OP—A retired parkway policeman shot and killed two negro brothers outside a tagnem last night. The former Westchester county parkway officer, Stanley Labenskey, 49, of Yonkers, was charged with second degree murder. The victims were Wyatt Blacknall, 30, and his brother, James, 22. Chief Assistant District Attorney Frederick E. Weeks told this story: Wyatt and James were at the bar with another brother, William, 28, when Labenskey entered. The latter asked if the tavern served Negroes and if the bartender "washed the glasses." The three Negroes left the place and Labenskey went after them. He shoved a gun in Wyatt's stomach and said, "I suppose you don't think I'd shoot." As Wyatt backed away, he was shot dead. William ran for help. When alld arrived, James was dying of two bullet wounds in the stomach. Weeks said Labenskey claimed Wyatt had pulled a knife but the only knife found was a small, unopened penknife.

When the conversion project is completed the fair grounds will have in new locations a cafeteria building, a home economics and junior department exhibit building, the administration offices near the south Main Gate, five cattle and horse barns, and a new confor station.

According to Fullenwider, the project will get under way immediately with progress to be made as fast as details are arranged. "The moving and remodeling of these buildings, along with the other contemplated work, will provide more adequate facilities during fair time, be a step forward in the beautification and planning of the entire grounds and progress toward expansion in line with the rapid growth of the Orange County Fair," stated Fullenwider.

Happiest girl at Northrop Aircraft these days is Patricia Miles, 21, winner of a round-trip cruise to Honolulu in the company's recent Defense Bond contest. All decked out for her Hawaii trip, Pat is thrilled as she reads about the luxurious accommodations she'll receive on the journey. She hasn't set the date for the excursion yet, but the company is granting her extra leave for the trip. Another part of Pat's prize was $200 in expense money for use on the Islands. This was the climax of a drive at the firm resulting in the purchase of a Northrop Scorpion F-89 all-weather interceptor for the U.S. Air Force by the company's personnel through Bond subscriptions.

Cypress Anaheim Cal Tech Students to Serve as Observers on Mobile Economy Run LOS’ ANGELES—Selected engineering students from the California Institute of Technology will again this year serve as American Automobile Association observers on the Mobilgas Economy Run it was announced by Dr. Peter Kryopoulos, assistant professor of mechanical engineering. Forty-five students were chosen from among more than 100 applicants. Engineering students were picked because they have the technical knowledge to qualify as observers but do not have professional affiliations with any company according to the A.A.A. Each student’s application is approved or rejected by the dean, and because this year’s run will be a long and arduous trip to Sun Valley and the pupils will be away for a week beginning April 14, only those whose marks indicate they can afford, scholastically, to miss a week’s classes are accepted. “The integrity and efficiency shown by Caltech students in the past have been major factors in the success of the Run and we are delighted to again have them participating,” says A. C. Pillsbury, Regional Director, Contest Board, A.A.A., which supervises the event. “Because every effort is made to see that the contest reflects the conditions under which the average motorist drives, the observer must watch carefully to see that no special advantages accrue to the driver, who, while a non-professional, is admittedly an expert. “Controls must be manipulated in a normal manner and the engine must be kept running while the car is in motion. No trick driving is allowed, and all traffic regulations must be scrupulously observed.” Some 60 different places on each car are sealed and only an A.A.A. official may break one of these seals. Whenever a seal is broken the observer “must not leave the car or take his eyes from the unsealed part until it is resealed,” according to the regulations. He must be the last to leave the car and before doing so he must lock all windows, doors, and the trunk compartment and keep the keys on his person. There are hundreds of other things the student-observer must watch out for. For weeks before the Run he is schooled by top automotive engineers in the pertinent phases of automobile instruction and operation. Then, at the last moment, he is assigned to a particular car and reassigned at each overnight stop. This year’s Run will be a longer and more rigorous test of regular passenger automobiles than any previous Mobilgas Economy Run. About three out of five U.S. homes now have telephones, almost twice as many as had them in 1920. Although the metal nickel is widely distributed, there are only a few places where it is concentrated enough to be mined. broken the observer “must not leave the car or take his eyes from the unsealed part until it is resealed,” according to the regulations.
