Mrs. Meyer Cites Key Role
OF Middle-Aqed Women

EAST LANSING. Mich. April
10 (P.-The middle-aged woman
has awakened to the fact that
she, too, exists in a social vac
uum. Agnes E. Meyer said last
night.
Youth and old age have their
problems. she said, and it was
inevitable the middle aged
woman should realize hers.
But, Mrs. Meyer said in an
address at the School of Home
Econmoics Centennial Sympo-
SUM at Michigan State College,
she should learn to see herself
as the crux to this whole condi-
ton of social confusion in a
fragmentized society"
"She is the link between the
young and the Old" Mrs. Meyer
continued. "She has leisure to
devote herself to the common
good. and, frequently. the flnan-
cial resources to put her ideas to
work"
Yet in this country, Mrs.
Meyer said, there probably is a
greater waste of woman power
than in any other, especially in
the niddle-aged group" She
added:

Road Tolls Endless,
Weeks Comedies
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Commerce Weeks
conceded yesterday it is pos
sible" that tolls could be COLI
lected indefinitely on sections of
the Administrators proposed
interstate highway system.
Mr.. Weeks testified before the
House Public Works Committee
at a warm leadoff session at
House hearings on the admins
tration's proposed highway con-
struction program.
The question of charging tolls
on sections of the federally
financed system was raised by
Representative Gentry. Demo-
icrat. of Texas, who said the adj
ministration plan had "evil po-
tentialities."
He commended it would "en-
courage States to build toll
roads to meet their share of
the cost of the proposed inter-
state system, and would permit
collection tot tolls for so or
20 years.
Under the administration
plan the Federal Government
would reimburse States for the
cost of toll highways incor-
porated into the system.
Mr.. Weeks told the commit
tee that the necessity for an
interstate system of express
highways within a 10-year
period "justifies unusual pro-
cedure and credit financing"

Suspect Seized
In 100000 Theft

DUNEDIN, Fla, April 10 DR.
The sharp eyes of a small town

arrest yesterday of a former
cafeteria manager wanted in a
bizarre Miami Beach theft case,
Fred A. Thomas, as. of Miami
Beach was arrested by Dunedin
Police Chief Eugene Sheets and
Miami Beach Police Detective
George Green on a charge OF
grand larceny.
Chief Sheets reported Thomas
said he had only about $4,000,
but when the money was counted
at the Bank of Dunedin II
totaled $60,480.
He said Thomas admitted he
took the money, but denied he
stole it from Albert Napientek,
so. former Milwaukee optome-
triSt.
Mr.. Napientek was found dead,
apparently of a heart attack, in
a Miami Beach hotel room last
Wednesday. He left a note say
ing Thomas had "stolen a dark
brown suitcase containing two
bank books and a large amount
of cash."
The amount first was believed
to be about $92.500. Thomas had
spent about 5000. the police chief
added.
Detective Green said Thomas
maintained that Mr.. Napientek,
with whom he had been friendly,
gave him the money with the
remark IT would rather you had
it than my wife in Milwaukee.
Chief Sheets spotted Thomas
Thursday near an elementary
school. looking closely at the
children. At that time there
was no alarm out for him.
Again on Friday the officer
saw the redhaired man looking
over the small children. The man
made no attempt to modest the
children, but Chief Sheets
checked up and found he was a
new arrival at a motel.
Sunday he saw a picture of
Thomas in a newspaper as a man
wanted in the Miami Beach case.
Chief Sheets telephoned the
Miami Beach police and Detec-
tive Green few here yesterday
morning with a warrant.
