This committee — Vem Linker, Harold Melcher, Otto Boerger, Robert Huebner, and the Rev Louis Schulenberg, made a written report to the meeting, suggesting a larger study group to consist of the pastor, school principal.! and a layman from each of the 10 congregations. These 30 mfcmjbers are to be assigned to seven I sub-committees which are assigned the following areas of investiigation: enrollment trends and maps: junior high movement; area development trends; building and cost analysis; transportation; purposes and publicity, and pastoral responsibilities.

William J. “Wild Bill” Donovan, a World War I hero who directed America’s cloak-and-dag-ger operations in World War 11, will be buried Wednesday at Arlington National Cemetery. The 76-year-old lawyer-soldier died Sunday at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where he had been a patient for more than a year suffering from arteriosclerosis. A post-mortem was being held to determine the exact cause of death. As chief of the super-secret Office of Strategic Services during World War 11, Donovan supervised American espionage, sabotage and other intelligence activities behind enemy lines. But he was a military hero long before he organized the OSS, acquiring his nickname of “wild Bill” while serving as commander of New York’s famed “Fighting 69th” Infantry Regiment in World War I. A generally mild-mannered man, Donovan was wounded three times and won the nation’s three highest military decorations—the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Service Medal —for his exploits on the Western Front. Allen W. Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, paid tribute to Donovan as “the father of central intelligence in the United States.", Dulles said “America has lost a soldier and a patriot.” Army Secretary Wilber M: ' Brucker described' Donovan as one of the nation’s greatest soldier-, statesmen. He said the former OSS chief was a “renowned hero j who was first and foremost a great American.” , ”

I Family Os Seven Is : Missing Over Month ■J SILVER LAKE, Minn. (UPD—- , Authorities today admitted they hit a dead end in their * search for a contractor who van- ■ ished Dec. 30 with his wife and ’ five small children, leaving be- ■ hind a pile of debits. Friends discovered the disap- ■ pearance of Earl Zarust, 30, a native of Silver Lake and a town councilman, and his family when they noted milk and newspapers untouched on the doorstep. 1 The front door of Zarusts newly built home was left unlocked and i a Christmas tree stood in the living room. Don Knot, a business associate, said Zarust left four buildings uncompleted and owed him SII,OOO. Knot said he is finishing, the buildings to try and get his money out of them. Checked Every Angle McCould County Sheriff Leon Odegaard admitted hewas unable to find a trace of the missing Zarusts in more than a month of searching. “We don’t know what to do next,” Odegaard said. “We’ve checked every angle. There simply isn’t a trace of them. The only thing we can think of now is to ask help from higher authorities." However, the situation is further tangled by refusal of relatives to swear out a missing person warrant for Zarust. “That’s what puzzles me,” Odegaard said. “Why doesn’t some relative come and list Zarust as missing? The family is coming- in to check daily to see if we’ve found him.*’ The sheriff said no one saw Zarust, who has been in the contracting business for nine years, his wife, Caroline, and their children, Sandra, 10; Susan, 8; Cary, 5; Douglas,3, and Russell, 2 Jeave their home or the town. Takes Birth Certificates There was no sign of a struggle Odegaard said, and some of the family’s winter clothing was gone. He said the family apparently left in their late model automobile. Inquiries to the State Department and to Canadian border officials have failed to turn up any sign of Zarust, Oegaard saidThe principal of the parochial school attended by Sandra and Susan said both children had perfect attendance records until their disappearance during the Christmas school vacation. Odegaard said there was "just one thing” to indicate Zarust might have been planning to flee. "Just a short while earlier, Zarust went to the county courthouse and picked up all his kids’ birth certificates,” he said. Keep Sand In Car Many motorists keep a supply.of sand in a galvanized steel pail or basket in the truck of their car during the winter. Police and safety experts recommend this practice because it prevents traffic tie-ups by allowing motorists to help themselverout of sijowy and icy locations.

Complication j o f pneumonia caught up with the old battler Saturday at a Daytona Beach hospital. He was 83. As one of the pioneer players in the American League, Lajoie set a batting mark of .422 his first year out with the Philadelphia Athletics. No player in the junior loop has been able to better it. and National Leaguer Rogers Hornsby, who hit .424 in 1924, has been the only modern player to exceed it.

In his later years, Lajoie managed at Toronto and Indianapolis and then retired to the business world.

The jetfels were reported missing Sunday from a SIOO-a-day suite at the Americana Hotel. Police recalled that internationnow in jail in Cleveland, was arrested with a master key to all the Americana’s rooms the day it opened in 1956. The key was recovered, but an impression of it could have been made, authorities said. New Yorkers Victims Victims of the theft were Mr. and Mrs. Leon C. Greenebaum and Mrs. Arthur Cede, Mrs. Greenebaum’s sister, all of New York. Greenebaum is chairman of the board of Hertz Corporation, the nationwide rental car organization. Mrs. Cole is wife of the owner of the Mr. Mort Dress Salon of New York. Investigators had little to go on in what they said was the biggest jewel theft in the history of Miami Beach. In the last big theft, a sneak thief got $164,000 worth of jewels from the Kenilworth Hotel less than a year ago. Loot Description Sketchy The FBI said at first that $500,000 worth of jewelry was taken from the eighth floor suite. They later scaled the figure down to $400,000. Greenebaum himself was evasive and said the loot may have been "half” the $500,000 figure. The only description available of the loot was sketchy. The FBI; said that it consisted of about a dozen pieces, mostly diamonds and emeralds. The FBI said at first one piece was worth more than $300,000. The same agent said later no piece was worth more than SIOO,OOO. Authorities said there was no sign of forced entry to the room. Tub Sets Practical Galvanized steel laundry tub sets are available with self-drain outlets that eliminate lifting and carrying tubs around the basement or utility room.
