Jury Boosts Road Award by $9MO An award of $29,000 for 8.08 acres of land just east of Beloit, including a two-family dwelling and other buildings, was made to Robert Branigan, Beloit, the owner, by a Circuit Court jury here Wednesday evening. The verdict concluded a two-day trial. The verdict reported to Judge Arthur L. Luebke at 7 p.m.

said that the jury placed a value of $186,000 on the 212-acre tract along Highway 15 at the east edge of Beloit, and decided that after the new four-lane divided pavement to connect to Interstate Highway 90 had been built, the value was reduced to $157,000. The difference is the amount of compensation Branigan may collect from the State Highway Commission. The verdict is $9,000 higher than the original offer of $20,000 made to Branigan by the state. The case went to the jury at 3:45 p.m. Procedure Is Different The proceedings in the case were different from other highway condemnations here in recent years, in that Branigan exercised an alternative right to appeal the state's offer directly to the.court for jury trial, avoiding the usual intermediate steps.

The property was officially taken over by the state on Dec. 4, 1958. Witnesses for Branigan testified to values ranging from $254,400 to $312,500 before taking, and $215, 000 to $267,960 after, giving the range of damages from $39,400 to $44,540. The state witnesses placed their before-taking at $140,500 to $155,000, and after at $119,000 to $135,000, thus figuring damages of $20,000 to $21,500. New Case Started Herbert Lipke, owner of property along the new route of Highway 26 at Milton, was the first on the witness stand Thursday morning in his appeal from an award for right-of-way there, Lipke owns a 120-acre farm on the Milton- Harmony Township line, and also a 14-acre outlet within the Milton village limits.

Both are affected by the routing of the new highway, Jacob Geffs, attorney for the landowner, in an opening statement to the jury said that he expects to show total probable damages of about $15,000. Howard Moss is special counsel for the county highway committee, and stressed the fact that this is a Rock County case as opposed to the usual federal-state highway cases. The opening statements indicated that 1 acre was taken for highway out of the 14-acre outlot, and .8 acres severed; and that 4,75 acres were utilized from the main farm, with a 9.24 parcel severed by the new road. The property was taken Aug. 2S, 1959.

Lipke, opening his testimony, said that he had lived on the farm for the past 48 years, and quoted crop yields in support of his contention that his is good farm land. List of Jurors Jurors in the Lipke case are: Vera S. Goldschmidt, Fred 0. Hubert, Beloit; Gwendolyn Everill, Jay Brink, Evansville; Mae E. Hitchcock, Helen Radke, Edgerton; Walter Slawson, 133 Jefferson Harold Westphal, 409 Center Edna Furchow, 1020 Glen Janesville; Dorothy Lloyd, Rte.

1, Janesville; Harris Allen, Archie Striegl, Milton Junction. The Lipke case is expected to be the last for the November term Circuit Court jury. A new jury will come in following the opening of the March term here. Meanwhile, the usual motion and default hearings will be held by Judge Luebke next Monday, and in the afternoon he will go to Jefferson to call the calendar officially opening the spring term for that county. The Rock County term opens March 20.

Wheat Problem Is Key Issue WASHINGTON (AP)-The Ken nedy administration will face one of its key tests when it seeks to put across new legislation on wheat, generally considered to be the No.

1 farm problem. It is not clear yet just what program President Kennedy wif propose to Congress to ease wheat surpluses which are continuing to mount year by year. But it is clear that a major fight will shape up in Congress on new wheat legislation. A task force report to Kennedy said wheat legislation early this year is essential. It said this should be passed by May 15 to be effective for the 1962 wheat crop.

At his news conference Wednesday Kennedy said a message on the wheat problem would be sent to Congress in February. The task force report on wheat is patterned rather closely to rec ommendations made last year by the National Association of Wheat Growers. This report recommends that wheat production be reduced be low actual use both domestically and for exports and that the difference be made up by drawing on the present huge stocks of about iVi billion bushels. The Agriculture Departm would then set the price at which wheat would be sold from the gov ernment inventory. The effect of this would be to make that the prevailing price on the market.

This would eliminate any need of raising the price level. The report recommends, along with strict planting controls, that wheat lands taken out of production be put into the soil bank. Under present law wheat is supported at 75 per cent of parity on a national acreage allotment of 44 million acres. Becomes Citizen Riter 50 Years DENVER, Colo.

