$4,000 for two weeks period

Almost Half Inch of
Rain Falls In Area

Almost one-half inch of rainfall
fell on Garrett County during the
week. Most of this fell on Tues
day, although there was a slight
drizzle also on Monday.
For the balance of the week the
nights were cool and the days
warm, with yesterday being the
warmest of the entire week.
The rainfall was not enough to
raise the streams or end the
drought-like conditions prevailing
on the mountain top.

Pair Sentenced
To Ten Years
In SafeCracking

4 W. VI WV mn "A'@ 1N"@ 49,
pated in the safecracking at the
Fox hardware store in Friends
vile on July 30 were tried last
Friday in the Garrett County Cir
cult court and sentenced to ten
years each in the Maryland peni-
tertiary by Associate Judge Neil
C. Fraley.
They are Elwood Kissner, 26, for
merly of Friendsville, who had
been residing in Baltimore and Oil
yer Rocket, SO, also of Baltimore.
A total of $37,510 was taken
from the store safe with $4,000
of the total in non-negotiable U.
S. Savings bonds.
When brought before Judge Fra
ley the two men entered pleas of
guilty to grand larceny and break
ing and entering through their at
torneys, E. Ray Jones for Kissner
and William Treacy for Rocket.
Kissner, who had no previous
criminal record, told the court that
he was not Sc much interested in
the money but ''just wanted to see
a safe cracked" He also admitted
he fingered" the hardware store
for Rocket and the third man who
is still at large. Kissner said he
did not realize at the time that
the safe would contain such a large
sum.
! Judge Fraley told the men that
it was a serious crime and the
amount of money involved was the
largest sum ever stolen in the
county as far as he could recollect.
He ordered the money recovered
to be returned to the owner.
Rocket had criminal record
and admitted that he had burned
the $4,000 worth of bonds in the
back yard of his Baltimore home.
The two men were arrested a
few days after the crime in Balti-
more by police in that city who
acted on a "tip from reliable
source" About $4,400 was rccov-
cred from a rock pile near Friends
Vile Another $1,S65 was located
at the home of relatives of one of
the men in Richmond, Va. About
$785 was recovered from the men,
making a total of $1,000 to be re-
covered.
The third man, identified as
Earl Franklin, is believed to have
escaped with between $4,000 and
$4,000 of the loot. He was de-
scribed as professional safe
cracker.
The two men were scheduled to
be taken to the penitentiary this
week to begin their sentences.
In order to be brought into the
SllCulG COURT IOE UIIdl ldSC week,
the men waived their right to in
dictment by the grand jury and
asked for an immediate trial

Where Books Natter

Along with the announce
ment Of National Library
Week came the U. N. Report
Of the Special Committee on
the Problem of Hungary
which had a poignant para
graph about the hunger to
read in a country where it is
restricted to dreary propa-
ganda.
Describing the greed for
free writing that came with
the surge Of hope during the
victorious days Of the Hun
garian revolution. the re-
port says:
Support for the writer's
grievances was to be seen in
the eagerness with which the
reading public supported eff
forts to bring them examples
Of less constrained writing
than their own authors could
offer them. Reprints Of works
published between the World
Wars enjoyed a remarkable
vogue. Thus, a two-volume
selection from the works Of
an uninhibited humorist,
Frigyes Karinthy, who died
in 1888. was sold out in two
hours. while people struggled
in the bookshops for a publi-
cation containing transla-
tons Of foreign writer's. most
