Police Spur Search
For New Suspect in
Turnpike Sayings
BY the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. The
latest lead in the Pennsylvania
Turnpike shootings set off a
two-State search today for a
25-year-old man described as
possibly armed and dangerous. "
Hunted on a Pennsylvania war
rant for Investigation of mur-
der" was John Wesley Wable,
who disappeared Monday from
a rooming house in which he had
been living here.
Two Pennsylvania State pa
trolmen, meanwhile, prepared to
return to Harrisburg, Pa, for
ballistics tests on a German
made pistol that might have
been used in the shootings last
July. Bullets fired by the weapon
in a preliminary test we're sent
there yesterday.
Two truck drivers have been
shot and killed recently in their
rigs parked along the turnpike.
Another trucker was wounded
seriously while sleeping in his
truck near Lisbon, Ohio. Tests
showed all three apparently were
victims of the same .32-caliber
weapon.
Caliber Similar.
Detectives said the German
pistol linked with Wable was a
.765, about the same as a 80,
and that it fired slugs with
markings very much like" those
on the bullets in the trucker
Shootings.
The search for Wable started
after police, checking a pawn
shop, found a watch fitting the
description of one taken from
John K. Shepard. "a, of West
Alexander, Pa, when he was

similar voice.

pike were Harry F. Pitts, 80. of

depths of his soul, I remembered
it was the anniversary of the

Rev. ]. r. Evans, who accepted
the pastorate of Mt. Zion Bap-
fist Church during my girlhood
days. Later he erected a great
monument at the corner Of N. W.

A LETTER FROM
LANTAFF

Dear Neighbor:
Would you favor a Federal
general sales tax?
This was the fifth of IL queS-
tions your Congressman sc'-"' ~
his "sidewalk-survey" through
out South FIoI4Ga al
ton of the survey TO date indi-
Gates that n percent of the folks
participating in the survey an
Swered with a reSounding mol
Twenty percent indicated appro-
val of federal general sales tax
and three percent failed to eX-
press an opinion.
The sales tax trial balloon"
was launched by the Treasury
Secretary Humphrey few
months ago with a statement that
a Federal general sales tax was
being considered along with
some 40 other revenue raising
measures.
The trial balloon" has had
rough going. It has been pitched
and tossed about in an ali of IN
certainty and contradiction. Some
felt the Presidents Boston speech
pointed to such a tax although it
was not specifically mentioned.
Representatives Noah Mason, Il
inois Republican and high rank
ing member Of the tax-writing
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, declared short time later
that he had it on good authority
that the President is planning to
ask Congress to enact national
S percent retail sales tax. Then
last week the President refuted
this by stating no consideration
was being given to a retail sales
tax. This swings the trial bal
loom back toward such tax at
the manufacturers level.
It doesn't seem 20 matter what
type of Federal general sales tax
might be considered, the major
ity of those participating in your
CongreSSman's survey expressed
definite opposition 10 its enact
ment. One lady in Coral Gables
opposed such tax at the ma4lu-
facturers level because ii would
only be another hidden tax" 4
gentleman in Hialeah said a re-
tail sales tax would hurt the
middle and low income groups
more than any other tax. a group
in Homestead felt that 70 pass
such tax on 10 the manufac-
turer would raise the cost of ART
icleS and catch the consumer in
the end. Another group put il
this way, "a tax IS easy TO enact
but almost impossible 20 elinin-
ate. If We have . have ne taxes

his head or lifts his eyes to hea-
ven, thanking God for giving him
a message. He should not be dis
turbed by pulpit associates for a
hand shake. They, too, should be
praying. The worshippers should
not rush forward to shape the
ministers hand but should hold
their seats and if overcome by the

REV. J. w. DRAKE
Rev. J. w. Drake who came to
Miami long years ago and watch
ed the growth of this city, was
much loved and respected not
only by this community, but
throughout Florida. This great
warrior loved young people. He
believed and expressed conf
dence in the youth of his race
and saw to it that many boys
and girls were given an oppor-
tunity to prepare themselves for
service in Florida Normal. Dr..
Drake erected a great monument
on N. w. 3rd ave. between 18th
and l4th ST. that can be pointed
too with pride by the youth of
his race. It's a lighthouse for God.
This fearless minister loved his
bible an despecially Eph. AS,
"One Lord, one faith and one
baptism" This charitable prince
was a great supporter of Florida
Normal and served until death as
a member of the trustee board.
DR.. brakes name, like many 9TH

go down in history and will al

The world will little note, but
Congress at last has remem-

created 18 years ago to plan a
highway connecting the Lincoln
Memorial with the Gettysburg
battlefield.
The original resolution pro-
vided that the 13-member COM
mission would expire within a
year after completion of the
parkway. The parkway never was
completed. In fact, it never was
begun. The commission merely
spent some time and $4,000
studying routes suggested by the
old Bureau of Public Roads.
The House agreed yesterday
that such deliberations would be
superfluous now in view Of State
highway improvements between
here and Gettysburg. So the
