PG. S, SEC. 2 - PLAIN DEALER -^APR. 20, 1967 "SHARE IN FREEDOM" CAMPAIGN The 1967 "Share in Freedom" campaign for the sale of U. S. Savings Bonds was launched with an announcement of a companion savings note, to be known as a Freedom Share. The new security will go on sale on May 1. Freedom Shares will be sold only in combination with sales of Series E Savings Bonds, through regular Payroll Savings and Bond-A- Month plans. The new security will earn 4.74 per cent interest when held to maturity -- 4}£ years. It must be held for one year before it can be cashed. Series E Bonds will continue to earn 4.15 per cent interest, when held to maturity -- 7 years. Freedom Shares will be sold in four denominations -- $25r $50, $75 and $100 -- with purchase prices of $20.25, $46,50, $60.75 and $81, respectively. There will be an annual limitation J9> holdings of $1,350 face value. Tens of millions of Americans now hold the popular Sav- $»gs Bonds -- which got their start in May 1941. Today, more than $50.3 billion is outstanding in the hands of bond purchasers, representing some 23 per cent of the publicly owned portion of the national debt. Savii^s Bonds have long been a major tool in the development of thrift habits and in helping the government meet its obligations and combat inflation. It is expected that dollars invested in the new Freedom Shares will be dollars that would not, otherwise, enter the savings market. Sidilighfi Some historians say that Ferdinand Magellan, first European discoverer of the Philippines, did not actually circumnavigate the earth and the honor belongs to Juan Sebastian del Cano, one of Magellan's (expedition members. Magellan was killed, April 27, 1521, during a battle with natives of Mactan Island. Magellan had sailed west to a point 124 degrees longitude east of Greenwich. After Magellan's death del Cano returned to Seville with 31 survivors of the ill-fated expedition. In 1512, however, Magellan had sailed as far east as Banda Island, 132 degrees longitude east Magellan was first, but not in a single trip. • • » ; lames Buchanan, 15th U.S. President, was born near Me rcersburg, Pennsylvania, April 23, 1791.

For Your Information Dear friends. The law requires, that, in all deaths, a death, certificate must be signed by the doctor, and usually the funeral director secures this signature. If no physician was present at the time of death, or if an accident, violence, or auspicious circumstances are involved, law requires that the death certificate muse be tigned by the coroner or medical examiner. This In to protect the public welfare.

Requests for increased expenditures before the Illinois Budgetary commission from the various agencies and divisions of state government (including educational requests) total over $1,708,993,413 to date and they all haven't been heard yet. Appropriations for the current biennium (July 1, 1965 to July lt 1967) total $4.5 billion, and if all the increased requests mentioned above were granted, the budget for the next two-year period would be over $6.2 billion. The Budgetary commission is paring where it can before the requests are finally acted upon by the Governor. Within a few weeks, Governor Kerner will offer his budget, and unless he has a very sharp carving knife, revenue requests will be beyond expectation. Preparing the budgetary document is no easy task. General Revenue funds are adequate for current appropriations, but enough will not be left over to finance the programs already on the books for the next two years. Six Senate bills to improve property tax assessments cleared the House Revenue committee recently. The first of this series was Senate Bill 237, providing for the position of supervisor of assessments in every county except Cock and St. Clair. Senate Bill 238 permits the State Department of Revenue to certify a new equalization factor (multiplier) during the intervening years of a quadrennial assessment period when the county officials present new facts and request a new multiplier. Senate Bill 239 creates an enlarged Division of Local Government on property taxes in the Department of Revenue to aid local governmental officials on an optional basis. Senate Bill 240s ip-grades the salary schedules for township assessors an! requires thsm to attend certified schools cf instruction. Hie final two Senate Bills heard by the House Revenue committee were Senate Bills 241 and 242 and are very important bills. They create a Property Tax Appeals; board at the state level to alUj^ taxpayers to appeal decisions of the Board of Review of all but Cook and St. Clair counties. (Cook and St. Clair have foil lime, elected boards of appeal or review). Such appeals would be heard informally and decided on the manifest weight of the evidence and not upon fraud. Thay could be heard in different areas of the state. The board would be made 19 of three members (two of one party, one of the other party), appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate. Appeal to this board would not be necessary before seeking relief in the courts. \ii u STATE COLLEGE if JI Spirit of sS C-s *-xVv ; Twice Told T FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 21, 1927) The storm which broke over . McHenry and the surrounding country Tuesday afternoon was little short of a cyclone and was the cause of a great deal of damage to property in this section. Many barns were moved from their foundations, doors blown off and windows broken, chimneys blown down, roofs taken off and sheds and smaller buildings completely blown down or overturned. Trees were uprooted and many telephone poles were lying flat. Miss Eva Blake was a guest of honor at a miscellaneous shower given by Mrs. George Justen and Mrs. Louis Stoffel at the home of Mrs. Justen. Many beautiful girfts were received by the guest of honor. The Stoffel house belonging to John Knox is being moved this week to a new foundation on Richmond Road near the cemetery. Tins is a remarkable piece of Work to move this large house without wrecking it in any way. Ground has been broken for a new house on Richmond Road which will be built for M. Kent.

