Decnit to DeWitt The world’s most printed picture has been returned quietly to history books. The small blue engraving of DeWitt Clinton that appeared on the packages of cigarettes carried by about 65,000,000 Americans is no longer necessary. The government no longer requires tobacco manufacturers to prepay their taxes by buying the stamps. After almost 500 billion printings and securing for the government more than $29 billion, Mr. Clinton can return to his proper place in history. From the expression on his face, he was never too happy about the whole affair, anyway. • • • • A Job Well Done July 4, 1959, marked several anniversaries. It was another year in the wonderful history of the United States of America. It marked the formal birthdate of a brand-new American flag, one that is destined to be short-lived. It also marked the 9th birthday of Radio Free Europe. This radio service into Communist countries behind the iron curtain teams with the government controlled Voice of America to beam truth into other-wise isolated Europe. Free Europeans, particularly those who have recently escaped Communist domination, broadcast back to their friends, telling them of the true, undistorted facts. It also features a schedule of. entertainment and music. While the number of radios receiving RFE is not as high as we wish it could be, the service still reaches millions of supressed people. Those who don’t hear the news first-hand still have access to the greatest news system of all—word of mouth, from those who do hear it. ♦ • • • Leaflets Three, Let It Be A three-leafed weed called toxicodendron by botanists, pojson ivy by some, and unprintable vindicatives by most, pauses more vacation - time miseries than most other allergic ills combined. The skin disease is actually a form of allergy—it’s just a form that most people are susceptible to. Poison ivy is found in every section of the United States. It grows in the form of clinging vines, trailing shrubs and upright shrubs, and can usually be found just where you’ve set down the picnic basket, close to lost golf balls, and on the bank of the stream where you’ve just caught a three pound trout. Swimming, sweating, scratching and almost breathing seems to cauge it to spread. The best preventative is to stay away from it. If not, put on several types of medication and outwait it. The best way for small children to catch poison ivy is for them to be told where it is, and to be sure and stay away from it. For the sake of your vacation, hope you don’t come into contact with it. If you or your family are easily stricken, there are new drugs and preventatives on the market. Check with your doctor and druggist before you leave.

> ———o 20 Years Ago Today O July 6, 1939—The nation's death toll over the long Fourth of July holiday surpassed the 700 mark, with nearly 300 of the deaths in traffic accidents. Several thousand dollars in damages were caused by a fire which destroyed a large barn and contents on the John Gould farm near Monroe. Thousands of persons jammed the Hanna-Nuttman park area the night of July 4 to witness the spectacular fireworks display staged by Adams Post 43, American Legion. The city council, after studying a petition to establish daylight saving time here during the summer, recommended a city-wide referendum be held in 1940. O' ° Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE o —— o Slip Covers Gingham slip covers for the furniture during the summer months are less expensive than linen and are more easily washed and ironed. When purchasing the material, the color of the wall paper should be taken into consideration. Ironing Hint Iron the button part of a garment face down on a Turkish towel and the spaces between the buttons will be nice and smooth. Straw Hats The top of an old discarded straw hat will make an ideal table mat for hot dishes. Bind the edge with some attractive material. O ' - o Modern Etiquette I i By ROBERTA LEE I o o » Q. When a woman is visiting a friend for the evening, should she take her purse into the living room with her, or should she leave it in the bedroom with her coat? A. If she has anything, such as cigarettes, in her bag that she may want in the living room, she should take the bag with her. Q. Is it proper to ask the guest-of-honor at our dinner table to say grace before the meal? A. Only if your guest is a clergyman. Otherwise, grace should be spoken by the host, or, in his absence, by the hostess. Q. I have been invited to the home of a friend, whose wife is a doctor. Do I address her as Mrs. Thomas or as Doctor Thomas? A. You address her as Doctor Thomas.

—CHAPTER 34 "FIRST," said Ralph Harlingen, i addressing the assembled group, *Td like to establish the identity of one Charles Pirozy, whose name is in these records I hold here. But because the records are confidential, 1 will waive showing them publicly and ask Mr. Wykoff to identify the party in question. Would you do that, Mr. Wykoff ?" “Sure," said George Wykoff. "He was my accountant A very high-class person, believe me.” His fingers twitched for the binder, and Harlingen handed it to him.

