Fire in Boxing
Promoter's Home
Could Be Arson
Northridge, Calif. (UPD - A
"mail fire, possibly the work
of arsonists, broke out Sun
day night in the bedroom of
boxing promoter Jackie
Leonard.
Leonard, 42, and his wife
were watching television in
the living room when the
blaze started.
Fire department and police
arson investigators were sent
to investigate early today
when a window screen was
found pulled out in Leonard's
bedroom.
The blaze was extinguished
by firemen before is could
spread beyond the bedroom.
Leonard recently claimed
he has been attacked and
threatened by gangland hood
lums since testifying in May
before the California Athletic
commission about underworld
. attempts to muscle in on Wel
terweight Don Jordan's ring
profits.
Leonard told United Press
International it was the sec
ond arson attempt at his home
in two weeks.
Gasoline Can Found
"Two weeks ago Sunday,"
he said, "we found a half-gal
lon gasoline can lying by the
bedroom window. The gas
had been splashed on the bed
room wall outside, but never
lighted.
"I guess they heard us in
side and got scared."
Leonard, promoter at the
Hollywood Legion Stadium,
testified before the athletic
commission that underworld
figures Frankie Carbo and
Frank (Blinky) Palermo tried
to gain control of Jordan's
contract.
Leonard was found uncon
scious outside his Los Angeles
area home two weeks after
his testimony. He claimed he
was attacked from behind and
beaten by two men.
But police, after at first
labelling the attack the
work of "professionals," said
a week later an investigation
led them to believe Leonard
suffered an "illusion."
Severe head injuries which
hospitalized Leonard for more
than a week were said by po
lice caused when he hit his
head after collapsing from a
stroke.
Socialite Actress
Of 20s Found Dead
' London - (UPD - Brenda Dean
Paul, socialite actress who
was queen of the .London
Paris champagne set in the
roaring twenties, was found
dead today in the bed of her
shabby third-floor flat.
The one-time blonde beauty
known once as "Britain's
bright young thing" began
her reign when she was 16.
But at 21 she was a convicted
drug addict.
Doctors said she died of a
heart attack. Near her bed, on
a dresser, lay a supply of nar
cotics. In 1953 Miss Paul wrote in
a public letter:
"To be forced for a whole
lifetime, to appear in court on
charges of unpaid debts, to go
to prison, at times to starve,
and at best to live on the
grudging charity of a few loy
al friends, is hell unimagin
able." Grange Hews

Woman Accused
Of Child Stealing
Santa Ana, Calif.-flJPD-Mrs.
Doris Efaw, 31, was accused
today of leaving her husband
and 14-year-old son in Arizona
to run away for the second
time with her 16-year-old boy
friend.
The attractive housewife,
already facing child stealing
charges resulting from a
month-long idyll with the
youth last April, was arrested
at Costa Mesa Saturday with
the boy and his 17-year-old
cousin. Arizona authorities
were to arrive today to take
her in custody.
When arrested, Mrs. Efaw
said the boy was her son. She
later changed her story and
claimed he used a gun to
force her from her Tucson
home and make her accom
pany him.
Police, however, said they
have evidence proving she left
willingly.
He testified after their
spring affair that he lived with
Mrs. Efaw and had been inti
mate with her.
Mrs. Efaw was free on
$2,000 bail pending trial on
the child stealing charge
when she was arrested in
Costa Mesa.
"Look in my house," she
told officers. "You can see I
didn't plan on leaving. All my
clothes are there."
Her husband in Tucson said
he believed her story and
would stand behind her. -

Whether or not the drug
proves to be useful as a pain

to be sure that it is not mass
produced for indiscriminate
distribution to the public.
The drug is 3-Hydroxy-N-phenacylmorphian.
It has been
produced to kill pain. It may
do the job. It may not.
Clinical studies are being
conducted by the U. S. Public
Health Service Hospital in

N. J., can cause addiction.

"Foreign economies, large

"Lower foreign wage rates
make such wares attractive, to
domestic markets. Trouble

The magazine holds that
"It's time we all took a long,
hard look at Italian silk suits,

They are deadly poison, and

Among these steel products

nails being used on nearly
any building project," says
Harrington. "Nine out of ten

Did You Evtr
St a 'Walking Stick?'
Being unusual is nothing to
get excited about when we
consider some of the insects,
for in this populous field of
living things the unusual ac
tually is commonplace. The
majority of insects are odd,
others are downright queer.
Let's look at the so-called
"walking stick."
This character is not only
ridiculous, he is grotesque. Or
rather she is, for the female
of this strange class of insects
is several times larger than
her husband. She always oc
cupies the limelight and re
ceives the lion's share of the
attention.
Nature intended this insect
to closely resemble a twig of
a tree, thereby escaping the
eves of hungrv enemies. The
female walking stick always
knows 1 just where her hus
band is, for she keeps him
with her all the time.
Six Legs
The body of the female may
be four or five inches long
and as large around as a lead
pencil. She has six long legs
that hold her long body par
allel with the ground or to a
tree twig. : '
She is lazy," seldom walk
ing if she can avoid it. Riding
along on her back, her con
stant and unnoticed compan
ion, is her husband. He is an
insignificant little squirt,
barely as large around as a
kitchen match but nowhere
near as long. He's a model
husband. He is perfectly hap
py to just go along without a
protest.
Often in a fleeting moment
of generosity she moves to a

position where he can reach
out and grab a small mouthful
of food but she carefully gaug
es his meals and never al
lows him to indulge too well.
Change Colors
The walking-stick insects
also have the ability to change
colors to match their sur
roundings, displaying a star
tling shrewdness by moving
around on a branch to get out
of sight if they think they
have been discovered. There
are 600 known varieties of
these insects, 16 of which are
found in the U.S. Some of
the southern varieties have
wings. All are leaf-eaters but
for some unknown reason
they never become so numer
ous as to be a problem.
The female carelessly drops
her egs on the ground, wher
ever she happens to be. The
eggs look like little glass
beads, each with a tiny white
dot on one side.
The insect's legs are very
long, brittle as thin glass and
easily broken. But even if
damaged the insect seems
barely conscious of the fact,
growing a new leg. The new
leg will be shorter but it
works nicely. Perhaps this
gift ' from Nature is a small
compensation for looking like
a stick.

The services offered by licensed consumer finance
companies throughout the nation are many and
varied.
Charges for these services are determined by the
1 cost of doing business plus a reasonable profit.
All state small loan laws are based on this formula
and all American business is based on this formula.
This is one of the fundamentals of the American
free enterprise system.
Licensed consumer finance companies, like their
brother businesses everywhere in the U. S. are in
' business to render a service to the public and to
realize a fair return on their investment and their
labor.
The average net profit of the consumer finance
industry parallels that of U. S. business and indus
try as' a whole. In 1957 this figure was less
than 6.
