Shift Irks Parents Board Rejects Appeal To Keep Pupils in Walter French By ROBERT STUART (State Journal Staff Writer) Lansing board of education Thursday night turned down west side residents, protests over a junior high school boundary change. By unanimous vote the board approved a boundary change be tween Walter French and West junior high schools which is aimed et reducing crowded conditions at Walter French. About 150 students will be affected by the change.

The new ruling requires that all new seventh graders living west of Logan and south of the Grand river will attend West junior next fall rather than Wal ter French. A number of parents in the Elmhurst, Barnes and Lewton school areas have vigorously protested the boundary change, which was recommended by Supt. Dwight H. Rich. TRAFFIC FEARED Parents argued that it would require children to walk through a dangerous traffic situation at the Logan st.

bridge and that the hazards there are too great to justify the shift. However, in a resolution read by board member Harold Moore, it was stated that the board had considered a number of alternative plans and found no satisfac- See Parents, Page 2 Col. 1 Assassins Fail in Try On Guevara MIAMI, June 3 W1 An attem.pt to assassinate Ernesto (Che) Guevara, a top leader in the Cuban revolutionary regime, failed last night, the Miami News reported today. Instead, members of an organization called La Cruz (The Cross) shot and may have killed Capt. Acosta Cordero, an assistant to Guevara.

Hal Hendrix, Latin America editor of the News, said members of La Cruz told this story: The assassins, who reportedly have other top revolutionary leaders marked for death, waylaid Guevara's car in Marianao, a residential suburb of Havana. They riddled it with bullets, hitting Cordero and two other men. Guevara, however, was not in the car as the assassins had hoped. Cordero was taken to a hospital and was reported to have died there. slammed into a bridge abut- Expects Delegates' Support Governor's Endorsement Follows Parley at Mackinac Island By WILLARD BAIRD (State Journal Capitol Bureau) Sen.

John F. Kennedy, endorsed by Gov. Williams Friday, seemed likely to bag most if not all of Michigan's 51 delegate votes in his drive for th Democratic presidential nomination. The nation's only six-term governor announced his support of the tousle-haired Massachusetts senator after a "Michigan Related Stories on Pages 25, 33 Picture on Page 25 summit" conference with Kennedy Thursday afternoon at Mackinac Island. When the parley broke up, Williams released a previously drafted statement which said, "Sen.

Kennedy is my choice for president of the United States." Joining in the conference with Williams and Kennedy were Michigan's other top Democratic party leaders State Chairman (Neil Staebler, National Commit teeman Thomas IL E.

Their m-esence nn thi by invitation of the rovemnr. signified solid support for the j-year-oia lront runner for the Democratic presidential nomination by party's top echelon in Michigan. EXPECTS DELEGATES' SUPPORT Williams made it clear in his prepared statement that he spoke only for himself and was not attempting to commit all of the 102 delesates who will cast Michigan's 51 votes at the Dem ocratic nominating convention in Los Angeles.

Williams and other Democratic leaders of Sen. Kennedy for President does not necessarily carry down to the rank and file delegates who will be voting for the presidential nominee at the Los Angeles national convention next month.

A sampling of central Michigan delegates by The State Journal indicated that Kennedy is not re- ceived by most of them with the same warmth as he was embraced by Williams. Tm still for Symington," said O. E. Latchaw of Charlotte, a delegate from the third district, "but I'm not committed to any one. Latchaw said he felt Williams was lining himself up for second spot" on a Kennedy ticket.

(State Jour-Grand Ledge school bus, out- nal Photo) ing bound for Potter park, School Bus Here 90 Acres Included 1 in Area Two Tracts Purchased Already; John Denimer Is Owner Impressive progress on devel opment of a second industrial park near US-16 northwest of Lansing was revealed Friday. The park, embracing 90 acres east of Grove extending from US-16 north to State is being developed by John E.

Demmer, local tool and die manufacturer, with Harold Bodine of Home Realty company acting as agent. The Demmer industrial subdivision announcement follows by a week the sale of the 306-acre Creyts farm, along highway US-16 in Clinton county, to Chi- (Picture on Page 2) cago and Lansing men for development of Greater Lansing Industrial park. Two tracts totaling 18 acres already have been bought as sites for light industrial or warehouse buildings in the Demmer acre age. Mr. Bodine said an offer with deposit has been received for another four-acre parcel.

