Sunday, January 3 19(30 New Mystery Note Injected Into Yule Eve Snipe Slaying PAINESVILLE, Ohio (AP)-AI Hargrove readily admitted the Hew not of mystery was injected into the Christmas Eve sniper claying of Charles R. Clark will) the arrest Friday night of Floyd E. (Gene) Hargrove on a warrant charging him with first-degree murder. Only a few days ago, county authorities said results of a poly graph test had cleared Hargrove of the rifle killing. The 35-year-oli? ' truck driver was freed. Invest! . gators said they were baffled. ; Hargrove went to Toledo to visit ; his mother, Klfie Walker. - Armed with the murder war . rant, Sheriff William B. Evans J and Frank D. Hathy, police chief r of Mentor, flew to Toledo Friday ; night. They arrested Hargrove on ; what they said was "New : evidence." Hargrove was returned here alter the flight from Toledo and immediately underwent further questioning at the county jail. The coroner was called in. The only clue as to what led to the arrest came from Hathy who said an anonymous telephone cal lor provided some important infor '.mation. The Lake County prosccu- Itor, Edward R. Ostrandcr, also ;had little to add: "This is serious ; business. When I am able to talk, ;I will." ; Hargrove was originally ar rested three hours after a bullet crashed through a kitchen window of the Clark home in nearby Men- tor. The target, framed by the light of the window as he opened a can of pumpkin, was Clark, 35, an electrical engineer, Boy hcout leader and Methodist Sunday '. School superintendent. A daugh ter, Carol, 12, said her father was 'in front of the window for only I four seconds. ; Hargrove was picked up for questioning when Clark's beautiful Twife, Lois, 30, mother of four, told ;of an eight-moiith love affair with ;him. Investigators said she also admitted being intimate with five other men during a six year period. " F" relationship with the former mod el, who was reared in an orphan age and married Clark when she was 16, but denied having anything to do with the shooting After talking to Mrs. Clark for 15 minutes at the county jail last Saturday, Hararove switched his story and said he fired the fatal bullet. He said he threw the rifle into Lake Erie. The sheriff and prosecutor said however, they had doubts on some of the details of Hargrove s ad mission. They gave him a poly graph test, a so-called lie detector, then announced last Monday tbt Hargrove wasn't their man. Hargrove agreed. Reversing his fHd once more, the father of five who was divorced from his wife ;wo years ago, said he took the blame for Ihu slaying in order to spare Mrs. Clark further anguish. I love her deeply, he told newsmen, fm wornea lor nor welfare. I didn't want her life ruined." Members Of Club Nebbed By Police THO.MASVII.L1S. lia.

Centlnaom Today from 11:45 Solar System Age Guessed By Scientist By RENNIE TAYLOR Associated Press Science Writer BERKELEY, Calif., AP) - A meteorite which fell near Richard ton N. D., 41 years ago has yielded evidence that the age of the solar system is 4,.0,oiO,ooo years. Dr. John H. Reynolds, Universi ty of California physicist, made the calculations and announced the results today. The age was fixed by determin ing the amount of a rare radio active gas, xenon 129, in the mete orite, The sample contains more of this rare gas than any natural substance previously studied, Dr. Reynolds said. The gas came from the radio active decay of iodine 129 which presumably was one of the cle ments formed when all the chemi cals of the solar system were produced. Iodine 129 has a half life of 17 million years, which means that half of any given quantity of it will turn into xenon 129 in that time. Then half the remainder will turn to xenon 129 in another 17 m'llion years, and so on until the iodine 129 is all gone. When the meteorite was formed it contained just a trace of iodine 129 enough to turn into xenon and thus date the celestial visitor. From this Dr. Reynolds calcu lated that the meteorite was formed 350 million years after the elements of the solar system were made. Other means of telling the age of meteorites give this particular Ivpe an age of 4,600.900,000 years. To this figure Dr. Reynolds added Ihe 350 million years to get the final age of the materials which made up the meteorite. The figure agrees generally with those calculated by geologists and other scientists fixing the age of Ihe solar system at about five bil lion years.

Police said the publicity given the first incident, the daubing ot a synagogue in Cologne on Christ mas Eve witn tne Nazi swasiwa and anti-Semitic slogans, appar cntly fired dozens of teen-agers to similar desecrations of Jewish property. Three young men, all connected with the extreme rightwing Ger man Raich party, are under ar rest for their part in two of the 19 incidents reported since Christ mas Day. But police said they doubted that righlwingers with a deliber ate anti-Semitic purpose are be hind more than a fraction of the incidents. Most bear the hall marks of having been carried out by young German toughs and hooligans as a "dare" in a game of wits with police, officials here said. Mark Asks Land Return PORTLAND (AP)-Gov. Mark Hatfield thinks the federal gov eminent should return to Oregon several large tracts of land it ac quired in World War II. In a news release from the Ore gon Department of Planning and Development, the governor point ed out that the lands now are not being used tor defense purposes Among the areas is the 96,000 acre Boardman Bombing Range in eastern Oregon and the Beaver ammunition storage on the lower Columbia River. Hatfield said the Boardman area is near a reser voir which will be created behind John Day Dam. The area has a potential for industrial development. Hatfield said he had asked all the members of Oregon's con gressional delegation to help re turn the land to state ownership so it could be restored to the state tax rolls or be put In productive use.

