grade are required to present a
birth certificate or other evi
dence of age. They are eligible
for first grade enrollment if
they will have reached their
sixth birthday before Nov. 15

sion for class work the follow
ing Monday. Buses will pick up

ing the railroad, south on this
road to pick up children of the
Pleasant Point area and then
north to Pringle, to Leslie and

Bank Account
(Continued from Page 1
Maragon previously had
sworn at a hearing behind
closed doors that his income
over the same period totalled
only around $30,000.
Senator Mundt (R-SD) called
it "a clear cut case of perjury."
But Maragon asserted his con
stitutional right at yesterday's
session and refused to discuss
the matter. He did so on the
ground it might tend to incri
minate him.
Up to Truman to Ask
Hoey said that in addition to
the Maragon evidence, testimo
ny regarding any government
officials whose names have
cropped up at the inquiry will
be turned over to the depart
ments concerned. .
A newsman asked whether
that meant the testimony deal
ing with Vaughan would be
laid before Mr. Truman. Hoey
said the committee won't take
the initiative in that case.
'We won't send it unless the
president should ask for it," he
replied. "That's a different mat
ter. It is the president's prero
gative to ask for it if he wants
it." .
As for Vaughan's bank ac
counts, Hoey was asked in a ra
dio interview last night whether
the committee was looking into
those as it did Maragon's.
We have in a measure," he
said, without explaining just
how far the investigation has
gone. He said it depends in part
on what may seem necessary af
ter Vaughan testifies Tuesday.

Tragedy Victims Above,
Mrs. Joyce Hildreth, slain at
Independence Friday by her
husband, Cpl. J. D. Hildreth,
who then committed suicide.
Below, a snapshot picture of
Mr. and Mrs. Hildreth.
Shooting
(Continued from Pap,e li
The Stone boy then went out
doors and heard Mrs. Hildreth
tell her husband, "Stop slapping
me." Stone said he went to the
woodshed but Hildreth pointed
the gun at him and he left,
Brother Calls Parents
The youth rode his bicycle to
the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Luther Stone, 651
7th street, and told his father,
who told the boy to call the po
lice. He said he heard a shot as
he was leaving.
Chief Howard went immedi-
tie Joyce sitting on the body of
her mother. She apparently
was playing and was not crying,
It is not known if she witnessed
the shooting of her parents,
Both bodies were in the shed
about six feet apart. Mrs. Hil
dreth had been shot in the side
of the face, evidently at point-
blank range, and he just back
of an ear. The gun was beside
his body with a finger on the
trigger. Two empty shells were
found while two loaded ones
were in his pocket. He was wear
ing his uniform.
Only luck prevented loss of a
third life in the tragedy It be
came known today when a "mur
der and suicide" note was found
in the billfold of the dead man,
He also told how he obtained the
shotgun in Salem.
It was impossible to deter-
mine from the note whether or
not it was written prior to or af
ter the shooting but it did deter
mine that the act was planned
in advance. The name of the
other man" was given in the
note but it is almost illegible and
the spelling guesswork, accord
ing to Coroner Bollman.
The note in full reads:

Youth Admits
Petty Thievery
The 16-year-old Salem boy
who was picked up by city po
lice early Friday morning while
attempting to break into a serv
ice station at Center and Cot
tage streets, and who at that time
admitted having stolen two
newspaper display stands, has
confessed to two more thefts, a
police report Indicated Saturday.
The boy said that he and an
unnamed companion broke into a
barbershop at 325 Bush street
Thursday night and stole two
razors.
He also admitted stealing a
screwdriver and hatchet from a
garage in the 300 block of North
Cottage street the same night.
Police have found one of the
stolen razors hidden under the
seat of the prowl car which
brought the youth to the station.
The boy evidently had the razor
on his person when he was ap
prehended, and attempted to
