Newest Mattress
PITTSBURGH (UP)—A boon
for pillow-haters soon may come
to market, thanks to a 25-year-old
girl who’s dreamed up a differ-
ent type of mattress.
Pat Morrell, daughter of Adm.
Ben Moreell, board chairman of
Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp.,
likes the softness of a pillow, but
not the heads-up effect. So, pat in-
vented a mattress with an inden-
tation big enough to accommo-
date a regular pilow or a foam-
ruber cushion, so that the head
has a soft base but the body is
perfectly horizontal.
Pat used two sales arguments
in her calls on potential manufac-
turers.
Novelty — “People have been
sleeping on the same shaped mat-
tress for generations.”
Health—“Better blood circula-
tion is possible when the head
rests level with the mattress, and
loss of hair often has been attrib-
uted to poor circulation. Perhaps
there would be less baldness with
my new mattress.”
Most manufacturers discour-
aged her but recently she con-
vinced the Sealy Mattress Co: and
the Firestone Rubber Co. the idea
was sound. Now, they have prom-

FORT WORTH, Nov. 24 (TP) — I
Police hunted today for a Negro
yard man who slugged, raped
and robbed a white woman in the
garage of her home in the TCU
area.
Early today, no trace of the
Negro, who lived in a servants
quarters near the scene of the
crime, had been reported.
After raping and beating the
woman, 48, yesterday afternoon,
the man tied her up, placed a gag
in her mouth and drove off in
her car.
Although descrbed in “fair
condition, the woman suffered
shock, severe head cuts and' a
possible skull fracture. She said
the Negro, 36, struck her repeat-
edly with a hammer after raping
and robbing her.
Capt. O. D. Huffman said the
Negro went to the woman’s home
to discuss some work she had
wanted done today. They went
to the garage where she showed
the Negro some paint to be used
on a fence.
The Negro told the woman he
was going to rape her and forced
her struggling to the floor. After-
ward, he forced the woman into
the house, took her car keys and
$20.
Then he marched her back to
the garage, slugged her with a
claw hammer, tied her hands and
feet with twine and gagged her
with a towel.
Police said the hysterical wom-
an worked her left arm loose and
untied her feet. She called police
and her husband who was at
work.
Zere Is No More
Zip in Zee Zither
MILWAUKEE, . Wis. (UP) —
Things are not going too well for
lovers of zither music.
Alberta Kraeder of Los An-
geles, who recently played a zith-
er concert in Milwaukee, claims
she is the only zither teacher left
in'the United States.
Not only that, but the last firm
in the country to make zithers
has gone out of business. The
Schwarzer Zither company of
Washington, Mo., recently folded
after making zithers for 83 years.
Officials of the Milwaukee
Zither club, one of the last two
such organizations in America,
say the Schwarzer firm made
about 11,000 zithers and that
thousands of others have been
brought into this country from
Europe. They say most of them
are still around, probably buried
in trunks in attics all across the
country.
The last outpost on the zither
frontier hopes for a revival of in-
terest in the strange instrument,

Insurance Racket
Escapes Via Check
OGDEN, Utah (UP)—An alert
housewife found she was being
defrauded by an alleged insur-
ance salesman, but the man
smoothly worked his way out
with another swindle.
When the salesman called, Mrs.
Norman Olsen bought a policy
and gave the man $7 for the
initial payment. Later Mrs. Olsen
became suspicious because the
man had told her further pay-
ments would be made at a local
bank. She called the bank and
confirmed her suspicion.
Next day the salesman called
again, trying to sell “insurance”
for the rest of her family. Mrs.
Olsen angrily d e m a n d e d her
money back. The salesman ■ was
indignant at having his “honor
questioned” and wrote a check
for $7 on an Idaho bank.
The check came back several
days later marked “insufficient

sender to sign a name the blind
recipient could read?
On the reverse of the card
were prepared simple instruc-
tions. By following them and a
Braille chart the sender can em-
boss his own name in Braille
characters.
The publishers think they
have found a way to bring the
blind and the seeing closer to-
gether, and to the seeing a bet-
ter understanding of the plight
of the blind. And they think
the chart on each card might
help a friend to bring an under-
standing of Braille to some
blind person who does not know
this way of reading — and thus
brighten and broaden his life.
Small Daughter
Of Army Colonel
Slain in Japan
By STAN CARTER
SAGAMIHARA, Japan, Nov. 23
(AP)— Army investigators said to-
day they were stumped in the
vicious slaying of the 9-year-old
daughter of an American colonel.
However, they suggested the
killer may have been someone
she knew and trusted.
The killing, left a haze of fear
over this huge U. S. Army hous-
ing area, which usually rang with
the shouts and laughter of play-
ing children.
Funeral services will be held
Tuesday for pretty, red-haired Su-
san Rothschild, whose gagged
body was found in a drainage
ditch shortly after dark Saturday
by her father, Col. Jacquard H.
Rothschild.
Her face and neck had numer-
ous bruises and scratches, Army
doctors reported after an autopsy
but “there was no evidence of
rape of attempted rape.”
Investigators for the Army’s
Criminal Investigation Division
(CID), however, did not discount
the possibility of an attempted
sex crime by a killer frightened
away before he could violate the
child.
An Army spokesman said in-
vestigators had found no clues to
what the Army termed a “brutal,
vicious murder” and that it was

BOSTON—Ever think of send-
ing a greeting card to a blind
person?
How would he read it?
What design could carry to
him the spirit of Christmas?
For a long time, a Boston
greeting card maker felt that
the blind were the forgotten
people on those days when
cards are exchanged. So the
firm tried to do something
about it. After what seemed like
an endless succession of obsta-
cles, Rust Craft has prepared
cards for the blind — Christmas
cards first, with others to fol-
low. Rust Craft will make no
profit from them.
Here were some of th prob-
lems: What design? How to
make a design a blind person
could “see”? How to prepare
the verse? How could the send-
er sign his card?
Designers undertook to teach
themselves to think and act as
the sightless do.
The design? It had to be sim-
ple. And yet their efforts at an
embossed, raised design were
at first a failure. The blind, ac-
customed to reading patterns of
dots, failed to make any sense
out of what felt like a series of
irregularly shaped dots.
Experiment finally brought
forth a raised design of textile
fibers: a Christmas bell, a
Christmas tree, candles. These
the blind could feel and under-
stand. And to help, the verse al-
ways refers to the “picture.”
The verse or message has

folks forget their good manners when they use the party
line. It’s only fair to keep calls reasonably short and spaced
out. Makes telephone service better for everyone that way.”
