We won't let you give him away." Two teen-age girls left this note with their parents Sunday and disappeared, taking with them the 2U-month-old brother they thought their parents no longer wanted. Yesterday a patrolman found Sandra Hill, 16, and her sister Genevieve, 13, asleep under a tree in a Burbank park, about five miles from their home. In their arms was Mike. The officer recognized them from their mother's missing per sons report. At Burbank police fiation the) girls told a policewoman: "We had to leave and take Baby Mike with us. Ma ma and Daddy were going to adopt him out." Police went to the Hills' home in Sun Valley and found out why the parents had talked of putting the baby up for adoption. "I can't see any other answer," (aid Lyle Hill, 44, a carpenter. "I can't get a job. "Counting Mikey, we have eight kids and we live in a house that was made for no more than two people."

Wall Street Sees Possible Shortage Common Stock NEW YORK (UPD Wall Street envisions a shortage of common stocks if the nation's 200.000 life insurance salesmen get into the securities business. , The vehicle that would bring them in is a new gimmick to in vestment the variable annuity The only reason it isn't running full tilt right now is that laws must be passed in most states and perhaps the federal govern ment to make the sales legal. The current issue of Business Week devotes its cover story to variable annuities and points out that the major controversy cen- The population of the U.S. S R. 'Union of Soviet Socialist Repub lics) is about 1!)3 million. ters on the heads of the nation's largest life insurance companie Metropolitan's Frederic W. Ecker, and Prudential's Carroll M. Shanks. Prudential is for. Metropolitan against the new investment plan. A variable annuity is difficult to define because it is based on age nf person involved, mortality ta bles, expenses of operation of the particular company, particular type of investment plan. But it is simple to contrast it with an ordinary fixed annuity. The variable annuity's payments at maturity vary with the fluctua tions of the stock market. A annuity provides a steady, un changed income. The value of the variable an nuity, its boosters point out, is superior in that it is based on in vestment in stocks and converti ble bonds which would keep pace with inflation. The purchaser of a variable an nuity must pay fixed premiums over a long period of years. The money is invested by the insur ance company in securities, most ly common stocks, and after the payment period is over the holder of the variable annuity begins to receive his income from the plan. So far variable annuities can be sold in the District of Columbia. and some states. Measures will come up in the New Jersey Legis lature in the fall on these annuity plans. New Jersey is the home of Prudential. Shanks holds the variable an nuity represents the life insurance business' first step toward pro tecting retired folk from the rav ages of inflation. Ecker shudders over the pros pect of putting Metropolitan s salesmen in that business. 'They've been selling safety and security," he savs "then they'd be selling speculation."

"I had to split the family up back there and farm out the kids." Mrs. Hill said. "We didn't want to do that again, and we thought we'd let just the baby From Portland Mr. and Mrs. Willis Welt. Portland, were recent visitors at the home of Mrs. Welt's cousin, Mrs. John Brown, of Bonanza. The three grimy, weary chil dren went home in a police car. The girls said they had spent the night in an all-night movie and trudged through the hills, taking turns carrying their brother. "I don't care now," Mrs. Hill declared. "We'll keep him." She told a juvenile officer: "We could make out all right if my husband and I had jobs. We're willing to work." But Hill has other strikes against him. He is on parole from San Quentin Prison, where he served time for the theft of an outboard motor. And he has been in ill health lately. He shook his head sadly. "It can't be done." he said. "The boy has got to go." Good News Men Sock Won't Be With Us In Fall COLUMBUS. Ohio (AP) Pre diction: Football coaches won't be the only ones biting their nails this fall. Fashion designers may do a bit of gnawing, too, but one thing appears certain: the sack dress won't be around. The first thing for f a s h i o n designers, anyway has come. More than 1,300 women from 17 states, wives of delegates to an in surance conference, were permit ted a peek at the fall fashion line Monday. About half of them took time to New Economy Boost Viewed SACRAMENTO (UPD "A grad ual upward movement" in the Cal ifornia and national economy in the next 24 months should reach a new level of prosperity by mid 1!1B0, a budget expert said recently. Robert L. Harkness, chief of the Budget Division of the Depart ment of Finance, said that in the present fiscal year just ended, however, California saw an eco nomic level 3 to 4 per cent below what had been expected. Harkness said the drop this year can be traced to a bigger drop in business expenditures than ex pected, a sharp drop in the car market and substantial liquidation of inventories. "Looking forward to the next 24 monlhs. it is difficult to foresee any development which would pro duce a sham resurgence in the national economy or that of Cali fornia," Harkness said. "However, there are factors likely to produce, n gradual upward movement dur ing this period. "Consequently, it is reasonable to assume that the nation's econo my in 1959-60 will be operating at a level moderately above the 440 billion dollar peak achieved last year." he said. "California should share fully in this business volume, with new records in employment and per sonal income." express opinions in answer to the question: Would you like to wear the clothes you've seen today?" There were 266 who said no. Another 253 said they liked what they saw. And 229 weren t sure they like some, shied away from others. The women had heard Barbara Littlchale, fashion coordinator for a Columbus department store, declare: "The sack is definitely out for fall. Chemise may have become a dirty word, but it's ill with us . . . in a more wearable style. "The trapeze is still here, big ger than ever. And the new style to watch is the empire a high waisted design with emphasis on the bosom. Just so the male will know what's still with him, the chemise is rather straight all the way down. narrow across the hips, and fuller almost baggy above the waist. The trapeze comes down from a narrow top in a kind of triangular shape, getting fuller at the waist and even more full at the hem. The empire is high-waisted, em phasizing the bust. Many women who vetoed the new fashions seemed to be thinking in terms of the feminine figure. One said: "Anyway, it's a won derful time to be pregnant." Successful The food sale giv en at Bonanza Variety Store on June 28 for the benefit of Bonanza park netted $28.50.
