‘THE MAN who has worked so long for The Texas Co. that he is eligible for four weeks of vacation smiles and you know that’s what he wanted to hear. His whole outfit is ready. to be hauled into the car. He didn’t buy two new plugs Just to leave them in the basement. : “My wife and I are going to take iteeasy this year. We're driving to Missouri and starting off by visiting a few relatives. After that we'll just follow our noses.” ! : Yes, sir, “follow our noses.” He only has every ~ map the touring service his company has to offer. And, as a member of the Hoosier Motor Club, Arnold has a “trip-tip” schedule worked out. for his entire estimated 6000-miles through the West. That's all. ;
A worried look comes over his face and you wait. He's wrestling with a big problem. What could it be? Gas? He should be able to get all he needs from the Texaco people. As a division credit manager he surely can get a credit card. Indians? They may scalp vou on a hunk of pottery. He surely isn't worried about losing his way, not with 10 pounds of maps along. He and the “missus” don’t know whether to put all three of the Boston bulldogs in a kennel or just two and take Bambi along. Last year when they left Bambi behind, the dog almost died of a “broken heart.” The truth of the matter was that the Maucks missed Bambi. “Ah, take Bambi, you'll have plenty of room in the car.” : - “That's what I was thinking. I'll see what the wife says.” “You know the other two dogs don't mind being in kennels.” Big problem. “We're going to make a circuit. The wife and I want to see Yosemite National Park, the Black

NEW YORK, July T — The past 12 months have been horribly splotched with crimes of perversion and psychic irresponsibility, encouraged undoubtedly by the past tendency to treat the criminal as “ill” rather than wrong; by ignoring the innocent victim and excusing the motives of the offender in terms of scrambled emotions. The past few months, though, have witnessed a reaction. The older, near-maudlin “sympathy” for the culprit, who obeys an ungovernable impulse because of a frustration or abnormality has been replaced by angry resentment and a realization that some heavy steps toward determent must be taken. This is graphically illustrated by the handling of the John Saiu case, for which Judge Samuel Joseph of the Bronx County Court —must-be applauded, and a blue-ribbon jury com=— mended. 3 :
History of Sex Offenses
SAIU was a wanderer with a long history of sex offenses, prowling, burglary and indecent as- . sault—undoubtedly a man of pitiful complexes. He sexually assaulted 8-year-old Jack Goldsmith and then strangled the little boy with his belt. This being a completely wanton, senseless. murder, you would expect the ordinary decision of “criminally. insane” and a sentence to the asylum, where a miraculous recovery might be achieved, in time, and the killer freed to indulge his whimsies elsewhere. But the judge and jury just didn't see it that way at all. The jury was out 20 minutes and came back with a verdict of first-degree murder. Judge Joseph pronounced a death sentence coldly and with justifiable harshness. He even went so far as to omit the customary “and may God have mercy upon your soul.” . a The judge, before sentence, read aloud the prisoner's lengthy record of patterned crimes. Then the judge, staring at the prisoner, said deliberately: “This was a ruthless, sex-perverted killing. And this is not only for you, John Saiu,

meses Ayame W: Cooper enjoys his fine; new house in
Georgetown, Tex. I helped finance it. So did you. ~The manse of pillmixer Cooper is a small thing for us to be worrying about, maybe; yet the Reconstruction Finance Corporation —took—it— so seriously that it slipped him a loan of $27,000 to settle the debts that he left unpaid on account of the home with the tile bath and the ultra-modern kitchen. : ; Now the U. S. Senate’s considering the house of this Texas purveyor of headache powders as a perfect example of the way our money oughtn't to be spent. The repentant RFC agrees and even

Cooper is not so hot as a businéssman. Haw.
Hate to Disagree : I HATE to disagree with the world's mightiest banking corporation, but I should say that this obscure Texan bested the financiers at their own
game. If it hadn't been my money that he got,
I'd be inclined to applaud him. On -Georgetown’s main street he and five helpers brewed the sodas, filled the prescriptions and ~ peddled the -hardware—-in the village's biggest ~~ drugstore. It was a busy place. The only trouble was that Tom was building this house and it cost a good deal more than hé expected. So he took from his till about $15,000 to pay the building contractors and, blooie! He had no money to pay his bills for drugs, comic books and marshmallow whip. He owed $25853 and he couldn’t pay it. He was on the verge of bankruptcy. So he applied to the Dallas RFC office for a loan. His fellow Texans turned him down on the ground that if he hadn't spent more on the house than he took in from the drugstore, he wouldn't need a loan. So Tom appealed to his Congressman,
who got in touch with the RFC's general dimissing the case against Brad-; counsel, James Dougherty. And “It wasn’t “Jong ey —osoossmmmmes v Bird before Tom had his loan of $27,000 at 4 per cent| Lhere was no Tee to By him interest for five years. |since the same evidence ag |
