Search Continues For Deaf-Mute Boy
TOPEKA—(UPI)The search for a 12-year-old deaf-mute child, who disappeared Saturday from an institution for afflicted children, was continuing today.
Pence patrolmen were continuing to check leads in the hunt for John Relihan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Terry Relihan of Smith Center.
John was discovered missing from the Kansas Neurological Institute near Topeka about 5:45 p.m. Saturday. The search for John has twice been shut down due to darkness.
John was a patient in the Institute's Sequin Section, one of the units which cares for retarded children. He does not have full use of his right side and finds it necessary to walk with a severe limp.
The boy's parents arrived yesterday and stayed close to the institute's engineering building, which was established as a search headquarters.
Temperatures both nights the child has been gone have been below freezing. Sunday's low was 15 degrees.
Search officials described the boy as four feet tall, weighing 66 pounds. He is wearing blue jeans, a green T-shirt, a peacoat and sneakers.
Officials doubted that the boy had been picked up by a motorist. As soon as a motorist found the boy to be retarded he surely would turn him over to police, they said hopefully.
The search yesterday was concentrated in an area bounded roughly by the Kansas River, Lake Shawnee, a creek, and the Kansas Turnpike.
Mrs. Reilhan told officials when asked if he would hide during the day and roam at night, "he likes to be alone . . . but he wouldn't hide."
The boy came to the Institute in November of 1961 after four years as a patient in another institution. His mother said he left the grounds twice before. He was located at a nearby hospital the first time and another time he was found at a neighboring shopping center.
Officials doubted that the boy ran away. More likely, they said, he left the grounds out of curiosity and got lost.
Chicago Faculty 'No' to Rockwell
CHICAGO — (UPI) — American Nazi leader George Lincoln Rockwell's scheduled appearance on the University of Chicago campus tomorrow has brought a protest from faculty members.
Teachers from the divinity school and the departments of political science, economics and history told University President George Beadle in a letter Saturday it would be "a grave mistake" to let Rockwell speak.
The self-styled American fuhren was invited to speak by students of a men's dormitory, and university officials said they would not interfere.
