However, after long question
ing. Chief Brown said, Mrs. Raper
broke down and admitted the
whole affair was "figment of
my imagination"
The husband sounded the kid
naping alarm at 2 am. yesterday
when he came home from duty.
His wife was gone and there was
evidence of a struggle.
Night Gown on Floor.
He said her bedroom was in
disorder. Her tattered nightgown
lay on the floor. A crudely
scrawled note was pinned to a
linen closet door saying:
How do you like this Mr.
Raper. Is afrid?"
Mr.. Raper said outside the
house he found a 12-foot ladder
leaning against a second story
window where the screen was cut
With that to go, Police Chief
L. j. Hilbert ordered an all-out
manhunt.
In the afternoon Mr.. Raper re-
ceived a telephone call at home.
He said he heard his wife scream
and then the caller hung up be-
fore he could have the call traced.
He said he got two calls early
last night. In one mans voice
said Mrs. Raper would be re-
leased in front of her home. The
other was a woman, saying his
wife would be freed in a resi-

town.

Detective Chief Brown said Mrs.
Raper finally called from filling
station in that residential area.
At first Mrs. Raper told Chief
Brown she was abducted by two
men-43 and 20 years old-who
forced their way into her bedroom
and attempted to carry her away
in the nude. She said she was
held captive all day. guarded by
woman.
Later Chief Brown said Mrs.
Raper admitted she left home of
her own accord and was not kid
naped.
The detective chief added Mrs.
Raper said she had called her
husband several times during her
absence to frighten him, and ad-
mitted she wrote the note found
in the bedroom.
A man and woman also were
questioned briefly in the case.
1t. Wayne Harbolt of the
homicide squad said Robert W.
Miller, 48, and his housekeeper,
Mrs. Mary Case, 48, signed state
ments saying Mrs. Raper spent
the night with Mrs. Case at the
Miller home.
1t. Harbolt said Mr.. Miller
stated Mrs. Raper came there
shortly after midnight Saturday
and remained with Mrs. Case until
7p.m. yesterday when she left in
a taxi. MIR. Miller added he did
not know why she came.
The homicide chief quoted Mrs.
Case as saying she tried to per-
suade Mrs. Raper to call her huS-

QUESTION: Is it true that
Jewish tradition allows a Sefer
Torah to be sold in order to mar
~ off a damsel?
ANSWER: Yes, generally, this
is so and is based upon state
ment in the Talmud which states
that time may be taken away
from the study of the Torah in
order to promote the marriage OF
a Bride. There is an interesting
reason for it. When the Torah
was given at Mount Sinai, scrip
ture tells us in the Book of Exc
dus that the Israelites were COM
handed to separate from their
wives for that period. The wom-
en- were later rewarded for their
patience when it was decreed
that one can sell or take time out
from the Sefer Torah in order to
lead the bride to the canopy.

QUESTION: Why are there no
in the Sefer Torah?

voWelS in the Sefer Torah?
ANSWER: The words of the
Sefer Torah are made up of let
scholars room for more interpre-
tiers which are left unvoweled for
a very interesting reason. Much
of the exegesis of the scholarly
commentaries is arrived at by
assigning different vowels to the
letters of the Bible. Leaving the
words without vowels allows the
tation. There is a great moral to
this. Many have tried to insist
upon the letter of the law and
have thus robbed scriptural teach
ing of its flavor. The scriptures
were purposely left unvoweled to
establish the fact that Oral Law
was designed to give meaning,
flavor and beauty to the timeless
message of the Lord in the Holy
Bible.

IF LEW LEHR, the late
l. comic, had seen a motor
boat race before he looked at
a ZOO, his famous catch phrase
probably would have been al
tered to "Motorboat drivers Is
the cwaziest people" For
week end after week end a
tight-knit little band OF afi-
cionados leave the normalcy
of their bread-winning occu-
pations and 60 more than
slightly mad.
Motorboat racing drivers
have two things in common:
They like to 60 fast in a boat,
and they like to 60 faster In a
boat than any one else. And
they do 1t for free. For in
board boat racing is the most
amateur of all sports. Indeed.
drivers pay dearly for the du-
bious privilege Of beating their
brains out at speeds ranging
from so to nearly $50 miles per
hour. Many, in fact, have gone
into various stages OF bank
ruptcy In order to keep their
beloved boats afloat.
The only recognition drivers
receive for their efforts Is
various trophies presented at
regattas and, for a select few,
election to the Gulf Hall OF
Fame-the top honor in the
racing world.

you think form letter of the kind
each senator should receive would
be helpful to those of us who've

men?) urging them to vote for
cloture, and thus, at least assure
the FEPC Bill of a hearing on the

urged that we write to Senator
Robert Taft, who above all things
else wants to be president, and ask
him as the COP leader to take a
stand in favor of the FEPC Bill.
