The new campus is scheduled to be ready for 9,000 students by September, 1964.

Judge Parsons' comment about community resistance came when attorneys were arguing over the powers of condemnation used by governments at all levels for public projects. "In these cases where a group of people within a community brings massive resistance to a change of this type, such action by the community flies in the face of total democracy," he said. "It could be compared with vigilantism." One Example Cited In a discussion of the relocation problem, Judge Parsons read from several of the plaintiff's affidavits, one of which told how a family of 10 persons had been relocated in a four-room apartment. Atty. Milton P.

Webster representing the commission, contended that such cases were exceptions and that the commission was able to relocate 70 per cent of the people in good standard housing. Judge Assails Both Sides in U. oil. Campus Dispute Community groups have no sion, the U. of and the Albert J.

Harno, Illinois court administrator, told the state's judges yesterday that despite the widely publicized backlog characterizing Illinois courts, the state now is in 'Jjfe the forefront of judicial improvements. "The fact is that no other state has en Homo acted more progressive measures in recent years aimed at rpfnrm --j the jmDr0ve- ment of its proceedings," Harno told the annual Illinois judicial conference. The event brought more than 100 state judges together in the Northwestern university law school to hear and discuss reports on major court problems. The session ended yesterday afternoon. Lauds New Codes Harno cited the new commercial and criminal codes and the new judicial article, all enacted by the 1961 General Assembly, as milestones in the state's drive toward better courts.

"Achievements of this magni- tude in a single session of the legislature are rare indeed," Harno said. He noted that data collected by his office, which surveys the court picture thruout the state, show that in 1961 jury cases pending in the state's Superior and Circuit courts rose from 49,142 to 53,038, or 8 per cent. Nonjury cases increased from 51,469 to 52,101. Tells Reasons for Delays The delays of four or five years resulting from the backlog, Harno said, result from different causes in different sections of the state. "Lack of preparation by attorneys and dilatory practices on the part of some cause delays," Harno asserted.

He said further that traditionally judges have "given too little attention to court administration," and this could be blamed in part for the delays. On the brighter side, Harno noted that newly adopted rules for examination and instruction of jurors have resulted in sub- stantial time saving in trials Praise New Medical Rule A 1961 rule on use of impartial medical experts in personal injury litigation has received generally favorable comment from judges questioned about its use, altho it is still in an experimental stage in Illinois courts, Harno said. Harno said that the judicial article, which voters are asked to approve Nov. 6, is "a needed basic reform of the highest order."

x150' Homesites and I'ait of Luke rib 4 sL I I BY ROBERT WIEDRICH The internal revenue service turned its attention yesterday to the financing of Mandel Manny Skar's 10.8 million dollar Sa-hara North motel in Schiller Park. In a terse announcement, Harold R. All, district director, said that intel 1 i it All unit agents of the treasury department were "looking into" ownership of the 250 unit motel because of "the publicity" about Skar's intimacy with major crime syndicate figures. Probe Tax Law Aspects The investigation, it was learned, centers on Skar's claim that he owns all of the motor inn and night spot that opened Wednesday night on a 10 acre tract on Mannheim road, near Irving Park road. A spokesman for All said that the investigation is being con ducted to determine if any federal tax laws had been violated.

The revenue agents will seek to learn how a man who was caught stealing whisky in the 1940s, filed for bankruptcy in 1952, and pleaded guilty that year to a federal mail fraud indictment, accumulated the millions needed to finance hrs motel and other construction interests. Put Under Supervision Skar was found guilty of the whisky theft on the south side in 1943 and was placed under court supervision for a year. In 1944, he was convicted of burglary and put on probation for five years. Then in 1952, he pleaded guilty to the federal mail fraud charge and was sentenced to a year in prison and fined. The penalties were suspended and he was placed on probation for three years.

It was also disclosed yesterday that the interest of the Senate rackets investigation committee has been aroused by official inquiries into various aspects of the motel. Linked with De Stefano Presumably, the revenue service and the Senate committee will probe Skar's close business ties with Rocco DeStefano, a former Capone mob member. DeStefano was associated in recent years with Skar in various construction ventures, in cluding the new Sahara North motel and the 2.5 million dollar, 150-room Sahara motel opened in 1959 at 4501 S. Cicero av. Originally, DeStefano was listed as president of the Sahara Motel corporation.

But Skar now claims that he bought DeStefano's interests in both motels. As recently as last year, however, DeStefano claimed ownership of 50 per cent of the stock in both Sahara motels. Senate Hearing Set Skar's dealings with other top hoodlums also are under official scrutiny. The Senate committee, headed by Sen. John McClellan, is scheduled to start hearings this month in Washington on alleged hoodlum control of some Chicago entertainers and the AFL-CIO American Guild of Variety Artists, to which most belong.

