It was the. Woman again. Baltimore, landing at Friendship Airport Monday afternoon, where he was met by FBI agents. En route to the universe, including the weather in and upon the State of Arizona, and that on or about Aug, 17, 1960, defendant so maintained and controlled the weather, in, around and upon Phoenix, in such careless and negligent manner as to cause lightning to strike the plaintiff's house, setting it on fire and startling, freight-ening and shocking the plaintiff," the suit said.
Miss Penrose asked $75,000 general damages and $25,000 punitive damages. Tansie said the suit was filed here because God owned property in the country the 31.7-acres Morning Star Ranch. Gottlieb formerly of the Limeliters singing group, filed a grant deed last week conveying the hippie ranch to God. Santa Rosa, Calif. (UPI) An Oakland attorney has filed a $100,000 damage suit against the Deity for "careless and negligent" control of the weather.
Russell H. Tansie filed the suit by mail on behalf of Betty Penrose, who blamed God for a lightning bolt which struck and destroyed her home at Phoenix, nine years ago. Die Sonoma County clerk issued a summons for the Deity and returned it to the attorney for service. Tansie said he hopes to win a default judgment when the defendant fails to appear in court. "Plaintiff is informed and believes that defendant (God) at all times mentioned herein is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the "Jezebel is WHAT?" TIIE LIGHTER SIDE Baltimore, Md.
(UPI) A 22-year-old Waterloo (Iowa) coed who attends the University of Pennsylvania was released yesterday by a kidnap ring masterminded by a woman who was paid in ransom by the girl's father. The victim, Ann Katherine Jenkins, was reported in a state of shock as the result of a three-day ordeal and was under a physician's care at a hotel where her father, financier Richard T. Jenkins, was staying. MISS JENKINS arrived at her father's hotel at 7 a.m. EDT, less than four hours after she had phoned him and said, "I'll be home at 7 o'clock, Daddy." Jenkins had handed over the ransom money in cash to a "woman in a moving cab Monday night.
The FBI co-operated in the investigation but honored Jenkins' request to stay out of the case until his daughter was safe. FBI officials said one woman and one or possibly two men were involved in the case. The disappearance of Miss Jenkins, who did part-time social work here and commuted to classes in Philadelphia, was reported Saturday by a welfare department employe with whom she shared her apartment, Patricia Comes, 20. COMES told authorities she had a luncheon date with Miss Jenkins but she failed to appear. When Miss Comes returned to their apartment Saturday afternoon, she found the door unlocked and a strange woman inside.
She said the woman fled; Miss Comes said the apartment had been ransacked, a stereo set was missing, and clothing and other articles were in heaps on the floor. She found no trace of Miss Jenkins and made a missing-person report later in the day. Jenkins, president of a Waterloo savings and loan association, did not know of his daughter's disappearance until he received a phone call from Baltimore late Sunday night. A woman told him his daughter had been kidnaped and asked, "Is she worth $10,000 to you?" THE FINANCIER replied that he had no way of knowing that she was telling the truth. Almost immediately, authorities said, he heard his daughter "screaming hysterically" in the background, and the woman commented, "Bring the money or your daughter will be sent home in pieces." "You'd better do It, Dad-day," Miss Jenkins then interceded.
"It's the only way." The woman was reported to have made two more calls to Waterloo, finally instructing Jenkins to fly to Baltimore Monday with $10,000 cash in a brief case, to go to a railroad station, and wait until he was paged. Jenkins notified the FBI in Iowa and made the trip to sn six Who'll Shed A Tear For Queen So Dear? By BOB COLLINS In theory kings and queens have the best jobs around. They sign on for life, are given a living wage and seldom burden the treasury by putting in for overtime pay. However, the royalty business isn't what it used to be. Currently there are enough ex-kings and princes wandering around Europe to start a polo league.

And those lucky enough to get out with their uniforms can pick up a little extra caviar money working as hotel doormen. NEVERTHELESS, I can see where some of them might be more than a little disturbed about their current situation.

According to recent reporfs, she is down to her last six or seven castles and is considering digging into her purse for extra living money. In a way, you can sympathize with her plight. The kids are. away at school. That costs a bundle.
And, of course, she has a husband to support. IT IS SAFE to say that, a half century or so ago, if a fellow had a choice he would rather be a king than a President Presidents sign on for four years. If they are lucky they get eight. A king had the handle for life or at least as long as he could hold it. But the pendulum has swung, For instance, to the best of my knowledge there is not a single ex-President working as a doorman.
ON TOP OF THAT, while the Queen was trying to pay the light bill, our President bought a $340,000 home. Not only does this show that American Presidents definitely have the upper hand, it could work to the benefit of all American citizens. Just sit tight, folks.
