By Current Leak

FORT WAYNE. Ind, Dec. 26
lR).-Two teen-age boys who
had been missing since Friday
night were found electrocuted
outside a Fort Wayne salvage
firm yesterday.
Deputy Coroner Victor Noel
Ter said Richard Rudnick. Is.
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Rud-
nick of Fort Wayne, and James
Karl Brown, 16, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Brown of near Fort
Wayne, had been dead at least
~ hours.
Detective Capt. Richard Cleve-
lond said the youths came in
contact with live utility pole
guide wire after scaling a wall
surrounding the American Iron

Broken insulators had caused
a 25,000-volt power line to feed
the current into the guide wire,
linemen said.
The boys were found sprawled
face down outside the building
by three youths passing by.

outstanding forward step of this
generation in speeding up the
ordering of worldwide supplies
for the Air Force"
This communications service
began last April. Air Force
spokesman said it reduces time
needed for ordering supplies
from weeks to a few hours.
Transmission from overseas is by
radio and in this country by
leased telephone lines.
Looking ahead, spokesman
foresaw a gradual reduction in

said there will be an increase in
the production of missiles.

aircraft production would level
off to the rate required to sus-
tain a 137-wing air force.

If you ever do John Wayne
a favor. he's so grateful that
he's not only your friend for
life but he carries you on his
payroll for life as well. And
since John began his movie
career in 1929, there isn't one
person who has been good to
him that he has not repaid
over and over again.
Take Paul Fix, for example.
This friendship dates back to
the early sos when Paul was q
well-eStablished actor in gang
ster movies then very popular.
The vogue for these pictures
suddenly ended and things
were rough for Paul. He A.
nally landed a job on an eight
day western that John was
making at Republic Studios.
Paul stopped Wayne's fall in
q fight scene and they got to
talking.
II like the way you talk"
said John. How would you
like to write some of the dia-
logue for my pictures?" Wayne
also made sure Paul had q
role in every one of his films.
AS the years passed, Paul be-
came a top dialogue director
and was offered contracts by
many major studios. But he
always refused them to stay
with John Wayne.
Gront Whithers, Too
Grant Withers, another
Wayne buddy. was once a top
star at Paramount and mar
ried to Loretta Young. When
Paramount dropped Withers
and his marriage dissolved,
Grant used a well-known
method to try to forget his
troubles. He had been out of
work for eight months when
he landed a bit role in a
Wayne picture. Between shots,
John and Grant got to talking
and Wayne discovered they
had many interests in COM
mon, particularly hunting and
fishing. John saw to it that
Grant had a part in all his
movies. And made him stick
to water before and after
meals.
Al Murphy was an extra
years ago at Republic when
John was getting started In
pictures, in three-day West
erns. AL liked John, or Duke"
as everyone calls him, and
voluntarily parked his car, took
care Of his wardrobe and
looked after him generally. AS
Wayne grew in stature as an
actor, he put Murphy on the
payroll as his driver. When he
learned that Murphy sup
ported five children-two of
his own and three of his sis
ter's-he vowed that Murphy
would always work for him.
Today. Al Murphy is second
assistant director on every
John Wayne picture. AIS real
name is Harry Silverman, but
John rechristened him "Al
Murphy" insisting, You're an
lrishman."

to be an expert with guns and
