'What's Going on Here?' Maureen and Jimmy Radigan,
2V4 years and four months old, respectively, double up for
their bath at their home in Elmhurst, N. Y., as the water
saving campaign hits high gear in New York state. Maureen
keeps her composure, but Jimmy, not used to having ladies
in the tub, wants to know, "What's going on here?" Their
water-conscious mom, Mrs. Dorothy Radigan, shows no sign
of letting up on scrubbing. (Acme Telephoto)

18-Year-Old Girl Found Hiding
For Past Two Years in Attic
Greenville, Tenn., Dec. 20 U. Authorities were mystified
today over what made an apparently normal 18-year-old girl
live for two years like a hermit in the dark, foul attic of her
own home.
Joyce Conduff was terrified when officers acting on an
anonymous telephone tip founds
her cowering behind the chim
ney under the eaves in the
filthy attic. They had to drag
her from the garret.
Below, in tne rest of the drab,
one-story frame house, lived
Joyce's father, stepmother, sis
ter, two half-brothers and a
half-sister. They said they
knew she was in the attic and
showed little concern.
Ernie Conduff, 56, the girl's
father and a milk company em
ploye, said that "Joyce stayed
in the attic because she didn't
like her stepmother."
But after questioning the girl
at police headquarters, county
officers said they thought there
might be more to it than that
"We're going to investigate
and watch this case closely,'
said Deputy Sheriff Fox Line-
burger. "We will see first how
things work out at the house.
"I think there is something
behind all of this that we don't
know about."
No charges were placed be
cause Joyce's existence appeared
to be by her own choice.
-
Police found Joyce Saturday
night. She had slept on a few
planks laid across the unfloored
attic. Decaying orange and
grapefruit littered the cubicle.
She had used a paper bag for
sanitation.
The girl was badly under
nourished and said she hadn't
eaten a hot meal in two years.
Her tousled, crudely-cropped
brunette hair was matted. She
wore blue dungarees and a
blouse "so tight it looked like
she had grown into them," po
lice said.
Joyce sobbed continuously at
police headquarters and stared
at the floor. The bright lights
hurt her eyes and appeared to
stun her.
Police took her home again
after they had questioned her,
and she spent Saturday night
sleeping on the floor,
Portland's City
Budget Faces Cut
Portland, Ore., Dec. 20 (U.R).
Finance Commissioner Ormandl
R. Bean today said he will ask
the city council to cut all de
partments 10 per cent to save
taxpayers an estimated $543,000
in the face of a budget deficit.
Bean said the cuts should be
made "across the board" if the
city is to end the fiscal year with
black ink.
He said predicted revenue
from license foes would be short
about $1,000,000 and if his pro
posed budget cut is delayed
until March, a 14 per cent re
duction would be necessary
then.
