wWV rv; (o i- 1 I 5- The Minneapolis Stair WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1964 Sanatorium Labeled Unsuitable for Girls Officer's Slayer Sentenced to Life Term Auburn Hare, 32, was convicted of first degree murder today and sentenced to life imprisonment for the shooting of a Minneapolis police officer last Dec. 15. In addition Hare pleaded guilty to third degree murder for the shooting of the woman he was living with at 3025 Portland andwas sentenced to 25 years onthat count. Hennepin District Judge Tom Bergin, who tried Hare without a jury at the defendant's request, found Hare guilty of the first degree charge. Hare, a professional guitar player and native of Earl, had contended he was not guilty of first degree murder, because premeditation is required for the charge, although he admitted shooting Patrolman James Hendricks and Mrs.

Agnes Winje, 49. Following Hare's conviction on the first degree count, his attorney, Kermit A. Gill, said his client would plead guilty to a reduced charge of third degree murder for the slaying of Mrs. Winje. County Attorney George M.

Scott said there was no legal reason to accept the plea on the reduced charge, but for practical reasons he would not oppose the move. Hendricks was shot three times when he entered the Portland Av. apartment. He and his partner had been called there on a report there had been a shooting.

Will Turnbladh, Minnesota urged that Hennepin County develop "group foster homes" for both boys and girls and to construct and operate a local training school for girls. In a letter to Mrs. I. G. Scott, Hennepin County commissioner and chairman of the County Welfare Board, Turnbladh said his depart ment is very much in terested" in the development of a wider variety of state and local facilities for girls, "both of a preventive and a correctional nature." "I 1 urge the (Coun ty Board) to develop group- foster homes for both girls and boys and to construct and operate a new local train ing school for girls." Turnbladh also said he felt the desire by some Hennepin County officials to have the state finance operation of a delinquent girls home is not justified.

He said in the past fiscal year Hennepin County com mitted nearly half of the girls from 10 to 17 to the state training school for Girls at Sauk Centre. At the boys training school at Red Wing, Turnbladh said, Hennepin State GOP Struggle to several opponents at the same against time.

Before the games started, Reshevsky asked that no one "kibbitz" or give outside help to the players. "For five dollars you have a right to make your own blunders," he said. Most of the players Reshevsky ranked By SHERRIE MAZINGO Minneapolis Star Staff Writer Samuel Reshevsky, Grand Master chess player, played on 28 boards simul-.

taneously Tuesday at the YMCA and defeated all but seven opponents, who played him to a draw. But a few like Tom Muff, 1315 Maynard St. Paul, and Albert Burger, 1605 Hennepin came close to winning, or at least thought they did. Muff played Reshevsky, 53, to a draw and Burger was the last to be defeated. "He could have beaten me," Muff said.

"But he made a blunder I think on the 35th move." Burger, a chess player for 32 years, said he thought he had a chance at one point of beating Reshevsky, "but he outsmarted me." Walking from board to board, Reshevsky seemed to be planning his next move even before he left the last one. Reshevsky, New York, eliminated his first opponent in 35 minutes and 15 moves. Burger, his last opponent, was defeated after three hours and almost 50 moves. "I was in trouble several times," Reshevsky said. "There were some good chess players here." A near-bald, unsmiling man with a subtle sense of humor, Reshevsky is a five-time U.S.

chess champion. His career started when he was five years old. He. was a chess prodigy at seven. Between 8 and 10 years of age he gave a series of exhibitions in which he played blindfolded IB County youths accounted for 33 per cent of the population.

On the basis of overall population in these age groups, Turnbladh said, Hennepin County should commit slightly more than 2 1 per cent. Morris Hursh, state wel fare commissioner, said in a letter to Mrs. Scott that his department would be happy to discuss any change in the present status of the Glen Lake facility with appropriate officials. Both Mrs. Scott and Commissioner Elwood Swanson had suggested that the unused buildings at the sanatorium be studied as possible facilities for delinquent girls.

The sanatorium, in Minne-tonka, was turned over to state control for operation as a state tuberculosis treat ment nospital ana nursing home. Turnbladh said Joseph Rowan, deputy corrections commissioner and Max Fow ler, assistant state architect, had visited the sanatorium to determine its suitabiliy for a home school for girls. Under study was the now unused "children's building" at the sanatorium complex. Layout of the three-story building would not lend itself to such an institution, said Rowan, because it would require a high ratio of staff personnel for supervision of the girls. The building would also need extensive plumbing and electrical work, Rowan said.

