County grand jury to report on
what they have found.
Leonard T. Hardy. states
attorney. said ne would call the
receivers about two weeks after
the jury convenes on March S.
The panel serves until Octo-
Der.
Mr.. Hardy said he has con-
suited Saul I. Stern, receiver
for the Family Savings & Home
Loan Association: Paul M.
Coughlan, receiver for Mutual
Security Savings & Loan ASso-
citation. and Charles Woodward,
jr., attorney for Earl Nash. re-
ceiver for the Military Service
Savings and Loan Association.
He added, Il can't put my
finger on any definite violation
yet" But, he said, he was still
looking into building and loans
it's still muddled."
He has no plans to call any
of the officials of the savings
and loan associations.
"Muddled" was the situation
which Mr.. Coughlan said still
persisted in the attempt at
Strengthening out the affairs OF
Mutual Security. There are still
gaps in the reconstruction OF
the records, he said, and he
has not yet determined the dis
position of the $3.3 million in
shareholders accounts.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Nash said his
office staff had completed the
return by mail in time - he
hoped-for Christmas delivery
of more than $55,O00 to ap-
proXimately 230 account hold

That's the only Christmas
present we had to offer" he
said. The money had been sent

many families was put off for
full year following visits from
at least one well-known lobby
iSt to the Governors office"
Mr.. Hume said.
Meanwhile, Gov. Tawes' cam
paign manager, Herbert r.
O'Conor, ir,, was making politi-
cal capital yesterday out of
Gov. Tawes' statement last
week that he gave the brushoff
to a savings and loan official
who is having troubles with the
law.
1t was reported that the Gov
ernOr and Attorney General
Thomas B. Finan, also running
for reelection on Gov. Tawes'
ticket, were under heavy pres
sure to slow down the pace of
the current investigation Of
savings and loan firms.
Action Commended
Gov. Tawes said he granted
an audience several weeks ago
to j. Kenneth Edlin after re-
ceiving two phone calls on Ed
Inns behalf from Representa-
tive Boykin, Democrat of Ala
bama. Edlin, a former convict,
is awaiting sentence in Balti-
more Federal Court on a charge
of mail fraud in connection
with promotional activities of
a savings and loan firm. Gov.
TaweS said he refused to talk
about savings and loan with
Edlin.
The manner in which Gov.
Tawes and Attorney General
Thomas B. Finan rejected lob
byistS' attempts to subvert en-
forcement of the savings ana
loan regulatory bill is to be
commended" Mr.. O'Conor said.
What is surprising" he said,
"is that these lobbyists had the
audacity to attempt obstruction
of enforcement of the savings
and loan regulatory bill in this
manner The Governors
declaration that there has been
and will be no interference
from his office in enforcement
OF the bill should serve as
warning to those foolhardy
enough to employ such shabby
maneuvers in the future"
Mr.. Hume countered: 1T was
not until the full force of public
opinion was aroused by our
press that Gov. TaweS really
did anything about the savings
and loan situation. He did it
when he forced to do it."

Slain Girls
Identity Still.
AMystery

Virginia investigators, who
have been working for a week

teen-age girl found slain beside
a dirt lane in Loudoun County,

not know her identity.

rison said the girl appeared to
be the victim of a sex flend.
She had been beaten, and
marks and scars covered her
back, side and legs.
An autopsy report from the
office Of State Medical Exam
iner Geoffrey Mann said she
had died about 2:30 am, De-
cember l6 of a severe blow on
the head which caused a brain
hemorrhage. She had not been
raped, the report said.

Americas Biggest
 Rocket Hunks Its First Public Demonstration

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. lR = After 18 successful secret test firings, Americas big gest rocket engine flunked it's first public demonstration.
 The mighty Fl, on which Amer ica has pinned its hopes of being first to put men on the Moon, burned for only l1x seconds We'd nesday before malfunction forced it to stop.
 It was scheduled to at least equal it's longest previous burn ing time of 20 seconds. In even that brief period, how ever, instruments showed it built Up a thrust Of a million pounds almost three times the power of an Atlas Intercontinental Missile. When working properly the Fl engine has a thrust of 11z million | pounds.
 Engineers explained after the failure that the extreme vibration
 of the engine had damaged 3
 switch on fuel valve, causing
 an automatic shutdown. l It was the first time newsmer
 had been allowed to witness ar
 Fl firing.
 The Fl is being developed b, the National Aeronautics ans

Now A Frozen Martini on a Stick ]!

