WO 0W0 ma AAan Carrying Pistol Arrested rrrr X- A. it vA iL- jf r---v -3K- USDA: No Fungus In Wheat WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture Department said Friday there is no evidence that a fungus causing millions of dollars of losses to corn farmers this year now has moved into the nation's winter wheat crop. A spokesman for the Agricultural Research Service told a reporter that the winter wheat scare apparently was caused by a report from Mississippi that corn blight fungus had been found in newly planted winter wheat. There is no basis for the claim, the spokesman said. The official said scientists found the diseased wheat had a root-rot condition common in the Southern area.

The rot definitely was not caused by the blight fungus, he said. Fears had been raised in grain trade circles that the fun-nitely was not caused by the blight fungus, he said. Fears had been raised in grain trade circles that the fungus now might be threatening the nation's big crop of winter wheat, the largest source of bread grain. The official said investigators determined that the Mississippi case involved about 500 acres of The disruption came in the aftermath of demands by a band of white parents wanting the principal to permit "Dixie" to be played at football games and that there be no racial mixing at school dances. Greenville County schools were desegregated peacefully last January under a court order that was upheld by the U.S.

4th Circuit Court of Appeals. Principal L. K. Boyles said only six to eight pupils were actually involved in the fighting and the most serious injury was a cut lip. None of the white parents who had congregated outside entered the school, he said.

1 Boyles said the white adults broke about half a dozen windows with "metal objects they threw" and with metal pipes." Boyles said about 20 pupils were in the room during the fighting and that both black and white pupils, including boys and girls, tried to break up the scuffling. The teacher, who had fled the room, Boyles said, returned with other teachers, who restored order. Boyles said the classroom ruckus lasted only about five minutes. Sheriff's deputies arrived at the school after the fighting had been broken up. Boyles said he called them to the school earlier in the day, too, when some Negro pupils became rowdy, but that he then decided he could handle the situation and asked the lawmen to leave.

The disruption began when about 75 black pupils met in a school courtyard to express displeasure over the demands by the white parents. Boyles said he asked the blacks to go to the gymnasium, where he tried to reason with them. He said he was unsuc was under the direction of Duwayne Best and W. E.

Savannah Man Charged With Murder CHARLESTON AP) A Sa vannah man has been charged in the death of a companion whose body was found at Folly Beach last August. William R. Richardson, 25, was held in county jail without bond pending a hearing next week before Magistrate Pau Elsey.

He is charged with murder and grand larceny of an auto. Folly Beach Police Chief Fred L. Janowczyk said Richardson is charged in the death of James F. Westerbury, whose body was found near the ocean by a young couple shortly after midnight Aug. 29.

Root rot developed as is often the case with small grains being planted so early in that area, the ARS spokesman said. Corn losses this year current- ly are about 600 million bushels.

Dry weather, insects and other factors have contributed, but leaf blight is regarded by far as the most damaging. The July estimate called for a record crop of more than 4.8 bil lion bushels of corn this year. Last month it was lowered to less than 4.2 billion.

Roggeveen was one of three law students selected to participate in the experiment. Others were John Livingston and Jack Hall, law students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Roggeveen said that during the 10 days, "In spite of large quantities of starchy food, I lost eight pounds. After three or four days of confinement I began to have trouble sleeping and for the last few days I slept very little. For the last two days I was physically out of sorts and had headaches, chills and disorders." He said he firmly believed that if he had remained in I Block "for a much longer period of time I would have suffered serious and possibly permanent injury." Livingston told the committee he was a resident of one cell-block for 14 days.

He termed Central Prison "a boring and frustrating place. "It's environment, boredom, limitations on visiting, and lack of creation or work is the inmate's initiation to the North Carolina prison system, and bitterness results," he said.
