Nobody Won
The settlement of the steel strike—which gave payroll increases 
of 39 cents an hour to the steel workers—is surrounded
by a very big IF.
The IF has to do with whether the settlement will be followed 
by increases in steel prices that will set off a new round
of inflation. That question, apparently, will be decided by the
union attitude toward proposed changes in work rules designed 
to increase man-hour productivity and so offset the wage
boost in whole or in part.
An observation made by the Portland, Oregon, Journal, is
very much in point; "On the surface, labor can say that it won
this strike, but really, nobody won. The steel workers will never
recover what they have lost in wages. The strike has lost markets 
for U.S. producers to foreign competitors which they may
never regain. And if it proves to be the stimulus of new inflationary 
spiral which runs throughout the economy, the cost
to all segments of our people will be incalculable."

The principal, Leonard Redden,
44 then strolled from the Hartford 
City Elementary School with
his 12-guage pump shotgun still in
his hand. He got into his car and
drove calmly through the community 
of 8,500 persons where he had
been one of the most respected,
best -liked men to town.
Roadblocks were thrown up
around Hartford City, state policemen 
swarmed into town, and an
airplane cruised the area searchtog 
for Redden's car. But he was
still at large hours after the killings. 

Redden went gunning for the
two middle-aged teachers without
the slightest warning. Although his
wife said he had been nervous
and under a doctor's care, there
was no apparent motive or reason
for the slayings and not a single
black mark on Redden's 19-year record 
as a teacher.
He later committed suicide with
the same shotgun.
The body was found about six
miles from this quiet community
of 8,500 persons where he had
been one of the best-liked men in
town.
Police said he had turned the
death gun on himself after trying
to flee by car and by foot. A posse
to police, sheriff's deputies and
State policemen, aided by a hellcopter, 
was closing in when the

body was found.
An hour and a half after classes 
had begun In the 12-room buildingr 
Redden walked into the first
floor classroom of the assistant
principal, Miss Harriett Robson, 52,
a teacher at the school for 32 years.
While the fifth grade children
screamed, the tall, dark - haired
principal calmly raised his gun
and killed Miss Robson with a
blast in the chest.
Mrs. Dorothy Markin, vice -president 
of the schools Parent -Teachers 
Association and mother of
Doug, one of Miss Robson's pupils,
said "the kids huddled in a corner 
of the room. Miss Robson fell
on the desk and then rolled off
to the floor, breaking her glasses."
The blast had shattered the
quiet of the school, but Redden
paid no attention. He left his victim 
on the floor, walked up a
ramp to the school's second floor
and entered the classroom of Mrs.
Minnie McFarre, 62, a teacher of
41 years experience at Hartford
City.
She, too, was teaching her pupils, 
and she too, was killed by a
single, close - range shotgun blast.
The children in the two classrooms 
were all eyewitnesses to Redden's 
guilt, but, he didn't harm
a one of them. The four other teachers, 
in the school, one of them
Mrs. McFarren's sister, also escaped. 

Janitor Silas McCaffrey watched
the gun-carrying principal leave
the school without a sign of emotion 
and drive off in his 1952 gray
and grenn Ford.
In the school, teachers hurriedly 
gathered the children and told
them to run home. The children
ran for blocks through freezing
temperatures, many without hats
and coats.
One of the children ran into the
nearby grocery store of Mrs. McFarren's 
husband.
Your wife's been shot," the
child said.
Police fearful that the principal
was still armed and stalking the
town, put armed guards, around
the school. Classes were dismissed
and terrified children were taken
home by bus. Armed men accompanted 
each of them.

COED SNATCHED FROM
HER INTENDED MATE
Blonde
coed Dorothy Lebohner, 18, and
the Negro basketball star she twice
slipped away to Join vowed Wednesday 
they would wed "as soon
as possible" despite their parents'
objections, to mixed marriages.
The pretty, blue-eyed daughter
of the treasurer of Alfred University 
touched off a police search
Tuesday when she disappeared
from her room in the Biltmore Hotel 
for a tryst with the man her
parents were taking her to Florida 
to "forget."
She and the man, 6-foot, 4-inch
Warren Sutton, 20, were found
Tuesday night holding hands to
the balcony of a Times Square
theater where "Time of Desire"
and "Tides of Passion" were playing. 
She wore a cheap wedding
band on the third finger of her

left hand.
Both said they had rendezvoused 
with the idea of getting
married despite their parents objections. 

