Inspector.
"YEs, sir. The devil. Roger the

was headed toward the park.
There's bride path that winds
for six miles through the park
to the main highway. There's no
way to follow the bride path by
car. He's an ex-jockey, so he
grabs himself a riding horse to

The Inspector and Dan and

lights stab the darkness. But all
they see is trees, and now and
then a skittish rabbit streaking
across the path. They walk half
the way, and then they reach
the thee-quarter mark.
The devil on horseback has
vanished.

Dan runs. His flashlight picks
up the horse standing in the
path, and she lifts her head and
whinnies again as he comes close.
Dan points his flashlight toward
the ground. Roger the Runt is
sprawled out there. He's still
wearing his devils costume,
but not his false face. The effect
is about the same, though. His

There are more than 600 feeble

no more can be accommodated.

Judge Bentley also stressed the

they were almost non-existent, and
the number still is insufficient.

Students Not Trained
10 Run Own Business,
Educators Are Told

Colleges spend too little time
teaching students to start and run
their own businesses and too much
time training them to work for
somebody else, businessman told
educators yesterday.
Too few people, including col
lege graduates, are economic liter
ates," Raymond Rubicam, chairman
OF the research and policy commit
tee Of the Committee for Economic
Development, told the annual meet
ing OF the American Council on
Education.
He said formal education fails to
supply businessmen with the knowl-
edge they need. It does q better
job training people for salaried
positions, he added, but this will
not help the economic system work
more effectively.
Urges More New Businesses.
There is nothing more essential
to the continuing vitality and pro-
gressiveness Of the free American
economy than a healthy birthrate
and growth line of new enterprises
Of small and intermediate size he
said. TT is important that q
larger percentage Of those who start
and manage them should be better
qualified in the future than in the
past
Milton Murray, president of the
American Newspaper Guild, CIO.,
told the educators that teachers
"haye failed to sell" the Importance
OF education. He said the Ameri-
can people will pay for anything they
think worth while. It Is up to the
teachers to convince them more
tax money Is needed to improve the
system by paying higher salaries to
teachers and making other inn
provements, he said.
