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."

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 Blame
Hooligans
FRANKFURT, Germany (UPI)
Police officials blamed Saturday
teen-aged hooligans for most of
the anti-Jewish incidents which
have revived bitter memories ot
Hitler's Germany.
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.

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."

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.

Moving Walk
Crushes Tot
DALLAS, Tex. (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.
