Local Buy-Rite club faces 78 counts of mail fraud
Bennington residents representing Buy-Rite Buyers Club were charged in Brattleboro federal court with 78 counts of mail fraud and related offenses. The indictment lists Selma Jane Stuchel and William H. Stuchel of Bennington and three other individuals plus three New Jersey corporations. The scheme reportedly drew over 50 000 members who paid seven dollars to access supposed factory prices for more than 20 000 items, only to be directed to a second club for full access and an additional fee. Bail amounts ranged from 1 000 to 5 000 dollars, with several defendants released without surety. The case follows a long Post Office Department investigation spurred by widespread complaints. The Greater Bennington Association notes ongoing concerns about Buy-Rite.

Nothing Gained In Rusk Soviet Berlin Talks
Secretaries of State Dean Rusk and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko returned to their capitals after a three hour meeting in Geneva with no significant progress on the Berlin dispute or the disarmament talks. They discussed a German peace treaty but no breakthrough was reported. The Western position that a Soviet East German peace treaty would not erase Allied rights in Berlin remained unchanged. Progress toward general disarmament and a nuclear test ban treaty was not seen.
