The Brussels Post, 1962-07-05, Page 3BECK GOES TO PRISON — Former Teamsters Union. President Dave Beck (left) s., .Aqs a U S marshal as they leave for McNeil island federal prison in Tacoma, Wash, Beck paid a $20,000 fine and entered prison to begin serving a five-year term, Beck was found guilty of income tax violations three years ago A HAZARD on HIGH SPEED ROADS Trying To .ove. .110.4 4s Right Arra was waiting at the eeer exit of Boston's Mess:tall- l'itto, General Hospital one morn- tee, recently. Twelve-year-old Everett (Red) KnOwlee paused, turned, . and waved hie left arm at the small cluster of doctors in the doorway. Then, taking care, root to bump his other arm, held, en a cast in front of his body, he ducked into the cab and began, the 4-mile trip to his home in Somerville, It had been three 'Weeks to the day since a fire- department ambulance had rush- ed the redheaded youngster to Massachusetts General's .ernere gency entrance. Dazed with shock, the boy had been found ;hitching his right arm which had been torn completely off just below the shoulder in a train accident, Within six. hours of his arrival, three waves of surgeons —aided by dozens of physicians snci technicians—had sown the arm back, a piece of medical derring-do seldom tried and so far never successful, First, the doctors carefully rejoined the two major veins and tingle artery of the arm, watch- ing triumphantly as a pulse returned to the wrist and the fingertips flushed pink with life. Then orthopedists drove a 9-inch stainless-steel rod into each end of broken bone, firmly reattach ing the arm, Plastic surgeons . loined the four main muscle groups and, in another operation five days later, covered the raw wound at arm and shoulder with skin 'from Everett's thigh. Despite the shock of the acci- dent and rapid succession of operations, the freckled youngs- ter was soon eating regular meals, playing electric football with his nurses ("But they didn't know anything at all about set- ting up their men"), and learn- ing to write with his left hand. While doctors worried about pos- eible infection which would . re- quire immediate amputation, Evg erett had only one concern: Would he ever be able to pitch again for his Little League team, the shoe - company - sponsored Stride,- Rites? Encouragement came from some of the people who counted most, American League president Joe Cronin sent Everett an autographed .baseball, Yankee aefthander Bud Daley wired: "I'm a pitcher like you e eald you may not know it, my tight arm is withered from polio, eo don't loge all hope," "I just wanted to drop you a line," 'wrote Ted Williams, "and tell lege. to hurry up and , get, beck tato that baseball uniform." But doctors are Jae /le harpy to t Everett, 'oath on the mound. mat critical operation of all reattach the nerves of Ev- erett's now useless arm—still lies ahead., "We have to wait for the bones to heal and the tissues to soften," said Dr. Ronald A. Malt, who is in immediate charge of the case. Hopefully, in two to five months neurosurgeons will hook up the three main nerve branehes, now held by temporary sutures to keep them from shri- voting. Whether the thousands of nerve fibers controlling the. arm will grow together and re- „Aare function will not be known for a year or two. Everett, greeting fellow Little Leaguers in the living room of the. Knowles' modest home, was eanfident about the next, most etude] operation.. "I'm not the least bit worried,” he said firm- ly, "Besides, if I can't pitch again, switch to third base." CHICKEN FARM FOR SALE I MODERN chicken farm, 4 acres, Inde- pendence, good income.

