Classes Set For Drunk Drivers TRENTON Sweeping changes are in the offing for New Jersey's- tough drunken driving penalties, according to state Motor Vehicles Director Ray Marini. Marini said over the weekend that the proposed revisions, which have not yet been fina' lized, would allow persons arrested for drunken driving to recover theri licenses by suc cessfully completing special re habilitation classes. In the case of second offend ers, they would have to present ample evidence they have stopped drinking. These people aren't too un like' the individuals we're treat ing for addiction," Marini said. "But in the case of drunk drivers, we're just casting them off for two to 10 years without making any effort at rehabili tating them." Under existing statues, a first drunk driving offense calls for a $200 to $500 fine, or imprisonment for 30 to 90 days, or both, and loss of driving privileges lor iwo years.

A second offense draws three-month jail term and loss of license for at least 10 years, Two Killed In Andover Plane Crash ANDOVER A sinsle-eneine plane crashed on an Andover field runway yesterday as it was attempting to land.

PHOTO FAIR DRAWS COLOGNE, West Germany The recent photographic-equipment fair here drew an attendance of 232,700, a 28 per cent rise over the previous fair, held in 1968.

Leopold, NATHAN LEOPOLD Scopes Trial, was retained to defend them. "What blind cruel forces drove these boys to their terrible crimes?" Darrow asked. The jury had no answer, but the question raised the shadow of a doubt and both escaped the electric chair. While in prison Leopold set up an educational program for other convicts. He volunteered as a human guinea pig for malaria experiments in World War n.

He continued his studies of languages and by correspondence obtained a master's degree in social work from the University of Puerto Rico. He also made powerful friends. Adlai Stevenson, then governor of Illinois, commuted his sentence to make him eligible for parole. Persons appealing for his freedom included poet Carl Sandburg, detective story writer Erie Stanley Gardner and Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Munoz Marin, He earned $10 a month plus room and board at the Castaner Hospital here until his income was supplemented by royalties from his best seller "Life Plus 99 Years." Almost all of his jobs in Puerto Rico have been research projects for government depart' ments, ranging from tracing the transmissions of parasites in slum dwellings to studying the island's penal institutions to taking a census of Puerto Rican parrots.

He worked closely with the UPI-Courier-Post Telefax 66, Dies, island's leprosy hospital and was once in charge of making case studies of leprosy victims for the University of -Puerto Rico Medical School. During the month-long trial, Darrow assembled a group of psychiatrists to prove the state of mind of the accused. It was Darrow's contention that Leo- pold and Loeb were mentally ill, not legally insane, at the time of the killing. "You may hang these boys; you may hang them by the neck until they are dead, Darrow told the judge. "But in doing it you will turn your face to the past.

In doing it, you are making it harder for every other boy, who, in ignorance and darkness, must grope his way through the mazes of which only childhood knows am pleading for the future." "What blind, cruel forces drove these boys to their terrible crime," Darrow asked. It was his brilliant defense which saved Leopold and Loeb from the death sentence Instead they received identical prison terms of life plus years. In 1936, Loeb was fatally stabbed by another inmate at Stateville. Leopold won his parole in 1958. He immediately left Chicago and the United States for Puerto Rico, where he put into practice the medical knowledge he had received during his prison years.

I asked you to say a few words but I don't want any preaching." A United Press International photographer, Bruno Torres, was knocked to the ground and roughed up by a group of black Panthers who objected to his taking pictures of the burial site. "These leeches don't belong here," Mrs. Jackson said, forging into a cluster of newsmen and photographers. "You're not welcome here. I consider these people, newsmen, my enemies." About 60 persons turned out for the service.

Representatives of the Black Panther party and the National United Front read statements at the graveside. SAN JUAN, P.R. (UPI)-Nathan Leopold, who drove a chisej into the head 14-year-old Bobby Franks in Chicago in' 1924 for the thrill that murder would give him and his pal Richard Loeb, died last night at the age of 66, still unable to forget his crime. Dr. Suarez Benitez of Mimiya Hospital said the cause of death was arteriosclerosis of the heart (hardened arteries).

Leopold bad suffered a series of heart attacks in recent months and was in the Mimiya Hospital when he died at 8:45 last night. Benitez said Leopold's eyes had been given by previous arrangement to the eye bank and that his body would go to the school of medicine. Leopold spent 33 1-2 years in an Illinois prison for what was then called the "Crime of the Century" in the days when the century was still young and superlatives were a way of life. He and Loeb had been sentenced to life, plus 99 years. Loeb was stabbed to death in prison in 1936.

Saved from execution by the extraordinary legel talents of Clarence Darrow, Leopold was eventually pardoned and atoned for his crime as best he could through a series of good works. Bui only last July he told UPI correspondent Margaret Hyman in a rare interview that the crime had and would remain with him as long as he lived. For years following his parole from the Illinois state prison at Joliet in 1958, Leopold em barked upon a course of humility and service to mankind. As "Nate'' he was welcome 1 in the governor's palace and farmer's hut alike and some of those he helped regarded him as a saint. Leopold, whose IQ bordered on that of a genius it was once put at 200 changed in his final months from his placid ways and his temper became explo- sive.

He drove his car fast and sometimes erratically and he became preoccupied with mon- ey, hoping his starring role in a documentary film would open a new career. His associates said he had never really found peace, that he had never made the adjustment to civilian life after 33 1-2 years in prison and that not even a late marriage could make him forget the past. Leopold arrived in Puerto Rico in 1958 and in 1961 he married Mrs. Trudi Garcia de Quevado, the widow of a San Juan doctor, after a romance in which the rabbi of their synagogue played Cupid. She gave up a lucrative florist business and they made lengthy trip to Europe.

Af-' and Asia in 1963, so he could continue his studies of para: and the misery they inflicted on trie human race. Loeb, 18, and Leopold, 19, were two brilliant upper middle class University of Chicago students when they set out May 21, 1924, to commit the perfect crime in what was to be known as a murder for thrills. At 5 p.m., when Bobby Franks, son of a Chicago millionaire, emerged from a private school they lured him into their car and drove to the suburbs where they drove the chisel into his head and dumped his nude body in a ditch. They demanded $10,000 ransom though both men came from wealthy families and neither needed the money. It was not the perfect crime a pair of spectacles found with the body were traced to Leopold.

He and Loeb were indicted and tried. The prosecutor demanded the death penalty, but Darrow, fresh from his defense in the Dayton, Home, 112 Broad Riverlon, N.J. Interment Odd Fellows Cemetery. Viewing from 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday.
