New Home For Disabled Man

cries.
Some people hate a home with
memories" he said. "Me-I love
it because they are all pleasant
memories"
Bob, who made his observations
from a wheel chair, was given the
home yesterday by Harrisburg
residents.
The 32-year-old former Marine
was permanently disabled while
fighting fire here 16 months ago.
A spinal injury, suffered when a
wall collapsed, paralyzed him from
the waist down.
Members of the Riverside fire
company, of which he was a men,
Der, began a door-to-door fund
drive and had the house built for
Bob at an estimated cost of $780,
900.
when 1 was lying in the hos
pital for II months after the ac-
cident, things looked pretty dim, "
he recalled.
'Then, out of a clear blue sky,
I get this beautiful home given
to me and about all I can do is
get all choked up and start to
sniffle.
81 even caught myself crying
last night when people dropped by
to welcome me into my new
home"
The new home, a sprawling,

ranch-type building, is completely
equipped with the latest appliances
and fixtures. Wolfe, his wife and
their daughters, 4 and S, had lived
in rented two-Story house In CEN
trail Harrisburg.
'The best part of the whole
thing is that now l can manage
to get around my home because
it is all on one floor" Bob said.
Referring to his future, Bob
says:
II am receiving some insurance
to take care of me and my fam
lily and l intend to learn some
job that l can do at home to keep
my time occupied"
"They tell me that the money
was donated in everything from
nickles and dimes to large bills, :"
he said.
Along those lines l figure at
least $4,000 persons had a hand
in this.
"Yep, / got a brand new home

considerable renown. As a result OF
a shooting affray, Belle is about
to be lynched when couple of the
outlaw Dalton boys rescue her.
This touches off hectic romance,
and also a series of episodes in
which Belle and the Daltons dou-
blecross one another.
But Bellies big romance is with
the gambler whom she first en-
counters when she holds up his es-
tablishment. Later, with larceny on
her mind, she buys partnership
in his business, but her plans to
make a big killing are changed
when she finds herself falling in
love with him. And in a spine =
tingling climax, Belle is forced to
accompany the Daltons on a dar-
ing million dollar raid.

|InStrand Movie

With his role as a Confederate
captain behind the Union lines dur.
ing the last days of the Civil War
in "The Siege at Red River" to
open at the Strand Theatre Thurs
day, Van Johnson further affirmed
his reputation as one of Hollywood's s
most versatile stars and one of its
most durable military men. Van,
whose co-star in the film is jeanne
Dru, has beein in uniform for al
most half of his A movie roles to
date. He wore his first army uni
form in "The War Against Mrs.
Hadley" IL years ago and has ap-
peared as a member of various
forces in "A Guy Named Joe, "
battle-ground" and "The Caine
Mutiny," still released, among a
long list of his combat epics.
After finishing 1.-The Siege at Red
River" and his first role as Con-
federate soldier, Van was convinc-
ed that a soldier in enemy terri
tory 80 years ago took just as many
risks and had just as adventurous
a time of it as soldiers in the same
spot today.
For his role as Captain Farra-
day, Van was called on to ride a
horse for the first time and here
again he demonstrated his versa

urged to spread the load as far
and as eQuitably as possible
among all taxpayers.
While the tax increases were
not criticized as being either
too high or too low. the sales,
cigarette and gas levies came in
for slashing attack.
Sees Business Chased Away.
Mr.. Mcmillan based his re-
committal move on opposition
to the gasoline and cigarette in
creases. Contending that such
increases would chase business"
away from District retailers to
Maryland and Virginia. he said
the Commissioners fought to
have their heads examined" for
supporting such moves.
The South Carolinian said he
favored higher application of
the general sales tax to raise
whatever new funds are needed.
Most Of the support he got
in debate for the recommittal
motion. however. came in pro-
tests against the proposals to
tax groceries / per cent and to
lower the sales tax exemption
on meals.
Representative Bonner, Demo-
crat. of North Carolina, in an
exchange with Mr.. Harris, said
the committee was STOPPING so
low that it is putting a tax on
food that goes into a little baby's
mouth"
Mr.. Harris retaliated that %
States have full sales taxes on
groceries, and noted that many
such States also do not exempt
meals from sales levies.
Representative Andrews, Dem
ocrat, of Alabama, urged that
the District take over the opera
ton of liquor stores as q more
equitable means of raising funds.
He said Is States having such
retail liquor monopilies in 1852
sold 1923 million worth of liquor,
on which they realized 5000 mil
lion in revenues.
Mr.. Smith, whose State of
Virginia has State-operated
stores, said he was sympathetic
to the proposal, but urged that
it should be considered sepa-
rately and not as part of the
works bill.

