Swindlers Get Space-Minded Spellbound, the wealthy New York widow listened to the story of the man sitting beside her of how, just twenty-four hours previously, he had returned by flying saucer from the planet Venus, where he had been a guest of its rulers and sat with them at their council tables. You probably wouldn't have been taken in by this plausible rogue, but Paula, the widow, was forty-five and impressionable, and listened starry-eyed to the eloquent stranger. "The leading scientists I met on Venus," he went on, "have unravelled secrets undreamed of down here. Their most fantastic device, a 'modulator," extracts power direct from the atmosphere. "It's cheaper and far richer in energy than anything in the atomic line developed either in the United States or Russia," he added. The man continued talking about this stupendous new power. Then, with Paula hanging on to every word, he produced the ace from his fraudulent pack. "The Venusian authorities," he said, "trust me. I've their full sanction -- and all the essential blue prints -- to erect the first •modulator' on Earth. "There's just one difficulty. It's my job to finance the project. As you can guess, it will need much capital. Perhaps you'd like to help a little?" Paula's eyes moistened."Well," she confided, "my total savings amount to some $35,000. But because the 'modulator's such a terrific thing, I'd be happy to lend you every dollar to promote it." Accordingly, at their next meeting, Paula handed over her fortune to this man, whom she had met casually in a restaurant. She interested some of her friends, too, in this fantastic enterprise. One backed it with #19,000, another with $8,000. Her delight mounted, when the crook placed a further confidence in her. He asked her if, later on she would type out his manuscript describing his stay •n the planet. Its publication would be a sensational success and bring in further funds for the cause. But then, very suddenly, the •rook vanished. Some weeks later she heard, from one of his accomplices, that he'd returned to Venus and ther_-because of an accident, would be detained for some months. In her concern for him, and his wonderful project -- she was not worried at this stage about her money -- she wrote to the United States President. Her letter went on to the F.B.I. Finally, its agents tracked down the "visitor to Venus." He was not convalescing on the planet, nor was any space-travelling machine necessary to find him. He was lying low in a Texas hideout, richer by some $60,000 for his "modulator" fraud talk. DRIVE WITH CARE! MERRY MENAGERIE "One consolation -- we don't have to worry about spoiling an only child!" SPACE COCONUT--A Thor missile data capsule looks like a large split coconut after its recovery from the sea. The shell is foam plastic protective covering. Ejected ot 25,000 feet, the capsule was found more than 1,000 miles from its Cape Canaveral launching spot. Magnetic tape recorder, battery power pack, radio marker beacon, dye marker, and a "Sofar" explosive bomb were placed in the 18-inch globe. It's True What They Say About "Dixie" Though his feats are but a memory, "Dixie" Dean, oi Ever-ton, is still one of soccer's best loved characters. Of all the centre forwards who have played in International soccer since the end of the first world war, only Tommy Lawton -- to whom he taught most of his tricks -- can compare with Dean in heading ability. The fantastic tales of his feats told by older soccer fans art quite true. And to this day the record total of individual goals in a season is held by Dean, with the sixty he scored for Everton when they won the championship in 1927-28. Strongly-built, with a powerful neck and strong forehead, he had all,the physical attributes a footballer needs. Terrific ipeed over the first ten yards swept him past many a surprised opponent; he could shoot hard with either foot, on the run or while turning. Above all, it was his uncanny ability to leap above his rivals and head the ball with bulletlike speed that made him the most feared centre forward of his day. For all his spectacular methods, Dean was not a deliberate showman. Yet no showman could have shown a better sense of the dramatic than Dean did on his great day at Goodison Park, his home ground, one hot. afternoon in May, 1928 Everton were meeting Arsenal in the last match of the season. It had been expected that this game would decide the League championship, but Huddersfield, Everston's rivals, had lost a midweek game, and with it their chance. So Everton took the field with the championship secure. But there was a crowd of over 50,000 