says defense accusations that his alleged ing was a publicity hoax have cast doubt on his Integrity and forced him to cancel an engagement in Paris. The singer, 20, made his remarks Friday at an Impromptu news conference after his dismissal as a witness in the trial of three men accused of naping him. On trial are Bari-y Keenan, 23; Joseph Amsler, 23; and John Irwin, 42. They are accused of abducting the young singer from a Lake Tahoe motel last Dec. 8.

Sinatra was released 56 hours later near his mother's Bel-Air home after his father had paid $240,000 ransom. Young Sinatra said the cancellation in Paris had come during his recent European tour. "Those people over there apparently didn't believe the naping story," he said. "The seeds of doubt have been sawn on my integrity and guts and will stay with me for the rest of my life," he added. Asked why ho had cooperated with his abductors, Sinatra replied: "I didn't want to get killed." Sinatra appearance in court Friday lasted only 20 minutes.

When he was excu.sed and the jury dismised for the day, the court rebuked counsel for the defense; "You have abused the processes of the court in bringing this witne.ss here."

OTTAWA, ni. (AP) Leap Year Court was a busy place today as Ottawa's males were brought to accounting for their uncouth ways by an city administration.

The female administration didn't bother much about the ordinary humdrum aspects of city business. They were interested in stray males, or, as Mayor Joyce Haynes said, "giving them fair trials." Some 45 men appeared at the City Hall within a half hour of court opening, bringing their Leap Year summonses with them. There was a relay of lady judges ready to keep a marathon of trials going. Joan Lamb, wlio served first shift as magistrate, found all but one of the eariy defendants guilty nothing men in a woman's world. Police Chief Frank Maggie, said firmly he didn't think it was an ordinance violation to shave daily.

"Well," said the judge, "I think it must be perfectly awful. We'll let you argue your case later. Next case." As the court found man after man guilty, she said: "You are hereby directed to pay whatever guilty conscience dictates." The not-so-crestfallen culprits dropped their fines into a red and while box decorated wltli plastic hearts. Mayor Haynes said the money will be used to buy a mobile rescue unit for the city. Another Illinois dty, Aurora, has taken a leaf from the Leap Year book.

Here, men are tot crated by the lady administra' tors for a day, but not if they are bachelore. The smgle men were to bt brought to book in a special afternoon court ses.sion and ordered to shell out $3 for the Heart Fund and $2 for a Leap Year dance ticket.

New Sensation Of The Teen-Agers Plays It Cool Gets Year For Tax Evasion CHICAGO An attorney from suburban Northfield has been sentenced to a year in prison for income lax evasion. Paul H. Skidmore, 45, pleaded guilty Dec. 16. in U.

S. District Court to a charge of failure to pay taxes of $25,000 on earnings of 591,000 for 19561959. Sentence was hnposed Friday by Judge Richard B. Austin. HOLLYWOOD (AP) James Franciscus, who seems destined to be the new sensation of the teen-agers, is playing it cool, and with good reason.

He has seen what happens to teen-age sensations. Matter of fact, it happened to him when he was starring in the first season of "Naked City." He chanced to go skating one day in Central Park in New York. "Some girls recognized me and crowded around for my autograph," he recalled. "It was going all right until the manager told the girls to get off the rink. Then they were worried that tliey woiidn't get their turn, and they started grabbing at my collar, my tie, etc.

"When the mob scene was over, I was left standing with only my pants and my skates on." The same clamorous life faces Franciscus as star of "Mr. Novak," a television series witli built-in teen-age appeal. He plays a compassionate teacher of English in a high school. The teen crowd seems to like the series, and Franciscus, too. He gets the message when he goes on locations at local liigh schools.

That's as far as he wants to push his luck. "I lead a very quiet life," said Franciscus, who seeks no more mob scenes. Franciscus admitted that his wife didn't care much for his long working hours, but she understands the business. The Franciscuses have two young daughters. After the series had been sold out but before shooting began, Franciscus drew the lead in the movie, "Youngblood Hawke." I asked if he had any regrets about taking his second leap in to a series.

"None," he replied. "There still wouldn't ibe enough work for me in features. Perhaps there will be in two or three 'Mr. Novak' goes that long. I think the chances are pretty good."
