Bathing Was Once Held
To Be Crime i'm America

RICHMOND, Validating, q
daily habit with most Americans,
was once a crime in some parts
of this country.
Just 200 years ago laws in GER
tain sections prohibited bathing or
bathtubs in houses. Modern Amer
leans accustomed to bathing in
luxurious bathrooms may find it
hard to believe that a home owner
in colonial Virginia had to pay a
$50 annual license" if he wanted
a bathtub in his home or that jail
sentences threatened PHILADELPHIA
ans who took more than one bath
a month.
AS late as 1845 some commun-
tiles were still enacting laws to
protect the people from 1.-THE
dangers of bathing" especially in
cold weather. The Early American
bathroom, drab forerunner Of
today's model cleaning with
chromium, clay tile and mirrors,
seldom had space for a tub.
Ben Franklin helped overcome
opposition to the bath. He designed
portable copper tub, tailored to
his dimensions and shaped like a
shoe. Water was heated from a fire
in an opening at the heel. About
40 years after Franklin's death,
Philadelphia had than 1880
bathtubs.

al system. Although private utili
ties are the front line of defense
because they so far have been the
main target of government en-,
croachment, he warned that state
socialism would continue to spread
and would encompass other bust
nesses if unchecked
He declared that unless Ameri-
cans stop the trend toward social
ism, they are faced with loss of
personal freedom, heavier taxation,
little Oh nc opportunity to develop
private business and will have to
contend with regulation and regi-
mentation by government agencies
and a constantly decreasing STAN
Gard of living.
Corette traced briefly the re-
suits of socialism in Britain and
pointed out that socialism and
communism have proven them
selves to be absolute failures,
whereas the American system of
free enterprise has given this
country the highest standard of
in the world.

Stamps
Possible Phenomenon

SAN DIEGO, CALF. - Ma
rine Warrant Officer Rudolph R.
Hendrick, postal officer of the
Marine Corps recruit depot here,
recently became the envy of the
philatelic world when he discov-
cred a possible phenomenon
in the 1888 series of President

While purchasing stamps for
parcel post, Mr.. Hendrick dis
covered a double overprint of
two plate serial numbers. This
unusual oddly is extremely
scarce because the post office
department destroys such er-
rors in printing before the
stamps are released for sale.
Only two full sheets with the
double plate serial numbers re-
main in existence, one being in
the possession of Mr.. Hendrick.
WO Hendricks only comment
was, This sheet can be obtained

Secret Witness
System Now Used
In War on Crime

CHICAGO. - A new secret weap'
on is now being used in the war
against crime.
This is a "secret = witness" plan
which gives men and women who
know something about a crime a
chance to get their information in
the hands of authorities and collect
a reward without revealing their
names.
The idea has begun to spread
rapidly. 1t has been put to work
against killers in Chicago and Los
Angeles, against murderers and
ballot burglars in Kansas City,
against gunner in Detroit, and
against hooded mobsters in Birm-
ingham, Ala.
Sponsors newspapers in some
places, groups of citizens in others
have offered a total of $438, 600 in
rewards. None of the money has
been passed out yet. An informant
can't collect until the case ends in
conviction.
The chief result, so far, has been
information. Hundreds of letters
have been received. Many of them
offered information that looked
helpful. In Chicago, for instance,
226 letters came in during the first
two months. Forty-one contained
what seemed to be good leads. Two
Of the Chicago cases have resulted
in arrests.
The Chicago Sun-Times conceived
the secret witness plan as a COM
munity service. 1t was spanked by
an FBI report that Chicago had 1926
murders in 1948, highest number
for any city in the U. S. The start
ing switch wa pulled last May 8.
The newspaper a a series of re-
views of unsolved murders-55 in
all. 1t followed up with a full page
list of 476 persons who had been
slain since 1888 and whose slayers
never had been brought to book.
The Sun-Times offered to pay
SIS, 900 for information resulting in
the conviction of the guilty in each
Of the first 20 cases solved. Deadline
1or the rewards is July 5, 1850. (The
.otal was increased to $110, 900 by
IS, 1000 rewards posted in the slay-
ng of two Gary, Ind, women.)

National Supply Tops
MONDAY League

The National Supply Unit
strengthened its hold on top
spot in the MONDAY Softball
League, Tuesday at c. Y, o,
Field when the National players
took a close and well-played
game from the Auto-Lite "A"
team by the score of 3 to 2.
National Supply uncovered
another good pitcher in Al Dart,
who held the powerful Auto
Lite hitters in check. The game
was tied at 2-all in the fifth in
n - when Tom Wojtowski came
to uat in the National Supply
half of the inning. With two out
and George Mertes pitching
good ball for the Auto-Lite "A's"
Wojtowski made a mighty swing
at one of Mertes' slants and
slammed the ball out for a
home run to break the tie and
put the National in the lead by
3 to 2. This homer proved to be
the margin of victory.
In another close one, the
Acklin Stampers unleashed their
batting power and outhit a good
Plaskon team, taking the contest
by the narrow margin of one
run, 8 to 7. Salembeni, the win
ming pitcher, was helped greatly
by his Acklinite batterymate,
Nelson Graham.
With Ray Hulisz pitching for
Plaskon, and Tony DiStaccio
behind the. plate, the Plaskon-
ties almost upset the Acklin out
fit. Plaskon was leading, 6 to S,
going into the seventh, but Lee
Knavels drove a long single with
two Acklin teammates aboard
the bases and brought them both
in TO take the close game. The
lead changed three times during
the contest.
The Auto-Lite "B' team lost
an exhibition game to Captain
Russell's Police team by the
score of 8 to 2. Bob Peters was
on the mound for the Auto-Lites
but his twirling was solved by
the sleuths who went on to an
easy victory.
