Boy, 17, Kills
Self Over Girl
Venice, Calif. (U.R) A 17-year-old
high school boy killed
himself because his pretty sweet
heart refused him a goodnight
kiss, police said Monday.
Fred M. Plehn, who was sche
duled to graduate from Venice
high school with honors ' this
week, shot himself with a 22-cal-iber
rifle Saturday morning at
the entrance of a police station.
Police said the boy escorted
Anita Dunham, 17, to a senior
prom the night before.
The tearful girl told officers
she refused young Plehn a good
night kiss because she was afraid
he was "getting too serious."
Plehn drove to a store Satur
day morning with a friend and
purchased a box of .22 shells.
The friend, Charles Rosson, 18,
said Plehn told him "I'm going
to the police station to kill a
rat."
Rosson said when they arriv
ed at the station, Piehn walked
up the steps, placed the gun to
his head and fired it.
Puzzle of Tombstone
Under Medford House
Solved by Local Man
Cliff Hanson can rest eaiy.
There's no grave under his
house.
The grsve-or-no grave ques
tion came up last week when a
partly destroyed gravestone
was found under Hanson's
house at 538 West 10th street
during Installation of a new
foundation
Tha stone, an old one, bore
the name of Reese P. Kendall,
born in 1829. Saturday Lewis
Parker, 413 South Central,
avenue, reported that Kendall
was a distant relative of his
through marriage, and that he
is properly buried in the Ash
land cemetery.
He corroborated the theory
that a former resident of the
house was employed by a
stoneworking firm, and said
he also believes that the head
stone was damaged while be
ing prepared, and was used as
part of the old foundation
while a new headstone was
prepared for Kendall's Ash
land grave.

Curfew Came as Godsend
To Motion Picture Company
Nazareth, Israel (U.R) A
curfew imposed on Nazareth af
ter rioting between Moslems' and
Orthodox Christians came as a
godsend to cameramen and tech
nicians . filming the historical
movie. "Salome" on location
here.
For four hours, 35 extras in
Roman dress had the deserted
streets of the Galilean town to
themselves. Inhabitants were not
around to get in the way.
The Columbia Pictures film
group, led by the Hollywood
producer Walter Dietcrle, shot
18,000 feet of film in Acre, Ti
berias, along the banks of the
Jordan and in Nazareth during
their two weeks' stay, depicting
scenes in which Salome rides
from Cacsarca to take a cere
monial dip in the Jordan.
New Road Built
A half-kilometer of road was
constructed to film some of the
scenes. Modern telephone and
electric wires often made it im
possible to film some ancient
spots. Whenever scenes were
shot on main roads after tele
graph poles. had been concealed,
the modern' highway had to be
concealed with dirt.
Another snag was empty cans
and other signs of modern living
which would be out of place in
first century surroundings.

done on the banks of the Jordan
below Tiberias and in the near
by hills. Two hundred men and
women from Israel's Jordan Val
ley settlements took part as ex
tras, in addition to hundreds of
horsemen and camel riders re
cruited among Circassians, Ar
abs and Jews.
.Many extras changed into cos
tume and donned makeup in
taxi cabs parked by the roadside.
Camel in Scene
Horsemen in the garb of 19
centuries before swooped in the
direction of the Jordan while
groups of helmeted Roman cav
alry escorted a gaily-caparisoned
camel with a litter perched on
its swaying hump.
Inside the litter was Tamara
Rappaport, an 18-year-old Tel
Aviv school girl, filling in for
Rita Haywortii, who had stayed
behind in Hollywood. The Israeli
girl appeared to disapprove of
the cameras taking the scene
from a distance so as to hide the
difference between the stand-in
and Ihe star.
The shooting in Israel cost the
film company several hundreds
of thousands of Israel pounds,
paid out of Columbia's frozen
film assets in the country.
"Salome" will be completed
and ready for showing in the
cgrly fall.

Capturing of
Gave Hunters
Bombay (U.R) The jun
gles of India's remote Vindhya
Pradesh state in the north-central
part of the country, particu
larly the Rewa area, have be
come noted as the only region
in the world where white tigers
have been shot by Indian shi
karis (hunters).
Of greater interest today, how
ever, is the first of these speci
mens to be captured alive now
a cub of massive build, about
21-4 years old, weighing almost
500 pounds, which was captured
almost a year ago.
Spotted by Beaters
The captive cub was first spot
ted by the Maharaja of Rewa's
beaters while camping in the
Ramgarh forest late in May,
1951, on a hunt. The cub was
with a tigress and two other cubs
which were of normal colora
tion. The maharaja instructed
that all efforts should be made
to take the unorthodox animal
alive.
The tigress and the cubs, des
perately trying to escape from a
cordon thrown around the area,
look shelter in a cave. All en

Men who run small businesses have said such things as: "Some people seem to think we're being frozen out. I'm
doing all right myself, but what about others? How can small firms hold their own with a big company like you?"
You can see the answer for yourself when you get a clear picture of the way business firms depend on one
another. Even a big, integrated company couldn't possibly stand alone.

beasts were smoked and starved
for two days.
On the third day they emerg
ed, one by one, and were shot
except the odd specimen which
was captured, put in a cage and.
taken to the maharaja's palace.
Escapes Over Wall
In a final break for freedom,
the white cub scaled the walls
on its first night within the pal
ace grounds. An intensive
search was organized and the fu
gitive was seen several times by
hunters and villagers, apparent
ly trying to get water. The day
was extremely hot.
After several unsuccessful at
tempts to net the tiger, a villager
dazed it by hitting it on the head
with a club and it was taken
bark.
Now almost nine feet In

fresh meat in a day.

some speculation as to whether
they may be albinos.

Barkley Sees Demo
Conclave Free, Open
Washington (U.R) Vice
President Alben W. Barkley be
lieves the Democratic National
convention will be a "free and
open contest."
For the past 16 years, Bark
ley pointed out, the Democratic
presidential nomination has been
"a foregone conclusion" since
the party was renominating a
president in office.
"This year," he said in an in
terview, "the convention will be
a free and open contest among
the active candidates and those
who will be considered though
not actually seeking nomina
tion." Barkley put himself in the
latter category last month after
Kentucky Democrats endorsed
him as a "favorite son'.' candi
