Girl Posed As Boy Stays In Colorado GOLDEN, Colo. (UPD —Barbara Ann Malpass, the lamb in wolfs clothing who posed as a boy, fooled police in three states and landed in a men’s jail, today settled down to “a woman’s job.” Barbara Ann, 20, decided to stay in this mountainside town with the family of a deputy sheriff and develop her talents for art. She said she didn’t want to think "about that boy part any more." The Glenmont, N. Y, girl left home last April wearing jeans, a sweater and a ducktail haircut. 1 She wandered through 25 states — as a "he" — and saw the inside of three Jails before her pose as a 16-year-old boy was , .discovered. Barbara Ann. a hazel-eyed brunette, stands 5 feet, 8, inches, , weighs 129 pounds, and measures 35-26-35. Her last and longest jail "term” was 37 days in the Jefferson County jail of Sheriff Art Wermuth, the “one man army of Bataan” during World War 11. She had confessed a house burglary in Golden, but has not been charged with it because Wermuth was not sure she I In fact, until Thursday Wer- ' muth thought his prisoner was Charles Richard Williams, an orphaned runaway from Shoshone, WyoThe sheriff released his prisoner to a new deputy, Sam Teague, whose wife was glad to help "Charlie” straighten out. Barbara Ann’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Malpass, said she could come home or stay with the Teagues — whichever would make her happy. Barbara Ann decided to stay here. Three Children Die In Farm Home Fire BROOKDALE. Fa. fUPD — Three children died Friday night when a space heater exploded flashing flames through the second floor of their rural home. State police said the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Thompson, were entertaining guests downstairs when an oil stove in the children's room overheated and exploded sending flames through the four bedrooms on the second floor of the two- story frame home. The adults made desperate efforts to reach the children but were driven back each time by heavy smoke and fire which raced through the upper part of the house. Police identified the victims as Allen, I*4; Sandra, 2% and Dale. 3%. Firemen said two apparently burned to death and a third suffocated. The Thompson’s fourth child, infant, was downstairs with the parents and guests when the heater exploded. The parents were giving a baby shower for Thompson's sister when the tragedy occurred. Victor McLaglen Dies This Morning NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (UPD —Victor McLaglen, the brawling giant who battled his way through an acting career of more than 30 years in the movies, died today. He was 72. The veteran actor’s son, Andrew a television producer, said death was due to congestive heart failure. “He never had any heart attack,” Andrew said. “It was just a matter of his heart growing old. For the past two months he had been steadily going downhill although he never seemed to have a pain.” Andrew and the widow, Margaret, were at McLaglen’s bedside when death came at 4:30 a.m. The hulking, beetle - browed English-born actor got his start in the movies as a “heavy” but more often than not his roles called for a mixture of comedy and villainy. About 1.7 billion dollars —about one out of every six dollars spent by American families for personal health services—goes for dental ( care. ■ ■ ~ | rot mr'LSfiUL ovtt IM mu •A 00 BOWER JEWELRY STORE Decatur Indiana

Social Security Quiz Answers Many Queries

(Editor’s Note) Do you have any questions about Social Security? We all do, don’t we? Send any ' question you might have to Social 1 Security Quiz, c/o Daily Democrat. 1 You’ll find vour answer in this 1 column, which is published regu- ' larly.) t 1. Q. I am a farm operator. I < hired three men to help harvest a 1 crop. They worked ohly two weeks 1 for me. I paid each of them S2OO : cash for the two weeks. Do I have 1 to report their cash wages and 1 pay social security taxes for this 1 short time work? A. Yes, you must report and pay the taxes because you paid each of the workers as much as $l5O cash wages. It does not matter how long or how little they worked. If the pay to each of them totaled $l5O or more in cash wages for the year, the report is due and the tax must be paid. 2. Q. I was divorced recently and assumed my maiden name. I plan to return to work within the« next few months. How do I get a social security card with my maiden name on it? A. All you need to do is to visit your local social security office. You should always inform them when you change your name. They will issue you a new card right away, if you take your present social security card with you. 3. Q. I have become a silent ■ partner in a real estate firm. Since I do no work at all. may I report my partnership income as self-em-ployment income? A. Yes. Even though you do no work, you must report partnership income from a realty business as self-employment income, providing, of course, your distributive share of the partnership profits is at least S4OO in a year. 4. Q. Mv daughter is getting social security benefits from her deceased father. If her stepfather adopts her, will the social security benefits be stopped? A. No. The adoption of your daughter by her stepfather would not stop the social security oenefits. 5. Q. I employ a part-time maid and pay her $lO a week. She says she does not want social security taxes withheld from her salary. Must I pay my employer's share of the tax, anyway? A. You, as the employer, are responsible for reporting the earnings of your employees and for paying all of the tax. If you do not withhold her share from her salary, you must pay all of the tax yourself, both her share and your share. 6. Q. I am a self-employed farmer, but I have never paid social security taxes because I’ve had a loss every year. What can I do about my social security now?

A. There are special provisions in the social security law which make it easier for the low income farmer to report his earnings. This provision is called the optional method. You may either report your actual net. or an amount equal to two-thirds of your gross, even though you have had a loss. However, under this method, you cannot report more than SI2OO and you cannot report if your gross income for the year was less than S6OO. You may file amended selfemployment returns using this optional method for the years from 1956 on, so that you will receive credit for the past three years. 7. Q. I am a self-employed businessman and my father works for me. May I pay social security taxes on his wages? A. No. Wages paid to a father by a child are excluded by the social security act; nor are wages reported where a spouse works for a spouse or a child under 21 works for a parent.

Churchill, president of the Studebaker-Packard Corp., said the steel strike has led to a gray market in steel with users qow paying some suppliers premium prices. He did not say whether he meant auto firms. But he said his own company has not brought steel in the gray market because it had adequate stockpiles.
