father Admits Killing Son, 8, Polio-Crippled Rochelle. HI.. Nov. 1 U.BA father admitted today that he killed hii polio-crippled eight-year-old ion, because he believ ed the boy "would never be able to make much of himself." police aaid Ray Henry, 50, hot his son, Garrett, with a .22 caliber rifle In the basement of their home yesterday afternoon. Then he tried unsuccessfully to commit suicide. When the bul let missed his heart and lodged in his chest, he telephoned as sistant police chief Jack Knice ly and told him to hurry to the Henry home. "The boy was a cripple," Hen ry mumbled to Knicely. "He would never be able to make much of himself." State's Attorney Wayne Bctt ner placed formal charges of ynurder against Henry, who was 'reported recc -ering In a Ro chelle hospital. Bettner said Henry had brood ed over the condition of his son, whose left leg was shrivel ed'' by an attack of polio in 1946. Yesterday, apparently, tne thoughts of his son's future be came more than he could bear. Henry quit work early at the railroad-crossing tower where he was employed as a watchman. ' "He went to a hardware store, bought the rifle, took a taxicab to Garret's school and picked up the boy. They rode home in the cab. When they reached the house, the father gavi his son a book to read. As the boy sat In a chair in the basement, his interest cen tered on the book, Henry said he took deliberate aim at his son's heart and squeeied the trigger. The bullet struck the boy In the heart and killed him In stantly. Henry carried his son's body to a couch, then turned the gun on himself. Henry's wife, Viveene, who was working at her Job in a Ro chelle laundry when the shoot ings occurred, said she was un able to explain her husband's ac tion. She said her husband had dis cussed the boy's handicap with her on several occasions but did not seem particularly distraught, 'New Rolling Slock For SP&S Railroad Portland. Ore..

"He wants me to get lota of exercises," she insisted. "And fresh air. So I'm going to be the 15th Jane." Miss Huston says it shocks- people when they hear she's go ing to climb trees and ride ele phants, broken back be hanged. But actually, she added, it's the only kind of a anovie she could make right now.

The campaign being waged by Mary Jane had snowballed today into the talk of the 36th legislative district. It was an all-feminine effort that saw Gothenburg bridge clubs ad journ their meetings so members could Join Mary Jane in ringing doorbells and buttonholing vot ers. One by one each town in the district is being visited. Today the campaigners were working Cozad, a neighboring town of 2,896 persons. Friday a squad of 13 women has been recruited for a house-to-house canvass of Lexington, popuU' tion 5,061. The woman's touch was evi dent even in the campaign cards. Printed on the back were reci pes. It was one of those campaigns that makes up in fervor what it lacks In political know-how, "We're no politicians," said Mrs. Duis, mother of two chil dren, 3 and 1. "We'll try every thing we can and we aren't giv ing up until tne last vote is counted." There Is more incentive than meets the eye for Mrs. Duis. Army authorities say Master Sergeant Duis, who was trans ferred last Saturday from Fort Sheridan, 111., to Fort Mon mouth, N.J., will be able to ask for and get a release to serve during the legislative sessions if elected. It's his first political venture for Duis, real estate and insur ance man. His opponent is Max W. Junkin, 61, Smithfield. Neb., livestock farmer. The legislative district em braces three central Nebraska counties Gosper, Phelps and Dawson. ' "My back is broken way down near the end of my spine," she explained. "It happened four months ago in an automobile accident. "I was paralyzed for weeks. But the doctors couldn't put me in a cast because of the location of the break." , Now she can walk again. But she can't wear high heels yet. "Jane is the perfect answer," Miss Huston grinned. "I run through the jungle practically bare-footed. I wear a brief cos tume and that makes my doctor happy, too. Sunshine is a great healer, he said." If that'll do it, Miss Huston's bound to make the fastest recov ery in broken-back history. In those few inches of cloth she wears in "Tarzan's Peril," there isn't much of her that won't get healed. ' "A broken back wasn't all I got," she said. "It seems your nervous system is involved in an injury like that. My emotions got all mixed up for a while. 'I'm ok now, but the doctor says I should avoid any great emotional stress. And you know how simple those Tarzan scripts are. All action, practically. And Miss Huston comes in for most of the action. She swims in the jungle streams at RKO studios, scrambles up trees, wrestles with the villian, dodges wild beasts and makes love to Lex ' Tar- in" Barker. Those clinches are the only items her doctor didn't include in his prescription. Miss Huston understandably lerry about 'em, too. The bronzed jungle lord does- n t use those muscles of his Just to leap from branch to branch And Miss Huston can only hope he 11 take it easy In the clinches. I don't know what a tight squeeze would do, she grinned, Crack a few more vertebrae, probably." The jackal is called the "lion's provider". When on the trail of his prey, his hideous calls dis close his whereabouts to the lion, who follows In hi wake and drives him away from the carcass when the kill is made, leaving him only the fragments.

