"'J -4" RACINE ALDERMEN show the Mayor "who's running the joint." At least that would seem to be the main purpose of the council's action last night in over-riding the Mayor's veto of an ordinance, and then turning right around to kill the very ordinance they had just passed over his veto. The proposed law which would allow the city to impound vehicles interfering with traffic, the Mayor's objections to it. and the probability of retting a similar law' bat amended to meet at least tome of those objections, are discussed In the news columns today. All this department desires to do is eall attention to the "city senators" legislative acrobatics apparently inspired by the desire hereinto-fore mentioned. And it sems to me like kind of childish way of spending a government body's time and effort.

"Please use your influence to hold off the wet at parade time!" she begs. Naturally, this department will do what It can because the Christmas parade is a swell idea and many people have made a lot of preparation for it. But I'm primarily a long-range weather-controller. I don't like these last minute jobs. AMONG 14 deer hunters who have lost their lives so far this season, nine have died of heart attacks.

"This is not surprising. The surprising thing is that so many men, middle-aged or past, who normally get little exercise, foolishly figure that their hearts will stand up under the sudden strain of the kind of unusual exertion that deer hunting often demands. ONCE AGAIN students and teach-ers at Horlick High School will help to see that no Racine family lacks a good Christmas dinner. For the fifth year, each of the 30 home rooms in the north side school will collect food to be placed in a basket. The 30 filled baskets will be turned over to the Good Fellers in a tradiiional Yuletide ceremony in the gym on Friday, Dec.

Wilkinson Is 38 and Hunrath, 30. Believe In Flying Saucers. "I don't expect to ever see my! husband on this earth again," Mrs. Wilkinson wrote in a letter receiv-l ed this morning by her Mrs. Roy Keenan of 725 Madsen Ct.

"He said he knew the whereabouts of a flying saucer which landed recently," the former Racine woman added. "Wilbur called me about 10 o'clock on the morning of Nov, 18," Mrs. Wilkinson said.

"He asked what we were having for supper. Then he never came home." A Radio Ham and Fan. Always an avid radio fan, Wilkinson had a room filled with short wave and other radio equipment when the family lived at 1638 St. Clair St. However, the electrician's wife said he tape recordings of conversations with men, presum ably from other planets, who landed here in saucers.

She also said Wilkinson had a message sup posedly received from "Prince Reggs of the planet Maser" tack ed to the wall near his radio equipment in their Los Angeles home. Mrs. Wilkinson said her husband "really didn't seem too interested in flying saucers except when Karl Hunrath came around SJune) because he said he could actually show a flying saucer to Wilbur."

"Of course, I don't quite go for all the flying saucer talk, but Karl had convinced Wilbur they actually -J Wilkinson's family and friends said he talked very little, but always was willing to discuss astrology, or the hereafter, or space travel. He was described by fellow radio- operators in Racine as "odd."

If it 'should turn impatiently to coercion other free nations, our brand of coercion, so far as our friends are concerned, would be a mark of the imperialist rather than of the leader."

The Horlick contribution helps greatly to meet the Good Feller need for Christmas baskets.

To fill the additional 70 or more baskets that will be required if a measure of Christmas cheer is to be on every fable in Racine, cartons are placed in food markets throughout the city, where patrons may deposit food packages that will become a part of some family's dinner. Members of Explorer and Boy Scout troops are now visiting these stores and leaving Good Feller signs to be placed orf the -cartons.

The prisoner interviews were strikingly calm compared to the wild, brawling sessions the Reds had with the Chinese and Koreans. The blue-uniformed prisoners walked through the mud into the five explanation tents on a bare hillside and sat quietly.

The South Korean explainers read their statements, scarcely deviating from the text.
