But I have nothing to say about how live every day of. my life." Home told police his wife had been moody in recent weeks but appeared in better spirits Thursday. Home had told his wife he was going to a meeting of contractors but instead went to an automobile showroom and picked up the station wagon he had ordered for his wife.

He found her body when he went into the bedroom to hand her the keys. Editors Elect Frank Angclo CHICAGO Frank Angelo, managing editor of the Detroit Free Press, and F. Granger Weil, of the Port Huron (Mich.) Times-Herald, were among 25 newspaper executives elected here Friday to membership in the American Society of Newspaper Editors by the Society 1NF0RMOT0 PLEASE reported. The husband, David E. Home, discovered the tragedy when he returned an hour later with a 1959 model station wagon he had bought as a birthday present for his wife, Ethel, who would have been 41 Oct.

26. Home, who owns a plumbing firm, told police he thought his wife had taken sleeping pills in a suicide attempt. Then he called back and asked for more ambulances, saying he found two of the children unconscious also and that they probably had been given sleeping pills. The children, Marilyn Frances, 8, David Robert, 11, and John, 9, died shortly after arrival at the hospital. All had been shot with a .22 caliber pistol bought only Thursday.

The children had been attending St. Parochial School. A note read: "I can't stay boxed in any longer. The children and I don't fit anywhere. We're not really wanted." "I TRIED but I never really had a chance.

A hearing was set for Wednesday morning. ATTORNEYS for the accused said their clients have been "tried, convicted and hung" by the Atlanta newspapers. Gov. Marvin Griffin said the indictments met with his approval because "this is a State of law and not one of brigands and anarchists.

I hope they've got the guilty ones." Meanwhile, an Atlanta detective disclpsed that police know the identity of the "Fat said to live in Baltimore. An Arlington (Va.) news paper said it had uncovered a link between Allen, one of the men indicted here, and George Rockwell, an Arlington printer It quoted Rockwell as say ing the wealthy man in Balti more who was underwriting bombing terrorists had put up $20,000 for activity in the Arlington area, scene of a school-integration crisis. IN WASHINGTON, it was learned that the FBI has ques tioned Rockwell and Harold Noel Arrowsmith, described as a member of a wealthy Baltimore family. Further evidence of the 'Tat Cat's" role was reported by Atlanta police in a letter contain ing this line: "The big Mast is all set for either next Sunday or Saturday. We will know tomorrow and will keep you informed." "But we want to have it Sun day, if possible," the letter con tinued, "because the boys are coming down from New York for the work here no guts in the local citizens and we want to have Saturday to pass out thousands of handbills and put up posters to sort of steam things up for the big blow it-; self." I DYNAMITE blasted an 18-1 foot square hole in a wall of "The Temple," on Peachtree Road, in the fashionable North Side section, early last Sunday.

Since the Atlanta dynamit ing, a synagog has been bombed in Peoria, Negro homes have been blasted in the Chicago area; a 'makeshift bomb has been set off in the yard of a Massacnusetts nome wnere Jehovah's Witnesses were meet ing, and vandalism has been reported at a synagog in Brook lyn. The integrated high school at Clinton, was blown up a week before the Atlanta bombing. Bomb-Threat Wave Sweeps New York Free Pre Win Service NEW YORK A wave of bomb scares hit New York Friday, including anonymous tele phone calls to a synagog, the United Arab Republic Embassy and a Jewish matzoth factory. Thorough searches turned up no explosives. The bomb threats started when an anonymous caller warned the Stephen Wise Free Synagog that "your place is next." Later the offices of the New York Guild for the Jewish Blind and the switchboard of the Streit matzoth factory, both in Manhattan, received similar telephoned threats from male callers, who said bombs had been placed in their buildings.

'L II I at 8 p.m. Monday. At that time, Deutsch said, he expected that some "positive action would develop. Deutsch did not elaborate on his "positive action" statement. Dr.

Graham, In his resign nation dated Friday said he was resigning because he did not want to hamper the in vestigation. He said he would be happy to serve again if called upon. TYSON SENT in his resig nation Oct. 10. He said he was quitting for personal reasons of family and health.

He also stated that he would be glad to serve at some later time. Both resignations will be acted upon at the regular Council meeting Tuesday night, Mayor Deutsch said. He added that no police officer has been asked to resign up to this time. Even as the outside law offi cers, led by Paul Slack, of the Prosecutor's office, conducted raids, River Rouge officials were reading the report onth eir police. Wilson, acting on requests from Deutsch, started a personal investigation of the police department on Sept.

