Friends" Show Up
In DroVeS When
Maid Gets $4,000

cleveland, ONO NP)-MOney
may not be everything, but it has
a certain way of helping one to
acquire scores of new friends"
This is the plight of Mrs. Louise
billiard, At, an obscure housemaid.
That is, she was obscure until she
was requested S18O,OOO in the will
of a wealthy Shaker Heights widow
for whom she had worked for 20
years.
Since news of the bequest was
published, Mrs. billiards. home has
become the mecca of an unending
pilgrimage by visitors, her tele-
phone jumps off the hook daily,
and her mail has increased like the
flow of Christmas greetings.
Few Crank Calls
The cheery-faced Mrs. billiard
goes about her home duties as u.s.
ual, "gratified at the flow of con-
gratulations' from her true friends
and "mystified at the unusual in
terest displayed by strangers"
On the credit side, Mrs. billiard
revealed, there have been few if
any crank calls from persons OBJ
viously with Interior motives.
This is somewhat understand
able when newspaper account of
her good fortune warned that all
proportions and new friends may
form a line to the right leading
to the offices of her attorney"
Calls 1t Thrilling
Actually, it has been rather
thrilling, the kind of interest and
attention I have received" con-
fessed the genial former house
maid.
Attention has increased so great
ly she has grown shy about public
exposure - even appearing in
church.
II know I've got to get over it,
but, after all, nothing like this
ever happened before naturally
and just don't know what to do"
Letters Tell OF Suffering
She has had plenty of sugges-
tons?
Letters of congratulations also
carry stories of suffering that
could be "alleviated" with "a small
loan, like $3.50, or So"
One woman she had never seen
before found her way into the Dill
lard home one morning and re
manned until that afternoon, visit
ing, and explaining her personal
problems"
A rising stack of mail from
real estate firms is included, with
fabulous offers of property deals
which don't interest Mrs. billiard at
the present. 1T can become boring,
after a while. All want is a little
peace and quiet in my own chosen
way and another good dollhouse
work-that will provide me with
the freedom to attend church more
regularly" she said.

Not Inevitable,
Walker Says

LOS ANGELES, Jan. II
(AP(.-Retired Maj. Gen. Ed
win A. Walker says he does not
think it is inevitable that the
United States will remain in
the United Nations.
Gen. Walker, who quit the
Army in November after a con-
troVerSy over his troop lndoc-
trination policies, spoke at a
rally in the Sports Arena, Spon-
sored by a Freedom Club of the
First Congregational Church.
The 52-year-old Texan said
OF another retired general,
Omar Bradley:
Gen. Bradley holds to a
doctrine of 'inevitableism.' He
feared a mistake over Berlin
between the United States and
the Soviet Union. He said the
recognition of East Germany
is inevitable. He said the recog-
milton of Red China is newt
able.
Il disagree with him on every
opinion. I do not agree that
it is even inevitable that we
remain in the United Nations. :"
In New York Gen. Bradley's
office said there would be no
comment on the Walker speech.

Youth in Assault
Gets Six Months.
Judges Advice

A District Court Judge to-
day gave a SiX-month jail SEN
tence to a 19-year-old youth
after warning him that assaults
are no way to vent your spite
spleen or hatred"
William A. Dummy Staples
OF the 1400 block of Saratoga
avenue NE, pleaded guilty to
assaulting a lawyers son last
July outside a downtown res
taurant.
Staples, charged several DAYS
ago in another case with un-
lawful possession of heroin, also
faces charge of concealing
the fatal shooting last October
OF Fred Roberts, a drug Of
fender.
The youth, who is appealing
another assault conviction in
Municipal Court several months
ago, said he had nothing to
say as Judge Charles F. Nc
Laughlin prepared to sentence
him.
The judge, noting that a
probation report said Staples
showed an inclination . for
fighting and violence" told the
defendant that this way of life
is mo good to anybody.
Don't spend your time while
you are in jail figuring out
what you are going to do to
somebody when you get out.
Make a determination to avoid
anything of this kind in the
future"
AS Staples left the courtroom
on his way to jail, the judge
stopped the youth to say that
the six-month sentence "doeS
not mean everybody's against
you"
"Everybody's for you If you
observe the law" the judge
said.
