J., the man who claimed to be the inventor of the ice cream cone is dead. His patent was subjected to legal attack, and the issue was never officially settled. However, the cone is hare to stay and millions have enjoyed the confection that is aa American as baseball.

Experiments and actual experience* seem to have proved tlMk Medical experts differ about whether many type* of chronic i irritations ultimately lead to cancer. One of the irritations about which they disagree is ■tomacb ulcer. However, there is do disagreement with the fact that repeated exposure to tadiaAtota a* from X-ray’. *»n or radkictive element* can cause cancer to develop.

acai judge who reviewed the case said that Touhy was not guilty of kidnapping and ordered his release. Touhy might have been framed, as the court indicated, but he got a good break anyway, for he still had 278 years of a prison sentence hanging over him. Having a taste of prison life, the former gang leader will probably be content with bis freedom. —0 o.— In his annual report J. Edgar Hoover said; "The long range view in the investigation of foreign intelligence activities in the United States is to identity persons engaged in espionage and attempt to control their activities rather than to take them into custody immediately after they are identified.” This is an unspectacular way of dealing with spies but it is undoubtedly the most effective way. By observing enemy agents the FBI can frequently learn the names and the activities of other, more important agents. The FBI works carefully and quietly at the job of preserving our security* —-0— Red Food Crisis:— Reports from Russia indicate that that country is facing its worst food crisis since the Communists came to power some 35 years ago. The official Soviet newspaper Pravda revealed that the shortage is so acute that state collecting points are accepting grains without the customary tests for dryness and worms. Hundreds of thousands of industrial workers have been shifted to agricultural jobs in an effort to deal with the emergency. •- Conditions in the satellite countries are no better, and this could have even more serious consequences to the Kremlin than the shortage at home. The people In these countries know that substantial portions of their production are drained off by the Russians and resentment against them is inevitable. The Red leaders are trying desperately to placate their people with the usual hocus pocus of promises and propaganda. Yet when the promises are not fulfilled they are worse off than before. Attempts have been made to divert people’s attention from their troubles by spectacular diplomatic moves. But hungry people are not easy to divert Had Russian leaders made an Intelligent effort to deal with their country’s problems after the revolution much of this trouble could have been averted. Instead insistence on obedience to stupid rules and regulations cut into agricultural production and set the stage for famine and economic disaster.

Many families have a tendency toward little growths or polyps In their Intestine*. These glandular growths can change later into cancer and therefore should be removed. Many skin moles will also become cancerous. Leukoplakia, a condition in which a white patch appears on the lining membrane of the body cavities, can turn cancerous. When found In the mouth, it 1* usually due to a chronic Irritation. perhaps to sharp, ragged , teeth or imperfect denture* Once the source of Irritation 1> removed and X-ray treatment given locally, there should be nc j fear of the leukoplakia develpP- . ing Into cancer. ■ QUESTION UD ANSWEB > Mrs. C.: My child likes to gc > barefoot during th* summer.

Jobless Pay Claims Declined Last Week INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The Indiana employment security division reported today that last week's total of 62,380 jobless insurance claims represented a five per cent decline from the week before but still topped the total of a year ago by approximately 44,000. An increase in Kokomo resulted from an inventory layoff at a communication equipment plant and a one-week shutdown of a factory in the fabricated metal products industry. NO NEW GLOBAL (Ceattabea Fro— oa«» He parried a question on the prospects foi a reduction of income taxes in the next year, and declined to make any definite prediction on the amount government spending can be cut. The general outlook is for both reduced income and reduced expenditures, he said, but did not elaborate further. The President asserted in answer to a question that he is prepared to use any legal device to prevent a work stoppage at the nation's atomic plants, declaring that this is one place where we cannot tolerate a strike. Workers a tthe Paducah, Ky., atomic installation voted Tuesday night to strike Thursday. There is also a strike threat at the Oak Ridge, Tenn., plant. 'Mr. ifiieenhower said he is going to take his cabinet up to Camp David, his Maryland mountain retreat, for the regular weekly cab inet meeting Wednesday. The cabinet. which will be making its first trip to the mountahi retreat, will have lunch and a buffet supper before returning to Washington. A question on whether he plans to run for a second term was neatly ducked by Mr. ifiieenhower, who indicated some irritation over recent remarks >by his top assist ant. Sherman Adams, on the subjecL Adams said recently that uMr. Eisenhower is still turning over in his mind a decision on whether to run again in 1966.

