18-year-old brother, Wayne, and the family's landlord, W. G. Thompson. Several San Antonio policemen at the exclusive residential area death scene expressed amazement about the younger boy’s attitude toward the double slaying. “He’s the most cold blooded kid I ever saw,” one officer said. Phillip showed no emotion and calmly referred to his parents as “Mommy and Daddy” as he told officers of the killing Aug. 28. When he was arrested two hours after the bodies were discovered, the boy readily admitted to police that he shot them both because "they had been nagging me.”

British Parliament Formally Dissolved LONDON (UPI) — The opposition Labor Party said today it will renationalize the steel and highway transportation industries if it wins a majority in the coming parliamentary election. The Laborite platform said “we have no other plans for further nationalization” outside these two industries, but left itself a loophole for use if experience showed further action was necessary. “Where an industry is shown, after thorough inquiry, to be failing the nation, we reserve the right to take all or any part of it into public ownership if this is necessary," the platform said. The Laborites, who came to power in 1945, nationalized the steel and trucking industries in Britain, but they were returned to private enterprise by Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s first postwar government. Now the Laborites are seeking to nationalize them again. Publication of the Laborite platform coincided with Queen Elizabeth's formal dissolution of the outgoing parliament and the formal opening Os the campaign. The Queen returned from her Scottish castle at Balmoral to preside at a meeting of the Privy Council and issue a proclamation ending the 4Vi-year life of the present Legislature. The proclamation was read in the Houses of Lords and Commons by the Lord Chamberlain. The Queen herself did not appear in either house. The Chamberlain also sent county officials the notifications that an election is scheduled Oct. 8 which formally marked the opening of the campaign. Party organizations, which have been hard at work since the coming election was announced by i Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, were ready to prime their candidates with pamphlets and prefabricated speeches. The winners will assemble here Oct. 20 for the swearing-in of the new Parliament.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATOR, INDIANA

. Jt*'i * <’ w -’ Alcoholism Clinic Head Gives Views By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Many a man will tell his bartender that his wife drove him to drink, but the cold facts are that an alcoholic who still has a family is more likely to respond to treatment than one who hasn’t. That is the conclusion of Dr. Fred E. Lawrence, director of the Central Indiana Alcoholism Clinic, based not only on his own observations at the statMponsored clinic but also on two research projects conducted by Indiana University graduate students at the clinic. Lawrence and his staff have found, in general, that the more ties a man has, the better his chances for rehabilitation. “The patient who still has a family or a job usually is a better treatment risk,” is the way they put it. The clinic was opened in July, 1957, in accordance with legislative action which tapped liquor taxes for funds to rehabilitate “the person troubled by his consumption of alcoholic beverages.” First in Indiana The clinic is the only one in the state providing out-patient service. Lawrence and the staff sees about 400 new cases a year, but they interview and sometimes give psychiatric or social service help to about 3,000 relatives of alcoholics annually. Some patients come to the Indianapolis-located clinic from as far away as and Vanderburgh Countes. “I have come to the* conclusion that where you have an alcoholic a sick individual you have a sick a sick individual, ou have a sick family,” Lawrence said. He attributed this to the perodc nature of the illness, and the fact alcoholism is chronic and affecst all faces of a patient’s life. I “For most alcoholics and their families, life is an up-and-down situation with periods of despair and hope There is enough sobrijet to keep the family hoping,” said Lawrence. Relatives Often Inquire Alcoholics are slow to seek treatment. “An interested relative often is the first to come to the clinic,” Lawrence explained. “Someimes it will be a year after we see the wife or the mother before th#'alcoholic himself comes in. We see everyone who comes in. There is not a great deal that can be done for the alcoholic unless he does seek treatment. But some relatives ate suffering from what’s happening to them, and they need "‘Kut 45 per cent of the akSP holies who came to the clinic last I year required hospitalization but the remaining 55 per cent were "out-patients" who were able to benefit from periodic treatment at the clinic One of the two I.U. search projects compared these two groups and found differences. "Hospitalized patients more frequently than out-patients are sep- * arated from their families and relatives and are living in rooming houses or inexpensive hotels, the researchers said. “Out - patients tend to have fewer remanlage* than do hospitalized patients... 18 per cent of out-patients had held their jobs 10 years or more (compared) with 3 per cent of the hospitalized patients.” Thomas Davenport, a blacksmith from Brandon, Vt., made what is believed to be the world’s first electric motor in 1834 by winding the magnet with silk from his wife’s wedding dress.