ALrttKD aauNirr, city ttecoraer million persons in Russia proper, once Stalin Is out oi tne picture. Magidoff, expelled from Rus sia in 194S tor writing material offensive to t h t Kremlin, pre sented the Russian picture as he views it during Tuesday night's session of the Salem Knife and Fork club. He and Mrs. Magi doff, traveling by private car, experienced difficulty in getting out of Coos Bay because of flood conditions. Magidoff envisions many more years of "no war, no peace" and urged continued strength and firmness on the part of this coun try to keen Russia under con trol. Russia, he said, will not commit itself to an all-out Strug (le because it recognizes the fact that the United States is superior in atom bomb and air strength and ia capable of out-producing the communist country in steel nd oil. . Russia, said the correspondent, will not seek an open breach with the democratic countries as long as it cannot determine the eventual winner. Right now, with the morale among the Rus sian people low and with dlscon tent (rowing because of their poor standard of living, the Kremlin cannot see victory. A persistent program oi "nate America" is being loistea upon the Russian people, Magidoff re ported. This takes the form of stage productions where the three principal characters are a "bloated capitalist, smoking a hiar clear, a canister and a young man" who, as a representative of the communist party, is ine hero. This propaganda, said the speaker, is evidence that the Voice OI America IS peneirau- Inar the iron curtain. Mrs. Magidoff, a vivacious woman and a teacher of Russian at the University of wmisviiie, K. contrasted life in her native land against her experiences in this country in a lively talk pre ceding her husband. The Magi doffs are United States citizens. The dinner was promptly and efficiently served U. N. to Sell Postage Stamps Lake Success, Nov. 1 (VP) The United Nations may soon be in the business of selling postage stamps. The general assembly's bud get committee gave unanimous approval yesterday to Secretary General Trygve Lie's plan to set up a postal administration and issue a special UN postage stamp at permanent headquarters of the United Nations. The committee had before it an estimate that $300,000 would be realized the first year from the sale of stamps to collectors. Through a draft agreement al ready prepared in consultation with the U.S. government, the United States post office depart ment would perform all the usual postal services on behalf of the UN postal administration. The general assembly has yet to act on the plan. Navy Searchers Find Seamonster Florence, Ore., Nov. 1 (P) While hunting seaborne explo sives on the Oregon coast the navy and coast guard have turn ed up a Pacific-bred monster. Lt. H. A. Ridenour of the na vy's mine disposal unit at Seat tie was chasing down reports that grenades and mortar shells of U.S. make had been tossed ashore here by the past week's storms. Helping him was Chief Boatswain F. E. Barnett of the Newport coast guard station. They found one gas-type gre nade yesterday. The lieutenant disposed of it. They were to go back today to hunt in the driftwood-littered beaches for possi ble others. But they plan to stay tfpwind from "the monster" the ocean dumped near Siltcoos river outlet. Barnett said lt w a nothing like anything ha recalls in ma rine life studies and coastal ex periences. He said its bulk was about 21 feet long and four feet in diameter. It had flippers and a tall, covered with bristle-like hairs, but no head was in evidence. Zoning Board Gives Approval The city planning and zonine commission, at a meeting Tues day afternoon, voted to recom mend to the council that the Al pha Chi Omega sorority be per mitted to build a chapter house on Chemeketa between 14th and 15th streets. The commission, in the ab sence of protests, acted favor ably on local option petitions whereby the Salem school board would purchase two school sites in south Salem, and St. Paul's Episcopal church would buy the old Lincoln school property from the school district for erection of a church and parish nouse. The school locations are at Saginaw and Lefelle and on Hansen avenue near Crestview drive. Interesting Questions by Readers Answered by Writer By J. HUGH FRUETT i The discussion of several recently-received questions will like ly be of interest to many others than the interrogators. 