Burial will be in the family plot in the Catholic Cemetery, CASE OF MARCH (Continued from rage One) a voluntary leave of absence in May.” i Under questioning by Porter, March then outlined his duties under the three titles he has held with the Monroe school system. He said his duties were the same although he had three different titles. Lester objected, saying what his duties were had no bearing on the case. Judge Lopez over-ruled the objection, March concluded his direct ex- amination by saying that the school board never had critized him and that he never had been given a continuing contract. On cross examination, Lester asked March when his employ- ment with the school board had stopped. “don’t consider that it has stopped,” March replied. “I didn’t ask you that,” Lester said. “I asked you when did your! employment stop.” George Wright, Miami attorney who is assisting Porter, objected, saying Lester was arguing with the witness, Judge Lopez told March to ans- wer the question. “My pay stopped June 30, 1953.” March said to Lester, “Does that answer your question?” “No,” Lester grinned, “so I'll ask you this: During your 1952-| 1953 employment, did you have contract?” “Yes,” answered March. “Is that the last contract you had! with the school board?” you had any further con- tract?” “No,” said March. ‘Are you familiar with the school/ code (Florida laws governing the| Public school system)?” Lester, asked, “T believe no,” March said. “I believe so.” “At the signing of your fourth annual contract, you knew it was for one year?” Lester asked. “That's right,” March replied. “Do you remember where you ‘were when the contract was hand- ed to you?” Lester asked. “In the school office,’ March said. “Did you ask Mr, O'Bryant whey he had not given you a continuing contract?” Lester questioned. “Yes,"" March answered. “Did you ask him immediately; following the signing?” "Nes." “You didn’t refuse to sign the contract?” “No,” March said. “Obvisouly 1 didn’t refuse to sign it since I signed it.” The hearing continued this after- GROUP 4 NEJL SAUNDERS testimony might be continued to- ‘morrow, survived | by her husband Mr. Herman Gor- |future but Tito countered with a files.

Nor was there any indication in Rome that Italy was sending more troops to her northeast frontier! with Yugoslavia, where the finest soldiers of the NATO-pledged Ital-' ian my mips are ee Reports from area si even routine weekend leaves had been canceled. No Italian troops had entered the Trieste territory yet, but Washing- ton sources expected the U. S. and (British forces would not be with- drawn until the Italian soldiers had jmoved in. In Trieste, Italians and Yugo- slavs watched eacn other through barb-wire roadblocks closing the zonal frontier but there was little evidence of nervousness. American and British troops were packing up. Diplomats in London and Washington said the evacuation would take six weeks. ‘A top American commander in Tri- este told a staff meeting yester- day the departure “may take long- er than expected,” Three American destroyers were in Trieste but U. S. naval officials in asserted they were on routine business not con- nected with the present crisis. Conference Slated At United Nations -headquarters| in New York, a Yugoslav spokes- man said Ambassador Vladimir ‘Popovic, his ition’s envoy to, Washington, planned to confer to-| day with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Trieste was Austrian ' before ‘World War I and Italian after but was split into the two occupation zones at the end of World War II. The Italian Peace Treaty desig- inated it a free territory under an international administration but Russia and the Western Big Three Ihave never been able to agree on a governor. In 1948, while Tito still was al- lied with Moscow, the United States, Britain and France said the entire territory should go to Italy. After Tito’s break with the Krem lin, Big Three backing for the Ital- ain clajm gradually subsided. In .late August, trad moved troops up to the frontier and ex- pressed fear Yugoslavia would for- mally annex Zone B. The Italians demanded a plebiscite to let the Trieste population settle its owr demand that the port city be in-; ternationalized and the rest of the area be given to Yugoslavia, Zone B Te Yugosiavs The British-American announce- ment of withdrawal said Yugoslav- jen support. “That depends,” he replied, ‘on one’s interpretation of commu- nism.” His wife said that was her answer also, Asked about her frequent at- tendance at Moscow-sponsored conferences in Eurupe, Mrs. Ja- gan, who once studied nursing in friends where we can find them.” Jagan charged that British talk about a plot was a smokescreen to ‘cover scrapping of the Constitu- tion. He said the British, “figured no party would emerge with a big majority in five or ten-years. The people liked our program and up- set their scheme and we obtained a majority of the Assembly. This meant that the laws we were pass- ing—which struck at the citadel of imperialism—would have to be accepted or vetoed by the gover- nor, thus exposing the limitations of the Constitution.” In the elections last spring, Ja- gan and the PPP yot only 51 per cent of the popular vote but won 18 of 24 seats in the new Assembly because the opposition was badly split. Jagan said he and several other PPP leaders hope to leave this week for England to plead the case of the fallen government and win! Radio Programs Set By K. Of C.
