Tex. lAP'-Claudo Batchclor, once given a life sen tence for collaborating with the fnemy. is trying to build a new lile lor himself in his native West Texas. "I don't want to forgot my past. I want to live with it." the hand some young man told a re porter for the San Angclo Standard-Times who found him work in Andrews. He may write a book about his decision to remain with the Communists alter the Korean conflict. "I'm not bitter," said Batchclor, who was paroled Jan. 2'i Iroin the Federal Correctional Institute at Texarkana alter serving the last eight years in U.S. and Commu nist prisons. "I hold no malice to ward the Army." His life sentence by an Army court-martial was later reduced to 1(1 years. The ex-soldier from Kermit. Tex., is working as a junior accountant for Paul D. Lassiter of Andrews. Lassiter says Batchclor is a hard worker, is likeable hut has a long way to go belorc be coming a proficient accountant. "He's still carrying some of the ears of prison," Lassiter said. "When he gets home, he goes straight to his room. That's his prison training. He's not moody.

Its a rare month that Goes by without a false rumor on the passing of some well-known star. Usually the "departed one" is Bob Hope or Bing Crosby. "Maybe it's because we're the oldest guvs around." Gable said, flashing his famous grin. ' ' Death rumors aren't as bad as some of the others.

I could go on and on "Fortunately, the marriage and divorce rumors are all in the past ior me. It 's been years since I've gone through that." he laughed. "If I made all the news that's written about me I wouldn't have time to work or even sleep," he said. "But I'm not complaining. The movie business has been awfully kind to me and I wouldn't change lobs with anybody dead or alive." 'DENNIS TH MENACE" Y0U BETTER GO HOME 30BY.

Fla. AP1 A Miami bound Kastern Air Lines Elcctra narrowly avoided a collision with an Air Force B47 jet bomber near Chattanooga, Tenn., Monday. Three passengers and a steward ess were injured. Capt. Raymond Runrecht, 51. the airliner's pilot, said the big bomber shot past 400 feet below the climbing Llcctra. The Kastern plane, Flight 127 out of Chicago, was southeast of Chattanooga at 23.000 feet when the incident occurred. Seventeen passengers and a crew of five were on the airliner. Huprecht, of Miami Springs said he and his copilot, V. C Tays. were looking to the right for a Northwest Airlines plane, 1,000 leet below. "Then 1 happened to glance to my lelt, he said, "and saw this big bomber coming." He threw the airliner into a l,;mi-ool climb. . The Kastern plane was travel :ng about 445 miles ground speed, Huprecht siid. The bomber was Hying at an estimated 600 m.p.h. The Air Force plane wheeled into a sleep turn just a few sec onds before he pulled up. Hu precht said, "He must have just seen us." The stewardess, Miss Lois Bor ehers of Miami, was treated at North Shore Hospital and re leased. Three persons from the Chicago area were hospitalized. They were Phillip Kaplan, 44, Chicago; Mrs. C.

City Services 'Status Quo' PORTLAND (API The city of Portland will be able to maintain present services, but cannot pro vide any new ones for its citi zens during the 105!l-60 fiscal year, said Finance Commissioner Ormond R.

Only an estimated $6."i0.ooo in new income from a 6 per cent property tax increase is exiiecl cd, and that must go to provide wage adjustments for some, but not all, city employes, Bean said. Bean said the current general fund base coupled with the ex pected new revenue probably will put the level of spending for the coming fiscal year at slightly more than 20 million dollars.

Moon May Furnish Settlers With Natural Atomic Plants NEW YORK (L'PD The first settlers on the moon may find natural a'Onic power plants all ready to nook up and put to use. accord 9t to a new theory stem ming from a recent observation' of volcanic activity in one of '! moon's craters. The theory depends upon two surmises. ur us that some it not! all the moon's craters are filled i wun ausi to consiaeraDie dui un knot a depths. The other is tha'. the moon, hk the earth, has ra- riiav'tiva minerals deep ia its in terior giving orf atomic particles. This preduces heat. If the interior of the moon is hot eaugh to be composed of molten or liquefied rock las the earth's core is), the gases result- FBI Seeking Desperado BURLINGTON. Vt. AP - An uneasy pursuit of a notorious des peradoone of the FBI's "10 most wanted" centered around the sparsely settled New York-Vermont boundary today. Police warned that the quarry, Frank Lawrence Sprenz, 29, was a crack, marksman who would not hesitate to shoot to kill. Sprenz flew into Burlington Sat urday in a stolen plane. He then stole an automobile which was found at Salem, N.Y., close to the state border. The quest took a new turn when the FBI was told a motorist picked up a hitch hiker who answered the fugitive's de scription in Arlington. Vt.. also near the slate line Saturday night Police said they hoped to cap ture Sprenz outside a thickly pop ulated area, fearful there might -be shooting. They cautioned that anyone who might encounter Sprenz exercise extreme caution and quickly notify authorities. Radio and television stations were asked to broadcast a de scription of the hitchhike car a cream and brown 1956 Pontiac sedan. Sprenz stole a plane in Scranton Pa.. Friday night. After landing it Burlington, he walked a mile to a used car lot in Winooski and posing as a prospective purchaser. was allowed to take a machine out for a trial. That was the car found at Salem, N.Y. Sprenz, who hails from Akron Ohio, has been at large since he escaped jail there last April. He naa been Jailed for armed rob bery. ing from such heat have to es cape somehow. If they don't pres sure builds up until there is a tremendous explosion and molten rock soills all over the landscaDe. This is the "volcanic" activity we know on earth. Astronomers know for sure there has been no such activity on the moon for a long. long t:me. But that doesn't necessarily mean the moon has a cold interi- rather, it most likely means the interior temperature of the moon is high enough to keep rock liquefied but the temperature is in equilibrium that is. the pres sure is relieved as it builds up. It is relieved because hot rock an excellent conductor of heat. The heat disperses outward from he liquid core and the rock be comes more and more solid and less and less hot as it approaches the surface. You wouldn't have this" nice equilibrium across the floors of craters, however, if those floors were buried under rock dust. The ability of dust to disperse hot gases is very low. and under known moon circumstances is just about nil. J. H. Kremlin, physi cist of the University of Birming ham, 'Eng.) pointed out in pro pounding this theory.' backed by simple but convincing mathemat ics, in the technical journal. Nature." Therefore, you'd expect "insta bilities" in dust-filled moon crat ers. But they wouldn't be of a highly explosive kind as those in earth's volcanos, since dust is light and the pressure even vast amounts of it could offer to gases bent on escaping, would be quite low. Fremlin said the result would be something like water at a high boil in a pot, "bumping" along and giving off puffs of steam. "These instabilities would re sult in periodic liberations of hot gas and dust just as the slow liber.'.lion of marsh gas leads to occasional bursts of mud and gas Noted pianist-statesman Ignace raaerewski loved to play bridge. He had a bridge table installed in the official railroad car he used as Premier of Poland from the bottom of a stagnant pool." he said.. This, he added, would produce the very kind of "volcanic" activity which was ob served recently on the moon. Fremlin credited his colleague. F. R. Stewart, with the idea that this could be "a large and fairly accessible source of power avail able to the establishments which will doubtless be set up on the moon in due course."
