Auto Companies
Stew Over Answer
To Cut Proposal
Detroit TO The "big three"
auto companies stewed over an
answer to Walter P. Reuther's
auto price cut proposal today
while Reuther carried his anti
inflation riteasure to the White
House.
Throughout the day spokes
men for the auto companies said
Reuther's letter had been re
ceived and transmitted to com
pany chieftains but no reply had
been framed.
Reuther, president of the
United Auto Workers, released a
letter he sent to President Eisen
hower, and enclosed for the
President the proposals he made
to Harlow H. Curtice, General
Motors president; Henry Ford
II, Ford president, and L. L.
Colbert, Chrysler president.
Reflects Desire
"Our proposal to the major
automobile producers," Reuther
wrote Eisenhower, "reflects our
desire to do what we can ... to
comply with your repeated re
quests for self restraint and
statesmanship by management
and labor. We hope the corpor
ations to which the enclosed let
ters are addressed will give seri
ous and sympathetic considera
tion to our proposal.
"We are convinced, however,
that the likelihood of their ac
ceptance of ur proposal would
be greatly enhanced if it had the
support of your great personal
and official prestige.
"We therefore earnestly re
quest that you ufce the utomo
bile corporations to join with us
in this positive and constructive
endeavor to halt and reverse the
inflationary t r e n d," Reuther
said.
Reuther Friday o asked the
'big three" auto firms, who pro
duce 97 per cent of the coun
try's cars, to cut prices effective
with 58 models by "at least
$100." He said this would mean
a $140 reduction to consumers.
Migratory Workers
Receive Few Benefits
Chicago (W The migratory
farm workers plays a vital role
in agricultural economy, but he's
low man on the totem pole when
it comes to community benefits,
a study shows.
The study was made by the
American Society of Planning
Officials, which said housing,
medical facilities and schools for
migratory farm workers are in
terior. Such workers are employed in
nearly every state, the planning
society said, and every level of
government has a responsibility
for helping to solve some of their
problems.
Migratory workers leave their
homes temporarily to work at
seasonal jobs, and they play a
critical role in farm production.
Local governments should see
that at least minimum facilities
are supplied to them, the society
said.
Service Seeks Ways
To Protect Polar Bear
Washington W The Fish and
Wildlife Service is trying to find
new ways to protect the polar
bear. Legislation may be neces
sary to give the service authority
to afford the bears more protec
tion. The service said hunters have
been using planes to locate the
bears on ice floes in the Arctic,
then landing to make the kill.
Because the hunting is far be
yond the territorial limits of
Alaska, there is a jurisdictional
problem that is complicated by
lack of specific legislation and
by the practical diffculties of en
forcement. PIONEER IN THE CLOt'DS

Ginger the Dog Helps
Boy Deliver Papers
Delaware, Ohio (IP) Paper
delivery boys have come and
gone on the Delaware Gazette,
but .Ginger remains for the
fourth year of faithful service,
and she does it all for free.
Ginger, a "five-year-old dog of
mixed breeds, belongs to Mr.
and Mrs. Walter C. Rybolt of
Delaware.
Four years ago, the Rybolt's
son, Tom, now 16, started carry
ing papers on State Route 8.
Ginger started following Tom
on the route and finally learned
it so well that she often remind
ed him of stops when he might
have forgotten them.
Ginger became so fond of be
ing an assistant newspaper car
rier that she nearly went wild
each day when the time came
to start oji the route. She paced
the floor and cried while Tom
rolled his pepers before starting.
As soon as he opened the front
door. Ginger dashed out to lead
the wayon the paper route.
The yean went by and Tom
was followed by brother Dan
on the route. A year and a half
later and the route was taken
over by Johnny Reider, who
lives about three blocks from
the Rybolts.
Having the route go out of the
family doesn't chill Ginger's en
thusiasm. Every day when it
comes time to deliver papers,
Ginger tears off, anxious to help
Johnny with his work.

