The Outgamic county jail was a dull place today. The Murray family had pnid its pulled the children's dinpcrs from their improvised wash line, and chugged away toward their home at Flint Mich.

Sheriff Lyman Clark was happy to sec the Murrays go. "I'm rid of them," he said. "I'm rid of them!" Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth pleaded guilty a week ngo to passing forged chocks in several towns, including Appleton.

They were fined $1,000 but couldn't pay it because authorities had impounded the SI.900 they had in cash. When officials ordered them to jail, the Murrays brought their two children with them. From then on, life in the jail was considerably livelier. The Murrays strung a special washline for one-year-old Donald's diapers. Patricia, 5, played cops and robbers along the jail corridor.

Mrs, Murray and the kids lived in the juvenile section. Murray was lodged in the men's cells. Patricia ran back and messages between her mother and father. Matrons were kept busy heating milk -for Donald. It looked as thoUgh the Murrays were ready to stay for the full year they would have to serve in lieu of their fine.

They were fairly happy about the way things had turned out. ''After all," Mrs. Murray said, "we only forged those checks to raise $2,000 for an operation Patricia needs. Now we're all in jail together and maybe the officials will have to take care of Patricia At the Saenger Sunday LADD and DONNA REED, pictured in a love scene from dramatic hit, "BEYOND GLORY." Army Moves to Build Up Reserves Washington, Oct. 21 (UP) The army called today for 100,000 veterans to sign up under the ex- Banded reserve program which defense sources estimated will cost as much as $1,000.000,000 a-year Brig.

Gen. Wendell Westevcr grrny executive for reserve affairs, said "the enlistment of least 100,000 war-trained men at Urgently needed for expansion of high-priority reserve units." He said the army will launch a gpeciai recruiting campaign for re- gcrves in the near future, and will psk Congress for additional funiis J0 support the stepped-up program grdered. by President Truman. Other defense sources estimated that an adequate reserve program the army and air force would fast the nation between picney would be used chiefly for 00 and $1,000,000,000 annually. The money would be used chiefly for armories, equipment and training for the reserves.

Truman last Saturday asked Defense Secretary James Forrestal to submit within 6 days a blue- for improving the reserves, together, with recommendations for any new 'legislation that may be peeded. Westover said the army has a program for the reserve porps which some of these units will figure in its "mobiliza- day" force. Though a few of he reserve units in tlie M-Day 'orce will be combat type, the ma- ority will be service troops working on transport, construction and hospital assignments.

It was dark by then. Murray stepped on the starter. Nothing happened. Deputies looked dismayed. "Get it started at all costs," one of them yelled.

The deputies got behind the car, gave it a shove, and the motor sputtered for a minute. Then it starfed. The Murrays drove off, waving happily. The dcputucs looked even happier as they watched the car pull out of sight. ganized force.

22 Truman's closest advisers say lie is convinced the Democrats will recapture control of the Senate regardless of the outcome of his own race next month. Talking privately, these men tell newsmen they expect Democratic senatorial candidates to outrun Mi- Truman in some states and to win in a couple he may not carry. Congressional candidates thcm- selves told correspondents traveling aboard the president's campaign train they felt they had been helped by the chief executivcs's repeated attacks on the Republican leadership on cnpitol hill. Most the president among the view that the party will knock off GOP seats in Oklahoma, Minnesota, West Virginia and Wyoming. These four would give the Democrats a 40 to 47 provided they do not lose any of the other hotly contested races, such as those in Tennessee, Neaw Mexico and Montana.

Former Robert Kerr exuded optimism when he boarded Truman's campaign train in Oklahoma. He got off saying the president's talks there had boosted us own margin and made the state safe" for the president. GOP Rep. Ross Rizley is Kerr's opponent Republican Senator E. H.

MoorO did lot stand for Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey of Minneapolis campaigned in Min- icsota with the president, who Republican Senator Joseph 1. Ball one of the "champions of Humphrey told: newsmen he expects to beat Ball. And White House aides reported the president agrees with him. Mr.

Trifman came out of West Virginia with glowing reports of Democratic Senator Mat-hew M. Neely's chances of unseat- ng GOP Scanator Chapman Rever- Ncely himself was optimis- -ic and so was Senator Harley M. Kilgore. the Democratic holdover. Mr.

Truman hasn't been in Wyoming since his cross-country pr'e- --invcntion speechmaking. At that ne, he said he was encouraged reports that Democratic Gov. Lester Hunt could defeat GOP Senator E. V. Robertson.

Kentucky, in the eyes of the Truman strategists, looks better lor the president than it does for the Democratic senatorial aspirant. Rep. Virgil Chapman is trying to defeat Senator John Searman -ooper (R) there. The president let this reporter know that he is more optimistic than other members of his party about Democratic chances of unseating Senator C. Wayland Brooks (R) in Illinois.

