One of the most insidious and fastest-growing gyp scnemes nourishing in the nation today is the work-at-home" racket. Lumpers Wild Throw Gives Till To Twins The Star's Washington Bureau Washington A govern ment loan of $422,000 to put a shoe factory in Salem, was wholly needless, a just-published magazine article declares. The Area Redevelopment Administration advanced the sum to the Salem Redevelopment Corporation to buy land and put up a building to lease to the Bata Shoe Company. ARA hailed the action last week as a boon to Indiana, and government officials gath ered at Salem to praise the program when the factory opened. BUT CHARLES Stevenson, writing in the current reader's Digest, quoted the shoe com pany president as saying the factory would have gone to Salem anywav.

without the Federal monev. Stevenson said, "the Bata Shoe Company, the refugee Czech concern which from base in Canada operates in 79 countries, is now using an ARA-financed factory at Salem, Ind. The plant is bur dening the abundantly sup plied U.S. shoe industry with 40,000 pairs of shoes every week. In 1963, ARA advanced the Salem Redevelopment Cor poration $442,000 to purchase land and construct the build ing to be leased to Bata.

ARA also handed over $235,000 more than half of it an out right gift for Bata's water and sewage facilities and do nated $64,000 to train work ers. Bata paid for nothing ex cept its machinery.

Postmaster General John A.

Gronouski said yesterday Milwaukee is the first major post- office in the nation to have this system, which has been tested in Minneapolis. The data such as mail volume, vehicle scheduling and other management information will be transmitted to a highspeed computer located in the Minneapolis postal data center for analyzing and evaluation. The results will then be sent back electronically to Milwau kee for use by the postmaster. STRICTLY BUSINESS By DALE McFEATTERS "I've a feeling some changes are going to be made."

(AP) Eleven- year-old John William Carries, missing since he started home from a boy's club meeting Fri day night, was found brutally slain in a railway underpass today. Coroner Willard Blood said it appeared the lad's skull had been crushed with a chunk of flagstone as he put up a fierce struggle for his life. The coroner said a struggle was indicated because tne boy's belt was found nearby, torn into three pieces, and his trenchcoat was pulled over his head. A 15-20-pound piece of flagstone was found near the body in the blood-splattered underpass on Santa Fe Railroad property at the north edge of Joliet. THE VICTIM was the eldest of nine children of Mr.

and Mrs. John Carnes. The youth vanished Friday after leaving the George Buck Boys Club at 8:30 p.m. To walk to his home three-quarters of a mile away. Police, civil defense workers and off-duty firemen searched all day Saturday and yesterday morning, when the body was discovered.

A team of experts from the state police crime laboratory flew to the scene from Springfield. The coroner said investigators made casts of two sets of footprints found near the body. Carnes is a farmer who said he planned to move next week from his residence in Joliet to a farm. Young Carnes was in the fifth grade at Lincoln School. NEW DELUXE BLDG.

acneme: Clip newspapers at home, earn $75 a week selling local press mentions to individuals and companies at $1 to $5 apiece. Catch: "Instructions" cost up to $15 (often shoddy, badly mimeographed, unpro fessional), and you must sub scnoe to the newspapers yourself. You also must find your own markets tor your clips. Scheme: Raise animals bull frogs, foxes, minks, muskrats, etc. at home and sell them for fabulous profits.

Typical ad says: mere is big Money in raising bullfrogs. Start in your backyard. We furnish breeders and instructions and buy what you raise." Catch: Breeders are exces sively priced, potential prof its are grossly exaggerated and animals bought back must be "in a healthy and marketable condition." Of course, they never are so judged by a gypster, and frequently the fine print you never read stipulates the animals must be skinned and butchered before they will be bought. au int fMUUs go appealing to the poor and lonely, feeding on the fact that there are legitimate deals for making money at home. Here are the most obvious earmarks of the fraudulent scheme: 1.

"Misuse by advertisers of help wanted columns to offer or imply the offer of home employment when in fact the advertiser is selling something, not hiring." 2. A promise of huge prof its or big part-time earnings. J. a prolusion ot vague testimonials to the deal. 4.

