After his conviction on October 17, Rowland had filed a motion for a new trial, which was overruled by Judge Warren Eaton. He then filed an appeal with the Court of Appeals. Russia, China Competing In India Communist party of India opens DELHI, India (AP) a meeting here today that could decide whether Indian Communists look to Moscow or Peiping for leadership.

A struggle for supremacy is expected between two factions. One is the relatively group, aligned with Moscow, that appears content for the time being to work through India's parliamentary system. A pro-Chinese group is inclined toward the tougher approach of fighting Prime Minister Nehru's government with strikes and even violence. The party struggle will begin in an Executive Committee meeting and move Monday into a six-day meeting of the party's National Council. The result could be compromise.

Main business on the agenda is selection of a general secretary to Ajoy Ghosh, a middle4-the-road leader who died in January. Choice of his successor was delayed by the parliamentary elections in February and by intense maneuvering within the party since then. In the February elections, the pro-Chinese faction of the party improved its position in its Calcutta stronghold. The group aligned with Moscow lost heavily in the Bombay area, its home territory, and its leader, S. A.

Dange, failed to win re-election to Parliament. Dange was the first important Indian Communist leader to cuse the Chinese of aggression when India's border dispute with her northern neighbor flared into the open in 1959. Calcutta Communists have been inclined to make excuses for the Chineseearning for themselves scathing criticism from Nehru, Generally, however, Nehru has not assailed the Indian Communist party. During the election campaign Nehru directed most of his fire at right-wing parties and said little about the Communists. The Communists openly supported some candidates of Nehru's Congress party, most notably Defense, Minister V.

K. Krishna Menon. The party advocates support for Nehru's proclaimed goal of socialism. Most observers expect a compromise. There have been reports the power of the general secretary's office will be in the future be shared with a chairman.

This would give. the two factions a check on each other and bring to the fore a middle-of-the-road group. Guido Gains (Continued From Page One) atively unknown politically, as the new army secretary with a free hand to name his own army commander in chief. This meant Poggi was through, as well as Gen. Marino Bartolome Carrera, army secretary, who resigned Friday night.

The showdown came quickly after Rauch, solidly based with more than 12,000 soldiers and 150 Sherman tanks at his command at Campo de Mayo, ordered an armored column to advance on Buenos Aires. Poggi, depending on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Motorized Infantry regiments, deployed defenders in trenches in Palermo suburb in the path of the armored column. His forces wheeled out light artillery and antiaircraft pieces behind a barricade of buses and cars around the dominating War Ministry building facing the Plaza de Mayo and pink-walled Government House in the heart of the city. Rauch's tanks and armored personnel carriers stormed on into the suburbs, despite the risks of warfare, and 60 men seized control of the national radio station. But just as it seemed that something would break out, cars filled with generals began arriving at Guido's gates to seek a peaceful solution.

What apparently turned the tables on Poggi was this: In the minutes before he went to Guido's residence the huge army garrisons at Santa Fe and at Rosario, Argentina's second largest city, came down on the side of the insurgents. Elements of the air force also were reported to have declared themselves for Rauch. The navy throughout kept hands off, declaring the crisis an army affair. Spokesmen for Frondizi's Intransigent Radicals, who from the first have opposed outlawing the Peronists by decree, also proI claimed their support for Rauch, On The Cumberland Storage Facilities Drop Flood Height By 5.4 Feet The Cumberland River flood last week, which reached a crest stage of 62 feet at Eddyville, would have been 5.4 feet higher without the storage dams built by the Corps of Engineers, U.S. according to Nashville District Engineer Colonel Vincent P.

Carlson. Carlson said preliminary estimates indicate that flood damages in Metropolitan Nashville alone were reduced from a probable of $1,200,000 to $106,000 by the existing reservoir system. Additional benefits not immediately estimable were realized at other points along the Cumberland, Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The district engineer said that if J. Percy Priest Reservoir had been in operation, the a flood crest would have been reduced to 38.3 feet, 1.7 feet below flood at Nashville, thereby eliminating practically all flood damages there.

The flood was caused by a Curb Sought On School Activities FRANKFORT (AP) For the first time, state education oftion as a extraficials are considering, accreditacurricular interferences with the classroom. The method is simple too much non-essential outside activity would lower a school's rating. "The time has come to provide leadership in this matter," Supt. of Public Instruction Wendell Butler said. good way to correct abuses is to tie them in with Both the state Board of Education and 1 the Commission on Public Education have expressed concern recently, with the extracurricular activity problem.

The state board's public worry has focused on fund-raising operations. The commission has been talking mainly of athletics on school nights. The two organizations may get together next month to discuss remedial steps. Meantime, the state board has scheduled a' special session May 2 on accreditation of some 500 high schools and 900 elementary schools with at least eight teachers. Rating changes will be based largely on conference between the supertinent of Education and the Kentucky Associaaction of Colleges, Elementary and Secondary Students.

Butler said a law to abolish all interferences with school studies is not tradition is too strong, the sources too He favors a voluntary solution worked out by communities, the schools and the state. "Many schools are overdoing extracurricular activities," Butler said. "Yet some schools are not doing enough." The issue is not always clearcut, he said. For example, on Career Day every, year high school students are interviewed by prospective employers. "This definitely interferes with the classroom," Butler said.

"But we must ask ourselves if its value offsets the loss of school time. Much the same holds true, he said, for Senior Day, 4-H Day, FFA Day, Homemakers Day, senior trips, the Kentucky Youth Assembly and a number of other activities not directly connected with schools. At present, accreditation depends on factors ranging from teacher experience to adequacy of libraries. said his staff may check schedules and classes personally to weigh the extracurricular aspect. He said a proposal that has not yet come before the state school board also could provide a partial answer.

