himself of bad luck by getting rid of a |2 bill. Gamblers notoriously fear that such bills are tainted with unluckiness. Madsen's former wife, Anna, from whom be was divorced about 15 years ago, said he visited her early in the evening and they dis cussed their 20-year-old daughter. Pearl, who is sick in a hospital Rhe said she asked Mada.n for money to buy a pair of shoes and , he handed her the $2 bill raying: "those things are just bad luck anyway." Police tfclieved that Madsen's death was lied in with wholesale robberies of merchandise bring 1 shipped through Chicago. They pointed to a long list of truck hi jackings, boxcar thefts and ship ping dock burglaries involving literally tons of loot that the outlaws would have to peddle to | realise a profit. "It looks as though Madsen figi ured in as the middle man and may have welched on a payoff." said i Cat. John Howe. "It may be that I be undervalued some loot to raise bis own profit and the gang resented it.” Madsen was killed in the doorway of a candy and notions store i operated by Edward Johnson. 78

Communists Trail In Norway Eleclion Lose 30 Percent Os Parliament Seats Oslo, Norway. Oct. 11. —(UP)—| Communists lost 30 percent ot their parlimentary strength today In an election that threw heavy support to the socialist-labor gov- j eminent and the Atlantic pact. Most embarrassing communist defeat was in the northernmost district facing the Soviet frontier, where the communist representative In parliment lost his seat to a Liberal party opponent advocating free enterprise. Unofficial results ot Monday's' voting showvd the labor party government of premier Einar Ger hardsen, which led Norway into the Atlantic Pact, would substantially Increase its slim majority in parliment. The labor government, which held 76 seats in the 150-man parliament elected in 1945, gained three seats among the first 100 decided while the communists lost three. Almost complete returns indicat-, ed the Communists would poll al least 30 percent less than they did in 1946. Communist Maneuver Berlin. Oct. 11. —(UP)— The communists gave the presidency of the upper chamber of their eastern German parliament to a Christian Democrat today as part of the "window dressing" for their ( new government The post went to Reinhold Lo- j bedanz, 61, Another non-commu-nlst, liberal Democrat Johannes Dieckmann. already has been elect ed to the presidency of the people's chamber, lower chamber of the. parliament. Both Lobedanz and Dieckmann. however, are considered "safe" by the communists. ' They supported communist plans for establishment of the eastern state and are members of the communist-dominated national front in the Soviet zone. Their selection was interpreted in western circles as a communist maneuver to give the impression that the new east German government is broadly based and supported by all political fadions. The upper and lower houses met jointly for the first time after the Soviets promised to surrender "administrative functions" in eastern Germany to the new state. year-old father of "Fish" Johnson.

THERE’S no doubt about it—when mother can buy an , electric mixer it makes her ; work a lot easier. She can speed up the cake baking with much less effort. * » » MOTHER, however, might ; be interested to learn that the • biggest electrical manufacturing corporation in the nation is trying to use her and her mixer as propaganda for the factory apeedup. The corporation is telling the public that the workers are just like mother. • • • THERE’S one vital difference between mother and the employes of a factory. When mother gets an electrical mixer, she gets ail the benefits from it. She takes less time to do more work, and has more leisure. And no one — not even the big electrical corporation — would dare to suggest that her household allowance should be cut because it takes 15 minutes less to bake a cake! • • • ITS NOT SO if you work in a factory. For the factory owns the machines — and the extra

work turned out by the cm- ( ployes with new machines ■ means extra profit for the . employer. Also, the employer finds ( that new machines allow him Ito use fewer worsers—so a j number of them are laid olf. * • * WITH new machines, each employe turns out more i goods. Like mother, each employe , would like to share the gains by working shorter hours without a cut in pay. ♦ * • I THAT W’AY, human be-» i ings would benefit from new machines. I But if employers use the i new machines only to get more profit instead of cutting , prices ... if they lay off, workers when they could; shorten hours without cut- j ting pay ... then they are us- i ing the new machines against * the best interests of the people. And all the corporation propaganda about "mother 1 and the s|M.*edup” will not cover up the fact that the corporations are more selfishly concerned with higher profits than they are with providing jobs.
