L. CROSTHWAIT' He Saw the Dying Glimpse the Glory 'LAST STITCH' STAND Waco Doctor Writes Story of His Life By BARBARA RAV Waco Tribune-Herald Staff Waco's Dr.

W. L. Crosthwait has almost finished his last stitch. That does not mean he is retiring from he medical profession. The 82- year-old pioneer surgeon says he won't do that until the public does for him.

"The Last Stitch" is the title of his first book, a humorous, heartwarming autobiography which J. B. Lippincott Company will publish within a year. Contract was signed at noon Saturday. The significance of the title is explained in the prologue and epilogue ot the manuscript, written in conjunction with Associated Press newsman E.

G. Fischer, Dr. Crosthwait says he brought into the world "a-screamin' and a-kickin'." Fischer works in New Orleans. His home is Holland, Bell County. Back in 1898, when Crosthwait was a young buck just out of the University of Louisville and beginning a practice in rough and tumble Bell County, he was called on a case that could have established his reputation with the pioneers or put a rope around his neck.

It seems a middle-aged woman, the mother of a dozen grown children, began to show. "Lands alive," said her children and nieces and nephews. JUt's been 21 years since Ma' Io3TMd like that, and anyway, this ain't happened since Bibla days." A year passes, and Ma showed 1 -more and more, but no baby arrived. Finally the family called old Doc Jones, the community physician. He looked at Ma, then tenderly took her hand and said, "Ma, you aren't going to have any baby.

It's a 'tumor; the biggest damn tumor I ever saw in my life." Dr. Jones told the family he was not prepared for surgery like that, but he knew a young doctor who CITIZENS It Went Up, But It Won't Gome Down MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 4-UP--A "runaway" balloon carrying "priceless" research data floated more than 20 miles above the earth's surface for the fourth day Sunday and resigned scientists could only "wait it out." The huge plastic a launched Thursday with a load of live mice and guinea pigs for cosmic ray test, remained about 110,000 feet in the air and scientists said there was no way to tell how long it will stay aloft. The gondola carrying the animals and scientific instruments was to have parachuted back to earth late Thursday but a timing device apparently failed and the gondola was not released.

Otto Winzen, president Winzen Research, which launched the 25-story-taIl balloon from International Falls, said he was sure the animals in the gondola are now dead from the effects of cosmic rays at the earth's surface. But he said researchers desperately want to recover the instruments because they would furnish priceless information about cosmic rays. The firm has been making the balloon tests for the Air Force in order to learn what dangers may be encountered some day by human beings traveling in space. Winzen said there was no way to get the balloon down--it's too high to be shot at. It must come down a he said.

The question is --when and See BOOK, Page 13 Hunt Spurred On Greenlease Ransom Bills CHICAGO, Sept. 4--UP--FBI agents, spurred by the biggest break in two years in the mysterious disappearance of the Greenlease ransom money, scoured the nation Sunday in an effort to determine the source of nine of the missing bills which were "unloaded" in the past week. The nine bills from the missing $303,720 in ransom money turned up in three cities. Donald Hostetter, FBI agent in charge here, said the discovery of the bills "is naturally helpful." But, he said, "we still haven't traced the bills to their source. "I can't divulge any more information except to say we're work- Ing on tracking the bills to their source right now," he said.

The bills are part of the $600,000 which Kansas City, auto dealer Robert Greenlease paid kidnap- killer Carl Austin Hall in the futile hope that the life of his six-year-old son, Bobby, would be spared. After Hill p.nd his accomplice, Mrs. Bonnie Heady, were captured after killing the youngster, only $296,280 of the ransom money was found. The search was made difficult by the fact that I he missing $10 and $20 bills do not have consecutive serial numbers. Highway Deaths Rimnin Thirty Per Cent Higher Ike Pleads For Hiring All Workers WASHINGTON, Sept.

4 lift--In a Labor Day message to America, President Eisenhower turned attention today to the older workers. He said discrimination against hiring them must be eliminated. The President said that denying jobs to workers "merely because they happen to be over 45 years of age" is "an arbitrary bar to the full utilization of their abilities." He said it causes "a waste of valuable skills and talents." Eisenhower said that on Labor Day this year all Americans are "humbly a for the twin blessings of peace and prosperity." "We honor all the working men and women of this country who with their hands, hearts and minds have contributed so much to our national welfare," he said. "Let us all thank God for our good fortune and move forward with confidence that with determination, ambition and tolerance we can make our country and our world a better place in which to live." Eisenhower's message was released by a of Labor James P. Mitchell, who said in a separate Labor Day statement that the nation's economy is "breaking through to new records of production, wealth and employment." "Personal income has never been higher," Mitchell said.

