Girls Take Baby Believed
Unwanted By Their Parents
SUN VALLEY, Calif. (AP)
"We are taking Baby Mike away.
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."
Rent on the one-bedroom home
is due again Thursday. The cur-

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

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-

largest life insurance companie

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."

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."

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."

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."
