California Couple of $23 900
Sheriff's Aide Helped
To Take Money
Officials Charge
BY The Assceioied Press

AUBURN, Calf. Sept. ia
fantastic $4,000 swindle in which
a Presbyterian minister played the
part of a woman was told by au-
thorities here today.
District Attorney AL B. Broyer
said the Rev. William c. Mccall
mont, IS. admitted masterminding
the bilking of Joseph and Amelia
LemoS, operators of fruit stand
at nearby LOOMS.
Mr.. Broyer said the pastor of
the Roseville tCalifD Presbyterian
Church said he had to have money
to pay an unidentified woman who
had been blackmailing him for
three years. The district attor-
ney said the story would be in
vestigated.
Moderator Of Presbytery.
Held with the pastor. who is
moderator of the Sacramento
Presbytery, was Harry Daniels, AZ,
Roseville yardmaster for the
Southern Pacific Railroad and a
captain in the Placer County
sheriff's aerial posse. Both men
were charged with grand theft.
Bail was set at $4,000,
officers were able to trace the
money - which represented the
Lemos' life savings-because it was
sugar coated" Mrs. Lemos once
dried watersoaked bills on a cookie
sheet. Banks watched for bills
with sugar and -four particles on
them.
Mr.. Broyer said the swindle took
place August "a in this manner:
Wore Women's Clothes.
After McCalmont delivered his
Sunday sermon. he and Daniels
went to the Lemos' home. The
minister, using his experience in
amateur theatrlcalS, wore q wig
and women's clothes.
The two told Mrs. Lemos they
were Federal agents and had
learned she and her husband kept
a large amount of money in their
home. They told ner they would
keep the hoard so investigators
coming the next day would not
find it.
Otherwise. they told her. her
husband would get 10 years in
prison.
She gave them the money on
assurance it would be returned
the following night.
McCalmont was quoted by Sher-
if Charles Ward as saying he had
made three previous trips to
Loomis with the intention of tax

DETROIT, Sept. 13.-Repeal of
the Thomas and Whitten leave
riders curbing Federal employe
leave and promotion benefits was
demanded by the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees, as
it wound up it's week-long biennial

The riders were called unfair

sential employees to leave govern
ment for private industry. The
riders were attacked as disrupt
ing efficient operation of govern

than they attempt to save.
Pay Differential Asked.
Also, in the final days session
the convention adopted a resolu-
ton calling for true time-and-a-

Move Begun 70 Give
Dewey Greater Role
In 6. 0. P. Campaign
BY the Assccioied Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-A New
York Congressman moved today
to push Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in
to an active part in the Republi-
can presidential campaign after
Senator Taft's spectacular enlist
ment in the fold.
Representative Leonard w. Hall
was leading a drive to expand
Gov. Dewey'S influence beyond the
New York role which previously
had been assigned to the 1914 and
1948 G. o. P. presidential nominee.
IF the Governor will consent
to a more active part in the cam
paign, I am sure that his help will
be welcomed" Mr.. Hall told a
reporter.
However, representatives of
Gen. Eisenhower. who were in
fluential in arranging the confer
ence from which Senator Taft
emerged to announce he would
give all-out aid to the Republi-
can nominee, were noticeably cool
to Mr.. Halls suggestion.
Dewey a Forgotten Man.
Senator Carlson of Kansas and
Ralph Cake. Oregon national COM
Imitteeman. said they hadn't heard
any report that Gov. Dewey-as
well as Senator Taft-might
undertake a national broadcast
for the ticket.
Since the July Chicago conven-
tion. where he helped Gen. Eisen-
hover win the nomination from
Senator Taft, Gov. Dewey has
been cast in the role of the Re-
publican Party's forgotten man.
If Gov. Dewey were asked to
take a more important role in the
campaign than he thus far has
assumed publicly. it was the con-
Sensus at Eisenhower headquar-
ters here that he would be asked
to appeal primarily to the voters
in the Eastern Seaboard States.
Gov. Dewey has planned to con-
centrate on New York State. He
has said he will stump the State
Plea for Assistance.
| That Gen. EisenhoWer's hackers
regard the election results as
touch-and-go was demonstrated
when Gov. Sherman Adams of
New Hampshire told the Citizens
for Eisenhower-Nixon meeting in
a two-day session here that with
out their help "all might be lost. u
| Gov. Adams. who has been de-
scribed by Gen. Eisenhower as his
personal boss" on campaign
strategy, predicted in a speech
before the group that independ-
ents would decide the election.
| Gov. Adams contended that
despite all of the moves made to
effect Republican unity, 'the soul
is Eisenhower in the campaign.
In March Gov. Adams had called
Senator Taft an ''isolationist" and
had claimed Gen. Eisenhower was
in the opposite camp on inter-
national affairs.
The G. o. p element which
fought Senator Taft's nomination
for President - including Gov.
Adams, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts, and others
was silent about the acquisition
of the new campaigner.

is mentioned that it was custom
to offer prayers or to study por-
ton Of the Mishnah when putting
up the tombstone or dedicating
it. It might be that the custom
evolved from the custom of pray
ing at the graveside whenever
one visited the grave. After the
stone was set up, it was quite
natural of the relatives to wish
to see it and so that visit called
for appropriate prayers like other
visits do. The idea is borne with
a simple desire-i. e. not to visit
the grave without a prayer or
some feeling of petition or peni-
tence.

QUESTION: What is the actual
reason for having a monument on
a grave? mrs. w. K. Savannah.
Georgia.)
ANSWER: Having a monument
upon the grave is one of the old
est Jewish traditions, having been
mentioned even as far back as the
days Of the Bible when Jacob put
up monument on the grave of
Rachel Genesis 35:2O). The Rab-
bis in the Talmudic literature and
subsequent Rabbinic literature
consider it an obligation. Several
reasons are offered. First, they
strongly urge the marker to be
set up so as to identify the grave
and serve as warning to the
KOhanim (members Of the family
Of Aaron and his descendants
from coming near the grave. The
later writings also consider it as
a matter of honor for the dead.
Subsequent sources also insist
that it is also for the use of the
living so that they know where
the grave of the deceased is in
case they have need to visit the
grave in times of need and trou-
bic. Consequently, the monument
has evolved both as service to
the dead as well as a service to
the living.
"a -
QUESTION: Where. in relation
TO the position of the body is
the marker placed?
ANSWER: In reality there are
several customs prevalent in diff
terent parts of the world. The
prevailing custom locally is to
have the monument placed at the
head of the person. There are
some customs which have the
tombstone placed at the feet.
Others have it placed right over
the grave. Some will insist that
it be placed without the range
Of the body. All of these have
one thing in common, and that
is that the monument is placed in
an upright position. There are
other customs, however, notably
in some sections in Jerusalem,
where the monument is placed
horizontally over the grave.

QUESTION: What is the origin
for the dedication service when
the monument is unveiled?
ANSWER: In ancient sources
there seems to be no such thing
as dedication or special serv-
