WANTED BY THE FBI
EDWARD HOWARD MAPS
Edward Howard Maps, “beatnik,” firearms expert, college graduate,
artist and sculptor, who is charged with brutally slaying his wife and
four-month-old daughter, is one of the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted
Fugitives.”
Firemen attempting to extinguish a blaze in Maps’ Stroudsburg,
Pennsylvania, home on January 21, 1962, found the infant dead of
smoke inhalation, and Maps’ young wife dying of a fractured skull
and cerebral hemorrhage. At least ten fires had been set in the home
and the gas oven was turned on.
Maps was missing but allegedly telephoned two neighbors shortly
after the crimes were discovered, threatening one with being “next.”
A Federal warrant charging Maps with unlawful interstate flight to
avoid prosecution for murder and arson was issued on January 23,
1962, at Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Generally known as an artist and sculptor, he is a nonconformist
who shuns ordinary footwear, going barefoot in the summer and wear-
ing sandals without socks during the winter. A sloppy dresser of
unkempt and untidy appearance, he was discharged from the Marine
Corps as a schizophrenic.
A white American, born on June 29, 1922, at Passaic, New Jersey,
Maps is 5' 8" tall, weighs 170 pounds, has a ruddy complexion, broad
shoulders, a barrel-chested build and is unusually strong. His eyes
are brown, he has bushy, curly graying-black hair and sometimes
wears a full beard and mustache. '
Consider Maps armed and extremely dangerous. Please immedi-
ately notify the nearest FBI office of any information concerning his
whereabouts.

Texas and The
European
Common Market
Two weeks of conferences with
European Common Market offi-
cials resulted in some disturbing
conclusions, according to Agricul-
ture Commissioner John C. White.
“I think we are going to have
to scratch and fight to keep the
mbrkets we have”, said White. “If
we ,don’t, we may end up on the
economic defensive.
Commissioner White and three
agricultural economists from Tex-
as attended a series of confer-
ences in Europe during Septemr-
ber. Their original mission, re-
quested by Governor John Connal-
ly, was to inquire into future pros-
pects of the 15-m)illion dollar poul-
try mbrket between Texas and
EEC countries. It quickly became
apparent that more was involved
than just poultry.
One-fourth of Texas’ total agri-
cultural output goes into export
markets and 60 to 70 per cent of
this amount goes to the Common
Market. European officials were
firm in their requests for “qual-
ity’ instead of “quantity” for to-
day’s purchases.
“The European Common Mar-
ket mien tell us we have a split
personality in this regard”, said
White. “That is, we have high
standards for commodities we use
ourselves but will try to sell our
off grades overseas.”
“We won’t be able to do this
much longer. We cannot expect to
be just ordertakers in the future.
We have to expect to compete on
a quality basis.”
(Commissioner White said Eur-
ope especially complains about
grain that is not cleaned. “They
don’t want to pay the freight on
trash, hulls and impurities — an,d
for good reason,” he said.
Texas agriculture has an impor-
tant stake in foreign policy, since
most of our state farmi products
are saleable as exports. The four
members of the Texas commis-
sion to Europe are in the process
of preparing a report to Governor
Connally on thieir findings.

'Sweetheart' from
Is National March
“She Was a sweetheart
from the day she was born.”
This is the way her mother
describes winsome, bright
little Mary Lou Graves, 5,
of Flint, Mich., who has
been named the 1964 Na-
tional March of Dimes
Child.
Blonde, blue-eyed, vivacious
Mary Lou is indeed a sweet-
heart, but - one who has had
more than her share of sadness.
She was born with a birth de-
fect called spina bifida, which
means that the base of her spine
was not closed properly. At the
age of one month, she under-
went an operation to correct
this condition. Since then, Mary
Lou has fought to be able to'
walk, and sometimes, she has
had to fight to live.
Today, the lower part of her
body is paralyzed, and she is
extremely vulnerable to infec-
tions. In spite of this, Mary
Lou is a cheerful little girl de-
termined not to miss any of the
pleasures of growing up.
Proud of the fact that she
lives in a state known as the
auto capital of the world, Mary
Lou tells visitors that her wheel
chair is a “Kadlac.” She has a
frisky puppy named Prince,
and she scurries after him as
fast as Kadlac’s wheels can
take her. She tags along after
her mother, helping.to sweep
the floor, dust the furniture and
dry the silverware.
One of her favorite jobs is
baby sitting for her two young-
er sisters and brother who were
all born without defects.
March of Dimes Symbol
The National Foundation-
March of Dimes has chosen
Mary Lou to symbolize the
250,000 children born with a
serious birth defect each year
in this country.
Basil O’Connor, president of
The National Foundation, ex-
plains the problem of birth de-
fects, and the voluntary health
organization’s attack on it, in
this way:
“Why did something go
wrong when Mary Lou’s tiny
body was being formed? Why
is a seriously defective child
born to one out of 10 American
families?
“Can more of these children
be helped with present medical
knowledge?
Favorite hairdresser of Mary Lou Graves, 1964 National March of
Dimes Child, is her mother, Mrs. Raymond Graves of Flint, Mich.
“What more must we know
to prevent this from happening
to babies yet unborn?
“Simply stated, these are the
questions for which hundreds
of March of Dimes-supported
scientists seek answers.”
Because the answers which
come from scientific research
will come too late to help chil-
dren already afflicted like Mary
Lou, the March of Dimes is
fighting the problem of birth
defects in still another way—
through a growing nationwide
network of March of Dimes
hospital centers seeking the
most effective treatment for
these children. Currently, there
are 44 of these centers across
the country.
Grateful for Help
Mary Lou may be unaware of
all the national and interna-
tional efforts to help solve the
birth defects mystery, but her
parents are not. Mr. and Mrs.
Raymond Graves are grateful
to the Genesee County (Mich.)
Chapter of The National Foun-
dation for financial aid to help
with Mary Lou’s frequent hos-
pitalizations.
“The March of Dimes is the
greatest friend we ever had,”
Mrs. Graves says. “The March
of Dimes helped us pay for
hospital bills, medications, the
wheel chair and other neces-
sary items.”
Mary Lou wants to be a
nurse when she grows up, Mrs.
Graves reports. “Wouldn’t it be
wonderful if she could be?”
the March of Dimes Child’s
mother says. “Then maybe she
could pay back some of the
kindness shown to her. Until
then, my husband and I can
only say thank you to everyone
who contributes to the March
of Dimes, because more knowl-
edge might mean more medical
techniques that may help our
Mary Lou.”
As March of Dimes President
O’Connor points out, the ulti-
mate aim of knowledge gath-
ered from this scientific re-
search is to prevent birth
defects from harming thou-
sands of tiny bodies not yet
born.

