Missing Man S
Clothes Found

WILDWOOD. Fla. Oct. 81 (P9.
Investigators seeking Jesse
Woods. 39-year-old NegrO who
allegedly said hello there, baby"
to white school teacher, heard
reports today that he was hauled
out of his City Jail cell and
severely beaten by a group of
white men. but was left alive.
Woods has not yet been found.
He was taken Sunday from a cell
that bore marks of violence, in
Guiding bloodstains and a broken
lock.
A blood -stained shirt and hat
Woods wore to Jail were identi-
fled yesterday.
Two investigators were ques-
Itioning men who apparently saw
the night violence. One of the
witnesses said Woods was fiogged,
but was alive and that he was
left on little-trsveled road near
here.
Woods was placed in Jail at his
own request for protection. He
had been booked earlier on
charges of drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct, but had been
released.
He was back a few minutes
later, asking to be locked up
again, because, he said, white
men in cars had followed him.
Sheriff M. C. Bowman said he
thinks Woods is alive, but added
that he had nothing to support
the belief.
City Police Chief Ed Mullis
said Woods had denied making
the familiar remark to the white
teacher, Mary Evelyn Hill.
But the chief added, He also
denied being drunk. He was,
and he was boisterous."
The shirt and hat were picked
up In patch of sandspurs only
four blocks from the City Jail.
The buttons were gone from the
shirt and it was f1ecked with
blood.

Learning Today For Living Tom0rro

FTNEIS SECOND school issue of The Sunday Star
i Magazine is different from last years-and
for an important reason
Last year, we started with kindergarten and
worked our way up through elementary and junior
senior high schools. But all education. from the
lowest to the highest, is aimed at fitting one for
life. AS Mrs Lucille Sheriff points out in the
interview starting page IL, girl who wants to
become a good secretary should get into good
grooming habits early" And M/Sergt. Stuart
Alfred Queen (see page 22) makes much the same
point in advising boys interested in careers in the
Army, Air Force Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard-that the things he learned as Boy Scout
have helped him in the service
So, this time, we have placed the emphasis on
the results of all the years you spend in school.
What kind of man woman will you be? How
: will you earn your living? And how can you best
ft yourself for your chosen field?
We began by asking more than 1900 of this
years high school graduates what occupations
they hoped to follow. Thus we determined the
most popular" fields among todayS boys and
girls. Then asked successful person in each
of those fields to give young readers-and their
parents, too-the benefit of their experience.
The results are the interviews starting on page
g. Whether you high school student, an
elementary pupil just little boy or girl getting
ready for your first day in school, you should find
these interviews helpful. eve realize, of. course,
that the very small fry will not be able to read
them now, but there is nothing to prevent parents
saving them for future reference)

nursing social service, home economics, business,
laboratory technician, art, airline hostess and
religion
The most surprising result of the survey was
the popularity of the military services. Whatever
the explanation, picked enlisted man for our
interview because that is what the overwhelming
majority of boys will be. Not to overlook the
minority, however, we obtained this bit of advice
from Gen. Curtis E. LIE May, commander of the Air
Forces Strategic Air Command:
IF were student today, would concentrate
on such subjects as engineering physical sciences
and eectronics would also engage in such extra
curricular activities as working with radio and
electrical equipment And would read extensively,
particularly in the fields of history, geopolitics,
political science and government
Advancement in the military depends on the
same qualities of success which mark civilian life
hard work and interest in the job you're doing"
We also asked Secretary of Labor Mitchell to
advise our young readers He pointed out that the
odds to l today that young person will need
a high school diploma to land a beginners
job, and that unemployment declines with increas-
ing amounts of education.
Unless each and every young person deter
mines to get much education as is possible" he
warned, I'VE may find that the unlimited horizons
of the future are, in actuality, no more than
mirageS at the edge of waste"
This, then, is an issue of The Star Magazine
devoted almost entirely to education and to those
unlimited horizons-for all the Washington areas
men and women of tomorrow.

Plans for Hospital
In Silver Spring

Support Of a plan to build
a hospital in Silver Spring. Md,
is contained in a 24-page report
prepared by a Washington con-
sultant firm.
The Silver Spring Hospital
Association announced last week
1t will submit a bill to the Mont
gomery County Council asking
issuance of SO million in con-
struction bonds for a Silver
Spring Memorial Hospital.
Another 81 million to complete
the project would come from
Federal funds and from private
donations.
The report, prepared by the
consultant firm of Gordon A..
Friesen Associates, Inc. states
that there is an imperative"
need for the proposed 200 to 900
bed hospital.
The report adds that "as the
years pass it may be necessary
for other hospitals to be built
in strategic positions" in Mont
gomery County.
The legislation proposed by
the hospital association would
call for the bonds to be paid
off by a special tax on the
18th election district. The in
corporated communities Of Ken
sington and Takoma Park would
be exempt from the tax.

ciaD The Maryland Water Re-
sources Board has approved in
principle the plans of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. to build
a 500 million power plant on
the shores of the Potomac River
near Dickerson, Md.
The tentative clearance came
at the end of a two-hour hear

alton to throw a low dam across
the Potomac, to provide water
for cooling generators of the
steam plant.

the project would await submits
sion of detailed working draw

In the meantime, he said GER

will be revealed in a few days,
he said.
The hearing marked the latest
development in See-saw battle
between Loudoun County, Va,
and Montgomery County, Md,
for location of the plant.
PEPCO bought options last
year in Loudoun, but later
shifted its site planning to the
Maryland side of the river when

that tax benefits from the plant
would go to an area in which

The water program had the
backing of Mayor John Wood