"The latest employment figures show that more than 65 million people are at work, making higher wages than ever before in history. "And while wages are going up, prices are holding steady so that the American wage earner can buy more with his pay check than ever before. "And with all this we are at peace only 10 per cent of our toted production is going for defense." The story of America's 73rd celebration ot Labor Day is being told around the world in 39 languages. The U. S.

Information Agency said it was sending special messages abroad in press dispatches and Voice of America broadcasts, built around the Labor Day message from the President. Mitchell's statement and remarks from leaders of the American labor union movement are included, too. Eisenhower said we must not overlook "a growing problem" facing the older worker who wants a job. Government statistics show that the nation's population aged 45 or more is growing spectacularly. It was l.V/i million in 1900, 22 million in 1920, million in 1950 and 46,700,000 this July.

The Census Bureau estimates this figure will grow to 63 million by 1975 so that by then two decades from now--the citizens aged 45 or more will compose approximately half the adult population. Stevenson Lashes GOP For 'Hazardous Ride' CHICAGO, Sept. 4--UP--Adlai E. Stevenson Sunday accused the Republican administration with "taking a free, if hazardous, ride" on prosperous times created by its Democratic predecessors. Stevenson also said that the prosperity he attributed to the New and Fair Deals has not stayed on the nation's farms.

GATHERING STRENGTH Texas Coast Alerted For Tropical Storm By Tho Associated Press Whether the rains would fan out State disaster headquarters Sunday alerted coastal points against "possible" danger from a tropical disturbance centering about 325 miles south-southeast of 'Brownsville, Texas. Tbe alert was issued after the Weather Bureau said the storm-not yet of hurricane force--was moving 1 northwest with indications it was "slowly intensifying." District disaster organizations at Harlingen, Corpus Christi, Houston and Beaumont were notified of possible storm danger. The tropical disturbance at mid- afternoon had winds of only 30 miles an hour. Already, however, it was sending rain squalls skittering i South Texas. And small craft were warned to slay oul of the Gulf south at Chrwti.

over much of Texas or whether the disturbance held the seeds of a real storm could be determined yet. The Brownsville Weather Bureau said there was even a possibility that a low pressure area near the central Gulf would pull the squall area eastward and away from land. The Brownsville station said at 1:30 p. m. that the disturbance was centered about 325 miles southeast of Brownsville.

"It is moving northwest at about miles per hour and shows signs of slow intensification during the next 24 hours," the bureau added. "Small craft warnings were hoisted at Port Isabel. Texas, at 1 p. m. and all small craft are warned not to venture into the open Gulf south at Corpui ChrtoU."

Church Meet Session Opens In Honolulu HONOLULU, Sept. 4 presiding i who switched the Protestant Episcopal Church's 58th general convention to Honolulu because of "segregation problems in Houston" brought up the issue today at the opening session on these islands of many races.

In a speech prepared for tonight's service of some 3,000 delegates, the Rt. Rev. Henry Knox Sherill said: "So far as I am concerned, it would have been a great relief if that responsibility (his decision) had not been mine alone. For the sake of my successors in office, I would welcome a change in the constitution giving to the National Council this power." But he went on to disagree with those who 1 i.e the church should keep apart, from "problems which are not immediately ecclesiastical." "Are we to leave moral issues of nuclear warfare to groups of scientists or the spiritual implications of the race problems to tlie courts, to give two examples?" he asked the. delegates from the United States, Japan, the Philippines, Brazil, Mexico, Okinawa and Liberia.

"No, the church with an humble realization oi 'the complexity of modern problems nevertheless has a responsibility to state great ethical and spiritual principles," The segregation issue was not on a crowded agenda which includes such matters as one whether the church should enter upon a "crusade against alcoholism." Bui: delegates from Texas were expected to bring it up. Anticipating controversial matters, Bishop Sherrill departed from the custom of delivering a sermon and waded into "various aspects of the life and work of the church." "I have been told that even to raise these questions is a matter of great delicacy and feeling," he said. "But I am sure that we all desire what best for the church and there is no question which cannot be considered calmly by Christian bMthien." Americans Enjoying Highest Prosperity (Editors Note: Because It is this "bundle of benefits" that makes today's prosperity so vigorous, so much more widely shared, and so conducive of hope for the rest of the year.

Here is his report.) By SECRETARY OF COMMERCE SINCLAIR WEEKS WASHINGTON, D. stores, vacation resorts and highways indicate that the American people this Labor Day are enjoying the greatest period of over-all prosperity in history. If we don't rock the economic boat, 1955 should be an even better year than the boom year 1953. Approximately 65 million people now have jobs. Over 57 million are employed in.

non-farm enterprises such as manufacturing, mining, construction, transportation and trade, breaking all previous records. Average weekly earnings of factory production workers Some 7 u00 French troops backed in July were at an all-time highly amlor and warplanes launched of $75'76 This figure is 84 above a ma ssive clean-up drive Sunday French Start Big Clean-Up In Morocco RABAT, Morocco, Sept. 4--UP-- that of a True, there are still some people without steady employment but happily this number is growing less. In 1939, for example, 17.2 per cent of the civilian labor force was unemployed. In July of this year the percentage dropped to 2.7 per cent.

