Peak Appeal Plea Heard in Indiana Supreme Court
Indiana Supreme Court heard opposing arguments in Milan attorney Robert Peak s appeal of his highway scandal conviction. Only five judges were present with Judge Amos W Jackson disqualifying himself. Peak was sentenced to 13 years for falsely attributing the Dean Burton deed to a back tax on the Madison Ave expressway. Hamilton argued Peak had no knowledge of a Dean Burton, Dean Burton’s identity later tied to Nile Teverbaugh’s former right of way chief. The state contended Peak lied repeatedly and the statute and evidence were clear.

Big 3 Truce Bid Includes Troops Limit
The United States Britain and France offered Russia a five point Berlin ceasefire plan to freeze Western troops in West Berlin in return for Russian guarantees of the citys freedom. Gromyko gave no immediate reply but Russian diplomats showed interest. Western officials view the proposal as a working paper to break two weeks of deadlock at the foreign ministers conference in Geneva. It would cap West Berlin garrison at about 10,600 troops and seek assurances of free access for all parties without infringing on Soviet authority over the zone.
