ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH of Associated Sc Ptt Copy, Vol. CXV, No. 252 ALTON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6,1950 Established January IS, 18S6, Concrete Must Be Replaced on Olin Building, Architect Says Letter to Contractor Avers Firm Must Pay All Costs All concrete now In place on the F. W. Olln Vocational School must he removed and replaced, accord- Ing to a letter sent, by A.

Goedde, school architect to the general contractors on the school, J. J. Wuellner the contractor's expense. The letter from the architect followed an unofficial report on tests of the concrete made by the Robert VV. Hunt of St.

Louis Sunday. The tests were witnessed by Supt. J. B. Johnson, Goedde, F.

W. Olin of the Olin Foundation, C. J. Schlosser, board president; and H. Edward Meyer, board secretary.

Unofficial figures of the five tests made were: Test No. pounds of pressure per square inch, Test No. pounds, Test No. pounds, Test No. pounds, and Test No.

5 1415 pounds, Thus only one of the five tests met the requirement in the specification of 3000 pounds of pressure per square Inch. The Hunt Co. also tested a portion of concrete made with 5.7 bags of cement per cubic yard. After five days, the concrete tested 2000 pounds, which Indicated that with further seasoning it would far exceed the 3000- pound specifications. Almost all of the concrete in the Olin building was mixed with 5 bags of cement per cubic yard although the specifications called for 5.7 bags.

Text of Letter The letter from Goedde to the general contractors read: "Dear Sirs: "The Board of Education of the Alton Community School District No. 151 and we have had further tests of the concrete now in place made by Robert W. Hunt Co. The results were unsatisfactory and clearly indicated that you have failed to have this concrete meet the specifications. "We have advised you on numerous occasions that the concrete must meet specifications.

The reports which we have examined all show that you have not used 5.7 bags of cement and that you have allowed more than the maximum allowable quantity of water. "You are, therefore, hereby notified that pursuant to the contract you have with the Board of Education of Alton Community Consolidated School District No. 151, you shall forthwith remove all the concrete heretofore placed and poured by you on the F. W. Olln Vocational School and replace the lame with concrete meeting the ipecificatlons.

In this connection you will cause such of the other work heretofore placed to be removed and later replaced in accordance with the plans and specifications. All of the foregoing is to be done at your cost and the costs of the testing shall be billed to you In due course. "Signed, Albert M. Goedde." Discovered by Olln The variation of the concrete from specifications was discovered 10 days ago by Mr. Olin, president of the Olin Foundation which Is financing the building of the school.

The board and the foundation had hoped that although the concrete was mixed with only five bags of cement per cubic yard, it might still be strong enough to be left In the structure. But the letter from the architect indicates that the concrete is felt to be not only below specifications but weak. John Fallen, partner in the J. J. Wuellner Son indicated at the time that the variation from specifications was discovered that his superintendent on the job had Continued on Page 2, Col.

Voters 9 Guide Brief Sketches of Tuesday's District, County Candidates Burglar Hine Safe Was Target, Again Arrival of police on a routine inspection patrol at the John Hlne Auto Co. body shop at Ninth and Belle, at 3:53 a. Sunday, interrupted a burglary In which a small safe was for the second time a target. When Sgt.

L. Angel and Patrolman M. O. Elliott circled over a service drive at the business place, which Includes a used car display lot, they observed a man within the building when their car headlights flashed through the windows. The man ran and ducked, and the police sergeant fired a shot which failed to halt the intruder's flight.

While Angel ran to the front of the building, and Elliott to the rear, the intruder escaped, apparently through a side door, later found open. It later was found the intruder had apparently opened three doors so that ne had as many handy routes of exit. Near a workbench In a rear shop, police found the small office safe which had been removed from the front office. Managers of the business place were called, and found the burglary had been interrupted before any effort to open the safe, and that nothing had been stolen from the building. Police said that the safe which was the evident object of the burglary attempt is the one that was stolen from the body-shop last April 1 and later found abandoned and unopened in a ditch near McAdams parkway, upstream from the water works.

Purse Burglar Resumes Work; He Steals $245 The purse burglar was back at work on the westerly side of the city, carrying out Iwo "sneak burglaries" In which he secured an aggregale of $245 while Ihe householders were at home. The robberies were similar to two which occurred here on Halloween. The first burglary was discovered about 9:15 p. at the Lester Hack home at 905 McKinley. Policemen who investigaled learned that the intruder had forced a bedroom window and had rifled two women's purses.

From a purse of Mrs. Hack, which had been left on a radio set, near the window, the burglar secured about $21, and from a purse of Mrs. Ray Wegeman of Wood River, which had been left on the bed, he secured about Mr. and Mrs. Wegeman were callers at the Hack home at time of the robbery.

Through a neighbor, police learned that a young-appearing man, garbed in cap and jacket, had been seen a short time earlier near the bedroom window of the Hack home. The second burglary, at the home of Mrs. Carl Mahoney at 1212 Douglas, was discovered about 10:30 p. m. Because the residence is outside the city limits, the investigation was made by Deputy Sheriff Lewis.

