Th r .ir,la,B-l n.hm.,. I ho. ologican and parish priest at nearby St. Libory, said that from the evidence he has gathered, he believes the manifestations are caused by an "angelic spirit" as signed to guard 10-year-old Je rome from harm. And from the cryptic messages written on paper la Jerome's room, Dahmus said he believes "that the angel at one time in his long existence probably had as sumed a human form." Seen by Many Dahmus said the last' "spirit manifestation" at the Greten home took place last Sunday. Previous ly they had occurred 17 times, starting on May 1. All the manifestations were witnessed by Greten, his wife, and at least eight of thelf 10 children, ra.nglng in age from 10 to 26 years. Dahmus said he was present a number of times when they oc curred and neighbors in the lit tle cross-roads community were present at others. The office of Bishop Albert Zuroweste at Belleville, 111., who assigned Dahmus to -conduct an inquiry into the unusual occur rences, said it would await a complete report before issuing any statement, if at all.

The pretty blonde wife of an Ohio banker was reported as "missing under mysterious circumstances" here today. Police were requested to sejrch for Mrs. George Wood, (3, of Lima, O., who disappeared ofter she checked out of the Palmer House hotel where she had stayed for four days. The request for the search came from Mrs. Wood's husband and from Lima police. Authori ties here had no further informa tion regarding Wood, other than that he is a Lima banker. Detectives said Mrs. Wood "seemed to have dropped Off the earth" from the time she checked out of the hotel between noon and 1 p.m. yesterday. She apparently left the hotel to keep a reservation for a 3 p.m. train on the Pennsylvania rail road. But railroad officials said the reservation was not used. Wood, alarmed when his wife did nut arrive on the train at Lima, telephoned police here and asked them to start a search for his wife. Detectives advised him to contact Lima police. Shortly afterwards, a formal request for a search arrived from Lima au thorities. Wood said his wife had been "visiting" here but he gave no other details. Rimless Glasses Blamed forCancer Chicago, July 9 Uli Rimless glasses may be a cause of skin cancAr near the eyes, medical ex perts reported today. Rimless spectacles focus light on the face and skin and may allow certain heat or chemical rays to be conducted to the skin, they said. ' The findings were reported hy four doctors from the derma tology department of Jefferson Medical college, Philadelphia. The doctors said the findings were not conclusive. Twelve cases of skin conditions helleved caused in this way were described by the doctors in the American Medical association's archives of riormtitoloy and syphllology. iN'Ino of the 12 patients had .skin conditions diagnosed as can cer, they said, and another was suffering from keratoses, a pre malignant growth caused by radi ation.

A large "X" appeared on the paper, written with the cray on that had been left nearby. Dahmus said that from pre vious replies which the spirit had written In response to verbal questions, he Interpreted that to mean the question was acknowl edged but refused. Dahmus asked: "Did you ever have a human body?" , The answer on the paper was: "Xyes." Dahmus said he thinks the"X" represents refusal to answer at first and the "yes," written a brief moment later, Indicates that at one time the spirit was sent on a mission to earth in bodily form. Dahmus said all the questions were verbal ones, repealed by Jerome who placed the paper on the flood between his bed and the wall each time. A green cray on wa3 left on the floor and the answers were written with it. The priest said the boy would He quietly in the center of the double bed after placing the pa per, while the others in the room kept their eyes either on the boy or on the space between the bed and wall.

WARD 1474 Hill St. Phone 293 AH Animals Treated BOA RD Repeal of Gas Tax Refund Law Will Be Asked Salem, July 9 (IPi The next legislature may be asked to re peal 11Tb act allowing gasoline tax refunds for vehicles not used on public highways, the state depart ment indicated today. Mounting applications for re funds on gas taxes give evidence of fraudulent claims In many in stancesfarm or logging operat ors using taxfree gas in their pri vate cars that use the highways as well as their vehicles that do not, Assistance secretary of state William E.Healy said. To give an idea of the size of the gasoline tax refunds, Healy pointed out that over 83,000,000 was refunded in 1948 on a total tax paid amounting to $23,414,000. Many False Claims Healy said field auditors of the state department have uncovered many false claims. In 1948 a total of nearly $37,000 was saved through denial of such claims. But, said Healy: "Our auditing staff is small with the result that many claims cannot be investi gated." : - ! Auditors lound one larmer wno claimed gasoline tax refunds oh gas used in two passenger cars in addition to his farm machinery. Consequently, the entire claim of this person was denied. Healy said evidence was that alteration of dates on gasoline Invoinces has become a fairly common practice. Under law the claims for refunds must be made within a year after the gas is bought. Whenever such altera tions are suspected, a check is made with the gasoline company and the correct date is estab lished. Is "License Fee" Healy stressed that the gasoline lax is not levied for use of the highways as is commonly be lieved. The Oregon supreme court has held that the state gas tax is a license fee on companies selling gasoline within the slate. The assistant secretary expres sed belief that counties would re ceive more money for road wotfk if the gas tax refund law should be repealed. He added: "The farmers and loggers, rep resenting the largest percentage of recipients of the refunds, would also profit by repeal of the re fund low because lt would mean that many miles of county' roads could be repaired or constructed with uje of the money tnat is now paid out as refunds." - MILLER APPOINTED Salem, July 9 tr Attorney General George Neuner an. nounced today that he has ap pointed Fred A.
