FAILS TO SPOIL AVI AT0NC A 0 E T Man Who Won National Puzzle Contest Still Lead ing Simple Life Money Is Safe in Annuities IS SHOT WHILE PROWLING SAN DIEOO, Cal., Aug. 38. (UP) One year ago today, Navy Aviation Cadet William R. Stsggs was perhaps tne moat envied man In America. He was handed a 100,000 check, grand prim In a national puzzle solving content, which assured him fame and fortune at the age of 34. Today there is little evidence of Btaggs sudden wealth. There la no palatial mansion, no glistening llmouslno, or other examples of over night riches In the Stagg household. There la, however, a neat bank ac count for "security and old age." The Staggs, William R., his 33. year-old wife, and 17-day-old daugh ter Lu Elian, still rent their modest bungalow on B avenue, still drive the second-hand Ford they bought , with part of the winnings, and still live on a navy cadet'a antary, Life Unchanged, "The $100,000 has not changed our lives," Mrs. Stages said. "You ee the prize was split five ways, according to an agreement Bill made with four other cadets. Then, too, the government got some of It In taxes, which reduced It considerable. "It did do one thing," she added shyly. "It enabled Bill and ma to get married and raise a family." The Staggs" share of the prize la safe In annuities, where It will be used for Lu Elian's education and ner parents' security In later life. "We still get fan letters," Mrs. Btaggs said, "but fortunately It la nothing like It was. Thank goodness people have forgotten us. Oet-rlch'-qulck schemes and promoters from all over the world came our way. For e67,00O we could have our choice of oil wells, gold mines, diamond making formulas and systems guar antees, to break the bank at Monte Carlo.' Job for Year Btaggs still has another year of erviee In the navy and then he "will have to start looking for a Job." Early In September he expeots o be transferred to Penw-oln. pia., as a navy aviation Instructor. His wife hopes It will be "In ground school." When they do leave, the Btaggs will carefully remove from the wall a framed diploma signifying one William R. Btaggs graduated from the University of Illinois school of engineering class of 1034. uiose inspection will reveal the diploma was not laaued until Sep ember, 10S7. The reason: Engineer lng Student Staggs was so broke that not until he received the 1100,000 award could he afford to pay the u necessary to receive his diploma. That. Btaggs said, was the first and most Important purchase made with the prize money. HOOD RIVER, Aug. 38. (UP) District Attorney John Baker said today that Wllber "Lefty" Walters, shot and critically wounded by polios early today, will be charged with burglary. Two shots were fired Into Walters' body when he started to flee after being caught by Patrolmen Stanull and Osborn entering the bedroom of the 13-yearold daughter of Ernest Barclay. Walter Is 38. the son of a prom inent Hood River family. Several unsuccessful attempts to enter the room were reported by Chief of Police Olen R. Bloat, who detailed the two officers :o remain Inside the home each night. The Identity of the Intruder was not known until after the officers examined the prone man after the shooting. Walters, who had a half pint of ether In his pocket, was ea'.d by police to have admitted the earlier attempts to enter the room. The officers were waiting early this morning when a flashlight gleamed in tne girl's window. Walters en tered the bedroom and was chal lenged. He ran toward a door and was shot by Stansell.

Hoffmann These are the days when marketln; Is a pleasure. Fruit and vegetable stands fairly cry out to us In their beauty. Tiny round radishes, illver sklnned. onions, long green stalks of asparagus, the luscious red of toma toes set us to painting pictures on our tables. Berries, melons, liprlcota and cherries fairly dance themselves Into our market baskets. Perhaps It's their freshness more than all else, that provides the "lift" for tired drab dinner plates, takes the monotony from the customary salad. So. to preserve that fresh-as-tlie-dew appearance, for the sauces and dress ings which accompany them, we should look for freshness as well as fine flavor. Mayonnaise for Instance, the queen of dressings for vegetables hot and cold, for the fruit salad plate how little thought we give to Its freshness as we reach for a Jar on our grocers' shelves. "Garden-fresh" Is the per fect mayonnaise and "Oarden-fresh" you'll find Durkee's to be.

CONTROL OF FOOD BY GOVERNMENT IS LONDON (DP)n Tlrtuat na. tlonallzstlon of the food Industry of Oreat Britain and the creation of boarda to ensure low prices In the Interest of public health are advo cated In an unususl document which haa been drawn up by a body of eminent scientists and public ad ministrators who have been study ing the crave effects of malnutrition In the country. The memorandum. Issued by the Committee Against Malnutrition, points out thst the majority of peo ple of Oreat Britain at present can not afford to buy certain essential foodstuffs. I - wwmua, wiv vi-ienbisis IS J, should be established under the con- vw ui iHDoniiDiB cKDinn mini-. tor to control prices In such a way aa to lnaura sunnltea whleh M at present ensured by the operation or ine law of supply and demand. The boards also would market these supplies through publlo con cerns, thus ensuring low prices and good quality. ' It la argued that a steadily rising demand for foodstuffs would eacour sge the producers to be much more enterprising. Assistance by loans and subsidies, controlled supplies and prices for fertilizer and fodder materials would encourage producers to devote at tention mainly to dairy, egg, fruit and vegetable farming, and this would open the way for the Impor tation of wheat, sugsr and such like foodstuffs from countries where they are more economically produced. It also la advocated that the gov ernment"mske Itself responsible for free dinners fo; all school children. The memorandum concludes: "This Is a question of nstlonal Importance. We trust thst from now onward all who have the nstlonal welfare at heart will begin to dis cuss how the problem shall be solved. Clearly the solution Is not a simple one. But out of the conflict of ldess there should soon srise some theory of national progress In nutrition that will gain wide public acceptance." Among the famoua scientists con tributing to the memorandum were Dr. Julian Huxley, secretary of the Zoological society; w. E. Le Gros Clark, Oxford professor of anatomy; A. St. O. Huggett, professor of phys iology at London university; Sir F Oowland Hopkins, professor of bio-' chemistry at Cambridge university, and V. H. Mottram, dletette expert of London university.
