He pulled the post-the Coney Island postmark on card from his pocket and read it Rock 'II Roll Troupe Go On Vith Show MOORHEAD, Minn.

UPI A troupe of rock 'n roll performers went on with the show before 2,000 subdued teen-agers Tuesday night despite the deaths of three of their stars in a plane carsh. The 13 troupe members who had arrived here by bus for a one night stand at first cancelled their date in Moorhead. However, they later decided to honor their commitment in the tradition of snow-manship. The stars of the group among the biggest names in rock 'n roll and their pilot were killed Tuesday when their chartered plane crashed in an Iowa farm field near Clear Laks shortly after takeoff The singers killed were Ritchie 3U I them had been delivered in the first mail, and Mrs. Knapp had already laid them out on the desk.

The job of daubing the postmarks with a touch of India ink to blur the dates, erasing the addresses, readdressing them to a nonexistent M. Schrade at a dummy number in Chicago, padding the valise with sheets of the newspaper, and shaking up the few. articles of wear in it to eliminate all traces of Lucy Manfredi's neat hand at packing took no more than ten minutes. The valise was ready now, and Murray turned his attention to Bruno's letters and cards. Both letters and one of the cards mentioned the woes of the music writing business and asked for money.

These were tucked away in the valise. The other card was short and to the point. Dear Brother Murray, it read: am in trouble very bad and will tell you when you hit New York. My address is the same. The signature was an undecipherable scrawl.

Murray put this one into his coat pocket, then picked up the valise and posed for Bruno. "How does it look?" "Good enough. Maybe you could use some more wrinkles in that overcoat. Roll it up and sit on it in the cab." "I'll do that. You didn't put anything with a New York label on it in the bag, did you?" "No, it's the same old Chicago stuff we always use.

And be careful with this guy when you talk to him. He knows I was there yesterday, so he might smell something. Don't push too hard." "You mean, not if I want to come back with all my teeth." "That's what I mean," said Bruno. It was a long ride out to Coney Island, and when Murray left the cab he had the feeling of having arrived in the middle of a ghost town. The boarding house was as gray and shabby and lifeless as everything around it.

It was a huge barn of a place, evidently built at a time when cupolas and fancy wooden trim were the latest things. A sagging porch ran entirely around the house, and when Murray crossed it to ring the doorbell the boards underfoot creaked at every step. The man who answered the bell was as round and solidly made as a beer barrel, and even more unshaven than Murray. He chewed steadily at the stub of an unlit cigar as he eyed his caller up and down, "You lookin' for a room?" he said. "That's what I'm looking for.

I'm Eddie Schrade's brother in from Chicago. Want to tell him I'm here?" The man removed the stub of the cigar from his mouth, thoughtfully squeezed it into cyl indrical shape, and replaced it. "We ain't Schrade." got 'no Eddie PUBLIC SALE DAIRY CATTLE FARM MACHINERY SATURDAY, FEB. 7, 1959 10:30 A. M.

To continue this vast amount of oil flowing into power channels constantly, requires the discovery of new fields of production, the speaker said. To illustrate Leon ard pointed out that Pennsylvania, once the greatest oil producing field of the world, today has little oil production.

All of the major oil fields are worked out although numerous fields of natural gas have been uncovered. Oil produc tion in this country has switched to California and the Southwest where great gas fields have also been discovered. Offshore drilling in tnse localities has revealed many on sources under the bed of the ocean the speaker said. Great oil companies are constantly busy in exploring and opening up these new fields of production and billions of dollars are now being invested in oil production in foreign countries, Leonard stated. One country in particular mentioned by the speaker is Venzuela in South America where one of the greatest modern oil fields is in production and is largely fi nanced by United States oil inter ests.

Many other facts were related by Leonard showing how dependent American motorists and American homes have become on these vast underground sources of heat and power. Leonard was presented by Thomas Jones, chairman of the Sick Room Ser vice Committee. Visitors included Dr. Matthew L. Zimmer, guest of John Ross, Richard Cohen, guest of his fa ther-in-law Jack Cohen, Paul Kauffman guest of Clair Lane; Frank Tauzel and Jerry Groznik Soohomore guests from Chartiers-Houston High School.

Lundeen's 'awyer. Ralph Harlingen. has persuaded ii'i-vate detective Murray Kirk to investigate the case. Murray's reluctance to harm his good relations with police department quickly turns eager involvement when he meets Lundeen's fiancee, lovely Ruth Vincent. The more deeply Hurray in love with Ruth, the more eager he becomes to prove that Lundeen is really guilty, that Harlingen is a sentiments' fool and that Ruth is mistaken in her choice of a future husband.

