(AP)-Max Hess, the owner of a large depart merit store, said Friday night that he paid $10,000 to help get a former employe on the television quiz show, "$M,000 Question." He explained this to a reporter fn revealing that he had been sub poenaed to appear Monday before a House subcommittee investigat ing the rigging of quiz shows. "It was worth every cent of the money, said Hess, president of Hess Brothers Department Store, "because it proved to be a highly talked about program which fo cused the public eye on Hess Brothers and the city of Allen town." Hess said he was subpoenaed to appear before the Legislative Oversight subcommittee to explain the role he played in getting Ken neth Hoffer on the quiz show. Hoffcr, of Reading, appeared ence on the Columbia Broadcast ing System quiz show, in August 1955. He missed his third question for $512 and went home with out a nickel's winnings. "This didn't bother us," ex plained Hess, "because the young . pian was eager to appear on the program and attempt to win on i his own merits, and as far as we are concerned we had achieved cur goal to once again expose the name of He.ss Brothers and the city of Allentown to millions of people." Bombep-To-lslissilp C.Wfag Effected In- Middle-East WASHINGTON (AP)-The West-l em powers apparently have prac tically completed a shift in Euro pean defense emphasis from bombers to missiles. Two develop ments make this clear: 1. The United States has agreed to close down its four air bases and one naval base in Morocco. 2. The United States has reached an agreement with Turkey to set up an intermediate-range Jupiter missile base in that country, stra tegically located on Russia's bor der. The issue of the American air bases in Moroccan soil has been politically explosive since the lit tle North African kingdom gained its independence in 1956. The Moroccans have long want ed the American forces with drawn. The State Department an nounced that plans for the with drawal have been presented to the Moroccan prime minister. Negotiations for the missile base in Turkey, which will offset the loss of the Moroccan bases, have been underway for some time. Formal agreement was announced Friday. The abandonment of the air bas es follows a chance in strategy BEWARE: AMERICAN LONDON (UP1) - The' Daily Telegraph today reported that an automobile at Windsor, being driven on Britain's drive-on-the-Ieft-hand-side roads, bears a neat metal rear end sign warning: "Caution, American driver." Cascade Merges With Consumers SEATTLE (AP) Cascade Natural Gas Co. announced Fri day it has acquired Consumers Gas Co. of Bend, Ore., through merger. Cascade said stockholders of Consumers Gas would receive one share of Cascade stock for each 75 shares of Consumers Gas or receive cash. Earlier in the week Cascade ac quired Eastern Oregon Natural Gas Co. by merger. that began in December, 1!57. The Allied high command at that time decided to gradually shift emphasis from bombers, now becoming obsolete in the missile age, to rockets capable of carry ing nuclear warheads. Two Jupiter bases are being set up in Italy. Four squadrons of the $l,500-mile Thor missiles are be ing delivered to Great Britain. The Pentagon said Friday it was! cutting down the number of Eu rope-bound Thor squadrons from five to four. The four in Britain remained unchanged. The fifth was to have gone to another coun try. But France and West Germany have balked at having these mis sile bases established on their soil. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev has made pointed threats about countries that harbor Allied mis sile bases. Greece also was ap proached, but nothing came of it. This probably was a factor in the cutting down of the number of Thor squadrons. The bomber bases overseas cost many millions of dollars and in the postwar years were an essen tial part of the Allied defenses. But the medium range B47 bomb ers they were set up for are get ting out of date. Bomber bases will be maintain ed, however, in Spain and Eng land. At the same time the United States is steadily increasing ils force of B52 intercontinental bombers, which can be based in this country. These bombers, the mainstay of the Strategic Air Command, even tually will be replaced by missiles. But until the intercontinental mis siles are perfected, they remain an important defense requirement. The use of the B52 also cut down the need for maintaining air bases in Europe and the Mediterrane an area. lote Brings Civil Suit Trical Vitneas Describes Fiftding Weapon Near Bly Glenn D.

The almost unbelievable chain of circumstances that placed a gun, found beneath a juniper tree near Bly, at the scene ot a death crime in San Francisco last De cember 30. is one of the most un usual actual stories to appear in print for some time. The finding of I lie gun, a .357 Magnum that killed Police Ser geant Joseph Lacey of the Bay A-ea city during a 1956 holdup, involves a Klamath County deputy sheriff, John Holloway of Beatty, and a Southern Oregon boy, Clif- lord Pinkham, t4, who sat calmly in a San Francisco courtroom this week and detailed for a jury lhe; finding of the heavy weapon last July 18. He had wandered away from his father's car, stopped on Highway fiB a short way East of Bly after Arden Pinkham, a Medford insur ance man, had been stopped by the officer for speeding. As he held the weapon on the stand, the round-faced youth de scribed the finding, "1 walked over by this tree and I saw what looked like the cylinder of a gun in the dirt. I took the gun out of the ground. It was pretty rusty. "I took it over to my father, he looked at it and so did the dep uty sheriff." The deputy jolted down the gun's number and told Clifford he could keep it. The boy and his father continued toward Lakeview. When he reached his Central Point home, Clifford tried to clean the gun every way he knew how, he rubbed it with steel wool, dipped it in kerosene but nolhingi worked so he took it to a sporting goods, shop operated by Mervin C. Gleason who gave him $10 for his find. Then came another fantastic in cident. Gleason tried to have the original bluing restored but the gun was too far gone. Then sometime between the close of business on August 20 and the opening of the shop on .August 27 his shop was robbed and two guns were taken, the Magnum and a .38 revolver. On October 8. an unidentified housewife, sprinkling her garden found a gun on the ground. She took it at once to the Salinas Po lice Department and police filed a report with the State Bureau of Criminal Identification and Inves tigation in Sacramento. The Stale Rurcau found that the serial number was "hot." Iiomi side Inspector Joseph Curt in hit a plane for Oregon after talking to two prisoners Irom Oregon in the Salinas jail. One of them had given the information thai the gun was one of two taken in the Cen tral Point robbery. The gun was traced there to Clif ford Pinkham, and its fantastic history was completed. George Cole, being tried for the murder of I lie police officer, was found and arrested in Des Moines, Iowa, last July. If convicted, he may wonder about fale that placed a curious teen-ager at the exact spot where the Magnum was thrown or buried beneath a tree in a wide expanse of wasteland in Southern Oregon. As well as being the smallest state, Rhode Island is the most densely populated. WANT TO LEARN TO DRIVE? Phone TU 4-7690 .1 I xxWml 0NLY A FEW LEFT! H 00Z.