Montagna to the police head
quarters where they met Piero

gether and stayed more than an
hour. On emerging, said Anna
Maria, Montagna told her:

The Black Swan stayed on the
stand six hours, Keeling of the
names of Montagna's associates
and expanding on the details of
his personal life. BY the time she
stepped down. the Montesi case
had become the juiciest scandal
in years.
No such performance was
forthcoming from Muto's second
girl witness. Adriana Biscaccia
made a number of confused
statements. then broke down and
denied any knowlege of the case.
Muto had badgered her with so
many questions, she said, that
she might have told him some
things that weren't true.
Altogether, it was pretty thin.
Although the Communist pa
pers continued playing the story
in the blacklist headlines and
using it as a club to beat the
government, the general reaction
was one of skepticism. It was
pointed out that Anna Maria
Caglio had offered no shred of
proof to support her charges
against her former lover and
that she knew nothing of his &C
tivitieS except what he himself
had told her. Both witnesses,
furthermore had dubious repu-
tationS and both were believed to
have theatrical ambitions. A
total of IS SANDER suits were
filed by people named in the
course of the trial. Many Others
were inclined to laugh it off.
Muto, the saying went, was try
ing to make a Montagna out of

from the files of the Carabinieri.

Shaking hands in the glare of
flash bulbs, the national chair
men Of Americas two major po-
litical- parties greeted each other
on a flrst-name basis last night.
Hello" Steve" said Repub-
lican Leonard w. Hall cheerily
as he met his oft-time verbal
opponent at an unusual joint
press conference.
Hi. Len" replied Democrat
Stephen A. Mitchell with a smile.
The press conference preceded
dinner meeting Of Philadlphia's
Committee Of Seventy" a nom

calls itself a watchdog of poll
tics" in the City of Brotherly

were guest speakers.

back to 1888. including an eight
months Jail sentence for check
forgery. Montagna was also
charged with having been an
active blackmayketeer, a pro-
curer. catering first to the FascistS
and later to the Americans, and,
possibly. buyer of narcotics.
Montagna denied all Of these
charges, and produced a list of
SO impressive witnesses who. he
said. would testify in his defense.
He also released, by way of re-
taliation. a batch of imprisoned
letters written to him by Anna

Police Chief Resigns.
Nevertheless, the public clamor
revived with redoubled intensity.
The same night that the Cara
binieri report was released, Pre-
mier Scelba's government came
under heavy fire on the floor of
parliament as the opposition
called for the resignation of Po-
lice Chief Pavone. The police
chief resigned next day. declar-
ing himself innocent of any mis-
conduct and calling for a thor
ough investigation.
For his part. Mr.. Scelba vowed
to see the case through to the
end. Rafael de Caro-. a mem

eign Minister Attilio Piccioni.
one of the big three of the Chris
tan Democrat Party had offered
his own resignation swept
through the city.
After a five-hour cabinet
meeting last week, this rumor
was officially spiked. The for
eign minister, said the commu-
nique, would stay on in the COM
plete confidence of the govern
ment. The government. further
more, would steer clear Of any
action that tended to undermine
public confidence in the police
or usurp the powers of the judi
ciary.
The Montesi case, however, is
far from over. There is promise
Of more startling testimony to
come and even bigger names to
be involved. The libel actions
resulting from it will certainly
go on for years. Expanded and
distorted far beyond its original
proportions, it is hard to trace
the story back to Wilma Montesi
and the grim little tragedy on
the beach at Ostia. But at this
point, no one seems to be too
worried about that.

What comment have you on
the nations economy?
Mr.. Mitchell: TITS obvious the
economy is suffering. Unem-
ployment has risen and there are
conditions and problems which
require definite action"
Mr.. Hall: 81 recall that in
1850, during the previous admin
istration, when unemployment
reached a total Of 4,700,0 900,
Democrats were still calling that
prosperity. They've changed
their tune today. although I be-
lieve the latest figures put un-
employment at about 3.700. 000."
What will be the issues in the
next election?
Mr.. Hall: voters will be con-
cerned with the scorecard on
the Eisenhower administration.
They'll be pleased, I'm sure, with
our progress on the Presidents
forward looking program"
Mr.. Mitchell: "The important
question is how is the Eisen-
hover administration running
the Government and how is it
handling. for instance. present
economic conditions and other
problems. I think Republicans
are putting more attention on
running for Office than running
the Government"
VIII communism be an issue?
Mr.. Hall: 1.-THE people are
entitled to the facts"
Mr.. Mitchell: 1.-The issue won't
be communism because I don't
know Of anybody in favor of it.
Everybody's against it and that
doesn't make an ISSUE"
Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Mitchell
both attended Georgetown Uni
versity Law School but didn't
meet each other until they be-
came party chairman. Mr..
Mitchell said their paths have
crossed only three times in their
present posts.
In their dinner speeches, Mr..
Hall and Mr.. Mitchell urged
greater participation in Govern
