Voice of the People:
Several weeks ago the city
editor made an appeal in hi;
column for public interest in
Community Chest for Dixon
May I outline some of the rea
sons why the American Cancer So
ciety, among other national organi
zations which necessarily raisi
funds, does not subscribe to this
federated fund raising idea?
First: Informed opinion holds
that one big combined campaign
will not raise the total amount of
money that four or five separate
drives will yield. The average
giver will contribute only a cer-
tain maximum amount at one
given time no matter how many
agencies are to benefit. Then,
too, the workers are apt to lack
the enthusiasm for a united ap-
peal which they would normally
(eel for their one favorite organ-
ization.
* * *
Second: Group fund raising de
nies the potential contributor any
choice in giving. Most people are
naturally more interested in the
work of one organization than an
other, often for personal reasons
If the giver is forced to support all
or none, a feeling of dissatisfaction
might result.
Third: Each organisation's
campaign for funds- In accompa-
nied by its own form of public
education, a distinct IOM to each
in the event of one,..coiiUtraiUty
drive.
» • *
For these reasons the Illinois Di
vision. Inc., American Cancer So-
ciety, does not agree to accept
money from a Community Chest
aince it feels that by so doing the
number of cancer'deaths would un-
questionably increase.
During April, designated by con-
gress as Cancer Control Month,
volunteer workers for the Ameri-
can Cancer Society call upon peo-
''ple to secure their contributions
and to inform them about recog-
nizing cancer's seven danger sig-
nals. At this time national and lo-
cal publicity through press, radio
and television is a tremendous fac-
tor in informing thousands of peo-
ple otherwise unreached.
Calling the attention of the in-
dividual to signs of cancer in its
early stages and the Importance
of the time element in consulting
one'* physician is undoubtedly
the most effective weapon in
•aving lives now. Fund raising
and education go hand in hand.
When one gives his money to
help fight cancer, he feels he has
a stake in the whole program of
cancer control.
In 1953, the American people con-
tributed $18,000,000 as a nation,
11,099,900, as residents of Illinois
and $7,402.70 as Lee county resi-
dents to the American Cancer So-
ciety. These figures must prove
that the society has many friends
who believe in supporting through
independent fund raising the three-
fold program of research, educa-
tion and service to cancer patients.

City Editor's Note: Community
Chest dos not imply IOM of reve-
nue for any fund-raising organ-
ization or the desertion thereof.
OrfMtestions set budgets Mid
they are incorporated hi the sin-
gle budget. Enthusiasm for one
organization or another would
surely balance itself and act for
the'general benefit. The Cancer
Society's education program cer-
tainly could jo on unimpeded.
This writer, and others, foresee
a frowing dissatisfaction over
the continuous clamor for fund*
by more and more organization*.

Doctor Accused of Attempt
To Kill Wife With Cyanide
Feeds Her Capsules for Digestion;
Analysis Reveals the Deadly Poison
KANSAS CITY—(to—A prominent Kansas City obstetrician is charg-
ed with trying to kill his wife by tricking her into taking deadly cyanide
in a digestive capsule.
A warrant charging Dr. Hugh
G. Hamilton with attempted mur-
der was served on him Friday in
a hospital where he is recuperating
from a leg fracture. Today is Ham-
ilton's 49th birthday.
No motive was disclosed. Prose-
cutor Richard Phelps said the
charge was based on information
provided by Mrs. Martha Hamil-
ton. He said cyanide was found in
a capsule given her by her hus-
band.
A small bottle of cyanide cap-
sules was found in a pair of Ham-
ilton's trousers at the hospital.
Phelps said that Mrs. Hamilton
lad been taking digestive capsules
for a number of years and had
planned to purchase a new supply
t>ef*,-e going to California earlier
this year to visit relatives. He
quoted her as saying her husband
insisted on obtaining the capsules
lor her and she decided, on reach-
ing the West Coast, to have the
medicine analyzed.
Phelps said the analysis showed
raqes of cyanide in the medicine.
Hamilton is being kept under 24-
hour guard in his hospital room.
Dr. Hamilton d e n o u n c e d the
charge as "fantastic and absurd,"
but declined to elaborate.

President's
Plan Lags
In Congress
Democrats Jeer
At Inactivity;
April 'Crucial'
WASHINGTON — <£>>
Se'n. Ferguson (R-Mich) call
ed today for a speedup in ac
tion on President Eisenhow
er's legislative program in
what he said will be the make
or-break month of April.
Democrats, meanwhile, gibed "a
the Republican leadership forwha'
they called failure to push through
the President's proposals.
- Ferguson said in an interview
he will ask the Senate Republican
Policy Committee, which he heads
to consider next Tuesday a sched
ule aimed at bringing to the Sen
ate calendar in the next five weeks
all of the bills covering the Presi
dent's major recommendations.
Must Move Faster
"Unless we get these measures
out of committee by May 1 anc
on the calendar where they are
ready for Senate action, I am
afraid some of them just aren't
going to get passed before our
scheduled July 31 adjournment,"
he said.
The Michigan senator said he
thinks the present uproar over the
controversy between Sen. McCar-
thy (R-Wis) and Army officials is
obscuring
the Eisenhower pro-
gram.
In Omaha, Republican National
Chairman Leonard W. Hall said
Friday night the McCarthy-Army
dispute "has done more harm than
good."
But he asserted the Eisenhower
program is "now moving through
Congress," and said it "is designed
to keep us sound economically by
building more industry, more jobs
and a healthy agriculture."
Program Is Issue
Eisenhower has predicted that
what- he calls his "dynamic, pro<
gressive" program will be the
principle issue in the November
elections.
. .
Thus far the Senate has passed
only the St. Lawrenoe Seaway bill
and an excise tax measure not
wholly pleasing to administration
leaders, who had to accept more
reductions in such levies than they
would have liked.
-The House has set a much fast-
er pace but has not yet taken up
measures involving the reciprocal
trade program, social security ex-
pansion, farm price supports and
revision of the Taft-Hartley act.
Democratic National Chairman
Stephen A. Mitchell said in Gary,
Ind., Friday night that because of
the row between McCarthy and
Army officials he doubts "if the
average citizen even recalls that
the President has a program."
No Action
"It is now 78 days since that
so-called 'dynamic1 program was
unveiled—and so far we see not a
single piece of it enacted," Mitch-
ell said in a speech. "We await
action on agriculture, on for e i g n
trade, on the St. Lawrence Sea-
way, on Taft-Hartley, minimum
wages, housing, social security,
medical research, hospitals, high-
ways, conservation, and all the
rest,"

Charles Delph, 17, Dixon, was
charged with aggravated assault
and battery following his arrest to-
day by Lee County Sheriff John
Stouffer.
Delph was picked up on a com-
plaint signed by Lyle Taylor, Dix-

striking him Friday night.
According to authorities, Delph
allegedly attacked Taylor for no
apparent reason.

were out together Friday night
when Delph suddenly turned on
Taylor and struck him.

Lack Counsel for
McCarthy -Army
Sen. Mundt May Be Forced
To Delay Start of Probe
WASHINGTON—Iffl—Finding a special counsel to handle senate in-
vestigation of charges Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) and high army officials
have aimed at each other is proving to be a tougher job than some
senators apparently had expected.
Even Sen. Mundt (R-SD), who
will preside at the televised public
airing of the charges before the
Senate investigations subcommit-
tee,
acknowledged that it now
seems "less possible" that the
hearings can get under way next
week as he had hoped.
McCarthy, the subcommittee's
chairman, has agreefl to let Mundt
run the hearings.
Mundt and Sens. McClellan (D-
Ark) and Jackson (D-Wash), plan-
ned another round of effort today
to line up for the job a lawyer who
would qualify as neutral and cap-
able, would command public con-
fidence by his record — and would
be willing to take on the job.
The- three senators, serving as
a
s p e c i a l
subcommittee to
nominate the counsel, kept secret
the names under consideration.
There were indications they got
a turn down Friday from another
prospect. They previously had an-
nounced that William J. Jameson,
president of the' American Bar
Assn. on the advice of its board
of directors, had declined an in
vitation to serve.
Mundt had spoken during the day
of having three candidates under
serious consideration.
He
later
mentioned only two, and declined
to elaborate. Other sources, how-
ever, said .the third man had said
"no."

