KylePortrait Unveiledas BrownSpeaks llio annual Labor day celebra­ tion in Cedarville was highlighted by a morning program at Cedar­ ville college at which Clarence J. Blown, congressman from the seventh district, delivered an ad­ dress praising Sen. James II. Kyle Cedarville native who as senator from South Dakota authored the Labor day bill in congress; the unveiling of a portrait of the late senator which was painted by Elmer Jurkat; and concluded with festivities at the community park which lasted well into the evening. Speaking at the college. Rep. Brown pyx*sed the 80th congress’ Taft-IIartley bill and urged la­ bor to accept it loyally as the law of -he land. (Complete text o f Rep. Brown’s address will be found elsewhere in this issue of the Herald.) Following the address, Marilyn and John Kyle, children o f Dr. and Mrs. Donald Kyle, relatives of the late senator, unveiled the portrait o f Sen. Kyle which had been painted by Elmer Jurkat, Cedarville, and recently appoint­ ed to the art .department of Wit­ tenberg college as an instructor. Personal greeting were also sent by Secretary o f Labor Lew­ is B. Schwellenbach which read in part: “When we reflect that 53 years ago, Sen. Kyle, urged successfully upon his colleagues in congress the nationwide ob­ servance o f this day as a tri­ bute to the dignity and majesty o f American workers, we can but feel a resurgence o f faith in the effectiveness o f our democracy.” R. R. Bangham, Wilmington, assistant state welfare director, spoke briefly in behalf of Gov. Herbert who was unable to be at the celebration. A parade, for which Edwin Bull, commander o f the American Le­ gion, was grand marshall started the festivities from the Kyle resi­ dency on South Main street. Immediately following the speak­ ing program at the college, Rep. Brown went to the community park to officiate at the flag raising ceremonies. Mr. Bull wishes to take this opportunity to thank all those who help in any way to make the paiade a success. A luncheon at the college for* approximately 80 persons hon­ ored Rep. Browm. After the lunch, he gave an o ff the record talk and answered many questions on the issues of the present day. CompleteText DfRep. Brown’s LocalSpeech Dr. Vayhinger. L a d i e s and Gentlemen: I feel that your community has conferred upon me a great honor in asking me to speak to you here today. It is a real pleasure to come to Cedarville and to visit Cedarville C o l l e g e . Certainly there is no more typically Ameri­ can community in all the nation than this. And where could one go to find a more beautiful village? Cedarville is in the very heart o f the most productive section of Ohio. Your soil not olily produces fine crops, but it also produces great men. Perhaps other small community has given to the nation more leaders in agricul­ ture, education, science, business and the affairs o f State than has Cedarville. Certainly no other small community anywhere in our country can boast o f a finer educational institution than Ce- darville College. Today—the first Monday in September—is Labor Day. AU over the nation, in communities large and small, our fellow Americans are taking this day out o f the hurley-burley o f mod­ em life to reflect upon the great contributions which have been made to our public welfare by Labor, and to pay tribute to the workers who by their toil have built this Republic into thc,gieat- est, strongest and most prosper­ ous nation on earth. (Continued on Page Four) ManHunton AfterShooting NearCedarville Law enforcement officials in southern Ohio and Kentucky have been alerted fo r a Xenia ex-con­ vict, Clifford Gayles, 34, negro, after a wild orgy Sunday in which he reportedly shot one person and slugged or stabbed three others in a trail o f violence that extend­ ed from Xenia west to Dayton and southward into Kentucky. According to the sheriff’s of­ fice, which first received an in­ timation of the outbreak o f one- man outlawry shortly after 3 p. m. Sunday, Gayles had gone* to* the home o f Mrs. Russell David­ son near Wilberforce, to pick up her 17 year old daughter, to whom he had been paying attention. When her older sister, Mrs. Ol- lie Davidson Guy, 22 Cleveland visiting there, objected to the two leaving together, Gayles shot her in the right hip and then fled with the young girl. Mrs. Guy was found in the front yard of the house and taken to Spring- field City hospital where her con­ dition was described as only “ fair.” Gayles weapon was tentatively identified as a German Luger pistol. He was said to have fired twice. 3'he second shot missed her. Gayles then, according to au­ thorities, picked up his wife in Xenia and the trio drove toward Dayton. He later let his wife out of the car at the intersection of Belmont and SmithviUe roads, ad­ vising her to get a taxi. She was intercepted by state highway police, however, and taken into custody. Still near Dayton, officials said the ex-convict forced a man iden­ tified as “ Junior” Steele to drive him and the Davidson girl in the Steele car'toward Cincinnati. On the way Steele was able to escape and fled to a farmhouse at Germantown where he notified state police in that vicinity. In the meantime Gayles drove to Post Town, about three miles north of Middletowh, where he forced his way into a parked car in which Mrs. Edna Akins, 33, and her son, Paul, 10, were seated The four drove o ff toward Mid­ dletown and in the course o f the ride both captives were beaten and stabbed, according to police. Mrs. Adkins was stripped o f her clothing and tossed from the car in Middletown while her son was thrown from the vehicle a short distance beyond, over a thirty-foot embankment. The two were taken to Middletown hospital. Last victim was Egar Rizzo, 45 Highland Heighs, Ky.* who was stabbed while the pair was in the Cincinnati area, repqrtely after his car smasheed that driven by the fleeing ex-convict and his youthful companion. The last person to have seen the pair was a gas station attendant somewhere in Covington ,Ky. The attendant informed authorities after hearing & radioed descrip­ tion o f tljg. pair. Gayles, according to authorities was convicted o f fatally stabbing Rep. Clarence J. Brown raises flag at community pax-k on Labor day. Also shown in the picture are Knrlh Bull, R. R.