Atrocity Victim
And His Doctor
Meet After 12 Years
Philadelphia (01 A victim of
Nazi atrocities and the doctor
who saved his life met unexpect
edly here recently. Neither had
known the other was in Amer
ica.
The story dates back to the
days of the Auschwitz concentra
tion camp where Dr. Marco Na-
hon, now 61, a Greek Jew, was
being used by the Nazis as a
physician under the title of "or
derly."
The other man, Zelman Boren
stein, 55, was in a much less en
viable position. The only possi
ble future he could see was
death.
Yet, somehow Borenstein sur
vived. He was thrown onto a pile
of humans being incinerated. He
said it was a miracle that he was
able to cheat death and attribut
ed his fortune to "the hand of
God" who lifted him "from the
burning mass of humans." He
doesn't remember the details.
Heart Condition
Borenstein was treated by Na
tion until 1945 for chest and face
burns. He also had a heart con
dition. Then the Allies liberated
Auschwitz.
Both men found their way to
the United States through the
sponsorship of the Hebrew Im
migration Aid Service. Boren
stein eventually began operation
of a chicken farm in nearby Dor
othy, N. J., his present occupa
tion, i
Nahon ended up in clinical re
search at the Valley Forge Heart
Institute and Fairview General
hospital.
The meeting of the two, the
first in 12 years, took place at
tne institute where Borenstein
had gone for treatment of his
heart condition.
Although Borenstein recog
nized Nahon immediately, the
doctor did not fully recognize
nis former patient until he rolled
up Borenstems sleeve to take
his blood pressure. There on the
forearm was tattooed "126722,"
his concentration camp number.
Europe Said Ahead
Of Latin America
Rome W A maloritv of
Italian emigrants consider Eu
rope more attractive than Latin
America, official staistics show.
The flow of Italian emigrants
to European countries increased
by one-third last year, while mi
gration to overseas countries de
clined by one-seventh, and sev
eral thousand emigrants left La
tin America especially Venez
uela to return home.
Experts said economic difficul
ties in Latin American countries
were largely responsible for the
trend.
The over-all number of Italian
emigrants in 1956 was 352,056,
an increase of 31,916 over the
previous year Of these, 229,450
57,110 more than in 1955
went to European countries,
and 122,606 a decline of 23,008
migrated overseas.
Emigration to European coun
tries can be divided into perma
nent and seasonal emigrations.
Permanent emigration , to Euro
pean countries in 1956 reached
a total of 83,745, while 145,705
workers went abroad for season
al work.
The largest number of perma
nent emigrants in Europe went
to France (56,511), followed by
Britain (12,640) and West Ger
many (4,33 o. seasonal emigra
tion was . largely absorbed by
Switzerland, France and West
Germany. It particularly includ
ed farm laborers, masons and
sugar beet workers.
Of the 122,006 Italians who
went overseas in 1956, about 9,
600 went to Argentina, 24,916
to Australia, 5,541 to' Brazil, 25,
000 to Canada, 31,781 to the
United States, 21,555 to Venezu

North Carolina Bank Holdup
Season Now
Raleigh, N. C. (171 It's sum
mer again and North Carolina's
bank robbery season is in full
swing.
There have been five rob
beries or attempted robberies in
the state this year three of
them within 11 days. But the
number is nothing unusual.
North Carolina had eight bank
robberies three years ago.
There have been about 30
bank holdups in the state since
the spring of 1952. The only un
usual thing about this year's
robberies is the fact that the
boys waited this late to get roll
ing. Usually the open season on
banks begins in the spring. There
were two attempts this spring
one here and one at Huntersville
but they were not up to stand
ard. Both bandits were frighten
ed away before they could steal
any money.
Boy's Target
The bandit at Huntersville, a
fireman from Gastonia, had bad
luck. A small boy threw a rock
at him as he ran from the bank
and then copied the license num
ber of his car. FBI agfents were
waiting for the would-be-bandit
when he got home.
The Raleigh bandit took off
like a scared rabbit when a wom
an teller got angry and started
shouting at him. ,
Of course, for bungling, these
two aren't in the same league
with a pair of Youngsville
youths who decided to rob their
home town bank 18 months ago,
the third time in six years the
bank had been robbed.
One of the boys borrowed his
father's car. They even joked
with friends on the street as
they walked toward the bank.
FBI agents were waiting for
them when they got home with
their loot.
Most Crimes Solved
This year's season started In
earnest July 12 when two men
entered the Apex branch of the
Durham Bank and Trust Co.
While a pal waited outside in a
car, they held up the bank.
locked the employees in the
vault and took off with more
than $30,000
Shortly afterward, a mild-
mannered newspaper advertis
ing employee decided to use a
gun to collect enough money to
pay his debts. Worth Alexander
Whi taker, 41, of Garner, held
up a branch bank at Angier, 15
miles from Apex.
Whitaker fled with morp than
$12,000 but withHhe bank cash
ier right behind him. He was
shot and captured as he tried to
swap getaway cars at Fuquay
Varina, about 10 miles from
Angier.
Most of the state's bank-rob
beries have been marked by a
lack of lasting success. ' Of 20
robberies between April 17,
1952, and Dec. 22 1955, all but
one were solved. The exception
was a $3,039 holdup Aug. 18,
1954, at Vanceboro.
The manager of, a Reidsville
bank foiled the robbers one day
in the 19?0's. The bank was built
over a big, dark basement. When
the manager saw the bandits

money.

Language Mystery
Rome The age-old mystery
of the Etruscan language may
yet be solved, according to Prof.
Renato Bartoccini. superintend
ent of southern Tuscany where
the Etruscan civilization once
flourished.
Archeologist Bartoccini has lo
cated .the site of the ancient
Etruscan town of Vulci, con
sidered by experts to have been
Jie metropolis of the 12 towns
which formed the Etruscan na
tion. The site is 75 miles north
of Rome, near the small town of
Montalto di Castro.
Bartoccini was working on a
nearby necropolis when he was
told that peasants in Montalto di
Castro were secretly trying to
sell archeological material. Bar
toccini immediately sent one
of his inspectors to the town and
discovered relics of the Etruscan
civilization were involved.
Scholars knew that Vulci was
in the Montalto area, but lack
of funds had prevented an exca
vation. Hower, when the state
started land reform in the Tus
can Maremma, ' powerful bull
dozers did the excavating.
When Bartoccini realized the
bulldozers had hit the old site
of Vulci, he declared the Montal
to zone an area of archeological
interest to prevent further loot
ing and went to work to unearth
the old metropolis.
He and his experts unearthed

Vulci, contrary to other Etrus

state.
Bartoccini also found a tablet