By WARD C.VNNEL ROME (NEA) Now, this is the stcry of an Irish priest named John Potrick Carroll-Ahbing, ana now his memory once failed him, But it will explain in part why child psychologists from Harvard University are now combing this country of Roman ruins, Renais sance decay and modern poverty. It may also be useful to Amer ican parents, teachers, college ad missions officers and policemen. "In 1944," Msgr. Carroll said, Italy was beaten. The Nazis were holding the north. The Allies were drivinz from the south. And the country was without a civil gov ernment. "1 was working in the Vatican service, and everywhere I went I found orphaned or abandoned chil drenwild and living in the streets, in museums, in caves, lt was ter rifying. "Here was a whole generation forced into the wilderness, pushed to be delinquents from civilization." In his education Msgr. Carroll had read of American Boys Towns, .... . . j u.. a tradition sianca ny mumm George in 1897 in New York and carried on by Father Flanagan in Nebraska. 'It was, I remembered, a sys tem of communities tor unaer nrivilegcd boys who largely gov erned themselves and thus learned the values of being responsible, productive members of society. I decided to try it in Italy. Some thing had to be done," he said. The plan took eight months to become reality in a bombed-out villa. Then another Town was opened, and another, until today when there are nine with a total registration of 2,400 boys. "It seemed lo be working quite well," Msgr. Carroll said. "But I felt there was much more I could learn from the American system I had only half-remembered in 1944. So I made a trip to the U.S." And what he found was disbelief in the American Boys Towns. Cer tainly the premise had once been self-government for the boys. But it hadn't really worked. And that success statistic of Msgr. Carroll's 100 per cent was too high to take seriously. "I was astounded," he said. 'America had always been my idea of real child-centered fami lies and democratic child-rearing. 1 began to investigate it more close ly." And what he discovered was; The basic relationship between American parents and children is uncomfortable. Accent on youth In many cases is really bribery pay ing off the children in lieu of giv ing them real time, attention and understanding. Much of the U.S. is homeless. The house is only a dormitory and most of the family's activities together or separately take place elsewhere. Meanwhile, formal education both private and public lays high stress on high I.Q. and "potential leadership," further compartmen talizing children. "It was not surprising," he said, "that there were so many emotionally disturbed children in America. It was easy to see that drugs, alcohol and TV were not causing juvenile delinquency, but merely revealing Ihe illness.' To make the picture perfect, he discovered on his return to Italy that a school had been started in Rome, restricting the registration to boys with high I.Q, and "po tential leadership." "By and by," Msgr. Carroll said, "an idea filtered out in my mind. We would have a new Boys Town, limited only to boys with emotion al problems. With help lrom in terested Americans, it is now do ing quite nicely again, 100 per cent success. 'And I note with a little satis faction that the other school for the elite high I.Q. is failing rapidly. "But of course it is an unfair competition. You can't build an elite out of I.Q. But rescue a child from emotional disturbance and you've got a sensitive, creative, in dependent human being." dhure For Gronchi MOSCOW (AP) The Soviets are going to reopen a dark and deserted Roman Catholic church but only for a day. An American priest is helping the atheistic Kremlin solve a deli cate diplomatic situation and avoid embarrassing Italian Presi dent Giovanni Gronchi during his visit to the Soviet Union. Gronchi is flying to Moscow next Friday on an official visit that has raised a controversy in predominantly Catholic Italy. His tight schedule calls for him to be in Leningrad formerly St Petersburg on Sunday, Jan, 10. There is one Catholic church in that old Czarist capital but the Communists closed it a long time ago. Missing Mass could add to Gronchi's political problems , at home stemming from his visit The Soviet government agreed to reopen the church and let the Rev. Louis F. Dion, an American As sumptionist priest stationed in Moscow, go to Leningrad to say Mass for the Italian president and his party. Father Dion is apostolic admin istrator to American Catholics in Moscow under the U.S.-Soviet dip lomatic exchange agreement.

(UPI) Tina Brandon, a 2-year-old tot, had never seen a moving sidewalk be fore. It fascinated her. And it killed her. The sidewalk is a heavy rubber belt that moves over rollers to carry passengers to and from air planes at the modern Love Field municipal terminal in Dallas. The airport was crowded with holiday travelers Friday night when the little girl broke away from her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Brandon of Dallas. She ran to the slowly moving belt, bent over to get a closer look at it, and then screamed twice. Her coat sleeve had caught in the rollers at one edge of the side walk where it turned under at the end. She was pulled down. Before her parents and other stunned persons nearby could reach her, Tina was crushed to death by her own clothing, squeei- ed tight by the rollers. E. M. Hardy, a policeman sta tioned at the terminal, had to cut part of her clothes off to release her after the belt stopped. It a patent expires, it can be ex tended only by a special act of Congress.