One half million brook trout fingerlings from the state's Spring Grove fish hatchery are now being placed in streams in the northern tier of Illinois counties. Stocking of trout is confined to the northern Illinois Counties because that is the area in the state where the water is cold enough to support trout life. Rural s c h o o l t e a c h e r s throughout Illinois are planning to forego a week of their annual vacation in order to assist in registering citizens for sugar rationing. A beautiful wedding ceremony was performed Saturday evening April 11 uniting in marriage Miss Helen Vanderboom of Round Lake and Private John M:. Bolton of Fox Lake. Rev. Schmitz officiated at the wedding which was solemnized in St. Joseph's church in Round Lake. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 11, 1957) An inquiry into the unexpected death of JosephRehor, 69, early this week resulted in a verdict of death due to a heart ailment.

Drivers who practically crawl along in the traffic lane or who stop with the car only partially removed from the lane are simply setting themselves up as targets for other vehicles approaching from the rear at normal and legal speeds. It is a violation of the law to drive so slowly as to impede the normal flow of traffic or to block traffic lanfes. So to avoid possible arrest on that charge and to avoid rear-end collisions, maintain the normal speed when you are in a traffic lane, and if you cannot do that, pull over to the side far enough *so that you leave the lane free and open for other traffic.

Many contend that several Supreme court decisions regarding criminal interrogation and confessions jure responsible for the alarming increase in crimes of violence. However, the recent report ofthePres? ident's Crime commission apparently endorsed these decisions. Nevertheless, seven members- of the nineteen-man commission voiced a vigorous dissent. These seven experts (including three past presidents of the American Bar association and all of whom have had experience in the prosecution of criminals) charge that the Supreme court had made it all but impossible for police officials to effectively interrogate criminal suspects. Two Supreme court decisions in particular have hamstrung police efforts to curb crime. The first is the case of Mallory v. United States which held that confessions made byaperson during a period of "unnecessary delay" prior to arraignment, are not admissible in evidence during a subsequent trial. How long a law enforcement official may question a suspect before bringing him into court is problematical. In the Mallory case, decided in 1957, seven and one-half hours appeared to be the rule. In 1962, three hours was held to be reasonable; in 1964, thirty minutes, and, in 1965, five minutes! Of course, in five minutes a guilty person would never confess. Unfortunately, an innocent person also must be subjected to the burden of a formal court arraignment under the present Supreme court decisions whereas answering a few simple questions might exonerate him. A second Supreme court case, Miranda v. Arizona, has thrown an even more serious roadblock in the path of criminal investigations. In that case involving a prosecution for kidnaping and rape, the court outlined a series of "do's and don'ts" for police officers. Broadly stated, the Miranda decision held that a criminal suspect being detained by the police must not only be advised (a) that he has a right to consult counsel, (b) that he has a constitutional right to remain silent, and (c) that his voluntary statements may be used against him at trial, but also (d) that he has a right to the presence of counsel during interrogation and (e) that counsel will be provided him if he cannot afford it. In his dissenting opinion in the Miranda case, Justice White said: "The result (of the majority holding) adds up to a judicial judgment that evidence from the accused should not be used against him in anyway, whether compelled or not." The well-spoken minority of the President's commission, and this member of Congress as well, feel that the scales of justice have been tipped in favor of the criminal and against the right of the public to be protected from crime. What is needed is greater concern for the law-abiding citizen instead of the criminal. Therefore, this member of Congress has introduced a bill to insure that only the voluntary character of a confession or admission as determined under the circumstances of each case shall be considered in passing upon the admissibility of a confession or other self-incriminating statement. Under this proposed legislation (H.R. 7092) when a confession or statement is offered in evidence, the trial judge shall exclude the jury and hear the evidence. If the trial judge determines that the confession was voluntarily given, he shall admit it in evidence and permit the jury to hear all the evidence as to the circumstances surrounding it in order to allow the jury to give the confession such weight as they feel it deserves. Thus, a jury which has the right to determine the issue of the defendant's guilt or innocence shall also have the right of deciding the voluntariness of a confession. This time-honored procedure, accepted and approved by the courts prior to the recent Supreme court decisions should be restored by passage and aproval of H.R. 7092.