1. "When we are seeing the moon at Eugene, Ore., it surely cannot be seen at the same time at Seattle, Wash." Many times it cannot, but this is due usually to cloudy condi tions at Seattle. Then because through heavy clouds, and that most of the assemblage saw nothing unusual. I am sure that the huge sun, almost a million miles in diameter was not ro tating so rapidly thaV dwellers of our little world could detect it. Centrifugal forces would have totally disrupted it. Do not all of us recall times, especially at night, when a break in fast-moving storm clouds pre sented a decided impression that the moon or a bright star was wildly racing across the sky? There is an apparent relative motion between the clouds and the heavenly bodies, and for some reason we assign that mo tion to the wrong one. I am sure the recent incident was simply a case poorly reported by excited people of broken clouds flying across the sun. 13 Million Chick Hatch in 1951 Portland, Nov. 1 (If) Oregon's poultrymen plan to hatch 5 per cent more baby chicks next year man tnis. The total In prospect is 13,000,000. That was reported last night to the Oregon Baby Chick asso ciation by Noel Bennion of Ore gon State college after a survey of hatch intentions. On price, the probability is that hatcheries will ask a cent less for straight-run Leghorn chicks and for sexed Leghorn pullet chicks 17 cents each for the former and about 35 cents for the latter. Sexed Leghorn cockerels are expected to sell at about 3 cents which is unchanged from this year. The price on heavy breed chicks is expected to be up one cent, to 18 cents, on straight-run and probably unchanged at 31 cents each on sexed heavy breed pullet chicks. Cockerel chicks, which are mostly for boiler pro duction, probably will be up I cent at about 13, Bennion said. Hatching eggs probably will be priced about the same as this year when they went at around 20 cents a dozen premium above grade A large. of the difference of four degrees in latitude, there will often be a difference of several minutes in rising and setting times at the two places. But the questioner evidently had in mind the seeming near ness of our lunar neighbor something like an illuminated balloon floating in the air. Ac tually the moon's distance aver ages nearly 240,000 miles from an earth of slightly less than 8,000 miles diameter. This means that it can be seen at any certain time from practically half the earth's surface. 2. "With my small telescope I believe I recently discovered a fifth moon of Jupiter lined up with and of the same size as the four other moons." I have often made such tele scopic discoveries. Moon num ber five Is simply a distant star which the Jovian planet and his retinue happen to be passing. 3. "What is that big bright old thing in the southern sky every evening?" This is the big bright old plan et Jupiter, which has caused considerable anxiety at times during the past few months. Sev eral times during the summer have been "telephoned" out of bed to see if it was a flying saucer. 4. "I wonder if I've made i discovery. There is a bright ob ject showing in the northeast a: soon as it is getting dark which changes brilliance and color ra pidly." Many telephone about this every autumn. It is the bright star Capella. 5. "What do you think of the report from Necedah, Wis., that when the backwoods woman, Mrs. Van Hoff, was holdingher last public audience with the Virgin Mary before a large crowd, many saw the sun whirl ing?"- The account I read stated that the sun appeared momentarily EAT FRIED PORK NO INDIGESTION?
