President Continues Strike Conferences
By UNITED PRESS President Truman today resumed conferences with top government, industry and labor leaders in an effort to settle the two-week old steel strike, key dispute in the nation’s industrial crisis, He conferred today with Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach, Philip Murray, head of the Congress of Industrial Organizations and the C. I. O. Steelworkers, and John R. Steelman, White House la bor expert. The meeting followed .a series of talks by Mr. Truman with his top ‘domestic advisers Saturday. Both Mr, Schwellenbach and Mr. Murray were jovial after the 30minute conference, but had no direct comment on the discussion with Mr. Truman. Always ‘Optimistic’

Some followers get so steeped in the hocus-pocus and so impressed with its power that they make purchase after purchase to straighten up their personal affairs. Neither do the mediums stop with unscrupulous toying with peoples’ money and minds. They throw respect for. the dead overboard and hook some of their victims for heavy fees to finance “graveyard seances,” another black arts favorite. The “graveyard seance” usually is resorted to only to put a party out of the way,” a polite expression for doing them in. The expense and the dangers are great, thus it's usually kept as a last resort. » 8 = 2 =» = THE CUSTOMER who'd like someone “removed from body” usually has to make four or five calls to the medium—at $2 a throw— to esablish confidence and vibrations. Then, for anywhere from $10 to $50, the medium arranges a “graveyard seance.” The medium, the customer and a couple of the medium’s stooges go to a deserted cemetery and pick a grave of the person of the opposite sex of the guy who's presumably being done in. The usual procedure is for the medium to babble while removing dirt from the headstone of the grave. The dirt is given to the sucker, who's instructed to keep it under a pillow or somewhere nearby for a given length of time. During this time any of a variety of rituals are to be gone through.
® = = yy = = HE SUCKER is caught, the medium has the money, and the customer is stuck with the dirt. The medium always uses as an out that the customer didn't think the right thoughts or some other equally nebulous accusation. What's more, some of the mediums demand “statements of obligations” before entering any seance. Having signed their names to a contract asking that someone be put out of the way is usually sufficient reason for not taking the fraud.to the police. The whole picture of black arts working sounds medieval, even improbable, but the revenue it affords in Indianapolis weekly ranges into the higher income brackets.
» ” » » ” ” WHAT MAKES it even better is that it's not covered by the excess profits tax. The little tips you can pick up out of a black arts manual or from a medium are wonderful. If they work out as proniised, you're Worried over an unwelcome suitor or a nosey in-law hanging around? A little salt and pepper will cure it all. You simply put a little salt in the unwelcome one’s hair or on his shoulders. Then, when he leaves the room or house you pour both salt and pepper in his footsteps #nd.then sweep it all out the door. The salted one won't ever come back.

Some places, however, would suggest greasing your eyes with the blood of a bat as being more effective. Practically~none of them will offer to sell you a flashlight though—battery shortage. All in allg-you can do almost anything if you have $5 and the address of a black arts practitioner. The situation ceases to be funny, however, when the shoddy commercialism invades the church, preys on the minds of the troubled and steps in to break up homes or sow the thought of murder in
vengeful hearts. TOMORROW-People who are “hexed.”

In his statement, McCarthy said he carried his wife home and later became apprehensive about Rees’ condition. He said he returned to the intersection, saw Rees sprawled motionless on the pavement, and {hurried back to his apartment. “1 called police, but when they answered I got cold feet and hung up,” McCarthy asserted. He then phoned a friend, informed him of the fight, and asked him if he would {call the police. The friend, who lives 'nearby, told McCarthy to call them himself. Finally McCarthy called headquarters, without revealing his identity. Another neighbor phoned also, giving ‘police McCarthy's telephone number. . McCarthy, traced through the phone number, confessed immediately, Evening of Revelry The fight climaxed an evening of revelry, according to a detailed statememt by ‘McCarthy's wife. _.Bhe said she and her husband had quarreled at the Dells cafe, 2120 E. 42d st, . She left the cafe, walking about a mile to the Willow Brook golf club, 4701 N. Keystone ave. There, she said, she entered by breaking glass from a door pane. Later, Everett West, the nightwatchman, arrived, and Mrs. McCarthy persuaded him to summon Rees. West said he contacted Rees by phone in a tavern. Taken Home by Rees Following another round of drinks at the golf club with friends Mrs. McCarthy said, Rees drove her home. She said they stopped a block from the McCarthy apartment and he tried to embrace her as they left the car. It was then, she said, that her husband approached.
