Family Swimming Pools Become Familiar
Sight; Sales Claimed To Be
New York IW "Anyone
who can afford a car can afford
a swimming pool."
This is a keynote of the sales
campaign that has made the
swimming pool a familiar sight
in America's backyards the past
few years.
Sales have been mushrooming
and are expected to make a half
billion dollar splash on the re
tail scene in 1957. Some indus
try leaders look for volume of a
billion dollars by the early
1960s.
Americans are buying swim
ming pools today the same way
they buy cars and other big
ticket items on the installment
plan.
Pools being offered for back
yard use by some 500 manu
facturers range in price from a
S3 plastic wading job for kids
to a 550,000 or more custom
designed pool sunk in the image
of a grand piano or a Chihuahua

Miteff Favored
Over Mederos
Washington OPI Alex Miteff,
unbeaten young Argentine
heavyweight, is favored at 3-1
to defeat Cuban Julio Mederos
tonight for his 11th straight vic
tory. Their 10-rounder at the new
Capitol Arena will be televised

at 6 p.m. (PST).
Twenty-two-year-old Miteff,
former Pan-American amateur
champion, will be facing the
most dangerous puncher since he
turned professional last year.
But he is a strong favorite be
cause of his speed, skill and
ruggedness. He, too, is a good
puncher.
An impressive victory over
24-year-old Mederos might boost
Miteff into the top 10 rankings;
for the Cuban is an experienced
opponent who met many "name"
fighters in his six-year career.

"CONCRETE is our Business -SERVICE

Industry spokesmen say the
average cost of permanent
"built-in" pools is around $4,000.
At the end of 1956, according
to Swimming Pool Age maga
zine, there were about 90,000
pools in the U.S., against 2,500
in 1948. More than half the pools
have been added in the past two
years alone.
The magazine estimated . that
by the end of 1957 the nation
will boast more than 135,000
pools.
Don Prucss, president of In
ternational Swimming Pool
Corp., a leading manufacturer of
pools, said sales this year have
been reported in every state of
the union.
"So great is the lure of patio

pools have become our second

Cuba Takes Steps
To Avert Trouble
By Rebel Forces
Havana HP) Cuban gov
ernment took strong security
measures today against possible
viollence by the revolutionary
"26th of July" movement which
called a nationwide "general
strike" to mark the fourth an
niversary of its founding.
Troops and police throughout
the island were on the alert.
Extra precationary measures
were taken in Santiago, capital
of rebel-infested Oriente Prov
ince in eastern Cuba, and in Ha
vana and other major cities.
Token Strike Asked
The rebels have called on or
ganized labor to stage a 15-min-
ute token general strike in
opposition to the government
ol President Fulgencio Batista.
The strike call was reinforced
bv a weeks-long rebel telephone
campaign of threats and intimi
dation.
Revolutionary sources said re
bel leader Fidel Castro was not
likely to lead his forces out of
their mountain hideouts and en
gage government troops in any
all-out battle. They said he is
more likely to dramatize the an
niversary with a "sensation" an
nouncement. They give no clue
as to what the announcement
may be.

senting a 25 per cent increase
over last year and a 66 2-3 per
cent hike over 1955," Pruess
said.
He attributed the sharp in
crease in swimming pools sales
to such factors as the move to
the suburbs, more leisure time,
greater prosperity, and conveni
ence. Pools come in every size,
shape and price. There is even
a S1.000 kit for the do-it-yourselfer.
Industry spokesmen pointed
out that thanks to ample financ
ing, backyard swimming pools
no longer are the hallmark of
the rich.
"These days farmers, school
teachers, truck drivers and. ma
chinists all are investing in their
own 'swimming holes'," one offi
cial said.
Slaying
$160 Check
The coroner's office said Miss
Elvins bore 26 wounds on the
head from the flatiron. One blow
cracked her skull. She also had
20 stab wounds in her breast, six
of them deep and 14 superficial.
Hartley said the attack oc
curred Wednesday morning at 7
o'clock.
Miss Soule subsequently
dragged the body into the kitch
en and slept in the bed in which
the victim died that night," he
said.
"She said she planned to put
the body into a trunk and store
the trunk with her furniture."
Needed Money
Miss Soule told Hartley her
motive was money.
"She told us that Miss , Elvins
had received a $160 check on
Tuesday from her mother, Mrs.
Naomi Elvins. The check was
not endorsed."
Miss Soule told Hartley, "It
came over me to get that money.
I had pressing debts in my home
town of Freeport."
On Wednesday, she said, she
went to San Francisco and tried
to pass the check at five banks,
but had no luck. She had en
dorsed it herself.
Then she went to the apart
ment of her sister, Mrs. Dorothy
Ward, in the same building and
said:
"I hit Catherine over the head
with a flat iron yesterday morn
ing." Mrs. Ward called police.
Miss Soule had been rooming
with Miss Elvins for the past
three months. Other tenants in
the apartment said the girls had
not been getting along.

For School
Washington IW House
Democrats bitterly blamed Presi
dent Eisenhower todav for de
feat of the Sl.500,000,000 school
construction bill.
House Republicans defended
the President's role. But they
admitted his failure to give
strong support to the measure
hurt its chances of passage. 1
The House killed the bill
Thursday by a narrow 208-203
vote. Republicans said the close
vote assured another attempt to
pass the legislation next year.
But Democrats said the measure
is dead for a long time to come.
No Senate Action Seen
Even in advance of House ac
tion there was no expectation
the Senate would get around to
the school bill this year, largely
because of the long civil rights
debate. Therefore, any final con
gressional showdown on school
construction was not expected
before next year in any case.
On a party basis 111 Republi
cans voted to kill the bill and
77 to keep it alive. Among
Democrats 126 voted to keep it
alive and 97 to kill it.
"I lay defeat of the bill square
ly at the feet of the President,"
said Rep. Augustine B. Kelley

promise plan to have the federal
government spend $300 million
a year for the next five years
on classroom construction.
"The general ordered the re
treat," said Rep. Edith Green

measure added an amendment
by Rep. Stuyvesant Wainwright

funds to school districts with