Hoge and Wright View eouncilmen, against whom p v/rit of mandamus was allowed by Common Pleas Judge Frank L. Johnson recently, re­ plied Saturday with a plea for dismissal o f the action. The council countered with a charge that a petition demanding a vote on surrender o f the vil­ lage’s three-year-old charter, was “ falacious, faulty, untrue, p ro -, cured through ignorance, and was not a true expression o f the .will of themajority of the electorate of Wright View village.” The council’s answer indicated that it, top, had not been idle on the petition-circulating front. It said that the council had “ in turn circulated three petitions now am­ ply signed by certain voters of the village asking that their names be withdrawn from the (Rev. H. P. Morgan) petition.” The petition in question was circulated early this summer un­ der the leadership o f Rev. Moi'gan a village minister, and signed by 190 citizens. It was submitted to the council with no resulting ac­ tion. Instead it was the cause of a lxiinor furore for several days over its alleged faultiness, as charged in the council’s latest answex*.

GreeneMemorialHospitalBond Is ueToGotoCountyVotersonNovember4 The above architect’s perspec­ tive o f a hospital was ordered by the Greene Memorial hospital committee to give voters an ex­ pert’s view o f what they can buy fo r the community with the $950, 000 proposed issue in bonds if approved at the November elec­ tion. ** Actually, the decision on style o f architecture, construction and other details must be left to a commission appointed by the gov­ ernor, after the bonds are voted. The view above shows the exter­ ior perspective o f a lQQ-bedbuild- ing in modern, highly functional pattern. It was drawn by Macon G. Williams, 38 West Third street Xenia, aix architect now connected with Wrighe field. The center entrance indicated by the automobile in front of the two-story section is conceived ak the main entrance, leading to the administration and admissions offices, nurses quarters,_etc. The entrance at left to the three-story portion is the ambulance entrance*, and opens on the corridors and' elevators leading to surgery delivery zooms, private tom wards. The architect has indica­ ted galleries on the rear of this building so patients may be moved J * easily from their rooms into the» sunlight. The on6-story wing at the right is conceived as the out­ patient department, with offices and consultation rooms for phy­ sicians and surgeons and a dental clinic, A solarium is provided on the roof o f this wing for conva­ lescents1. Parking' is indicated in the rear. * Thejbuilding, as conceived by > .Mr. W|lliam3, indicates concrete slab-fcobstruction and extensive use of glass brick and a maximum of natural light. It also admits o f additions of wings with a minimum o f expense and incon­ veniences. However, these also are construction details to be de­ termined by the legally appointed building commission, after the electorate has approved the bonds. This commission will be composed of four persons, two from each . o f the two leading political par­ ties. This commission will turn „ the building over at completion to an operating board of four members which will staff and operate the institution. Kyle was unveiled during the Labor day ceremonies at Cedar­ ville college. —Photo by Rigio courtesy Springfield News-Sun. WUCaseIs Airedin.Court OnTuesday A fighfc for control o f Wilber­ force university, in progress since June when the AME church trustee hoard dismissed Dr. Ghar- les H, Wesley as president, was aired publicly Tuesday when a hearing on a motion filed by the church trustees, seeking to pre­ vent Dr. Wesley from using Wil­ berforce property, opened in com­ mon pleas court before Judge F. L. Johnson. Opening arguments were pre­ sented by both sides before court adjourned fo r noon recess. The hearing was resumed at 1:15 p. m. and completed that day, al­ though Judge Johnson gave no decision. Counsel for the church group includes Julius R. Samuels. Cin­ cinnati, who presented the open­ ing argument for the plaintiffs; Sully James, Springfield, and .John V. Gibney of the Xenia law firm of Smith, McCallister and Gibney.
