She's sick ... we must keep an eye on her. ' F.M After a marriage of ten years, our 28-year-old daughter has deserted her husband and two young children and run away with a boy nearly ten years her junior. This fantastic situation explod ed on us a few weeks ago when he arrived with the boy in the dead of the night. She had been living several thousand miles away from us and we had no Inkling of what was going on. Imagine our shock when she and this boy arrived, looking like hoboes, no money between them. We wanted to take her in, but not the boy, but she said she would not come in without him. My wife prevailed on me to let them in against my better Judgment. Now they have been ensconded in our home for sev eral weeks and my wife and I are going out of our minds, try ing to figure out what to do. I say we must throw them both out. I believe my daughter can be legally prosecuted for taking the boy across state lines but he has no family and no body is doing anything about it My daughter'! husband calls every night and . asks when Louise is coming home from her "visit" to us. My daughter talks gibberish about how she hated her hus band and loves this boy. My wife says she'll commit suicide if I throw Louise out. Mn. F.M Our daughter is a clever, high-spirited girl, who was always at the head of her class in school and was a model of good behaviour. I don't know what has happened to her, but I am afraid to let her go off a ,..4 r...,- .- "COPYCAT" Herzog in Mrs. Rose Levande's Brooklyn, N.

This thing will wear off and my daughter will get over this hysteria. Her husband thinks she is just with us on a visit and . doesn't realize about the boy. Louise is sick and we must keep an eye on her. Th Council: These frightened parents are presenting them selves with the wrong alterna tives. Of course, they cannot throw this seriously disturbed young woman out of the house and send her to roam at large with a bewildered teen-ager. On the other hand, they cannot con tinue to support this immoral and illegal liaison in the hope that it will "wear off." Steps must be taken to help the girl. This young woman is doubt less running , away from some overwhelming conflicts or prob lems. She clings to the boy be cause she believes he drives a wedge between herself and the apparent cause of her conflicts her husband. The parents can not talk to her about returning to her husband and children just yet. They must let her rest before she attempts to face her problems, and assure her she has found a refuge and haven in her parents' home. At the same time, the parents must get the boy to leave. He must have foster ' parents or some guardian. They must be acquainted with the facts and told to take the boy away. Eventually, .the young woman will have to face her problems and she will probably find it easier to be truthful and objec tive with a clergyman or physi cian. Psychiatric treatment is probably in order. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) 15-Year-Old Kills Foster Parents in Illinois Friday Watseka, 111. OJ.PJ A 15-year old boy coldly shot his foster parents to death Friday night because they "hated him." The youth, Lester Deffenbach, first blasted Stanley Jensen, 34, with three rounds from a 12- guage shotgun. Then he pursued Jensen's wife, Margery, 31, until he killed her with a single shot from a .22 calibre rifle. Diifenbach, who gave up quietly after the shootings, told sheriff's deputies he had . been planning ."for months" to kill the farm couple. He said he lacked the nerve to carry out his plan until Friday night. Authorities said the boy was an inmate of the St. Charles, 111., School for Boys, a state in stitution for delinquents, until the Jensens took him in their home in July, 1954. Arms Sell, Deffenbaugh. said he armed himself with Jensen's three guns during the afternoon while they were out. When Jensen stepped into the kitchen, the boy was waiting with a shotgun, a pistol and a rifle: The youth told police he killed Jensen instantly with the shot gun, threw the weapon into a cistern, and then waited for Jensen's wife. Diffenbaugh emptied the nine shot pistal at Mrs. Jensen when she came in the front door with her two daughters, Sandra, 9, and Sharon, 5, but missed all shots. Mrs. Jensen fled screaming from the house with her daugh ters. The youth followed close behind with the rifle, and shouted: "There's no use in running. Your husband is dead." Mrs. Jensen ran about 300 yards before collapsing from exhaustion. Diffenbaugh said she begged for her life when he caught u pwith her, but he ignored her pleas and killed her with a shot in the chest. PORTABLE SAFE FAILS New York (U.R) Francisco Ragno, a dress factory owner, thought he had the perfect hid ing place for the $1,700 payroll he had to carry from the bank to his factory.

Bureau of Mines Urges Violation Clamp Down Washington (U.R) The Bureau of Mines has warned coal mine operators to expect major disasters - unless they clamp down on safety viola tions.

( Construction of Two Atomic Subs To Start Tuesday Washington U.R) Cen struction of two more atomic submarines one of the Navy's largest, the other its fastest will start next Tuesday at Gro ton, Conn. Keels of the new undersea craft will be laid with little fan fare at the yards of Electric Boat Division of General Dy namic corps.' The two craft bring to nine the total of atomic-powered subs built or being built. Another six are scheduled for construction during the firscal year starting July 1. The big new submarine will be a radar picket boat, designed t-i screen naval task forces against air, sea or undersea at tack. It will weigh 6,000 tons, compared with the 3,000-ton Nautilus the world's first at omic sub. Modern Radar Gear A great weight of modern ra dar and other detection gear for detecting attacks coming from any direction will be crammed into the hull of the sub, now known only as subarmine No. 586. The boat will be driven by two atomic reactors. The second sub, designed for attack, will be more astonishing in many ways than any of the earlier atomic-powered vessels. Named the Skipjack it will fea ture a tear-drop shaped "Alba core" hull which takes its name from the experimental, conventionally-powered sub Albacore. The combination of high-speed hull and single atomic reactor ar expected to give the, Skipjack much more speed than the Nau tilus, which itself zips along un der water at more than 20 knots. .