At least the idea of the Judd favorite son movement reportedly jelled at a meeting of Robert Forsythe, state chairman, Nancy Brataas, state chairwoman; Rhoda Lund, national committee-woman and George Etzell, state chairman. Some Goldwaterites are known to be unhappy about that.

With the Judd-Goldwater strength apparently fairly even, however, a violent up set in party leadership seems unlikely. LW 35 SAMUEL Christian Unity Talk at Bethel Christian unity is possible without uniformity, several hundred Baptist ministers and laymen were told to-d a in a Founders' Week, lecture at Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul. Uniformity of the churches, said the Rev. Dr.

Virgil Olson, is neither de sirable nor possible." Dr. Olson, who is a professor at Bethel Seminary, said that "diversity has existed in the church from the "Unity does not gome through the organizational programming of men, but through the power of the Holy Spirit," he declared. Dr. Olson said all churches, whether they belong to ecumenical organizations or not, cannot remain unmoved by the influence of the growing Christian unity spirit. "There are some churches which belong to international ecumenical organizations, but on the home front foster intense religious nationalism," he observed.

"They are the 'in' group, they have the mark of distinction, and many of these churches look pityingly through their ecu-monocles at those groups which have not come up to the light." Richardson Backed for School Board Samuel Richardson, 4044 Oakland president of the Warrington School PTA, has been endorsed by the 8th Ward DFL Club for an expected vacancy on the Minneapolis School Board.

The ratings are based on points won in tournament competition plus 4 per cent of any handicap from previous tournaments.

"I've played two games with Petrosian, both of them draws," Reshevsky said. wished to study the report from the two state commis sioners before commenting on it.

Swanson said he and other board members would con tinue to work toward solution of the problem of han dling the county's delinquent girls who need to be institutionalized. "I am not an expert in confinement facilities," said Swanson, "and if the facilities at Glen Lake are not suitable, according to experts in the matter, we shall have to search elsewhere for the solution." Car-blocking by Buses Investigated Bus drivers are not entirely to blame for blocking traffic lanes at bus stops in Minneapolis, the chairman of the Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse Commission said Tuesday. Ron Anderson said that the commission is investigating traffic "trouble spots" which make it difficult for drivers to curb their buses properly at stops. He said a recent check by the commission inspector re vealed that, of 171 buses checked, 78 were parked at the bus stop with the rear of the bus blocking the traffic lane. And of those 78, 24 were unavoidably obstructing traffic because cars or trucks were improperly parked in the bus-stop area.

Anderson said the commis sion and the bus company have agreed to co-operate in inspecting trouble spots. He said several steps might be taken to ease the problem: LENGTHENING some bus stop zones by removing one parking meter. STRICT enforcement of bus stop zones by police. TRANSIT lanes on certain streets in the downtown areas. MAKING it possible for the bus driver to cross the intersection before loading passengers.

"The drivers union, the commission and ourselves are co-operating fully to put a stop to the problem," S. A. Caria, operations vice president of Twin City Lines, said Tuesday.

Paul. He had been found guilty Feb. 11 by a jury on a charge of attempted murder in the second degree. Dahlstrom blasted six windows of a supermarket and two windows of a bar with a shotgun Nov. 30.

When police arrived, Dahlstrom appeared with an automatic rifle! and took a shot at an officer. On the return fire, Dahlstrom was wounded. Dahlstrom had shot up the same neighborhood once before. The second shooting came the day after an attorney filed suit for damages resulting from the first foray. Wartburg College President Resigns WAVERLY, Iowa (Special) H.

FATHER SAYS City Told to Open Records in Asphalt Plant Dispute I luLpxrixrir 'LOT OF PRAYERS' Baboon Kidneys Aid Boy, 16 A battle for leadership in Minnesota's Republican party is continuing and apparently will not be decided finally until the Republican state conven-tion in June. It now ap nAninrl nnw an- pears, most party observ- 1 oday ers agree, that precinct cau- NeWS cuses this month did not establish either Dr.

