Saturday, November 15, 1958 STEVENS POINT (WISCONSIN) DAILY JOURNAL Page 9 THANKS TO NAZIS Rockefeller One Ago Rubber Heel Squad Dogs The Grisly Unfolded German Bell Industry Booming wmmfmif mump j. Trm n. i rrir i SINN, West Germany Skilled German bellmakers, using the same techniques employed by their ancestors for centuries, currently are finding themselves busier than anyone can remember. One of the oldest and largest bell foundries in West Germany Is that of the Rincker brothers in the tiny village of Sinn, about 23 miles north of Frankfort. Rinck-ers have been making bells at least 350 years.

Since the end of World War II, the Rinckers have produced about 5,000 church bells, roughly as- many as the family turned out in the 70 years preceding the war. Wartime efforts to reclaim strategic copper and tin contain ed in big bronze bells account for a large part of the post-war bell-making boom. It is estimated that the Nazis melted down about 150,000 bells during the war. Since the war, the entire German bell industry has replaced only about 25,000. Bells are traditional victims of war but despite all the wars of the past three centuries, there are still 49 bells in existence known to have been made bv the Rinck er family between 1590 and 1800.

The family assumes the 1590 bell, which still hangs in the church at nearby Netphen, was not the first to be made by a Rincker but there is no sure record of an earlier one. The Rincker foundry is run by two brothers, Fritz and Curt Rincker. Fritz's son, Hans, is expected to carry on in the next generation. The method of casting a bell at the Rincker foundry has changed little in the past 3V centuries, except that overhead cranes, a modern oil furnace and other devices make the job a little easier, But the making of the crucial brick and clay mold is done just as it was centuries ago. A wooden "profile" swung on a central RKLL BOOM Workers at Rincker brothers bell foundry in Sinn, West Germany, pour metal for the foundry's bell.

German bellmakers are finding themselves busier than ever replacing bells melted down for arms during World War II. Story other murdered woman and of 14 cadavers dug from neighborhood Today Ed Gein is occupied doing what authorities call "ordinary menial taf.ts" in a sick ward Central State Hospital for the Criminal Insane. Dr. Edward Schubert, superintendent of the institution, says that the reticent little bachelor whose career as part time handyman and part- time ghoul covered nearly two decades, has made "a satisfactory adjustment." He has not been out of the maximum security institution. He has had no visitors, except official callers.

He has, says Dr. Schubert, no change that would indicate he could be returned to court for possible reexamination and trial on the two first degree murder charges held against him in the slayings of Mrs. Worden and his other admitted victim, tavernkeeper Mary Hogan. During the proceedings in which Gein was sent to Central State last year, Dist. Atty.

Earl Killeen said that the action undoubtedly meant "that Ed Gein never will walk the streets of Plainfield again." And that, said Circuit Judge Herbert A. Bunde in his commit- 3c 4 pivot guides the mason in building up the mold. Fii'st the inside of the bell Is shaped This is coated with grease and a second layer of clay forms the shape of the bell itself. A third outer mold is next built up and when all three are dried, the second layer is chipped away to form the hollow part of the mold. The clay mold is then buried In a deep pit right in front of the furnace with earth packed tightly around to keep it fiom breaking when the molten metal is poured.

The bells are 7S per cent copper and 22 per cent tin. The price depends partly on the going costs of these metals. During the Korean war. bell metal shot up to around $1.10 a pound. Now, it is about 3fi cents a pound.

Most Rinrker bells go to German communities, as did the six- Speaks Kindly Of Nixon CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) Nelson A. Rockefeller has volun teered some kind words for a man who some political observers think might be his rival in 19G0Rich- ard M. Nixon. Rockefeller, the governor-elect of New York, said Friday he on-sidered United States cooperation with Latin America to be im portant. Then he added: "Mr.