CHAPTER SHWhiNThMO* THAT evening the doctor came to my room and told m«: "I'm sending Russell in to Che Paducah hospital. 1 think it might be best it tie has X-rays taken. Since i’ll nave an ambulance for him, I noped 1 might persuade you to join him.” “Not a chance," 1 said. "Why are you so eager to get rid of me, doc?" The doctor said: “I’m responsible tor the welfare of passengers, and you need proper rest and medical care.” - “I’m not sick,” 1 said. "How is Russell ?" "All right, really. But I hate to take chances.’ Then the captain came and I got off the bed, where I had been sitting. “I brought your mail, Mr Wilde.” Jellicoe said. “And here’s * gentleman to see you." The slim, dark man was about 30, 1 guess. He nad a tight, nervous face with thin lips that smiled only wiui an effort He wore sedate clothes, and they were worn with chat air of resolute unobtrusiveness that is a dead giveaway. The man was a cop. “Would it be possible for me to speak to you privately tor a tew minutes, Mr. Wilde?” ne said. 1 took the telegraph company's envelope from Capt. Jellicoe and >ooked al it before 1 answered. Througn the cellophane window 1 could see that it had been sent from Philadelphia. The doctor bowed himself out Capt Jellicoe stood smiling. Something amused him immensely. “Alone would be fine,” 1 told the cop. 1 stared at Jellicoe. "Well, now," Jellicoe said heartily, "I’m captain ..." "Would you mind, captain, please,” the young cop said. "You want me to leave?” "Il you don’t mind.” The captain muttered to himself and left "Let • see the buzzer," 1 said. There was no surprise in the young man * face. He brought out a leather case and opened it I lidn’t need more than one glance. I sat numbly on the edge of the bed, teeling slightly sick. Cops wouldn’t matter much, not local cops. But this ruined i lot ol things for me. This was a federal cop, one of J. Edgar s boys and ne would have no interest in whether or not 1 got Stewart. Whatever leads 1 had, they would want. And right now. "Just a minute," I said. 1 ripped open the telegram. ~ — It was from Grodnik and read: "Checking Sessions in Cincinnati. No trace of girl. Alarm out. FBI aoUfied,"

When 1. looked up. the fc tu man held out still another yellow envelope, this one with the back flap wide open. "He sent you another telegram. Naturally, we were interested." This one read: “Howard Sessions not Known m Cincinnati. References faked. Have asked Louisville to trace. FBI notified. Good luck." 1 folded them together and put them in a pocket. "You got here fast,” 1 said. He nnued and let It pass. "I wonder if you could come mto town with me, Mr. Wilde?” he asked politely. —-— "For what ?” "A tew questions. We’d like to get a statement." ’’Can’t you do it here?” "Rather do it properly, if you don't mind.” He smiled again, showing me nice white teeth, but no warmth. “And if 1 do mind?" "A little pointless now, Isn't It?' He sat on the edge bt a chair and looked at me soberly. “As you said, we got here fast. Our Louisville office has been on the teletype all day to Philadelphia. 1 have a list of questions to ask. They'll take some time." "If you know what’s known tn Philadelphia, you've got everything I know." “We’U nave to be sure of that," he said flatly. “I'd rather be nice about it, Mr. Wilde, but I’m afraid I'll nave to insist.” 1 stood up; “Okay, let's go.” • • • 1 went with the FBI man. We rode in a taxi tor a tew blocks and stopped at a small one-story postoffice building. The FBI man rang the night bell and we stood on the steps waiting tor the watchman.

The FBI man nad the key in his pocket. He opened the door, flipped on the lights and stood aside tor me. Lt was a barren room with a steel desk and a chair near the door, another desk with a padded swivel cnamin the tar corner. On the floor stood a small cowhide suitcase and a square blocky case covered in dark canvas. The FBI man rolled the swivel chan out- tr-om behind the desk tor me. Then ne lifted the canvas case, unsnapped the lid and, raised it, display iiig the double reels and simple controls ot a tape recorder. “1 cap brmg in. a. secretary, it you prefer. RuUier use this.

A small wintry smile tipped the corners of tus lips. He didn t answer. He plugged in the power cord, switched on the motor and watched the brown tape begin threading slowly onto the empty reel.
