Heavy trading in Capital Tran

Of the company a year ago in
September, the chairman said the
SEC found no sale by the group
substantial enough to constitute
a violation. When group of per-
sons owning as much as 10000
shares sells only about 200 shares,
1t is not regarded as violation,
and we ran across only a few
struggling sales, he said.
Trading Normal Again.
Mr.. McDonald's statement fol-
lowed reports from a number of
Washington brokers and invest
ment houses that they received
SEC forms in August calling for
details of all transactions in Cap
ital Transit stock. Heavy trading
had brought an advance in the
stock from $40 share to as high
as $39 after the Florida group
acquired control.
While the SEC investigation
received no public notice at the
time, it was widely discussed in
the financial district here and
trading in the stock soon subsidized
to more normal levels. Sales on
the Washington Stock Exchange
in September, October and so far
this month have been small COM
pared with those Of the preceding
10 months. The price of the stock
also has subsidized to around $3.50

Meanwhile the company went
ahead with plans for a 4-for-1

with the Public Utilities Commis-
sion and the Interstate Commerce

the county.
The delegate, William r.
(Huck) Hughes. Republican, met

conditions described by Mr.
Hughes apparently have interstate
connections, thus bringing them

By Robert J. Lewis
Stor Stoff Correspopdent

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Nov. 22.-
Every one in this historic South
ern Pennsylvania community
hopes today that Gen. and Mrs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower soon will
be neighbors and they're "all
smiles" at the prospect.
Even the Democrat from whom
the EiSenhowers, the other day,
bought their 189-acre dairy and
general farm overlooking Gettys-
burg Battlefield says he'll vote for
Ike" If he runs for President on
the Republican ticket.
I'm definitely for him for any,
thing he runs for" said 62-year-
old Allen S. Redding, owner of the
farm for % years. Hes a great
American"
The editor of the only daily
newspaper in Adams County. of
which Gettysburg is the county
seat, was equally enthusiastic.
1--WE are tickled to death the
general bought a home here" Edi-
tor Paul L. Roy said. Were going
to boom him for President as hard
as we can" Mr.. Roy added his
newspaper was independent"
Political Leaders Pleased.
To man, county political lead
ers of both major parties said they
were highly pleased,
Borough Treasurer John H.
Bashore, Republican County
Chairman for the last IL years,
commented:
He has many friends here as a
result of having commanded Camp
Colt during World War I. I'm sure
if he ran for President on the Re-
publican ticket. he would get q
lot of Democratic votes, too."
Fred M. Klunk, a New Oxford
PaD pretZel manufacturer who
heads the county Democratic Or
ganization, had similar strong
words of welcome.
Representative Lind, Democrat,
who represents the 21st Congress
sional District, said at his home in
York:
TITS nice that such distin-
guished soldier should have seen
fit to make his home in our con-
gressionai district"
Topic for Every One.
From bellhops in the Hotel
Gettysburg in Lincoln Square in
this town of $500 persons. to
Gettysburg bankers and business
men, the big topic was the Eisen-
hover purchase.
Banker Edmund w. Thomas,
who escorted the late David Lloyd
George, Britain's Prime Minister
during World War I, over $500
acre Gettysburg Battlefield back
in the 20s, was led to reminisce
a bit.
you know, we've been host
here to some great men. but none
greater than Gen. Eisenhower"
he said.
We've had thousands Of IA
nous men here. and almost every
President, but not Mr.. Truman.
He turned us down every time,
and we don't know whether we're
going to invite him again."
Political Implications.
He referred to the community's
inability to make arrangements
to have the President deliver one
OF the annual Memorial Day ad-
dresses at Gettysburg.
One Republican leader, who said
he did not want to be identified,
suggested that Gen. Eisenhower
could be elected two years hence