That certainly is progress in creating jobs. Our current over-all prosperity results from stimulating may parts of the economy. As examples: Tax cuts and record personal income increase people's buying power. Personal security is advanced by old age. Tax incentives to investment and sound monetary policies encourage business expansion -and hence job expansion.

Sound credit policies stimulate home building. Necessary public works have a favorable impact on business and employment. Not just one but all of these many aids help create an atmosphere favorable to economic ac- against an estimated 3,700 tribesmen who turned down a French surrender ultimatum. Early reports said the advancing troops met no resistance and found only a handful of the Smala tribesmen who fled into the middle Atlas Mountains after the Aug. 20 up.

French officers feared the holdout tribesmen might have slipped out of their mountain strongholds and dispersed into the forbidding wastes of south and southeast Morocco. Long tank-led columns of infan try, colonial riflemen and foreign legionnaires set off at dawn to start a systematic search of the hills and wadis. In Casablanca a prominent. Moroccan nationalist regarded as sympathetic to moderate elements was assassinated Sunday in a new surge of violence in the French protectorate.

Texas Ranks Near to Top In Violence By Tlio AsKoclufcd The a i n's highway traffic death toll rose menacingly Sunday on the second day of the Labor Day week end. An Associated survey showed a 1G5 had been killed on the highways, 20 had drowned and 20 had disd in miscellaneous mishaps for an over-all death toll of 205. The traffic toll brought the comment from Ned H. Dearborn, president of the National Safely Council that, "The number right now ia 30 per cent above that for the corresponding period of last Labor Day week end--when 405 were Irilled. It's 20 per cent over that on the last July 4th week end.

Unless the motorist slams on his brakes hard, we are headed for an all-time traffic death record." A wave of violent death during the Labor Day week end kept Texas near the top in worst records of highway killings, drownings and other forms of violence. Only California had a worse record by Sunday night. The Texai total as tabulated by The Associated Press was 25, with 14 killed in traffic and 5 by drowning. Tabulations began at 6 p. m.

Friday. Deaths reported Sunday included: Two girls drowned in the surf off Padre Island's southern tip Sunday. They were Anita Gusman, 9, and her sister, Lucille, 11. They were tlie daughters of Samuel and Eva Gusman of Encino. In Dallas, Ulia Mae Washington, 36, was shot to death in a hallway argument late night.

Police are looking for a 49-year-old laborer. Floyd Mathews, 25, of San Antonio was fatally shot early Sunday by a woman who said she fired when Mathews tried to break into her home. The council estimated that tho traffic death toil will be 400 during the holiday period from 6 p. m. local time Friday to midnight Monday.

The record traffic death toll for a Labor Day week end was tha 4G1 in 1951. The record number of traffic deaths for any holiday period was In the four-day Christmas holiday period in 1B52. Tha toll then was 556. The Associated Press, In a survey for a three-day non-holiday week end, Aug. 19-22 this year, counted 3G5 traffic deaths.

One of the grimmest traffic mishaps occurred today near the north central Indiana town of Fulton. There, a car laden with seven persons out for a holiday struck a utility pole, killed five persons and critically injured two others. Crippled B-47 Winner Of Cross-Country Race PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4 Iff)--Afwith a loud roar of their jet en- Boeing B-47 stratojet bomber with a crippled radar set and only enough fuel left for one pass around the field won the cross- country General Electric race today. The plane, piloted by Maj.

Leonard J. Stevens of Chicago, flew the 2,337 miles from March Air Force Base, Riverside, in 3 hours, 57 minutes and 59.2 seconds for an average speed of 589.294 miles per hour. The first coast-to-coast race was the morning feature of the National Aircraft Show now in the second gmes. Stevens said the radar set in his went dead 50 miles, or less than five minutes, away from Philadelphia, adding to the problem of navigating through scattered clouds and across considerable haze. Because of the loss of' his radar, the pilot crossed tbe finish line at an altitude of about 5,000 feet.

Stevens and his three fellow crew members were worried that the altitude might prevent clocking of their time, but the National Aeronautic Association, which computed the figures, said it obtained day of a three-day stand at Inter- TM national Airport.

The UN announcement said the two nations agreed to "issue and enforce the most positive orders to prevent any persons from crossing the demarcation line and attacking 'persons in the other's territory, laying mines or committing other acts of sabotage." The Egyptian and Israeli governments replied to a new appeal for the cease-fire issued by Canadian Maj. Gen. E.

The agreement came after 14 days of clashes along the Israeli- Egyptian frontier in which more than 60 persons were estimated to have been killed.
