Journi-Timei Photo Racine; More For many people the snow has a gnasuier wnueness every year," as poet Aioen Pike wrote, and tnts is turn-ine out to be one of the ghastliest years of all in Racine; The flakes started falling early Tuesday afternoon and by noon today Racine had two inches of new snow, witn a orecast of two or three inch es of additional snow accumu- ating by Thursday morning Driving Hazardous The Wisconsin State Patrol reported that Tuesday night's snowfall left Wisconsin high ways wet, snow packed and hazardous this morning. Roads in the extreme north ern part of the. state were in good winter driving' condition Boom Shakes A boom apparently caused by aircraft flying at super sonic speeds echoed through the Racine area shortly after 12:10 today.

A Federal Aviation Agency official at Mitchell Field, Mil waukee, said the agency knew of no scheduled supersonic flights in the area. Heard in Wide Area The boom was reported heard from Mitchell Field south to Petrifying Springs Park in Kenosha County. The FAA official said that because of the wide area over which the sound was heard, the probability was that it was a sonic boom. Air Force officials in Milwaukee said they knew of no planned Air Force supersonic flights in the area. They had been informed when previous flights were scheduled.

The booms were heard in Racine in 1962 and 1963 when supersonic tests were con ducted by the Strategic Air Command along a corridor running the length of Lake Michigan. Promised More Flights Sonic booms are caused by shock waves which build up around an aircraft as it is flown at or in excess of the speed of sound. -Previous booms in the area resulted from B-58 Hustler bombers flying at up to 1,300 miles an hour, Air Force officials said. The Air Force announced late last December that some additional supersonic tests were to be held along a Lake Michigan corridor, but has made no additional announce ment since then. Racine Area Justice in Indigency Cases Co-Producer of The Deputy' Will Speak in Racine Lawyers, Says Jurist in attracting Industrial development.

Industrial Resource "You cannot separate high er education or departmentalize it from business and industry because the three are closely knit," Benson wired.

GRANT LICENSE IN TAVERN HASSLE The aldermen granted Ron ald L. Petersen, 1732 Arctu-rus a license to operate Cy's Tavern, 509 6th St It denied a license to Emil Zenko, 627 Lafayette who wanted to operate the same tavern.

Previously Petersen, Zenko and. Mrs. Alma Petersen jointly held a license to op erate Cy Tavern. But this year Zenko applied individ ually for license. The Peter sens also applied.

Both requests were denied because neither application was accompanied by a sur render and cancellation of an existing license. Since then Petersen has picked up the surrender and cancellation of a license formerly owned by Emest J. Wuerzberger, oper ator of a tavern at 1126 Main St. Equipment owned by Ven ko meanwhile was removed from the tavern by court or der. Robert Sorenson, city li cense clerk, said today that Petersen plans to pay for his license Thursday but will not open Cy's Tavern until Jan.

AMC Reports in Milwaukee MILWAUKEE UP An American Motors Corp. spokesman said Tuesday night "there was no announcement of progress" after the first meeting with Local 75 of the United Auto Workers which has rejected a proposed three-year contract Temperatures tion in federal courts, he said, The new law Heffernan said was formulated to elim inate such shortcomings by providing reasonable compen sation for attorneys, by appointing them at an early stage of the proceedings, and by making it possible for at torneys to claim compensa tion for investigative and legal expenses incurred dur ing defense. Law Poses Problems i Among the problems posed by the new law, Heffernan listed the drain of attorneysl from state courts to federal courts, (which he said could be solved by appointing law yers from less populated dis tricts to serve in larger metro politan, areas), determining the eligibility of lawyers to serve as court-appointed coua sel, the means of recruitment (voluntary or compulsory) and the standards to be ap plied in determining indi gency. "Unless there is carefu planning," Heffernan said. "the new law might not only be inadequate but could im pose a real burden on the bar association." Heffernan said the chal lenge to the bar will be to find the best way to effectively meet the problems posed by the law, and by making sure that every effort is made to provide adequate representation for all.

"The rights developed in criminal trials are among the most important we possess," Heffernan said. "For that reason, it is important that the finest minds should toe available for criminal work for every time a defendant is not able to properly challenge his accusers, it is we who are deprived of a little bit of our freedom." Heffefhan, before his appointment to the State Supreme Court, served as U.S. district attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin from 1962-64. Before that, he was deputy attorney general from 1959-62, a research assistant to Governor Renne-bohm in 1949, and was She: boygan attorney from 1953-59. STORES 312 Sixth St.

Elmwood Plaza all saiitaT heed cash for by President Johnson last August as the result of a 1961 study into what Heffernan termed "the long suspected shortcomings" of our criminal justice system. The most significant short' coming named by Heffernan was the inability of even "un usually able lawyers" to fight federal cases which were backed by the vast legal and investigative resources of the fedeal government Too often, Heffernan add ed, representation the fed' eral courts was practiced by attorneys with no previous experience in federal criminal matters and by attorneys disinterested in criminal law.

Investigators were able to follow footprints in the snow to Logar's home, were he admitted he was the car's driver.

Damage to Logar's car was estimated at about $300. Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Pres. Abraham Lincoln, stopped overnight at the Congress Hotel at 3rd St. and Lake while her son Tad was a student, at Racine College. BOTH Downtown Suburban KID Depends on The success of the Federal Criminal Justice Act passed by Congress last August will depend on how well local bar associations meet the challenge of implementing its program to provide adequate representation for indigent persons in criminal prpsecutions.

This is the view of Justice Nathan S. Heffernan of State Supreme Court who spoke Tuesday at a noon luncheon of the Racine County Bar Assn. Heffernan, appointed to the Supreme Court earlier this year, announced Tueday his candidacy for election to the state's highest court.