Bank Depositors Asked to
Accept Embezzlement Loss
CLIO, Ala.—(fl—A creditors' committee sought unanimous agree-
ment from depositors today to take a 10 to 15 per cent loss so a $75,000
deficit in the Clio Merchants Exchange can be liquidated without a
court fight.
Eighty-six of an estimated 200
customers of the unchartered, un-
insured money exchange agreed on
the settlement at a mass meeting
Friday night, but another 40 or so
took the prepared agreement con-
tracts home.
Mayor Empowered
The creditors' committee, head-
ed by 29-year-old
Mayor Dan
Easterling, was empowered to act
on behalf of the townspeople and
the defunct exchange provided all
depositors are willing.
One dissenting vote, however,
would automatically void the pro-
poced settlement because any dis-
gruntled depositor could force the
troubled affairs of the privately
operated
check-cashing
agency
into bankruptcy.
AbMnt from the meeting in the
high school auditorium was Royall
Reynold*, 40-year-old president of
the exchange whose 12-day dis-
appearance earlier
this
month
brought on an investigation which
•Rowed the $75,000 shortage in hie
He was in jail in Clayt&n, Ala.,
the county seat, on embezzlement
charges.
Explains Plan
Mayor Easterling explained to
the approximately 125 depositors
who showed up last night that a
court fight over the money would
cause long delay in getting the
money back to depositors and
probably will result in a much
smaller rebate.
The mayor said the exchange
president and his wife have al-
ready deeded
their
fashionable
brick home over to the depositors
and cashed in $5,000 in bonds Fri-
day.
The ultimate repayment of IS or
90 cents on the dollar is based on
the agreement of other member*
of the Reynold* family to give up
some $33,000 in claims to their
share of exchange deposits, plus
the 72-year-old nearly blind fath-
er s promise to put up 114,00* out
of hi* pocket.

Franklin. Is
Crash Victim
Auto Sideswiped
By Passing Car
On Alt. Rt. 30
A 49-year-old proprietor of
a Dixon music studio was
killed at 8:45 a. m., today in
an auto mishap on Alt. Rt. 30
about three miles west of
Franklin Grove.
Mrs.
Esther
Gluts,
Franklin
Grove, operator of Cluts Music stu-
dio, on Second street, just west of
Galena avenue, was fatally in-
jured on her way to work this
morning.
The accident occurred on Alt. Rt.
30, near the farm of George Eh-
men, St. 1, Franklin Grove.
Forced Off Road
According to Robert Burrs, Lee
county chief deputy, the car driven
by Mrs. Cluts apparently
was
forced off the road by another ve-
hicle driven by Glenn F. Huff, 16,
Rochelle.
Burrs said both cars were head-
ing west toward Dixon when the
Huff car attempted to pass. As he
drove alongside, the right front
tire apparently blew.
As a result, the Huff car swerved
into the side of the car of Mrs.
Cluts, shoving her vehicle off the
right side of the road and into a
culvert.
The Cluts car bounded off the
culvert and leaped about five feet
into the air before it landed on its
roof. Mrs. Cluts -landed beside the
car which had bumped the Ehmen
garage, about 50 yards from the
Ehmen farm home.
KSB hospital reported Mrs. Clut*
dead on arrival.
The Huff car was turned com-
pletely around and came to a halt
on the right road bank, approxi-
mately 75 feet from the Cluts ma-
chine.
Huff was taken to the hospital
for examination.
The deceased Is the wife of
Maurice Cluts, Franklin Grove, an
employe of the Dierdorff Plumbing
firm. Franklin Grove.
Mr. Cluts was working when in-
formed of tha accident.
Burrs said he did not know yet
whether any charges will be filed
against Huff.
The chief deputy said rcp'orts
indicated the speeds of both cara
weren't in excess of what could
be considered reasonable and sale-
Mrs. Cluts had lived in Franklin
Grove more than 20 years. Sh«
taught music in the Franklin Grove
school before and after her mar-
riage. She had operated her Dixon
studio about one year.
In addition to her husband, she
is survived by three step-children,
Mrs.
Bernice
Ventler. Ashton;
Burnell Cluts, Kansas City, Kan.,
and Glenn Cluts, Elgin.

Plywood's Specialty
Horn* woodwokera have
long:
been fond of plywood for its man;
favorable
characteristics.
Chie:
among them is its tendency to re
gist warping and twisting.
That fact, plus tfie added ad
vantage that it is readily obtain
able In much wider panels than
natural lumber, and that it can be
purchased with hardwood veneers
that duplicate the finest grain
patterns of natural Iumber,makes
plywood a workshop "natural.1
Its uses have lin.its, however, and
natural Irmber is still essential to
almost every kind of woodcraf
project.
The two general types of ply
wood are Exterior and Interior
Waterproof Douglas fir plywood is
used for all exterior applications
because its plies are bonded with
synthetic resin, which stands up
under extremes of weather.
Interior plywoods range from
Douglas fir, a softwood, for wal
and ceiling panels, subfloors, stor
age units and many types of fur
niture, to hardwood-veneer types
mentioned before.
Highest grades of Exterior and
Interior plywoods are made in
widths of 2'2, 3, 3'i and 4 feel
and lengths of from 5 to 12 feet
Lower grades come in a shorter
range of sizes.
There are several grades and
classifications of plywood adoptee
by the Douglas Fir Plywood Asso
ciation as standards for the in
dustry.
For instance, the highest grade
of either Exterior or Interior fir
plywood is called A-A, or "good
two-sides." That means both sides
•re sanded smooth and have high
quality appearance. Plywood des
ignated A-B is a common work
shop^grade. It has one sound side
suitable for fine finish, while the
other side has small, tight knots
or other slight imperfections.
The lowest grade the handyman
Is likely to use is the A-D grade
for wall and ceiling paneling, anc
other uses where only one face
will show. Of course this grade
costs less than either of the others
mentioned.
Thicknesses of plywood range
from >•£ Inch for hardwood veneer
construction to 1'* inches for
Douglas fir Exterior grades.
Hardwood
plywood is
graded
differently from the Douglas fir
Asphalt Roofing
Versatile, Suits
All Structures
Buildings of all sizes, shapes, and
purposes can be suitably roofed
with at least one of the many dif-
ferent types of asphalt roofing ma-
terial. The asphalt roofing industry
supplies 80 to 85 percent of all the
roofing now required in the United
Slates, according to the U. S. De-
partment of Commerce.
Asphalt shingles are the most
widely used roofing material for
homes. Their combination of wea-
ther-resistance,
color,
economy,
long life, and fire-resistance has
led to their selection for about four-
fifths of all new homes as well as
for new roofs on older dwellings.
Asphalt roll roofings are often
selected for farm buildings and
other service structures. Roll roof-
Ing, like asphalt shingles, is pro-
duced in numerous solid and blend
«d colons.
"Build-up" roofs are used for
flat-roofed structures. A roof cf
this kind is "manufactured" on
the roof deck by applying several
layers of felt, which are saturated
and bonded together with liquid
asphalt.

Color Makes House Taller
To make this ranch-style home look larger than it really is, the
color designer relied on pastel roofing and siding in a blending color.
Exterior colors, as indicated by numbers, are: The roof (1) is pastel
nuset asphalt shingles. Sidewalls <2) are coral. Trim (3) is light
and the accent color on the door (4) is peacock.
For this small contemporary dwelling, the illusion-creating colors
are: The roof (1) is brown asphalt roofing. Siding (2) is a blending
ligbt brown. Trim (3> is off-white. The accent color (4) is willow.
Your house will appear taller
and wider than it actually is if
you take advantage of the extra
dimension of color.
Light-color asphalt shingles are
well suited to modem one-story
houses because they draw the eye
upward, emphasizing height and
creating an impression of impor-
tance. Because the roof usually is
the largest unbroken area of a
house, it is the key to the whole
color plan. The roof color should
be chosen first.
The next step is to choose har-
monizing siding, also in a light
color. To emphasize the bright
roofing and siding, doors should be
in dark, contrasting hues. This
gives much the same effect as
wearing a dark tie with a light
Colored suit. The illusion of great-
er size will be increased if trim
paint matches siding.

