If 125 donors are successful it
will so a long way toward mak
ing up the deficit when only 17
pints were obtained when the
unit was here in AuKust.
The quota for blood assigned
to Polk county for this yrar was
51)0 pints, hut so fit r only 215
pints have been taken, and with

of blood when needed.
It is stifRested that Mrs. Pow

sibility of the unit not coming
without the assurance of a sub
stantial number of donors.

U. S. to Send No
Antarctic Ships
Washington, Nov. 19 P) The
United States lined up with Ar
gentina, Britain and Chile today
in declaring its intention not to
send any warships to the Ant
arctic during the 1940-50 ex
ploration season.
In fact, the state department
announcement said that the Un
ited States does not intend to
send any vessels at all to the
Antarctic.
Early in the fall Russia sent
a three-ship "fishing expidi-
tion into Antarctic waters and
Moscow reports at the time said
there were some scientists
aboard.
There has been some talk
here earlier this year of a new
American expidition to Antarc
tica under the leadership of Ad
miral Richard E. Byrd but this
never materialized.
Today's announcement by the
state department said the U. S.
government is pleased to learn
that Argentina, Britain and Chile
nave agreed "llicy foresee no
need to send warships south of
latitude 60 degrees during the
1949-1950 Antarctic season, ap
art, of course, from movements
such as have been customary for
a number of years."
There have been fears from
time to time that trouble might
break out nmong war vessels of
those three countries over con
flicting Antarctic claims the
United States was not a partv to
their agreement and so took its
own position independently.

B-36 Still Best
Says Symington
Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. 19 VP)
Air Secretary W. Stuart Sym
ington today called the B-36
"still the best bomber we have."
He remarked this when he land
ed at noon from a 30 minute
flight in one over Cresswell air
base here.
Senator Russell (D-Ga.) of the
senate armed services commit
tee accompanied Symington. He
described the B-36 as a "won
derful ship."
"Whether we increase the
number of groups in the air
force or not, we should keep
and improve the B-36s with
times as perilous in the world
as they are," Russell said.
Sen. Johnson (D-Texas) went
Russell and Symington on the
flight the first time that mem
bers of congress have been aloft

ber of groups in theair force
and we need a lot more B-36s,"
Johnson said.
Bishop Manning
New York, Dies
New York, Nov. 19 (P) Bish
op William T. Manning, one of
the leading figures of the Protes
tant Episcopal church in the
United States, died yesterday at
the age of 83.
He was Episcopal bishop of
New York for 26 years, retiring
less than two years ago.
He was a strict churchman
throughout his life, and an un
compromising enemy of divorce.
He once preached a sermon cri
ticising King Edward VIII for
abdicating the British throne to
marry a divorcee, and barred El
liott Roosevelt, twie-divorced,
as vestryman of St. James
church at Hyde Park, N.Y.
As bishop, he was the driving
force behind continued construc
tion here of the huge cathedral
of St. John the Divine, world's
largest cathedral in Gothic style.
His body will lie in state in
the cathedral from 6 p.m. (EST)
tomorrow until Tuesday noon,
when the burial office and a re
quiem will be offered. Burial
will take place at a later time in
the cathedral itself.

Stroble in Jail
Shunned by All
Los Angeles, Nov. 19 (P) A
man who believes he doesn't de
serve to live, sits silent and
shunned today in a jail cell,
waiting to pay in kind for the
death of a six-year-old girl he
loved, fondled .and then killed
It may be months before he is
relieved of his enforced com
panionship with fellow prison
ers who admittedly despise him.
Aging Fred Stroble, 66-year-
old grandfather, has no choice
but to languish while the ma
chinery of the law measures out
his punishment.
Monday Stroble will appear
for a preliminary hearing on the
charge of murdering s i x-year-
old Linda . Joyce Glucof t, play
mate of his granddaughter.
Some time next month, if all
goes well, his trial will begin.
He was arraigned yesterday.
Stroble plans no defense he
has not even retained an attor
ney but trials take time. If he
is found guilty of murder in the
first degree and ordered to pay
the death penalty, which the
state says it will ask, Stroble
still must wait. He cannot go to
the gas chamber until the su
preme court has reviewed and
upheld his conviction.
By his own estimate, little
Linda suffered only eight or 10
minutes while she was being
strangled, bludgeoned and
stabbed.

Action Upon Meters
Lebanon Parking meters
were proposed for Park avenue
between Grant and Vine streets
by Councilman Kenneth Fuller
at this week's council meeting.
His committee was authorized to
act on the matter.
The street committee vas au
thorized to abolish parking near

Elimination of one or two car
spaces it was believed, would
provide drivers on intersection
streets a better view of oncom
ing cars.
The council discussed the es
tablishment of a sewer use fee in
the city, each residential unit
connected with the city sewage
line to be assessed a monthly fee
probably ranging from one to
two dollars each month, depend-1

School Clerks
Bonds Too Low
In several instances through
out the county bonds for school
district clerks do not meet sta
tutory requirements, being less
than the amounts of money car
ried by the districts, according
to a comment in the audit of the
district boundary board by
Bowers, Davis tc Hoffman, coun
ty auditors just filed with the
county court.
The audit covers all second
and third class districts as well
as the union high school dis
trict. The report points out further
that several districts have defi
cits greater than taxes receiva
ble caused by either failing to
include the beginning deficit in
their budgets for the year or
overexpanding of budget appro
priations and the report suggests
more care should be exercised
in both respects.
Several districts, also says
the report, have set up special
bank accounts and care should
be exercised in securing proper
authorization for such proced
ure. Also, the report says, several
errors have been noted in hand
ling of withholding tax, retire
ment money and the remittanc
es thereof. This is a trust which
should be very carefully hand
led, the report indicates.
Cash in banks has been fully
reconciled for all the districts
An increase in liability of bonds
and negotiable interest bearing
warrants is noted being from
$671,287.05 with total debt
outstanding of $918,327.05. The
report covers the period up to
June 30 of this year.

Reno Gambler
Put On Spot
Reno, Nev., Nov. 19 VP) Lin
coln Fitzgerald, prominent Ne
vada and Michigan gambling fig
ure, was critically injured by
shotgun blasts in an ambush
shooting here at midnight.
Although the 57-year-old ca
sino operator was reputed to
have carried large sums of
money, Detective Sgt. Michael
Salonisan declared: "It couldn't
have been robbery."
"It must have been revenge,"
the police officer added.
Fitzgerald, co-operator of the
big downtown gambling house,
the Nevada club, was shot down
as he started to leave his home
for work at about 11:43 p.m.
Both shots were fired into
his back at close range.
Fitzgerald, a former night
club operator in Macomb coun
ty, Mich., was found by his wife
shortly after the blast of the
shotgun awoke many residents
in his exclusive southwest Reno
neighborhood.
His wife, Meta, about 38,
said she ran out of the house to
the garage and found Fitzgerald
slumped on the floor.
He apparently had just open
ed the garage's overhead doors.
The light in the building was
on, outlining his body to the
dark alley.
"He was a beautiful target,"
said Mrs. Fitzgerald.
Close associates said Fitzgerald
now has no business or other
connections in Michigan or other
parts of the east.
