PAGE 6 SANDUSKY REGISTER SEPT. 28, 1967 More About 'My Place' (Continued from Page 1) eement on the matter and commissioners moved to refer the matter to City Solicitor John Lehrer. Mitch's place is a teenage hangout. He admits it, and he's proud of it. "Sure, the kids come in here, have a Coke and a pizza," he said, "maybe they play a little pool or the pinball machine, but they don't cause any wouble and they're good kids." AT ANY RATE, Mitch isn't getting rich from one quarter- a-game pool table and a single 10-cent pinball machine.

He gets 50 per cent of the take. Last month that amounted to about $55, he says. "Those are in here just for the entertainment of the customers while they're waiting for their food," he explained. pool tournament on his table, week's supply of pizza to the MITCH HAS organized a The stakes: a trophy and a winner. There are 16 entries.

As far as the motorcycle gangs go, Mitch says somebody is exaggerating. "There's only one kid coming in here regularly that has a bike," he said, "and he comes in for lunch." HE SAYS the only noise at night comes from people, mostly kids, walking from their cars to his front door and back. "Maybe they're slamming their car doors too loud," he said, "but there sure aren't any motorcycles running around here." Mitch can't understand the complaints about his late hours, either. "WHEN I FIRST opened up," he explained, "This place was advertised in the Register and on my sign as a 24-hour delicatessen. Now we're open from 10:30 a.m.

to 3 a.m. By the time we clean up and go home, it's usually 4 a.m." He serves soft drinks, milk, etc. Some kids owe Mitch money he lets them charge things. "I SET MAYBE a 75-cent or a buck limit on how much they can charge," he said, "and they think it's a great status thing to come in with their friends, order a Coke, and say 'Hey, Mitch, charge it." And they always pay at the end of the week. I don't let them charge any more than their jobs or allowances will let them." Mitch admits a chance on getting stung, but thinks he's helping teach the kids responsibility.

"They get credit, then pay their debts," he notes, "what better way it there to learn? That's what it's like." MITCH'S clientele isn't all teen-agers. Some of his best customers are in grade school. He has a complete shelves of penny candy. "I've had people tell me," he said pointing to his candy counter, "that there's stuff in there they haven't seen for years." His biggest seller, though, is pizza. "I'M NOT bragging," he beamed, "but I've got the best pizza in town." If the city decides Mitch shouldn't sell food except for carry-out his business is done, he says.

Although he's been condemned by some as a public nuisance, he's getting support from others. MITCH AND his wife have an eight-year-old son. The boy sometimes helps out around the store. Mitch doesn't know what he's going to do next. "It's their move," he said, "I don't know what's happening.

I do know that if they close me up, I'm through. Everything I own is here." More About Taylor Road (Continued from Page 1) would ask the state about feasibility of a plan proposed Commissioner Wilson McLaughlin to vacate Taylor Road close to the intersection. THE PLAN was endorsed by County Engineer M. W. Bechberger, who said "all we need is a one-foot strip to put the barricade on." McLaughlin explained his proposal, saying, "a 1 one-to- five foot vacation will answer the purpose to get the lights up." Zeiher, obviously pleased with the action, said, "I'm happy the board is reconsidering the action vacating Taylor Road, on behalf of the trustees." THE RECONSIDERED tion means the commissioners will now have to establish a new hearing date to receive testimony on the vacation of the road.

Commissioner William Swain, who instigated the Monday decision to leave Taylor Road open, lamented that the early decision was based only on testimony given by residents at the Monday hearing. Those testifying were mostly businesses would be affected by the road's closing. Bechberger countered, "If you got all those people in here that want a light, you'd have a hell of a lot of people." Swain agreed, but emphasized the importance of giving the businessmen a chance to testify at the new hearing. More About St. Paul (Continued from Page 1) ister this morning, "We still have a few contracts to work out before we can say anything definite about our joining or not joining." THE FIRELAND'S Conference presently consists of Black River School, Hillsdale, Mapleton, Milan, Monroeville, South Central, Western Reserve and Berlin Heights.

Clyde Man Injured In Fremont Crash FREMONT A rural Clyde resident required treatment for injuries after his auto rammed into a cement culvert early yesterday morning. THOMAS Bard, 38, Clyde, was treated for lacerations of the head and right leg and multiple abrasions at Fremont Memorial Hospital and released. Officers of the Fremont Highway Patrol Post said Bard was driving east on Rt. 6 when he apparently fell asleep and his auto went off the road colliding with the culvert. He was taken to the hospital by his wife, according to the patrol.

