Medford Tribune 2nd SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1958 Pages 1 to 6 Police, Medical Experts Baffled By Giggling Girl Omaha, Neb. (LTD A giggling teen-aged girl found wandering in a railroad yard has baffled police and medi cal experts for more than two months in their efforts to learn her identity. She calls herself "Jane Doe," the name given her by attendants when she entered the psychiatric ward at Doug las County Hospital. Police, psychiatrists and psychologists have tried with out success to get her to re veal some clue to her identity. But the only words she utters are brief answers, like "yes" or "stop." The dark-complexioned girl has turned from a "seclusive and withdrawn", patient into a giggling and apparently hap py girl at the hospital. Medical experts hope even tually to shatter the mental block which hides her past. "She has built up an un conscious defense system," psychologist Jack Dabney said, "and when you ask her something that might reveal her identity or her home, she gives out the wrong answers." New Clu Checked Police, meanwhile, are checking out a clue to her identity provided by Missouri Prison convict Paul Gilbert who said the girl resembled one he once knew in Texas. Gilbert said the girl's father was in the Air. Force. The inmate identified the girl as Audrey Ballet, daughter of a career serviceman. Gilbert noted both girls are about the same size and Audrey was half Mexican as Jane appears to be. Audrey had a habit of wan dering off for days at a time, turning u p near railroad tracks. Jane was found in a Union Pacific Railroad yard in Omaha. Special Session Set by AA Group Missoula, Mont.

Wall Sreet Experts Predict Fourth Quarter Business Rise By ELMER WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York (LTD Every one from the business man to the stock market operator wants to know what's ahead for the re m ainder o f the year. Wall Street experts say business ought to keep on rising with a' flour ish of Elmer WaUzer sirengin iu the fourth quarter. But they aren't so sure about the stock market which has had its best rise on a dollar basis in his tory for the first seven months of the year. If past history is any guide August should be good for the market. So should Decem ber. September should see a setback. October an even break on gains or losses and November a slight edge on gain. Past Performances Over the past 61 years taking out some months of 1914 when the exchange was closed for a time the in dustrial average has risen in 42 and declined in 18 Aug usts. Rails have fared less well 32-24. July has been the good month for rails with a record through 1958 of 44 and 18 losses. The September record showed industrials up in 27, down in 33 and rails up 25 and down 35. In October it's been 30-30 for industrials and 29-31 for rails. November has seen 35 gains and 25 losses for industrials over the years and 30-30 for the rails. December with its year end rally has found industri als rising in 44 of the past 61 years and declining in 17. Rails in December have a 36 gain-25 decline record. Those figures, of course, hold little real significance for a market that has had a sharp risewBii$.:-th i s. one - hasn't shown any signs of topping out. as the experts say. Hence many think there could be an attack on the all time high of 521.05 set on April 6, 1956, before there is anything but a corrective reaction. One thing that is counted on to keep the market going is that the speculative side of it hasn't been going on too long. According to L. O. Hooper, analyst for W. E. Hutton & Co., if the performance of the past two or three weeks had followed a long period o f speculative enthusiasm, those who look for a "blow off" would have a better chance of being right "Actually," he says, "this revival of speculation follows a prolonged period of skepti cism and not too large vol ume, and it easily could be a break out on the favorable side rather than a culmination of the advance. "The one thing to keep in Representative Explains Phone To Roundtable Kenneth MacDonald, Med ford, outside representative with the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, en lightened persons at the Jack son County Chamber of Com merce Monday roundtable with a demonstration and dis cussion of the operation of a pay telephone. MacDonald used one of the familiar wall-pay phones to show the construction and op eration of the machines. The boxes are made of case-hardened steel, he said, a factor which discourages burglary attempts. Something else to think about before breaking into one of the phones is that part of the money belongs to the federal government, colllectedin the form of tax, he noted. Two main benefits derived from the pay phones were pointed out by MacDonald. These are: Protection to busi nessmen and convenience. In a number of business, par ticularly taverns and service stations, the speaker said, the pay phone protects the pro priator from unauthorized toll usage. 400 Pay Phones Here There are about 400 pay phones in Medford, Ashland, Phoenix, Talent, Gold Hill, and Jacksonville, according to MacDonald. Periodically a collector will pick up from qach phone a sealed box con taining the revenue. Despite the vast number of pay phones in operation, each one has a different lock and key, MacDonald said. As the money boxes are taken from the phones they are automatically locked. Still sealed, the boxes are shipped to Portland where the money is sorted, packaged and tab ulated under strict security conditions. The speaker next Monday will be Maj. Warwick Charl ton of England, one of those responsible for the construc tion of the .Mayflower II. The roundtable luncheon is held each week beginning at noon, in the Jackson Hotel.

Old Fundamentals Ignored "Some of the old-line fun damentals about price-earnings ratios and other tradi tional measures of proper prices for the ( time being at least, do not seem to be doing people much good." There is talk that the mar ket will break through . the record high! "If the market goes through the all-time peak," says Jo seph E. Granville, analyst for E. F. Hutton & Co., "it is felt that there would be a real possibility for a rapid additional 50-point climb tak ing place in the September segment." He believes, however, it would be far healthier for the market -to undergo some cor rection before setting off to new high levels.