It is a plan for an intense self evaluation by each school district, beginning next fall. The object is to discover a path to quality education. In accreditation the rating for a high school is "com-which means it offers good courses in both the academic and vocational areas. A "standard" school's curriculum is not as broad, although often just as good. A "provisional" school has a number of weaknesses.

Elementary schools are rated either standard or provisional. All one room schools are classified automatically as emergency. Kennedy Opens World's Fair SEATTLE, Wash.

(AP) "Let the fair begin!" annouriced President Kennedy in Palm Beach, and the Seattle World's Fair swung open the public Saturday amid cheers and cannonading. Excited crowds hailed the beginning of the Century 21 Exposition unaware that an Air Force jet fighter plane had crashed into a neighborhood just north of Seattle after flying over the opening ceremonies. Twelve thousand early arrivals crowded into Memorial Stadium to watch the opening festivities and hear President Kennedy in a telephoned message hail the opening of the first World's Fair in America in 22 years. series of storms during the period April 9-13. The total rainfall averaged about inches over the Cumberland River Basin, with the heaviest concentration in the vicinity of Nashville.

The rainfall at the U.S. Weather Bureau station at Berry Field totaled 4.64 inches. At the onset of the storm, both Wolf Creek Reservoir (Lake Cumberland) and Dale Hollow Reservoir still contained some of the flood waters stored during the very large flood which occurred early in March. The additional water stored in Wolf Creek caused the lake to rise 13 feet, reaching a height of 24 feet above the spillway crest. This is the highest level attained since completion of the project in 1951.

Dale Hollow had a 6 foot rise, and Center Hill rose 18 feet, causing the water to reach a height of 16 feet on the floodgates. Spillway releases have been made from Wolf Creek and Center Hill since April 13. It is expected that Center Hill will recede below spillway crest level by April 24. With normal weather, Dale Hollow and Wolf Creek will be lowered to Tractor Mishap Kills Farm Hand (From Saturday Morning Edition) CLINTON, April 22 (Spe-Felix Philip Purevick, 40, was killed instantly at 8:30 a.m. today when a tractor he was drivturned over, pinning him beneath it.

Everything (Continued From Page One) special high military court same court that sentenced Jouhaud to death--interrupted his Easter vacation to start work. De Gaulle will meet with the Superior Council of Magistrates Tuesday to review the Jouhaud case in a clemency hearing.

No matter what magistrates recommend. the final decision will be up to De Gaulle. Letters and newspaper editorials have been urging a commutation of sentence for Jouhaud, a native Algerian who said he could not stand idly by while his homeland was being torn from France. Many sentimental factors have been brought into play for Jouhaud that probably cannot be made to work for Salan. At Sante Prison, Salan told police: "I saw too many people for silly reasons.

People that I didn't know. That is probably how I was captured. But it was probable now, or later. What difference does it make? Everything was collapsing around Salan told police he had planned a complete reorganization of the secret army in Metropolitan France and that one of the projects was to kidnap Marshal Alphonse Juin and take him to Ireland. He said that in Ireland Marshal Jain would have been put at the head of a movement for a free French Algeria.

Marshal Juin, a native of Algeria, had expressed sympathy for Salan and the secret army but carefully remained aloof from their activities. He was kept in house arrest for a few days in Paris for sending a letter of encouragement to Salan. Terrorism continued to reign in Algiers and secret army forces early Saturday, fired on a military jeep, killing two of its pants and wounding a third. A short time later a police bus was fired on and two policemen were injured. The secret army has attacked police and army patrols only infrequently in recent weeks, and there were speculation Salan's capture had caused a shift in tactics.

"In the last 10 years we have been improving the property around the 120-year-old courthouse and have it up to what in Livingston feel, is in good shape. "With very limited funds, and seeking to spend taxpayers' money as if it were our own, we built a two-room county judge's office adjoining the old building on the south. "We built a ladies lounge and rest room on the back of the old building. Later, we built three new offices on the back of the old courthouse. They serve the county attorney, sheriff and school superintendent.

Fireproof Vault Fireproof Vault The county then converted an old grand jury room into a fireproof vault for the Circuit Court clerk and generally improved the whole office. "On the north side of the old building we built a four office addition which serves the tax assessor, County Court clerk and provides a large new vault for the valuable and historic records of the Livingston and preceding counties. "On the second floor of the addition, we have new grand jury and petit jury rooms. In the old Circuit Court room we have placed a new gas heating system and air-conditioning system and replaced the ceiling of the room, itself. "The furnishings of the courtroom also have been redone.

"Other new courthouse facilities include a restroom attached to the back and a room to store voting machines when the schedule calls for their purchase. "Recently, the people of Livingston County have financed and let the contract for a badly-needed rest home for our old people who need it. "We also put $11,000 into the modern health center which was made possible by the Hill-Burton Act. "I am not trying to take credit for these improvements. We have had, down through the years, dedicated county officials who did their part and served the county well.

'Unwisely, Hastily' "I merely want to point out that the grand jury acted unwisely and hastily in its critical report and thereby deprived the people of Livingston and its dedi-16 cated officials, past and present, of well deserved credit. "I believe the people of Livingston should have been officially commended instead of criticized. They have done much on their own to solve the problems that face any county with limited revenue.

"In serving as a county official all this time, I believe I have gained more knowledge of our people's needs than a juror who might have served two days in five years.

"I have tried all of my life to treat everybody equally, regardless of creed or color, no matter how they were dressed or who they were.
