Newspaper Page Textt Florida Search For Cop Slayer Said Wrong Tip Tallahassee, Fla. (W A strong lead fell apart today! in the search for an "armed. and extremely dangerous" suspect in the slaying of a :m California policeman. All Florida law enforce- j ment agencies had been onj the alert to watch out for ai man identified as George Ed- i ward Cole, 30, who was be- lieved to be somewhere in i . Florida. j Officers were cautioned he : probably was armed with a j high-powered .357 magnum ' pistol and was determined to "kill anyone who tries to stop ; him." I Cole was wanted in thel shooting of Police Sgt. Joseph "-f Lacey during a bar holdup jf . c -ri : t- on t . in aan rrancisco, uec. ou, 1956. He was charged in a federal warrant with unlaw ful flight to avoid prosecu tion. Mistaken Identity The FBI in Atlanta an-j nounced that a case of mis-i taken identity led to belief that Cole had been in Toccba, ' Ga., Feb. 7. The FBI would not say whe ther this development had eliminated the prospects of Cole being in the South. The FBI office in Atlanta said the man who Toccoa wit nesses reported was Walter .L. North, was found Wednes day night in Ohio. Authorities there established the report was a case of mistaken identity. A woman unofficially iden tified as Naomi Wilson North, believed to be traveling with Worth, apparently was his wife. The woman gave birth to a son in Toccoa about one month ago. and North seen there Feb. 7. North bore a strong resem blance to Cole, agents said, but definitely had no relation or connection with Cole. 7 4 EURIED Buildings on farm near Honesdale, Pa., are buried up to their eaves as a result of recenty heavy snow storm.

'Flying Crockery' Studied by Expert RETIRED ENGINEER DIES New Rochester, N. Y. Of) Edward Hopkins Emerson, 80, a retired mining engineer, died at New Rochelle hospital Wednesday. Emerson had been a partner in the New York firm of Emerson and Hill. i Seaford, N.Y. (W A men tal telepathy expert set up shop in the bottle-popping home of the James M. Herr manns today to determine if some human mind is "will ing" the crockery to fly about the house. Dr. J. Gaither Pratt, assist ant director of the Parapsy chology Laboratory at Duke University, said he and his fellow experts on mental mys teries believe that's quite pos sible, although they've never been able to prove it to their entire satisfaction. Whatever the cause, the Herrmanns have been plagued by top- blowing containers, flying sugar bowls, suicidal figurines and a variety of sailing and falling furniture for three weeks now. Tuesday a 'portable phono graph picked itself up and whizzed 12 feet across the rumpus room, crashing into a stairway. It was the biggest problem, object since a chest of drawers fell over several days ago. Britain To Vote On U.S. Bases, Nuclear Weapons London (IF! The House of Commons votes tonight on government defense plans providing for the emplace ment of U. S. guided missiles in, Britain and the use of nu clear weapons against any all out Soviet attack. Both 'proposals were op posed by the Laborite minor ity in the two-day defense de bate that began Wednesday and resumed today. The Laborites argued that the stationing of U. S. missiles in this country should be postponed until after the pro posed '"summit" meeting is held. They say a policy of un restricted nuclear retaliation might mean the "obliteration" of London. Arguments Rejected Defense Minister Duncan Sandys rejected both argu ments. "It is quite clear that the Soviets are going ahead with their own rocket plans," he said. - "They would be sur prised if we held up ours. They might misinterpret it as a sign of weakness." Laborite spokesmen argued that the emplacement of U.S. missiles in Britain in the near future would "poison the at mosphere" before the pro posed "summit'.' ' conference could get under way. British missile plans, based on an agreement concluded recently in Washington, call for the emplacement 'of Thor missiles at four points in this country from which their 1,500-mile range would reach well behind the Iron Curtain.

JOHNSTON STORES 112 South Riverside Canadian Phoners Most Loquacious Washington Pl Ameri cans may be surprised to ?.eam that they are not the most telephonically loquacious in the world. The Canadians are e v e n though they rank behind the United States and Sweden in the number of telephones. According to statistics com piled and published by the American Telephone and Tele graph Co., the United States had the world's greatest num ber of telephones 60,190,377 as of Jan. 1, 1957. . But the statistics showed the Canadians talked more making 480.7 conversations per person, compared with 425.7 per U. S. resident. Other data of interest in the booklet,. "The World's Telephone": The world s deepest tele phone cable was opened last October. It stretches 2,400 statute miles from California to Hawaii. Overseas telephone service was extended in 1957 to Libya, Ethiopia, Ceylon, Viet Nam, Fiji, Bulgaria, British Virgin Islands and Nether lands New Guinea. Fourteen countries of the world had a total of one mil lion or more telephones on Jan. 1, 1957. The United States, with 60,190,000 phones, has 55 per cent of the world total. New York City alone has 4,077,000 phones. Only three countries in the world other than the United States have more. Canada has 4,502,326; West Germany 4,323,225 and the United Kingdom 7,218, 791. A ' telephone user in the United States may call virtu ally all of the 110 million telephones in the world. Globe Circler Seeks German Properties Buffalo, N. Y. OP) 'A Santiago, Chile, woman is circling the globe to meet with her sixbrothers and ulti mately to serve as family am bassador in an attempt to re gain German properties con fiscated by the Hitler regime. Mrs. Cecilia Reich made pher first reunion here where she saw her brother, Josef Ball, for the first time in 25 years. Ball and Mrs. Reich were guests of their brother, Ar thur, in his home in subur ban Clarence. Ball until re cently was in charge of ground services in Israel. In mid-January, Mrs. Reich began the second phase of her world tour, leaving to ! visit two other brothers, Mar tin and Gerald Ball, in Syd ney, Australia. In March she ; heads for Israel, where she ; will see brothers Julius and Alfred. At each stop Mrs. Reich is j securing the power of at- j torney for her family. With J these she will go to their na-1 tive land, Germany, and in-1 itiate action to regain their lands, which for generations consisted of large holdings in Breslau in the province of Silesia. Tunisia President Urged To Go Slow Tunis (IP) Western diplo mats urged President Habib Bourguiba today to postpone or tone down a scheduled "fireside chat" which might hamper Anglo - American ef forts to mediate Tunisia's dis put with France. Bourguiba was scheduled to go on the air today with the latest of a series of informal talks patterned after those President Roosevelt used to make to the American people. Western diplomats feared that the broadcast, if it is up to Bourguiba's usually fiery standard, might lead to vio lence between Tunisian dem onstrators and France's be leaguered garrisons in this country. The president cancelled liis fireside chat last week, saying he had a "sore throat." Police Widows Receive Pensions Chicago (IP) Widows and children of policemen killed in the line of duty here receive aid from five differ ent sources. They receive $200 a month from the Policemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund plus a $20 a month for each child under 18 years of age. Orphans get $40 a month. The payments continue un til the husband would have been 57 years old. Then his family is paid his regular pen sion: about 60 per cent of his salary. , The city council appro priates between $7,500 and $15,000 for each bereaved family and the mayor's Youth Foundation Fund contributes $500. Another $2,125 comes from the Police Benevolent Asso ciation. And finally, when the hat is passed around the police department, the officers kick in about $7,000 more. Chicago lost four police men in action last year and four families lost husbands and fathers. Court Records DISTRICT COURT Rnire M. Merrifield. violation basic rule. $15. Lester i,.
