if \•'V November Price .Five Cents ASTLE A small but vivid fraction of the 250 kids who participated in the costume contest at the Dads Club Hallowe'en party at Horace Greeley. Photo by Stephen Fay Dads Hallowe'en Entertains Kids We drove up to Horace Gree ley early Wendesday morning just to see whether it was still standing, and if it was, whether it could ever be used for educa tional purposes again. Our ad miration for the contractor who built the school glowed on our faces like the sunrise when we saotthat it still stood four-square to™he breezes and was in, full Libel Suit Filed On Digest Article r • The Header's Digest, a national magazine with editorial oihc&s in New Castle^was-sued this wee* iom&H million as the result of an article on Alabama prisons which it reprinted from another maga zine, if ront Page Detective, which magazine was sued for half a million dollars for the original printing oi the article. The plain tiff of tne first suit, for $1 million, is Governor James E. Folsom of Alabama, and the plaintiff of a half million dollar suit is William HfcDrinkard, of the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles. The suit against Front Page De tective, also for half a million dollars, was fllleflhy Frank Bos- well, director of thV \Alabam a De partment of Corrections and In stitutions..., . The article reprinted by the Digest, which Governor Folsom said he warned the. magazine w0 libelous, was about Kilby Prison in Alabama, and was ti tled \Devil's Island, IT. S.

And their parents besides. It was a difficult crowd to estimate, swooping through the halls, the cafeteria, the gym, the auditorium and half a dozen classrooms, but our guess, coin ciding with the New Cast.e po lice's, was 900 happy kids, 1JJ half-harassed parents, and the hard-working members of the Dads Club. The success of the party can be measured by more than the returns in fun.

Grier, Democratic opponent of the present interim incumbent, said today at his home that he is fighting not alone for Justice office, but against one-party gov ernment in New Castle and the lackadaisical complacency that is bound to arise from one party unopposed; against the propo sition that the Justice office should be closely associated with this one-party government; against the isolation of certain portions of the Town from repre sentation in that one-party gov ernment; and finally against the notion that there is an especial local brand of law which can be dispensed only by a judge of long residence in the community and long service to his party. Mr. Grier's' statement is as follows: (Continued on page 10) The New Castle News ENDORSES THESE CANDIDATES U. S. Senator Herbert H. Lehman Governor Walter A.
