You didn't have to see the planes to know they were there. More sonic booms are likely to be heard in the Mansfield area today and Friday.

They are being caused by F-101-B Voodoo jets from the 87th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron based at Lockbourne Air Force Base at Columbus. These two-man jets are capable of flying at speeds up to 1,200 miles per hour. The flights are being made in conjunction with the Annual Operational Readiness Inspection being conducted by the First Air Force's Tactical Evaluation Team from Stewart Air Force Base at Newburgh, N. Y. The operational mission of the 87th is to.

protect industrial sites in the Great Lakes region and the central Ohio area. Blimp Passes Over City At 9:10 a. m. today, a low-flying aircraft flew over Mansfield. This time there were no sonic booms and not many people saw the big Goodyear blimb lumber across the center of town en route from Akron to Indianapolis for the big race on Memorial Day.

The big blimp has been in Akron for the past month for maintenance and the installation of a new sign which will be used to flash race progress results and messages to the crowds below. The sign is similar to the one on the New York Times building in Times Square. During the Indianapolis 500 race, the blimp will be used as an aerial platform for motion picture and television cameramen. Cold Cuts Flower Supply Garden-grown flowers are going to be scarce this Memorial Day because of the late spring and cold wave in early May. There will be a few irises and perhaps a few peonies, but the roses won't be out and the tulips are about gone.

The lilacs are still in bloom, but many were badly damaged by the cold snap. Activity Stepped Up At Kingwood Center Kingwood Center will be buzzing with activity this weekend. The Central Ohio Iris Show will be held Saturday from 2 to 9 p. m. and on Sunday from 10 a.

m. to 8 p. m. Also on Sunday, Gfrer's Old Timers' Band presents a concert on the terrace in front of Kingwood Hall at 3 p. m.

Some of the numbers the band will play are "Semper Fidelis" March, "Serenade in the "The Chimes of Liberty" March, "El Caballero" Spanish March and "Colonel Bogey" March. Frank Gfrer is the director. Kingwood is presently changing over from the early displays, primarily the tulips, to the summer annuals which draw tens of thousands of visitors yearly. The iris display will be at its best in a couple of weeks and the peonies will soon be in bloom. The roses will possibly suffer little permanent harm, but the blooms will be delayed several weeks.

The damage to the lilies may be considerable as they were just coming up when they were frozen. Spring is very evident among the wildlife at Kingwood Center. A lot of young ducklings, a couple of goslings, and some baby pheasants are discovering the area. PEANUTS CHARLIE BROWN DOESN'T FEEL WELL. WHAT'S HIS STOMACH GOING ON ILA DE DA! WIN OR LOSE!

Don Townsend, a police veteran of six years, read a four-page report telling why the policemen do not want a police-fire department "package deal" raise as has been granted in the past. The need for more men was also discussed by the four members if the police department who met with council. CITE WORK SCHEDULE Some excerpts from the policeman's report were: "In Ashland the firemen stand by the fire house waiting to respond to a fire alarm. The municipal fire service as we know it is basically a standby service. "Sixteen hours on-duty time is spent in eating, sleeping and recreation within the firehouse such as playing ping pong, pool and watching television." Chief Sam Carmony reported that on June 16 the department will be operating with 15 policemen and one chief.

An ordinance passed in January provides a 20-man force. The most it has reached since that time is 18 and resignations and a retirement will cut the total. Civil service tests are a scheduled June 28. The police committee, headed by Patrolman Mitchell Goshinski, chairman; included Patrolman Ken Boyd, Sgt. Joe Bonfiglis and Townsend.

ASK $50 The policemen requested a flat $50 a month across the board raise to all department members starting July 1 and that effective by Jan. 1, 1967 a yearly $100 raise for five years. Present department salaries are: new patrolman, patrolman, sargeant, lieutenant, and chief, $6,585. The maximum patrolman salary asked by the committee is $6,100 after five years. A $5,520 starting wage is sought.

A difference of at least $500 between the pay of patrolman and sergeant and sergeant and lieutenant is asked alone with at least $1,000 between lieutenant and chief's pay. U.

Townsend said, 'When you look at the random sample of wages paid the law enforcement officers by our so-called wealthy and progressive Ohio cities, you will see clear indications that efficient police departments cannot be organized and properly operated until salary inducements are offered which will attract young men with adequate education and personal qualifications to the police department."

FOR SOME REASON, THE PAIN HAS SUDDENLY By GEORGE CONSTABLE An appeal to higher courts of the first degree murder conviction of Lester E. Eubanks 22, will depend upon his family, court-appointed co-defense counsel Lydon H. Beam said yesterday. Eubanks was convicted at noon yesterday of first degree murder while in the act of attempting to commit rape.

He is scheduled to appear before Judge James J. Mayer in common pleas court tomorrow at 9:30 a. m. for sentencing. Since the 12-member jury refused to make a recommendation of mercy the death penalty is mandatory under Ohio criminal law.

Beam said yesterday that he and COcounsel Atty. Arthur W. Negin will file a motion for a new trial probably tomorrow after sentence is passed. He added: "I feel we have completed our court-appointed task in defending Lester Eubanks. What Eubanks or his family intend to do, or are able to do, about an appeal I don't know," Beam said.

Beam and Negin were appointed to defend Eubanks on Nov. 19 by Judge Mayer because Eubanks was declared to be an indigent, or without funds. Court costs for the day trial now are being figured. They will include witness fees, jury costs, defense counsel fees (to be set by the court), examination fees and other expenses. Beam also said yesterday, "As I understand it, the strange thing about Ohio law is that it makes no allowance for counsel fees for appealing an indigent person's conviction.

The law only allows fees for the original defense of indigent persons." The eight men and four women who returned the guilty verdict yesterday against Eubanks were in no talking mood after their ordeal. They had deliberated nearly 10 hours. It was reported they took seven ballots before making their final decision, but they refused to elaborate. In convicting Eubanks of the Nov. 14 slaying of Mary Ellen Deener, 14 year old junior high school girl, the jury determined that he killed her while attempting to perpetrate rape.

He thus was convicted on the second of two counts, which were first degree murder, and murder while attempting commit rape. Conviction on either count without recommendation for mercy meant death in the electric chair. The other verdicts the jury could have returned were first degree murder with mercy, first degree murder attempting to commit rape with mercy, second degree murder, first degree manslaughter, not guilty by reason of insanity on both counts, and not guilty on the first count or second counts, eight choices of verdict in all..