Nixon has been one who has been active as has the President's brother in working to de velop hemispheric unity." Both Vice President Nixon and Milton Eisenhower traveled in iaun America earner this year as US. representatives. The New York millionaire's comment were made at his acre rice and cattle farm at Palo Gordo. Earlier on a tour -of his Venezuelan farm property, Rocke feller was asked by newsmen about a recent statement of liar old E. Stassen, a former governor of Minnesota.

Stassen launched on Wednesday a campaign to deprive Nixon of the 1960 Republican presidential nomination. Stassen put Rockefel-ler at the head of his list of possi-ble nominees and left Nixon out. of this, Rockefeller re sponded with a surprised "Oh' and then smilingly changed the subject. The governor-elect has con sistently refused to be drawn into a discussion of his being boomed for the Republican nomination, but he is being viewed by some politicians as a potential opponent of Npcon for the nomination. Rockefeller plans 1o return to New York next Friday.

Traffic Heavy As Hunters Go North; 17 Arrests Made Traffic on Highway 51 was "exceptionally heavy" Friday night as deer hunters moved northward County Highway Police said today. A radar set-up south of Plover netted 17 speeders, all from Wisconsin, the officers reported. Three were clocked at 64 miles per hour, 12 at 65 to 69, one at 73 and one at 76. All are expected to make court appearances next week. A number of the drivers who received tickets were hunters, police said.

They compared last night's traffic to that on a holiday weekend. Marines Ordered To tand Trial PARRIS ISLAND, S.

V. ton bell poured last January which was registered as the foun- dry's bell. Actually the Rinckers have poured many more than 10,000 bells but the family began counting them only in 1868, There are a few Rincker bells in American churches including one recently shipped to Colman, Neb, The U.S. market, where domestic or Belgian bells seemed to be preferred, Is a hard one to crack, says Rincker business manager Hans Krueger. "And this Is a little hard to understand, too," he adds, "be cause our prices for delivery in the United States are more favor able than those of either Ameri can or Belgian producers.

"The bell business is unusual, though. Maybe the trouble is that: we've been quoting prices so low that no one has faith in them." bright, normal youngsters who, have turned their land cruiser' into a gigantic play pen.

COOrER LONDON IT) A policeman's lot, as even the casual student of Gilbert and Sullivan is aware, is not a happy one. Recently the lot of the London copper has been made unhappier still. They started spying on him to see whether he is doing odd jobs in his spare time without an official okay. The investigation was conducted by a group of detectives from Scotland Yard known as the "rubber heel squad." A constable may be fired If, without permission of the police commissioner, he makes extra money during off-duty hours by gardening, cleaning windows, washing cars or performing si milar chores. A British policeman Is not highly paid.

He has to be on the force for two years before he earns 510 pounds, $1,428, per an num. From this he goes on to a maximum of 695 pounds, $1,946, after nine years. So a lot of them look around for extra earnings outside. They hesitate to go through channels because this may take quite a while. The rubber heel squad has found a lot of odd jobs are be ing done by a lot of constables without approval from on high The trouble Is the police are already 3,000 men short, even without firing anybody for raking leaves when he isn't walking a boat, or babysitting with the sons of a newspaperman named Cooper.

(AP)-Just a year ago tomorrow, Ed Gein had his last baby-sitting job. They weren't really babies any more, Les Hill'i two children walked down the town road from their parents' crossroads store to visit their 51 -year- old friend at his rickey old farmhouse, and invited him to supper. Ed Gein came out of his wood shed and said he'd be ready as soon as he finished dressing his deer.

The children laughed at another of Ed's jokes. The deer season had opened that day, all right, but they knew there couldn't be a deer in the woodshed because Ed didn't go deer hunting. And they were right. It wasn't a deer. It was the butchered body of a middleaged businesswoman, Mrs.

Bernice Worden, who had vanished that morning from her main street hardware store. That was on Nov. 16, 1957, Mrs. Worden's body was discovered Just after dark, by a deputy sher iff who walked into the woodshed looking for Gein.

