control of the project and the only

thing the promoters control is the dam site. It appears that the town of Cloverdale obtained the options on the land which will be covered by the big lake and has been working for ten years on the project. A Btazd man who was formerly connected with the project stated that the reason the promoters came to Brazil was that they expected to get control of the 220 miles of shore line by getting Brazil into the scrap. This shore line is controlled by Clo\erdale and it is claimed that the promoters wanted to secure control of the shore line by getting the application for the loan made through Brazil. He said the company was entitled to reimbursement for the money they have spent and the large amount of work they have done on the project but that the shore line belongs to Cloverdale which originated the project and secured the options. Mayor Eouderback says if the project goes through it will be on the application of Cloverdale and that Brazil will tare just as well with Cloverdale in control as if it had . ponsored the project itself.

CURTAINS - AND THEIR CARE Due to direct exposure, it is the lower part of Curtains that becomes weaker than the upper. This is because sunlnght tenders the fibers. If the bottom is placet at the top after each laundering, the alternating of these sections will help to lengthen the life of the fabric. For this reason it is well to buy Curtains that can be reversed end for end, having hems of proper width for convenient use. If you wish your Curtains to look their best send them to the laundry. We are equipped to stietch them straight without pin holes or scalloped edges. Have us do your curtains before Christmas.

POLICE BELIEVE VOCTH TOOK OWN LIFE. SON OF PROMINENT FAMILY

(BULLETIN)

TULSA. Okla, Dec. 10 (UP)— Homer F. Wilcox, Jr., 17, son of an Oil Millionaire, was arrested today as authorities pressed the investigation of the slaying of two youths from the top Strata of Tulsa society. He was accused of shooting out street lights near the scene of the killing of John Gorrell, 23, on Thanks-

giving night.

TULSA, Okla, Dec. 10, <UP> — Terrorized by one slaying and an apparent suicide under mysterious circumstances. state witnesses in the investigation of the "society” gang, were reported today either in hiding or preparing to flee. Sidney Born, Jr., 19, son of a Tulsa university faculty member, was found fatally wounded late yesterday in his parked car. Police said it was suicide, just as they did two weeks ago when the body of John Gorrell, another student, was found under similar circumstances. Phillip Kennamer, 19. son of a federal district judge, later confessed he killed Gorrell. Born had given information against Kennamer. Professor Born refused to believe his son took his life. "He couldn’t have committed suicide,” he said. ’’There wasn't any reason. He was in good spirits when he left home at noon. He was a level-headed boy who wouldn’t have done such a thing.” The gun used was identified as one owned by Professor Bom. Ted Bath, 24. another state witness. informed police he was leaving town because he was afraid "Kennar ( r's gang” would kill him. Other a tab witnesses could not he reached. Relatives said they did not know where they were. Some relatives frankly confessed the missing witnesses were leaving town. Horn friend of both Gorrell and Kennamer, had driven Kennamer to what proved his last rendezvous with Gorrell. He was to have been an important state witness in the trial of Kennamer, who is charged with first degree murder. Horn was found In hts parked ear yesterday afternoon, a bullet hole in his head and a .32 calibre revolver at his aide, a few minutes after he had walked ’ agitatedly into a drug store and tried to telephone Kennemnr at the county Jail. Fred Adams, a clerk, watched him. "Ho tried to get the number several times,” Adams said. "Finally he hung up. Then as he walked out 1 heard him say, ‘Aw, hell.’ He got into his "ar and drove away." It was a short time later that C. M. Peale noticed a figure slumped in n car. parked in the same exclusive residential district in which Oorrcll war; slain. He investigated and called police. It was Bom, a bullet wound hack of his right ear. There were no finger prints on the gun. Police said an ambulance driver obliterated them. In Gorrell’s ease the prints were carefully wiped away by Kennamer who then replaced the gun In a holster strapped to Gorrell's side. Bom was alive but unconscious when found. He died three hours Inter without regaining conscious-

ness.

Kennamer was attending afternoon religious services In the jail assembly hall when Informed Horn had shot. , NARCOTIC DRIVE ENDS CHICAGO, # I)ec. 10 (TJP)--Mrs. Elizabeth Bass, head of the Federal Narcotic forces in the Chicago area, announced today that the intensive drive against Narcotic peddlers was