Significant changes in the home
building pattern of America were
forecast Thuisday as a segment of
the booming prefabricated house
manufacturing industiy held its
national sales meeting in Dixon's
Loveland Community house.
The prefabricated home saleb-
men are dealers for GBH-Way
Homes, Inc.. of Walnut, 111.
Keynote of the convention, the
14th annual session of the Walnut
firm's salesmen, was announced
by Everett Mitchell, whose "It's a
beautiful day in Chicago" has be-
come a byword through 30 years of
radio. But yesterday, E v e r e t t
changed his familiar greeting to:
"It's a beautiful day in Dixon!"
Better Methods
He complimented the piefabri-
cated home building industry for
working out better methods of
making better homes available in
America.
"Today's piefabricated
house.
p r o d u c e d by organizations as
yours, matches the best m conven-
tional builcling," Mitchell said.
"Most important, such building
methods put high quality homes
within reach of families who could
not afford such houses.
"In effect, you are selling much
more than houses. You are doing
a community service—because a
good
home means high living
standards and fine family rela-
tions."
Preceding his t a l k , Mitchell
showed colored slides which he
and his wife took in their travels
to foreign countries. He used them
to show advantages America holds
in things as housing and living
standaicls.
Keen Competition
Master of ceremonies for the
meeting, held in Dixon for the
third successive year, was-rChfford
M. Hill, president of the Walnut
organization.
Hill told house salesmen every
one of them knows the era of k_een
competition Is here.
"Our
shipments for January,
February and March are practical-
ly doubled over last year. Weather
and quality and new features in
our type of building have helped.
Most of all. our inciease is a dem-
onstration that a hard-hitting sales
organization can get business when
the chips are down."
He said FHA and the VA *are
helping to make building credit
easier Another significant trend,
he said, is toward larger houses.
The three-bedroom house is much
more popular now than formerly,
and many families are asking for
four bedrooms.
Do It Yourself
"And let's not overlook the very
real and important appeal of 'Do it
yourself.' because many families
are pitching in and actually doing
much of their own woik, in order
to get a really nice house," Hill
said.
Other speakers from the Home-
Way staff at Walnut included Wal-
lace W Bass, vice president and
purchasing agent; E:;L T. Jauch,
engineer in planning and lesearch;
George E. Gonigam, assistant en-
gineer; Robert L. Myers, designer
and advertising manager; Emmett
R. Myers and Gene Johnson, sales
supervisors, and Charles D. Hill,
manager of the lumber and build-
ing depaitment of Gonigan-Bass-
Hill Co.. of Walnut.
John W. Loots, treasurer and
chief of the loan division of the
Fidelity Life Insurance Co., was
complimentary to the expansible
house idea.
Bob Pei ry of Dixon was a mem-
ber of the panel of (talesmen who
presented an entertaining series of
right and wrong ways to handle
prospects.
Among the new features which
were "unveiled" and discussed for
the sales organization, a new and
modem low-pitch roof line of
houses was given top interest. Thi
latest development of the Walnut
research and
planning division
uses newly developed roof trusses
for a house that is 24 feet wide,
with 3-foot extended cornices. Indi-
cations are that a large percentage
of pi-oduction this season will be of
this new line.

PLUMBING and HEATING
Mount Trophies
On Quickly Made
Plyivood Plaque
A plaque or rack of hardwood
plywood will provide an ideal
background for setting off a trophy
on the den or game room wall.
Plywood is well suited for this
purpose because it is easily ob-
tained, will not split, and is work-
ed easily with ordinary tools by
the home craftsman. The beautv
of the genuine hardwood grain will
make the prized object look all
the more impressive.
To mount a cup or a model, at-
tach to the plaque a semi-circular
stand made of the same type of
plywood as the plaque. It can be
supported by wood brackets.
Many prized
objects
can be
mounted on small dowels stained
to match the plywood plaque. A
Unique treatment is to inset small
powerful permanent magnets into
the hardwood plaque if the object
to be mounted is of metal with a
steel or iron base. The advantage
of using magnets or dowels is
that the mounted object can be
plucked off its resting place for
Quick use or to allow admiring
friends to examine it rnore close-
iy.
Magnets can often be used with
materails other than metal by in-
setting in them a small
steel
spline, as might be done with the
wood handle of an antique pistol.
The pistol would be supported by
two magnets, one at the barrel
and one at the handle, opposite the
spline, with a dowel through the
trigger guard for added support.
The plaque should be made of
hardwood plywood which is at
least -Vinch thick. If magnets are
to be used, they should be lecess-
ed -"-I inch. In that case, a piece of
plywood si inch thick should be
glued to tne plaque to provide
backing. The edges of the plywood
plaque should be beveled. Because
the amount of wood involved will
be small, the craftsman may wish
to invest in one of the more un-
usual hardwoods. In any case, an
important pait of the job will be
to give the hardwood a natural fin-
ish so that the beauty of the gram
may contrast with and enhance the
prized object to be mounted.

Biggest Garden Thrill Is
Raising Plants From Seed
A true dirt gardener, who grous her own flowers, shares a
royal hobby centuries old.
Amateur gardeners assert that
their do-it-yourself hobby is not
only the most widely practiced to-
day, but the most ancient of all the
avocations now followed in leisure
hours by millions of Americans.
They can cite history to prove
that the fascination of growing
your own plants has appealed to
men since history began. Ancient
rulers with armies of servants
found pleasure in planning gardens
and personally planting them.
The Persian emperor Cyrus laid
out a park in front of his palace at
Sardis and proudly told Lysander,
the Spartan, that his own hands
had planted many of the trees.
Not every garden owner today
can make the same boast as Cy-
rus. But garden club members will
agree that the keenest thrill to be
won from this hobby is experienced
when a flower blooms on a plant
which grew from a seed or bulb
which you planted, like Cyrus, with
your own hands.
The difference between growing
a garden and admiring t h o s e
grown by others finds a parallel
in athletic sports. No spectator can
ever share completely the physical
benefits and sense of achievement
which the player enjoys.
While its greatest rewards are
in mental and physical health,
gardening with your own hands m
these times pays substantial mate-
rial profits which the whole family
can share.
On a small plot most of the
vegetables needed by the average
family can be grown in fewer
hours work than it would take to
shop for them in the market.
Decorative gardening not only
rewards the gardener but adds
substantially to the value of the
home where it is piatticed.
The social contacts which devel-
op from activity in gatdenmg are
not the least of its rewaids. The .
rapid expansion of the gaiden club
movement among both men and
women is based upon the spread-
ing interest m this hobbj.
Many clubs requne that their
members be "dirt gardeners" who
plant things with tneir own hands.
To qualify for membership m this
fraternity, winter is an excellent
time to begin. A seed box in a
sunny window gives the best of
all initiations to the practice of
plant growing. Every tiny seedling
can be seen as an individual, de-
pendent on your care, and by
watching its progress or decline,
as you succeed or fail, lessons can
be learned far more quickly than
in the garden.

Authoritarian Efficiency Lies Only
In Hiding Inefficiency
Bv their nature, democracies muddle through. At times,
their warmest advocates grow exasperated with the delays,
the confusion, the inefficiencies and the backing and filling
which mark the process of popular decision.
In these moments, some people cast longing glances
toward the authoritarian governments, where common re-
port has it that dictation from the top produces a high de-
gree of efficiency, of centralized action, without inordinate
6 The phrase, "he made the trains run on time," heard
so much in Mussolini's day, expressed quite well this some-
what envious thought. Now, in Communist China, it is the
Reds, who are making; the trains run on time.
But in truth, this whole notion is an illusion which
does not stand up under close inspection. A few examples
from Nazi Germany, billed as the great colossus which did
everything right, will reveal the fallacy in this outlook.
After the war. when we could interrogate thousands of
men who were involved in the German war effort, we learned
•just how "efficient" Nazi rule really was. The fact was that
k was a horribly bungling regime which kicked away an
amazing number of opportunities to advance its cause of
conquest.

Two years after the great war began. Hitler still did not
have arms production organized on a sensible basis. In 1942,
with German legions expending 400 million rounds of bullets
a month in Russia, the Nazis were producing just 115 million
a month.
As Theodore White reports, Hitler "flicked his war pro-
duction about as the whim took him, ordering, canceling,
guessing, exhorting, without reference to fact, figure or sta-
tistic." The armed services ordered irrelevantly; priorities
were a jumble.
Another instance: Germanv lost a great battleship, the
Scharnhorst, largely because German naval air reconnais-
sance was so indifferent the ship's commander began duelling
British ships without knowing a British battleship of supe-
rior fire power was among them.
One man, Herman Goering. was responsible for this loss.
As boss of the air force, he was contemptuous of the navy
and its need for air guidance. The German navy never got
the air protection most navies have.