The other one began to cry. Next day their father, Fred Kelsey, waited for Charles to come out of school. Then he grabbed him and beat him with a stick. Charlie ran borne with a bleeding and broken nose. That night Charlie's father, a docker,c severe to kill the man hadwho beaten up his son• But *Charlie woulde't tell who it was. He would get revenge himself he decided. In order to gain more strength and fighting skill, Charlie train- ed as a wrestler at a club. His coach made him turn pro —and soon he had his lips per- manently twisted and his right ear smashed. Having lost his father, soon af- ter leaving school, Charlie — his face now hideously deform- ed — applied for a job at a fac- tory. They turned him away. A local newsagent laughed at him when he wanted to become a paperboy. At a dairy, the foreman told him bluntly: "You'd never sell any milk with your face. No, my boy. Housewives wouldn't dare open the door to you." Next night Charlie broke into the newsagent's shop, stole 300 cigarettes and £2 17s, cash. He was caught within twenty-four hours. Borstal was no help to him, "There I learned the value of my face," Charles said, "The boys accepted me as a leader at once—just on face-value. Now, all I needed was more experi- ence. And I was determined to get it." Soon after he got out of Bors- tal, he did, a small job which earned him three months in pri- son, He found jail a real uni- versity of crime. He knew he would have to go back—to grad- uate. The long-delayed revenge on the Kelseys seemed to be a good opportunity to achieve that. When he first broke into Kel- sey's house the boys and their mother saw him stealing a radio, some cash and a suit. They were so ,terrified by his face that they did not dare stop him—even when he smashed the ' Windows and furniture. Pot that he got another sin months, The prison governor wanted him to learn a craft. Charlie was good at figures, so they let him study accountancy, Charles told me: "Of course, they didn't know my idea was to become boss of a big gang."

Coil This Sport Werid Wm* del:earned the scar-. t headlines in Santiago's Clare in. A war of sorts it was, indeed. The U.S had been obliterated l Mexico, Fraeete England, and Russia were no more. And ine the battlefields of Chile, it was the Brazilians, Czechs, Yugoslays, and Chileans who were showing the world hew in survive — et Soon-e. Sixteen iiativn:, tlali t ,lit 11t their way through the prelimine ary rounds of the World Cup soccer championships. Te the winner would go the coveted Jules Rimet Cup, at etake only once every four years, For many of the teams, victory was a mat- ter of national honor, defeat un- thinkable. Consequently, reports of the games often read very much like battlefield dispatches. 'rho mood of the campaign was set the first day by the Argen- tines, when they hacked and tripped their way to victory over the Bulgarians. Thousands of Chilean television viewers saw a member of their national team knock out an Italian with a left hook, The Spaniards were whis- tled off the field by an angry crowd for dirty play aaginst the Czechs, The Uruguayan squad injured the Colombian captain so badly he was sidelined for the rest of the series, "These games," complained an English sports col- umnist, "are being played by half-crazed, frightened men driv- en to extremes by team man- agers scared of defeat." After sixteen such battles, the casualty list totaled 53—ranging from broken legs, damaged ribs, broken noses, and fractured ank- les down to backs, thighs, and chests lacerated by the flailing boots of opponeets. Even before the tourney end- ed, an official sadly admitted there seemed little chance there would ever be another World Cup. International rivalry had made this one "soccer's most shameful saga of savagery," Stilt The Boy Who Never Grew Up It hardly seemed plausible that actor Mickey Rooney could be on his uppers. Bouncy as ever at 41, lie was stepping from one featur- ed role in "Requiem for a Heavy- weight" into another in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." His current wife (No. 5) sported a $4,300 leopard-skin coat. And in a generation as a Hollywood etar—going back to 1935, when he enchanted moviegoers as Puck in "A Mid-summer Ni ght 's Dream" — the pug-nosed little trouper has earned about $15 million. Yet last month Rooney pleaded bankruptcy, listing lia- bilities of $484,914 and assets of $500, and told newsmen: "I'm going to concentrate on getting back in the blue." Declaring himself hamstrung by unpaid taxes and other debts, race-track losses, and alimony and child support claimed by three of his ex-wives, Rooney noted in his petition that even the leopard- skin coat wasn't paid for in full. What made him buy it, if things were so tough? Rooney's lawyer explained: "Mickey's career wasn't going so well, the baby was sick . you know, when feelings run low, you buy some- thing expensive to brighten the day."

