Policeman Admits Police Fund Theft New York Patrolman Confesses Looting NEW YORK (UPD — An honor patrolman admitted Thursday night that he systematically looted two police property safes of almost $27,000, thug ending one of the most embarrassing mysteries in New York Police Department annals. Patrolman Jean H. Jackson, 35, a Negro, admitted the thefts shortly before midnight after 10 hours of intensive questioning by some of the department's top brass. He was charged with grand larceny. Jackson, who won disarming and | dation in 1955 for disarming and aresting four robbers, told his questioners he spent almost SI,OOO of the pilfered funds on redecorating his Harlem aparemenri where he lived alone. Some of the money went for several $l5O suits and several pair of S2B shoes, he was quoted. Authorities hinted that Jacsin. a member of the force since June 1953, also spent a considerable amount on an unidentified girl friend. Married and the father of two children, he has been es-

tranged from his wife the last 10 years, authorities said. After confessing, Jacson led investigators to a friend’s apartment and a metal box containing $13,443, representing approximately half of the stolen funds. Jacson insisted, however, that neither the friend nor anyone else knew what the box contained. Two Autos Badly Damaged In Wreck Autos driven by Archie C. Hileman, 56, of near Willshire, 0., and Tom M. Mayers, 20, of Fort Wayne, collided on U. S. route 33 in Willshire, Wednesday, resulting in damages estimate at $1,950. Mayers sustained head and leg lacerations. Damages to the Hileman car amounted to approximately $9500 and to the Mayers car, about sl.000. No Soil Bank Aid To Flooded Areas No Possibility Os, Extending Deadline WASHINGTON (UP!) —Hoosier farmers who own flood-damaged land in northern and central Indiana are out of luck as far as obtaining aid under the federal Soil Bank Act. The Agriculture Department said Thursday it is not. legally possible to extend the deadline for 1958 soil bank contracts to cover farmland inundated when the White and Wabash Rivers went on a rampage in the state earlier this month. Extension of the deadline was requested by the Indiana Congressional delegation at a ing with department . officials Wednesday. Sen. Homer E. Capehart released a letter from Undersecretary True D. Morse giving the department's answer. Morse said under the acreage reserve progrem, his department has “followed the practice of establishing a final date for putting land in the soil bapk prior to the end of the planting seasori, in order to assure that land which is placed in the soil bank is land on which a crop would otherwise be produced . . “We do not believe that we would be authorized under the Soil Bank Act to accept acreages on which o the crops have been flooded out.”

Restraint Is Urged In Times Os Boom Cites Lesson From Present Recession NEW YORK (UPD — The best way to prevent serious downturns in business is to practice restraint in times of boom, a group of leading economists told United Press International today. Twelve top economists told UPI this is the basic lesson learned from the present recession. The economists called for Restraint by government, buiness and labor during times of rising industrial activity to avoid the excesses which lead to recessions and depressions. Roy L. Rierson, vice president of the Bankers Trust Co., said “We have learned that the best way to reduce a business downturn is to curb the ebullience and excesses in the preceding boom.” He called for avoiding large wage hikes under long-term contracts at the peak of a business boom, more restraint by businessmen in expanding their facilities during a boom, and for using periods of prosperity to reduce debts. Ira T. Gellis, economist for E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., said “perhaps we have learned that we can moderate the swings of business activity by restraining the boom that precedes the decline.” Gellis also expressed the view of a number of the economists when he said “We have learned that raising wages and salaries and ‘fringe’ benefits by, amounts greater than rising productivity will cause rising prices, and rising prices reduce markets.” Don M. Soule, assistant professor of economics at the University of Illinois, explained that “because of unwillingness to control the boom, we pay the price of depression.” He said the economy cannot operate full - blast all the time. Gordon W. McKinley, director of economic and investment reI search for Prudential Insurance Co. of America, said the lesson to remember is that in times of boom taxes should be raised to curb the exuberance of businessmen and consumers. Taxes should be lowered in times of declining activity to spur new spending he said.

ADAMS (Continued from page one, Reads Adams’ Denial The new charge by Fox, former Boston investment broker and promoter, came as House investigators cross-examined him on accusations he made Thursday that Adams had “taken care of” his friend Goldfine’s troubles with federal agencies. "After July, 1955,” Fox said, “in a heated discussion with Goldfine, he told me he bought a house in Washington for Adams to live in.” The investigating subcommittee obviously had advance warning of Fox’s new charge against Adams. Rep. Joseph P. O'Hara (RMinn.) immediately interrupted to read two letters into the record. One was from O’Hara to Adams saying that a witness from Boston was going to testify that “Goldfine bought a house" for him and also purchased securities for the presidential aide. The second letter was a vigorous denial by Adams of both accusations. Adams wrote that Goldfine "neither directly nor indirectly purchased a house of mine.” "The house I live ,in," Adams wrote, "I rent.”