In Chester, Pa., Mrs. Leroy Sutton, 
wife of a steel worker, said
she was against her son's romance
"from the beginning when I found
out about it, and I'm against it
now. It's all a mess."
"This kind of marriage has a
rough time," Mrs. Sutton said.
Police charged the girl with being 
a wayward minor for "willful
disobedience of the lawful commands'' 
of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Edwar K. Lebohner.
She was returned to the small
university town 70 miles south of
Rochester with Alfred Police Chief

Walter Rounds.
In a final embrace with Sutton
in the police station just before
being taken into custody by
Rounds, the girl told Sutton, "Listen, 
honey, I want you to go home
and finish your education so we
can get married. I'm going to finish 
mine, and then I'll see you."
Sutton who left Alfred University 
last December, indicated he
planned to return to his home in

Chester.
Dorothy's father said he disapproved 
of the romance because
"mixed marriages have an almost
impossible, chance of succeeding."
"Young people have been taught
that this is one world, and the
idea has caught on," he said.
"Many of Dorothy's young friends
simply can't understand our opposition 
to her marriage to Sutton." 

Her parents said Dorothy had
disappeared once before to join
Sutton. She left Alfred the day
after Christmas and returned Jan.
3, after meeting him to Newark,
N. J.

TOUGH SADDLE
By MATT STUART
© By Matt Stuart, 1959; from the Dodd, Mead & Co. novel;
distributed by King features Syndicate.
SAGE WINGO had the dismal
Knowledge that he'd missed
putting a slug into Link Asbell
with every try even this last
time Asbell speeding across
the street.
He'd been upset by whoever it
was that had bought in on the
fight, up by the Imperial. Now
the whole play was sour, with
Asbell on this side of the street
and closing in. The smart thing
to do was get out of the alley,
and to fast!
Wingo Whirled into the alley
depths after his horse. But the
clatter and bellow of gunfire had
the animal edgy, and when Wingo
tried a grab for the reins, the
horse spun farther away.
At the corner, Link Asbell listened 
only a moment, then swung
into the alley, close pressed
against the scuth wall of it. And
then, into the curdled blackness,
where a horse wheeled and trampled 
and its owner cursed, he
drove a, bullet.
The report, rolling heavy along
the alley, decided it for the horse.
It raced for the open night, and
Sage Wingo, trapped and desperate, 
came around and fired a final
shot down the alley's narrowness.
Just to one side of the flare of
Wingo's gun, Link Asbell placed
one shot, then placed another a
little to the other side.
It was the second slug that
counted. Under the impact or it,
Sage Wingo's heavy head jerked
Backward and he was instantly
dead, the lead shattering its way
through his skull.
Up at the Imperial, Ben Dillon
came hurrying into the street,
wondering at the shooting and
the cause for it. Just past the
end of his hitch rack, he tripped
over a sprawled and motionless
figure.
Down on one knee he scratched
a match, and by its small flare,
had his look. He swore in short,
startled wonder. For he was
looking into the dead face of
Bardo Sampson.
Out at Running M headquarters 
the sunlight of a new day
sprayed its bright her through
window and open door. In the
ranchhouse kitchen, Mandy Madison 
and Sue Vincent were combining 
forces in cooking.
The Skirl of wheels and thump
of trotting hoofs took Sue to the
window.
"It's Doc Jerome," she announced. 

When he came quietly into the
kitchen, Sue thought she'd never
seen Doc so sober and contained
as now, Premonition stole
through Sue, and she fixed Doc
with a straight, searching glance.
"There's been more trouble,

Doctor? Something else has hapned?" 

Doc nodded. "Plenty has happened." 