Walter Judd, former Minnesota congressman, or Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater as ciear-cut presidential favorites statewide. Thus the tug-of-war will continue through county, district and state conventions to see which side will get the majority of the 26 delegates Minnesota will send to the Republican national convention in July. "The outcome will depend on how well the respective camps marshal tneir iorces from now on, said Clifford Hess, vice chairman of the Judd drive. Assessing the precinct cau cuses, Hess gave this evaluation of the Judd showing by Congressional district: "Good control of the 1st.

Quite close in the 2nd. Neck and neck in the 3rd. Close in the -4th, but we think we have the necessary percentage. We got the 5th. In the 6th, we lost heavily.

Won the 7th. Touch and go in the 8th." More General William Holes, chairman of the Goldwater campaign, is more general in his assessment. He says Goldwater forces won at least 50 per cent of the delegates state wide, doing "very well" in the five outstate districts and "better than expected" in the metropolitan districts the 3rd, 4th and 5th. But the battle isn't only for delegates. It could devel op also into a battle for con tinuing control of the party, with some changes in party leadership possible if the Goldwater Conservatives won by decisive margins.

The reason is that although present party leaders refrain from taking sides publicly, By BEVERLY MINDRUM Minneapolis Star Staff Writer Officers Elected by 10th Ward GOP Herb Miller, 4346 Harriet was elected chairman at the 10th ward Republican caucus Tuesday.

"My son is a very normal boy," he added. "He accepted it. He wouldn't care what they (the kidneys) were, as long as they worked. The teen-ager is living with his mother in an apartment in Denver the Minneapolis man said, but it js hoped they can retu to Minneapolis in the near future. "I am optimistic," he add ed.

"My boy has gained about 25 pounds since the operation he was down to 90-and his eyesight is com ing back. "He had lost that, and it'll never be perfect again. But it is improving."

But, the father said, he also realizes the dangers of infections in a body where the resistance is very low.

"It's something you can't predict," he said. "We can't say after a certain period things will be all right, be cause there is nothing to go by. There are no records on which to determine success. "There isn't very much you can expect when something new is experimented on like that. Just a lot of prayers." The animal-to-human trans plants have been accom plished by the Denver doc tors with assistance from a team of doctors from Hennepin County General Hospital, headed by Dr.

Claude Hitchcock, surgery chief. The first patient lived about six weeks and died of a lung abscess, athough his baboon kidneys were still functioning well. Two other patients, including the Tu cumcari rancher, died when their bodies rejected the Borgelt's attorneys were refused access to records of City Engineer Gordon Bo-dien, and Tuesday they got a court order from Hennepin District Judge John A. weeks ordering the city to open its public records. Dabe Shama, assistant city attorney, said he advised Bodien not to open records to a "fishing expedition" be cause such a request could disrupt city business.

He said he would advise Bodien to co-operate with a reasonable request for specific information. "We have nothing to hide," Shama said. But he noted he also had to have the records to prepare the city's defense for a Feb. 27 district court hearing. The hearing was set after Borgelt complained the city lacks authority ot build the asphalt plant and requested an injunction barring the city project.

Borgelt is president of an asphalt-making company. County Cancer Crusade Begins The 1964 Cancer Crusade recruitment campaign was started in Hennepin County today at a noon lunch in the North.Star Inn, 618 2nd Av. S. Speakers were to include Joseph C. Thome, 6802 36th Av.

"If it does prove out, it will mean life and hope for a lot of people," said the father. "We've said an awful lot of prayers and there are a lot of prayers still to be said. He noted that three of the six persons including his son who have made medical history in the field of animal-to-human transplants have died.

The Minneapolis teen-ager was released from Colorado General Hospital in Denver on Feb. 1236 days after baboon kidneys took over the functions his own diseased kidneys could not perform. The same day, a 45-year-old Tucumcari, N.M., rancher, er died, after surviving longer than any other ammal-to-hu man transplant patient. He had been operated on just two days before the Minneapolis boy. The Minneapolis father said his son is "gaining all the time." He said the kidney failure started three years ago after a bout with strep throat and that the teen-ager had been "in and out of hospitals" since then.

No Human Donors He said that the boy had been taken to Denver after a vain attempt to find a human donor in Minnesota while his son was a patient at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The man said it was still with the hope of finding a human donor that the family went to Denver, but this hope had failed. "There was no choice," he said of the baboon kidney transplant.