However, it is expected to withhold a formal request pending further developments. Both the government and opposition are awaiting SecretaryGeneral Dag Hammarskjold’s report to the U.N. Security Council on his on-the-spot survey of the situation. Diplomatic sources at the U.N. said that Hammarskjold apparently is convinced that the U.N. "watchdog” teams can safeguard Lebanon's borders without help from an international police force.

Report Aaron Yoder Recovers Rapidly Aaron Yoder, of Decatur, may be able to returp home sooner than expected, reports Mrs. Yoder, who returned from visiting her husband at Robert Long hospital in Indianapolis Thursday afternoon. All the stitches have been removed from the incision now. However, there is still some fever which will have to be reduced before he can return home. It is expected to be down by this weekend or early next week, after which he will be able to return home, according to Dr. Harris B. Shumacker, Jr., who was in charge of the delicate heart surgery performed June 17, Mrs. Yoder stated. Mrs. Yoder, who has traveled to Indianapolis every other afternoon to see her husband, has expressed her thanks to the people who helped in giving blood and to those who sent money. Moscow Adds Confusion To Atomic Talks Romanian Expert Is Selected To Attend Geneva Conference LONDON (UPI) — The Soviet Union added new confusion to the Geneva scientific conference today by announcing the nomination of a top Romanian expert to participate in the talks on control of nuclear .weapons tests. The announcement indicated the Communist bloc still might attend next week's conference despit a previous threat to boycott the talks unless the United States agrees in advance to negotiate a formal suspension of all nuclear weapons tests. Moscow Radio Thursday night broadcast a report from the official Soviet news agency Tass that the name of Romanian professor Horia Hulubei had been submitted to the United States for approval as a conference participant. The Tass report did not throw any more light on Moscow’s threat to pull out of the coaference/'The conditions set by the Kremlin at that time would virtually doom the talks since the United States has said repeatedly that it would not agree beforehand to an end to nuclear tests. Some officials believed the Russians still might appear after squeezing all the propaganda value they could out of again trumpeting their demands for an immediate ban on nuclear tests. Other U.S. officials felt that Russia had taken too firm a stand to reverse its threat to pull out. These officials believed that Moscow Radio’s report on Hulubei simply was a belated transmission of a supplementary portion of a note to the United States, dated before the kremlin’s about-face on the conference. The United States, in a note delivered in Moscow Thursday, accused the Russians of trying to back out of a previous agreement to take part in the technical talks scheduled to begin next Tuesday. The note said the United States planned to proceed with the conference “as agreed” and placed the responsibility on the Kremlin should the talks collapse.

Denies Vientnamese Troops In Invasion Government Denies Cambodia Invaded SAIGON, South Viet Nam 'UPD—The government of South Viet Nam today denied that Vietnamese troops had invaded the neighboring Indochinese kingdom of Cambodia. A statement by the secretary of state for foreign affairs said the charges of aggression made by Cambodia were "purely imaginary.” Reports from Pnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, said that Cambodian royal army battalions were fanning out through the jun-gle-covered border province of Stung-Treng to parry what outgoing Cambodian Premier Sim Var called an “invasion” by U.S. trained Vietnamese troops. According to Cambodian officials, several Vietnamese regiments crossed the ill-defined frontier and entrenched themselves in the Cambodian village of Pak-Nhay. They said units of the Royal Khmer Cambodian army were moving up into the area to meet the Vietnamese "invaders.” > The statement issued by the Vietnamese government, however, denied its troops had occupied any Cambodian territory. It said Vietnamese forces in the area consisted of only about 60 civil guards who are stationed about 10 miles from the frontier.

