Sheriff ‘Relieved’ To End Affair
sy ROBERT BLOEM
Times Staff Wi GREENFIELD, } Mar. 30— Howard Pollard, 25, of Indianapolis, waited in the state reformatory today for a one-way ride to the state prison at Michigan City. He was convicted here yesterday by a Hancock Circuit Court of 11 men and one woman for the “hands and foot” slaying of Leland -Miller the night of Apr. 10, 1946. After only four hours of deliberation the jury found the youthful Indianapolis railroader gufity of first degree murder and sentenced him to life imprisonment. Ends Homey Jail Stay The verdict ended Pollard’s homey stay of more than a year in the Hancock County jail. Sheriff Jack Rubush, who has undergone much criticism for the relative comfort in which Pollard lived while at the jail," obtained Judge John B. Hinchman’s permission to hustle him right off to the state reformatory for “safekeeping.” The sheriff said he was “much relieved” to end the Pollard affair. . After the judge took the verdict from Mrs. Alma Sharrett and read it aloud yesterday, the filled courtroom became silent. For many minutes the only
sound was the sobbing of Mrs.|-
Daisy Pollard, mother of the defendant. Throughout the trial he had maintained confidenez . that he would be acquitted.
Homer Pollard, the defendant's father, who has kept him out of trouble through 18 previous trips to court, said: “We've only started.” The. defendant then mumbled: “Yeah, we'll appeal the case.” Chief Defense Counsel Frank Symmes said he would file for a new trial within the 30-day period allowed. The jury required 10. ballots to reach the verdict. On the first two ballots, they were divided 10 for first-degree murder and two for second-degree murder. On the third ballot; the jury agreed to a verdict of first-degree murder and the rest of the ballots were taken to determine what punishment they would fix. Find Victim's Body Miller, an arthritic cripple, died with a bullet ‘rom Pollard’s 38-caliber revolver in his heart. The shooting occurred in Pol-

Spann Ave. Early the following day a body believed to be Miller's was found in the smouldering ruins of an abandoned cabin near Ladoga. The same morning two severed hands shown by rprints to be Miller's and a crip-

Navy Douses Salt On Spotted Subs
Admits Evidence
Is Inconclusive
WASHINGTON, Mar. 30 (UP) —Navy officials acknowledged today that three reports of foreign submarines off the Pacific coast are not “conclusive.” Navy officials pointed out that refuse floating in the sea can look like periscopes and that quite a few whale suffered depth charges during the war because they looked like subs. The Navy, however, refused to comment on an official Soviet statement that no Russian subs have been playing around American shores. The statement was broadcast yesterday by Moscow Radio. Taken With Salt The Navy likewise refused to comment on reports from administration and congressional sources that at least five submarines operating near the Aleutians last year were “definitely” identified as Russian. Navy officials said reports of submarines are taken with a grain of salt unless they are made by experts in the art of sub-spotting. They said none of the three recent reports, which dealt with foreign submarine activity off the West Coast since Jan. 30, fell into that category. The three reports were cited
Navy Secretary John L. Sullivan told a Senate committee that “submarines not belonging to any nation west of the iron cur tain” have been sighted off U. 8. shores recently.

Girls Have Boy-Friend Trouble
HOW CAN I WIN BACK the friendship of an old girl-friend without her thinking too much I want us to be friends? She seems to like my boy-friends better than hers. We went walking and my boy-friend came along. She said if he took me home she'd go along for the ride. I told her that was what 1 thought she'd do. TROUBLED. You'll never be sure of a boy-friend if you aren’t sure of yourself. Give her and the other girls some competition by being more attractive and interesting than they are. You can shine with character right now by offering an apology, which this girl deserves.

Blames Looks for ‘Hell on Earth’
I HAVE LIVED A HELL ON EARTH because of my looks. I'm a Christian woman but have a hard look and coarse features. I've taken beauty treatments but I just look worse. Everyone misjudges me and shuns me because of my looks. My family and husband won't go out with me. People make insulting remarks about me—men sneer at me. I can't even 8° to church, 50 I get my church on the radio. I've thought of ending it all as it isn’t any pleasure to live miserable and shunned by the world. I'm qualified for good jobs, but was turned down because of my looks. NELLIE. I'll bet that you've hidden your personality in trying to hide face. You're making yourself too important—everyone doesn’t look at you. You can divert the attention of those who do look at your face by getting their interest. Your husband forgot your face when he married you probably because your love for him made it glow. He may criticize your looks when you argue— but I imagine you strike at his weaknesses, too, don’t you? He is just as conscious about those weaknesses as you are about your looks. Employers may not have needed your services but you blamed your face.

Advises Against Nagging
TO MRS. H. W.—I'm like Mrs. Manners, I wonder about the devil too. Many persons’ religion consists merely in going to and from church, “What Christian service am I rendering to help others” is a good question to ask ourselves. When I married, my father sald “If you want to live happily with your husband don’t nag him.” We could all live on praise if we had enough of it. I'm a member of the WCTU and interested in a sober world. One drinker told me if his wife would joke with him, like I did, instead of nag him he'd stop just to please her—later he did stop. He was married to a lovely woman and I called on them one day. He asked how I felt and I said I wan't very good and asked, jokingly, what he had good for me to drink. A scientist said man’s cerebrum is his best bet for lasting peace —that part of the brain lending itself to “co-operative, altruistic unselfish behavior.” I read books on behavior that belonged to my son, John’s Hopkins University instructor. What a subject! If our educational system accomplishes what it plans our children will be taught good behavior more than ever before. It would be well for parents to take that course, too, as many adults are sadly deficient in good behavior. SEMI-INVALID. Wise words you spoke on praise, the Golden Rule and nagging.
Let Mrs. Manners and readers of the column share your
Your boy-friend, your parents and I doubt your maturity. Your marriage probably failed because of a lack of maturity and
