Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
A CHARACTER in Ventura, California, found the perfect
method recently for talking himself out of jury duty. "I
know it's unpatriotic," he told the judge, "but you just gotta
excuse me from jury duty
on this drunken driving
case." "Why?" snapped the
judge.
"I'm the defendant," ex
plained the character. He
was excused.
A television tycoon, living
mainly on tranquilizer pills,
was finally persuaded to con
sult a psychiatrist. He signed
tip for the full treatment, but
the very next morning phoned
the psychiatrist. "I find I'll be
terribly tied up for a while.
Doc, so I'm sending my first
five sessions on tape."
Hugh Scott tells about the son of old Erin who implored his grand
mother. "Please don't lie on the pool table, Grandma, you're wear
tng off the green."

Johnson Predicts Democratic Gains
Washington (IP) Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson predicted Monday
night the Democrats will pick
up enough seats in the No
vember congressional elec
tions "to put an end to govern
ment by veto."
The Texas Democrat lashed
out anew at President Eisen
hower for vetoing the rivers
and harbors bill and the farm
price bill in a speech before
some 2,000 women Democrats.
Former President Truman
also assailed the Republican
administration. In familiar
"give 'em hell" vein, Truman
blamed the recession on the
administration's former "tight
money" policy and charged it
was used to "rob the ordinary
citizens to pay off political ob
ligations to the gigantic finan
ciers." The women applauded
loudly when Truman de
clared, "If you don't elect
Democratic senators and con
gressmen, you deserve what
you get."
The 1958 Campaign Confer
ence for Democratic Women
scheduled a "workshop" today
on the state of the nation's
economy led by Sens. Paul H.
Douglas (111.) and John J.
Sparkman (Ala.) and Reps.
Wright Patman (Tex.) and
Richard Boiling (Mo.)
PRISONERS TRADE BLOOD
Jackson, Miss. (IP) The

trade a pint of blood for a
10-day reduction of sentence.
Prison officials would deter
mine how often each inmate
could donate.

Three Persons Die
As Father, Sons
Fire on Policemen
Dana Point, Calif. W An
unemployed carpenter and
his two sons trained to strict
obedience shot it out with
sheriffs deputies Monday
night in a battle which
brought death to three per
sons. When the firing had stopped,
the father, Charles Seyfert,
39, Tucson, Ariz., his 10-year-old
son, Tommy, and Sher
iff Deputy Robert Schultz, 34,
Garden Grove, lay dead. An
other son and a second deputy
were critically wounded.
The stage for the blazing
gun battle was set when Sey
fert's wife, Mrs. Arlene Sey
fert, 34, and 4-year-old daugh
ter, Roberta, escaped from the
family's dilapidated 20-year-old
bus at her sister's home
in nearby San Clemente.
Mrs. Seyfert described her
husband as a mental case and
asked Mrs. Mary Phillips to
ask sheriff's deputies to stop
the bus in which Seyfert
drove away.
Bus Overtaken
Deputy Schultz and his
partner, Edward G. Johnson,
stopped the bus on radio or
ders at the Street of the Blue
Lantern in this expensive resi
dential area.
Johnson said Seyfert open
ed the door of the bus and
came out holding a .22 caliber
pistol which he dropped on
orders of the .two sheriff's
deputies.
Seyfert's oldest boy, Allyn,
16, leaped from the vehicle,
grabbed the gun and opened
fire. He was cut down by
Johnson and fell to the street
critically wounded.
Then, 10-year-old Tommy
grabbed the gun from his
brother's hand and fired.
Schultz was hit in the chest,
and Johnson shot the boy in
the face.
Seyfert joined the battle
with the same dropped pistol,
fired at Johnson and was cut
down by the officer's bullets
sprawling backwards into
the door of the bus.
Johnson, wounded with two
bullets in him, dragged him
self back to the patrol car
and radioed for aid. Fifty of
ficers from the beach com
munities which line the coast
near here, about 60" miles
south of Los Angeles, answer
ed it.
Officers said the boys ap
parently took up the gun bat
tle because their father, de
scribed by his wife as a
religious fanatic, who had
trained his sons to strict
obedience, had told them to
"shoot if anyone tries to stop
us."
Inside the bus, officers
found two other rifles . and
hand guns brought by Sey
fert from Arizona. He was
looking for work in California.

close friend of President-elect
Arturo Frondizi, will succeed

Economy Pick-Up
Predicted by Weeks
Cincinnati, Ohio (IP) Com
merce Secretary Sinclair
Weeks said .Monday the cur
rent recession "isn't as bad
as some politicians would
have us believe."
Weeks predicted the na
tional economy would pick
up when the people start buy
ing again.
But until that time comes,
Weeks told the Cincinnati
Chartered Life Underwriters
and the Cincinnati - Life Un
derwriters Assn., salesmen
should "get out and sell."
"Pressure salesmanship in
durable goods is a lost art,"
he said. "If we would get
some optimism and get to
work and sell, we could do a
good deal."