Murray and Harlingen have rounded up Benny Floyd, a policeman who was petroling the beat with lundeen at the time of the Schrade sirest. and have learned from him that Vm-deen made regular visits covertly to a married woman. Helene. An associate of Murray s. Bn.no Manfredi.

has brought in reports un the conspiratorial background of Ira Miller, so Bruno is assigned to check Eddie Schrade's story. CHAPTER 11 T-HIS DAY, Murray Kirk deft cided early, was destined for small troubles and many of them. He was convinced when Bruno Manfredi called at two o'clock to announce that their bird had flown. Eddie Schrade had disappeared from his Coney Island address, seemingly into thin air. "What do you mean, disappeared?" Murray said.

'Did you ask around? Did you cover the whole neighborhood "All day, so far. The only character who looks like he might know something is the guy who owns the trap where Schrade was living, and he's not talking. Absolutely nobody wants to talk around here, Tou should see this place in winter, Murray. It's like the end of the world." "What about it? You're not there on a sightseeing tour, are you? Do you think LoScalzo's behind this?" "He could be. He needs Schrade to back up Ira Miller, or he's got no case, Maybe Schrade is the one he's worried about" Murray pondered this until Bruno wailed, "Talk to me, boy, talk to me.

It's cold and lonely out here." "You miserable coward. Listen, are you near a post office?" "There used to be one around here. What've you got in mind, Murray, the Brother Frank play?" try it," Murray said. "Two postal cards and two letters, and make sure you don't address them so light that they wind up in the dead-letter office." "Roger and over. Say, who'll be Brother Frank?" "I will," said Murray, "so write those things to Brother Murray." The Brother Frank routine was an ancient and familiar one at the agency.

Murray skipped his shave the next morning, and a few minutes after he walked into the offic" with an itching jaw, Bruno arrived carrying a battered valise and a week-old copy of the Chicago paper that he had picked up at the out-of-town newsstand Copyright, 1958, by Stanley Contlnaed From Page One ons should be believed in light of their unfounded claims about the other inventions. He called it propaganda. Leaves For Georgia Noted there was an absolute ly successful firing of a U.S. Atlas ICBM earlier today. He said it went a long way in a very good performance.

With an over-all reference to U.S. and Russian relative mili tary strength, he said this coun try has a much more balanced defense organization than the Controlled Heat AUTOMATIC i iWrttaMlgrl with bewilderment. "Are you kid ding?" he said. "He told me right here was the address." When he held out the card the man took it and read it, front and back, his brow knit with concentration. Then he handed it back to Murray.

"He used to live here. He don't live here now." Murray said: "Darn, that's a nice touch. A whole day on the train because he puts up a holler for me, and then he takes off somewhere. Well, where can I find him?" The man hesitated. It was bare ly perceptible, but it was there, nevertheless, and it was all Murray wanted to see.

"I don't know where he went to. What's it my business "Maybe it's not. Maybe he just figures I'll walk around the streets and look for him. This is a big town for that kind of deal." The man surveyed the wasteland beyond his porch. "It's a big town, all right," he agreed.

Murray thought this over, rubbing his jaw slowly. "Well, whatever Eddie expected me to do I can't go around like this. I must look like hell. Is there a barbershop near here?" "Next block down. Across from the subway." Murray picked up the valise, half turned away, then turned back.

"Say, would it be all right to leave the bag here meanwhile?" "Stick it in the hall, if you want. Nobody'll touch it." The barber was a good one, a deliberate worker who stepped back to study the effect after every few strokes of the razor, and Murray had no objection to that. The landlord would have all the time he needed to open the valise, examine everything in it, and verify the credentials there. Of course, that also gave him time to phone Schrade if he wanted to, but that was in the lap of the gods. Everything that could be done had been done.

When Murray got back to the boarding house the man was still working on the cigar stub, but his mood had considerably softened. "You know," he said, "first I figured you didn't look anything like Eddie, and then I figured maybe I'm wrong. Anyhow, all of a sudden, it came to me where he moved." Murray said: "Man, you just saved my life. I was all ready to head back to Chi on the next train." you don't have to. And maybe I can save you even another trip back here.

Did you know Eddie walked out of here owing me twenty bucks?" Murray had anticipated a figure nearer fifty. He paid tlia money, got the address, and left, feeling that he had just earned Arnold Lundeen a net profit of thirty dollars.

Sam Geeller, their traveling manaeer. said he wanted the singers to take a bus with the rest of the troupe but they char tered a plane because they want ed to make a fast hop and take care of personal matters "Buddy wanted to get a suit cleaned," Geeller said, "Valens wanted a haircut and Richardson just wanted to get some sleep." They took off early Tuesday aft er an appearance at Clear Lake. The wreckage of the plane was not found until after dawn.

