Sobel Bffore Inspector Winters could bellow a protest, Nick the Nose bad slipped into his office. "I got something this time," the "little informer insisted. "Last night I'm sleeping in this abandoned warehouse when I hear noises. A voice says, 'Did you glim that piece on page 29 about Mrs. Vandermill?' "There's a hole in the floor," continued Nick. "I can see four tough eggs sitting in the room be low. One of them picks up a news paper and turns to the back page and starts reading out loud. What he reads goes something like this: " 'The Baritoni collection of jew els has been purchased by Mrs. C. .Worthington Vandermill of 292 Sea Cliff Heights. Mrs. Vandermill told reporters she will keep the jewels. valued at more than a million dollars, in her house, which she claims is burglar proof.' "The (our guys begin to laugh went on Nick. One guy says, 'Harry, make sure the car is run. ring good, because tomorrow night we're going to pay Mrs. Vander mill a quiet little visit.' " "There is no Sea Cliff Heights In this city," said Inspector Win ters. He lifted a hand. ; Nick the Nose remained unshak n. "They were, probably reading an out of town paper. They'll be back tonight. For ten bucks I'll take you" The inspector rose menacingly. "Five!" 'Five fingers." growled the in spector, putting five on Nick's col lar and five on the seat of his pants. Haledjian opened the door wide as the little informer flew out into the hall. Why wasn't Nick paid off?

Sobol) Guerilla Fighting Ohioan Always Sought Adventure By BILL NEWKIRK TOLEDO, Ohio (AP Maj. Wil liam Morgan, the adventurous American who has emerged as a key man for Fidel Castro in some cloak-and-dagger operations in Cuba, showed signs of his daring spirit when he was only three. At that tender age, neighbors of his family in Toledo spotted little Billy Morgan toddling resolutely down his street with a handful of personal treasures wrapped in a handkerchief. "I go to New York to see Major Bowes," the boy explained indig nantly to his astounded "mother, referring to the late star of a radio amateur show. ' "That boy hasn't given me moment's peace since then," says Mrs. A. W. Morgan, wife of a re tired electric utility company ex ecutive. "That's why my hair is gray." " Latest exploits of the 30-year-old Morgan were discussed by Castro Friday night in a televi sion appearance during which Castro attacked Rafael L. Trujil- lo, boss of the Dominican Repub lic. Morgan played his part so well, Trujillo believed he had "bought end paid for" Morgan's loyalty. Castro said. The Cuban leader said Trujillo went so far as to name Morgan head ot a conspir acy against Castro, replacing El- cuterio Pedraza, a general under Batista who had been regarded abroad as the leader of the anti' Castro forces training in the Do minican Republic. A Cuban military spokesman said Morgan had tricked an arms- laden plane from the Dominican Republic into landing Thursday night at Trinidad Airport where ' it was seized in a gunfight. Morgan joined Castro in 1957 upon learning that a friend had been killed by Cuban secret police While smuggling arms to Castro's rebels. He led guerrilla fighters known as the "Tigers of the Espesura" In 15 battles against Batista forces. Morgan once said his force ;Of 5,000 was reduced to 3,000 in the fighting. Morgan's mother said Friday he made a secret trip to Toledo by commercial plane a month ago. "I asked him what kind of trou ble he was getting into now and ne sam mere wasn t any more trouble," Mrs. Morgan recalled. "But a mother knows. 1 got a look at his clothing, and there wasn't a speck ot identification. Why, he must have known even then he was going to pull that trick in the Dominican Republic." That one-day ' trip' to Toledo marked the first time Morgan's parents had seen him since he left here just before Christmas in 1457 to join Castro. Since then his first wife, Ther esa, mother of his two children, aged 3 and 1, has divorced him on grounds of desertion, and Mor gan has married a Cuban school teacher. Morgan, who didn't finish high school, read adventure stories while other boys were playing baseball in his native Cleveland "He simply couldn't wait to get out m the world himself, his mother said. Farmers Union Wants Probe PORTLAND (AP)-The Oregon Farmers Union said the condition of agriculture in Oregon is de pressed, and called for an inves tigation. H. D. Rolph, state Farmers Union president, said dairying, farming and hog and lamb raising all are in a serious condition of overproduction. In a letter to Dr. A. L. Strand, president of Oregon State College, the Farmers Union asked the col lege to check the situation. The letter suggested OSC study the overall profits on distributing and processing milk, and the ef fects of marketing on the, sales o. farm products. It also asked information on future trends in the marketing of dairy and poul try products by producers. The situation is serious, agreed Frank McKennon, slate director ot agriculture. He said, "The farmers are definitely in a price squeeze. Any studies that produce a solution would be wonderful.' 8d8t rnpj l -if It : f Vf 'I vets . -rii f d US Experiences Busiest Day Since Space Sorties Began MEMBERS of a pioneer dairy family, Virginia, Shirley and Peter Scala, will enter animals in the coming Rotary-sponsored Junior Livestock Show and Sale, August 23, 24, 25.