A great terror lashed through
Sue.
"Link!" she exclaimed. "Oh,
Doctor-not Link-?"not Link—?"
"No," Doc said gently, "not
Link. He's all right. But I may
as well tell you all of it, for it is
the sort of thing best got over
quickly."
So then he did tell them. He
told of the deadly violence that
had stalked the streets of Garrison 
town this past night. And
finally, he told of how, While the
town was still in wild uproar
vet these grim facts, Joe Orr,
the cook at Double Diamond, had
riden a foaming horse into town
with the word that Jonas Dalmar
ty dead out at Double Diamond,
victim of the bullet of some unknown 
killer.
"Unknown, that is, until a later
development turned up," Doc ended. 
"Wingo's horse, after spooking 
out of the alley, ended up
hunting company at Jigger Henley's 
livery corral.
"Jigger discovered the animal
and got the hunch to look through
Wingo's saddle bags. In one of
them he found a certain sack of
money. Joe Orr recognized the
sack. He said that more than
once he'd seen Jonas Dalmar payng 
crew wages out of it".
"Then." said Mandy Madison,
"it was Wingo who—"
"Hardly any doubt of it" Doc
said. "He killed Jonas Dalmar,
all right How's Prank this morning? 
He awake?"
"Yes," Mandy nodded and
I was wondering if we should
feed him a little" of the gruel I
have for Neis?"
"I should think so," Doc said.
"With the bad news he's got to
listen to, a little nourishment
might help to offset it. Though
over the long haul, he'll probably
realize it has all been for the
best."
Sue questioned him tautly. "Is
Link still in town. Doctor?"
Doc shook his head. '"He probably 
went right on along to Big
Five."
Sue looked at Mandy Malison.
"If I left for a while, would you
mind'"
Supremely wise, Mandy answered 
warmly.
"My dear, of course I don't
mind, T once heard my Nels say
that when the chips were down.
Link Asbell tat a mighty touch
saddle. Be that as it may the
man's mortal and right now he'll
be needing understanding, Sue.
So you run right along."
She rode at s reaching, distance-eating 
lope, watching, eagerly 
as Big Five headquarters lift,
ed from the plain and grew steadily 
closer. She saw Asbell's horse.

still under saddle, standing by
the corrals.
She pulled tip beside the buckskin 
dismounted and crossed
straight to the ranch office, There,
as she had hoped, she found him.
He was slouched far down in
his chair, his hat on the floor beside 
him. He had the look of a
man who had been savagely beaten, 
but with all the bruises inside.
She stood, looking down at him,
and slowly spoke.
"Doctor Jerome came out to
Running M. He told us all of it
Oh, Link—Link—what have you
been through?"

CHAPTER 36
By MATT STUART

distributed by King features Syndicate.
SAGE WINGO had the dismal
Knowledge that he'd missed
putting a slug into Link Asbell
with every try even this last
time Asbell speeding across
the street.
He'd been upset by whoever it
was that had bought in on the
fight, up by the Imperial. Now
the whole play was sour, with
Asbell on this side of the street
and closing in. The smart thing
to do was get out of the alley,
and to fast!
Wingo Whirled into the alley
depths after his horse. But the
clatter and bellow of gunfire had
the animal edgy, and when Wingo
tried a grab for the reins, the
horse spun farther away.
At the corner, Link Asbell listened 
only a moment, then swung
into the alley, close pressed
against the scuth wall of it. And
then, into the curdled blackness,
where a horse wheeled and trampled 
and its owner cursed, he
drove a, bullet.
The report, rolling heavy along
the alley, decided it for the horse.
It raced for the open night, and
Sage Wingo, trapped and desperate, 
came around and fired a final
shot down the alley's narrowness.
Just to one side of the flare of
Wingo's gun, Link Asbell placed
one shot, then placed another a
little to the other side.
It was the second slug that
counted. Under the impact or it,
Sage Wingo's heavy head jerked
Backward and he was instantly
dead, the lead shattering its way
through his skull.
Up at the Imperial, Ben Dillon
came hurrying into the street,
wondering at the shooting and
the cause for it. Just past the
end of his hitch rack, he tripped
over a sprawled and motionless
figure.
Down on one knee he scratched
a match, and by its small flare,
had his look. He swore in short,
startled wonder. For he was
looking into the dead face of
Bardo Sampson.
Out at Running M headquarters 
the sunlight of a new day
sprayed its bright her through
window and open door. In the
ranchhouse kitchen, Mandy Madison 
and Sue Vincent were combining 
forces in cooking.
The Skirl of wheels and thump
of trotting hoofs took Sue to the
window.
"It's Doc Jerome," she announced. 

