How much juvenile delinquency stems from the fact that the young people aren’t allowed (by law) to go to work in a lot of places? Time was, when employers had their sweat shops, and worked children as young as ten years old for twelve hours in unsanitary and unhealthy shops. Those conditions are pretty well cleaned up. Granted, ten years old is too young to start to work. But any child of high school age, given the opportunity for decent employment, would be better off working. A job would keep the young people busy and off the streets. It would also tire them out enough that they wouldn’t feel like running around half the night. It would teach them the value of money, even if they only made fifty cents an hour, and we certainly need some people in this day and age that appreciate the value of money. It might also teach them that the fellow that has the brains gets the best deal after school days are over, hus making the return to school in September a little easier to take. It would also reduce the need of hiring summer “baby sitters” for the children of communitis, with tax money. There are a lot of jobs young people can’t do—they aren’t trained for it or they aren’t physically capable of it — and there are places where employment is such that it would be unwise to hire children. But there are many jobs the youngsters could do, but only those who can work for a father or other relative get the chance. For the sake of the kids and the future citizens of our country, it’s about time we gave the Cihld Labor Law a good looking over. » .

WHAT HAS HAPPENED ~ i The preparations of Dean Crockett 11. millionaire explorer, for a party in his penthouse included hiring the Cool & Lam Detective Agency to keep out would-be gate crashers and sneak thieves. He wanted big Bertha Cool as one of the guardians of his door because he believes the gate crasher who got away from a previous party with one of his valuable relics was a woman. Bertha could more readily search suspicious female guests than could a male operative. Crockett's press agent. Melvin Otis Olney, insured that the newspapers would have a story of the precautions against gate crashers. Bertha’s partner. bantam-weight Donald Lam, Is telling the story. . . . CHAPTER 2 qpHE NEWSPAPER'S Inform--1 ant had given Dean Crockett the Second quite a build-up; his travels, his big-game hunting, his adventures, his two previous marriages, his present wife —a sultry combination of eyes, blond hair and curves; the penthouse apartment, the gate crashers who got in on the other party. The story also described Crockett’s loss of various trinkets taken by souvenir hunters, and, in particular, the loss of the carved jade Buddha some three weeks earlier. This party, the story said, was to be guarded by the well-known detective agency of Cool & Lam. Bertha Cool, the senior partner, was going to be on the job personally and woe betide any gate crashers who tried to get in. or anyone who tried to make away with any items from the priceless collection of Dean Crockett the Second. The story detailed that Melvin Otis Olney, Crockett’s public relations man and social secretary, had carefully screened the list of guests. It would be necessary, as always, to show invitations before the elevator would go from the top floor to the penthouse. There would be entertainment by musicians, followed by a showing of the films Crockett had made on his recent trip into the interior of Borneo. The newspaper story was illustrated not only by the photograph of Bertha and our curvaceous file clerk, but by pictures of Crockett holding a pygmy blowgun with poisoned darts, and of his "globe-girdling yacht." It was quite a write-up and spread. I read the paper and asked my secretary, Elsie Brand, "How’s Bertha taking it?" “She’s 'a ham," Elsie said. “She’s eating it up. She left word to have the papers brought to her as soon as they came out. She’s proud as a peacock." “How about the file clerk?" I asked. “She has a date with the photographer tonight.

Hitchcock and Linda Geyer led the pledges, while Ellen Houk took charge of roll call, and Mary Eichenauer collected dues. The group discussed the local judging July 21, at 9 a.m., at the American Legion home, and the practice, July 24, at the Adams Central school, for the dress review July 29, at 7:30 p.m., at the 4-H fair. Monmouth Merry Maids Thirty-nine members of the Monmouth Merry Maids 4-H club spent Wednesday in Fort Wayne, touring Seyfert’s, the Wayne Co-Op Milk Producers, and the Coca-Cola plant. At Seyfert’s, the first stop, they learned about the process of making potato chips, a product that uses up approximately a third of all potatoes grown. Their second forenoon stop was at the Wayne Co-0 p e r a t i v e Milk Producers’ plhnt, where they saw where the milk was received, pasteurized, condensed and dried. They also saw how cheese, butter, and ReddiWhip were made. After lunch and relaxing at Weisser park, the group was welcomed by the hostess at the Coca-Cola plant, which they toured, and where they saw a movie showing the history "Os the soft drink. Six persons provided the transportation: Mrs. Lester Aumann, Mrs. Carl Hurst, Mrs. Wendell Seaman,