Mathis, 16-0
Woodsboro. — The Woodsboro
Eagles took a 16-0 win here Fri-
day night from; the Mathis Prates

The victory kept W|oodsboro in
a tie for first place in the district

The first half was scoreless, al-
though Mathis got inside the Eagle

ball four times on fumbles the first
half.
In the third quarter Woodsboro
scored, the drive capped by a 20-
yard run by Jamies Lamprecht.
He also ran the two - point con-
version.
The next time the Eagles got
the ball they moved 70 yards in
five plays, scoring on a one-foot
plunge by Kenneth Wfright. Leon
Gonzales converted for two. The
score was set up by a 52-yard
run by Lamprecht Who was drag-
ged down on the one-foot line.
For Mathis, John Snody, guard,
and Lamar Greenwood, quarter-
back; and for Wjoodsboro, David
Boemer, end, and Robert Wbtipka,
tackle, played outstanding ball.

50 Communities Complete
2nd Phase of Development
Most people would succeed in
small things if they Were not
troubled by great ambitions.
—Longfellow
Corpus Christi. — Fifty comjmju-
nities have completed the second
phase of a new area development
program, designed to attract mpre
industry to South Texas.
W. C. Price, industrial develop-
ment manager of Central Power
and Light Company, said in Cor-
pus Christi today he was “well
pleased with the large number of
towns which completed the comb
prehensive second questionable for
the contest. The program, called
“Arm for Industry,” is sponsored
by CPL.
One of the main features of the
long range industrial develop-
ment program, is an annual con-
test to determine the South Texas
town most attractive to industry.
Fifty - five commiuniies complet-
ed preliminary report forms, and
Price said that only five of that
number dropped out before the Oc-
tober 1 deadline for completing the
second questionaire.
Price said the large rate of re-
turn on the second questionaire
was an indication of the excel-
lend leadership that exists in
South Texas.
“It certainly showts the high lev-
el of interest in community im-
provement” he pointed out.
The CPL industrial development
manager said that the “Arm for
Industry” program! is a new ap-
proach to industrial development
with every assurance of success in
providing additional payrolls for
participating communities.
He pointed out that the program
would help South Texas cities
help themselves in the field of in-
dustrial development.
Price said that the questionaires
on the 50 commiunities still in thti
contest will now* be turned over tx>
the Bureau of Business Research
at the University of Texas for sta-
tistical analysis. Finalists in thej
contest will be determined by the
Bureau of Business Research nexll
month. t
The winning community will
then be selected from the finalists
on the basis of stn on-site inspec-
tion by members of an impartial
judging team. Judges for the an*
nual contest will be the executive!
director of the Texas Industrial
Commission, the president of thel
Texas Industrial Development
Council and the executive director!
of the Texas Manufacturers Asso-
ciation.
The top prize winning commun-
ity will receive a $1,000 award*
A community’s attitude toward
industry, availability of sites and
raw materials, schools, recreation-
al activities, shopping and trans-
portation acilities, civic pride and
the efforts being made to attract
new industry are a few of the
points that will be considered ini
choosing the whining community*
Price said the CPL program will
provide an incentive for commun-
ities to add to their natural as-
sets, and make community and
municipal improvements in order
to become more attractive to in-
dustry. Biy attracting industry, he
pointed out, an area can broaden
its tax base, increase employment
and improve its economy.
The program will focus nation-
wide attention on the winning
communities, and cause interest-
ed industries to investigate the
possibilities of location here.
