Soaring Credit Buying
Brings On Bad Debt Boom
NEW YORK, W — The Wall
Street Journal said today that
soaring buying on credit is push
ing a rising number of delinquent
bills into the laps of collection
agencies.
A survey by staff reporter Ray
Vicker said that collectors attrib
ute the bad debt boom to the
widespread easirig of credit terms.
The newspaper added that the
credit easing has helped to push
up the volume of instalment
credit outstanding by $2,700,000,
000 in a year to a total of
$24,100,000,000 on May 31.
Although exact records of un
collectable bills are not available,
the survey indicated that this
year’s total is running ahead of
last year’s by at least 10 per
cent.
Half our fears are baseless and
the other half are useless.

Three-Man Tribunal
Denies New Trial for
Dr. Samuel Sheppard
CLEVELAND, —Dr. Samuel
H. Sheppard got a “fair trial by
an impartial jury” and is not en
titled to a new trial because of
error, an appellate court held yes
terday.
The three-judge tribunal reject
ed a contention by attorneys for
the handsome, 31-year-old osteo
path that there were 37 errors in
the 10-week trial that ended last
Dec. 31 in a second-degree murder
conviction.
Since July 4, 1954, when his
pretty and pregnant wife, Mari
lyn, 31, was beaten to death in her
bed at their Bay Village home,
Sheppard has professed his inno
cence. He blamed the murder on
a bushy-haired prowler.
Roller Coaster Repair Man
Dies After Being Struck
By Thrill Car Train
NEW YORK, GPL-For 23 years,
Edward C. Santo had been a roller
coaster repair man at Coney Is
land, nimbly stepping from the
tracks to the safety of a catwalk
when the thrill-ride cars ap
proached.
Yesterday Santo, 43, apparently
failed to hear a three-car train
coming. It struck him as he was
examining tracks about 35 feet
above ground, and knocked him
10 feet over to the catwalk.
At the end of the ride horror
stricken passengers reported the
accident to Santo’s son, Edward
Jr., 17, who was handling fares j
and sending out the trains at the
roller coaster entrance.
Young Santo rushed to his fath
er, who died a short time later at
Coney Island Hospital.
LONG AND SHORT OF IT
DETROIT, Gfl—Eleftherios Ka
vounidis, 34, asked probate court
Monday to change his name to
Larry Andrews.
“Even my wife can’t spell my
name,” he said.
WASHINGTON, (AV-The House
Appropriations Committee called
Tuesday for an abrupt halt to all
construction work on the $125
million Air Force academy project
at Colorado Springs, Colo.
It said it wants the architectur
al design “more firmly estab
lished” before any more money is
spent on the “West Point of the
air” formally dedicated at Denver
ceremonies only Monday.
The action was taken as the
committee recommended to the
House a money bill carrying more
than $1 Yz billion for a wide vari
ety of federal activities in the
bookkeeping year which started
July 1.
The recommendation is subject
to action by the full House, which
follows the appropriations com
mittee in such matters more often
than not, and then by the com
panion Senate committee and the,
full Senate. House action is sched
uled Thursday.
Not only did the committee re
fuse to approve $79 million in new
funds asked for the Air Force
academy, but it said none of the
money remaining out of $15 mil
lion appropriated earlier should
be used for construction work un
til “a further specific request . . .
has been approved by the com
mittee.”
Construction started last spring.
The committee based its action
solely on the proposed design for
! the academy, which has stirred
criticism in Congress and else
where. The committee suggested
that Air Force Secretary Talbott
consult on a design with the Fine
Arts Commission, an advisory
group to the government.
Possible effects of the commit
tee’s action were not immediately
clear. But the recommendation—
if upheld by the House and Sen
ate—might delay completion of
the academy for from six months
to a year. The Air Force had been
planning to move into the acad
emy by the fall of 1957.
A human being transferred to
conditions similar to those found
on the surface of the planet Jupi
ter would be simultaneously fro
zen, asphyxiated, poisoned and
pressed to death by his own
weight and the weight of the at
mosphere which is about a mil
lion times the weight of the at
mosphere on the earth.