“There’s a copy of this, too," Wykoff said. “A film, it should be. Where la it?" Harlingen looked apologetic. *Tm afraid it’s in the bottom of this bag," he said blandly, “but I’m sure we’ll find it when we get everything else cleared up." Wykoff looked daggers at Murray Kirk, but Harlingen gave him no time to enter a demurrer. “And now that we know who Charles Pirozy is," he said quickly, “let’s hear some statements about him from an interested party.*.. He pressed the switch on the tape recorder. There was a faint humming, and then Eddie Schrade’s voice emerged loud and panicky. "George," ft said, "you got to he reasonable. Tou hear me, George? This is Eddie Schrade, and you got to listen. It was Pirozy and Ira worked that swindle on you I swear it was. I didn’t want any part of it. I even said to Ira—" “Shut that off!” It was Ira Miller, now without the aplomb. He was on his feet shouting, his face twisted with fury. “Where do you come off to try a trick like this? .Who do you think you—!" And it was George Wykoff who restored order with a small gesture. He snapped his fingers as one would to bring a dog to attention. “Shut up, you," he said. “But, George, do you mean you’d listen to that? It’s not even Eddie! I know Eddie’s voice, and I tell you—" "I said to shut up. It’s Eddie, and he’s talking to me. Me personally, y*understand ? Shut up so 1 can hear what he says." “It worked like this, George," said Eddie Schrade’s voice put of the silence that followed: "Pirozy said Ira stood in good with you so they could make it look like a losing book and get away with a lot of dough. Especially if Pirozy covered up for Ire.

really getting. Then Pirozy really got his hooks in Ire, because Ira dropped such a pile on an investment in a Broadway show—" Harlingen switched the recorder off. “The show referred to,” he said to LoScalzo, “was a play called Time Out of Band, which had a run of four performances three years ago. Here is a copy of the WaU Street Journal showing the Incorporation of the play company, and the amount invested by Ire Miller, the largest shareholder. It amounted to $52,000, all of which he lost. He was then in serious financial difficulties." He turned on the machine again. “ —he would do anything to make it back. So they took you for more and more, George, but I never got a dime from it. I swear, not a dime. Not even chicken feed. Tou got to believe that, George. You know I’m a smalltimer. What would I have to do with such big money? “And then when Ira got scared and wanted to back out, Pirozy wouldn’t let him. He said he would tell you about it, and you would kill Ira, but that he would get off, because he knew how to get around you. He would say to Ira, T need a hundred* or 'I need a couple of hundred,* it didn't matter how much, and Ira always had to shell out, and then make it look like a pay-off to the cops." Murray Kick’s voice cut to. "How about Lundeen?’* his voice asked. "What happened to him that day, Eddie?" "Ah, he never got a nickel from Ire, the dumb cop. It was a real arrest, strictly on the level, only Ire marked down he paid a thousand dollars to Lundeen, so he and Pirozy could split the money. Pirozy wanted the arrest, because he had to show George cm the books how many cops in the district were collecting big graft, and how much ice it cost to keep operating. Only Ira didn’t want to take the arrest himself, because he had too many already—you know, arrests on his record—so he paid me a couple of bucks to go out and take some bets and be the pigeon for him. He said if I wouldn’t do it he’d get somebody else to run Songster for him, so what could I do?" “But what about Lundeen ? Why was he the one to be framed?" Schrade’s voice was a fine mixture of surprise and sarcasm. “Why him? Because he was the one who came along that side of the street right then! Why else?" Harlingen shut oft the machine with finality, and Felix LoScalzo lurched forward in his chair. ’That's interesting, counselor,” LoScalzo said, "hot it happens to

be the unsubstantiated statement of one man. What about this Pirozy? Can you produce him?” “No,” said Harlingen, "I can’t? “Why not?” Wykoff had been staring at Miller like a man watching a monster take form before him. He turned the same expression on Harlingen now. "Sure you can’t you four-flusher,• he said coldly. “Plrozy was killed in an auto accident a month ago. So how about that?” “Plenty,” said Harlingen. “Because even after the grand-jury investigation closed down your shop, Plrozy kept his hooks in Miller. He still blackmailed him regularly, and still threatened exposure to you if he failed to pay on demand. And what ended that was Pirozy’s death—not by an accident but by murder." “Murder?” echoed Wykoff dazedly. "That’s a terrible thing to say. It was an accident I tell you. I know an about it” “You do?” said Harlingen, “Then I’ve got news for you. On Thanksgiving night here in the city, Charles Plrozy was deliberately run down and killed by a car which was today impounded by the New York State Police.’’ He reached into the briefcase. "Here is the original police report on the accident so called, and here Is the memorandum of a phone conversation I had with Lieutenant Baker of the State Police confirming his action. This was not another hit-run accident. Not when the car—the murder weapon, in fact—has been identified as the property of Ira Miller.’’ They looked at Miller then, LoScalzo and Wykoff did, but Miller did not reel and fall and grovel. By some magic, Murray saw, he had been restored to himself. He was once again the self-pos-sessed Miller of yore. “That accident happened Thanksgiving night?" he demanded of Harlingen. “Yes." "Then what’s this all about?” Miller said hotly. “That whole night I was up at the Acres, and I didn’t get back to the city until eight the next morning after I got a can that my wife was in bad shape. The man who gave me a lift back to town will tell you that. A thousand guests up at the Acres win ten you that So why drag me Into this? Why smear me with a charge that won’t hold up for a minute!” Ira Miller may have tossed a bombshell, bet someone else is holding a bigger and better one. “The Eighth Circle” moves rapidly to a conclusion here tomorrow, ,
