(AP) Ten oil companies accused of conspiring to fix gasoline prices have won acquittal at their second trial and will not have to pay fines totaling nearly $400,000. Welsh May Be Passing The Word By BILL WILD HACK An important question in politics these days is whether Gov. Matthew E. Welsh is listening or talking.

An impressive list of Democratic big wheels has visited the governor's office within the last few days. Sometimes their names appear on the appointment calendar, sometimes conspiracy and that the price increase came after substantial losses had been incurred. The defendants were: Standard Oil Ce. of Indiana. Soceny Mobil Oil Co.

All the visitors have one thing in common: They're evasive about the purpose of their visits. Yesterday, for instance, during a short period there appeared in the office Gordon St Angelo of Huntingburg, eighth District Democratic chairman; James W. Beatty, Marion County chairman, and Mayor John J. Barton, 11th District chairman. "I just dropped by to pay my respects," Barton said without much originality.

Others believe Welsh is "putting out the word," apparently his views about whom the party should nominate to succeed him. It is worth noting St Angelo is a staunch supporter of Roger Branigin, Lafayette attorney, for the nomination for governor. And if Branigin is the next governor, St Angelo might become Democatic state chairman.

STATE DEATHS ON PAGE 4 PEOPLE IN THE lusness News, Pages 28,29 Comics, 12, 13; TV, 43 FELLOW The week just drawing to a close probably will be remembered for a long time to come as one of the busiest "alumni re- Union" periods in the city's Mickey history. Hoosier dentists came to town for the first three days to observe the 106th anniversary of their state dental association with luncheons, dinners and class reunions. Doctor graduates of the Indiana University Medical School came Wednesday for the 17th annual alumni re- union picnic. And today and tomorrow, the nurses are taking over.

Incidents from the I.U. Medical Center and its School of Nursing were told and retold today at the registration tables as about 400 graduates returned to the West Michigan Street campus to help the nursing school observe its 50th anniversary. As the Long Hospital was being completed in 1914, the Training School for Nurses was opened. The nursing office was set up in the east sunroom on Ward AB at Long, which was the only building at the Medical Center at that time. A classroom was established in the surgery suite, and the nursing students went to the School of Medicine, then located at Market and Senate, for some of their basic instruction.

Crnw I In' Later' a medi" uw up. al sch00l building, now Emerson Hall, was constructed near the hospital and the Medical Center began to grow with the erection of Riley Hospital for Children, Coleman Hospital for Women and Ball Residence for Nurses. All have been en- larged since that time. Ball-Residence now is headquarters for the entire school of nursing and provides housing for nursing students and faculty. i Many other buildings have been added to the Medical Center throughout the years, and a feature of the two-day golden anniversary celebra-I tion of the nurses will be tours of the facilities and clinical demonstrations of new techniques.

The two-day program is keyed to the theme, "Pathways for Im-proving Nursing Fractice." 1 Climax: Nationally known speakers will develop this theme today and tomorrow. The celebration will come to a climax Saturday evening with the annual alumni banquet at the Indianapolis Athletic Club at which Dr. Ray Heffner newly appointed vice-president and dean of faculties, will be the Dr. Elvis J. Stahr, LIT.

president, will bring greetings to the alumni. A feature of the final banquet will be the first presentation of a new annual award named for Mrs. Dorcas Rock Brewer, a long-time member of the nursing school faculty. The award will honor a senior nursing student who has been outstanding in the school organizations and activities which Mrs. Brewer directed.

Now living in Florida, Mrs. Brewer will be on hand for the celebration and will make the presentation. Today's luncheon honored 'the classes for each five-year period beginning with 1959 and going back to 1919. The first two graduating classes, those of 1917 and 1918, also were honored with appropriate ceremonies. NO STUDY DISTRACTION Special to The News VALPARAISO, Ind.

Weather Bureau Forty -eight Indianapolis players folded their boards and packed their chess pieces last night after being beaten by the wizard of U.S. chess, champion Bobby Fischer. Two players in the match in which Fischer played 50 games simultaneously managed to outwit the 21-year-old master. Stasys Makutenas, 1727 N. Talbot, won his match and Joe Couperous, East Raymond Street, came off with a draw.

Fischer was hardly winded at the end of 2y2 hours of pacing around the auditorium of the headquarters of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1504, 6501 Massachusetts. He alternately smiled and seemed to glare at the various players. Each player moved a piece and Fischer would make a move, sometimes quick as a flash and sometimes after few seconds thought the i chess champion would move on to the next board and so on, in turn, until each player, except Makutenas and Couperous, had been defeat ed. He left today for New York and a match against 100 players. The match, which attracted about 200 spectators, was sponsored by the Western Electric Chess Club.
