SAY BOMB KILLED KNUTE ROCKNE South Bend Newspaper (Vriet Story of Report Which Is Denied South Bind, Ind., Jan. 6? The South Bend News Times said in a copyright article today it had learn ed "from unimpeachable sources" that a gangster's bomb intended for a priest caused the 1931 air plane disaster in which Knute; Rockne and seven other men were ?' killed. - The newspaper said that govern ment operatives attached to the aviation department at Washington were investigating ttjp- case and were satisfied a time-bomb- blew up th? airplane in which the .famous ' Nctre Dime coach was traveling to the West Coast. The paper said the bomb appar ently was intended for the Rev. Fr. John Revnolds, C. S. C., a wit ness who aided in convicting Leo Brothers of killins; Alfred 'Jake) Lingle,. Chicago Tribune reporter. It was "mere chance, the paper said, that Rockne instead of Reynolds ?vras killed. Rockne's body was mut ilated when the airliner suddenly came apart and crashed to the eax?Ji of a Kansas farm. "Considerable effort is being made to conceal most of the details of the bombing angle, until such time as the government operatives can ap prehend the perpreta tors'," the newspaper said. Government agents in Chicago and Washington told the United Press they know nothing of the newspaper revelations. A high offi cial of Notre Dame University said "There must be Some mistake" be cause, he said, Fr. Reynolds never had planned to go by airplane to the West coast. The Rev. Fr. Charles L. OT)onnell, president of the University, said the story was "ridiculous." Hie Rev. Fr. F. A-. Mulcaire, vice-president of Notre Dame, said he had not been questioned by any Federal op erative and did not believe any other priest at the university -had been questioned. "Father Reynolds, according to the information, had booked pas sage to California on the plane, but changed his plan at the last min - ute." the newspaper stated. "Fortune or circumstance put Rockne in the! plane instead of Father Reynolds." , -Rockne was en route to Holly-1 wood to assist in filming a football moving picture when he was killed. o Carroll James, a 4-H club boy of Hay wood County produced 9.5 weighed bushels of corn on 73-100 ? of an acre during the past season, i New French Cabinet Poses for First Group Picture The members of the new French Cabinet formed by Joseph Paul-Boncour (fourth from left, in front) following ,the recent downfall of the Herriot government, are pic tured In Paris Just after they had called on President Le brun. The new Cabinet has virtually the same personnel as that of ex-Premier Herrlot. FACTS ON MOTOR OIL CONSUMPTION "The average car running ^prty miles an hour consumes oil twice as fast as the same car at thirty miles an hour. When you tftep on the gas and run at fifty miles an hour, you use four times as much oil as at thirty miles an hour. At sixty miles an hour, oil is consumed nine times' as fast." These facts, according to Mr. R. M. Allen, District Manager of the Standard Oil Company of N. J., are known to comparatively few motor ists. "If you drive fast," says Mr. Allen, "you can't avoid high oil consump tion. Of course some oils consume faster than others, just as some oils are more affected by the heat of the engine and oxidize faster. The speed at which you drive has a lot more to do with the amount of oil I used than the miles you travel. Thousands of miles of carefully controlled tests have established these facts. "How often to change the oil in 1 a crankcase is a problem each driver must decide for hte own car. No hard and fast rules can be laid down. Regarding the recommenda tions for changing given by the car manufacturer, it is well to bear in ' mind that these oil suggestions are j for new motors and motors In first, clags mechanical condition, and even | then are modified by driving condi- 1 tions. Old cars always use more oil." | The tremenducg heat generated j in the automobile engine at high speeds, according to Mr. Allen, causes motor oil to oxidize, forming sludge and interfering with proper circulatio nand lubrication. Oxida ton is also responsible for formation of carbon. With some oils this may be negligible while with others the condition is exaggerated. "To be on the safe side," Mr. Al len says, "it is seldom wise to run more than a thousand miles between oil changes. Not only has oxidation lowered the lubricating and protec tive qualities of the average oil by that time, but in spite of air filters, oil filters, and othfcr devices, enough fine road dust has come in through the breather tubes and the carburer tor to cause dangerous friction and wear ? and higher consumption of oil. The faster one drives the mope often the oil should be changed." The average car, according to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, is driven about 7,500 miles a year. "When you are tempt ed to skimp on oil," says Mr. Allen, "think over the following facts, and remember that oil costs a lot less than repairs."^ "If your crankcase holds five quarts of oil, and one quart of oil is consumed every two hundred miles, your total oil bill for a year would be less than $18.00, with motor oil at 25c a quart, providing it is j changed every thousand miles. II you put off changing for two thous and miles, you save only about $3.00 a year, the lowest premium you could possibly pay on insurance against big repair bill*." Birthday Celebration For Wm. F. Readel Again our old soldier of the bat tles of life reached another birth day, Dec. 28, 1932, making it his 86th bjrthday. Since all the children played San ta, and patrons of the party, it reached its^peak on Wednesday 28. He received lots of congratulations | and many nice presents. Mrs. J. W. UmStead claiming the honor of pre senting him with a new grand daughter. To write up an article so in line with the usual, is almost as hard as for the young pupil looking for a subject for his first composi tion; and rarely gets farther than the subject. Owing to the inclemency of the weather several failed to get here, j One, however, who has kept all the > previous "write-ups" has asked that this should be done.. What can be better than a fire- , side resume of the life of our sub ject? Wm. P. Reade. Born near his present home at Mt. Tirzah 1846. Attended the neighborhood schools, and then went to Roxboro to Mr. Hasel Nor wood ? living with hte uncle, Hon. E. G. Reade, under whose home tutorship he was advanced in the art of making correct estimates, and of showing the difference to other* ? two marked characteristics. As he had barely reached man hood he was called into the service of the Confederaiy. and nearly died of exposure. As he was a jr. re serve he was- there only a short while. Returned home. Clerked in Rcxboro. Kept a mill, a&o tanyard. Twice married. First to Miss Em ma Moore? ^second to Miss Pamela Wyche. With different ventures he had quite an experience. Kept Hate? in Roxboro for six years. Liking the freedom, quiet, and peace of country life, he returned to Mt. Tirzah 1879 near his brith place. where he has lived 53 years. So having married in 1870 he has? been a keeper of a home for 62 1 years, and a more than generous provider. Taufftit S. S. for about 20 years when he gave it over to Mr. A. S. Webb, our teacher of the Reade land Academy. A hint to some of yoii young la dies ? when you want a good man, And one who is engaged in a good work. Another which commends him ? no one ever comes in who is so lowly he does not shake hands with him ? quite different from the "bet ter than thou* ^attitude affected by some. Did he even sit down with his clothes scattered, and the hearth unswept? Not he. No pamperer of self. So true worth will out. He has loved the country, and made it his home. And although the roads were treacherous he has never allowed a visitor, or a child to miss his train. A careful farmer ? no hungry stock around him. As he has point ed out, strong horses and fat cattle are {he only ones that pay for their keep. Even his wife thought he did a little unnecessary work at the ends of his com rows, etc. But from him learned that that is the only way to get pleasure out of one's BR. R. J. PEARCE ' k.
