Collects Tax Money In St. Louis County Bright Young Man With Midas Touch ST. LOUIS (UP)—Roger Larson is a bright young man with the Midas touch. Blond and soft-spoken, he makes such a fine impression on St. Louis County citizens they hardly realize what he's Sa ft er—their tax money. Roger has' been happily dipping into the taxpayer's pocket ■for years. Not for himself but for 59 of the 96 municipalities that crowd the borders of that old river metropolis, St. Louis. And while the river giant grumbles at these Lilliputians, Roger fiddles with the figures that make them strong. His- city and village tax collection service is, he said, “the only one of its kind in the country, to my knowledge.” , When a gasoline company decided to wipe out its tax payment to the villages and leave it up to the service stations to pay, Roger coaxed each village into passing an ordnance providing a SI,OOO bond-on each station. The company changed its mindWhen an old lady tottered to his desk to pay her taxes and complained, '‘You’re taking my beer money,” Roger hauled out a bottle of beer and gave it to her. She’s still paying her taxes and collecting two bottles of beer from him. Larson, seated in the office of the half - block - square Larson Building in Clayton, seat of St. Louis County, said, “would you believe my father started this as a hobby? ’ The father. Alton Larson Sr., a CPA, had a yen for city auditing. Three municipalities had tax headaches. They got together in . 1937 to their mutual benefit. The elder Larson spent his 1 spare time brow'sing through tax ! records. He dug up $150,000 in taxes which rightfully belonged to the municipalities through which trackage lay. The money had been paid annually to the city of St. . Louis. — I Land title companies soon rush- ■ ed to his carefully kept books. They had been used to odd scraps of paper pigeonholed by such tax collectors as the garage mechanic, whose records invariably werej

About that time Bill Hageman ~—-saw—Cord—and -came- right over. He plucked his sack tobacco from his shirt pocket and began manufacturing a cigarette. “You look like a man who's traveled," Bill said. "Some,” Cord admitted. He looked at Vince Randolf. then at Bill Hageman: "I took a look g, around the old loading pens at Rindo’s Springs. They'vb been used from time to time.” Bill Hageman took the cigarette from his mouth. “Go. on, Cord. This is Interesting.” "I started out combing the gullies," Cord said. "Nothing there except old tracks. But they all lead to Rindo’s Springs and those old-holding pens. Thewayl fig - ure it, whoever is rustling our stock holds a few head in the gullies until he gets four or five. Heck Overland flags the train and they load.” “Wasn’t your brother heading for Rindo’s Springs?” Randolf asked. The look Cord gave him was enough to knock him over, but Randolf held his ground and returned ..stare for stare. "Don’t jump to any conclusions," Cord said flatly. "I won’t," Randolf said. “I just know how to add two and two and get four, that’s all.” "This is no time to go off halfcocked,” Bill said quickly. "Cord, did you get any idea who’s been pushing out stock 1” "No. Overland wasn’t around. . But I guess it would be easy -— enough to bait a trap.? •‘Tills is the time to telegraph

Everyone cheered and Cord looked as pleased as a well-fed Coon. That is, until he saw Huddletneyer’s daughter stand up. She was a solidly built six-footer, with i shoulders like a section hand.

When 1 glanced at her, her eyes were shining and all for me, and they gave me the courage I needed to go on with this. And 1 think Vince Randolf guessed; there was admiration in his glance. To make it short, 1 boxed Cord five times. 1 filled up his dance book with Uli ones, fat ones, old ones, and anyone he hated on sight Not a pretty one in the bunch, and save Huddlemeyer’s girl, all over forty, which is danged old out here. I’d never seen Cord beat before; it wasn’t pretty to watch. He looked like he was going to hit me then and there, but he didn't. He just whirled and rammed his way through the crowd and went outside to cool off. When Julie’s box came up, 1 gave five dollars for it, to show [her 1 wasn’t a piker, then went over to where she stood. She linked her arm in mine and gave me the kind of look women give their men just before they send them out to slay the giant. ••You were wonderful. Smoke. And I was wrong; you are your own man. You gave Cord a licking, the hardest kind for him to take." “Yeah,” 1 said, “and 1 may have to take one myself.” "No," she said. “I don’t think Cord would ever fight you, Smoke.”,, To tell you the truth, I didn’t dope that one out at the time; 1 was interested in the lunch and the sit-down under the trees. We went outside. Cord was standing on the porch smoking a cigarette. He looked at me as we went by and after we’d gone ten feet or so, he said, “1 want to talk to you. Smoke." "Some other time," I said. "I mean now." I disengaged Julie’s grm tpid turned around so that 1 faced him. “I guess you didn’t hear me," I said.

