Library Bonds May Be On Ballot In September City voters will be asked to approve bonds for a new library, possibly at the time of the September primary, a member of the La Crosse Public Board of Trustees said Tuesday. Board member Quincy Hale told the Kiwanis Club that petitions will start circulating late in April, with a goal of 5,000 signers and they will be directed to the Common Council. A minimum of 3,000 signatures would require the Council to arrange a referendum vote on the bond issue, but Hale said that 5,000 voters signed up in favor of the issue "would insure carrying it." "If we can't get 3,000 signatures, we might as well throw in the sponge," he said. "But we haven't encountered any opposition in talking to trade unions, the League of Women Voters, the American Association of University Women and other groups. "In fact, some feel that we have been almost derelict in not bringing the library matter to a vote before now." The Council -which can order a referendum without the pressure of petitions must arrange for the popular vote if enough signatures are presented to it.

Wallace Louis Hanson, state Democratic party chairman, said Crosse Tuesday night that La Crosse County Democrats "and all other believers in play and decency" should unite in the campaign to defeat Gov.
George Wallace of Alabama. Wallace has filed a slate delegates for the Wisconsin presidential preference primary April 7. Hanson referred to Wallace "the epitomy of the hatred led to President Kennedy's sassination." He charged the Wisconsin people who leading Wallace's drive are ther Democrats nor Republicans, but the "radical fringe ultra right John Birch Society members." He spoke at the monthly meeting of the La Crosse County Democrats. The party adopted a campaign plan and budget submitted Harold Ristow, chairman of committee, calling for support of county party nominees in year's, general election in amount over $6,500.

out that state law requires referendum vote on bonding for public library. A Miss Thurow told how both the number of books and the volume of library use has quadrupled since World War I days. Entire new fields, such as audiovisual materials, lectures, and expanded reference services, have been added. "Reading is a part of community life and education," she said. "Libraries have had more attention since Sputnik.
They were mentioned in the President's message. Libraries are an indication of the climate of a community." The present building, put up in 1888 and added to in 1908, has been condemned for either remodeling or expansion, Hale said. A complete remodeling would cost within $150,000 of the estimated $890,000 cost for a new building "and still be completely inadequate" in space, ceiling height and arrangement. Hale said Robert Rohlf of Minneapolis, an expert in library needs, told the board the present site is the best location for a new building. One -plex to the south of the library's parking lot would have to be bought, and library service moved to temporary quarters for 18 months during construction.
Miss Thurow was asked about the possibility of pooling the facilities of the city and county libraries, or even making it the center for serving other libraries in neighboring counties. She noted that many city (and state) non-residents pay $3 a year to use the public library, and that the city and La Crosse County libraries once were "one entity." John Thomas, chairman of the La Crosse County Board, told Miss Thurow after her talk that he would favor a combined library service. Gov. Wallace Denounced By Catholic Press MILWAUKEE (AP)-Wisconsin's three Roman Catholic diocesan newspapers carried a lead article today suggesting that "voting for racists means cooperating in their evil." The article, Father John T. O'Connor, 1 professor of moral theology at the Scholasticate of the Priests of the Sacred Heart at Hales Corners, did not mention Alabama Gov.
George C. Wallace by name. However, an accompanying editorial in the Milwaukee archdiocesan weekly, the Herald Citizen, said: "Moral evil is invading Wisconsin. Governor Wallace has come to our state. He is publicly known for promoting that type of racism which has been specifically condemned by Pope Pius XI." The article, appearing in the Herald Citizen, the Green Bay Register and La Crosse Times-Review, discusses various phases of the civil rights question.
It finds that what is termed the doctrine of racism is "repugnant" to the church, and warns that "A Catholic cannot call into question the teaching of the church and the recent pontiffs on the evils of racism without denying truths of the faith." Identifies Keys Found On Youth, 17 A West Salem hotel owner has identified six keys found on a 17-year-old boy arrested this week as having come from the hotel and the Harmony Cafe. John Schroeder, who sold the cafe in West Salem March 1, also gave the La Crosse County Sheriff's Department a list of items reported stolen in recent weeks from the hotel and cafe. The boy, a West Salem resident, was arrested Monday by sheriff's officials as a suspect on three breakins of Peterson's Mobil Station in West Salem. He admitted in a statement that he broke into the service station. He said the keys were from the station.
Schroeder gave officials this list of items missing from the hotel and his former cafe: Electric razor, set of dishes in carton, $33; one pair of white cuff links, purchased in 1921, with initials $10; napkins and towels, three dozen teaspoons, cash, candy, cigarettes, $30. Truck Vandalized The motor of a 1960 six-cylinder truck was ruined, the Holmen Cooperative Creamery said Wednesday, after a vand al placed an unknown object or ingredient in the vehicle's oil pan.

