GRANTS PASS (UPI) Mrs, Frances McCurdy. 49, Grants Pass, was arraigned in Circuit Court Tuesday on first degree murder charges in the butcher knife slaying of , her son and daughter 11 years ago. I he woman recently was re leased from the state hospital at Sulem, and two indict ments against her were returned by the Josephine county grand jury. The McCurdy children, Pamela, 11, and Paul, 9, were killed with a butcher knife in a Grants Pass motel. The mother was arrested later in' Portland, charged with murder in the death of the boy and subsequently committed to the state hospital.

District Attorney Max McMU- lin filed for dismissal of the origi nal indictment against Mrs. Mc Curdy, returned in . 1948, and Judge Kelly postponed a ruling until June IS so arguments could be heard. Observer. La firr-1- Thurs.. June 4, 1959 Page 10 AFTER A SNAPPY WINTER Puts Old Vermont Ruminator The Market In Perspective By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Staff Writr NEW YORK (UPI) In these days of market warnings of dire things that might be ahead, the old Vermont ruminator firmly says "I don't think the rise is over." Humphrey B. Neill, after a snappy winter spent in luminal ing, emerges into the crisp, sunny atmosphere of Vermont to put the stock market picture into perspec tive. ' . . "Trends do not rush up and flop down," he says. "Tliey take time at the tops to unwind, and time at the bottoms to wind up." He points out that in both busi ness and market momentum car ries on beyond the point of heav iest demands. Demands from con sumers and demands from share- buyers may reach an exhaustion level but the indexes will still rise or remain on their stilts, he says. Spending and speculation are both contagious, says Neill, and he adds that each stimulates the other and each depresses the 'Excessive Costs' Found By Congressional Auditors WASHINGTON (UPI) Comp troller General Joseph Campbell told Congress that his auditors have unearthed $30,800,000 in excessive costs" used . in fixing prices of Air Force planes. Campbell, financial "watchdog" for Congress, said that most cases of "unreasonably high" prices on contracts and subcontracts stemmed from faulty procedures by the Air Force and its con tractors. He said the Air Force has acted to improve these procedures but he called for more action to "fur ther strengthen" controls over pricing of contracts, as well as subcontracts. Campbell's report summarized the findings of 14 studies by his auditors of contracts and subcon- Bess Truman Released n Excellent Health KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) Mrs. Harry S. Truman has been released from Research Hospital, where she underwent surgery for benign tumor May 18., She rode to her home in nearby Independence in an automobile, ac companied by the former Presh-dent. A. hospital spokesman said Mrs. Truman's condition was "excellent." tracts tor planes, which have been submitted to Congress during the past 12 months. It was prepared by his staff for presentation to a House armed servicos subcommit tee. He said that some of the 14 cases showed that estimated costs used in fixing prices were "ex cessive" by about 17 million dot' lars, which, unless adjusted, would boost government costs by $6,340,' 000. ... . In other cases, Campbell said, prices were negotiated without enough consideration of cost in formation which was available. He said that in these cases the selling prices totaled $58,700,000, about $13,800,000 or about 30 per cent above costs. Campbell said all 14 reports dealt with "inadequate use of cost date" in negotiating contacts, by the Air Force, and in determining subcontracts by the prime contractors. . He, said the subcontract prices are important because the prices paid to the contractor by the Air f orce usually include them. , Contractors involved in the study included Boeing Airplane Co., Seattle; Kheem Monufactur ing Co., Downey, Calif.; Friden, Inc., San Leandro, Calif.; Menas co Manufacturing Co., Burbank Calif.; Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., Los Angeles; Goodyear Air craft Corp., Arizona Division, Litchfield Park, Ariz.

So here we have , forecasters doubting a rising trend.' But if the public is in a spending mood "they pay no attention to the pro dictions. Folks will go on spend ing their dollars until something more drastic occurs. Togerherneu "If at the same time, speeula tive lever is rising, It abets the spending sentiment ' a,id they spiral aloft together. That is what we hove been witnessing in the last sevens! months." He finds that contagion hasn't died out and hence he does not see how he can make a predic tion as. to the end either in time or extent of the current bull market. Trends in spending -and specu lation, he says, are supported by a bullish credit ana monetary situation. He notes the money sup ply continues to climb and there is a credit build-up that indicates a continuing boom, subject to in terruptions and "surprise attacks" such as shifts in policy by the money managers. This sort of flat statement is not Neill's usual method. He's a contrarion.. The art of contrary thinking, he points out, consists in training your mind to ruminate in directions opposite to general public opinions; but to weigh one's conclusions in the light of current events and current manifestations of human behavior. ' Just to keep his record straight, he tosses in a contrary oattein to follow in one's forward rumin ating. "Putting it bluntly," he says, "here is the antithesis I believe contrarians snouiu siuuy ana check: ,' . . . "Tho super boom of the sixties, so blatantly predicted (books written about it), is SUSPECT' Anr he has something to say also on gold. Gold.withdrawals. he feels, are causing greater un easiness among the amateurs than among the professionals. Lota Of Gold Not British . ' "The pros," he says,, "see the vast upheaval and disorder that would follow any change tho U.S. might institute in the price of gold, whereas the genoral onlook er thinks mainly of the local as pects and the speculative reper cussions." Loss of gold isn't bear ish, he holds. He sees monetary events mov ing in two directions simultaneous ly: a tightening of money, more costly to borrow, and attractive levels for investment here of for eign capital that should retard the outflow of gold if not reverse it. And one little item entitled con trary thinking can untangle twists in the news. "The theory of contrary opinion is timely in that it is an aid to comprehension," Neill observes. Frequently when something I read doesn't click, doesn't register as it should. I turn it around, or over; and it begins to make sense. You might almost say that some things are clearer from their op posite meanings. .
