YUSKO CHIROPRACTOR 1325 HIGH ST. BY APPOINTMENT PH. 323-3369 Is Fined for Shoplifting MIAMI, Fla. (AP) Denise Darcel, the bosomy French actress once famed for sexy movie roles, was fined $300 Tuesday for shoplifting $34 worth of underth- ings, despite a show of dramatic talent. After a trial at which the courtroom-packed audience appeared to enjoy her performance, Municipal Judge Arthur Huttoe imposed the fine with the alternative of 36 days in jail.

Miss Darcel posted $500 appeal bond. Even the judge could not repress smiles as the impulsive actress, in rapid-fire, heavily accented English, interrupted witnesses. THREE SAW HER 'Ilirce detectives of Jefferson Stores testified they saw the blonde actress, who says she is 42, stuff brassieres, slifrs and other items into a shopping bag, then leave without paying. Miss Darcel said she intended to pay for the merchandise, and was merely trying to nail down a taxi first, since she was in a hurry. She testified she purchased several items.

William D. Johnson, a special assistant to Gov. Shafer who headed the investigation, said his findings showed that the student protest involved only academic matters without racial undertones. Some $248,000 was earmarked in the original Cheyney budget for this purchase. Other features in the expanded plan would authorize $1.7 million in renovation work for three existing Hall, the Emlen complex and Humphreys Hall.
