Carroll last Friday. The delay was asked by Herbert Krens of Gary, assistant attorney general. The two state officers were among several defendants in the suit filed by Mrs. Dorothy Larson alleging that the school is controlled by the Catholic Church. An answer was filed by the Sisters two weeks ago. Since that time State's Attorney. Don A. Wicks has asked the court to dismiss the complaints against the county superintendent of schools, the board of supervisors and the county. It is possible that a hearing on the motion to dismiss proceedings, filed by Atty. Wicks, may be heard before the case goes to trial following the sixty-day extension granted the state officials. Later Monday, Mrs. Larson's attorney asked Judge Carroll for a change of venue on the grounds that she would not be granted an impartial trial. Action on this request will be taken Friday* » (Bulletin -- With twentykight of the thirty-eight residential teams and three of the busiAepa district .teams £$- •portiAg', the total a*mount of money turned in to date In the Boy Scout Fund drive is $1,018.21.)
