SILVER CITY, N. M., Aug. 26
—UP— Clarence Curtis (Jack'
Armstrong, 49, Tuesday night sign-
ed a statement saying he beat a
30-year-old Glove, Ariz., woman to
death Saturday night, then buried
her body in a shallow grave on the
•Walking X Ranch south of here.
District Attorney Thomas Foy
said he would file murder charges
against Armstrong, a former Globe
resident himself, during the day.
In his statement, Armstrong said
he and Mrs. Ruby Carbenas, who
had been staying with him in a
trailer home here, had quarreled
following a drinking party at a
Lordsburg tavern, police said.
He said when they returned to
•he trailer, she attacked him with
jf?r fists and fingernails and later
with a knife. He said he "beat and
kicked" her in self defense, put
her to bed when she fainted, then
went to sleep himself.
He said when he awoke about
daybreak, he discovered she was
dead. He said he loaded her body
into the pickup, drove to the deso-
late, arroyo-Iaced ranch and bur-
ied her in a two-foot deep grave.
The body was found Sunday by
a rancher who saw the pickup
Jracks and followed them to the
rave thinking some rustlers might
be at work on his ranch.
gentlemen ot the road attending
annual Hobo Day crowned their
new rulers.
Box Car Betty had been favored
to unseat Sylvia Davis from the
hobo queen's throne. She won de-
spite her complaint that her liv-
ing quarters in the city jail were
a little drafty.
McDougal, believed to be one of
the nation's oldest "Knights of the
Road," won his crown through an
upset. The early favorite was Hobo
Ben Benson, a roving reporter for
the Hobo News.
Benson maintained he wasn't a
candidate this year, but had strong
support from the East, West,
North and South—his territory.
Hoboes have crowded this small
north central Iowa town for their
annual gettogether for 54 years.
They and their guests consumed
400 gallons of "slumgullion stew"
at the coronation.
Gopher Teeth
MADISON, Wis. — UP — The
conservation department reports
that a gopher's incisor teeth grow
46 inches a year, almost an inch
a week. But the animal's incessant
gnawing keeps the teeth at a usa-
able length.

Two Dead, 43 Hurt
In Valley Crashes
HARLINGEN. Tex., Aug. 26— UP
—Two persons were killed and at
least 43 others injured in three
major traffic smashups Wednesday
in the Lower Rio Grande Valley,
two of them involving trucks load-
ed with Mexican farmhands.
One accident occurred northwest
of Lyford, the second a mile south
of La Feria and the third two
miles east of Mercedes, Tex.
The mishaps, which filled two
hospitals to overflowing, took place
within a few hours of one another.
A Lyford, Tex., woman, Mrs. A. K.
Hocott, was killed in one accident,
and a bracero, Ramiro Munez Can-
tu, in another.
State highway patrolman Jim
Warner reported that 21 Mexican
contract workers, or braceros,
were hurt when a truck in which
they were riding turned over after
colliding with a car south of La
Feria.
Hospital Crowded
The truck was driven by Leslie
Raymond Moore of La Feria, the
car by Mrs. Eluteria Reyna, also
of La Feria. Neither driver was
hurt.
All 21 persons injured in the ac-
: cident were taken to Valley Baptist
j hospital in Harlingen. Hospital ad-
j ministrator Henry Morrison said
the institution was already crowd-
| ed because all Valley polio patients
are being treated there.
He said cots were being placed
i in halls and more beds were be-
ing sough from Harlingen Air Force
] Base. At least eight of the injured
j braceros will stay in the hospital
overnight, he said.
"The hospital has never been so
crowded before," Morrison report-
ed.
Seventeen more braceros and
i three U.S. citizens were injured in
; a smashup three miles northwest
. of Lyford. Mrs. Hocott, about 75,
was killed in that wreck.
Truck Overturns
j Warner said 30 contract work-
I ers were riding in a truck which
collided with a car driven by Mrs.
Hocott's husband. The couple lived
in Lyford.
The injured were rushed to Ray-
mondville, Tex., Memorial Hospi-
tal. Only one bracero and two oc-
cupants of the Hocott car, how-
ever, required overnight hospital
care.
Warner said Mr. and Mrs. Ho-
cott had recently celebrated their
54th wedding anniversary and were
starting a vacation trip. There
were four persons in the car.
The third smashup involved a
pickup truck driven by Galvino
Mendez, 20, of Mercedes. Warner
said the pickup went out of control
east of Mercedes and turned over
in a ditch.
Cantu, 24, a bracero, was killed.
A third occupant of the truck, Ger-
man Dias, 36, of Mercedes, suffer-
ed third degree burns and was re-
ported in serious condition.

Those Saucers
Are At It Again!
WOODWARD, Okla., Aug. 26—j
UP— A mysterious object, white, j
| and "round like a saucer," flew t
over northwestern Oklahoma i
Wednesday and drew an audience j
of 1,500 neck-stretching persons in j
downtown Woodward.
The "thing" hung in the air!
south of Woodward from about
11:30 a.m. until noon, and then
moved west—against the wind—
said Bob Rives, news editor of the !
Woodward Daily Press.
Rives said the wife of a radio
operator at the Civil Aeronautics |
Administration station at Gage,
Okla., 25 miles west of here, 1
| watched the object through binocu-
lars and reported it appeared to
be in two sections, joined together.
Weather stations at Gage and
I Oklahoma City said it wasn't any j
j of their balloons.
"The CAA at Gage says they j
| think it's a balloon, but they're;
i baffled because it's traveling
against the wind," Rives said.
He described the object as ap- j
j pearing "about the size of the un- j
sharpened end of a pencil, flying;
above the clouds and moving pret-!
ty slow." He estimated the speed
of the wind from the southwest at
15 miles an hour.
"No one knows what it is," said
j Rives, "but it's got everybody in j
downtown Woodward looking at it."

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 — UP—
More Americans than ever before
—59.5 per cent of the population
—were members of churches and
synagogues in 1953, the Yearbook

cent of the population, according

million or 19.8 per cent of conti-
nental Americans are listed as Ro-
man Catholics. The ratio between

Interior Ministry Says
250,000 Mexicans
May Be Employed In US
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 26 — UP—
The interior ministry has estimat-
ed that some 250,000 migrant work-
ers will be employed under con- j
tract in the United States this year. I
Spokesmen said recent "wetback j
roundups" by the U. S. Border Pa-
trol in Southern California-Arizona i
and Texas were forcing American
farmers to more legally entered \
"braceros" than ever before.
But they said only two "bracero" !
processing stations were in opera- j
tion now. The Mexicali and Ira-!
puato stations have been receiving |
orders recently for specially-skilled
farm workers, they said.
The estimate of 250,000 braceros j
in 1954 compared with the some I
200,000 who were hired last year.
