|Mogruder Boys, 8 and 4, Spend Night Out,
Sleep in Bags After Spree With SIS Capital
Try to Bribe Police
With Doughnut After
Parents Sturt Search

Keep those stomping pigeons of
the roof today, neighbor, the Ma
gruder boys had a tough night!
The Magruder lads. Glenn, 4, and
Buddy, 8, came home IN the cold,
gray dawn today with a profound
case of the sleepies, a new, low
record for night-life spending and
the knowledge that you can't bribe
a policeman with a doughnut.
Yearning for night on the town

the Ketcham School was out yester-
day. They went home to 1884 High
street Sc, dressed for the occasion
in overalls and dungarees and set
out.

A S. bill they said they found in
an alley answered their only prob
lem. I'VE just wanted to spend it"
Buddy told their parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Magruder.
They went to the Fairlawn The
ater and, for what it's worth to
Hollywood to keep them quiet about
it, they walked out on Bob Hope
and Burt Lancaster in double
feature.
They also ate, then sacked up for
the night py the simple expedient
of picking up two burlap sacks and
hanging them over a tree limb three
feet above the ground. This was a
safety measure deemed necessary
after Glenn thought he saw a snake
Tries Doughnut Bribe.
Hunger and the discomfort of
their beds routed them early. but
the fact that their parents. police
and the neighbors had sought them
all night had left them apparently
uEworried.
At dawn they were walking near
Naylor and Good Hope roads Sc,
munching doughnuts. That was
where the police found them. Glenn
was all for going homeland offered
a policeman one of his doughnuts
to get the job done. They went to
the 18th Precinct instead and the
mother picked them up.
Back home with their sleepless
parents, they had $211 left from the
night in town.
''We planned to stay a week."
Buddy said.
All of this may explain why Buddy
and Glenn Magruder were not in
school today-and why Edward Ma
gruder was dropping little when
he worked, If he worked.

Government officials also are ex-
pected to be acted on by Congress
In fact, House-Senate conferees
agreed Sunday morning in discussing
the pay raise measure, that these
top bracket pay raises will have
prior consideration next year. These
raises will be worked into the
classifica ton revisions.
One of the reasons Congress hesi-
tated to grant the top-bracket wage
boosts was the feeling that "the
boys downtown who would benefit
are mostly Democrats" If the Re-
publicans win in November, this OBJ
lection would be removed, since most
of the top spots in the Government
will be occupied by Republicans
Thus, the Republican Party could
be expected to act promptly in rails
ing salaries to attract the best quail
fed men into their administration.

By Gornett D. Homer

The United States is preparing

security system under the United

State Lovett disclosed today.
He said the State Department
would take the first steps through

ideas of the Vandenberg resolution

Mr.. Lovett said passage Of the
resolution stemmed from the Sem
ate's right under the Constitution
to give advice to the executive
branch on foreign policy matters,
and said considerable study had gone
into the matter of how to carry out
the implications of the move.
He said no dates have been set
as yet for beginning of negotiations
with European countries. 1t is
reasonable to assume, however, he
added, that the United States would
have some contact in the near
future with a prominent military
committee set up in London by the
Western Union nations.
He said he did not know when
military staff talks might occur, but
indicated that the first steps
would be taken through diplomatic
channels.