CL SSIFIED AMIE 'MING His Scarred Face Made Him A Crook BUSINESS PROPERTIES FOR SALE dance with him, Once he had fallen in love with a girl called Sheila. But she would have no- thing to do with him. "I want to be proud of the boy I go out with," she told hint, Charles knew that if be was rich he would have plenty of girl friends. But he could never make enough money in a job. So crime became the main source of income to him. The underworld was the only place which would accept him, crime was his only refuge, the only way he could earn the money that, with his brain, he should be getting. When a girl who refused to talk to him mar- ried one of the Kelsey boys. Charles broke into their house for a second time, Then, only the old man, Fred, was at home. Charlie robbed the house and beat up Fred, The charges brought against him failed, He made up a false alibi which convinced the jury, But a few months later he was sent to jail—for two years, He was found guilty of fraudulent conversion, He was thirty-two. He had nine convictions and served seven years in jail. It was the prison chaplain who really saved Charles Aram—and society—from himself. ,At first,,he tried id 'convince the—prisoner that he didn't need. to turn to crime, As a good ac- countant he could earn much more. Charles laughed at him: "With my face? An office job? I'm not pretty enough to make a milk- man. Housewives wouldn't trust me with their money. So why ehould businessmen?" Next day, the chaplain return- ed with another man. "He's a plastic surgeon," the chaplain explained. "Perhaps one of the best in the country. If you agree, he'll operate on you and you won't have to worry about your looks any more," "Who'll pay for it? Doesn't it cost a lot of money? I haven't got a penny," Charles snapped. "It'll be done through the Health Service," the chaplain said. Aram had three operations. After the third—he could not recognize himself. When released from the hospi- tal he walked straight down to the docks where most of his friends—and enemies—lived, No one greeted him. No one recognized him, He was just a stranger. He saw a girl walking towards him. There was something fam- iliar about her. Then he remem- bered, It was Sheila, He stopped her, The girl did not remember him, He had to tell Someone — so he told her all 'About himself. To his amazement, she listened and agreed to meet hint in the evening. It was Charlie's first proper date—at the age of thirty-four. And Shelia did not stand him up. A few days later a probation officer introduced him to a big firm of accountants in the City. The partners knew of his criminal record but—in view of the circumstances—agreed to em- ploy him under a different name. He got a job of minor importanee. Two years later he became a partner—with a luxurious office to himself.

The cashier was busy count- ing fivers when he heard the swing-door open. He looked up with an automatic can-I-help- you-sir smile, but the smile froze as he saw the man's face. With his right foot he sound- ed the electric alarm bell by pressing the button under the counter, Two minutes later, Charles Aram — as we shall call him— was being questioned by police officers. They knew him. as a professional criminal. "I wanted to cash a cheque," he said, and showed it to therms "True, he didn't try to rob the bank," the cashier admitted, "but I wasn't going to take chances on a bloke with a face like that." Aram had a boxer's broken nose, a wrestler's folded right ear and a scar from the chin through the lips up to the eye. "Isn't that enough to ring the alarm for?" asked the cashier. * a smart.

I don't make a secret of why I turned to crime. It was because of my face." I looked again at the smooth, well-groomed skin, the straight, almost aquiline nose, the bold, thick-set eyes. "Not this face. Once, it wet quite different," Charles, was s e v e n. He was playing with other kids in a nar- row alley near the London docks. He was the cop chasing a couple of robbers who had escaped through a warehouse door. He looked for them outside through a low-silled window, overbalanced and toppled head- first twenty feet on to a heap of scrap metal. He regained consciousness in hospital, "I had a broken leg, my face was badly cut and I was lucky that they could save my eye," Charles said. As a result of the accident he had a sear right across his cheek. Soon kicle were calling him "Scareace" all over the dis- trict. Other boys provoked him, "Let's see how tough you are, Se arface," they taunted him. He was always getting involved in fights and was often beaten up — because he was not as tough as he looked. To learn to de fend himself better, he took up wrestling.

How can I get more life out of a broom whose end has be- come so Worn that it does not sweep efficiently? A, Square the straws by fol- lowing these three steps: First, wrap two bands of tape close to the bottom with a little space between them. The tape should not be so tight as to cause bind- ing. Then nail two boards over the tape, one on each side of the broom, Last, saw the boards long- itudinally with a fine-toothed saw, and finally remove the boards and tape — and behold, a good broom again! Q. How can I make the job of cutting foam rubber easier? A. Press the foam rubber down hard with a flat board and cut it while it is tightly compressed. Unless this is done, it is very difficulty to cut foam rubber neatly with a knife or scissors. 4. How eau I improvise a "stick-proof" glee-bottle cork? A. Try using the stump of an old candle. This will not stick the next time you want to use the glue, and it will still prevent your glue'tram erealihg or hard- Q. flow can t clean illy oil MOD?