Steelworker Head Assails Industry Steady Increase In Productivity Cited MIDLAND, Pa. (UPD—David J. McDonald, United Steelworker president, charged today the steel industry was telling a "barefaced lie" each time it attempted to "aMbi” a price increase by blaming labor costs. McDonald, in a keynote speech at the USW district 20 conference here, said wage rises were earned through increased productivity at ifio additional cost to the employer. He said steel production per employee had risen "impressively” year after year. The USW chief cited figures which he said demonstrated the rise in production during a long period. He said a ton of finished steel requires 15 man hours of work. Thirty-eight' years ago, McDonald said, 70 man hours were needed to produce a ton of finished steel. “In recent years the growth in productivity has averaged between three and one half and four per .cent,” McDonald said. “Unfortunately, this fact is not known by enough people. And steel industry management does its best to conceal this fact from its own employees as well as the public. concealing it the industry is able to pretend that the slightest increase in hourly wage rates requires a price increase to pay for it. Any attempt to alibi such a price increase by pointing to wages is a barefaced lie.” He said industry was “convincing” in its attempts to stir public indignation with the union. He said many industry spokesmen and “politicians” blame “organized labor for the condition of our country.” Part Os Circus Is Stalled At Geneva Soggy fields caused -by the recent rains have stalled part of the Kelly and Morris circus in Geneva. Half of the circus, several trucks, three elephants and the power generator which provides light for the circus area, were still stalled at Geneva after an attempt to put on the scheduled show at the Geneva ball park Wednesday. The other half of the circus arrived in» Bluffton Thursday morning, readying itself for a show scheduled Thursday afternoon. v Elephants were used to budge, the trucks which were mired also at the Bluffton 4-H grounds, where the show was to be put on. However, in Geneva, the three elephants still there could not free the trucks and equipment from the mud. WATERSHED (Continued from nape one) er, assistant state conservationist, area conservationist, and area engineer have all examined the application, and have reported that it is a feasible and logical project under the small watersheds act, P.L. 566. ““ “ • •' - The state conservationist, C. E. Swain, of the U. S. soil conservation service, must now approve the application. SCS engineers from the state watershed project group, with headquarters at’ Paoli, and other agencies such as the Indiana flood control commission, state wildlife department, and .even the forest service, will be advised of the project. A preliminary report will be drawn up, and submitted to the farmers of the watershed area. At this time they may decide to go ahead with the project, or drop it. It will take approximately six months to get the preliminary work done before this meeting. If the area farmers decide to go ahead, the final plans will be drawn, and sent to the U. S. department of agriculture in Washington, D.C. for approval. The overall effect of the watershed project will be excellent for Adams county, Gillman predicted. In the 3,200 acres is considerable cropland which, even with the Weidler levee and Long-Amstutz dam, drowns out annually. The project will allow farmers to safely plant additional land, replant much sooner after overpowering floods, and will generally improve the economy of the area. In addition, it will hold back for on-farm use, part of the water, and release the additional water systematically so as to prevent downstream damage. The upper watershed must be under sound conservation practices before the downstream areas can predict with certainty their floodwater problems, Gillman added. If all the water from a five-inch rain could be pumped out of the ditch and into .the Wabash, it would make a difference in the flood plain of only one inch, it was estimated. Eventually the farmers of the area, working together to put their long-range conservation practices into effect through ACP aid, will form a watershed association. Approximately 45 to 60 farmers ar© included in the area. Many farmers interested in a larger project encompassing the upper Wabash region were in attendance. The general opinion was that favorable results from the present application will give much impetus to work on the Wabash river.

Estimates Os U.S. Deficit Revised Upward Forecast Deficit Os U.S. Government Sharply Increased WASHINGTON (u£l)—Top federal sources have revised their deficit estimates for fiscal 1958 ending Monday with a new forecast that the government will finish about $2,750,000,000 in the red. Estimates of the deficit for fiscal 1959 beginning July 1 were higher than administration predictions of as recently as a month ago, according to a highly authoritative compilation made available to United Press International. The Eisenhower administration now anticipates a 1959 federal deficit of between 10 and 12 billion dollars and in all probability much nearer the higher figure. Expected Red Ink Figures Given Last-m i nu t e corporation tax payments between now and Monday night change the deficit total for 1958. But presidential advisers expect the red-ink figure to be between $2,600,000,000 and $2,800,000.000. The 1959 outlook has darkened in recent weeks as far as the deficit is concerned. The government’s top fiscal planners now believe revenues will sink well below this year. At the same time spending will increase. The 1959 deficit estimates also mean that chances for individual tax cuts next year look increasingly dim. Although the fiscal year ends Monday, it will be several days later before the government announces the final figures for the year. Categories Outlined Authoritative estimates, however, put the totals for fiscal 1958 at close to: Expenditures — $72,250,000,000 Revenue — $69,500,000,000 Deficit — $2,750,000,00 New, hitherto unreleased estimates for fiscal 1959 show: Expenditures — between 67 and 68 billion dollars. Deficit — between 10 and 12 billion dollars; more likely over 11 billion. President Eisenhower last January estimated 1958 would end with a deficit of only 400 million dollars — expenditures, $72,800,000,000; revenue. $72,400,000,000. Reason for higher deficit was found in one word—recession.

The wires were about 40 feet off the ground and 150 feet from one side of the four-lane highway. Bodies Badly Torn Brig. Gen. Donald W.