These errors grew out of government by dictate, by in-
dividual whim. The democracies made mistakes in the war,
too.
And big ones. But the democracies had one saving
grace. Their errors were subject to the corrective of criti-
cism.

In lands where freedom rules, most decisions are put
under public scrutiny, questioned, debated, hammered at,
even reversed if need be. Thus, all the inefficiencies are ex-
posed, and performance often seems worse than it is.
In totalitarian countries, errors are suppressed and thus
are compounded and magnified. To the world they offer a
facade of perfection. But it is jerry-built, and conceals a
host of weaknesses.
No. we need not envy the authoritarian way. And though
we dare not grow complacent about our defense, we ijeed not
fear the authoritarians, either.

Instead of giving her a lecture on

Instead of waiting for him to no-

him right in to look at them and

Instead of trusting himself to
remember such important dates as

makes a note of all such events on

The Mature Parent
Youth's Long Dependence
On Us Is Hard on Them, Too
By MRS. MURIEL LAWRENCE
Last Christmas vacation
Beth
came home from college in an odd
mood. In her recent holiday be-
tween semesters, her mood was
even odder.
She took down an illuminated text
of The Lord's Prayer that had been
a childhood gift—and hung a Picas-
so print in its plar-c "It's too holy j
for me. mummy," she said. "SU< k
it in the guest room, will you0"
She criticized her mother's table
cloths as "cultural relics." She
attacked her fathers politics until
he exploded, roaring. "If I have to
pay $2000 a year to have you
taught to call me reactionary, I'll
find another way to invest my
money!"
As the final shock, she announced
that she had reversed her decision
to become a kindergarten teacher
and would become an archeologist.
.
Her parents felt suddenly old and
tired. For a moment her mother
contemplated the vision of Beth in
a tropical topee pulling statues out
of ruins, then rose from her chair.
"I'm going to bed," she said weak-
ly. "I can't cope any more."
Dr. George E. Gardner of Bos-
ton's Judge Baker Guidance Cen-
ter has spoken helpful words for
these occasions.
"My best advice in the face of
this behavior," he says, "is the
tried and true phrase of the men

by the unpredictable and seeming
ly uncontrollable, they comfortec
themselves and each other with th
words, "It^will pass, It will pass.' '
My personal feeling is that i
will pass when Beth has begun tc
earn her own living.
In the meantime, it's hard on
her paients. To maintain a mutual
ly self-respecting relationship with
the grown child whom they finan
dally support is not easy. As thei
situation is duplicated for thou
sands of other American parents
perhaps it's time that its prob
lems were brought out into the

young people are still in university

their bills are paid by our energy
their rejection of our values is no'
easy to accept.

Surgery Is Making Strides
In Treating Varicose Veins
Bv EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
It's Handy
NORFOLK. Va. W— The Jack of
All Trades of the navy is the Con-
ecuh, once a combination raider
and replenishment ship of Nazi
Germany.
Under United States jurisdiction
it has been converted to do the
combined work of a fleet oiler,
ammunition ship, provision ship
and stores-issue ship—all while
under way. It is classed as the
fastest ship (20 knots) among serv-
ice fleet auxiliaries.
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
Mrs. S. and several others of
the hundreds of thousands or per-
haps millions of sufferers from
varicose veins have written me
asking for a discussion of this sub-
ject or of the ulcers resulting from
them. It is an important problem
indeed since so many suffer either
from serious difficulties or at least
in their appearance.
Although varicose veins and
varicose ulcers are primarily dis-
eases of the middle and later
years of life, • younger people are
also sometimes troubled with these
conditions. Occasionally they even
seem to be a family ailment.
r
*
*
Standing too much, overweight,
childbirth,
chronic
constipation,
the wearing of tight bands around
the legs or hips, all apparently
contribute to the development of
varicose veins. Hence, as in so
many disorders of mankind, an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.
The veins near the surface of
the body all have folds or valves
which prevent the blood from flow-
ing the wrong way. The pressure
on the valves in the veins of the
legs Is especially great and they
are often broken. When this hap-
pens the necessary support is less-
ened and the vein becomes swol-
len. It is these swollen blood ves-
sels which are called varicose
! veins. Swollen veins are unsightly,
and women especially dread them
for ifcis reason almost as much as
because of the complications which
they may produce.
* • *
People who have varicose veins
are more likely to have swollen
feet or ankles than those with
normal veins. Also the poor cir-
culation brought about by varicose
vein*? can produce uclers.
Such
ulcers sometimes become enorm-
ous and cause open sores.
Several ways of treating van*
cose veins and ulcers have had
much success. The use of elastic
bandages which support the widen-
ed and enlarged varicose veins is.
of course, an old remedy and
helpful in many cases.

Varicose veins are often tied or
I removed by surgery. Injections for
j varicose veins have been used for
| many years. Injections act by clos-
ing the opening of the^ varicose
vein entirely so that the blood
must now through some other
vein which is normal or lies deep-
er in the tissue. At present, sur-
gery seems to be becoming more
popular as a treatment and in-
jections less so.
The treatment of ulcers is still
difficult, though several methods
are fairly successful. It in best to
try to prevent serious swellings
or ulcers by taking proper care of
the varicose veins when they first
appear.

A Saturday Night Historical Notebook
Happy Birthday to Amboy... A Boom Town... Church Builders... A Town Named Bath
By ROGER THOMPSON
Telegraph Staff Writer
In lieu of a large cake with 100 candles, we hereby
extend our congratulations to Amboy and its residents
on that community's 100th anniversary.
It was 100 years ago today, March 27, 1854, that
the town was surveyed, laid out and recognized as a com-
munity. As Amboy, making plans for
a centennial observance later this year,
begins its second century, we'll go back
to look into some df the town's "firsts."
*
*
*
*
After the town was laid out, the first
homes built were those of L. W. Bor-
den,
E. S. Reynolds and Dr. David
Bainter.
Amboy quickly became a boom town
due to the Illinois Central railroad. In
1855 large company shops were built,
Ronr
and by the spring of 1856 the population of Amboy was an
estimated 1,000 persons.
On July 31 the same year the
Lee County Times reported (perhaps cver-enthusiastical-
ly) "We have now between 2,000 and 3,000 inhabitants."
The papers also said the town boasted two churches,
about thirty stores, a steam planing mill, three hotels,
twb livery stables and a host of other establishments.
The first merchant was R. D. Peironett, and the sec-
ond was Samuel Goldman. Josiah Little was third in
1854 with a drug, hardware and grocery business. Wilcox
& Wooster built a store the same year. The lumber was
hauled from Mendota and the stone from Lee Center.
G. H. Ambrose and Francis Little started the first bank
in 1855. The railroad shops in their busiest time provided
employment for 400 men.
The first Amboy school was a two-story brick
building erected in 1857, the name year the com*
munity dropped the title of village and incor-
porated fc» a city.
The earliest religious group, designating itself "Church
of Jesus Christ" was organized in Amboy, June 27, 185*.
Catholics held their first meetings in the home of Michael
Egan in 1854. A church was begun in 1857, but destroyed
by fire before its completion. It was rebuilt and finished
in 1859.
Baptists held an organizational meeting March 24,
1855.
Their church was dedicated Sept. 13, 1857. The
Methodists also built their first church in 1857, and had
a Rev. Thayer for the first pastor.
A Congregational church was organized June 17, ISM.
The first regular minister was David We'rt.
Its first
church building was dedicated April 1, 1858.
The Episcopal church was organized in the spring of
1859.
A Mr. Brodnax was the first rector.
The Free Methodist Society was formed about 1*4,
and its first regular pastor was a Rev. Miller. The so-
ciety later merged with mud was replaced by the United
The First Evangelical Lutheran church was organ-
of the Illinois Central, was the first mayor of Amboy,

killed in the service of his country.
Amboy once was the home of an unusual court.
A. C. Bardwell recounted its story in his history of Lee
county.
"Amboy once po<we*sed a court, the like ef
which was nowhere else to be found in the county.
Alonzo Kinyon, one of the ambitious men of the
period, was a member of the Legislature in ISM,
and procured the pawage of an act, approved,
March llth of that year, establishing 'The Court
of Common Pleas of the City of Amboy.' It was
an effort to duplicate the Circuit Court.
The
judge and, clerk were to be elected and receive the
game salaries as the Judge and Clerk of the Cir-
cuit Court.
The city marshal was given the
power* of a sheriff, and the court wa» empowered
to appoint a Master in Chancery.
The act, as
approved, gave the court chancery Jurisdiction,
but another act was approved the same day tak-
ing away thta power. Mr. Kinyon'* plan was car-
ried into effect by hi* *wa election u Judge, and
the tribunal became known an 'Kinyon'» Court.'.
It accomplished the purpose of its creation until
the Constitution if 1S7A went into effect and wiped
it out. The records of she court were all destroyed
in the fire of 1871."