Doctor Tells Symptoms, Causes Of Brain Dr. Stephen C. Copps spoke about brain damage in children to the Council for Exceptional Children Monday in Hamilton School.
Dr. Copps, pediatrician at Gundersen Clinic, discussed primary symptoms of brain damage unpredictable behavior, hyperactivity, distractability, impulsiveness, irritability and difficulties in abstract thinking. Many children suffering brain damage may have excellent memories because this part of the brain is unimpaired, Dr. Copps said, and this may cause confusion for parents and teach- ers. A He said it aiso is difficult to understand why many braindamaged children have no mental retardation and are normally intelligent.
Dr. Copps explained how the primary symptoms are evidenced in anxiety, emotional in- Youths Get Jail Terms For Beating Two youths, convicted of battering a younger boy, were sentenced to serve one month each in County Jail Tuesday afternoon in La Crosse County Court. The youths, Jack L. Brush and George W. Kasten, both 18 and both residents of 816 S.
5th had earlier admitted taking part in an unprovoked assault March 9 at 3rd and Pearl Streets on Michael Palmer, 15, of 1726 Liberty St. The younger boy's nose was broken in the attack. A 17-year-old youth also participated in the assault. A second 15-year-old was also injured, though less seriously, by the three older boys. Both Brush and Kasten have records as juveniles and both are on parole.
In court Tuesday, their parole agent, Shannon Apted, recommended to Judge Leonard F. Roraff that the youths be committed to the County Jail. Apted also informed the judge that Brush had money which the state welfare department could order be used to pay, at least in part, the medical bills resulting from the attack. Asst. Dist.
Atty. Burleigh Randolph specifically recommended 30-day sentences for Brush and Kasten. The two were arrested last week following an investigation by Undersheriff William Boma. In their confessions to Boma, Brush and Kasten implicated the 17-year-old. The third youth has been apprehended by city police and he will be taken before Juvenile Court.

