Another type talks too much because he's
overanxious Overanxiety may cause an
employer to feel he can't risk hiring you. Miss
Hyde recalled one applicant for lob AZ ,
floor manager 1--WE liked him and, after the
interview, we said we'd call him.

NEXT day, the man called back, asked if =
decision had been made One of the inter-
viewers told him. Not yet But we expect
to make one within week and we II definitely
call you, one way or the other, to let YOU
know The applicant called on the second
day, again on the third day. We explained
that it wasn't our fault but that an entire
budget was being considered and that we'd
not be able to make decision for few days
yet. He became abusive and accused the
interviewer of giving him the runaround
''Well, if he felt that way, the hest
thing for him to have done was to have
sent a note, explaining he felt anxious
about the job, hoped he'd be hired-and
let it go at that. If he was getting the run.
around, no amount of talking would help. If
he wasn't, then everything he said could do
nothing but harm - which is what it did do"
Now that you think back on it, does any
of this sound familiar to you? Did you ever
fail to get job because you violated Miss
Hyde's four basic rules?
l. Organize what you have to say.
Z. Talk only about what is pertinent to the
job.
;. Know when an interview is over Don't
try to keep reselling yourself
4. Don't be overanxious. Try to have con-
fdence in yourself and the person inter-
viewing you.
Miss Hyde has one more vital observation
which should surprise you if you're believer
in favorite old platitude. More men than
women, she says, have cost themselves jobs by
talking too much.

Maybe He's Bored

WHAT makes people talk too much? Usually,
say psychologists, the chatterbox is burdened
with deep fears and anxieties He's afraid he
won't be hired - and if he is hired, he's afraid
he won't do a good job His talk is an express
sion of those fears, an attempt to cover them
up. Actually, it may only add to them.

often uses talk to replace some other kind Of

dex last month. as reported the
other day by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, just about kills any
lingering hopes that anyone may
have had for a general Federal
pay raise this year.
The cost-of Living pay increase
prospects have been very poor all
along and the BIS figures apply
the clincher. The cost Of living
decline last month was one of the
sharpest since the BIS started its
index nine years ago and prac-
tically wiped out living cost in
creases that occurred during 1948.

f1cials point out that. in terms of
purchasing power. Federal en-
ployes remain worse off than they
were in 1871. despite three pay
raises since that time. But it's
very apparent that Congress will
not approve any pay raise as long
as prices continue to come down.
The only chance for rank-and-
file pay adjustments lies in CLASH
f1cation Pay Act revisions, and the
failure of the Administration to
start the ball rolling on this legis-
lation makes even this prospect
look rather remote this year. In
these revisions would
amount to a $50 or $50 increase

Youth, 10, Confesses
Staying Sister Of
Girl He Married I
By the Associated Press

MILWAUKEE, Mar. 26.-Dis-
trict Attorney William McCauley
said today a 19-year-old BRIDE
groom has admitted Staying 16-
year-old Patricia Birmingham
while planning to elope with her
older sister.
The district attorney said Mil
ton Babich dictated his statement
a short time after his habeas
corpus hearing on another charge
was recessed for issuance of first
degree murder warrant.
Mr.. McCauley's announcement
came as a climax to a chain of
events started by a fantastic COIN
cidence. Pretty Patricia's trussed
and weighted body was dragged
bm the. Milwaukee River last
&pnday by firemen hunting for
suicide. The girl, who disappeared
February 10, had been shot twice
through the head.
+. Feared Girl Would Talk.
The district attorney said Babich
told him he killed Patricia be-
cause the younger girl knew that
Kathleen. her 17-year-old sister
and Babich's finance, was preg-
nant and threatened to tell her
parents.
The break came after Babich
had undergone 45-Aour of fire.
ohent quizzing by police. He had
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-03-27

been held in custody on a charge
of contributing to the delinquency
of Kathleen. in urging her to elope
with him two days before Pa
tricias body was found.
Babich and Kathleen, who had
left a note saying she was clipping
with Milton. were traced to Kala-
mazoo, Mich. and finally located
at Minneapolis. They returned
to Milwaukee voluntarily accom-
panied by detectives. They were
married at Kalamazoo.
The prosecutor quoted Babich
as saying Kathleen did not know
that he had killed Patricia. The
youth added he didn't want Kath-
leen's reputation smeared because
she was pregnant. =:
II think that's why Patricia
was shot" Mr.. McCauley said he
told Babich.
Bought Gun for Showdown.
Babich answered That's right,
I was afraid she'd tell the family"
the district attorney added.
Mr.. McCauley said the youth
told how he had bought the gun at
the end of January because he
said he knew he would have a
showdown with Patricia. The
shooting. according to Mr.. Nc
Cauley, took place in the Babich
family car shortly after he had
picked up Patricia on her way
home from high school.
Babich related, the district at
.torney said. that he laid the gun
on the front seat between them
and Patricia picked it up by the
handle"
He took the gun away from her,
he said, his finger hit the trigger
and the gun went off.
Asked About Second Shot.
Mr.. McCauley said that when
he asked Babich way second
shot was fired he answered II
didn't know the first shot was
fatal" Then Mr.. McCauley said
he asked Babich how he had de-
cided to dispose of the body and
he answered:
well, after the shooting my
first thought was to dispose of the
body. I had read in magazines
how to dispose of bodies, so I went
out looking for water. I figured
that by dropping the body in water
I would have everything covered
up"
Mr.. McCauley said the youth
told him he disposed of the gun
in the river, after dropping the
body, weighted by a concrete block,
into the water.
Returned to Jail.
After making the statement the
pale. tired-looking youth was re-
turned to jail. In the corridor,

seemed near collapse.
The murder warrant, limited at

proved the marriage of Milton anc
