Leaders of science, Industry and education made the forecasts at the dedication of (Westlnghouse) radio station KDKA's new f>0,000 watt transmitter. The prophecies were engraved on wax transcription discs and hermetically sealed In a glass crypt to bo preserved for the next two decades. They will bo broadcast In 1959 as a greeting from the past. Among developments the speakers held posslblo In the next twenty years were: Increased leisure, with science directing man's work, and art occupying his play; distribution of work! among all, "so that none shall ever go hungry, naked or athlrst", control | of dread diseases and all-glut^ build-j ing blocks that will slash construe-j tlon cos18 and provide "an almost Indestructible structure." Dr. Samuel Hardin Church, president of Carnegie Institute of Technology. predicted that "all men will carry the radio in their pockets and converse through It with the ends of the earth" and Dr. Edward R. Weldleln, director of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research forecast: "The progress being effected in treating pneumonia will no doubt bring this dreaded disease under medical control In the next twenty years. Likewise cancer will be much better understood," Ceorge H. Bucher, president of the Westlnghouse Electric and Manufac-j turlng company, declared the home of the future will be "built around its electric power supply" and that from any of a number of control centers "the hotnemaker can give her commands to appliances at work in the kitchen and laundry."

CAPONE EXPECTED TO HEAD FOR FLORIDA THIS MONTH Miami, Florida, Nov. 5.?The vineclad walls of A1 ,Capone'B Palm Island home soon will replace bleak prison walls for the prohibition-period overlord of Chicago gangland. Eight years ago the federal government imprisoned the high mogul of the underworld for income tax violations. He has known no freedom since, except that permitted by a cell or a guarded exercising ground. Sometime this month Capone is , due t^o be liberated. It is expected he will avoid Chicago like a plague, and. dressed in his flashy finest, head for his expensive estate on the tiny artlfcial island. There cocoanut palms rustle their fronds in the breeze. Hibiscus hedges border walks and Bougainvlllea vines trail walls. There is a big, white house, and behind it an ornate swimming pool. A pier for the cabin cruiser Juts into the sparkling bay waters. Capone, locked in the rock recesses of Alcatraz where he served many months of his sentence, must have recalled many pleasant days behind these other walls. It was here that he entertained lavishly in his heyday. Frequently he emerged from the privacy of his costly retreat for a'day at the races, or for a trip In a chartered airplane to some sun-sparkling West Indies isle. Some of Ills guests?Diamond I^ouis Cowan, for instance?met violent deaths after returning North. And some events at his home were unpleasant, for Florida didn't want him and made it unmistakably plain. Owen F. Wooten, Charlotte taxi driver, carried Mrs. Rachel Taylor McCready, 26, to the outskirts of the city early last Wednesday night and shot her to death, and then shot himself, dying two hours later. Jealousy over the attentions of another man to the woman caused the murder and suicide. J. A. Frew, 45, manager of tho King Cotton hotel barbershop in Greensboro. N C, was found in a locked closet of the barbershop last week with a bullet hole in his head. He db d two hours later. Frew left no word indicating a reason for suicide. He is survived by his widow and two child ren. High School Youth I Returns $300 Found I Billy Hanklns, fifteen-year-old high ; s school lad of I^exlngton, son of Mr. ! and Mrs. Brevard Hanklns, happened to be on his way to school one morn* ! Ing last week and stopped by the ' pestoffice. As he started in he saw ; some folded currency lying at the curb and picked it up. To his utter | amazement he found the wad was i composed of three $100 bills. Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Handy, of Atlantic City, had just driven thelv car off toward Miami, Fla., but the lad not knowing what to do with the I money carried it to school with him fl until lunch when he ran home to turn B it over to his mother. B In the meantime, Mr. Handy discovered many miles southward that the three $100 bills he had folded in a vest pocket were gone. He wired Mrs. L. J. Simon of West Second Av- fl enue in Lexington at whose home the Handys had stopped for the night to visit these old friends, of his loss. He noted he had gotten out of the car in front of the postoffice and B again at a certain filling station. Mrs. Simon contacted these places but found no trace. Then she raked up all the leaves on the lawn at her .B home in the hope that maybe the bills . had been lost there. About mid-afternoon she heard that Billy Hanklns had found the money described. Convinced the money belonged to the Handy's, Mrs. Hanklns turned it over to B. F. Green, Lexington merchant, for safekeeping after wiring Mr. Handy at Miami that the money had been recovered. A neat reward went to the proud finder of the monWhen young Hanklns got home at lunch time he was pale with excitement as he handed the money to bis mother. "Mother, why don't you get excited?" he asked when she took the matter calmly. "Folks who lose $300 won't l?ee much time Inquiring," she repUod.? Monroe (N. C.) Enquirer.
