"We'll be all dressed up and ready for the big Fourth of July week-end," he exclaimed Friday morning. Rosenbergs Executed for Giving Russians Atomic Bomb Secrets (Continued from Page 1) She also wore slipper-type shoes. Unlike her husband, she looked around the room. Her eyes flickered from face to face, across the row of witnesses and down the line of guards. She had stopped in front of the electric chair, and she started to turn toward it.

Suddenly, she stopped. Two women had followed her into the chamber. One was Mrs. Helen Evans, prison matron, and the other Mrs. Lucy Many, former matron and now a telephone operator.

Ethel Rosenberg whirled back from the chair and extended her arm toward Mrs. Evans. Her hand was outstretched. Mrs. took it between both of hers.

Mrs. Rosenberg pulled the short. white-haired matron toward her, and the two women kissed. Said 'Goodbye' Each murmured, but the words were unintelligble to the witnesses. Later, Mrs.

Evans said she only recalled saying "Goodbye." Again, the black helmet, straps and leg contacts were set in place. Just before the gear was placed on her head and face, Mrs. Rosenberg closed her eyes. She winced, slightly, as the electrode was fixed on her head. hair was black and short-cropped.

The chamber was hot. There was no sound except the half-whispered words of the rabbi. He kept his eyes on the prayer book, and his head was partly bowed. Then, the switch was thrown and the metallic rattle sounded again. Mrs.

Rosenberg had stretched her arms along the arms of the chair, with the palms of her hands turned upward. Now, her hands clenched. Then, as before, the straps were taken from her chest and the doctors examined her. This time, the decision was not immediate. They moved the stethoscopes several times, and there was a brief consultation in whispers.

They stepped away, murmured to Warden Denno, and the warden signaled the guards to replace the straps. Twice more, the switch was thrown and a buzzing hum, more vibration than sound, filled the chamber. Then it was finished. With the second examination, Dr. Kipp looked up and said, "I pronounce 4-STAR SCOTTVILLE, MICHIGAN SUNDAY MONDAY Evenings Only--Sunday at 7 and 9:15 p.

The second execution had begun at and ended at 7:16. Story Ends So closed the story of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg which began more than three years ago with the arrest of Dr. Klaus Fuchs, Germanborn atomic scientist, who was working in an atomic laboratory in Great Britain.

That was in February, 1950. On June 16 of that a year, David Greenglass was arrested in New York He was the younger brother of Ethel Rosenberg. The trail followed by detectives on both sides of the Atlantic 1 led from Fuchs, through several other men, to Greenglass and from him to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Julius was arrested July 17, his wife August 11, '1950. Each denied "before God and man" the story that Greenglass -that they had all been units of an espionage network, designed to ferret out the secrets of atomic energy, and relay the information to the Russians.

Greenglass testified that his sister, Rosenberg's wife, told him, "Julius finally got to the point where he was doing what he always wanted to do--give information to the Soviet Union." The Rosenbergs called it "a monstrous frameup." They were convicted in March, 1951, and sentenced to death on April 5, 1951. In sentencing them, Federal Judge Irving Kaufman called their action "a crime worse than murder." He said, "I believe your conduct in putting into' the hands of the Russians the A-bomb years before our best scientists predicted Russia would perfect the bomb already has caused the Communist aggression in Korea with the resulting casualties exceeding 90,000 Americans." That was the casualty figure at the time. Started Legal Battle Then began an immense legal battle to set aside Kaufman's sentence. It went through the courts, up to the U. S.

Supreme Court, and to the White House, finally in a plea for clemency directed to President Eisenhower. Refusing, Eisenhower said: "By their act, these two individuals have in fact betrayed the cause of freedom for which free men are dying at this very hour." Still the fight went on. Almost at the 11th hour, lawyers working for the Rosenbergs obtained from Supreme Court Justice William Douglas a stay of execution. The Supreme Court reconvened Thursday, resumed deliberations Friday, and then overturned Douglas' action. The Justice Department ordered that the executions take place immediately.

C. Lawrence Lind Boosted City Many Years in of (Continued from Page 1) ter to Ludington and headquarters established in the former Haskelite building on North Rowe street. New industries pay checks for the working men were of paramount importance to Ludington's Chamber of Commerce when Mr. Lind took over the reins as secretary with the tourist and resort business of secondary prestige. To maintain harmony among all groups the new secretary brought being Mason County Tourist Resort association to promote resort interests.