RETIRED JUDGE OPPOSES TV IN COURTROOM A retired federal judge has opposed moves to admit photographers and radio and television equipment to courtrooms during trials, contending that no judge has the right to set aside a person's right of privacy. Robert N.

Wilkin, who was a judge in the northern Ohio district, writes in the American Bar Association Journal that a courtroo m's atmosphere "should be that of a laboratory and not an arena. Courts are not maintained for public entertainment." An association committee has been considering whether to" modify the canon of judical ethics, which forbids cameras and sound equipment in the courtroom during a trial. Proposals have been made to leave the decision on their admission to the presiding judge. The canons are not legally binding upon the court, but most courts follow them. MARINE LEARNS THAT THE U.

S. A. DWARFS RUSSIA MOSCOW, June 8 A former United States marine who defected to the Soviet Union i is on his way home. Lee Harvey Oswald, 24, of Fort Worth, is taking his Russian wife and infant child along with him. A United States embassy spokesman said today Oswald applied to the embassy for a passport last autumn and at the same time asked the Russians for exit permits for himself, wife, and child.

The formalities were completed last week and the three left Moscow by train, he said. They were to continue their trip to the United States by boat. Oswald came here in 1959 after discharge from the marine corps. He apparently worked in a factory in Minsk until he got fed up. 90 Af tital I'irlnrK of Hrarh BY GEORGE BLISS s.

Members of local 150, International Union of Operating Engineers, will vote at seven locations tomorrow from 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. to elect officers.

The Balloting will climax a bit- ter and expensive election cam- Daien for control of the rich and powerful 9,000 member union- as i i i 11 I -i xaigta vi uic su-taiieu opposition party" is James P. Crane, president of local 150. Charges against him include: Failure to obtain a pension plan for members; failure to establish an apprenticeship program; a requirement that members must pay dues altho they cannot work because of illness; and an allegation that he has kept wages and benefits below those enjoyed by some other building tradesmen. Other alleged "failures" also are charged. Crane Cites Treasury Crane has contended that he obtained sustantial wage increases for members without strikes or work stoppages, increased the local's membership from 4,000 to 9,000 since 1954, and built up a union troanrv rvf 914 millirvn Hnllare Tf th evfir'is a strike of lo cal 150 members; the strikers can be protected by the huge treasury, Crane said.

For many years, local 150 was controled by William P. Maloney, who retired on a $50-000 a year pension after he was accused by the Senate labor rackets committee of misappropriating more than 4 million dollars in union funds and running the "most corrupt union in America." Maloney, by keeping the local under trusteeship, prevented members from voting for. officers for more than 30 years untile exposed at the Senate hearings. Successor Appointed First Crane was appointed president of local 150 in 1954 and elected president in 1958 at the local's first election. He said his work has been praised by officials of other unions and that management groups have termed him a "tough but fair" bargainer.

Crane insists that investigations by numerous fed- eral agencies failed to disclose any wrong or illegal acts by him as president of the local. Crane is being opposed by William Martin of Rockford, who said he lost his job as a. business agent after he announced that he was a candidate for president of the lo-. cal. In 1958, Martin and Glenn Stone, the local's vice president, campaigned for Crane.

Stone, who is running for recording secretary on the Martin ticket, and several other former Crane backers holding office in local 150, said they decided to oppose Crane because he was not doing a good job.

Has Largest Graduate Class (Picture on back page) Three Chicago educational institutions graduated a total of 1,529 students at separate commencements yesterday, arid one of them the University of Chicago will graduate 300 more today.

Chicago led in numbers by granting higher degrees to 659 graduate students. Today it will confer bachelor degrees on 300. The University of Illinois presented 440 degrees to graduates of the colleges of medi cine, pharmacy, and dentistry. The Illinois Institute of Technology awarded undergraduate and graduate degrees to 430. Beadle Addresses Graduates Chicago's ceremony was held in Rockefeller Memorial chapel, 59th st.

and Woodlawn where Dr. George Wells Beadle, university president, told the graduates that their chances of becoming a college or university head is high "if past statistics are a reliable guide." "Of the 1,400 of this species university presidents in the United States, about 125, or one in 12, were University of Chicago graduates," Beadle said. "Whatever field you choose," he continued, "you have about 1 chance in 17 of being listed in "Who's Who in America," 1 in 15 of finding your name in "American Men of Science," and 1 in 12 of being included in "Leaders of Education." Estimates Chance for Honors "I estimate your chances of winning a Nobel prize to be approximately 100 times that of the average college graduate. One in seven of the American recipients of such awards was at one time or another at the University of Chicago before, during, or after. "Statistically, your chance of becoming outstandingly wealthy in a financial senoe is small.

