I9J7 College Student Throws Acid in Face of Girl Who Refused Date Fort Wayne, Ind. .'U.B A college student was held under SIO.OOO bond today on charges of searing a girl s lace with acid so "she would have scars and marks to remember me."

He is a student at Indiana Tech. Sprouse said he got the idea "from the case where Victor Riescl lost his eyes the same way." Victim in Fair Condition The student was referring to the acid attack in New York last April on Riesel, syndicated labor columnist who had been invited to testify on labor rack eteering before a congressional committee. Abraham Telvi, the acid thrower, later was slain by gangsters for demanding more money for the attack that bund ed the columnist. Physicians at St. John's hos pital said the victim. Carol A Clark, 19, Reading, Mich., was in fair condition with severe burns about the face, arms and legs. However, they said her glasses kept her from being blinded. The attack occurred Tuesday in a downtown cafeteria where they both worked. Three other persons were splashed by the acid and suffered lesser burns. They were Constance Y.

Sulpharic Acid Usad Carol was splashed with a pint tumbler full of sulphuric acid as she stepped through a kitchen door in the cafeteria. Sprouse. an aeronautical stu dent, said Carol turned him down for a date last Septem ber and he had brooded about it for months. "Since then I said nothing to her whatsoever and no one would ever suspect there was anything between us," Sprouse said. "Intentions of getting back at her some way were brewing In side me" all the time, he con fessed. Sprouse said he obtained the acid from a druggist with the excuse he wanted it for a chemical experiment. He said he poured a pint of the acid into a water tumbler about 20 minutes before he threw it. Scientist Theorizes On Adolescent Pimples Los Angeles (U.R) A Univer sity of California scientist has his own theory as to what causes those unsightly pimples on adolescents. The scientist Dr. Victor D. Newcomer, assistant professor of dermatology in the UC medi cal school here, suggests the ba sic cause of acne the name for the pimples of adolescence is a complex arising from in creased hormonal activity which comes with puberty. This, in turn, results in a flurry of activity in the skin's glands, Newcomer believes. State Payroll Checks Stolen at The Dalles The Dalles U.R State po lice said today they are investi gating the theft of five state payroll checks from the Eastern Oregon Tuberculosis hospital here. Officers said the checks, meant for nurses at the hospital, were taken from slots where mail was normally picked up. Hospital officials said the checks totaled SI, 149. Library Problems Are Discussed by Board, Students from Area Student representatives from three schools and members of the Medford Library board yes terday discussed mutual prob lems involving the library. During the 1 '2-hour session. student complaints about some of the library's rules and poli cies were voiced frankly. At the same time, members of the board pointed out reasons for the restrictions, and reasons why some of the students' requests cannot be granted at present. One of the students' com plaints involved the require ment that notebooks and bind ers be left near the door. The rule, which is almost universal among libraries used by stu dents, has ' been found to be necessary, board members said, because a small minority of stu dents have used notebooks to conceal stolen books. Amicable Discussion During the amicable discus sion, the student leaders stated the rules and regulations of the library, particularly those per taining to students, have not been adequately publicized, and the board agreed to see what could be done to make them more readily available. - Vandalism at the library, which has mounted into several hundred dollars over the past several months, was given as the basis for many of the regu lations, the student leaders were told. Complaints of discourtesy to young library patrons also were discussed. Several instances were cited by the students, and they were informed that the li brary staff is under continuing instructions to treat all library patrons with courtesy. Some instances coitld have been moti vated by the behavior of the young library users themselves, it was pointed out. Other Limitation! The discussion also covered staff and budgetary limitations at the library. Library patron age has gone up an average of almost 40 per cent in the past two years, and staff increases have not kept pace, due to budget limitations. As a result, one person frequently must tend the desk, answer reference ques tions, answer the telephone, and attempt to maintain order and relative quiet in the library's two reading rooms. The students, two each from Medford High and St. Mary's High schools, and one from Southern Oregon college, agreed to do what they could to explain these limitations to their fellow students who use the library for study purposes. They indicated that some of the complaints made about the library by students stem from feeling that younger people are discriminated against,a and not allowed full patronage rights in the library. Students Named The students were Jerl Calla han and Marcia Beeler from St Mary's, Sally Greaser and Mike Trauss from Medford High, and Leon McDougall from Southern Oregon college. Board members attending were Mrs. Leland Mentzer, EHwood Hedberg, El liott Becken and Eric Allen Jr. Mrs. Justin Smith of the Med ford High school faculty, attend ed as an observer. Following the meeting with the students, the board went over preliminary budget esti mates for the library for the coming fiscal year, and tenta tively agreed on a budget of some $67,000, about $10,000 more than the amount for the current year. It will be further studied before being presented to the city and county, both of which contribute to support of the library. The proposed in creases would provide for added staff and more book purchases. BULLET-PROOF Auburn, Me. (U.R) Asked why he wouldn't shoot a huge bull moose rampaging in a sub urban neighborhood one night, police Lt. Leslie F. Stewart said, "My .38 wouldn't have made a dent in him." Now ! Prove for yourself Plymouth is fully 3 o ' ' ' IBLJl Balanced Budget May Lead To Peril, Truman Declares, Miami Beach (U.R) Former President Truman said Tuesday night that Republican efforts to balance the budget may be lead ing the United States into "dead ly peril" by slashing national defenses. ' Mr. Truman, addressing about 800 persons at a United Jewish Appeal fund - raising dinner, called for a strong defense by this country and the free world as one of the fundamental steps in maintains peace and solving the Arab-Israel crisis in the Mid dle East. Varns of Budgat-Cutlari But he said, "Beware of politi cal budget-cutters. Beware of people who belittle the dangers to the security of the free world and use the smiles of the Rus sians to justify slashing our de fenses. They may be leading us into deadly peril." "It is a lot better to have a strong national defense than a balanced budget," the former chief executive said. "If it wasn't for a strong defense, we wouldn't have a budget of any kind." Sacura Nation "It is a lot better to have a secure nation than it is to have a good campaign argument," said Mr. Truman, whoc ame here from the Florida Keys where he is vacationing with Mrs. Tru man. He was introduced by Democratic National Committee man Jake M. Arvey of Chicago. "We should keep our defenses up until we have more from the Russians than smiles and kind words and promises of friend ship," he said. "The Russians only know the language of force."
