After Gun Duel In New York Home
MERRICK, N. Y., Apr. 18 (UP)| jected suito
taking pot shots at policemen surrounding the house. = DeWitt Combs, 22, Wantagh, L. IL, ex-Marine now employed as an aircraft mechanic, told police he went to the house for the purpose of killing Francis Fay, 58, & retired businessman and a crack marksman, because he was in terferring with his romance with Rita Fay, 21, who told him last November . she never wanted to see him again. Held Without Bail
Combs was arraigned before Judge Norman F. Lent, on a charge of first degree murder. He waived examination and was held without bail for grand jury action,
He had watched from a hiding place, as Rita Fay came home from a date and then took the! screen off a cellar window, erawled in, took off his shoes and stocking and pulled the master light switch.
Mr. Fay, a gun collector, was awakened by another daughter, Betty, 16, who said she heard a prowler. He picked a heavy automatic pistol out of his gun collection and went to investigate. The father and suitor met in the kitchen and both opened fire in the dark. The shots went wild.| Mr. Fay then ran to the front door, shouting to his wife, Caro-| 1yn, 51, to call police.
Police Toss Gas
While Mr. Fay was standing In the doorway, outlined by shadows, police said Combs took tareful aim and shot him in: the back. Mr. Fay dropped dead. By that time, Mrs. Fay had summoned police, and Merrick's entire force of 20 men surrounded the house. Combs shot at the officers, but did not hit any of them. They did not shoot back because they were afraid they wolld hit Rita. After police-pitched six tear gas bombs through the Window Combs surrendered.

Ft. Wayners Use Giveaway Shows Hint Speedup To Raise Funds for Orchestra
‘Keep the Music’ Idea Popular ;
Tuesday t's local 0 flock to the™Palace Theater for
rogram, h matically paid off two totaling"$15,652—the largest prizes ever given away here. Using a gimmick that's been popular nationally, local campaigners for the orchestra are getting contributions for the Philharmonic’s maintenance fund. .Still better, they're stirring up interest in the orchestra. Frank
Wembhoff, the Philharmonic’s bus- § iness manager, told me they've}
sold 80 per cent of their season tickets for next year, although soloists have not yet been announced. . . ” FT. WAYNERS are eager to help the Philharmonic. Take the case of Mrs. Everett Thorn, who won the $12,500 jackpot Apr. B. One of her prizes, contributed by Wolf & Dessauer’s department store, was $500 in merchandise
and $500 to be given the winner's
favorite charity. Mrs. Thorn told
pledge to the Women’s Committee, of the Philharmonic for their] musical scholarship fund. w] “Keep the Music” was dreamed up by the Junior League of Ft. Wayne, Mrs. Sam Fletcher, president, and Mrs. Joseph Pettit, pro-~ gram chairman. Co-sponsors are the: Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette, the Quimby Theaters, Station WKJG and the Ft. Wayne Musical Society, parent organization of the Philharmonic. » . »
CONTESTANTS who wish to try out for the jackpot prizes must make a contribution to the Philharmonic, amount not specified, though Mr. Wemhoff tells me contributions average 60 cents, They also must complete, in 25 or fewer words, the statement: “I think we should keep the Philharmonic because . , . As in similar national giveaway shows, contestants are called by telephone at their homes. The Junior Leaguers do all the pavement-pounding in getting merchants to: donate prizes. On
Apr. 5, Mrs. Thorn won a 1049
Ford and a long list of clothing, jewelry, services and appliances. Probably the oddest prize of all, again donated to the current jackpot which nobody won last Tuesday, is 1000 feet of frankfurters or the cash equivalent offered by Peter Eckridge & Sons, local sausage manufacturers, . # . MRS. THORN and her husband, ‘who live in a four-room spartment, decided on the cash equivalent. They made the same decision about the white-face steer offered by Ralph Castle & Son. Having no children, they preferred cash to the two to 10 ‘'Toidey sets offered by the Toldey A native of Greenwood, Miss., Mrs. Thorn says she has no italent for performing music, but likes to hear it. “In the little town I came from, I was starved {for good music. Since I've lived here, I've missed very few of the Philharmonic’s | concerts,” she
Another Apr. 5 winner was Mrs. Ward Kruse, a farmer's wife from out near Auburn, who drew $3152 in prizes. One appealing item on her jackport list

into effect until next Jan. 1. Mr. Brannan discussed with Mr. Tru man today whether to ask Congress to advance this authorization. .The secretary said consumer | prices on pork and milk probably will fall if the administration is allowed to make direct subsidy payments Immediately to producers, This belief is based on the idea that market prices would be permitted to find their own level and the government would pay farmers the difference between the support price and what ‘they actually got on the market for their hogs and milk. This would permit retall prices to remain low without hurting the farmer. The new farm program Mr, Brannan gave Congress more! than a week ago calls for opera-| ‘tions of this kind.