Work is expected to begin within 30 days on construction of a new location for the Tri-County Beverage company, on a 10-acre tract at Grove rd. and highway US-16. Dominick Novella and Anthony Piacenti, part ners in the company, said bids are about to be taken on a ware house measuring 150 by 140 feet, and that this building will be doubled in size to accommodate a Pepsi-Cola bottling plant in a year or two. PepsiCola, one of several son armies nanaiea Dy the company, now is brought here from a bottling plant in Grand Rapids. Eight acres fronting on US-16 are owned by Capital Equipment company, a distributor of farm equipment.

Alton Graeff, manager, said the property was bought last year as site for a new location that will be built probably two years from now. NEW ROAD PLANNED With the industrial project in mind, Mr. Demmer and his wife, Marguerite, acquired the land popularly known as the Leon Felton farm three months ago. Twenty-three acres of the prop erty currently are on option. A new road, to be named Fel ton will be put in from US-16 to State running lengthwise through the center of the devel opment.

Parcels will be cut off in sizes needed by purchasers, Mr. Bodine said. Boy, ii, Electrocuted KEENE, N. June 3 UP) William H. Renz, 11, was electrocuted when he climbed an electric tower to examine a bird nest Thursday.

3 Engineers Awarded Pay Hike CHICAGO, June 3 Cf) A six-man arbitration board today awarded a 4 percent wage increase in two steps to 40,000 engineers on U. S. railroads. The carriers lost their bid for a wage cut of 15 cents an hour. The arbitration award is ex pected to set a pattern for settling wage disputes with another 760,000 workers in the operating end of the industry.

These in clude firemen, trainmen, conductors, brakemen and switchmen, with whom the railroads have been unable to reach agreement Today's decision came nearly two months after the board began hearings to decide the en gineers demand for a wage boost and the carriers' request for a pay cut. The board awarded a 2 percent pay increase effective July 1 and an additional 2 percent effective March 1, 1961. Under the ruling all fringe benefits, in effect under an earlier agreement, remain in force. The cost of living allowance in effect May 1 17 cents is to be part of the existing rates of pay. Aged Care Bill OK'd Limited Plan Approved By House Committee; Cost $340 Million WASHINGTON, June 3 UP) A house committee today approved a strictly limited plan for health care of the needy and near-needy aged.

Estimated to cost 340 million dollars a year, he plan is designed to benefit about 1M million persons aged 65 or older, not so needy that they must have public assistance for ordinary liv ing expenses but unable to meet substantial hospital or doctor bills. The states wouW set up and administer the program as an extension of existing public welfare efforts and determine, with in federal standards, benefits and eligibility. Of the estimated annual cost, the federal government would contribute 190 million dollars, the states 150 million. Depend ing on the financial condition of the various states, the federal share would range from 50 to 65 percent.

Picketing Ban Upheld NLRB Rules Unions Can't Force Employers to Initiate Dealings WASHINGTON, June 3 The national labor relations board held unanimously today that any picketing to force an employer to initiate dealings with a union is illegal. The ruling is an important interpretat.on of the ban against recognition picketing contained in the new labor law enacted by congress last year.

The ban is intended to prevent an employer from being forced to deal with a union until his employes decide they want the union. Teamsters Union Local 239, Long Beach, N. argued that such picketing by a previously unrecognized union is illegal only if the picketing is accompanied by force such as violent or mass picketing. But the board held that even peaceful picketing is illegal when its object is to compel the employer to enter into relations without the employes' consent, or to force employes to select the union as their bargaining representative.

U-2Renort Test Likely Senators Express Little Hope Their Verdict Will Be Unanimous WASHINGTON, June 3l-Senators who looked into the administration's handling of the U-2 spy plane incident expressed little hope today that they can draft a unanimous report on their investigation. With few exceptions, bipartisanship dominated the four days of closed-door heanngs which ended yesterday.

But such solidarity will meet more severe test next week when the foreign relations com mittee meets to consider draft- ing a report in this presidential election year. Chairman J. William Fulbnght (D-Ark) said yesterday "It would be unusual, if not unprecedented, if we got a unanimous report on an incident of this kind." He added: "Any criticism of past mis takes should not be interpreted as displaying disunity or lack of patriotism. Sometimes it is more unpatriotic to close our eyes to mistakes."

'pHE national political power which New York bigwigs enjoyed for so many years during the Roosevelt-Lehman and Dewey Rockefeller regimes may vanish at the July conventions because of internal feuding at the top in both parties. Regardless of the November outcome, whether it propels Nixon, Kennedy or some other to the White House, the center of political gravity, like the population, will shift westward. New York's 45 electoral votes cannot be neglected, but the Empire State's politicians will no longer exert their former influence in national politics either at the White House or on Capitol Hill.