Speculate Zhukov To Be Appointed PARIS (UPI) — The rightwing newspaper Aurore speculated today that Premier Nikita Khrushchev may appoint Russia’s deposed Defense Minister Georgi Zhukov to a top diplomatic post in the United States. "Has Khrushchev decided to make a theatrical guespire before the end of his trip to America?” the newspaper asked. "Nothing seems impossible from a man who enjoys creating a sensation and loves publicity. "According to information we give here with Ahe- greatest reservations, since it is obviously impossible to verify, the master of the Kremlin may have decided to appoint Marshal Zhukov very soon as ambassador to Washington or as Russia’s representative to the United Nation in New York.” j The newspaper said Zhukov is a "likeable.. .man with whom the chief of the West (President Eisenhower) could reach an understanding.” Aurore recalled that Eisenhower and Zhukov — both then holding active army commands—were on good terms in Berlin in 1945, and corresponded for a time after returning to their respective homelands. The newspaper quoted Eisenhower as saying that Zhukov's dismissal from the Soviet cabinet “increased the break between East and West.” the Soviet premier dismissed Zhukov from the cabinet in 1957, after sharply criticizing his judgment, and little or nothing has been heard of the deposed minister since that time. .....

Continue Debate On Buller Leadership WASHINGTON (UPI) — The North-South debate over Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler’s leadership continued today among Democratic state chairmen meeting here. Minnesota State Chairman Ray Hemenway, who is pushing the presidential stock of Sen. Hubert' H. Humphrey (D-Minn.), declared his “wholehearted support" of Butler. J „ His endorsement echoed a plug for Butler voiced by Humphrey in an address to the state chairmen and vice chairmen, who are holding three daVs of conferences on 1960 campaigns and techniques. Humphrey said Butler is offering the "only rational and logical road to victory.” He urged that their party come up with a strong liberal platform and liberal candidate for the White House next ear. But a leading southern spokesman, Georgia State Chairman John Sammons Bell, said the South and other parts of the country are "beginning to get a little fed up” with what he called Butler’s efforts “to make the South a whipping boy." Bell took particular issue with Butler’s leadership in getting the national committee Wednesday to re-adopt the 1956 convention “good faith’” rule aimed at keeping rebellious southern state organizations in line for the Democratic nominees in 1960. "To create an issue merely to offend a loyal segment of the party is ridiculous,” Bell said. * He said southern states who were loyal to the ticket in the past resent the implications of the 1956 rule. Bell conceded that some southern states already have moved to make it possible for their 1960 i presidential electors to avoid sup- ' porting tine chosen presidential nominee but said "there is still a question of whether it would be used.” ~ Rocket-Power X-15 Passes First Test

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (UPI) — The rocket-pow-ered X-15 has passed its first powered flight with flying colors. Next major step: Taking man 10 miles up to the fringes of space at speeds of more than 4,000 miles an hour. The slfeek 5-foot craft proved beyond expectation Thursday that ftishn airworthy half rocketshiphalf airplane that can streak through the thin upper atmosphere under its own power. North American Aviation test pilot Scott Crossfield showed that the powerful craft will respond to 'the commands of its pilot, j Crossfield expertly guided the ' stubby-winged X-15 over a 1mile course above the Mojave Desert for 11 minutes before bringing it down on Rogers Dry Lake at 200 miles an hour. Any i lesser speed might cause the craft to. drop like a stone because of its abbreviated wings designed for the thin ionosphere. “Everything worked perfectly,” announced Crossfield. The Air Force said the actual powered flight lasted only * four minutes, two minutes less than expected. The shortened powered - flight time was explained as being the result of the craft’s superior performance. The fuel burned faster, the craft went higher and faster than Two Arrested Here Thursday Morning City police arrested two local men on charges of public intoxication and disorderly conduct Thursday at 12:20 a.m. on 135 S.