He turned on his heel and went back inside. 1 let out my breath with a long sigh. 1 tried to figure it out, but there was no solution. Cord just wasn’t acting normal tonight. Tears had washed pale streaks down her dirty face. “Murderers!” she cried. "1 found my man after you’d hting -him A climax wnfolds tomorrow.

Measure Passed On Humane Slaughter To Promote Humane Killing Os Animals WASHINGTON (UP) - The question of cutting off chickens' heads occupied the House Tuesday in a debate that led to a passage of a bill promoting “humane” slaughter of animals. The measure, sent to the Senate, specifies that no method of slaughter is humane unless the animal is first “rendered insensible to pain,” — Sponsors of the bill, which requires meat packers selling meat to the government after Dec. 31, 1959, to follow approved slaughter methods, insisted it doesn't applj to chickens It deals only with cows, hogs and animals like that, Rep. W.R. Poage (D-TexJ said. But peppery Rep. Clare E. Hoffman (R-Mich.) wasn't so sure. He thought it might involve chickens. He and Rep. Abraham J Multer (D-N.Y.) got into a discussion of killing chickens painlessly. “What’s your method of killing chickens?” Multer asked. “It's been a long time.’ the 82-year-old Hoffman said, "but I just used to put it down there and cut its head off. and then I wasn't sure it was dead.” “Then there was another way," he said, waving an arm to illustrate. “I'd just take it by the head and swing it around.” The bill was passed by voice vote after the House rejected. 12273, a proposal to adopt a substitute measure setting up a commission to study humane slaughter methods. Rep. W.J Bryan Dorn (D-S.CJ, sponsor of the defeated amendment. said the Agriculture Department—which would have to administer the measure —is "bitterly opposed’’ to the bill. Dorn said it would -create chaos" in the meat industry. One amendment adopted by the House declares specifically that Jewish ritual slaughter is consideredhumane. The bill also would authorize the agriculture secretary to conduct research on improved slaughter methods with the aid of an advisory committee including members of the meat industry, labor, and humane societies. - Rep. Leonard Farbstein <DN.Y.) told the House some orthodox Jewish leaders opposed the bill because it might open the door to later legislation controlling religious practices. But Multer assured his colleagues the bill, with the amendment specifically approving Jewish ritual slaughter methods, would have the “overwhelming” approval of American Jews. Florence Nightingale helped to open the first YWCA hotel in 1855.

CHAPTER 22 | PE DANCE started again, but Julie ana 1 didn’t go inside the Grange Hall immediately The night was too nice to leave. We listened to the music and once 1 saw Cord wheel by with 1 Huddlemeyer’s daughter. The door was open and i got a good look. They danced stiffly, without grace, two thoroughly disenchanted people with nothing tn common save their destination, and each tiardly able to wait until they arrived; „ A wagon pulled in ftym Main Street and 1 looked around, surprised to see Wade Everett’s wife. She nad the children with ner and was in such a nurry that she didn't oother to tie the team. When she went inside 1 got up, pulling Julie with me. We walked toward the side door and before we stepped inside, the music nad stopped, a deep hush failing over

. the hall. People were standing about ' tike wax statues in a museum. Cord was tn the middle ot the i floor, ms arm still around Huddlemeyer’s daughter. Vince Randott and the other farmers were < backed against the refreshment , table. 1 looked at Wade Everett’s wife. She was dirty and tears had washed pale streaks along ner cheeks. Her eyes were on Cord and she trembled. “Murderers! i found nun! Found him after you’d nung nim!” The chatter started like a nest of squirrels arguing over a winter’s supply ot nuts. Cord slowly disengaged nimselt from Huddlemeyer’s daughter while the preacher came forward, putting his arm around Mrs. Everett's shoulder and making soothing sounds with his lips. Someone brought Jut a " Chait and the preacher got her to. sit down. He brought order; they were in the habit of listening to nim. "What is this, daughter ? Calm yourself and teU us so we can understand." Mrs. Everett fought to get the words out. "My man didn’t come in this evenin'." she. said. "Me an Lage, that’s m’oldest, went to look for him. We found him hanging in the barn. Dead." The preacher had a tough time calming everyone; they all wanted to talk at once. 1 was shocked and even yet could hardly believe this; 1 liked Wade Everett since I’d come to know him better. "Suicide ?" Vince Randolf asked this in his calm voice. , > She turned to look squarely at him. "If ft had been suicide, there’d have been a box or somethin’ for film to’ve jumped off of. But there wasn’t nothin’. He was

Two Whitley County Brothers Are Killed ANGOLA «F — Tw° Whitley County brothers were killed early today when their car rammed the , rear of a bus on the icy blacktop of U.S. 27 three and one-half mile north of here. One of the bus passengers was injured. The dead were Levi Longenecker, 65, and Noah Longenecker, 59, of near Churubusco. Levi, ? driver of the car, died at the scene from a crushed chest.

