SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1959 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE J A New Italian Premier Gives Impression He's Not There United Press International Antonio Segni, called to govern Italy as premier for the second time in four years, is a quiet un assuming country gentleman. He stays out of the spotlight as much as possible and has consist ently steered clear of faction ma neuvers in his Christian Demo cratic Party. In a way, like Brit- Martin-Like Family toss Baffles Law MINERAL, Va. (AP) - Each morning Sam Harris goes over to neighbor's house, where he feeds the dog, three cats, one hog and a small herd of beef cattle. ,' Then Harris goes away and the neighbor's house turns silent again. Dusk falls and no lights go on behind the drawn curtains of the white frame bungalow. The cats meow in loneliness. The dog, "Checkers," who loves to play and race around with any one he trusts, peers suspiciously from the corner of the house when strangers approach. Out on the road, the rural de livery mailbox has small metal letters on top which read: Carroll V. Jackson Jr. Jackson, a feed truck driver tcheduled to begin a promising new bank job, hasn't picked up his mail for four weeks. He, his wife Mildred, 27,. arid their two blonde- haired daughters, Susan, 5, and Janet, rode out of the drive-i way and past the mailbox Sunday afternoon, Jan. 11. Hours later they vanished under the strangest circumstances. "If they had an enemy in the world, I don't know it," says farmer Harris, who has known three generations of Jacksons and who watched the four drive off that Sunday afternoon. "Just a nice, normal, quiet cou ple and two nice girls that just bout fills it," he says. The Jacksons drove to Rich mond for the day and on their way home stopped off at the home of Mildred's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Lewis Hill, at Buckner. Then they headed the final 16 miles to their own home at Apple Grove in this central Virginia county, 30 miles west of Richmond. Monday afternoon, Jackson's late model car was found at the side of a country road, half the distance home. It appeared to have been forced to the side of the road, then hurriedly abandoned A few belongings and the ignition keys were left behind. "We expected to find them out there in the field, somewhere, dead," says W. T. Johnson, Louisa County deputy sheriff, "When we didn't find anything that night, we figured maybe we'd find them the next morning, in the sunlight. We put up a big search. But nothing showed up. The mystery grew." In four weeks, 625 square miles of rugged Louisa backland have been searched. Hundreds of leads have been tracked down. But authorities are no closer to knowing the family's whereabouts than they were the night the car was found. am s Clement ' Attlee, he has a gift for giving the impression that ne is not there. But under the outward "fland ness and genuine kindness, there is a great deal of will, progres siveness and independent think ing. Gentleman-farmer Segnl, who marked his 68th birthday Mon day, is the father of Italy's agrar ian reform, one of the great achievements of the postwar cen ter regime. In the process of that reform, Segni gave up part of his own land on the island of Sar dinia for distribution to poor peasants. A father of four and grandfa ther of a 4-year-old boy, Segni is a family man. During his term as premier in 1953-57 he became the target of friendly iokes for his habit of flying back to his native Sardinia every weekend. In his spare time. Sesni still iooks alter the family farm Isilo, Sardinia, and has managed to convince his Sardinian peas. ants to grow carnations no small achievement in the novelty-distrusting island. Some persons who do not know Segni closely consider him weak. But he commands widespread re spect. - His thin face, with silver hair aristocratic features and pensive eyes, is that of a scholar and of a man who believes in things. His career bears this out. Segni was born Feb. 2. 1891 in Sassari, Sardinia, of a land own ing family originating from the Italian Riviera. He graduated in law at Sassari University in 1918 and served as a university proiessor at Perugia in Central Italy from 1920 to 1925. Under the Fascist regime, Seg ni retired from politics and con centrated on teaching and farm ing. As early as 1942, when the Axis powers appeared at the peak of their fortune, Segni started work ing to rebuild an anti-Fascist Catholic Party under the name of "Christian Democracy." The in spirer of the underground move ment was Vatican librarian Al cide de Gasperi, who was to be come Italy's premier for eight years.

Washington tAP The gov ernment is going to borrow 114 billion dollars in new. cash next week because of unexpected diffi culties in refinancing part of the national debt. The announcement by the Treas ury Friday came as a surprise. only a week ago Treasury officials said they hoped to gel by without such a borrowing until April. The need for the new cash arose when the Treasury offered new' se curities earlier this week in ex change for $14,872,000,000 In ma turing .securities. But holders of $2,081,000,000 of the old securities rejected the of fer and demanded payment in cash. This is known as attrition and officials said it was "some-' what heavier than expected." Since the Treasury doesn t have the cash on hand both to pay off these cash demands and safely meet the government's day-to-day obligations it is forced to borrow the new cash. To raise the money, the Treas ury said it will auction 217-day tax anticipation bills next Wednes day. The bills will be dated Feb. 16, will mature Sept. 21 and will be accepted at face value in pay ment of taxes due Sept. 15.
