The Board told Delk to corns back when he has obtained the proper papers. Delk said he would be back within the 30 days set by the board. Alembers of Un-American Ac-f that Duggan had been named by Church of God in Christ, said he was making the offer because the life sentences were "a gross miscarriage of justice." The woman and sons, Rosa Lee, Sammie and Wallace Ingram, were convicted of murder of a 66-year-old White farmer in South Georgia There were no witnesses and they claimed self-defense.

Delk told the Parole Board he would pay all moving expenses of the family to Christian county, furnish a "well-improved farm of not less than 50 acres, a good milk cow, a couple of hogs, 100 chickens and $100 in cash." The Ingrams would be allowed to live on the farm for five years without paying rent, Delk said. All expenses would be borne by his own church and seven other Hop-kinsville churches. The preacher contended the Ingrams were convicted on circum-stancial evidence. They were first sentenced to death but Judge W. Harper commuted the sentences to life imprisonment.

Delk contended that this was evidence that the judge doubted the validity of the case. The Parole Board said they could not reopen the case until Delk obtained satisfactory evidoroe of his power of attorney for the Ingrams. tlvities Investigation Board Seem Destined to be Dog ged by Death and Other Hard Luck Isaac Don Levine, a friend of Chambers, as one of six men in the government who had provided secret information to the spy ring.

Last Christmas he'd thought, when he gave Sally the inexpensive little china dinner set, next Christmas I'll give her something really nice. Something she can wear and enjoy. Something expensive.

It'll not be practical to fit our Christmas budget, because by then I'll be making more. The tide was bound to turn by next Christmas. Well, it had turned all right. Fate could have been less callous in the direction to which it had turned the tide. It was even worse this Christmas than it was! last.

At least Sallj Chambers mention Duggan as one of the sources of spy material. But Chambers told reporters in New York that he had not named Duggan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24 (UP) They are beginning to hang the 'jinx" sign on the House Un-American Activities Committee's investigation of alleged Communist espionage within the government. Three persons whose names have figured in the case have died since he inquiry opened last summer.

The chairman of the Committee, Rep. J. Parnell Thomas, N.J., has been indicted by a federal grand jury on payroll kickback charges. Two Republican members of the committee were defeated in the November election. Whittaker Chambers, the ex-Communists whose charges brought the case into the open, felt compelled to resign his $25,000 a year job with Time Magazine.

Alger Hiss Is One Alger Hiss, ex-state department official named by Chambers as a Communist Agent within the government, has been indicted for perjury and has submitted his resignation from a $20,000 post as President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The resi-ignation has not been acted upon however. Mrs. Chambers was involved in a fatal automobile accident last Friday when her car struck a pedestrian who died of the injuries. At the time she was enroute to the Baltimore station to pick up Chambers who had been testifying before the New York grand jury investigating espionage.

She is now free on charges arising from the accident. Heart Attack Fatal Death first struck Harry Dexter White, former treasury official named by Chambers as a figure in a Washington Communist "apparatus." White appeared before the Committee in August and denied the allegations. He seemed to be in good health, and to enjoy lengthy and sharp exchanges with the Committee. A week later he died of a heart attack. Plunge in Stair Well Then, a Justice Department Attorney W.

Marvin Smith, plunged to his in a stair well in the Justice Department building here. Smith's connection with the case was nebulous. He had notarized a document transferring title of a car once owned by Hiss, and which, according to Chambers, Hiss had insisted on giving to "some poor Communist Party organizer." The committee never conclusively established what became of the car. During the course of the hearing Hiss acknowledged that he knew Smith and professed personal admiration for him. Duggan Most Recent The third person connected with the case to die was Laurence Duggan, President of the Institute of International Education and a former State Department official.

Duggan leaped or fell to his death from his sixteenth floor office in New York City Monday night. After his death, it was revealed 'SJ I 1 0 1 Bill looked up from his overcoat collar. "Hey, be careful!" he shouted. wasn't out making the living and he. a big hulk of a man, staying home.

The doctor had said he'd overcome the heart condition with prolonged rest. People were talking. Bill knew. He'd been standing near the living room door the other day when he'd heard Kate Tyler, their neighbor, talking to Sally in the kitchen. "Well, it just looks a shame that you, such a frail little thing, must work.

Bill looks the picture of health. He weighs something near one hundred eighty pounds, doesn't he, Sally?" Plate said, and Bill had visioned with burning resentment her sharp, in-everybody's-business nose twitch with inquisitiveness. Bill visioned too, Sally's pretty proud head lift when her voice had come in quick sensitive rebellion, "I believe it's my affair about working. I really i.on't need to work. We have plenty saved up to take us through until Bill is able to go back SINCERE iitaiAi IPs i Two of the best joys of Christ-, mas are having good friends and wishing them a great deal of happiness.

I'm working because I want to." He'd felt like a cad. There wasn't another guy in the whole universe had a wife like Sally, who through her loyalty would even tell a falsehood. Sally didn't deserve the hardship he was giving her.

And now with Christmas upon them and no money of his own, unless he sold his best suit to the re-sale shop down the street, he felt it would be even better for his old heart to quit ticking than to face it and have Sally say, "Oh, you didn't need to give anything, BilL All I want is you! We'll have a real Christmas when you get well." Bill put on his overcoat, hat and galoshes. It was about time to meet Sally coming home from work. Cold rain interspersed the snow and already the highway In front of their place was getting coated with ice. Cars moved along cautiously. Their neighbor's boy.

Pike, eleven, slid by him on a sled, "Whee-e-e, watch me, Mister Bill!" Bill looked up from his overcoat collar. "Hey, be careful!" he shouted and went into action with a leap when he saw the sled carrying the boy from the sidewalk Into the direction of an approaching car up the highway. It all happened in a flash. If Bill hadn't been gigantic in size, muscular and agile with youth, he couldn't have saved the boy. "Man, Pike," he panted, standing over him on the sidewalk, "don't play along the street!" i "Aw, I could've made it, Mister Bill," Pike said, and dashed back 'up the street with his sled, A large man emerged hurriedly 'from the big car on the side of the pavement and came up to Bill.

"I'd pay a thousand or more to escape what might have happened just now. Think what Christmas would have been for me 'if it had happened, to say nothing of the kid's parents.