Judge Ordered To Return INDIANAPOLIS W - Starke Circuit Judge Jack Murray late Tuesday was ordered by the Indi--1 ana Supreme Court to return im- [ pounded county welfare department records because his action ; in the case did not come under “the proper function of the judi- • cial branch.” [ Murray said he felt he had a I "moral duty” to seize the records t because he thought the department’s 1958 budget was too high. But the high court disagreed. In -a unanimous opinion, the court ■ made permanent two previous orders forcing Murray to return 5 the records and end his investi- ' gation. ' .. ■ The first order told Murray not 1 to investigate and the second r ordered the return of the impounded records. circuit court can act bc- ' cause of. “moral duty.” but only ’ “under power and authority granted by the constitution and 1 the statutes of Indiana," the court , said.

"Mrs. Everett, if he was murdered, 1 didn't do it.” "You hated him! You nate all , us farmers!" She was beginning | to cry agam. . j...; Cord frowned. "Hate? Not that. 1 had little use tor you, 1 , admit, but 1 don't hate any man ' enough to kill him.” She saw me out of the corner ot ner eye and suddenly all the blame and outrage was directed at me.

"There seems to be a lot going ! on 1 don’t know about.” , “You came tn late,” Randolf 1 said. “You say you were at Rindo’s Springs." “Is this a trial?” Cord asked. He whipped around and looked at Bill Hageman. “You’re cattle, Bill Where were you?” "1 was asking you, O’Dare, ’’ Vince said. , Cord bit his lip, then said, "Heck Overland will swear tiiat 1 didn’t leave Rindo’s Springs until well after dark. I’d been there all afternoon.” ... . "You told us before that Overland wasn’t there,” Randolf pointed out. "Damn it! I had my reasons." Heblew out hisi breath an<r gained some control. Then ne looked at Mrs. Everett. "This ain’t the time or place, but when someone needs help, they need it regardless. Your man didn’t have a nickel. How are you going to get along?" "I’d take no charity from you!” “This ain’t charity," Cord said. "I’ll, give you three hundred tot your place. That’s tram fare out ot here with some to eat on until you find something better." She stared at Cord, while an angry murmur ran through the crowd. Then she spat on nis boot; that was her answer and she couldn’t have given him a plainer one. “I was only trying to help,” he said and turned toward the side door. • "Just a minute," Vince Randolf Said. “We ’ haven't talked about Luther vet-”

Russia To Display New Air Prowess Fly New Ambassador To States In Jet WASHINGTON W). — Russia will stage a new display of air prowess Thursday when it flies the new Soviet ambassador here in a jet airliner. The State Department said the giant Tu-104 carrying Ambassador Mikhail A. Menshikov is scheduled to land at 4 p. m. (EST> at Friendship Aarport, midway between Washington and Baltimore. The landing will give the Russians another chance to show off the 500 - mile -an hour plane on which they are staking claim to supremacy in the jet passenger field. The United States has no scheduled commercial jet airline flights. Friendship Airport was chosen for the landing because it has a runway long enough for the big jet, which requires about 8,000 feet or more to land and take off. Friendship's longest runway is 9,450 feet. The longest runway al Washington's National Airport is 6,740 feet. Idlewild Airport in New York has barred landings by the Rus sian and all other jet planes or grounds they are too noisy. The TU-104 made its first flight to the United States Jast September when it brought Foreign Min ister Andrei A. Gromyko to this country to attend a session of the United Nations General Assembly At that time, two of the planet landed at McGuire Air Foret Base, N. J The Air Force's Military A i i Transport Service will assign j radio operator, a navigator_anc pilot to the Soviet jet to pilot r through American “air space ’ , The three-man U.

"We re going to telegraph tor the law, O’pare. We don’t intend to nave a man killed-aad do nothing about iL” . "Can’t we handle this ourselves?" Cons asked. "No,” Randolf told him. "Perhaps Everett was the rustler; that’s what you’re thinking, out killing him that way is wrong." "Be careful what you say about me,” Cord warned. "I'm clear ot this and I can prove it."

ever friendliness had been circulating? soon vanished and once again there were hostile people arrayed against each other; tanners against cattlemen, with the Hagem ans and the O’Dares standing alone. Bill came over, his thin face grave. "Damned lot ot trouble here. Smoke." "Murein 1 ever seen before," 1 admitted. 1 wasn t sure who was friend ot foe now and it gave me an uneasy feeling.

I want to be here when he arrives.” “Who do you think did this, Bill?" 1 just Had to ask, even a man who didn’t know any more about it than I did.
