Youth Admits To Strangling Brownis Scout NEW YORK (UPU-A youthful unemployed handyman confessed early today he strangled and sexually molested a 7-year-old Biownie Scout in a Queens church and threw her body into the furnace, police said. John Ebbs, 18, of Brooklyn was charged with first degree murder for killing Janet Young, a pretty blonde child whose body was found Monday night burned almost beyond recognition in the furnace of the Bethany Evangelical United Bretheran Chuch in the Richmond Hill section of Queens. Richmond Hills is one of the nicest neighborhoods in the city. Detectives said the white youth, who had no previous record. confessed strangling the girl with the belt of her school uniform, attempting to rape her and then throwing her unconscious body into the furnace. He said he did not know whether she was dead before he bound her hands and feet and threw her into the fire. Pending an autopsy, authorities listed the cause of death as apparent strangling. The victim, who was known to neighbors as a pretty child with an "angelic face," was escorted to the church where the Brownie meeting was scheduled by her mother. Police said Ebbs unlocked the church door for Janet, allowed her to enter and then attacked her before she could reach the meeting room. The girl’s mother. Mrs. Jame? B. Young, returned to the qhuach when the Brownie meeting was scheduled to end but found the building empty. She telephoned the Brownie loader. M-s. Thelma Lebrlght, who said Janet never arrived at toe meeting, The distraught mother then called police. A team of police searched the neighborhood and the church for more than an hour before finding the frail child's body in the furnace. The Youngs have two other children. Claudie, 10, and James Jr., 2. The- father is an advertising man. After confessing the slaying, Ebb*’« enly explanation was that he had an "urge" to have sexual relations with, the child, police said.

HOOVER (Continued from Page Ote) services to Democratic President Woodrow Wilson in World War I when he headed up relief services in Europe and distributed wver $5 billion worth of food between 1914 and 1923. He headed the European food program again in 1947 for President Truman and headed two federal commissions for the reorganization of the executive branch under Truman and Eisenhower. The economies recommended by the Hoover commissions saved the American •people an estimated $4 billion. Hoover made his last official public anpearance in 1962 on his 88th birthday at the dedication of the $560,000 Herbert Hoover Library in his hometown, West Branch, lowa. He addressed 45,000 people on hand and the nation “as the shadows gather around me." In that address, the former P e ident harked back to his boyhood, when orphaned by the death of his parents, he left West Branch at the age of 10 to go to Oregon to be reared by an uncle, a country doctor. "The only material assets I had were two dimes in my pocket, the suit of clothes I wore, and I had some extra underpinnings provided by loving aunts,” he recalled of his departure. He was reared in the quiet faith of the Quaker meeting and the necessity of being frugal. After completing school in the west, he cut short -a budding beginning in business to accept the advice of an engineer and enter the then new Stanford University to study engineering. He was graduated in Stanford’s first class in 1895. It was at the university that he met Lou Henry, a geology student, whom he married in 1899, after already establishing himself as a mining engineer in the gold fields of the West and then in Australia. By the time he was 24, Hoover was earning $20,000-a-year managing mining interests in China. His fame and fortune grew rapidly as he first became a partner in a giant British concern and later headed his own engineering firm.