Those of you who choose business, medicine, or the law will beat the average in this regard." The University of Illinois commencement was held in the Arie Crown theater in McCor- mick Place withDr. James A. Shannon, director of the National Institutes of Health, Beth-esda, as the speaker. Dr. David Dodds Henry, president of Illinois, conferred the degrees.

Describes Research Grants Shannon discussed in detail the grants and awards made by the institute for research and training in the medical sciences, a major federal program which he administers. He compared the 350 million dollars spent for research and development in the year before the entry of the United States into World War II with the estimated, 16 billions spent for the same purpose in 1961, of which "nearly two-thirds came from federal sources." "In the context of this remarkable expansion of scientific activity in the nation it is irite but nevertheless true to observe that the course of science will have a profound effect upon the destiny of this indeed upon all mankind," Shannon said. "Great demands are being placed upon the scholarly community of the nation and the university structure within which it resides. These demands arise from the clear identification of the importance of the universities and their function in the national security. Fears Loss of Freedom "There is, however, the danger that the thrust of federal action in the necessary safeguarding of the nation's resources will impose terms, conditions, and mechanisms upon the university community which will threaten the essential conditions of freedom so basic to scientific endeavor." Dr.

John T. Rettaliata, president of the Illinois Institute of Technology, conferred degrees last night at the institute's commencement in Orchestra hall. Predicts Strong Competition In the speech to the graduates, Dr. Alan T. Waterman, director of the National Science Foundation, Washington, said that in the face of the present 'high demand for scientists and engineers, the teaching profession faces strong competition research.

"Recent foundation studies indicate that if the 40-year trend is maintained, the number of doctoral degrees in science and engineering will double by 1970," Waterman said. One of the Illinois Tech graduates was. Mrs. Marilyn Wolff John of Milwaukee, who commuted from there to Chicago to study for her master's degree in engineering.

WRIGHT'S ROBIE HOUSE Plan to Restore Famed Building BY RICHARD PHILBRICK The University of Chicago took possession yesterday of the Robie house, famed architectural masterpiece of the late Frank Lloyd Wright, after directors of Chicago Theological seminary removed the last legal jobstacle to the transfer. The house, designated as one of the "seven wonders of American architecture" in a nationwide poll, is at 5757 Woodlawn on the border of the university's campus. A university spokesman said plans would be made to restore the house to the appearance it had when it was the prized home of Frederick Robie, a bicycle manufacturer in Chicago early in this century. Presented by Builder The university received the deed of the house as a gift from William Zeckendorf of New York City, head of Webb Knapp, real estate firm which has played a key role in the rebuilding of the neighborhood of the house and the campus. He purchased the architec tural landmark from the seminary in 1957 for use as an office for his firm while it -was constructing the Hyde Park Shopping center, houses, and an apartment building known as University apartments.

The seminary reserved the right then to pass on any future change of ownership of the Robie house house. Yesterday its directors approved the transfer of it to the university. It is understood that the university, in turn, made an agreement with the theological school concerning university property adjoining the seminary to the north on Woodlawn avenue. Plan to Move School Buildings on the property house the university's nursery school, which is to be moved eventually to a site nearer the laboratory schools of the university. 'After the move is made, the seminary is expected to use the Woodlawn avenue site for ex pansion of its plant.

Planning the restoration of the Robie house and any fund raising that may be necessary probably will be a joint project of architects' organizations, the Society of Architectural Historians, and other groups, with the cooperation of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a university spokesman said. Estimates Cost at $200,000 The cost of the restoration may be as high as $200,000, Ray E. Brown, vice president of the university, has said. He indicated there would be a na tional drive for the necessary funds. University officials said they are considering several proposals for the house, among them use by the university's art department.

They emphasized that whatever proposal is adopted, the house will be open to the public at specified times. CHICAGO TO GET PART OF FAMED ART TREASURE Greenwich, June 8 UP) A collection of modern art valued at $1,500,000 is being distributed among 15 museums in the United States by the Adele R. Levy Fund, of which Richard E. Deutsch of Greenwich is president. Included in the.

Parsons in federal District court at a hearing on an amended suit by the Harrison Halsted Community group seeking to prevent the creation of the new Chicago campus of the University of Illinois on the near west side. Criticizes Commission Judge Parsons criticized one the principal defendants, the Chicago Land Clearance commission, on grounds that the commission had relocated some families in substandard housing in acquiring and clearing the 100-acre campus site. After hearing several hours arguments, Judge Parsons postponed until Monday a new ruling on a motion by the commission, the U. of and other defendants, for a dismissal of the suit brought by the Har-rison-Halsted group. Want Quick Action On May 22, Judge Parsons had dismissed the suit on the motion by the commission and other defendants, but then allowed the Harrison-Halsted group to amend the suit for a new hearing.
