building development ever undertaken
by private capital as the fourteenth
unit of the Center neura completion.
Dally 25,000 office workers, enough
to comprise a good aized town, troop
lo work in the various offices of the
buildings, which are daily visited by
approximately loO.OOO persona.
The Centor, covering 12 acres between
Fifth and Sixth Avenues and
West Forty-eighth and Flfty-llrat
Streets, is dominated by the seventystory
KCA Building, housing the modern
radio studios of the Natlonul
Uroadcaating Company. Clustered

nearly 11,000,000 man hours of
labor It sits on land owned by Columbia
University, which receives a
yearly rental of $3,000,000 for the
property
In P'2^ John 1) Rockefeller, Jr.,

years for a business development in
which a new Metropolitan Opera

first building, the It K. () . was hegun
in IP 32.
Numerous Important works of eontemporary
art decorate the buildings

8CIENTI8T8 DIP INTO FUTURE
TO PICTURE WONDERS
Pittsburgh, Nov. 4.-?Pocket radios
that will penult men to converse
"with the ends of the earth", nearly
"Indestructible" hulldlnKs of glass
blocks, armchair controls to put automatons
to work In the kitchen and
laundry, those?and more?were predicted
today for 1959.
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."
"If rocket ships become a reality,;
then aluminum will he used in their:
< oustru< tion." prophesied Roy A.!

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.?