World War I thrust him into public service and virtually ended his engineering career. First* came work repatriating 160,000 Americans caught in Europe by the war, and then heading up the commission for relief in Belgium. His host of U.S. government posts included U.S. food administrator and director - -general of the American relief administration. His humanitarian work in administering relief after the war was hailed throughout the world. Then came cabinet rank, serving as secretary of commerce fiom 1921 to 1928 under Harding and Coolidge and finally, in 1928, the presidency—the 31st. in the nation’s history—by virtue of his election victory over Al Smith. The Wall St. crash, the depression and the resurgence of the Democrats—who heaped the blame for the economic bust on Hoover — combined to sweep Hower from the White House and Franklin D. Roosevelt into It In 1933. Hoover, embittered at Roosevelt. did not visit the White House again until after FDR's death in 1945, then’ at President Harry S. Truman’s invitation. The voice Hoover raided against growing federal powers was heeded by few during the 19305. After World War 11, he returned to public |ife. undertaking a round-the-world survey for Truman on post-war food needs. Twice he was called upon to head up commissions on the organization of the executive branch of the government, in 1947-49 and 1953-55. About 60 per cent of the commission’s recommendations on streamlining the government were adopted. Hoover was a prominent figure at both of Dwight D. Eisenhower's inaugurations to the presidency. . At the Republican convention in Chicago in 1960, Hoover bid his official farewell to the party, answered by a loud chorus of "noes" from the delegates. ”Unle e s some miracle comes to me from the Good Lord, this is it,” he said. After the death of his wife in 1944, Hoover spent less and less time at their Palo Alto, Calif., home, preferring to live and wo- k at his New York apartment. Son Herbert Jr. is a consulting engineer who lives in San Marino, Calif. Allan lives in Greenwich, Conn. He is a businessman.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Branigin For Economy In Campaigning INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)-Den| ocratic gubernatorial nominee -.er Bramgin is not only in favor of economy in government, he favors economy in campaigning for officeAt a news conference here Monday, Branigin outlined his ideas, for economizing in state ’ government by cutting the payroll but did not estimate how many jobs could be eliminated and did not specify the departments which could be cut. On the subject of campaign economy, Branigin said he thought the start of the election campaign in the state should be delayed by several months to cut down on the expense to candidates. * "It’s a shame that running for office should be limited to the rich,” Branigin said. He also caued attention to a French law which provides for the government to pay campaign expenses of candidates. He told newsmen that there appeared to be little sentiment among the voters for real government economy. "In all my campaigning, L have never had a single person who urged an economy program,” he said. "There seems to be no lobby for old-fashioned economy—the type that former Gov. Henry Schricker demanded —namely frugality, common sense and prudent wisdom.” Branigin said, "I share the political philosophy of President Johnson. I believe you can be a liberal without being a wastrel. Motion doesn’t always mean progress. "President Johnson cut the defense budget by $2 billion. In Indiana, we can prune expenditures by the elimination of bodies—a number of state employes,” he saia. He said elimination of some workers would also make it possible to pay higher salaries to the "badly underpaid" workers in some state departments, Branigin said the duty of the 1965 General Assembly would be to “unsnarl the tax mess hung on us by the last session of the legislature.” He called for relief for property taxpayers, elimination of the household goods tax and possibly the enactment of a graduated net income tax if the sales tax is repealed. "We must approach the tax situation from a fresh standpoint," he said. Branigin said he did not think either the sp-called “white backlash" of the Walter Jenkins ca e would have any serious effect on the election in Indiana.

To Dedicate Monroe Reservoir Saturday BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPD— Monroe Reservoir, a huge flood control project which will form Indiana’s largest body of water, will be dedicated Saturday at ceremonies featuring an addre s by Governor Welsh. Program planners anticipated a crowd of 2,500 would gather at the giant dam and spillway on hour before noon for a ceremony officially signalling the opening of the 18,000-acre lake. The sl4 million project has not been completed. Impoundment of water probably will not start until early December. But the dam and spillway are complete, the lake bottom has been cleared, and most public access points either have been finished or are under construction. The Army CUrps of Engineers anticipates that with normal winter and spring rainfall, the lake will be at its summer pool level of 10,800 acres by next May. Lake Monroe will be Indiana’s largest body of water and one of the biggest in the Midwest. It is located in southeastern Monroe County and southwestern Brown County. The State Conservation Department, which will lease the (ake for operation of its water and shoreline, has launched an ambitious five-year program to complete two major state park areas and other public access points around the 85-mile shoreline. Besides the governor. Sens. Vance Hartke and Birch Bayh also will speak. So will Reps. William G. Bray and Earl Wilson of the 7th and 9th Districts in which the reservoir is located. Brig. Gen. Walter P. Leber, division engineer of the Corps of Engineers at Cincinnati, also will speak. Daniel G. Bynum, Bloomington, president of Southern Indiana, Inc., sponsor of the program will welcome the guests and Bruce B. Temple, Bloomington, chairman of the Governor's Commission on Monroe Reservoir Community Development, wilt be master of ceremonies. Five Are Apprehended In Vandalism Cases A 16-year-old Adams county youth has been referred to juvenile authorities in connection with vandalism at the Bobo and four other youths hvae been apprehended in connection with other casei? of vandalism. The 16-year-old will be referred to the juvenile court for breaking out four or five windows in the old Bobo school Friday night of last Week. The building is now owned by Walter Koos. The other four youths, ranging in age from 16 to 17, were picked up by the sheriff’s department in connection with a tomato-tossing incident at some persons on a hayride. and at an Amish family riding in a buggy.