Paul H. Douglas is the Democrat candidate. Those aboard the presidential special had an opportunity to talk with former Senator Guy M. Gillette when Mr. Truman spoke Dexter, Iowa.

They were reminded the state is normally Republican, but Gillette said he has fighting chance to beat Senator rcorge A. Wilson (R). Presidential associates talk hope- ully, but not too convincingly, of this one. Most Democrats on the scene said they look for Gillette run ahead of the president in Iowa. Truman gave Clinton P.

'Eyes of Texas' By RELMAN MORIN AP Foreign Affairs Analyst (for Dewitt MacKenzie) A desert is one of the stakes, in fact a prize, in the Palestine conflict. The Israeli government announced yesterday that its troops have taken ancient Bcershcba in the very heart of the Negev, a wasteland. Why fight for a wasteland? In the days of appeasement. Mussolini was offered a similar territory of Lebanon.

On the East arc Syria and Trans-Jm-dsn. The sea is' on the West. Hence, the Jews musi look to the South, toward a desert. Population is not the only factor. Industrial and it is surely a potentiality now is equally important.

During the years of the Brj.tish mandate, the Jews conducted extensive experiments, and with considerable success, in as not greatly- different from the Ncgev. When Lynne Roberts went ItVto the opposite- R'6y Rogers Tricolor mus- ical western, of. -TexaV opening Ri.aitq'-th'o'a-. tre, it was exactly family reunion for the star and the pretty actress for Lynne was one of the cowboy's first leading ladies when he came to the Republic lot. The studio changed her name at that time because of its similarity to Rogers and so it was as "Mary Hart" Unit Lynne played opposite Roy in many of his early pictures.

Lynne is a very versatile actress for she's been a trooper all her life. She comes from a theatrical jU family which wasn't at all surprised when the five year-old girl and her brother began appearing as a dance team. The two danced together for eleven years, on and oft, louring throughout Ihe country. Her dancing, plus a talent for singing and playing the guitar, marked Lynne as a child prodigy in the entertainment world right from the beginning. When she was 13 years old, she took out from dancing to appear in a Los Angeles stage pro- ductiojijuand performed so well that a "Republic producer gave her a contract.

Ordinarily so young an actress is a poor risk because of the expense and red-tape involved in keeping teachers and welfare workers on the sets in compliance with state laws protecting working minors. However, young Lynne was such a stand-out that Republic took the risk with her. She was carefully groomed for two years and then was handed her first leading role. She was good and went on to make several more Republic films, including those" first Rogers movies, before leaving the lot to go under contract first to Fox, then to Columbia. Still, Republic seemed to have gotten into her blood for she returned there to take the lead "The Bonanza." Where prev- They were able to organize eol- iously she had captivated studio -v-ctivi.

For Israel, there is not much choice. Her spokesmen contend that she must have the Ncgev, not only for future expansion, but to achieve the Jewish dream of a modern state with an economy evenly balanced between agriculture and industry. The Negcv is a pretty poor area. It is a little smaller, in square miles, than Connecticut, but there- is no further resemblancy between them.

The Ncgev is barren, waterless, bleak, brown and unfriendly. It looks incredibly old, and "it ever had any value for humans, none is apparent now. For this reason, it has never been mapped. Probably it has never been entirely explored. Nevertheless, Israel claims it, and is expending blood and treasure to get it.

These are the reasons: The new state is already feeling population pressure. Immigration since the end of the war, and particularly within the past year, has brought the population mark to nearly 800,000. Many thousands more are waiting in Eurppe to go into Palestine. The planning of the Jewish agency, before the end of the war, embraced about 1,000,000 people. Some Jews were then living in Palestine.

To carry out this program, the Israeli government contends that it must have that desert territory. And, in fact, the original United Nations plan, proposed last November, allotted most of the Ncgev to Israel. (Meanwhile, of course, many of the key points in it are occupied by the Egyptian Army.) The new state cannot expand i northward, except at the expense Dead Sea. prospecting for minerals and setting up chemical works. They propose to do the same thing now in the desert of Negev.

They argue that a state of Israel based on agriculture alone cannot cxist. It would have no coal, iron or oil. To import these commodities, even for light industry, would be beyond the resources of the country, they claim. Whether the Negev holds any mineral or other resources is uif- known, of course. But it is the best hope of Israel, and in fact the only one.

Thus, though it be a poor choice, the Jews have taken it. Unlike Mussolini, they do intend to collect a desert. over again with maturity of her acting. The passage of three or four years had enhanced and given ner neccsasry experience. Lynne's appeared in all types of roles ranging from comedies to dramas, and with her latest appearance in "Eyes of Texas" she has completed the cycle she began with Rogers' westerns.