2. He presented 47 pages of con clusions to Deutsch Thursday night. City officials, including members of the public safety commission, expressed "shock" at finding officers not only failed to enforce the laws, but associated "socially" with known violators. SLACK, however, recalled a Free Press series in August, 1956, which told of gambling operations River Rouge. The Free Press stories gave addresses of the gambling and drinking establishments, and named operators.

Friday Slack said, "The list of people we arrested yesterday and the places we raided is practically the same as the Free Press published two years ago. The raids were conducted i the assistance or knowledge of River Rouge police. Slack refused to comment on why local officers were kept in the dark, but Prosecutor Samuel H. Olsen said: "We didn't advise them because they themselves were being investigated, and because we have numerous letters from River Rouge residents who say police have failed to crack down on local gamblers." Olsen, however, added a word of praise for Deutsch and Council members who initiated Wilson's probe. WILSON" entered the picture after it became common knowledge that a numbers operator had been picked up while using a safety commissioner's automobile for his work.

Wilson's report did not directly accuse officers of taking payoffs, but alluded to "gifts" made by gamblers to high police officers. The Wilson report went into detail about internal disorder in the police department. He ascribed low morale to a system of promotions and appointments by political pressure, rather than merit. POLICE CHIEF Ralph E. Phillips said Friday that he had not seen the full report, but insisted he had "co-operated with Wilson 100, per cent" in the investigation.

"I think our department is getting along pretty well, and our records will show it," Phillips added. Of the 22 arrested, 11 were dismissed Friday without charge. The other 11 pleaded innocent before Dearborn Township Justice George E. Wicklund to charges of engaging in an illegal occupation and were released on $100 bond each. THEY ARE: David Tobias, 36, of 3994 Seventeenth, Gus Bacus, 66, of 70 Maple, River Rouge; John Ray, 52, of 22849 Kensington, Taylor Township; Benny Walter Smith, 36, of 1287 S.

Trial was set for Oct. 27. Prepare to Cap Fire on Oil Rig NEW ORLEANS VPl A firefighting team cleared away debris Friday as they laid the ground work to cap a fire that has roared for nearly two days from an oil rig in the wiir oi Mexico.

Seven persons are be-lived to have died in the series of explosions. They will honeymoon at an unannounced retreat and then come to Detroit about mid-December to make their home in Grosse Pointe. The marriage, which is the second for both parties, took place at the Park Avenue Methodist Church. It was followed by a small reception given by the senior Andersons, who are en route to their Bermuda winter home. THE CEREMONY was attended by Mr.

and Mrs. Wendell W. Anderson, who will return to Detroit shortly. Wendell Anderson, was his brother's best man. The bride was attended by Mrs.

Richard Newfield, of Hartford, Conn. The bride was born Lisa Demezey, the only child of Baron Demezey, a Transyl-vaniar diplomat. She Inherited the title, although the family was stripped of its estates at the end of World War II. Although the beautiful Lisa was reared in aristocratic Old World surroundings until the Russians took over her country in World War II, she was no stranger to hard work. Her family home was a produce farm on which Lisa, an only child, learned to ride, to milk cows, take care of chickens and perform all the household tasks expected of a woman who would some day take over the estate.

AT THE DEATH of her father, Lisa and her mother moved to Paris and Lisa overrode her family's objections to her becoming an actress. When the war broke out she dropped her theatrical studies and activities to become an interpreter for the International Red Cross. She was suspected of being a spy by the Russians, imprisoned and tortured. She bears small scars of this treatment still. Escaping to Northern Italy she met and married Col.

E. L. Kincaid, of the American Air Forces, and came to this country in 1948 as a war bride. The Kincaids have a daughter, now 12 years old. Following her divorce from Kincaid, Lisa began a varied and colorful career as a model, ah actress and a production adviser in Hollywood.

SHE HAS appeared in several movies, among them "Show Boat," "Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Merry Widow," and was even a late-show disc jockey for a Hollywood television station. She has written short stories and been active in charities for underpriviledged children. Her last professional visit to Detroit was in 1953. "Jack" Andersons' first marriage to the New York model, Selene Eklund ended in a divorce last May. They have two sons.

The first Mrs. Anderson has since returned to New York and remarried. Peronists Bomb Ford Chlcaco Tribune Foreign Service BUENOS AIRES Die-hard Peron followers bombed the Ford Motor Co. offices Friday in defiant commemoration of the the 1945 workers' rebellion which established Peron's dictatorship. The bombing was one of a score of nationwide incidents.

There were no casualties but the Ford offices were wrecked. Dozens of similar explosions rocked the city. Peron mobs tried to set two streetcars and three buses afire. Hunt Hurricane MIAMI Wind gusts of 63 miles an hour were reported Friday in a squally area 200 miles south of Bermuda. A hurricane hunter plane is investigating.