*
*
It is interesting to look at the list of famous names
which in both large and small degrees were associated
with early Amboy history.
Abraham Lincoln—On his way to Freeport to debate
with Stephen Douglas during the 1158 campaign for the
Senate. Lincoln spoke in Amboy the previous day.
U. 8. Grant—Who was to become the great com*
mander for the Union 'in the Civil War and later Presi-
dent. He visited Amboy frequently to buy hides for his
Galena tannery.
George B. Mcdellan—The man who later was to com*
mand the Army of the Potomac in the Civil War. He was
a civil engineer for the Illinois Central, and had head*
quarters in Amboy during the building of the railroad.
Carson, Plrie and Seen—The pioneer merchants who
formed their first partnership in Amboy, and went on to
build a great merchandising empire.
Owen Lovejey—Brother of the abolitionist martyr.
Elijah Lovejoy. crusading journalist of Alton. Owen wai
a prominent abolitionist in his own right and served in
the U. 8. House of Representatives.
Augustus N. Dickens—Brother of famed novelist,
Charles Dickens. Augustus was editor of the first Amboy
newspaper, The Lee County Times.
'
Kebert G. lageraelV-The gnat agnostic, as a youth,
worked In Amboy. His father was a Congregational min-
ister serving the Lee Center area.
M A
We all think of the community as "Amboy," but it
narrowly missed having a different name.
An early report aays when the residents of the
area got together to name the place, they chose
"Bath." However, Lorenzo Wasson, who went to
Dixon to report the name to the county commis-
sioners, took It upon himself to change the name
to "Amboy."

Insecticides Control
u?
*
Summer Insect Pests
By JUNE PILGRIM
So many folks have asked the question of what to do with those
pesky boxelder bugs. H. B. Petty sent me some answers recently. He
is assistant professor of entomology with our extension service.
Control, he says, begins by eliminating all seed-bearing boxelder
trees. The bugs feed on boxelder seeds. They do
not feed on food or cloth. Insecticides are the best
practical control, and one should thoroughly spray
the trunks and the ground around the seed-bearing
boxelder trees. This is best done in late summer
and early fall. Sides of a house might also be
sprayed where the bugs cluster.
Lindane of a ,5% spray will give a quick kill.
One-half pint of 20% lindane concentrate in ZYa gal-
lons of water will make a .6% lindane spray.
Another material, dieldrin, used at .25% will also
give good control. Make it by mixing ȣ pint of 20%
June Pilgrim
concentrate of dieldrin in 2 gallons of water. These materials should
be applied to the sides of the house and foundation and a three-foot
strip along the house where bugs are clustering. Applications may have
to be repeated at one to two-week intervals.
Lenten Meals
Why not try some rolled stuffed
fish fillets for those Lenten meals?
Frozen fish fillets are easily se-
cured these days. Prepare a herb
butter by creaming \'3 cup butter
with 3 tablespoons minced parsley,
2 tablespoons minced onion, 1 tea-
spoon grated lemon rind, *fc tea-
spoon salt and a few dashes of
pepper.
Separate and cut a package of
fillets to serving size portions.
Place a tablespoonful of herb mix-
ture on each fillet and spread. Roll
the meat up like a jelly roll and
fasten with toothpick.
Place rolls in a well-greased
baking dish. Dot the top of each
fillet with remaining butter mix-
ture. Bake in a 350 degree oven
for 25 minutes. Remove the tooth-
picks, garnish with lemon wedges
and serve plain or with a tomato
sauce.
Use of Wax
Some places where homemakers
might consider the use of wax—
which will make her future jobs
easier (use paste type wax):
1. Waxing rods in the clothes
closet while you have put clothes
out to air. Hangers will move more
easily.
2. Wax traverse rods—makes
draperies easier to pull back and
forth and they are less likely to
stick.
3. Wax the bottoms of tables and
chair legs; they will move more
easily and cause less marking on
hard floorings.
4. Wax ash trays. Ashes don't
stick so badly to them.
5. Wax the wastebasket (metal)
so dust and dirt won't stick and
collect on it.
6. Waxing the telephone will
keep it from collecting
finger-
prints.
7. Wax painted or oilcloth cover-
ed shelves in your cupboards. They
will be easier to clean and dishes
won't stick.
8. Wax a wire clothes line and it
will be protected against corrosion
and be easier to wipe clean for
each use.
9. Wax window sills for extra
protection from blown in moisture,
dirt and soot that collects, particu-
larly in an urban area.
Use Pastry Canvas
Piecrust and other soft doughs
will be easy to handle with no
sticking if you use a pastry canvas
and a knit cover for your rolling
pin. The trick is to rub the canvas
and rolling pin cover full of flour
and keep them that way while you
are using them.
With care, you will be abl* to
use your canvas several times
without washing. Scrape bits of
dough and as much flour from the
canvas as you can so that they
won't becomt rancid. Then store
the canvas in a plastic bag or
wrapped in a clean dish towel.
When you wash the canvas,
brush it first, and then soak it in
cold water. Wash it gently with a
small brush and lots of hot' suds.
After washing on both tides, i rinse

MRS. MINNIE E. MALL
ASHTON —(Special)— Funeral
•ervices for Mrs. Minnie E. Mall,
79, Ashton, will be held Monday at
2 p.m. in Evangelical church here
with the Rev. Romaine Tenney of-
ficiating. Burial will be in Ashton
cemetery. ,
Mrs. Mall died unexpectedly in
her home Friday.
She was born in Bradford town-
ship, Lee county, March 18, 1875,
the daughter of Conrad and Mar-
tha Rice Krug. She married John
C. Mass March 8, 1895, in Brad-
ford township.
She is survived by two daugh-

Alice Burhenn, both of Franklin
Grove;
six grandchildren;
ten
great-grandchildren, and a sister,
Mrs. Martha Mall, Ashton.
Her husband and a daughter pre-

envoy be declared persona non
grata— not welcome in Italy.
A group of Communist, left-wing
Socialist and pro-Red independent
senators made the request in a
written interpolation for the Senate
record
Friday. The government
must answer the interpolation, but
it does not call for a vote.
Heading the list of signers was
Communist Sen. Ottavio Pastore,
editor of the official Italian Com-
munist party newspaper L'Unita,
which has carried on a vitriolic
editorial war against Mrs. Luce.
The interpolation inquiries of the
government "if they intend, as is
necessary, to communicate to the
government of the United States
that Ambassador Luce no longer
is persona grata because of her
intervention in the internal affairs
of our country ..."
Declaring an envoy persona non
grata automatically forces the gov-
ernment of the country he repre-
sents to recall him.
The senators did not explain
what they considered Mrs. Luce's
"intervention."
But
Communist
newspapers in the past few days
have claimed it was Mrs. Luce's
work that brought a recent an-
nouncement by Premier
Mario
Scelba that his government will
crack down on the Communists un-
der new, tougher policies.
Scelba can be expected to reject
in the bluntest terms the leftist re-
quest to get rid of Ambassador
Luce.

