Found on Street
Berlin, Dec. 14 W) German
police headquarters reported
Tuesday night they had found
the missing three-year-old son
of the American deputy com
mander of Berlin after a hunt
which had mobilized most of the
American and German motor
ized police in the city.
The child wandered out of
his front yard at about 3 p.m.
A general call was sent out by
both German civilian police and
American military police put
ting scores of searchers on the
scene. It had been feared the
boy might have wandered into
the vast area of the Grunewald
forest near his home.
The German police said they
found him about a mile from
his home.
When found, the boy was
standing on a street corner look
ing around. He was lost, cold,
but not worried.

furore over his disappearance
and finding. They were appar

He had been in the care of his
nurse.
WITNESS ON LOW INCOMES:
One in Every 70 Students
'Destined' for Mental Hospital
Washington, Dec. (P) A federal security official told con
gress members Monday that perhaps three children in every
average classroom of 30 pupils "are destined to spend part of their
lives in a mental hospital."
"It is estimated that 3,000,000 of the 30,000,000 children now in
school suffer from serious emo-1
tional and behavior problems,"
said John L. Thurston, acting
federal security administrator.
He was the first witness be
fore a subcommittee of the joint
congressional economic com
mittee. It is investigating the
problems of low income families.
Thurston urged approval of
administration programs for
compulsory national health in
surance, federal aid to educa
tion, broadened social security
and grants-in-aid to states, and
expansion of public health serv
ices to ease the plight of low in
come families.
Chairman Sparkman (D.,
Ala.) said the subcommittee,
opening 10 days of hearings, is
seeking information "for the
good of the country," and "not
for the purpose of building poli
tical ammunition for either
party."
He and other subcommittee
members lashed out at reports
which were not identified spe
cifically that the hearings, had
a "political" implication.
"No member of the subcom
mittee has any political motive
In these hearings," Sparkman
said.
Senators Flanders (R., VO,
who proposed the investigation,
said he had "perfect confidence"
that there was "no trace of poli
tical purpose as far as the sub
committee is concerned."
Similar expressions came from
Reps. Hubert (D., Ohio) and
Rich (R., Pa.). .
Earlier Flanders said congress!
may learn from the hearings
that some thrifty farm families
are doing pretty well with cash
incomes as low as $2,000 or even
$1,000 a year."

To most folks who get a loan it's dollars and cents, it's the
where-with-all to do something with. To me it's something
different yes it's money all right . . . it's my only mer
chandise . . . but wrapped up in every loan is a lot of sat
isfaction. Doctor bills paid . . . cash for the new baby . . .
the old car repaired . . . that dream house a reality ... a
business trip it's all done with cash my merchandise, and
a sincere desire to be of service.
So, if a loan is to your advantage take my money, use it
where it will do the most good, and If you haven't the time
to come in and chat about it, pick up the phone and call me.
I'm known as the "Yes Man" because 1 like to say " Yes" to
loan requests in fact I say "Yes" to 4 out of 5 and I'd like
to say "Yes" to you and I'll try and arrange a loan the
same day.
The name is C. R. Allen, Mgr., the Phone No. Is 22464, and
I'm at Personal Finance Company, 518 State St.

Renoud was nominated for a
place on the ticket at a nominat
ing meeting last week, but fail
ed to meet council requirements
that he either be present or say
in writing that he would accept.
So, ruled off the ballot, he be
came a write-in candidate.
