Make Good Team
OKLAHOMA CITY, (^—Bal
let dancer Louise Fornaca likes to
bring houses down.
Her husband. Tom Clcland,
prefers to put them up.
Louise is part of the road show

home.
So far the Clelands haven’t had
any career trouble. For two

He is giving daily matinee per

on a brick wall of the Citizens
State bank. Standing room only.
Prisoners Foiled
In Escape Try
FAIRBURN, Ga. t/P)—Nine pri
soners were foiled in an attempt
to blast their way out of a stone
wall prison here with dynamite
dust smuggled in their shoes, war
den M. F. Tyree reported Wednes
day night.
One prisoner was wounded by
gunfire, said the warden.
Tyree said the wounded man
was Cornelius Thomas, Negro,
serving 65 years for robbery.

total farm income, may not grow
enough to feed itself by 1960, pres
ident Ray B. Wiser of the state
farm bureau federation predicts.
The reason, he told the annual
hop growers convention Friday, is
that the population is growing
faster than the crops.
“Our population is increasing so
rapidly that in the 1960’s Califor
nia will become the number one
state,” Wiser said.
“With the shortage of water that
has developed in late years it is
evident that California cannot re

spection, he said.
One of the men, Tyree continued
was believed to have smuggled
the dynamite cap into the bar
racks in his mouth. Only a short
fuse was used.