Sentenced
To Death
TOKYO (ft— A Pennsylvania ser-
geant who confessed he got "com-
plete sexual satisfaction" out of
strangling to death a pretty little
American .girl was convicted to-
day of premeditated murder and
sentenced to die.
M/Sgt. Maurice L. Schick, 29,
World War II Purple Heart veter-
an from Cannonsburg, Pa., stood
stiff and erect, his face impassive,
as he heard the verdict and sen-
tence of a court-martial panel of
three generals and four colonels.
His Army-appointed defense aP
torneys based their entire case on
the contention Schick was insane
when he strangled chubby, auburn
haired Susan Rothschild, 9-year-
old daughter of an American Army
colonel, at the huge Army housing
area south of here last Nov. 21.
Supporting their contention that
Schick was insane, the defense put
two Japanese civilian psychiatrists
on the
stand.
Both
diagnosed
Schick as schizophrenic.
Schick's conviction and sentence
is subject to three automatic re-
views
— by the commanding
general here, the Military Board
of Review in Washington, and the
U. S. Court of Military Appeals,
composed of three U. S. civilian
judges. Before he can be executed,
his case also must be reviewed by
President Eisenhower, who can
commute the sentence or reverse
the court-martial.

French Plead
For Time to
Move Wounded
HANOI, Indochina Cf) — The
French today stepped up radio
pleas for a brief cease fire to per-
mit planes to move their wounded
from Dien Bien Phu.
But the Vietminh continued their
constant bombardment of the be-
sieged northwest Indochina for-
tress.
The French high command for-
mally accused the Communist led
rebels of flagrantly ignoring red
crosses m a r k e d on transport
planes flying mercy missions.
French Commander
in Chief
Gen. Henri Navarre appealed per-
sonally in a broadcast to Vietminh
Commander Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap
and gave assurances the red cross
marked planes would be used only
for carrying out wounded.
The French kept up air attacks
today on the Vietminh positions
ringing Dien Bien Phu, and ground
patrols thrust warily at the attack-
ers.
The Vietminh, meanwhile,
brought in more fighting power
and continued to dig an intricate
trench system around Dien Bien
Phu's barbed wire barricades.
The French claimed to have de-
stroyed a long string- of foxholes—
some within 200 yards of the barb-
ed wire barricades defending the
fortress—arid killed 42 Vietminh
soldiers.

Truman Snipes
At McCarthy's
Investigations
KANSAS CITY IB—Former Pres-
ident Harry S. Truman said Fri-
day he had heard that some "fool
Americans" had been accused of
spying in Siberia. He suggested
in an obvious reference to Sen.
McCarthy
(R-Wis),
that
"that
great investigator be permitted to
go to work for Malenkov and find
out what they were doing there."
"He wouldn't be bothered by the
Russians because they wouldn't ob-
ject to his methods," Truman told
400 visiting chemists.
The former President addressed
a luncheon session of the Ameri
can Chemical Society's division of
chemical marketing and
econo-
mics. The society is holding its
125th meeting here.
Truman went on to say he had
heard that Dr. Linus Pauling of
the California Institute of Tech-
nology had been "charged
with
investigating red corpuscles."
Pauling, a former president of
the chemical society, was named
by the House Un-American Activi-
ties Committee three years ago
as being active in what it termed
a Communist "wide-world peace
offensive."
Pauling denied that he had ever
been a Communist. Truman said
the chemist had to go before a
committee and explain what red
corpuscles are, adding:
"I suggest professor Pauling con-
fine his investigations to white cor-
puscles."

Ill Dram Act Suit
MORRISON — (Special) — The
operators of three Whlteride coun-
ty taverns were named as defend-
ants in a $540,900 dram shop suit
filed Friday in circuit court here.
The suit was filed by Ruth
Mickley, Prophetstown, for herself
and her five children, all minors.
The defendants are Ralph Teach
of the Pico club, Tamplco; Arth
and Marjorie Egert and Charles
Schryyer of Seeley's tavern, Lyn-
don, and Harley and Charles Ro-
man of Roman's tavern, Prophets-
town.
Mrs. Mickley and her children
each ask $13,000 from each of the
defendants.
The suit charges that Mickley,
husband and father of the plain-
tiffs, was a passenger in car driven
by John Poulter, Prophetstown, on
March 1, 1953. It says the Foulter
car collided with another on Rt. 30
near Rock Falls.
Poulter suffered a fractured back
and is partially paralyzed, accord-
ing to the suit. The complaint says
Poulter obtained liquor in the tav-
erns operated by the defendants
prior to the accident.

Club Stronger as
It Starts Journey
Home; Kiner Ready
10 Mesa, Ariz.—UP)~The Chi-
cago Cubs have
departed
from this little Arizona town
and the general feeling is that
they are destined for better
things this year in the Na-
tional league.
Matters couldn't have been murti
.worse, what with the Cubs engaged
..in a duel with Pittsburgh for the
bottom rung last year and the
Pirates finally nosing; them out tor

Things didn't look much brighter
' when Manager
Phil Cavarretta
' brought his athletes into camp
"' several weeks ago. The personnel
looked about the same, and there
was no delirious degree of en-
thusiasm.
Few Lectures
In time. Cavarretta, a patient
soul, finally delivered a few lec-
tures. A brand new doubleplay
combination began
to
function.
Homer un hitter Ralph Kiner began
to pound the ball a lot earlier than
he generally does and some of the
oldsters realize they had to snap
to and play ball
The results are still U> be deter-
mined, but at least the Cubs have
shaken loose from proven medio-
crity and are gambling on new. if
untested, players.
Defense down the middle, which
was a major concern, may have
• been corrected. At least that is the
hope in elevating two comparative
l-ookies, Ernie Banks at shortstop
'' and Gene Baker at second, to first
team status, and inserting another
rookie, Bobby Talbot, into center
field.
'
All Impressive
Banks, 22, purchased from the
"Kansas City Monarchs: Baker, 28.

the Los
Angeles Angels, played 10 or fewer
"games with the Cubs last fall. This

Senators Look Good Since
Pitchers Rounded to Form
By BEN OLAN
Associated Press Sports Writer
It was only a week ago that Manager Bucky Harris of the Wash-
ington Senators said, "we won't look good until our pitchers round
into form."
That not-too-startling prediction
looked mighty good today as the
Senators
found
themselves the
proud possessors of a five-game
winning streak, due largely to the
improved efforts of their mound
corps.
The Senators have come a long
way since they opened their exhi-
bition schedule with nine straight
setbacks. And now that their pitch-
ers are clicking, they look more
and more like a club that will
give the other American League
teams a lot of trouble this season.
Friday,
righthanders F r a n k
Shea and Sonny Dixon limited the
Boston Red Sox to seven hits as
Washington pounded out a convinc-

SPRINGFIELD. 111. — Illinois'
1954
fish spearing season opens
April 1 in the central zone and
May 1 in the northern zone. The
season began March 15 in the
southern zone. It will continue
through September 1 in all zones.
Spearing is legal from sunrise to
sunset daily throughout the season.
The 1954 season dates are an
extension over last year's spearing
season when the season lasted only
15 days. Director Glen D. Palmer
of the state department of conser-
vation explained. The extension
was made possible through revi-
sion by th* 68th general assembly
of the Illinois fish cpde, he said.
No game fish may be taken by
spear. Species which may be taken
are carp, buffalo, suckers, gar and
dogfish.
Devices which may be legally
used are spear, pitchfork, gig and
bow and arrow. License required
for fish spearing is the regular

Must Games Face
NBA Semi-Finalists
By The Associated Press
The four teams participating in
the semifinals of the NBA playoffs
swing back into action today in
"must" games for the Boston Cel-
tics and Rochester Royals.
The Celts appear to have the
tougher assignment. They have to
face a red hot Syracuse team,
which has yet to lose a 1954 play-
off game. The Nationals have won
five straight since the regular sea-
son ended, one of them a 109-94
rout of Boston Thursday.
Rochester, v i c t i m of an 89-7*
trouncing by Minneapolis in the
first game of the best-of-three
semifinals, also must win today or
face elimination.
Both of today's games are after-
noon affairs. The Rochester-Min-
neapolis game will be nationally
televised (Dumont, 3 p.m., GST).