"Oh, how he suffered for that," his wife said. "And now we're suffering again." SHE SAID her husband had invented a method to improve a winch and took his drawing instruments when he went to Wichita.

He had been free-lancing in Tulsa but had had no jobs in recent weeks. A clerk at the airport, Mrs. Joann Embree, gave this account: McCuiston approached her counter carrying a brief case and asked for change for a quarter. She gave him the change and saw him enter a phone booth. A few minutes later he returned with a package wrapped in taped brown paper, in addition to the brief case, and asked for the Lost and Found Department.

He told her he had found a bomb in the booth. She extended her hand toward the package as she talked to him. He exclaimed, "No," picked up the package and brief case and strode away. He had gone only about 40 feet when the blast occurred. J.

C. Penney, the chain-store magnate, arrived at the airport a few minutes before the explosion. THE FBI entered the case under a Federal law that prohibits wilful destruction or attempts to destroy planes or airport facilities. Congress passed the law after a bomb tore a plane apart near Longmont, and killed 44 persons on Nov. 1, 1955.

Jack Graham was convicted of planting the bomb in the plane to kill his mother so he could collect her insurance. He was executed Jan. 11, 1957 Allies to Get 'Hot' Missile WASHINGTON (UPI) America's potent Sidewinder missile, recently baptized in action against Chinese Red jets over the Formosa Strait, will be delivered to 12 other allies by June, officials said Friday. Most of the countries planning to arm their planes with the supersonic weapon are within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The nine-foot-long pencil-shaped Sidewinder sails toward its target at twice the speed of sound guided by an infrared "heat seeking" device.

Fired against jets it sails directly up into the plane's tail pipe and explodes. Drug Firms Deny Charge WASHINGTON UPi Six! leading makers of wonder drugs Friday denied Federal Trade Commission charges that they tried to monopolize the antibiotics industry. The manufacturers, which include the Upjohn of Kalamazoo, asked dismissal of a complaint filed July 28 after a long FTC investigation. They denied illegally fixing and maintaining noncompetitive prices for the best-selling tetracycline antibiotics. These are sold under such trade names as aureomycin and terramycin.

The association started a three-day session at Greenfield Village Friday to try one more time to solve the mysteries of a large group of assorted hardware nobody has been able to identify.

IT'S NOT ONLY the i old names which escape Dr. Fred C. Sabin, a Little Falls (N.Y.) physician, and his dedicated followers. They've got gadgets whose very use is obscure. A froe is used to split shingles.

A niddy-noddy to skein yarn. A denglestuck to bang out nicks in scythe blades. A beetle to maul fence posts. The association members expected to obtain aid from Minor Yine Thomas, chief operator of Ford Museum and an association vice president. Thomas quickly identified an apple-slicer and a raisin seeder, but the meeting quickly lost ground again when he brought in a series of oddments which have been kicking around the Museum for years.

"Thought maybe some of you would know what they are," he said. THE MEMBERS of the association seem to take delight in coming up with something nobody can figure a use for. One has been dragging a fork-like business from meeting to meeting for the last 10 years without encountering anybody who knew what it was. The association members are hobbyists attempting to learn more about Industry of early America, a time when hand tools of many kinds were used in place of machinery. Dr.

Sabin was caught up with the group when he became interested in a trove of old surgical instruments he found in a patient's attic. HIS COLLECTION of bullet molds, candle molds, wooden planes, spinning wheels, adzes, bed warmers and foot-operated lathes now fills two large storage buildings in his back yard. "I got off a little into one "Long outlasts 13 ordinary bulbs! 1 U-vTt i-, 1 Dangerous Reduces Bulb nges!

Dr. Sabin said the searches for the origin of qnaint devices do not always come out well.

It took a long time to identify a strange gadget owned by one of the Associationers as a Hudson River shad scaler. During the jubilant publicity attending this discovery a man came forward who said it wasn't a shad scaler at all. "The darn thing turned out to be a coconut husker from the South Seas," said Dr. Sabin regretfully. "No use to us at all." Little Rock Private High Set to Open LITTLE ROCK CD The Private School Corp.

said Friday it will open an all-white high school for senior students only on Monday. Dr. T. J. Raney, president of the corporation, signed a lease agreement for a former University of Arkansas building with 32 rooms and said it will be used for the senior classes.

HIGH SCHOOL students have been idle since Gov. Orval E. Faubus closed the four public secondary schools Sept. 3. About 600 students have found other schools.

Another 3,000 have been without instruction for seven weeks. Raney also announced that donations to the corporation for the private schools now total $61,841,25. It has been estimated that it would require $15,000 a week to operate schools for all pub lic-high-school students. But a lesser sum would be required for the senior class only.
