Ragsdale, Lake Le Clair; two brothers, James MIAMI wi Walter Head-ley, architect of a crime crackdown that sent police dogs and shotgun-toting patrolmen into Miami's slums in force, died yesterday, but his tough police techniques will live on. Headley, Miami police chief for 20 years, died of cardiac arrest at a local hospital yesterday morning.

He was 63. The chief embroiled himself In national controversy drawing praise from some public officials and criticism from national civil rights leaders when he ordered the intensified enforcement of the law after a rash of Christmas robberies and murders in the city Negro district last year.

Edgar Hoover choose his 74th birthday next Jan. 1 to announce his retirement? There's speculation in the Justice Department that he will, but no word from the director himself, nor from his close associates. President elect Richard M. Nixon is a friend of Hoover's, and possibly he'll be the only one entrusted with advance knowledge of Hoover's intentions. Atty.

Gen. Ramsey Clark probably won't. The relationship between Hoover and Clark is known to have cooled in the past year. A bigger question than Hoover's possible retirement date, however, is who will replace the man who has spent 44 years as the nation's top police officer. Stephens, Lake LeClair.

RICE Funeral services for Mrs. Flor Will Rodgers said, "We all should live so we wouldn't mind selling the family parrot to the town gossip." and added "But who's that careful?" While it is true some people delight in gossip, we believe an overwhelming majority of people dislike gossip, mild or malicious. We believe most people would like to graciously discourage gossip but often hesitate through fear of hurting the feelings of the gossiper. When one listens to gossip, a grip occurs between the listener and the gossiper. A good way to avoid the grip and keep gossip from coming out of the mouth is to refuse to lend an ear for it to come in.

A few simple questions asked with a friendly smile can silence any gossip. For example, "Where did you hear that?" "Who started that rumor?" "You don't really believe that, do you?" "How many people have you told that to?" "Why do you think I'm interested in hearing that?" ence E. R. Stevens will be held Mon- Ragsdale, 40, died in Ft. Smith, of the Rosary for Mr.