A SANDUSKY resident escaped injury when his car rolled onto its side in another accident investigated Wednesday by the Fremont Post. Jeffery.R.

No citation was issued although a patrol spokesman said Smith was apparently driving too fast to negotiate the curb with his small foreign car. mm HUD "My folks keep asking me what's 'in' so they can get the jump on their own generation!" Republicans Have Grip On Johnson Spending WASHINGTON (UPI) Republican forces, backed by a majority of the House, held an economy ax over the government today and threatened to drop the way Saturday. VOTING AS a solid minority block, they picked up enough Democratic votes Wednesday to order a cut of at least $5 billion and possibly as $8.7 billion in Johnson's spending the current fiscal No Riot Conspiracy, Senate Says WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate investigators, searching the nation's ghettos for the cause of this summer's riots, have found no evidence of a nationwide conspiracy, it was learned today. THEIR FINDINGS backed up the appraisal of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who told the President's special advisory commission on civil disorders that the riots that swept the nation's cities were not the result of a conspiracy.

What the Senate investigations have found, after painstaking research, is that the black power militants are "loosely in touch," according to a source close to the inquiry. The Senate permanent investigating subcommittee, under Chairman John L. McClellan, was assigned to conduct the major congressional probe of the riots. The Subcommittee was ordered to make an interim report Oct. 2.

THE INVESTIGATION, however, is still in a preliminary stage and the report will be in the nature of a progress account rather than detailed substantive findings. The subcommittee has pinpointed over 140 cities where one or more incidents of racial violence occurred. The investigators plan to look into more than 60 of them. Mastermind Of Famous Political Crime Is Dead Tuberculosis Hospitals Named COLUMBUS (UPI) State Health Director Emmett W. Arnold has designated eight hospitals to care for the Buckeye State's tuberculosis patients.

Twelve were named a year ago. They are Lowman Pavilion and Sunny Acres, Cleveland; Benjamin Franklin, Columbus: Dunham, Cincinnati 1 William W. Roche, Toledo; Ottawa Valley, Lima; Ohio State University and Nelsonville. The hospitals at Ohio State University and Nelsonville are operated by the state. The hospitals dropped are Stillwater, Dayton; Mahoning, Youngstown; Molly Star, Canton and Edwin Shaw, Akron.

much as President plans for year. To make the threat stick, they used as their vehicle an emergency money bill that Johnson must sign by Saturday night to keep most government agencies open for business and paying their bills. DEMOCRATIC leaders, stunned by the 202-182 roll call sending the money bill back to the Appropriations Committee, huddled on plans to temper the economy directive, either on a second go-round in the House or falling that, in the Senate. They saw no hope to reverse it. The vote reflected growing reluctance of to act on President Johnson's proposed $7.4 billion tax boost without assurance that non defense spending will be cut by something tlose to the amount of.

the proposed extra tax. SIGNIFICANTLY, one of the 34 Democrats voting for the economy move was Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, of the Ways Means Committee, where the tax bill has been stalled. The administrtion has promised spending cuts on its own, but has talked in erms of $2 billion. Its latest figures showed a projected outlay of about $144.2 billion, with a record deficit for the year of about $29 billion.

Wednesday's House mandate, if sustained, would limit spending to $131.5 billion, but any military increases beyond the officially projected $72.3 billion would not count in the total. The $144.2 billion estimate is reported to include about $4 billion in that defense category. So in effect, the required cut would total $8.7 billion. In any event, under the House mandate, the President would be ordered to turn back to the Treasury at least $5 billion of the funds appropriated by Congress for the year's operations. PARIS (UPI)-Prince Felix Youssoupoff, mastermind of one of history's most famous political assassination of Russia's "mad monk" Rasputin 51 years Wednesday night.

He was 80. He was, by his own admission, the principal party in a group who poisoned, clubbed and shot the monk who held a mystic sway over the czar and czarina. It was a desperate attempt to ward off the Russian Revolution. But shortly after the monk was lured to the prince's apartment and killed, the flames of revolt swept the country and brought in Communist rule. The prince had lived in the sedate Auteuil district of Paris since 1939.

With him when the end came, after a long illness, was his wife, Princess Irina Alexandrovna of Russia, a cousin of the last czar, Nicholas II. Services Saturday Graveside services were scheduled to be held Saturday morning at the Russian Orthodox cemetery of vie've-des bois. Youssoupoff was born March 11, 1887, in St. Petersburg (now Leningrad). He was educated at Oxford.

