BOSTON. Aug. 10 (Ap) -
About 30 policemen with drawn
guns last night broke up q
threatened street gang war
with whites on one side and
Negroes on the other.
Twenty-six were arrested and
about 15-all Negroes-were

Police said the youths were
armed with clubs and knives.
Some Of them battled with po-
lice before they submitted to
arrest.
Police Sergt. John Pastore Of
the Roxbury Division, where
the outbreak occurred, said the
dispute was the outcome OF
continuing hostilities between
q gang Of Negro youths and q
gang Of white youths.
1t was the third outbreak Of

Pete Jones: We transmit your order to

what I'm really looking for
is a second income.

One day a somewhat hesitant - but very
charming-woman came into the Office of
a Member Firm and asked if she might
see Registered Representative. She was
shown into Pete Jones' Office. And the
conversation went something like this:
The Vs0man: My name is Otter Miss
j. c. Otter. Now are you the person
who will buy stocks and bonds for me?
Pete Jeaes: That's part of our job, Miss
Otter. | will be glad to help you. So would

tives-or a Partner.
Aaiss Otter: Well, then I suppose you're
the right man. But you see, now, what I'm
really looking for is a second income.
Pete Jenss: That's another part of our
job, Miss Otter and an important part.
To help people invest sensibly to try to
help them get the kind of second income
they're looking for. I'll be happy to talk
over your detectives with you.
Miss Otter is remarkably like many other
women, and men, who are looking for a
second income to extend their paychecks.
And like them, she soon found out that
the best way to start is to get some good
advice. The place to get it is, Of course,
at the office Of a nearby Member Firm of
the Exchange.
Facts and advice about investing are basic
to the service offered by Member Firms.
Altogether, they spend millions on research
to get facts. Whether you are Just get
ting started, like Miss Otter, or are an
experienced investor, this service is at
your disposal.
Member Firms are subject to the strict
rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
Registered Representatives have to pass
an examination about their knowledge of
the securities business before they can
serve investors. Their personal integrity is
also carefully examined.
When you visit a Registered Representa-
tive, don't be concerned about the amount
you have to invest. Many people start with
the convenient Monthly Investment Plan
and become part-owners of a company
for as little as $40 every 3 months up to
81 900 a month.
OF course, you should never invest on tips
or rumors. Whether you decide on common
stock or preferred stock or bonds what

Arlington planners have
drafted an elaborate highway
program which would crisis
cross the county with a web
Of high-speed thoroughfares
and widened avenues.
The program has been pre-
pared for the inclusion in the
master plan now being formu-
lated for Arlington.
The highway network would
contain five major new arteries
designed to sweep commuter
traffic quickly through the
county.
Planners say it also would
purge any neighborhood
streets of heavy traffic and
facilitate north-south travel
within the county.
According to the thorough
fare map drawn by highway
experts, the network would BIZ

require numerous huge inter-
changes.

MSU laboratory. The procedure
takes only a few minutes, and
is relatively painless.
However, although countless
persons are afflicted with warts,
Prof. Mack doesn't have enough
for his research.
One reason, he says, is that
many people think they can
treat themselves.
For example, an "old wives
tale" recommends eating an
apple, rubbing the core on the
wart and then burying the core
in the light of a full moon.
The tumor may vanish later,
the professor says, but only by
coincidence. He explains that
warts sometimes disappear of
their own.
He's looking particularly for
new warts on young persons.
WED like some real fresh
ones which are more likely to
have a live virus" he says.

Warts, though generally nom

He hopes such a discovery
might help the fight against

support would be lent to a
theory that a virus causes other
