Ernest Bergeron, both High Court Nixs Fruge Case Review WASHINGTON (UPI) The Supreme Court Monday refused to review eaves-dropping allegations of attorney Jack C. Fruge, former Louisiana state senator, convicted of theft from the state through illegal employment of a secretary. The court's brief order left standing as final a decision on Nov. 6, 1967, by the Louisiana Supreme Court affirming the conviction. Fruge drew a five-year sus pended sentence.

According to the evidence the secretary, Eloise Stegall was already employed by the state Conservation Department and therefore could not legally hold another state job. She collected her salary from Fruge under the name of another person. The arrangement came to lignt tnrougn tederal income tax difficulties and a complaint by the other person to the district attorney's office. Fruge then sought a private conference with the district attorney to discuss the matter. The idea, the state Supreme Court said, was to "convince the district attorney to use his good offices iii not prosecuting Miss Stegall, and thus protect him and his family from the unfavorable publicity that would ensue." The senator had no idea at that time that he himself was the subject of investigation.

The conversation, intended to be private, was "bugged," and a transcript and a recording were admitted in evidence at Fruge's trial. Number 4 Different Story Schwartzenburg again voted no; Boyd this time voted no as did Pitre. The two "yes" votes were by Casanova and Zerangue. The motion was defeated. So until the next city council meeting the entire area is scheduled for annexation.

However, aldermen who voted against Casanova's motion to delete what is -mostly owned by the Pavy and Dunbar tarn ilies explained that they were not satisfied with that boundry line because there are other residents in the area who ob ject to incorporation. They want to study new boundary lines before committing themselves on deletion. of Henderson.

They lost 13 Americans dead and 54 wounded before driving them away. U.S. spokesmen announced thl opening of two large campaigns to prevent the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese from seizing rice crops now ripening along the northern coast of South Vietnam-Nevada Eagle 11 miles southwest of Hue and Jeb Stuart III 10 miles southeast of Quang Tri near the Demilitarized Zone.

A spokesman said Nevada Eagle involving troops of the 101st Division and a brigade of the 82nd Airborne had killed 147 North Vietnamese since Friday at a cost of nine paratroopers killed and 13 wounded. A spokesman said a UH1 Huey helicopter carrying troops near the Nevada Eagle area was shot down by Communist ground fire Monday, killing seven soldiers and wounding two others. The incident was 12 miles west of Hue. South Vietnamese authorities said allied forces killed 4,765 Communist troops in the week ending Saturday, a drop from the 5,552 of the previous week. The South Vietnamese lost 475 killed and 1,467 wounded double the figure of the last week.