Milwaukee St. PL 2-5327 Crimes (Continued from Page 1) boxes from parked semitrailers in South Beloit. The same night they stole two tires from a South Beloit garage, a tire and wheel from a parked car in Beloit, and a tire from a garage in Beloit where his companion had once worked as a painter. Kenneth said that in November he and two companions stole two spare tires from parked trailers at Rockton and a spare tire from a semi parked in Beloit the same night. Just before Christmas he and two other companions stole four hubcaps from a car owned by Dean Willard, Riverside Park.

He also admitted theft of a spare tire from a semi parked at Delavan and three more in Beloit the same night, Strunz, who has told detectives that he drove the car the night of the Footville break-in in August, is also implicated in other matters, Simon said at noon today. Strunz admitted that he did not have a driver's license at the time. Although detectives were quite sure some of those arrested were involved in some of the crimes, they had not been able to obtain any definite information until last Monday. Chased at High Speed About 3:30 p.m. Monday Deteo lives Howard Hoye and Archie Di' vine spotted a car on County Trunk traveling south at a high rate ol speed.

They gave chase but while the five occupants of the car looked back at the flashing red light on the squad car, the driver did not slow down until he started having trouble keeping his car on the road at 85 miles an hour. When stopped, the driver, Victor Passon, told deputies he was trying to get across the Illinois state line because he had out-run squad cars six times before. His driver's license was revoked some time ago, deputies learned. The two detectives recognized Passon and several of his companions and brought them in for questioning. Ultimately part of the group began to talk after detectives let them know a little about what they knew of some of the incidents.

"One of the just cracked a minute ago," Simon said at noon today, "and if he really starts clearing his conscience we may be listening all day." Capelle had high praise for the detective bureau.

Medical Student Needs Average, H'i-Y Told To consider medicine for one's a student should have a good average, Dr, Francis Russo, Pember-Nuzum Clinic, told the '61 Hi-Y Club members Tuesday evening. A "professional series" of programs has been arranged for the club of boys who will be graduated in June. Dr. Russo emphasized that eariy marriage, before educational training is completed, would present problems for the medical student. "Medicine needs men who want to be doctors, not someone whom others think would be a good doctor," he said.

The first year of college is a continuation of the processes of maturing, according to Dl-. Russia who cautioned boys that the lege in which they will receivt their training sljould be given a great deal of consideration, Harry O'Leary, Janesville attorney, opened the series last week discussing the legal profession.

Call Hearing on Uniform Accident Report Forms 'MADISON (AP)-The Assembly Highway Committee decided Wednesday to summon supporters and opponents of a bill requiring local law enforcement agencies to submit uniform accident reporting forms to the state to a showdown hearing next week. The measure has been strongly opposed by representatives of local Wisconsin law enforcement groups. However, two committee members said they have found "spokesmen" for these groups on both sides of the issue. "I want to clear up why people from the same groups differ on this bill," said Assemblyman Robert Huber, D-West Allis. Assemblyman Clifford Dorr, D- Chippewa Falls, said he attended a meeting of the Northwest Peace Officers Association and found the members do not agree with what their representatives previously had told the committee.

Would Clear Issue Chairman Hugh Harper, R-Lancaster, agreed to summon members of organizations both for and against the bill to a hearing next Wednesday to clear up the issue. The committee delayed action on two bills to raise the Wisconsin speed limit to "5 miles an hour on four-lane highways for both cars and trucks. Several safety spokesmen told the committee that the new interstate highways should have a minimum speed limit as well as a higher maximum. "A slow-poke driver is also a menace," said Lawrence Teich of Milwaukee, a spokesman for the American Automobile Association. He supported a trial 70-mile maximum in the state.

Other Bills Favored The committee recommended for passage a measure to prohibit hindering mail delivery by parking within 20 feet of a group of rural mail boxes. It also recommended for passage a bill to prohibit drivers from using parking lights only while driving when visibility is poor. Indefinitely postponed was a bill to make train crews liable to fines if a train blocks a crossing more than eight minutes. Railroad and union representatives said such a bill would seriously hinder freight operations.