to greet them, drawn there by the hope of seeing a scoring record smashed. George Camsell, the Middlesbrough centre forward, had set up a League record by scoring fifty-nine goals the previous season. ,Now, only a yeai later Dean, the hero of Merseyside, was on nodding terms -- literally -- with a new record. At the kick-off his total was fifty-seven. He had ninety minutes in which to score three goals Could he get them? One great advantage trom his point of view was that, with the championship safe, his Everton team-mates could concentrate on giving him the ball. It didn't matter if Arsenal won by, a dozen goals so long as Dixie Dean scored three! So "Give it to Dean!" was the cry every time an Everton man got the ball. Excitement was at a pitch rarely known at a League match, and the players responded. Three goals came in the first five minutes -- and Dean scored two of them. He had equalled the record and there were still eighty-five minutes to go! Yet it was Arsenal who scored first, when Everton s goalkeeper, probably thinking ot other things, fumbled a ball from Shaw and let it go into the net. Within two minutes, however. Dean had put Everton level. An Arsenal defender was harried into conceding a corner, and as the ball came over there was Dean soaring above everyone else with a prodigious leap. His head met the ball, there was a quick flick, and the ball was in the net. Paterson, the goalkeeper, scarcely had time to blink. The roar of applause was deafening, but more was to come. Only a few seconds later, with Arsenal plainly shaken by this goal and the noise accompanying it, Butler hade a faulty tackle as Dean was going through in the penalty area. There were loud boos for the Arsenal man, which changed to cheers as Dean picked himself up, unhurt, placed the ball on the penalty spot, and retreated to take the kick. For a mom'ent the cheering was snuffed out by a thick blanket of silence, as Dean paced out his runup. Then the ball rocketed into the net, and the roar was let loose a^ain. For several minutes there was THEIR LEADER'S BOY-Fidel Castro Jr., nine-year-old son of the Cuban rebel lec on the shoulders of jubilant rebel troops on his arrival in Havana. The boy, living in New York since November, 1958, returned to Havana v ' ' Cuban exiles who had been living in New York. pandemonium. Time and again Everton tried to give Dean the ball. Sometimes he was too hemmed in by opponents to reach it, but too often his colleagues were too excited to place it properly. Occasionally he did get it. Once the crowd yelled "Goal!" as he shot from twenty yards. The ball sped just inside the post but somehow Paterson flung himseif across from the other side of his goal and clutched it. Another cry was drowned when the Arsenal goalkeeper pulled down a header that was soaring in under the bar. Just before half-time O'Don-nell turned the ball into his own net to put Arsenal level, but the crowd were only mildly interested. All they wanted now was one more goal, from Dean. The Everton players went off at a terrific pace in the second half in an effort to provide it. For several minutes Arsenal seemed swamped by blue-shirt-ed players, all intent on following the crowd's instructions to 'Give it to Dean!" But they were far too anxious. They crowded; they passed hurriedly and inaccurately, and on the occasions when he did get the ball Dean himself seemed overcome by the occasion. On the few chances he did get with a clear run he shot weakly or headed wide. At all other .times he found Paterson playing th* game of his life in the Arsenal goal, bringing off a series of miracle saves. So the game wore on; full of thrills but lacking the one the crowd longed for -- a goal from -Dixie. Only five minutes remained now; but not a spectator left the ground. Then, suddenly, it happened. There was a movement down the Everton right wing. The ball lloated across from the corner flag and there, once more, was Dean, leaping high out of a crowd of players. His head connected. Another quick flick, and the ball was in the net and the record in the bag -- with only five minutes to spare and probably the last chance he would get. And, as it happened, it was the last chance. Arsenal equalized a minute later, through Shaw again, but the crowd didn't care. They had seen the most important of the thirty-seven hat-tricks Dixie Dean was to record in his career, and they went home happy. "Nowadays," said the pessimist, "a pedestrian is a guy who knows there are still several gallons in the tank when the gauge points to empty." Did you hear about the new perfume that drives women mad?