The Nation, in an editorial called "Farewell to Rhino," noted that in 1940, tracks of only rhinos were found in an area once well - populated by the lumberine animals. "Since then it is to be feared that in some areas these animals have been exterminated, or that only one single individual sur vives," it added. The paper, one of Burma's most influential, blamed government of ficials responsible for game pres ervation for not being truly inter ested, and sportsmen, "some of them in responsible official posi tions," for shooting protected game. Burmese villagers also kill the beasts to get the blood and horn, which they believe has great medicinal value. , "There are no' sanctuaries any where . for our wild animals against the depredations of ignor ant and ruthless human beings," the paper compfained. Democrats, LA Still At Odds LOS ANGELES (AP)-Whether this city keeps the I960 De mocratic National Convention is still up in the air. Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler and local party officials failed Friday to iron out squabble over distribution of convention tickets. Los Angeles County Supervisor Frank Bonelli said "The solution won't come until Monday." And Mayor Norris Poulson remarked The score is nothing to nothing." Butler said he hoped the con vention would remain here. Oilman Edwin Pauley's demand for 5.000 daily tickets for the host committee set off the dispute, Butler has threatened to move the convention to another city if the host committee doesn t ac cept his offer of 1,500 daily tickets. Pauley, finance chairman of the host committee, and Poulson in sist that the party's national com mittee agreed to the allotment of 5,000 tickets.' They scaled down their demand to 3,133 when But ler stuck to his 1,500 stand. Pauley wants the tickets as a means of raising money to meet the $350,000 guarantee. He hasn't announced on what' basis the tic kets would be sold. Senate Judiciary Meeting May Determine Rights Law WASHINGTON (AP)-A Senate little headway against Southern Judiciary Committee meeting Satur day was billed in advance as like ly to determine the course of the battle over civil rights legislation at this session of Congress. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen R-I1I) said that if signs point to con tinued stalling by Southern oppo nents, he will consider bypassing the committee and taking the is sue directly to the Senate. He could do this by offering a civil rights bill as an amendment to some other measure called up for action in the Senate. Similar plans were being con sidered by Senators Thomas C, Hennings Jr. (D-Mot and Kenneth B. Keating (R-NY), also Judiciary Committee members. They said they too looked on Saturday's meet ing as likely to show whether there was . any chance to break the deadlock. At four previous meetings the Judiciary Committee has . made opposition toward acting on a two point civil rights bill approved by a subcommittee July 15. Agreement was reached at the last meeting, however, to vote aft er 20 minutes of debate on an amendment ot Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. (D-NCl. It would strike from the measure a provision to extend the lite ot the Civil Rights Com mission from Sept. 9 of this year to Jan. 31, The only other section of the bill would require that voting rec ords be preserved for up to three years and be made available to the attorney general for investi gations of alleged denial of voting rights. ' , I James Madison, who was five feet four and weighed less than 100 pounds, was the smallest U.S. President. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The United States had its busiest day of rocketry Friday since it began reaching for space Hut the main effort failed an at tempt to send a 12-foot inflatable balloon into orbit. The Juno II rocket roared spaceward from Cape Canaveral. Fla., bearing the unusual halloon inonn. Its three stages ignited sjccesstully, but the Inst one ap parently went in the wrong direc tion and carried the satellite back into the earth's atmosphere. Another failure was a giant Titan missile that blew up on its launching pad at the Cape earlier in the day. ' On the plus side at Cape Ca naveral was a successful launch ing of a Polaris missile from a three-million dollar machine that j simulates the motion of a subma rine at sea. The weapon is de signed to be fired from a sub anywhere in the world. At Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., a British Air Force train ing crew successfully launched a 1, 500-mile Thor missile, the kind being set up at bases in England. In Hawaii, Air Force planes equipped with dangling trapeze devices tried to snare a capsule returning to earth from the satel lite Discoverer V, which was fired into orbit Thursday from the West Coast base. They failed to get any sight of the capsule. Surface vessels also combed the sea north of the Hawaiian Islands looking for the floating capsule, but there was little hope of find ing it. Its signal equipment ap parently tailed to work. If the Cape Canaveral balloon had gone into orbit, it would have been the third successful U.S. satellite to circle the earth in a week. Last Friday a Thor-Ablc rocket shoved a 142-pound "pad- dlewheel" satellite .into orbit which still is radioing back im portant space information. The balloon-moon was designed to show just how much drag the super-thin atmosphere up to an altitude of 1,000-miles or so would have on such a large, light object. If all had gone well, the last tage of the Juno would hava kicked free the aluminum-foil package, and a nitrogen hottla would have blown it up to its 12 fnot inflated size. After that it would have stayed in shape be cause of its rigid skin, even if it were punctured by tiny meteori. This moon would have been the first launched by the U.S. visible to the naked eye. It was to be the forerunner of other balloon satellites as big as a house. These are to be used to set up a worldwide communica tions network, by bouncing radio signals off them. MISNOMER Though the milk snake frequents barns, it is attracted by mice, not cows. It was erroneously named because of the belief that it milks cows. . - PARASITE Mistletoe is bad for a tree be cause it fastens itself upon the tree, penetrates its tissues, and draws nourishment from it, deform ing it and sapping its vitality.
