The bodies f Melissa An Le, 5, and Barbaaa Foshaug. 4, were found 10 miles north wqgt f Minneapolis near Medi cine Lake in a woods across from Mison Farms, a rehabili tation home for'alcoholics. Since they were last seen ga ting into the car of a blaek aired stranser Sept. 7, dozens if officials and volunteers hadj prSN Marly every square foot t tha south Xfiniva4Sit tw mtH ditfrict where the girls lived. "I had a feeling it wewld be lie this." said Barbara's moth er. She said an older son had bewi praying that his little awter would come back safe, Swte Sy SWe A road maintenance worker feund the two small bodies ly ing face up, side by side, almost touching, in the leaves and frass under the tree, Barbara's body was nude, Melissa Ann was wearing red ahorts and a white plastic head band which the Federal Bureau i Investigation studies closely for possible fingerprints. The girls' things were nest to their bodies and the rest erf their clotltes was about" seven feet away. Police Chief Claude Lien af suburban Plymouth Village roped off a 50-yard square around the bodies. Dr. John Coe of Minneapolis General hospital was assigned to " perform the autopsy to de termine exact cause of death and whether the girls had been sexually abused. "It seems certain now that they were kidnaped and slain," Capt. Henry Deason, head of the Minneapolis police homicide division said. "By whom is an other question." Took Mather To Scene The bodies were identified by Melissa's stepfather, Melvin Leverett, Police took Melissa's 33-year-old mother out to, the scene whore the girls were found. De tective Inspector Calvin Haw kinson said the mother recalled the family had picniced in Ply mouth Village in the past but not near the area where the bodies were discovered, A 5-year-old playmate of the girls said the black-haired stranger carrying candy ap proached the girls and tried to entice them into his car. Melissa's mother said she and her husband drove in their pickup truck "up and down streets and alleys all night" night after night in a futile search. "I'm only 23 but I look 50," the mother said.

The 17-year locust is a mem ber of the eicadidae family whereas the not-ruhner is var iety af politician. That is the main difference. Specifically, net-runners may be defmed as politicians who stay in the public eys by not running for president. Everywhere they g tlwy are asked if they are running for presiitent anil m each oc casion they reply that they are not running at this time. Some politicians I could name but won't have spent their entire careers as not-runners, . , As you may already have fig ured out from the hints I have given, 1963 is a not-running year. Anyone who has looked out the window lately very likely has seen a few not -runners not-running by. It seems appropriate, there fore, that we spend a few min utes at this time reviewing the art of not-running so that we will know what to expect in the coming months. In the early part of the year, not-runners are more or less sta tionary. That is, they not-run only in one place. A member of congress not-runs in Washing ton and a governor not-runs in his home state. But along about October, the not-running pace quickens. The most active not-runners that is, those not running the hardest begin to move about and soon are not-running all over the country. The not-running season reaches its peak when someone asks Harold Stassen if he is running. Momentum built up by the not-runners carries over .into January, but there it begins to taper off. At that time, many of the leading not-runners open campaign headquarters and thus lose their amateur standing. ntars.

The director explained that in 1 cooperation with the court, boys are frequently assigned to per-i form several hours of work in j city parks. Girls are always 1 assigned to work in the public library, Haworth said, and nev er to park work. Occasionally, ' boys also are sentenced to work : in the public library. i The practice of sentencing . youthf (1 traffic violators to I periods of work was begun sev-1 eral years ago in a cooperative program developed by District; Court Judge Loren L. Sawyer j and municipal court judges. : The underlying theory was that too often a youngster's par ents paid the fine for him, so that, in effect, the gravity of the traffic offense was not brought; home to the teen-ager. ! The work penalty program has been praised widely and emu lated by courts in other cities. : & Mi SC'CX'l iNUiCATKO Doctors at tS Wwny of Minnesota, fespital have annewscri that I2-yer-M Darryl Fei'ath has re ceived a kidney transplant from hi mothr, left, and that Ss results, though highly uncertain in (his type of surgery, appear that the boy is healthy.
