t
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.

'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.

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.
