Show DESERET oclc -TWASHINGTON (AP) Secretary David M. Kennedy has sold $1.2 millinn worth of bank stock which the chairman of hte House Banking Committee called a conflict of interest. The Kennedy critic, Rep. comWright Patman, mended Kennedy only for starting this action to clear up his conflict. Patman said he would not consider the matter closed until other stock held in trust is sold. Patman quizzed Kennedy April 17 on his interest in Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Co. When Kennedy did not reply, Patmam told newsmen, he ought either to get out as secretary of the Treasury or comply with the Eggers wrote. Eggers said Kennedy had sold his 30,855 shares of the bank stock within a few das of obtaining it through an option. A Treasury spokesman did not give the date but said this sale was before Patman made the conflict of interest charge. Patman alleged Kennedy would be "wearing two on while testifying hats banking bills if he owned the was the One ment announced that 15 Wisconsin counties have sustained a total of $1.8 million flood damage.

The FRAIL COl'SIN Not really. What Id done finally was burped. In retrospect, they weren't really good burps. They surely didnt the Iwnest word belch. Belch has character and body. Burp, the lesser word and lesser sound, is a frail cousin. I did not truly belch, as yet. I burped. And I burped weakly, badly. With the burp, I was still unable to articulate the sound into comprehensible words.On a Friday in January, 1961, Mary and I, and our new dog, Patrick, drove 15 minutes to Hollywood, for my first speech lesson. de-ser- Progress. True progress. present All the broad vowels, plus a couple of the shorter ones. No words, yet. No consonants, except for that B as in Bah. Between the third and fourth lessons, I began to put some of the sounds together, and the consonants started to limp in. I said to Mary one morning, and she beamed. Beautiful, she said. Try it louder. Youre whispering. One day during the eighth or ninth week of my lessons I sat in Dr. Harringtons office, a big grin on my mug, knowing I was setting some sort of world's record for esophageal speech, when Mary spoke up. she said, Dr. Harrington, what should I do? Bill wont stop whispering. Dr. Harrington nodded, his eyes very gentle. He looked across me, to Mary, and he - on damage. o He chatted, and we drank, and I relaxed.

I was fairly wise, by this time, to her need to cry, off by herself. Just as she was wise to my occasional weeping, off by myself. FELT CONFIDENT Pretty soon the first lesson was over. It had no great breakthrough. Nobody would slip me a pocket watch on a street corner. But then, Dr. Harrington seemed pleased. I left, mildly confident.

I stared at the two of them in amazement. What did they expect? I was just getting started. STRAIN A LITTLE told me Dr. Harrington what they he expected. Whispering, he said, was a crutch. Yes, I was getting along fine, and quickly. My speech was far more understandable than most. But because it was, I was satisfied to whisper my few words, and hope the listener would strain a little to hear me. The lesson ended, and I drove back, stony-facewith Mary next to me. I had no doubt I'd keep improving, my own way. I was getting on quite well. I whispered a little. Later, Id speak louder, what I wanted to say. Not for a moment did I believe that Mary would do what Dr. Harrington said. Turn her back. Stop listening. Walk away. It would be cruel, and cruelty was not like Mary.

Wilson said today recent Supreme Court decisions had made punishment of crime less swift and less certain. After first telling a lawyers meeting that no real contribution comes from strident criticism of courts, Wilson, chief of the Justice Depart-e n ts criminal division, made a lengthy attack on the Supreme Court. deHe said the Courts cisions stressing rights of accused persons in the stop and frisk case, the arrest cases, the search and seizure cases, the disclosure cases all of these make punishment for crime less swift and less m certain. This followed a statement by Wilson that "we, as well as the judges, must help shape a working definition of judicial restraint. We will make no real contribution to that end strident criticisms of by appellate courts or of particular appellate decisions. But Wilson said he believes that the only authority the Court has is to construe the language of the Constitution and not to add new provisions to it. If you tinker with the law long enough and hard enough, you may break through the crust and hit that liquid lava just below, he said. I'm wondering if with our youth in revolt against convention and authority our preoccupation with the rights of an accused if we havent shaved away too much of the crust. It does seem that the lava which lies right beiow civilization breaks through too in volcanoes of violence." often Tanker Spews Oil - LONDON Thou- -' (UPI) of gallons of oil gushed sands from the ruptured tanker Hamilton Trader and authorities put beaches along Lancashire and north Wales on an oil alert.