The bodies were so badly mangled they were barely recognizable. The other members of the troupe, including singer tranky Sardo. "The Crickets" and "Dion and the Belmonts" did not learn of the crash until after their bus arrived in Fargo, across the state line from Moorhead. Two other rock 'n roll singers, Frankie Avalon and Jimmy Clan-ton, dropped other plans to join the troupe as replacements for the dead stars for tonight's performance at Sioux City, Iowa. 1 1 Continued From Pace Out launched a qlng-range development program to consolidate the college facilities and academic work on its 60-acre Grey Towers campus in Glenside.

The first phase of this program was completed with the construction of the first unit of a new dormitory and with the remodeling of the gatehouse for the college's music department. The second phase will be activated in the spring with a campaign to raise funds for a classroom building. Before assuming bis duties as the 15th president of Beaver College in 1940, Dr. Kistler was, for 12 years, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church in Rochester, New York. A noted churchman, lecturer and educator, he has been moderator of the Erie (Pennsylvania) Presbytery, the Rochester (New York) Presbytery, and has been president of both the New York and Pennsylvania State Council of Churches.

He served as a mem ber of the General Council of the Presbyterian Church for six years. Dr. Kistler is a director of the Foundation for the Independent Colleges.

Zitko forecasts an even better year for Slovenian Savings and Loan Association in 1959. The economic recovery from the recent recession should continue in the coming year, he said, but at slower pace.

Employment should remain stable and probably rise, consumer spending should increase, businessmen will probably continue to expand their inven tories and government spending federal, state and local levels expected to rise also. He added that Slovenian Sav ings and Loan Association would make more home loans in the community in the coming year, making available roughly $595,927. borrowers for the purchase of homes and financing an estimated both new and existing homes 1959.

In accepting his resignation Cornell stated, "Beaver College has been very fortunate in having the leadership of Dr. Kistler for nearly 20 years during which period the college has shown an amazing growth in academic standing and prestige not found many colleges.

This has been done by his devotion to a desire provide the finest education possible without sacrificing the Christian principles which made this country great. "In doing this he has obtained the wholehearted loyalty of the trustees, faculty and thousands friends who have come to consider Dr. Kistler and Beaver College as one, and I know I can speax lor an mat we wish him many years of good health and happiness in whatever undertaking he pursues. which will no doubt be for the consideration of others."

House May Revive Vets Home Loans Program Today WASHINGTON (UPD-Legisla-tion designed to revive the dormant veterans home loan program reached the House floor today. But an uncertain fate awaited it there because of a controversial, Democraticsponsored provision. It would permit direct federal lending Of 300 million dollars to veterans in rural areas where GI home mortgage financing from private lenders generally is unavailable Both parties were in agreement with the bill's principal feature-to allow the administration to raise the interest rate on GI housing mortgages to 5Vi per cent.

Private lending virtually has stopped under the present 4 per cent interest rate limit. The lending plan runs counter to President Eisenhower's econo my drive. Some Republicans hoped for a compromise 70 mil lion dollar lending figure which might be acceptable to the Presi dent. The Senate, meanwhile, sched uled the start of debate on a catch-all six-year, $2,925,000,000 housing bill that would boost spending 347 million dollars above the level recommended by the President for the next fiscal year The Senate may be debating its bill the rest of the week, but the House hoped to act on its meas ure today. Other congressional news: Hawaii: The House Interior Committee was expected to give overwhelming approval to a bill to make Hawaii the 50th state House passage is epxected before the Easter recess in March.

Space: House Space Committee members called for America to win the future in space by pour ing forth more money now on scientific research. The state ments came as the committee summoned top Navy officials to look into the role of the Navy in rocket development particularly the Polaris missile. Rackets: The Senate Rackets Committee was trying to figure out how Teamster President James R. Hoffa paid hotel bills for a free-loading truck driver without either of them knowing it John R. Cunningham an unem ployed milkman testified he stayed at a Washington hotel at Hoffa's expense.

But he said he didn't know until two weeks ago Hoffa was paying the tab and neither did Hoffa.

After about two and a ha minutes the missile's two booster engines appeared to burn out as planned, and the Atlas continued under power for another full minute. An eerie, bluc-and-white wreath effect was created just before engine burnout as the Atlas reached an extremely high altitude-prob-ably about 500 miles above the earth. Rumors were plentiful on the role of this latest Atlas, view of the secrecy-shrouded firing of he Atlas satellite Dec. 18. But informed sources said this was just another routine development flight.