When he came quietly into the
kitchen, Sue thought she'd never
seen Doc so sober and contained
as now, Premonition stole
through Sue, and she fixed Doc
with a straight, searching glance.
"There's been more trouble,

Doctor? Something else has hapned?" 

Doc nodded. "Plenty has happened." 

A great terror lashed through
Sue.
"Link!" she exclaimed. "Oh,
Doctor-not Link-?"not Link—?"
"No," Doc said gently, "not
Link. He's all right. But I may
as well tell you all of it, for it is
the sort of thing best got over
quickly."
So then he did tell them. He
told of the deadly violence that
had stalked the streets of Garrison 
town this past night. And
finally, he told of how, While the
town was still in wild uproar
vet these grim facts, Joe Orr,
the cook at Double Diamond, had
riden a foaming horse into town
with the word that Jonas Dalmar
ty dead out at Double Diamond,
victim of the bullet of some unknown 
killer.
"Unknown, that is, until a later
development turned up," Doc ended. 
"Wingo's horse, after spooking 
out of the alley, ended up
hunting company at Jigger Henley's 
livery corral.
"Jigger discovered the animal
and got the hunch to look through
Wingo's saddle bags. In one of
them he found a certain sack of
money. Joe Orr recognized the
sack. He said that more than
once he'd seen Jonas Dalmar payng 
crew wages out of it".
"Then." said Mandy Madison,
"it was Wingo who—"
"Hardly any doubt of it" Doc
said. "He killed Jonas Dalmar,
all right How's Prank this morning? 
He awake?"
"Yes," Mandy nodded and
I was wondering if we should
feed him a little" of the gruel I
have for Neis?"
"I should think so," Doc said.
"With the bad news he's got to
listen to, a little nourishment
might help to offset it. Though
over the long haul, he'll probably
realize it has all been for the
best."
Sue questioned him tautly. "Is
Link still in town. Doctor?"
Doc shook his head. '"He probably 
went right on along to Big
Five."
Sue looked at Mandy Malison.
"If I left for a while, would you
mind'"
Supremely wise, Mandy answered 
warmly.
"My dear, of course I don't
mind, T once heard my Nels say
that when the chips were down.
Link Asbell tat a mighty touch

man's mortal and right now he'll

So you run right along."

closer. She saw Asbell's horse.

the corrals.
She pulled tip beside the buckskin 
dismounted and crossed
straight to the ranch office, There,
as she had hoped, she found him.
He was slouched far down in
his chair, his hat on the floor beside 
him. He had the look of a
man who had been savagely beaten, 
but with all the bruises inside.
She stood, looking down at him,
and slowly spoke.
"Doctor Jerome came out to
Running M. He told us all of it
Oh, Link—Link—what have you
been through?"
"Hell!" he answered tonelessly,

Boys seal To Prison
For Slaying Man
Two teen-age boys who
slew a man because he reprimanded 
them for making lewd remarks
to a group of girls, received 5-10year 
sentences after they pleaded
guilty to a manslaughter charge.
A third youth, Thomas L. Douthit,

Massive Health
Insurance Program
For U.S. Workers
The
federal government is preparing to
blanket its employees with massive
health insurance program.
The federal employees Health
Benefit Program, now being whipped 
into shape by the Civil Service
Commission, was authorized by
Congress last September.
It will go into effect during the
first pay period to July.
The law gives the government
worker a choice of one of four basic
health and medical insurance
plans. The government will pay
up to 50 per cent of the cost. The
remainder will be deducted from
the employees salary.
Commission officials estimate the
government will pay out $117,500,000 
during the first year, This will
cover an estimated 1,800,000 employes 
during the first year and 2,200,000 
dependents.
The official said minimum payments 
would run about $150 biweekly 
for the individual and $3.20

BUYS BOYHOOD SCHOOL
Seems like
old times for Robert A. Wilbur;
Who attended a one-room school
30 years ago. He bought it and
made It into the home where he
lives.

San Francisco Star Willie Mays,
Highest Paid Player In Baseball




Later, when Mays entered organized 
baseball and the majors, he
continued his phenomenal playing.
He has been alternatively the National 
League's most valuable player, 
batting and slugging champion,
homerun King and fielding leader,among 
other things. In 19954, for
instance, he almost single handedly
powered the then New York Giants
to the NL pennant.
Small wonder, then, that the present 
Ban Francisco Giants team
has rewarded his long endeavors
with a $85,000 contract for the 1960
season- Willie deserved and more.
But it was also indicative of the
Mays tradition of achieving things
in grand style.

