THE UNKNOWN BLONDE
By Donald J. Sebel
"Pinky Kempton's story about
a blonde in a plaid skirt and tight
tray sweater is pretty weak." said
Inspector Winters. "But unless we
break it, we'll never tind the gang
who tried to hold up the National
City Bank yesterday."
"You're convinced Kemplon is in
volved?" asked Haledjian.
"He's been used as a lookout
before," replied the ' inspector.
"About the time of the holdup, two
police officers noticed him loiter
ing on the corner half a block
(rom the bank.
"The way it figures is this,
continued the inspector. "When
things suddenly went wrong in the
bank, the three masked bandits
sprinted for their car. They didn't
have time to haul in Kemplon, so
they left him on the corner.
"We picked him up this morning
(or questioning. He says he was
out walking and had stopped to
Walch a blonde whom nobody else
on the block remembers seeing,
i "This mysterious blonde, accord
ing to Kempton, was strolling on
(he opposite side of the street
looking over her left shoulder and
primping herself in the reflection
01 the store windows.
; "When she got to the Beford
Shoe Store window, she stopped
and slowly did an about face
Watching her window image, she
adjusted her skirt lipper .' and
amoothened her sweVer at the
waist. She opened her purse,' but
noticing Kempton staring at her
hastened down the street.
As she turned the corner
Kempton says three masked men
dashed out of the bank and into a
waiting sedan. He didn't get the li
cense plate number, of course."
Haledjian pursed his lips
thoughtfully, "Kempton's story has
one slight flaw, inspector. Confront
him with it, and he may break
down."
What was the flaw?
Survey Shows Emphasis On

Boom Fueled By More Money

The Federal Reserve Board to
day supplied one answer.
Consumers entered 1959 better
heeled financially both in their
holdings of liquid assets and in
current Income than ever before
in history.
The board issued its annual sur
vey of consumer finances, based
on sampling interviews across the
country made by the Survey Re
search Center of the University
of Michigan.
It showed that in spite of the
recession, total personal income
last year rose by eight billion dot
lars, or 2 per cent. Prices rose 3
per cent, so there was a slight
loss in real income.
But Americans as a group re
duced their load of auto install
ment debt in MM, increased their
savings and bank deposits by the
biggest amount of any year since
World War II, and enjoyed a
sharp rise in the value of their
stocks and bonds.
The emphasis on saving, said

Republicans, Democrats
Feud Over Significance
Of Hawaiian Victories
WASHINGTON (AP) - Unex-,
pected victories in Hawaii's voting
bouyed Republican hopes today
that their party may be on the
comeback trail.
1 Although Democrats disputed
the interpretation, the . GOP na
tional chairman, Sen. Thruston B.
Morton of Kentucky, said the re
sults point to Republican victories
elsewhere in 1960. His party elect
ed a governor, lieutenant gover
nor, a United States senator and
majority of state senators.
Morton said the results in Ha
waii demonstrated that hard work,
significant support from labor and
the voters response to good gov
ernment" will put the Republicans
back in business in next year's
presidential and congressional
elections.
However, Senate Majority Lead
er Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas
emphasized that Democrats had
taken two of the three seats at
stake in Congress. These included1
one senator and the lone House
member. Democrats also held on
to control of the state House of
Representatives. -
Johnson said it was not surpris
ing that the Republican appoint
ive governor, William F. Qulnn,
had defeated Democrat John A.
Burns, who has been Hawaii's
nonvoting delegate in Congress
Johnson said Quinn "had plenty

of time to build up his position'
and should have won in an area
which, until recent years, has
been overwhelmingly Republican
anyway."
He promised a rousing welcome
in Congress for Democrats Oren
E. Long, elected to the "Senate,
and Daniel K, Inouye, who won
the House seat.
Hiram L. Fong was the Repub
lican elected to the Senate. He
and Long will determine by draw
ings later the length of the terms
they will serve.
Pointing out that Democrats
have won every territorial elec
tion ' since 1954, Republicans said
the balloting demonstrated a re
versal in the trend that may mark
the beginning of a GOP revival
in state and congressional elec
tions.
Senate Republican Leader Ev
erett M. Dirksen of Illinois called
the election a party outcome for
his party.
Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel of Cali
fornia, the assistant GOP leader
said the results show "that the
people of our newest state have
faith in the determination of the
Republican' party to serve and
promote the interests of all of our
people, not just segments or fac
tions." Sen. Kenneth B. Keating R-NY)
said the returns show the Repub
licans definitely are "on the come
back trail."
Although the GOP lost the House
seat, Rep. Richard M. Simpson
R-Pa), chairman ot the Republi
can Congressional Committee,
said the election "shows a pow
erful resurgence of political senti
ment for the Republican party
a trend which could well hit flood-
tide by the time the I960 election

Be Suspended
DORRIS Woodie Wilson, owner
of the 40 Club in Dorris, relieved
recently of pinball payoff charges
brought by the Siskiyou County
Sheriff's Department, was less for

nia Department of Alcoholic Bev
erage. Control.
Wilson's liquor license will be
suspended for 10 days effective
September 1 unless further dis
ciplinary action is taken. The edict
came as a result of a hearing
held recently in Yreka by the
ABC,
Wilson was arrested February 2
on charges of paying off Siskiyou
Sheriff's Deputy David Wipgfield
for a winning pinball score. Cot
tar allegedly acted on the advice
of District Attorney Albert H. New
ton Jr. and the office of the state
attorney general in making the
arrest.
Wilson subsequently filed suit in
Superior Court against Cottar
Wingfield and Undersheriff James
Berrian, for $25,000. The case
pending.
Wilson charged the men with
forcibly booking him and with re
fusing to take him before a judge
for an undue period of time, with
forcibly detaining him from con
sulting his attorney, Harry Ham
mond of Yreka, and with needless
ly taking him to Yreka for finger
printing when facilities for the job
existed in Dorris.
He also said the deputies threat
ened to beat him and strike him
causing him bodily harms and he
states he submitted peaceably to
arrest.
The ABC made no mention of
its charges against Wilson.
early 1959 despite the decline in
their holdings of U.S. savings
bonds."
About three-fourths of all lam
ilies held some liquid assets
meaning checking and savings
accounts in banks, shares in sav
ings and loan associations or cred
it unions, and savings bonds
when the survey was made ear
ly this year.
About 40 per cent of all tarn-
ilies had liquid assets of $500 or
more.
About 40 per cent of all fam
ilies reported an increase in in
come from 1957 to 1958. while 22
per cent reported a decline. More
than half of the farmers 54 per
cent had income increases, and
44 per cent of self-employed busi
nessmen reported increases.
Consumer spending on automo
biles dropped sharply last year.
but expenditures for home appli
ances and other durable goods in
creased somewhat.
By early 1959 slightly over 70
per cent of families reported auto
mobile ownership, and 12 per cent
of all families owned two or more
cars compared with 10 per cent in
early 1958.
Consumers favored lower-priced
cars last year. As a result, there
was a drop in sales of eight-cylin
der domestic models and a dou
bling of sales of foreign makes.
There was a sharp decline in the
total amount of auto installment
credit extended, and the amount of
auto installment debt outstanding
declined over the year. This was
more than offset by increases in
other types of credit
The board said that the reces
sion caused more than 74 million
families to lose the income of their
breadwinners for at least part of
the year.

Overdue Debt
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark,

headquarters Tuesday and handed
the desk sergeant a nickel.
"What's this -for?" the officer
asked.
"I got a parking ticket but only