Bureau, North Central Ask Review Of Ruling A federal bureau and North Central Airlines Tuesday petitioned for a review of a Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) examiner's order denying consolidation of service at the La Crosse and Winona Municipal Airports. The CAB's bureau of economic regulation, in calling for a "discretionary review" of the order, disputed the findings made Feb. 19 by Examiner Edward T. Stodola.
Stodola denied four proposed 1. La Crosse and Winona; 2. Ashland and Ironwood; 3. Rhinelander and Land O'Lakes; and 4. Green Bay and Clintonville.
The bureau of economic regulations challenged the decision on La Crosse and Winona, and Clintonville and Green Bay, contending Stodola placed "undue emphasis" on air cargo to justify continuing scheduled commercial service at Winona and Clintonville. In the Ashland case, the bureau said Stodola's attempt to continue air service at Ashland after Feb. 16, when it was due to expire, was invalid. A And in the Winona-La Crosse case, the bureau of economic regulation took issue with Stodola's findings that Winona's air cargo is profitable to North Central. "North Central's subsidy need Questions Radar, Gets Fine Reduced A Madison man Tuesday in County Court managed to have a speeding charge reduced because he successfully questioned the reliability of the radar equipment used to arrest him.
Fined $50.20 by County Judge Leonard Roraff was William J. Krebsbach, 34. He also was assessed with the loss of three driving points for the conviction of driving 19 miles an hour over the speed limit. Krebsbach was arrested Sept. 22, by Officer George Ruud on Highway 16, about miles east of Pralle's fruit stand.
He was charged with driving 90 miles an hour at night, 35 miles an hour over the night speed limit. Conviction for driving 20 miles over the night speed limit can draw a $135 fine plus costs and loss of six points. Krebsbach was represented in court by two attorneys, one of whom was reported to be an engineer and radar authority. Asst. Dist.
Atty. Burleigh Randolph amended the original charge to driving 74 miles an hour, 19 over the night speed limit, when Krebsbach produced James Morgan of Madison, said to be an authority on radar. According to Randolph, Morgan testified to the satisfaction of the district attorney's office that radar has limitations. Randolph said a number of cases has arisen in Wisconsin where the reliability of radar's use has been questioned successfully. Sgt.
Stanley Mattison and Officer Ruud testified for the state. Among the facts presented was that Krebsbach had previously been convicted of at least three speeding charges elsewhere and one charge of speeding involving an injury. In addition the court was told, Krebsbach had received at least one traffic warning from officials. UCT, AUXILIARY MEETS United Commercial Travelers Council 94 met in the Odd Fellows Hall Saturday for a joint potluck supper with the auxiliary. will be reduced if service consolidated at La the bureau claims.
The bureau also said Stodola "incorrectly concluded" that Winona residents would be inconvenienced if they had to go to La Crosse for service. It's only a 52-minute drive now, and, after Interstate Highway 90 is done, will be a 38- minute drive, the bureau said. Stodola "significantly" used percentages when he speculated on North Central's loss of northbound traffic if Winona were serviced by La Crosse. North Central in 1961, Stodola had said, has 17 per cent of its Winona loadings going to Minneapolis and St. Paul, and they wouldn't likely drive to La Crosse to fly to the Twin Cities.
This, the bureau said, means a loss of less than one passenger a day. Also, in 1963, Twin Cities loadings at Winona were only 10 per cent of the total loadings, the bureau claims. The North Central petition for a review of Stodola's orders has no direct connection with the La Crosse case, said City Atty. John K. Flanagan.
Stodola's order denying a consolidation at Rhinelander and Land O'Lakes, and approving a regional airport at Mosinee to serve Wausau, Stevens Point, Marshfield and Wisconsin Rapids, and a regional airport at Neenah to serve Appleton and Oshkosh were not contested. through bottom-lands.

More Mental Health Clinics In State Wisconsin, he said 20 of the 21 child guidance clinics in the state have been augmented to provide services to adults. Service includes treatment of those returned from state and county hospitals and to the mentally retarded, Spencer said. He explained that the broadening of the base of services has come about through grants-inaid from the state which provides 40 per cent of the funds.
The local community supplies the balance. Services are on an out-patient basis. Spencer told of trends toward more psychiatric treatment in the county hospitals and said that in some areas several communities combine resources to set up multi-county mental health clinics or centers. Dr. D.
E. Hopkins, president of the council, said the organlization has gone on record to favor the change-over of the La Crosse County Child ance Clinic into a general pose mental health clinic.

Nearly 60 years of La County criminal records are scheduled to be burned soon. County Judge Leonard F. Roraff has prepared an order that 32 volumes of County Court criminal records volumes of traffic records be destroyed. The action is in response to a County Board resolution adopted last fall asking department heads to determine which county records could be destroyed and which must be retained and be moved to the new courthouse next year. The purpose of the resolution is to avoid the cost of moving useless records and the cost of storing them in the new building.
it a Although state law provides that criminal records more than 10 years old may be destroyed, the judge's order would affect only those through April 19, 1948, and traffic records through Sept. 30, 1953. Judge Roraff says that in 1948 County Court judges had power to sentence offenders up to five years on criminal charges. His order is designed to add this five-year period to the 10 years required by law. The 10 years of traffic records which would be retained as result of the judge's order would be about double the amount retained by the state motor vehicle department.
Before drawing his order, Judge Roraff offered the records to the Wisconsin Historical Society. The society sent a representative to examine the reclords.

"If they are no longer wanted for public purposes they should not be turned over to anyone for private purposes." In accordance with the judge's order, the unwanted volumes would be burned in the courthouse furnace. A Records involved begin about 1890.
Although there probably were criminal matters at the court was formally established, county court a level before the records of those proceedingsif in fact there were any records kept--have disappeared. Judge Roraff believes that before the 1890s such matters were handled in justice of the peace courts. In the future, says Judge Roraff, a pile-up of old records could be prevented by destroying one year of old records each year.
