FARM INSURANCE MUST BE
Tires and accidents usually follow ah expected pat
tern and such losses are paid by insurance companies
out of current premiums received.-
But sometimes the unusual happens ! The wide
spread destruction caused by a catastrophic fire, ex
plosion or windstorm can bring a sudden drain upon
the resources of insurance companies.
Anticipating such disasters, leading capital stock
insurance companies maintain reserves built up
over the years by careful conservation of resources.
For your security and peace of mind, make cer
tain your protection is in sound capital stock insur
ance companies with sufficient reserves to meet all
just claims through war, depression or disaster. We
represent such companies.

Adoption Law
Extension Seen
Washington -ttTPD Observers
predicted today Congress will
extend the oreign baby adop
tion law for another year after
overhauling it to include safe
guards for the adopted chil
dren. The House already has ap
proved the legislation which is
now pending in the Senate
The law permitting free entry
to this country for an adopted
foreign orphan by an Ameri
can citizen expired June 30,
The legislation as passed, by
the House calls for a petition
to be filed with the attorney
general giving these assur
ances: The foreign-born child
to be adopted will be properly
cared for; the new parents are
of "good" moral character,
and the adoption conforms to
the laws of the state in which
the parents live.
The law was enacted in Sep
tember, 1957. Figures on such
adoptions since that time are
as yet unavailable but,
through June 30, 1958,, there
were 2,949 children admitted
under the law. Of this num
ber, 915 were born in Korea,
369 in Japan, 282 in Greece
and 171 in Italy.
The remaining children
came from 20 other countries
in Europe and Asia.
Mrs. Kathryn B. Oettinger,
chief of the Children's Bureau,
said the new law is designed
to get around the "hazards" in
such proxy adoptions.
She pointed' out that more
than half of the youngsters
from abroad never saw their
new parents until the trans
action was signed, sealed and
delivered.
"In far too many cases,"
Mrs. Oettinger said, "there
have been "terrific conse
quences for the children."

UvBeig Costs Jump
To Record IFogure
Washington - (UPD - Living
costs jumped four-tenths of 1
per cent in June to hit a new
all-time peak, the government
reported today.
Prices of fresh fruits and
vegetables led the advance in
the Labor Department's con
sumer price index. It was the
biggest monthly increase in
15 months.
The index moved to 124.5
per cent of average 1947-49
prices. This was six tenths of
1 per cent higher than a year
ago. .
Ewan Clague, commission
er of labor statistics, called it
a "seasonal increase."
"This is not a sign that the
consumer price index is about
to take off," he said.,
Wage Incrtases Due
Clague estimated that about
600,000 workers will receive
wage increases because of the
rise in costs. About 200,000
trucking employees and 100,
000 aircraft workers whose
pay is geared to changes in
the index will receive two
cents an hour increases.
Another1 230,000 electrical
workers will receive an aver
age one-cent hourly pay boost.
Higher food prices account
ed for most ofthe increase,
although prices of all major
groups of goods and services
except apparel were fraction
ally higher.
Potato Prices Jump
Fresh fruits and vegetables
cost 10.9 per cent more in
June and potato prices jumped
42 per cent. Prices of celery,
lettuce, carrots, apples, or
anges, grapefruit and. water
melon also increased.
Clague said the normal up
ward creep of fruit and vege
table prices were delayed this
year because of rains. This
concentrated the rise in one
month, he said.
Safety Makes Sense
The Summer months June, July, August lead all other
seasons in Farm Accidents. Farm families have reduced
the accident death rate through careful planning. Work
for safety it works for you.
For your insurance needs rely on rep
utable insurance agents. Make sure
your coverage is backed by a trust
worthy firm. Consult your Insurance
Association. '
JACKSON
Some prices were lower.
Eggs, ' coffee, dairy goods,
cereals and bakery products
decreased.
Clague predicted the index
would not change much in
July and would decline in
August.

4 Negro Boys
Admit Locking
Youth in Icebox
Houston, Tex.-flJPD-Four Ne
gro boys ranging in ages from
13 to 17 confessed today that
they sexually abused a 12-year-old
white boy and locked
him in an old icebox to suf
focate. Homicide Capt Wei don
Waycott said the four impli
cated another Negro youth in
the murder of William Boden
heimer III, whose nude body
was found Tuesday crumpled
inside the closed icebox in an
old abandoned shack.
All five of the youths were
in custody, early today. One of
them, a 13-year-old, said they
pulled "a white boy off his
bicycle" late Monday . and
forced him into the shack. He
said he stood guard outside
the shack "while there was an
awful rumpus inside."
Attack Revealed
An autopsy revealed that
young Bodenheimer was sex
ually attacked in an unnatural
manner following a struggle.
The 13-year-old Negro boy
said Bodenheimer-may have
been alive when he was put
in the icebox.
His nude body was found
by his uncle Tuesday morning
stuffed into an icebox in an
abandoned sheet metal shed.
The pathologist called the
death "homocide associated
with sodomy," and said there
was "evidence that the boy
had been struggling."
Clothes on Floor
Police juvenile Capt. Joe
Horton said the child was still
alive when he was put in the
icebox. His bathing suit and
blue jeans were found on the
floor in front of the box.
Captain Horton warned late
Tuesday that, "parents must
keep track of their children,
know where they are and who
they are with at all times."
Alexander Winton, of Cleve
land, Ohio, is credited with
making the first automobile
sale in the U.S. on March 24,

Thousands of peasants al

Washington-dJPD-The Demo
cratic National Committee has
denied that it deleted praise
for party congressional lead
ers from a statement made by
California Gov. Edmund C.
Brown when he accepted a
seat on the Democratic Advis
ory Council last week.
A committee spokesman
said Tuesday that the "full
text" of Brown's statement
was included in a news release
circulated by the committee
for July 16 newspapers..
Brown has been reported
piqued, claiming that commit
tee Chairman Paul Butler
omitted portions of his state
ment in praise of Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon
B. Johnson and Speaker Sam
Rayburn.
Butler has been feuding
with congressional leaders
over their approach to legisla
tion. He has accused them of
not pushing hard enough for
bills to carry out pledges for
the Democratic platform and
of giving in too easily to veto
threats from President Eisenhower.
