2S Years in Man S Head,
Knife Blade Is Removed
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4. -
Part of a three-and-a-half inch
knife blade has been removed
from 44-year-old Harry Stones
head after being imbedded there
unknown to Mr.. Stone-for
% years.
Mr.. Stone, a chemical worker,
went to EinStein Medical Center
last Friday complaining of a
severe headache which had
plagued him for the past few
years.
X-rays disclosed the knife
blade. Mr.. Stone recalled hav-
ing been stabbed in a street fight

blade broke of and passed up

The rest of the knife will be
removed in a later operation.

barons who opened the range
with one hand and closed it with
the other. Tracy's acting, to-
gether with the discerning direc-
tion of Edward Dmytryk, comes
close to lifting Broken Lance"
to something better than mere
topflight entertainment.
That 1t does not quite succeed
is the fault of a script that lacks
originality and proves thin under
the weight of the extravagant,
vividly tinted CinemaScope pro-
duction.
Nevertheless, watching Tracy
give his associates an acting les
son is. in itself. justification for
seeing the goth Century-Fox
whopper. Also there are a pair
of commendable secondary vir-
tues in the film, one some haunt
ingly handsome Western land
scape, another a musical score
that strikes the ear pleasantly.
The producing studio shoots
the works to make Broken
Lance" a suitable frame for the
senior member of its flve-Star
cast, the others of whom are
Richard Widmark, Jean Peters,
Katy Jurado and Robert Wagner.
In the pictures vast, lonely
paradise setting Tracy is intro
duced as Matt Devereaux, a cat
tie king of the old school. Matt
lives not so much beyond the
law as above it. He possesses
virtually everything he wants, a
herd of $4,000 cattle, stage
governor to whom he holds a
tryant's title, and an indomin-
able energy that bellies his lined.
leathery face and his snowy hair.
There are two ranking forces,
however, which gnaw at old
Matt's lust for power. One of
these is the community's nom
acceptance of his second wife, an
Indian princess, and mother of
his fourth son. The other is that
law and progress begin to i'm
pinge on the Devereaux empire
in the form Of a copper mining
outfit that drains it's poisonous
Sludge into the ranch'S cattle
streams.
~
These haraSSmentS provide
Tracy's man with pair Of stren-
uous conflicts in his later middle
years; and they also provide
Broken Lance" with consider
able vigorous movement. They
are all the picture needs when
Director Dmytruk's cameras are
fixed on Tracy. When he is in
charge old Matt may not be an
admirable figure. but he is a
compulsive one.
This. unfortunately, is more
than can be said for Broken
Lance" when it turns to the
secondary romantic element in
which Wagner, the half-breed
son, finds himself courting Miss
Peters who comes from family
suffering from race prejudice.
Richard Murphy's script could
not be more excellently inten-
toned in this area. but his lovers
come of as a callow pair inter-
rupting the spectacle of Tracy
creating a tour de force.
It is reflection of Tracy's
complete dominance of the huge

This 10 the third Of a series Of
four conferences being held In Flo

Powers said more than 100 con-
ferences Of this type have been
scheduled this year by the FBI
on the regional basis throughout
the United States and are design
ed to cover confidence game swim

thefts and other varied violations

The conferences win be aimed
at bringing about additional coordi-
nation among law enforcement
agencies and improved efficiency

will be operated on a forum basis

Of information and knowledge by
all participants.
Powers Illustrated the import
ance Of the meetings by pointing
out that the FBPs investigative
activity under the Interstate
Transportation Of Stolen Property
Statute has increased greatly dur
ing the past several years.
For example, he said there were
407 convictions resulting from FBI
cases in this category during the
1853 fiscal year, an increase Of Is
per cent over the preceding year.
He stated he feels the confer

enforcement agencies, not only in
this area, but throughout the coun-

Although the conferences viii
cover numerous types of crimes,
Powers said the three main phases
of discussion viii concern fradu-

In the panel onfraudulent checks,
the discussion will include infor-
nation concerning the methods OF
operation most often used by bad

ties in a criminal case even
though a Federal violation may not
be involved.
The discussion on confidence
game swindles viii relate closely
to the major theft panel, since in.
