(Sun Photo) Juvenile law concern to all Decision to close or open records undecided here The question of whether information regarding juvenile records here in Gage County is open to the press is still unanswered as County Judge Harold Mattoon is on vacation. Yesterday County Attorney Merrell Andersen reported that he would recommend to Judge Mattoon that he issue an order to permit juvenile records still be open to news media. Juvenile law brings iflicting reactions. Story on Page 8 of today's paper.

In both Douglas and Lancaster Counties Juvenile Court Judges have already issued orders that such juvenile court records are open to the news med'a until further order of the court. The question on juvenile records came to light recently after a thorough investigation of LB 567 passed by the Legislature during the last session. New Law The third paragraph of the fifth section of this bill says: "Peace officers' records of children shall be kept separate from records of persons eighteen years of age or older and shall not be open to public inspection or- their contents disclosed to the public except by order of the juvenile County Attorney Andersen was contacted yesterday by The Sun to give his views on the legislative bill. Andersen said he would first check with Attorney General Clarence Meyer before making a statement. After calling Meyer, Andersen reported that Meyer had not been asked to give an opinion yet, but was giving the following advice: "If there is an investigation on a youngster under 18 years and no charges are filed, then it will be up to the discretion of the officer the information is available.

"If a criminal is filed, th's bill does not apply, said er. "But if a juvenile charge is filed, records must be closed except by the order of the court," added Meyer. Andersen then said he would tell the Gage Sheriff's office that they should not give out any information concerning youngsters under 18 years old. If there was a criminal charge for such a minor person, the news media could get information from the County Attorney's office. If there is a juvenile charge, then it will be up to the presiding Judge, said Andersen.

Sun's Policy The Sun's policy regarding information on persons being tried in Juvenile Court has been: to refrain from using the name of any individual charged with a juvenile offense. The age and sex of the youth is given along with the details of the offense, but the name is omitted. Both the press and the public has expressed interest that the previously passed law will permit youths under 18 to commit minor crimes without even parents or the public knowing about it. Many youngsters may be more apt to carry out such violations, if thev know that such an offense will not be publicized. BEATRICE CASH GRAIN Wheat, No.

Deserters swell ranks of invaders Haitian rebels push beyond Cap Haitien By BERNARD DIEDERICH SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic Leon Can- lave was reported leading his Haitian rebel invaders in a southwest thrust beyond Cap HaiUen today, apparently trying to cut off the north coast and northwest part of the Negro republic.

President Francois Duvalier airlifted at least 150 soldiers from Port Au Prince over the rebel lines to the vicinity of Cap Hai- tien, Associated Press correspondent Robert Berrellez reported from the Haitain capital. Ranks Grow The approximately 500 invaders, their ranks, reportedly swelled by Haitian army deserters, were said to be advancing in two columns after apparently de- c'ding against storming Cap Hallien, 90 miles north of Port Au Prince. An unconfirmed report said another rebel force had landed at St. Marc, a port about 40 miles northwest of Port Au Prince and due southwest of Cap Haitien, Haiti's second largest city, Duvalier is known to have a strong post at Hinche, an inland city midway between Port Au Prnce and Cap Ha'tien but separated from St. Marc by moun tains.

In Washington, the Council of the Organization of American States Tuesday ordered its special committee on the earlier Dominican-Haitian dispute to investigate Ha'Mi's new charges that the invaders came from the Dominican Republic. The nations share the island of Hispaniola. Arturo Calventi, Dominican ambassador to the OAS, told the council that Haitain charges were unfounded. Paul Verna, the invaders' spokesman in Santo Domingo, said earlier an island off the Haitian coast was the staging site for the invasion. However, a number of the officers of the invasion force had been living in Santo Domingo.

War Zone The DuvaJier regime declared northeast of the initial invasion war zone and imposed a nighttime curfew on Cap Haitien. Port Au Prince, Duvalier's stronghold, did not reflect war tensions, Berrellez reported in a censored dispatch. He said bars and cafes were open and thousands of Haitians strolled the streets as usual. The Haitian government radio warned Americans to pull out of the war zone, but the approximately 20 American families on sisal plantations near Phaeton were believed in no immediate danger. Reports reaching the U.S.

State Department said the Americans d'd not pull out. Glion Curtis U.S. charge d'affaires in Port Au Prince, advised the State Department he contacted, the families and "they seem to be experiencing no problem as the result of any military operations in the vicinity." Baby's life depends on death of another DENVER, Colo. (AP) A 10- month-old Scottsbluff child's only chance to live is for some other child to die. Nancy Joanne Schuldies lies in tier crib at Colorado Genera) Hospital where her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Jake Schuldies, hope and pray. Doctors said the child was born without ducts in her by which body fluids and sub- tances are conveyed. Nancy Joanne's only hope is for the transplant of a healthy liver from another child doomed to die from some other ailment. The donor cannot be older than three years.

