Bethany Divided
Into Factions
By Simple Kiss
200 Irate Parents
Form Committee
At Mass Meeting
BETHANY. Peb. 21—(U.R)—A sim-
ple little kiss divided this "blue
law” town into warring factions
today.
Sixteen-year-old Riddell Riggs
planted the kiss on the lips of
Charlotte McClain, also 16, when
he crowned her basketball queen at
Bethany highschool last Thursday
night.
The peck in public touched off
a strike of about 25 apprehensive
students and culminated yesterday
in expulsion of six of the strikers
after they returned to classes.
At a mass meeting last night,
about 200 irate parents formed a
ciUzens committee to demand re-
instatement of the expelled youths
and dismissal of Mrs. Alonzo Nor-
wood, the school principal.
The group also planned to press I
for relaxation of the rules which
govern their children's conduct in
school.
Students Leave Classes
The students left their classes
Friday afternoon after the two
principals in the bussing incident!
were called into Mrs. Norwood's I
office. She asked them why they
didn't carry out the coronation
ceremony as it had been rehearsed
—without the kiss.
Tile students said they walked
out because they expected reper-
cussions.
Bethany has long been a strong-
hold for believers in the Nazarene
faith. They frown upon kissing in
public, smoking, drinking beer,
dancing and wearing such clothing
as shorts and slacks.
About half of the population of
Bethany is now non-Nazarene,
however, because many Oklahoma
City workers have moved into hous-
ing projects here.
The j'arents group hired attor-
ney Fre-i L. Sl':es to file a petition
with the state board of education
seeking the discharge of Mrs Nor-
wood.

ADDISON, Mich., Feb. 21—(U.R)—
Farmer Gerald Beagle and seven
of his nine children burned to
death early today when fire de-
stroyed their rickety frame home.
The victims’ scorched bodies were
found in the smoldering ruins by
firemen who said they didn't have
a chance against the flames.''
Victims were Beagle, 44; Ger-
aldine, 14; Barbara, 12; Eloise, 10;
Norma, 9; Paul, 6; William 5, and
Linda, 23 months.
The mother, Mrs. Dorothy Bea-
gle. 44, jumped from a second floor
window and ran barefoot nearly
half a mile to the home of Morris
Miller who called firemen and took
her to Addison hospital. Attend-
ants said she suffered second de- I
gree burns and cuts and bruises
but would recover.
Dr. Robert Huebmer said Mrs.
Beagle told him at the hospital j
"there isn't any use going uuti,.
there."
'•They're all dead," she sobbed
"I saw all of them there before I
got out."
She said the fire was caused by
a defective coal furnace, but au-
thorities were unable to verify her
statement immediately.
The two surviving children do
not live with their parents.
The family's previous home was
destroyed three months ago by a
fire caused by an overheated stove.
They moved into the ancient two-
story house a few days later.

pealed, but the original sentences

fendants all are Hungarian na-
tionals. The court sentenced the
Rev. Istvan Justh, a Roman Cath-
olic priest and Kclemcn Domokos,
accountant In the Standard com-
pany, to 10 years. Edina Doery, a

OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. 21—Of)
—An Oklahoma City bond broker
has asked the supreme court to re-
consider his protest, against the
state treasurer's buying the $36,-

C. Edgar Honnold's attorney filed
the rehearing petition yesterday.

court does not have jurisdiction
to consider the case. It further
contends that even If it had the
Jurisdiction, the court must tell
the treasurer what funds can be
used to buy the bonds.
Honnold challenged the language
of the opinion which said all mon-
ey placed in the state treasury

The state expects to save $9,000-