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa R - A Cedar Rapids firm says it has successfully developed a frozen martini martini CT CT a stick.
 Cherry Burrell Corp. explained that it was only by-product it's research engineers turned out in fun while testing ultra-cold pro- cessing of food.
 While submerging bourbon, vodka and beer into liquid nitro gen sealing 320 degrees below zero fahrenheit they came up with bourbonsickles. vodkasickles and beersickles.
 Roy Follett, company official, said the process can be used on foods, including fruits and baked goods.
 ollett said bourbonsickles, martinisickles and other alcoholic beverages would burn like dry ice when frozen at 320 degrees below zero.
 But he said when they are al- lowed to warm up to about 80 degrees below zero they can be consumed without pain. They must be sorted in dry ice, he said. because they would mel, at temperatures in the ordinary home freezer.

Frontier Legend Born at Valdez $l, ,O0O Foot Race

VALDEZ R = Shades of the old Klondike and the jumping frog of Calaveras County!
 A new frontier legend was born here Wednesday with a high noon, $1,0O0 foot race down the main Street of this Alaskan city.
 Winner of the 100-yard race dubbed the Valdez Olympics" was Ralph Pedersen, Cordova fisherman whose wife is in Long view, Wn., and no man could use the $l 1000 for better purpose.
 He plans to use the money, plus the money he has made fishing. to send his wife to the Mayo Clinic for treatment of cerebral palsy.
 After he had defated Sven Jo- hanson, 37, famed Seward mara thon and Olympic skier by half step, he telephoned his wife.
 Honey" he said, you're going to walk!D
 The race was born Tuesday night in bar owned by Chuck Egan, brother of Alaska's Cover nor, William Egan. It started as conversation, and before the eve ming was over, John Goeres, Cor dova fisherman, declared:
 "We'n put up the best runner we have here against the best you can find around Anchorage or Fairbanks.
 Goeres and his wife, Sandy, put Up the $1,000.
 They called Iohanson and of fered to pay his way to Valdez, and the Seward marathon runner accepted.
 As large crowd lined tho street and cannery whistles blast ed encouragement the two men lined up. Pedersen was wearing long trousers and Johansors wore shorts. Both raced in tennis shoes
 No one thought to time the racers.
 There was a holiday spirit in the little town anyway as fishermen are enjoying the first salmon bonanza in many years. Wednes- day was closed fishing day
 After the race, Petersen offered Johanson half the purse. His of fer was refused.
 Keep the money for your wife, Johanson said.

TINTED STATES troops were still
- relatively secure in Fort Sumter,
although their reinforcements on the
steamship Star of the West had been
denied by South Carolina cannon. Sum-
ter at least was being held. Less defens-
ible Federal property in the South was
falling almost daily to State forces with
no sign of resistance. By midJanuary,
only one other installation besides Sum-
ter was defying Southern seizure. This
was Fort Pickens, Fla, also pitifully
undermined.
Brief dispatches in The Star related
this parade of bloodless military losses.
The accounts, coupled with long follow
up stories detailing the Star of the West
incident, formed an ominous pattern.
The news from two Southern State capi-
tails did nothing to brighten the pattern.

opening lead: Diamond deuce.
West leads the deuce of dia-
monds and you begin to regret
your bidding when you see the
dummy. Your partner would
easily win nine or 10 tricks
at no-trump.
Still. you're not yet worried
aboutemaking four spades. You
play the queen of diamonds
from dummy. East covers with
the ace and you ruff.
You say you don't ruff? You
discard the deuce of clubs in
stead of ruffing? Congratula-
tions. You've made a beautiful
play and let's hope you'd do
it even if you couldn't see those
five trumps in the West hand.
No Further Trouble
You have no further trouble
after this fine discard. You can
draw five rounds of trumps and
can enter dummy with the jack
of hearts to discard another
club on the king of diamonds.
The you take the rest of the
hearts, winning 10 tracks.
Life would be miserable if
you ruffed the first diamond.
You would eventually lose a
trump and three clubs.
You may feel that the 5-l
trump break is too unusual to
bother about, but the point is
that it costs you nothing to
be careful. East's bid locates
the ace of clubs. so you should
expect to lost three club tricks
no matter how you play the
hand. Why waste a trump?
Daily Question
The bidding begins with one
diamond at your left, double
by your partner, redouble by
the other opponent. You hold:

What do you say?
Answer: Pass. 1t is up to your
partner to rescue himself from
the redouble. If he bids one
heart. you will pass until dou-
bled. Then you will bid one
spade. Give your partner as
much chance as possible to get
out at an undoubled contract.