Negotiations Speeded Up To End GM Strike DETROIT (UPD — The United Auto Workers union and General Motors Corp., spurred by a statement of White House concern, worked today to speed local negotiations and end a 26day strike by more than a quarter-million workers. President Johnson made his first statement of concern on the prolonged strike. Monday. He said failure to settle it “will jeopardize the continuous upward thrust of our economy.” He urged company and union officers to wprk together to end the strike. Johnson's statement brought an immediate reply from both GM and the UAW. GM Vice President Louis G. Seaton issued a statement which said "local plant managements are working day and night and they will continue to be willing to negotiate as many hours as necessary to reach local agreements.” UAW Vice President Leonard Woodcock said: “We are urging our local union committees to meet day and night at the un-. settled plants to bring it (the strike) to a speedy resolution to ease the burden of the families so our members and the economy of the country.” Jobless Pay Claims Decreased In Area* Unemployment dropped to a mere 28 unemployed claiming compensation this past week, with six new claims and 22 continued claims, Richard P. Appp, manager, announced today. A year ago, the Indiana employment security division repo ted 44 unemployed; in 1962, it was 52, and in 1961, it was 140. No figures are available for 1960,’ but it was well over 250 a week at the end of 1960. With about 50% of Adams county’s work force of 9,200 covered by unemployment compensation, it indicates that less than one-half per cent are actually unemployed here at this time.

A jury in U.S. District Court took only one hour and 47 minutes Monday to find the 72-vear-old jurist guilty of evading more than $13,000 in income taxes from 1957 to 1961. Judge Roy Harper of St. Louis, who heard the 11-day trial on special assignment from the U.S. Supreme Court, set sentencing for Nov. 13, the same day as the hearing on the new trial motion. Welch remained free on a signature bond. The conviction of Welch was the second chapter in a widening scandal involving the state Supreme Court. Supernumerary Judge Nelson S.

Fire Marshal Cites More School Gyms INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana state fire marshal’s office today cited five more high school gymnasiums, including Anderson and Muncie, as overcrowded and recommended reduced seating. The most drastic reduction among the five was at Muncie, where seating should be cut from 7,400 to 4,113, according to chief inspector William C. Workman. The recommendation at Anderson was for a reduction from 9,213 to 7,963—unless additional exits are provided. The reduction at Huntington was fixed from 4,050 to 3,272: at Kentland from 2,477 to 2,272, and at Knox from 3,400 to 3,109. Revised figures were also announced by the state fire marshal’s office for Marion. The new reduction is from 6,539 seats to 5,236. Previously, seating capacity was fixed at 4,710 Unless more exits are installed. Indications were that the state-wide inspection survey will be concluded late this week. Officials said some schools have already made plans to comply with the recommendation which are based on the building code providing for 22 inches of exit space per 100 seats. Others were still studying what to do and some appeals were indicated. State Fire Marshal Ira Anderson pointed out a special board to hear appeals was set up last July by Governor Welsh. “If anybody disagrees with the state fire marshal’s findings, they can go to this board,” Anderson said. The bi-partisan board consists of six members. Governor And Wife Will Host Teachers Governor and Mrs. Matthew E. Welsh will honor Indiana’s school teachers with an open house at the executive mansion during the Indiana State Teachers association convention this week. The informal event is scheduled for 3:30-5:30 p.m. Friday, at the governor’s residence, 4343 North Meridian street, Indianapolis.