He assumed as well the leadership of this organization. During the two decades he served as secretary Lawrence Lind saw the tourist and resort business outgrow its swaddling clothes and come into its own as one of the leading industries of the county. The few tourist rooms which augmented the limited city and resort hotels and rental cottages have been superseded by long rows of modern cottages, cabins and motels, lining the highways and on the shores of all lakes and streams in Mason county. Tourist entertainment attractions are also provided. Ludington and Mason county have learned not to underestimate the value of the tourist and resort business.

And during those same two decades Secretary Lind was not lax in his other duties, securing new industries for Ludington. Representatives of some of these which he was instrumental in persuading to locate in Ludington will do him honor along with Ludington Lions club at a testimonial dinner at Stearns hotel Monday night. The industries which came and have stayed to grow and prosper along with Ludington include Wolverine Sportswear, Autopulse, Straits Stcel Wire, Ludington Machine Tool, Dow Chemical Co. and Harrington Tool Co. One of Mr.

Lind's best loved stories is on himself and has to do with an experience he had while the Autopulse building on Dowland street was being built. Secretary Lind of the Chamber of Commerce was overseeing building operations for the Autopulse management. One hot summer day while visiting the construction site, he sat down to rest in the shade of a brick wall. Nearby a strapping young workman was using an air hammer breaking out some concrete to enlarge a doorway. The two men exchanged greetings and the workman ventured that this new factory was something which Ludington really needed.

Mr. Lind agreed with him. Then the young man let go with the following: "It's about time we got something here. If that Larry: Lind had his way, we'd never have anything. He tries to keep all industry out of Ludington." Still reclining on the ground, the astonished Mr.

Lind inquired if he knew this Larry Lind. The workman promptly, answered: "No, and I don't to know him either." So Secretary Lind moved on without comment and the airhammer job was resumed. The promoters of the Pere Marquette memorial shrine on the Lake Michigan shore at Buttersville will long remember Lawrence Lind for his interest in this project to establish the memorial on the death site of the famous Jesuit missionary-explorer. He aided in securing the site, a two-acre plot of ground donated by the Butters estate, and the road to the shrine built by the Mason county road commission over a right-of-way donated by Ludington Realty Co. This two-acre plot has been accepted as a state park by the Michigan state conservation department and is the smallest state park in Michigan.

Beyond his civic service to the community, Lawrence Lind is known and' valued for his kindly ways and thoughtful acts of friendship performed to aid his fellow travelers along life's highway. During World war II he personally carried on a correspondence with over 400 of Mason county's fighting men in all corners of the globe. He kept them in touch with the happenings back home and wrote words of encouragement for times when the going was rough. In February, 1952, Lind was united in marriage to Mrs. Catherine Harmon of Riverton township.

He retired from the Chamber of Commerce in May of that year and since then has developed his new hobby of gardening. Many friends from Ludington and faraway places find their way to the Riverton homestead to enjoy the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Lind. A recent caller was Chester C.

Wells, secretary-manager of West Michigan Tourist Resort association and an old time friend. "He informed me," said Ex-Secretary Lind, "that I am not completely retired but am still a member of the board of directors of the WANT A CAB IN A HURRY?

That same year stained glass windows were installed in the church. The Rev.

Mr. Gregersen, who baptized many of the present members of the church, remained here several years before going to Denmark. In 1908 the Rev. Mr. Henry Juhl, who had been recently ordained, became minister of the church, staying here three years.

He was followed by the Rev. Mr. Jens A. Host, who came in 1913 and remained a year, leaving the church without a resident pastor for a period of a year. The Rev.

Mr. E. N. Nielsen arrived in 1917, staying until 1924 when the church pastorate was taken over by the Rev. Mr.

J. L. J. Dixen. While he was pastor a church basement was built with' a social and dining hall and a completely equipped kitchen.

The a Rev. Mr. Dixen was here until May, 1929, and from then until the following November the church was without a pastor. The Rev. Mr.

Erick M. Back came then, remaining until 1938 when the Rev. Mr. John Christensen, the present pastor, was chosen to be minister, serving until 1943 when he resigned, to be succeeded by the Rev. Mr.

Verner Hansen for two years. After the Rev. Mr. Hansen resigned, the Rev. Mr.

Christensen returned in 1945.
