-totters, there are wooden crates. Instead of swings and slides, there are sewer pipes. Instead of sand boxes, there are mud holes. This is the Stouffer playground.