"It's terrible to think that the only chance for my baby is to Find another child which is going to die," said Mrs. Schuldies Tuesday, "but I can only pray that we do find parents of such a child somewhere who will understand." Republicans 'can't afford not to sign treaty' WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republicans have assessed the political implications of the limited nuclear test ban treaty and most are expected to wind up v.ting for its ratification. 'Can't Afford Not An influential Republican senator, who asked not to be quoted ay name, said he and a majority of his colleagues have reached the conclusion that "we can't afford politically to vote against this treaty." "There are number of risks that I don't like to see us take as a nation," he said. "But if the Joint Chiefs of Staff say that, oo balance, it is acceptable-tod. I believe they won't have any choice but to support it." He attributed this in part to what he called the "mother vote," women who have feared that nuclear fallout might result in deformed children and who believe the treaty may eliminate this danger.

As a result, the senator said, after extensive hearings beginning Monday he expects to see opposition virtually collapse. Democratic leaden have said they are confident of getting the necessary support of two-thirds of those voting. But they have been wooing GOP backing in order to attain overwhelming approval Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois said he has had 5,000 letters, divided equally for and against ratification. Dirksen told a news conference he had the Senate Republican Policy Committee staff poll the administrative assistants of 42 senators.

He said the staff found 20 whose mail favored ratification, 14 whose mail opposed it and 8 evenly divided. He said he had the survey made because of news stories saying White House mail was "lopsidedly" in favor of the treaty. Dirksen has delayed taking any stand on ratification. Among 32 Republicans, Dirksen said the mail was 14 to 12 favorable to the treaty, with 6 reporting a standoff. Among Democrats, he said the mail of six favored the treaty, that of two was opposed and that of two evently divided.

More Support The Republican leader said reaction ranged from 12-1 support of the treaty in a Democrat's mail to 9-1 against in one Republican's mail. He declined to identify any of the senators, involved or to give their geographical location. Another senator said, that most of the opposition mail was coming from the Midwest and Rocky Mountain Four persons killed in pair of accidents UNANIMOUS Armed forces pay increase approved By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON WASHINGTON (AP)-The Senate has approved unanimously a pay raise for practically everyone in the armed forces except re- emits, apprentice seamen and privates with less than two years service. The measure, which would increase military payrolls more than 1.2 billion a year, goes to the House, which has passed a similar but slightly less generous bill.

Cut Red Tape Usually a Senate-House conference committee works out differences between similar bills. But Sen. Howard W. Cannon, who steered the pay raise through the Senate Tuesday by an 84-0 vote, said he hopes a conference will not be necessary this time and that the House will accept the Senate bill. The decision on what the House will do probably rests with Rep.

Carl Vinson, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who rules with a firm hand. The Senate and House bills would provide increases to most active duty personnel, to reservists and National Guardsmen and to those drawing military retirement pay. The Senate version would cost $1,227,330,000 a year, about $5 million more than that of the House. The the first since would begin Oct. 1 under the Senate bill.

Under the Senate bill, enMsted men would get boosts of $5 to $120 monthly. Raises for officers would range from $60 to $120 monthly. The Senate and House bills would provide similar increases for the U.S. Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic Survey and Public base their schedules. would cost the taxpayers an additional $30,084,000 annually.

Both would provide the largest dollar and percentage raises for lieutenants, captains, majors and lieutenant colonels among officers and corporals, sergeants and other skilled technicians in the enlisted grades. Other Boosts But the Senate bill would apply some of these boosts to young officers and noncoms with less than two years service and give them larger increases at times in their careers when they face the decision of re-enlisting or returning to civilian life. FALL THISTLE SPRAYING IS ELIMINATED Gage ASC Chairman, Clyde Rathbun, that as a result of die small amount of ACP funds available for conservation practices for the remainder of the year, no ACP cost sharing will be available for spraying nodding thistle this fall. Rathbun said that the practice las been included in the Gage County program for the past two years but in view of the limited unds it is considered necessary to utilize these funds for permanent type practices such as waterways and terraces. The House version would limit pay increases to active personnel with more than two years service.

Its theory was that mnny short termers arc merely serving out an obligation resulting from the draft. Approved for the first time by both Senate and Mouse is an extra $55 a month for any officer or enlisted man on ookl war duty who is subject to enemy fire or similar hazard in such places as Viet Nam and South Korea.