The Gein farm, seven miles from the village, has changed too. Nothing but fire blackened debris is left where the peeling old house stood.

The flames that destroyed it last winter when there was talk that outsiders might buy it and set it up as a bizarre museum never were ex plained. Plainfield Village President Har old Collins said that "it seems to be the general feeling that the fire was no accident." With the house gone and with it the basis for any such exploitation, the farm sold at auction for a few dollars an acre. Its new owner knocked down the remain' ing outbuildings and has begun planting the sandy marginal soil to small evergreen trees, a common crop for otherwise unoroduc-tive lands in this central Wisconsin area. There is little discussion nowa days in Plainfield of the story that touched all the literate world with horror. They did not even open all the graves Ed Gein said he robbed.

When the Neals are on stage, a local babysitter watches the children.

On a concert night, the Neals are on an exact schedule. Supper is at 5:45 p.m. Then Allison washes the dishes and Harry prepares the children for bed. That's over about 6:30. The Neals take a 30-minute nap themselves and dress at 7:40.

Concert time is usually 8:15. The Neal children for all their traveling and the non-permanency that goes with "it are i ST. LOUIS (IP) Harry Lee Neal lives by three R's run, run and run. He runs his family of five persons; he runs his fingers over the keyboard of his concert piano; and, occasionally, he runs the $25,000 land cruiser that is the family home seven months of the year. Neal is half of the piano team of "Nelson and Neal." The other half is his wife, Australian-born Allison Nelson, 31.

Their self-designed land cruiser is as compact as the Inside of a submarine. It has to be. For they take their three children and two concert grand pianos where-ever they go. The Neals met as students at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Since their marriage on New Years Day in 1949, they have traveled more than a quarter of a million miles, giving concerts in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

"My children were very inconvenient children," Allison says. "They all were born during the concert season." The children are John, 4, Kathie, 2, and Allison, 10 months. The Neals are on the road from October through April, During the summers they live in an antebellum home in Paris, Tenn. "We play so many one-night stands that my friends in Paris get the Idea we can't hold a job," Neal says. When the family is on the road, Allison still finds time to cook about half of the meals in the land cruiser's tiny but efficient kitchen.

ft'-." -r Second Arrest Made In Stolen Goods Case CHICAGO (AP) A 30-year-old woman was arrested here Friday niht, the second person taken into custody by the FBI in connection with the interstate transportation of merchandise from a bankrunt Milwaukee appliance store. The was announced by Richard D. Auerbach, FBI chief in Chicago, who said at least seven other persons were being sought in the case. They were not identified. Arrested Friday night was Mrs.

Ruth McGuigan of Chicago who was charged with receiving stolen property worth $200,000. Auerbach said she arranged for the interstate transportation of including typewriters, cameras and sporting goods from the Scar.lon Appliance Store to two empty warehouses in Detroit. The agent rhe also supervised storage of the merchandise in Detroit. The Scanlon firm went into bankruptcy and the merchandise was concealed from the company's creditors, Aue-bach said. In Milwaukee authoritrs said the store had been sold to James Kelly Bishop who ordered the merchandise under the credit rating of the former operator, running up a bill possibly as high as a half million dollars.

Bishop and the merchandise disappeared from the store and a Milwaukee warehouse when creditors began to press collec tions. Bishop, who used the nam? James Kelly in Milwaukee, was arrested by the FBI in Los Angeles Thursday. Ha was taken into custody in a mrtel with his bride of two months. Bishop was arrested on a warrant charging Interstate transportation of $100,000 worth of merchandise with intent to defraud. He was held in bond of $15,000.

In Milwaukee Friday, the Federal bankruptcy court issued a warrant demanding his extradition to to ft-nd trii'. James E. McCarty, federal referee in bankruptcy, also asked that Bishop's bond be increased to $30,000. i. 1 1 In -3w'.