The $85,000 also meant Stoneham
has kept his promise to Willie. In
1956 when Mays signed for reported 
$40,000 and fans and critics
complained that the Giants were
underpaying him, the bespectacledGiants 
boss reportedly, assured
Willie he would Eventually reach
the charm circle. And he did. Now
with another good season in 1960
Mays may well reach the $100,000
mark in 1961.
Mays started his baseball career
in the Negro American League.
After playing high school and
semi-pro ball in Birmingham, he
joined the Black Barons in 1950
and immediately became a star,
Batting 311 in 80 games, he pounded 
out 90 hits in 289 times at bat,
and sparkled afield.
The baseball magnets of organized 
baseball, heartened by the success 
of Jackie Robinson, heard
about Mays and sent scouts to the
Barons games to watch him play.
In June of 1950, the Giants made
the move which proved so rewarding 
in the succeeding years. "The
Polo Grounders signed Willie to a
Minneapolis contract and optioned
him to Trenton-'of the Interstate
League. Again Mays came through
to a big way. He batted 353 in 81
games at Trenton and just missed
beating out Dan Scholl of Wilmington 
for the league's most valuable
player award.
From Trenton, Mays moved to
the Minneapolis Millers, a class
AAA team in the American Association, 
He was even more spectabular. 
The then 19-year-old Mays
batted a tremendous 477 in 35
games and pounded out 71 hits in
149 times at bat. Of his 71 safeties
29 were for extra bases. He also
blasted 8 homeruns and, flashed
speed on the basepath.
That was enough to impress Leo
Durocher, then manager who prevailed 
upon the Giants brass to
elevate Mays to the parent club
Mays joined the Giants with this
recommendation from Tommy
Heath, his former manager a
Minneapolis: "He (Mays) coven
centerfield like a tent.". And Willie
has been doing that ever since.

homerun King and fielding leader,among 
other things. In 19954, for
instance, he almost single handedly
powered the then New York Giants
to the NL pennant.
Small wonder, then, that the present 
Ban Francisco Giants team
has rewarded his long endeavors
with a $85,000 contract for the 1960
season- Willie deserved and more.
But it was also indicative of the
Mays tradition of achieving things
in grand style.

The $85,000 also meant Stoneham
has kept his promise to Willie. In
1956 when Mays signed for reported 
$40,000 and fans and critics
complained that the Giants were
underpaying him, the bespectacledGiants 
boss reportedly, assured
Willie he would Eventually reach
the charm circle. And he did. Now
with another good season in 1960
Mays may well reach the $100,000
mark in 1961.
Mays started his baseball career
in the Negro American League.
After playing high school and
semi-pro ball in Birmingham, he
joined the Black Barons in 1950
and immediately became a star,
Batting 311 in 80 games, he pounded 
out 90 hits in 289 times at bat,
and sparkled afield.
The baseball magnets of organized 
baseball, heartened by the success 
of Jackie Robinson, heard
about Mays and sent scouts to the
Barons games to watch him play.
In June of 1950, the Giants made
the move which proved so rewarding 
in the succeeding years. "The
Polo Grounders signed Willie to a
Minneapolis contract and optioned
him to Trenton-'of the Interstate
League. Again Mays came through
to a big way. He batted 353 in 81
games at Trenton and just missed
beating out Dan Scholl of Wilmington 
for the league's most valuable
player award.
From Trenton, Mays moved to
the Minneapolis Millers, a class
AAA team in the American Association, 
He was even more spectabular. 
The then 19-year-old Mays
batted a tremendous 477 in 35
games and pounded out 71 hits in
149 times at bat. Of his 71 safeties
29 were for extra bases. He also
blasted 8 homeruns and, flashed
speed on the basepath.
That was enough to impress Leo
Durocher, then manager who prevailed 
upon the Giants brass to
elevate Mays to the parent club
Mays joined the Giants with this
recommendation from Tommy
Heath, his former manager a
Minneapolis: "He (Mays) coven
centerfield like a tent.". And Willie
has been doing that ever since.
