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and withdrawn", patient into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.

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.

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.