Swimmer Posts
New NCAA Mark
In Syracuse Pool
SYRACUSE, N. Y. (£>-Odds.on
Ohio State, despite a loss of Ford
Konno to Michigan's record-break-
ing Jack Wardrop. had a cozy lead
today in the NCAA swimming
championships.
And the Buckeyes were loaded
for bear in the closing event in
the Syracuse University pool with
three record holders and a classy
diving team on the roster.
Konno won the 1500-meter free-
style in the opening competition
Thursday, setting a new NCAA
mark. But Wardrop edged him
out in the 220 freestyle Friday
night with a clocking of 2:05 to
Konno's 2:05.3.
New Record
Wardrop's time set new intercoi
legiate and NCAA records and bet-
tered the listed world mark of
2:05.2, but Konno clacked that one
last month with 2:04.7.
Ohio State collected 13 points
Friday night in low board diving
won by its Fletcher Gilders with
441.10 points. Ohio State has 49
points to Michigan's 36. Defending
champion Yale has 19.
Yoshi Oyakawa, who kept his
NCAA 200-yard backstroke title by
edging Larry Heim of Stanford m
2:09.8, goes in the dorsal 100-yard
today. He holds the listed world
and NCAA records and has staked
claim to a new world time and
the American mark.
Final* Tonight
Dick Cleveland captured the 50-
yard
free-style
from defending
champion Don Hill of Michigan in
0:22.3 and today, Cleveland goes
in the 100-yard freestyle.
He holds the world, American
and Intercollegiate records in that
event.
Other events today included the
100-yard breastroke. 150-yard in
dividual medley and the 300-yard
medley relay. Time trials are
scheduled in the afternoon and
finals at night.
Big Question:
Was Gavilan
Using Evil Eye
CHICAGO W>— Boxing insiders
were wondering today if Kid Gavi-
lan tried to put the old evil eye
on Bobo Olson at an official cere-
money Friday in the Illinois Ath-
letic Commission office.
Gavilan, the welterweight champ
and Olson got a physical going
over and instructions on Illinois
boving rules. They also posed for
pictures together in fighting togs.
These were part of the formali-
ties leading to their 15-round match
in Chicago Stadium next Friday in
which Olson's middleweight title is
at stake.
Eyes Staring
All the time they were in the
office, the Kid kept his eyes star-
ing into Olson's. It seemed a take-
off on the old fisheye. Whatever it
was it apparently embarrassed Ol-
son, who shifted his gaze several
times, grinned, and once tapped
Gavilan playfully in the stomach.
Was this some sort of Cuban
hex the Kid was trying on Olson?
"Maybe," he grinned afterward.
"What you think?"
Several hours after the incident,
Gavilan
assured- reporters he
wasn't interested In working any
sort of "Cuban voodoo" on Olson.
Look Harder
"He gave me a dirty look," said
the Kid. "I give him a dirty look
back.
"My dirty look harder than his.
Just like these. He raised his
fists."
Anyway, the dirty looks had no
immediate effect on either fighter.
Both were pronounced in excellent
physical condition for the fight,

First Fight
InlLS. Debut
Gains Unanimous
10 Round Verdict
Over Al Andrews
NEW YORK </P>—Gustav (Bubi)
Scholz la no Marcel Cerdan but
he'll do.
The 23-year-old unbeaten Ger-
man
middleweight, latest of a
horde of foreign fighters to invade
our shores in the past year, made
his American debut Friday night
by winning a unanimous 10-round
decision over spunky Al Andrews
of Superior, Wis.
A southpaw socker, the former
Berlin cook floored the 23-year-
old ex-GI in the fifth round with a
left to the jaw and rocked Al m
the seventh and tenth rounds with
a rapid-fire bombardment. And-
rews jumped up at one in the
fifth but had to take the manda-
tory eight count. The officials'
votes for Scholz were 6-3-1, 6-3-1,
and 7-2-1. The AP had it 6-3-1.
Scholz was disappointed over his
showing.
"It was one of the worst fights
I ever made," he said as well
wishers mobbed him in his dress-
ing room in Madison Square Gar-
den.

East vs. West
In Basketball
Benefit Game
NEW YORK W> — It will be East
vs West tonight in the annual all-
star basketball game for the bene-
fit of the New York Herald Tribune
Fresh Air Fund at Madison Square
Garden.
Fiank Selvy of Furman, who
holds almost every collegiate rec-
ord in the book, will team with
6-9 Bob Pettit of Louisiana State
for the first time. Togo Palazzi of
Holy Cross, and Frank Ramsey
and Lou Tsioropoulos of Kentucky
also will be on the East starting
team.
For the Wp.st. the starters will
be Bobby Mattick, Oklahoma A
and M's 6-11 ace, Bob Matheny of
California, Arnie Short of Okla-
homa
City
and Indiana's Bob
Leonard and Dick Farley.
Howard Cann of New York Uni-
versity is coach of the East squad
and Ozzie Cowles of Minnesota di-
rects the West team.
The East holds a 4-3 edge in the
seven-year series.
Oklahoma A & M
Grapplers Lead
NORMAN, Okla. (,¥>— It appears
only a sudden tornado can keep the
Oklahoma Aggies from sweeping
to their 17th NCAA wrestling title
tonight.
The Aggies entered 10 men in
the 24th annual NCAA tournament,
which opened here Friday and six
moved into the semifinals sched-
uled for today. The finals are to-
night.
Penn State, which gained the
title last year to take the NCAA
grappling crown out of the mid-
lands for the first time, has little
chance to hold on to the bauble.
Only two members of the six-man
team survived the opening rounds.
Ten other schools also placed
two men in the semifinals—Pitts-
burgh, Michigan, Michigan State,
Illinois, Lehigh, Navy, Oklahoma,
Kansas State, Iowa and Colorado.

RECOGNIZE THE MAN in the high collar? Most of you probably
won't, unless you were paying attention to the schools back around
1899 and 1900.
The man Is William G. TurnbuU, teacher in Latin and alge-
bra, but more important to this column, he was the first high
school coach at the Dixon high school. He handled football
and track.
HE CAME TO DIXON IX 1899
from Monmouth and after one or
two years, he went on to the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania at Phila-
delphia to medical school.
He
later became a physician and took
up practice in Philadelphia.
Along with being a coach and
teacher.
Professor
TurnbuU
was a charter member of the
first bowline alleys established
in Dixon, the A. U. Thomas al-
leys erected in 1900 on First
street.
*
*
*
JIOJC.E
GEORGE C. DIXON
supplied us with the picture and
the information on Prof. Turnbull
and while looking through the old
files to see if we couldn't find ad-
ditional information, we learned
that the judge was the cause of
the suspension of football for one season.
In 1903, it was decided to disband football when Judge Dixon
was seriously Injured In a same with Rochelle. "That's some-
thing I'd like very much to forget," the judge said. He was para-
lyzed for many month* because of a broken back'.
*
*
*
THOSE YEARS, 1899-1902. were filled with many interesting thing*
concerning Dixon football. In 1900, Dixon College set a world record
which may still be standing as far as we know.
The college team whipped DeKalb, 153-0. And that's not
all. The game was railed in the second half before the score
got too high. Also, touchdowns were only good for five points
In stead of nit as today. Field goals were one point. Dlxoa
made 27 touchdowns and 17 field goals.
THE COLLEGE EVIDENTLY HAD A GREAT YEAR in 1900. They
went to Chicago to play the University of Chicago and had the honor
of scoring the first touchdown against the great team coached by the
famed Amos Alonzo Stagg. Dixon lost, 23-5, but Stagg complimented
the team as a great one.
*
¥
*
Now back to 1954:
AL MUSSELMAN AND LYLE SMITH, only senior members of the
Rochelle basketball squad this year, were honored at a basketball ban-
quet given for the Hubs recently. Musselman was awarded the Hall
free throw award and Smith was presented the Hacker trophy for
all-around excellence in athletics. Ron Hill was elected captain for the
1954-55 season.
*
*
*
*
COACH DON BARNHART reported that Dixon still needs a home
game Sept. 17 to complete the 1954 football schedule.
The
game
would replace the Amboy-Dixon game which has been dropped since
Amboy went into the Illowa conference.
*
V

THE MORRIS DAILY HERALD sports writers continue to Insist
that Ottawa Coach Gil Love will not be back with the Pirates next
season.
'
They discount the fart that Love has bought a home In Ot-
tawa by pointing out that a home ran be bonght and sold with-
out much trouble.
IT IS FURTHER CLAIMED that Love has received offers to move
up to the college ranks in recent weeks. The Bullpen Gossip column
goes on to point out that denials do not mean rejection as seen in the
case of Forest (Forddy) Anderson leaving Bradley and going to Michi-
gan State. Only three days before Anderson left, the column said, de-
nials were plastered all over Peoria papers.
As for UK. we'll just sit back and wait and see.
As the
man said, denials don't mean rejections.

