WANTED: ONE BILLFOLD MADE
BY VETERAN NOW IN HOSPITAL
“Love to Geneva, rom Jerry."
These words were carefully inscribed by Jerry Williams
young war veteran from Clyde, on a leather billfold he made
and gave to his wife.
To Geneva the billfold became a cherished keepsake
_ A few days ago Geneva lost the billfold containing $6
• while shopping in Abilene. She searched everywhere and
advertised for it, without results.
Under ordinary circumstances, Geneva would not be con-
cerned about its return. Jerry might make her another.
But, now he can't. Jerry is a victim of cancer and is in
a veteran’s hospital in Dallas. Geneva has been told he’ll
never come home again.
Finder of the billfold may deliver it or mail it to Mrs. O.
H. Cowley, 1135 South Third St. Geneva will get it

BLOOMINGTON, Ind , Aug. 11.
(P—Three crews of investigators
studied charred fragments of a
Greyhound bus today in an at-
• tempt to learn why it carried 15
persons to flaming death yester-
day.
An even grimmer investigation
moved slowly ahead at an emer-
gency morgue in the National
Guard armory. There weary offi-
cials and dazed relatives tried to
identify the last of the bodies of
the victims.
Five bodies remained unidenti-
fied today.
e Investigators for the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Indiana
State Police and Greyhound Lines
were going through the wreckage
at the Greyhound garage in India-
napolis.
They would say little, but Super-
intendent Arthur M. Thurston of
State Police stated that a prelimi-
nary examination had disclosed “no
evidence of mechanical failure.”
Earlier, Driver Wayne Cranmer,
25, Indianapolis, had said. "It
seemed like the steering gear went
out. Either that or we had a tire
blowout. I don't know what happen-
ed."
Coroner Robert E. Lyons subse-
quently clamped down on any fur-
ther statements. Whereabouts of
Cranmer, who left the hospital
after treatment for minor injuries.
was not disclosed today.
The tragedy was three-fold in
one family. The list of identified
dead included a mother and her

Juvenile Institution Probed
After Misconduct Charged
LOS ANGELES, Aug 11. lift-Of-
ficial inspection will be made to-
day of a Campo, Calif., juvenile
institution from which 16 boys and
girls were removed on court order
after reports of sexual misconduct.
Dr. Louis Josephs of the State
Department of Mental Hygiene
said today's inspection will be the
third he has made since the Mary
Burke Foundation opened in
January.
He said he would not make a
decision on revoking the school's
state license until after visiting it
today. “On this inspection I will
determine whether the foundation
has complied with recommenda-
tions made on the last inspection in
June,” he said.
Superior Court Judge Rymond
McIntosh, sitting in Juvenile Court
here, yesterday ordered the re-
moval of 14 boys and two girls who
had been sent to the institution
from Los Angeles County.
Two employes of the foundation
were arrested last week on
charges that they arranged a love
tryst between a 16-year-old boy
and a 21-year-old woman, both in-
mates.
The two are the head matron,
Mrs. Mary Akers, 37, and Clinton
St. Clair, 51, formerly in charge of
the boys dormitory In a statement
presented at their preliminary
hearing, Mrs Akers said the tryst
was never consummated, however,
because another employe interven-
ed. Both are awaiting trial in San
Diego on charges of contributing to
the delinquency of a minor.
McIntosh ordered an investiga-
tion of the two girls removed from
the school yesterday and said
that if they are pregnant charges
will be filed at once
