San Francisco Police
Continue To Search
For Hit-Run Driver
San Francisco -U.P. Police
pressing a relentless search for
a brutal hit-run driver today
urged owners of 1952-53 Mer
curys to bring them to the near
est police station for "clear
ance." "The quicker we can scratch
off those not involved, the
sooner we can narrow the field
rfown to the one guilty driver,"
said Lt. Edward Moody, head of
the Accident Investigation
Bureau.
Notes of Clearance
"Owners who bring in their
cars for checking will be given
notes of clearance so they will
no longer be bothered."
Witnesses to the hit-run slay
ing of Lloyd V. Stephens, 68,
last Sunday night believed the
death car was an ivory Mercury
1952 or 1953 vintage. There are
2960 such cars in San Francisco.
Stephens was returning home
from a baseball game when the
car hit him, knocking him un
der the wheels. He got en
meshed in the undercarriage.
Instead of stopping, the driver
tromped on the accelerator and
began swerving in a frantic at
tempt to dislodge Stephens.
When this failed, he began
speeding and then jamming on
the brakes.
He did this for three blocks.
At last, Stephens fell to the
street, dead. Every bone in his
body was broken, and his skull
fractured.
There was a flurry of excite
ment in San Francisco and Oak
land last night when police in
each city checked out light col
ored cars that could have been
the death car. Both had been
washed or newly painted.
However, the results were
"negative," and police returned

Spraying for Worms
May Start May 15
Spraying for control of worms
in apple and peach trees should
start about May 15, according
to C. B. Cordy, county horticul
ture agent.
Cordy said it is useless to
spray for worm control right
now. However, coddling moths
will soon begin laying eggs in
the trees and the eggs will de
velop into worms if allowed to
live. Cordy said the moths lay
eggs when the temperature is
60 degrees a half hour after
sundown. The first eggs require
about three weeks to hatch. Less
time is required when the tem
perature is higher.
For worm control, Cordy rec
ommended Vt pound 50 per cent
DDT in 5 to 7 gallons of water,
or as much water as is necessary
for thorough distribution over
the tree. This aDDlication should
! be made once every three weeks
until early August.
LIKES BEING SHOT
San Jose, Calif. '(U.R) First
grader Joey Gomolka Jr. liked
his first Salk polio vaccine shot
so much he sneaked back into
the Mark Twain elementary
school for a second one. Joey, 6,
told astounded nurses that he
"liked the feel of the cotton" on
his arm. They said it won't hurt
him.

Spain Becomes
Russian Target
London (U.R) The Soviet
Union delivered one of its "atom
ic retaliation" threats to Spain
today.
Moscow Radio said in a Span
ish language broadcast monitor
ed here that Spain would be
subject to possible Soviet nu
clear attack if it joined the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The Madrid government thus
became the latest target of an
intense propaganda barrage that
has leveled direct threats at
more -than a dozen Western or
pro-Western countries in the last
two weeks.
Each of the warnings has had
the same theme "If your coun
try is used to launch nuclear
weapons or guided missiles
against Russia in a future war,
you will be wiped out by Soviet
nuclear counterattack.
Reports have been current in
Europe for several weeks that
Spain shortly will be asked to
join NATO. Western Germany
particularly is promoting this.
The United States already has
some key bases on Spanish soil.

Hugh is
g u e s ting on
Dinah Shore's
Aline Mnsby NBC-TV show
tonight. The actor, who eagerly
acts as his own publicity man,
is so excited about his switch
from a sagebrush hero to song-
and dance man that he tele
phoned me to "plant" a story
about the show.
As Hugh points out, most stars
of TV series are devoured by the
character they play, but he's
blossomed out all over the dial,
first as a dramatic character on
"Playhouse 90" and now as a
hoofer and crooner.
Tours Recalled
"It started with my personal
appearance tours when I did a
western song and dance. You
just can't appear, you have to
entertain," he explained.
"Ed Sullivan asked me to do
my act on his show. Sullivan got
more fan mail from that show
than any other. Then I sub
stituted for Jackie Gleason and
danced an adagio and did a clown
routine. His rating doubled.
"If I had just appeared, and
not entertained, on those shows,
being on Dinah's show wouldn't
be such a thing, but people are
wondering, 'Now what is that
guy going to do next?' "
Hugh paused to catch his
breath and continued with enth
usiasm, "I'll do a soft shoe,
rock 'n' roll and calypso. The
reaction from fans has been
great. They are very surprised
to see my versatility."
