BURGLARS GET
$1,000 AT new
ROME Market

Lost estimated around $1,000
obtained by burglars who cracked
the safe at a New Rome super
market and postal substation late
Saturday or early Sunday.
Franklin county sheriff's depu-
ties said the loss was reported at
the u. S. Super Market, $3.50 w.
Broad st.
Russell Harrison, 657 Rome
billiards Rd. owner of the store,
discovered the burglary about 10
am. Sunday.
Harrison said he left the store
about 10 o'clock Saturday night.
When he returned yesterday MORN
ing to do some work, he found a
back door had been jimmied, then
discovered the safe lying on it's
back in the small office
Harrison was unable to esti-
mate how much of the loss was
in cash. He said the store also is
a collecting agent for the gas, tele-
phone and electric companies and
those receipts were among the
loot.
The burglars apparently had the
store well caSed," Harrison said.
Nothing else was disturbed and he
could discover no loss other than
that from the safe.
Harrison said the store cashes a
great number of checks. He asked
all persons who had cashed checks
there Friday and Saturday to con-
tact him so he can accurately tab
ulate his loss.

Visions Gigantic
Saving In Taxes

COLUMBUS, O.-Ohio taxpayers
would save approximately $149,-
100000 if Congress approves the
Smith-Coudert amendment to the
$4S, ,500,000,000 Defense Depart
ment Appropriation bill limiting
military spending to $46,000,0 ,000,-
600 for the next fiscal year begin
ming July /, according to the Ohio
Chamber of Com merce. The
amendment has been approved by
the House and is pending in the
Senate.
The sum that could be saved
Ohioans is approximately that of
total salary payments to Ohio
public school teachers, principals,
and supervisors in the 1850 1851
school year, amounting to $149,-
594,998, Ohio Chamber Executive
Vice President Herschel c. Atkin-
son said Tuesday.
Other comparisons cited by the
Ohio Chamber in terms of state
expenditures, showed that the
saving effected by limiting mill
tary spending, would be approxi-
mately equal total payments for
current operating expenses in all
Ohio city school districts in the
1950-1951 school year, amounting
to $143, ,235. 1863, or of total expend-
itures by Ohio county governments
for operation, maintenance, and in
terest in 1850, amounting to $137,-
008,438.
Estimate on the savings for Ohio
through defense spending limita-
ton was determined by the Ohio
Chamber on the basis of the per-
centage of all Federal taxes borne
by the States taxpayers. This
amounts to 5.98 per cent, which
applied to S2,5OO, 100000, the diff
erence between the $48, ,500,000,000
requested by the Defense Depart
ment and the proposed $46,000,-
100000 limitation, is $149,50O, 900.
Mr.. Atkinson said that adoption
by Congress of the limitation
amendment would reduce the ex-
down initiation. He pointed out also
that the limitation would stretch
out the mobilization program more
evenly. While it would permit a
necessary buildup of production
capacity, he said, it would also pre-
vent the filling of warehouses with
equipment which would be adequ-
ate for war today but obsolescent
tomorrow.

GREAT DANE:

NEW YORK - With his great
bulk, flowing beard and peg leg,
Peter Freuchen looks like an old
sea captain from the misty past
who accidentally wandered into
the Goth Century.
He was born in Denmark Ia
years before the turn of the CEN
tury and has been an explorer and
whaling captain. He has spent
about half his AZ years in the
Arctic.
His hefty 6 foot 5 frame strain
ed the canvas of the chair in his
modernistically furnished East
Side apartment as he looked at
his thick leather-encased peg leg.
| didn't mind so much" he
smiled. MY humor wasn't in the
left Leg"
Lost His Wife and a leg
That was i'm 1925 and a snow
storm was blowing in frigid Hud-
son Bay territory. He had become
separated from his party after
going back for supplies. He crawl
ed under his sledge to sleep. Next
morning he was showed in-and
without his snow knife.
Il didn't worry" he said. Il just
went to sleep again When / awoke
there was no feeling in my leg. 1t
took me four hours to crawl to
camp"
Later he said he chopped off his
own gangrenous toes and the next
year the leg came off below the
knee. His Eskimo wife died on
that trip.
But that wasn't Freuchen's most
fearsome experience in the North
land, That had come in 1918 when
he fell into a crevasSe in a Green
land icecap. He braced his body
against the sides to keep from
dropping thousands of feet further
His companions lowered a rope
Il never have been able to for
get the fear that the rope wouldn't
be long enough" he said He
thinks he will eventually die in