THE Perfect Idiot" a riotous
farce in three acts, was present
ed to capacity audiences at the
High School Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights by a cast from the
1850 Senior class under the dir
ection of Miss Margaret r. Long.
The theme of the play concern
ing teen-agers, was particularly
well adapted for a high school
presentation
The scene of the entire play
was laid in the home of the Ten
nyson family, with the story built
around Daniel, young son of the
household, (James Manning,) who
had been coached by his father,
Roger Tennyson, (Charles Keefer)
to be a young mental genius.
Situations which arose as a re-
suit Of the brilliance of Daniel, in
contrast to the less mental stat
ure of his younger brother Jackie
(Alfred Mancini) and other young
fry of the same age, were most
mirth- h-provoking because of the
excellent portrayal of the parts.
Daniels run-ins with his radio
sponsor, Walter p Latherby,
soap magnate, (William Robin

exams, SO that he could compete
in a tournament for the school,
created much of the plot.
Daniels experiments with hyp-
notism resulting in the rigging up
of a machine, were successful in
giving him complete control over
Puff's mind, leading to Purr finally
coming through the exams with
an "A" and competing in the
athletics.
Hypnotising of Mr.. Latherby,
when ACKNOWLEDGED" with the ap-
paratus, led to much merriment in
the play.

wealth OF Entertainment GIVEN
CROWDS IN LONDON HIGHS PLAY

when Daniel walked out on all the
activities in the school and was
won back by his bargaining with
his classmates to restore him to
favor with his radio sponsor, and
help him to better understand
their more frivolous way of life.
Aiding in the work of bringing
Daniel to his senses were his
mother, M argaret Tennyson
(Avanelle Bruce, Rhodora, maid
and counselor, mabel Whitelow) !;
Arthur Barnard, principal of Lin
coin High school (Leonard Rowe) :;
Miss Baker, a teacher Judith
Hill,) all excellently cast for their
parts.
The romance of the story was
furnished by Daniel THE Perfect
Idiot and Linda, Mr.. Bakers
daughter, which came through
with flying colors in the face of
great opposition.
The climax of the story came
when a psychiatrist DR.. Won Hook
horst Won Barf (William McMill-
in,) called in to cope with Daniel,
who was feigning a nervous break
down, discovered that the lad, in
on taking his entrance exams for
college, had purposely answered
every question wrong to keep from
going to college when he learned
that Linda did not expect to go.
In the meantime Linda had pass
ed the exams, but the involved
circumstances were finally stra-
ightened out when the psychiat-
rist invited Daniel to assist him
in making up lists of questions for
college entrance exams.
The part of the policeman, who
came to sell tickets for the Police
mems Ball was played by Rich
ard MCGUIRE and that of Miss
Booth, a newspaper reporter, seek
ing publicity about Daniels car
eer, by Audrey Taylor.
The thunderous applause and
constant laughter of the audiences
was evidence of the appreciation
with which the production was
received.
Music was furnished by the Lon
don High School orchestra dir
ected by Ray Creighton.

porting an historic event or some

The story back of OHIO NEWS
PAPERS is interesting. Early in
1916, the author, Robert C. Wheel
er, newspaper librarian of the
Ohio State Archaeological and
Historical Society, was impress
ed with the fascination and in
terest shown by school children
for newspapers of 25, so and 100
OF more years ago. They seemed
to pay almost reyerent respect to
tic newspaper of April, 1865,
which told about the death of
President Lincoln, and to that
of June, 1894, which offered re-
ward of S130 dollars for each

how old, worn, badly frayed, and
in some cases almost illegible,
newspapers, could be reproduced
successfully, and yet retain their
original character. Samples were
taken to the printers, and after
several experiments in photo off
set printing, one certain method
was decided upon. Months were
spent in selecting the historic
events to be included, and even
more months in the painstaking
task of locating the newspapers
containing the stories. In spite OF
the author being in one of the
largest, and most complete, news
paper libraries in the United
States, he had to write hundreds
of letters and make countless trips
to libraries and historical societies
all over the country for certain
papers. Every effort was made to
make this book a valuable aid in
the teaching and appreciation of
history.
One of the greatest obstacles to
publication was the cost of pro-
ducing a book of this nature, and
for a time the project seemed al
most impossible. However, after
year was spent trying to find a
way to pay the printing cost, the
idea finally came. Individual Ohio
newspapers were invited to pur-
chase copies in advance for the
schools and Libraries in their COM
munities, and they responded gen.
erously. Soon over 1900 copies OF
the book were ordered; 1900 from
Ohio newspapers alone. With those
orders publication was assured.
