Mrs. Endre Sipos, of 133 Harvester Lane, dropped her billfold in her driveway when Gentis told her she had won the award.; When Gentis explained to the 27-year-old housewife that he was following her through town, she frowned a little and apoeared upset, he said. But when she learned the full details, she beamed quite proudly, ano said, “I will certainly show this to my husband.” String Broken Bonfigilio. 54. of 616 W.

other lane when a driver ahead of them had stopped to back "into parking spaces. Same As Always When asked by Zinsmaster if he knew he was being followed, Bonfiglio said. "I didn't have the faintest idea. I was just driving as I normally do—nothing extraordinary about it.” And after nearly 40 years on the highways, Bonfiglio does quite well at it. Mrs. SipoS, Gentis said, has had about nine years of driving experience, but operated at moderate , rates of speeds, stayed behind the , white-marked cross lanes, waited j until pedestrians crossed, and in- , dicated turns with the proper sig- j nals. He also noted drivers who . drove too fast, went over the crosswalks. and did not indicate turns. , She was very surprised when re- j ceivipg the motor club check. )
No Indictments In , Parker Lynch Case POPLARVILLE. Miss. <UPD - i The Pearl River County grand jury adjourned today without returning indictments in the Mack; Charles Parker lynch case. The lynch case was not mentioned in the jury’s final report to Circuit Judge Sebe Dal?. That means there will be no state action against the killers of Parker, a Negro truck driver who was dragged from his jail cell and shot to death last April 25 while awaiting trial on charges of raping a white woman. The jury, in session since Monday, returned 17 indictments for other crimes but apparently did not call for evidence collected during the month-long FBI investiga- ■ tion. The jury report, submitted to Dale said “Our sole purpose has been to seek justice based on propI erly submitted evidence.” Over 2,500 Daily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur I ach day.
Sen. Russell Blames Ike In Missiles Lag
WASHINGTON (UPD — Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) said today that President Eisenhower must take a major share of blame for the U.S. lag in missile and space development because “he hasn’t had a sense of urgency” about the program. The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said in an interview that "we have to have inspired leadership that will pay some attention to the program and try to push it.” Russell said that money was no problem. He said Congress would vote as much money as the administration asked and the Pentagon also had authority to transfer some funds to missiles from other programs. "We just haven’t given the program the priority it should have had,” the influential senator - declared. Russell said Eisenhower’s decision to transfer the Armv Ballistic Missile Agency at Huntsville. Ala., to civilian control in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was "perhaps the best thing ” However, he said, “I don’t think just juggling agencies around is the answer.” The Georgia senator said he was most concerned over the Soviet Union outdistancing this country in outer space. The “biggest blow is in prestige throughout the world.” he said. The damage to U.S. standing in the eyes of the world through the Russian accomplishments “wipes out <the value of> many billions lof foreign aid,” Russell said I He said smaller and uncommitted nations always have‘reached | the United States as the leader ■in technological developments and “they don’t want to be with a loser.”

ASSERTS Continued from one director for the Hess stores, and Joseph Cates, who was director of the “$64,000 Question” when Hess secretly paid for an advertising plug on the show. Hess testified Wednesday night that he paid to appear on the television shows of Kate Smith and mind-reader Dunninger. He said he paid SIO,OOO to get one of his employes on the “$64,000 Ques-. tion” as a contestant to gain pub- j licity for the store. Hess said he paid SI,OOO each to Bob Considine, columnist for ‘ King Features Syndicate, and Jack O’Brian, TV columnist for; the New York Journal-American. I But he said the payments were for personal appearances. He did i not say the payments were for i plugs in their columns. In New York, Considine said: ' “Several years ago I made a per- j sonal appearance at the Max Hess store in Allentown. It was an p-; perance such as I have made in many other citeis. It had nothing to do with plugs.” O’Brian Denies “Plugs” O’Brian, in a statement issued by the Journal-American, said he had appeared on a Philadelphia TV show sponsored by Hess He; said. “It was a public appearance; and there was nothing secret about it. I was paid for my appearance as I've been on several other TV shows. There were no plugs in my column and my column will show that.” Dunninger denied that he had “received, been offered nor requested a single dime or dollar from anyone who has appeared on my show.” He said the producers selected his guests in “99 per cent of the cases.” But he said he was not accusing anyone connected with his shows of accepting pay-, ments to feature guests. The businessman said he made so many payments for advertising plugs that he couldn’t remember them all. “This is a common practice — paying to get plugs,” he stated.