He learned that Mrs. Mahoney's daughter, Mrs. Eleanor Campbell, was here from St. Louis, and that her purse containing $200 and miscellaneous articles, also the purse of Mrs. Mahoney, containing $20, had been taken from a first floor room, while Mrs.

ahoney was upstairs. Mrs. Mahoney's purse later was found to have been dropped in the yard after the cash was removed. It appeared that the intruder had entered and left by a rear door of Continued on Page Col. 4.

Alton High Student Records Would Make 38-Foot Stack By MACV PBUITT Principal of Alton High If the 33,000 permanent records of past and present Alton High were piled together they would make a stack 38 feet high. This fact wag discovered by a recent survey of records covering a period of almost 75 years. The survey was made in connection with National Education Week. The earliest records available date back to 1876, and are complete for both non-graduates and graduates except for a single gap. This void in the records is due to the fact that the Upper Alton high school records were destroyed by a fire in the city hall, where they were stored.

The loss Included records over the period from about 1906 to 1912. Records from Alton High when housed in the Lincoln and Roosevelt buildings are complete. The biggest headache for the registrar in using the records comei from the duplication of When names are identical it often helpful to check names of parents and dates of birth. There is considerable duplication among the 1406 students enrolled this fall. This notice recently appeared on the teachers' bulletin board: "Please help us to identify these students by using middle initials with their names: Jack A.

Harris Jack L. Harris Robert L. Taylor Robert D. T.aylor James H. Wilson James E.

Wilson." Even the requested middle initials failed lo distinguish the two Gerald Myers. They were both and it took the full name of Gerald Lee Myers and Gerald Lreson Myers lo keep their records straight. Programs at Open house and a book fair nt 7 p. m. at Washington school will highlight Tuesday's observance of American Education Week in the public schools.

Class discussions relative to the ballot will be conducted at Lincoln and a flag-raising ceremony will be staged at 9 m. at Lowell.

One Is the ballot with the candidates' names and the other is a smaller blue ballot on the Gateway amendment proposition. The Telegraph, as usual, will compile the unofficial vole for Alton, Wood River, Godfrey and Foster and will pool information with other newspapers of the county to obtain the county-wide results.

Alton has 27 precincts, the'most of any city in the county. Wood River precincts total 17. There arc three precincts for Godfrey residents and one for Foster township. The Telegraph will not flash election results on a screen election night but will follow the custom of recent years and cooperate with radio station WOKZ to compile vote returns for broadcast. As during past elections, the Telegraph's vote totals will be compiled from reports telephoned in at the earliest possible moment by judges or clerks of the various precinct polls.

This method of obtaining vote totals has been found the quickest and most accurate and officials at each of the area precinct polls are urged to cooperate by telephoning the results as soon as the precinct totals are known.

No Leadership Changed Likely The consensus of political observers seemed to be that the results of tomorrow's balloting would no change in Democratic control of the two houses of Confess. However, the experts left room 'or last-minute crystallzation of sentiment that might be reflected a surprising trend. The possibility that the recent adverse turn of the Korean war would affect voters' decision was not discounted by either party. To be elected are 32 state governors, 36 U. S.

"Korea is proof that freedom can survive if the peoples who cherish it stand logelher," Mr. Truman said.

Mr. Truman, who came home lo cast his ballot, appealed for a big vote tomorrow in the national elections, plugged gains of the Democratic national administra- ions since 1933 and warned of 'Communist imperialism." "In the last 50 years," he said, 'there has been a steady drop in he percentage of eligible voters In he United States who go to the polls and vote on election day. "It is a disturbing tiling that only about one out of three eligi- lie voters took the trouble to vote the last mid-term election in 1946 "Voting is not only a right; it a serious patriotic duty. hope that every eligible voter in he United States will go to the polls tomorrow, and make certain hat his family and his neighbor! go to the polls, too."

At a campaign rally in his home own Saturday, Dirksen criticized the vice president, who had canr laigned In Illinois on behalf of Lucas. He declared Barkley foiled to mention "plowing under cotlon, jigs, and corn, and plowing under young men of America on foreign Battlefields." He said Democratic coders, including his Democralic opponent, "have soughl to conceal heir dubious record, to confuse he voters, to set up a smoke- icrcen." He said the voters will decide Tuesday "whether America goes down the Socialist road from which there Is no reluming, or whelher it remains a great, free lotion." On Sunday, Dirksen spoke at several rallies in Chicago. In a olevision broadcast, he sold he dared President Truman to tell the ruth about American casualties in he Korean war. Referring to the Pl-esident's rankly political radio speech Saturday, Dirksen said: "Hurry Truman would have done betler lo tell whelher Ihe asualty list last week was not nflnltely bigger than at any time incc the war began in June.

Yesterday, Lucas assailed Dirksen and Republican "isolationists" for blaming the Korean war on Democratic "bungling."
