F.M. We must throw out our
daughter and her young lover.
Mrs. F.M. 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

alone with this crazy boy. She
does nothing but cry and cling
to him and he comforts her.
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.

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.

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.
It said Friday . there have
been 20 ignitions of explosive
gas in the nation's mines in re
cent months and that "Any ig
nition of gas in a coal mine
might trigger a major disaster."
Jame Westfield, assistant di
rector for health and safety,

in many mines and that only
permissible electrical equip

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. .
Seventy per cent of all goods
sold at retail each year are made
up of items coming from the