THE FACULTY ATHLETIC COMMITTEE of Beloit college will
meet with faculty representatives of the Midwest collegiate athletia
conference May 21 at Ripon college to discuss Beloit's possible 'future
admission into the conference.
Termed an "exploratory session" by Beloit officials, the
meeting was authorized recently by conference officials follow-
ing a request submitted fey Beloit to the conference last Novem-
ber. By a league vote, Beloit was dropped from membership in
the spring of 1951.
IN THE EVENT BELOIT makes formal application for entry into
the loop, the decision would rest with a conference committee com-
posed of one faculty representative of each member school. A unani-
mous vote would be necessary to admit Beloit to membership.
Present members of the conference are Ripon and Law-
rence In Wisconsin. Knox and Monmouth in Illinois, Carleton
and St. Olaf in Minnesota and Coe, Grinell and Cornell In Iowa.
Ease of Yanks Winning 6th
Depends on Rest of League
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (B-Do you think the New York Yankee*
can make it six pennants in a row? Manager Casey Stengel was asked.
"If the league is improved, we'll
have a very hard time winning it
again." he replied. "M it hasn't
improved, we'll have a very hard
time not winning it."
Stengel conceded that he has a
lot of problems this year, "maybe
more than in any other year since
I've been manager."
"First, we have to make up
those 13 games we lost by sale of
Vic Raschi. Second, we've got to
build up a strong bench. Retire-
ment of Johnny Mice and the re-
call of Billy Martin to the army is
bound to hurt.
"My third problem is Mickey
Mantle. Re's been taking it easy
after his knee operation. How do
I know if he'll be ready to open
the season?"
Stengel tees the Cleveland In-
dians and Chicago White Sox as
hl« chief threat*. He likes the
Washington Senators to head the
dtv*sa, follow* fej Ds»
troit, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Stengel said his big five on the
mound this season will be Alii*
Reynolds. Harry Byrd, Ed Lopat,
Eddie Ford and Jim McDonald.
Adding to the strength, in addition
to Bob Kuzava and Tom Morgan,
is Johnny Sain who said he
going to retire but changed hia
mind.
With the exception of Jerry CM*
man at second, the infield will b*
the same: Joe Collins at first, PhU
Rizzuto at short and Oil Me*
Dbugald at third. Reserves Include
Andy Carey, Willie Miranda, Cddte
Robinson and Frank Lega, it-year*
old bonus baby:
Yogi Berra, the league's Mo. t
receiver, is backed op by Chart!*
Siivera.
Even with Mantle hobbled. Casey
insists he has the best

Army Lists No
Moors But He's
Drafted Anyway
^ William Ar-
BALTIMORE
thur Wellington Bey, a "Moorish
American," reluctantly submitted
to army induction here Friday de-
spite his listing as a Negro and
even though the Moorish flag won't
by flying next to the Stars and
Stripes.
The 21-year-old Wellington Bey
didn't have much choice.
He refused Induction last Mon-
day after a sergeant listed him as
a member of the negroid race. He
contended he was a Moorish Amer-
ican and would step forward only
when listed as such.
That threw the military for a bit
of a loss because the induction
form lists five races and "Moorish
American" is not one of them.
' Wellington Bey was arrested by
the FBI and taken before U. S.
Commissioner Ernest Volkart.
Wellington Bey informed the
commissioner he was reluctant to
serve in the army unless the
Moorish flag were flown next to
the American.
Commissioner Volkart suggested
Wellington Bey accept induction
despite the race classification and
wtihout his own flag and said if
the Defense department changed
its'- rules and regulations to satisfy
Moorish. Americans, Wellington
Bey could adjust accordingly.
GOP Chairman Hall Says
Sen. McCarthy Does Harm
OMAHA (ft—Chairman
Leonard
W. Hall of the Republican national
committee says Sen. McCarthy (R-
Wis) "has done more harm than
good" in his trade of verbal blows
with top army officials.
As a result, said Hall, McCar-
thy's "senate effectiveness-has di-
minished in the past few weeks."
Hall's statement in an interview
Friday night came as one of the
strongest criticisms of the Wiscon-
sin senator yet put out by a high
GOP official. Several weeks ago
Hall described McCarthy as an as-
set to the party.
McCarthy, chairman of the sen-
ate investigations subcommittee,
could not be reached for immedi-
ate comment.
"Dispute Hurts"
Asked about the McCarthy-army
exchanges, Hall said "the dispute
has hurt. Any dispute hurts."
His comment came just before
he talked about campaign strategy
at a banquet gathering?1 of the Mid-
west and Rocky Mountain Republi-
can State Chairmen's Assn.
"There is one person who al-
ways speaks for our party," Hall
said in his dinner speech, "and
that is Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Don't let anybody tell you that be-
cause of quarrels in Washington
that there is no unity and no lead-
ership."
The GOP national chairman told
an enthusiastic audience that the
big campaign issues this year
would be the economic health of
the nation and the "never ending''
battle with communism.
On the first count, Hall declared
"the
Eisenhower administration
program, now moving through con-
gress, is designed to keep us sound
economically by building more in-
dustry, more jobs and a healthy
agriculture."
Truly American
On the second, he said:
"We have at long last developed
a truly American foreign policy
which meets the overseas Commu-
nist threat head-on and lays' the
responsibility where it belongs—in
the laps of the Russians. Mean-
while at home we have both the

willingness and the know-how for
dealing with Communist inspired
subversions."
All the Republicans have to do
to win in 1954. Hall said, is "do
what we did in 1952—get out the
vote."
Radioactive
Dust Found
In Chicago
CHICAGO I.?)—Radioactive dust,
still completely harmless, drifted
down on the Midwest after dust
storms last week in the western
plains, a scientist reported Fri-
day.
Radioactivity three times normal
expectations was found in samples
collected on Chicago's South Side
by a team from the Armour Re-
search Foundation of the Illinois
Institute of Technology.
Edward G. Fochtman, leader of
the project, said the amount of
radioactivity in a two square foot
sample of dust at the period of
highest
concentration still was
only one ten-thousandth of that
given off from a wristwatch with
luminous hands.
Fochtman said scientists on the
project, sponsored by the Midwest-
ern Air Pollution Prevention Assn.,
"drew
no conclusion" On the
source of the radioactivity. He
said radioactive particles from the
United State's March 1 hydrogen
explosion in the Pacific could con-
taminate the dust. He added, how-
ever, that this contamination would
have been expected to reach the
Midwest between March 8 and 11.
Fochtman's dust project was not
started until March 15. He said
the high radioactivity appeared
for a few hours on March 19 and
then dropped off sharply in the
dust samples that settled later.

Of Billy Graham
LONDON — American Evange-
list Billy Graham
will
begin
preaching over a network of 20
British telephone lines next week
because Harringay Arena cannot
accommodate the crowds which
wish to hear him.
Graham is conducting his revival
meetings nightly at the arena, but
only 12,600 persons can sit in the
great hall, which usually is the site
of sporting events.
Many persons have been turned
away nightly from Harringay. To
enable them to hear him, telephon-
ic connections with many British
cities are being arranged so that
local clergymen can switch on
Graham's sermons from Harringay
for audiences in local halls.
At the end of his fourth weej^ of
his "Crusade in Greater London"
Graham has spoken to almost 400,-
000 persons.
If interest continues the attend-
ance figure at the end of the three
months campaign will exceed a
million.

CHICAGO—<^P)—Sixteen-year-old Arlene Goerner
was taking a driving lesson Friday. She told police she
swerved to avoid hitting a dog and smashed her car into
the back of a station wagon.
The station wagon plowed into some garbage cans
and the cans hurtled against a wooden stairway of an
apartment house. The stairway came tumbling down.
Arthur Mankin, 33, eating his breakfast in his
apartment on the second floor, came out the door to in-
vestigate. His wife saw him suddenly disappear from
view.
Walking to a window, she saw him lying on the
ground 20 feet below. He was taken to a hospital with
a dislocated shoulder and cuts.
It was Mankin's station wagon Miss Goerner had
smashed. Police cited her for negligent driving and
driving without a license.