He married Princess Irina in St. Petersburg in 1914, less than three years before the tragedy which emblazoned his name in the pages of history forever. Gregory Yefimovich Rasputin, an ignorant Siberian-born monk, was looked upon by Czar Nicholas' wife and other members of the Russian royal court as a mystic who was called the "saviour." Youssoupoff and several other Russian noblemen, fearing putin's evil influence on the imperial family, decided to get rid of the "mad monk." Rasputin was invited to a supper at Youssoupoff's palace on Dec. 15 (Dec. 28 on the new calendar), 1916, under the pretext of presenting him to Youssoupoff's beautiful Poison Falls After an attempt to poison him with a strong dose of potassium cyanide, which seemed to have no affect on Rsputin, off drew a pistol in a burst of panic and shot the bearded monk at point blank range.

But Rasputin did not die. Mortally wounded, he staggered from the palace cellar into the courtyard, where he was eventually shot by another of the conspirators. His body was thrown immediately into the icy canal. Prince Youssoupoff fled to the Crimea, and, after the revolution to France where he was successively a fashion manager, a restauranteur and a French- language writer. Last year although partially paralyzed and almost blind, he served as technical consultant for a successful film, "I Killed Rasputin," made by Russian- born French Director Robert Hossein, based on Youssoupoff's book of the same name.

U.S. Plans Hike In Nuclear Power WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States is planning a five to ten-fold increase in the nuclear striking power it can direct at the Soviet Union, authoritative government sources said today. The increase is scheduled to take place over the next few years with the deployment of "multiple warhead" missiles both land-based and launched. According to U.S. planners, it will mean that either United States will be able to destroy five to ten times more targets in the Soviet Union than it can now; U.S.

missiles will be able to penetrate Soviet Anti- Ballistic Missile defenses five to ten times heavier than can now be penetrated. These figures are Two Break-Ins Hit Vermilion Quads Lose Fight For Lite FUKUOKA, Japan (UPI)-All four of the tiny girl quadruplets born here Sunday lost their brief struggle for life Wednesday. The four daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Takeshi Munakata died over a period of 13 hours reportedly because of respiratory ailments.

VERMILION An undetermined amount of cash was stolen here last night by thieves who broke four windows into the Baker-Ford Garage on Liberty Avenue. A cash tray was found on the floor of the office by an employe when he arrived this morning. A bookkeeper for the garage, who refused to identify herself, said the exact amount would not be known until the cash receipts were checked. The thieves left by a rest- room window in the rear of the building. In a similar break last night at the Crow Lumber Liberty Avenue, an air- conditioning unit was damaged by thieves who gained entry through the window where the unit was placed.

Arthur Crow, owner of the company, said this morning an inventory would have to be taken to determine if anything had been stolen. Vermilion police are investigating both thefts. Man 'Fairly Good- After Truck Upsets PORT CLINTON-A Michigan man is described in "fairly good" condition at Magruder Hospital this morning after his truck overturned yesterday.

15 may be the next step in a contract dispute between the nation's railroads and six shopcraft unions following a breakoff of talks Wednesday Negotiators for the two sides failed to reach agreement on terms dictated by a special White House panel working under the October deadline When the five-man panel, headed by Sen. Wayne Morse, recommended the settlement on Sept 15, the railroads labeled the $158 million proposal as "excessive and inflationary." Both sides said Wednesday no further talks were anticipated and one union spokesman said the next step would be enforcement of the government! proposal. J. Handly Wright, spokesman for the railroads, said he knew of no plans for the carriers to appeal the compulsory settlement to the courts. The two-year "contract proposed by the arbitration panel would be retroactive to Jan.

Some 137,000 members of railroad unions will receive benefits of the settlement. illustrations, not exact limits. But they show clearly that U.S. offensive strategic nuclear power will, in a few years, jump into an entirely new order of magnitude.

The United States now has 1,000 land-based Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMS) and 656 Polaris missile launchers carried aboard 41 submarines, representing more than 1,600 missile warheads which could be hurled at the Soviet Union. A five to ten-fold increase in these (leaving bombers out of the equation) would mean a mind-staggering 8,000 to 16,000 warheads. This, is expected to become possible through development of what the Pentagon calls "Multiple Independent Re-entry Ve- rousK or MIRV rougn A MIRV missile( at the Soviet Union, would separate into many warheads, each aimed at a different target. The targets could be several hundred miles apart. There has been no official statement on when MIRV will be operational.

A MTRV- equipped Minuteman III is expected to be ready within a very years. It is still in research and has not yet been test launched.
