Police Believe Phantom Barter Case Solved PASCAGOULA, (JP) The bizarre mystery of a "phantom barber" Who clipped girls' hair while they slept and the brutal beatin'g of a young couple in their bed were believed solved t6day with the arrest of a Gernian-educated chemist. 'Police'Chief A. W.

Ezell said "We're 'sure it's the man," and declared that he had been charged with assault and battery and attempted murder of the couple. The officer said strands of hair found behind the prisoner's house had been sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for identification tests.

The arrest followed weeks of investigation by police and private detectives.

and Mrs, Terrell Heidelberg were beaten severely with an iron bar as they slept in their home early on the morning of July 13. Two days previously, Carol Peattie had been given a ragged haircut by an intruder into her home. Mary Evelyn Briggs and Edna Marie Haydel also received hair- trimmings as they at Our Lady of Victories convent. Police Chief'Ezell said the man, a chemist, was born in this country and educated in Germany.

When a broker wants to float a bond issue he usually advertises in the newspapers and sends out letters to clients, but when Robert Houston Jr. of Tupelo, wanted to sell stock in himself he went the financiers one better. As part of a "victory com- paign" in which the cattle club is presenting 1,000 purebred bulls to American dairy farmers for improved breeding and greater milk production, the club offered a prize calf to the boy or girl member of a 4-H club or the Future Farmers who obtained the most signatures of sponsors.

All the sponsors had to do vouch for the contestants' farming ability, and to get their signatures many youngsters ran ads in their local papers, enlisted civic clubs in their behalf and queried possible sign- The 3,895 grade-crossing accidents that took place in 1941 resulted in 310 persons killed and 1,908 injured.

"Can't do it," said Leigh, for "regulations Shawano county, farmer turned scrap salvage man was pulling junked automobiles from a mountain of 500 of them submerged in a small lake at the rate of one every half hour. The story of the salvage operation was told by Eugene L.

Dunn, head of the WPB auto graveyard division in Chicago. Albert Radtke, an automobile dealer, had been selling about 200 new cars a year for the last 15 years. He stripped some of the trade-in cars and each winter, towed them on the ice to the center of a 400-foot nameless lake near Zachow, Wis. When the thaws came the cars sank to the bottom of the lake. N.

L. Sherer, field representative of the graveyard division from Milwaukee, heard of the i cache of scrap and helped ar- range its recovery for war use. A Mattoon, fanner, Philip Whitman, undertook the work, and the first day of operation, he pulled out 15 cars. Whitman set with Leigh, informing him the regulations, which he himself had helped formulate, provided for such emergencies. But Leigh, not having a copy of the rules at hand, stood his ground.