out to the party, Dohald?” "Not me,” I said. “It’s Bertha’s show. She made the arrangements: she got the publicity; she can stand there , at the elevator and watch the gals go by.’’ • • • I was just turning out the light about midnight, when the phone rang. I picked up the phone, said, ’’Hello,” and Bertha Cool’s voice came blasting at me like a gust of wind hitting a pile of dry leaves. "Donald,” she screamed, “get over here!” “Where’s here?” I asked. “The penthouse apartment — Dean Crockett the Second.” “What’s the matter ?y “Don’t argue with me!” she screamed. “Get over here.” “Okay," I told her. “I’ll be over.” I dropped the phone into place, got up, dressed and drove over. I was familiar with the setup from what’Bertha had told me and the’ information which had been in the papers. The place was on the twentieth floor of the apartment house. A special elevator had to be taken to reach the penthouse. This elevator ran up and down from the penthouse to a vestibule-like room which opened out from the twentieth floor hallway. When Crockett was giving a party, or on special occasions, this vestibule would be open and there would be an operator at the elevator. Otherwise, the elevator was on automatic. Anyone who wanted to see Crockett had to telephone from the desk. If Crockett wanted to see them, he’d have someone come down in the elevator, open the vestibule door and wait for them on the twentieth floor. If he didn’t want to see them, there was no way on earth they could get up unless they had a key which fitted the door of the vestibule. Once inside the vestibule, a panel would slide back, disclosing a button which could be pressed and which brought the elevator down to the twentieth floor. Also, if a person knew where to look, there was a concealed panel which slid back to disclose a telephone. This telephone had a direct connection with the Crockett apartment The door which opened from the twentieth floor corridor into the vestibule or anteroom looked exactly like the door to an apartment. It bore the number 203. When I got up to the twentieth floor, the vestibule door was open and an attendant was in the elevator. I gave him my card, got Srle Stanley Gardner; distributed by Ki

in the elevator and went up. The door slid back and I was in a reception hallway furnished with Oriental rugs, a crystal chandelier, a line of chairs, commodious closets, the doors of which could be opened so as to form a private hat and coat checking room. There was a girl standing behind this checking counter now who took my hat and coat and gave me the benefit of a forced smile. A door opened and Melvin CRJs Olney came hurrying out. He was wearing a tuxedo and an expression of abject defeat — “Come in, please,” he said. I followed him into a room that was furnished with an eye to comfort but with distinct Oriental overtones. The people in the room were gathered in a tight little group and it seemed as though everyone was trying te talk at once. I recognized the tall man in the center of the group as Dean Crockett the Second. His pictures frequently graced the various weekly illustrated magazines, the sporting and hunting magazines, as well as the social columns. Bertha Cooh seemed glad of an opportunity to get away from the group. She came over and grasped my arm, her fingers digging in as though I’d been a life pre- ’ eervot and she had found herself sinking In a hundred feet of water. “Mi's. Cool,” Crockett called with a voice like the crack of a whiplash. “I’ll be with-you in a minute,” Bertha Cool said. “This is my partner. I want a conference with him.” “Bring him over tyere. I want to meet him—now.” Bertha hesitated, then took me over. 'o i Crockett was a professional heman. He stood six-feet-two, with nat- . orally broad shoulders that had : been accentuated with padding I so as to minimize the waist. He ■ looked like a human triangle. Looking down at me, he pushed i out a bronzed hand. “So you’re I Bertha Cool’s partner." ’He tightened up on his hand . and I could all but feel the bones crunch in mine. “Glad to know you,” I said, i “Well, this is a nice mess,” he > told me.

Ducks Behind Fifth Amendment At Trial TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UPI) — Elliot Price, Brookline, Mass., ducked behind the Fifth Amendment today to avoid telling a federal jury trying eight men on excise tax evasion charges whether he placed bets with an alleged gambling syndicate in 1957. Price became the first witness in the three-week trial to cite the amendment and remain silent. Last summer, Price and dozens of other witnesses called before a federal grand jury at Indianapolis in an investigation of a multimillion dollar gambling syndicate with headquarters at Terre Haute cited the Fifth and refused to answer questions, government attorneys said. Price was asked three questions by District Atty. Don A. Tabbert —whether he placed any bets during the three months the syndicate was alleged to have operated at Terre Haute,; whether he had a telephone in his home during those months, and whether he has .. a~ telephone inMs home—now. Price cited the Fifth on each. Tabbert then handed Pride government exhibits including telephone toll slips and asked- him to read them, which he did. Defense attorney Sidney Glazer then moved for a mistrial on grounds that the government should not ■ have forced Price to read exhibits . after he took the Fifth because : it would be prejudicial testimony. But Judge Cale J. Holder overruled the mistrial motion after ex- ! cusing the jury during argument I of the motion. Earlier, former comedian Zeppo Marx and three wealthy business ; men testified they bet thousands : of dollars. Marx, the one-time “fourth I brother" of the Marx Brothers comedy team, said he wagered • “SIO,OOO — it might have been more” by calling Terre Haute from Las Vegas, Nev., or from his Palm Springs, Calif., home. The testimony forged a major link in the governmeit’s case against eight alleged gamblers charged with evading $325,000 in federal excise taxes on gambling income. More than 20 men who the government said took the fifth amendment before an Indianapolis grand jury last summer were on tap for today’s session in federal court. The grand jury indicted the eight defendants on tax evasion charges. Julius Gaines, a Miami construction executive, Hugh B. Key, a Norman, Okla., oil executive, and John H. Judd, of a Bakersfield, Calif., produce firm, testified they placed bets with the syndicate, which operated here for 10 weeks before it was raided by U. S. treasury agents. The three businessmen each identified one or more of the defendants as their contacts and Marx said he had “met two of the gentlemen—Mr.- Irwin Gordon and Mr. Phillip “Flippy” Share.” The former funny man, who also appeared before the grand jury said he called here “more than once a week during September, October and November” of 1957. He testified he placde the bets with anyone who answered the telephone. The bets ran from SIOO to $2,000, he said.