A requirement that you buy expensive instructions and equipment even before the promoter gives you de tails of the deal. Ask yourself this key question before you invest time or money: Does the promoter want you to work for him or does he want to sell you something? Your honest answer will be your best protection.

Inquiries and complaints are pouring into Better Business Bureaus across the United States at a record clip, dwarfing the totals last year. An estimate is that this racket alone will bilk us out of more than $500 million in 1964.

"Reputable newspapers try to screen misleading advertising out of their columns, but these work-at-home schemes do slip too frequently into the unpoliced classified columns of some pulp magazines and newspapers. The tragedy is that they are aimed at those Miss Porter most gullible and least able to afford any financial loss or disappointment lonely widows, shut-ins, retired people and housewives desperately trying to supplement the family's income. THE SCHEMES range from mushroom-growing to bootie-knitting. Here is a sampling of the most common forms making the rounds today along with the "catch" in each case and rules for spotting outright gyps. Scheme: Address postcards at home.

Promoter furnishes "everything." Earn $50 a week. Catch: Promoter is selling "instructions" not offering employment despite the fact that he lures you through the help-wanted columns. If you're a "double victim," you'll pay for postcards as well as instructions. You make money only if the cards you send actually bring in orders. In a typical case, a home worker spent $1 for instructions, $5 for 250 postcards, $10 for postage.

Total profit on two orders: $2. Loss: $14. Scheme: Assemble at home anything from bow ties to garters, fish lures to artificial flowers and reap enormous piecework profits. Catch: Promoter offers no employment. Instead, he's selling instructions and, in all probability, exorbitantly priced equipment and pre-cut materials.

He has no intention of buying the goods you make unless they're "up to standards" and, of course, they never are. Often, victims spend hundreds of dollars on heavy equipment at grossly inflated prices in the belief that the promoter will furnish enough Laotians Dance Willi Leaders In Rain Celebration Vientiane, Laos (AP) Fun-loving Laotians fired off homemade rockets, painted their faces black and white, and danced in the streets yesterday in celebrating the arrival of the rainy season. As usual, the ordinary Laotian showed no concern over the govenmental crisis caused by the coup of the right-wing military junta just a week ago. Even the leaders of the coup and government officials took time off for the holiday. The junta remained in control of Vientiane, the administrative capital.

Its leaders showed no sign of relenting in their demands that Prince Souvanna Phouma, the neutralist premier, reorganize his government. He has been unable to do so because of opposition from the pro-Communist Pathet Lao. Bloomington, Minn. (AP) Jerry Lumpe's wild throw with two out and the bases loaded in the 11th inning gave Minnesota a 3-2 victory over Detroit yesterday. Jimmie Hall, who opened the inning with a single, scored on the play.

Six Of Nation's Minor Pro Grid Loops Combine Columbus, O. (UPI) Officials of six of the nation's eight minor professional football leagues met here yesterday to form the "Association of Minor Football Leagues," including teams in 50 cities in 21 states plus Montreal, Can. Unanimously elected as Association chairman was George T. Gareff, commissioner of the host United Football League. Also named were Ed McCracken, president of the Midwest Football League, as secretary, and Judge Cyril Smith, commissioner of the Southern Football League, as treasurer.

ALSO PRESENT at the session were Joseph Rosen-tover, commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Football League; Don Anderson, commissioner of the New England Football Conference, and Frank Bork, commissioner of Uie Central States Football League. Gareff said one of the association's first problems was the "piggyback" broadcasting of National Football League games on Sundays. He said he feared it would interfere with minor league teams which play Sunday nights. Gareff estimated that about 30 per cent of minor league games would be affected by the piggyback broadcasting. "Minor league professional football is growing at a tremendous rate and we hope that this new organization will unite all these leagues to serve the best interests of football and the public," Gareff said.

"The fact that we represent 50 cities is proof that there is interest in minor league football. We are proud of what we have accomplished to date and we feel the future is extremely bright for the minors."
