Phantom Artists Paint Police Dept.
NEWARK, N.J. — (UPI)—It was not an unusual request and the men in blue who work in Police Chief August J. Rauscher's office scarcely paid any attention when a stranger wandered in and asked to use the rest room.
Permission was granted and the officers thought nothing more about it until the man returned a few moments later and announced with some indignation:
"That room is a mess. It needs painting and plastering." More specifically, he noted that the green paint was faded and peeling from the wall in spots.
THE STRANGER then offered to paint the room. That led to a long discourse on possible color schemes. Rauscher's assistants entered into the spirit of things and it was finally decided that pink and tan would best provide the desired effect.
Thirty minutes later the man was back, dressed in coveralls and accompanied by two assistants bearing ladders, paints, brushes and other equipment.
They immediately got to work, patching the cracks, painting over everything and when the rest room was spic and span, they moved into the halls where they continued their volunteer work.
A FEW POLICEMEN who brushed up against the wet paint complained because no signs had been posted. A call went in to Peter Calcagno, city hall's painting foreman.
"I don't know of any painters in police headquarters," Calcagno said. He rushed over to investigate and found painters working busily on the third floor.
"What are you doing here?" Calcagno asked.
"Painting," said one of the trio, belaboring the obvious.
Calcagno accepted that for what it was worth and departed.
JUST BEFORE finishing the job, one of the men noticed a small window that was broken. He measured
it, dashed out and returned with a piece of glass and replaced the broken pane.
When their work was completed, the phantom painters abruptly left, presumably in search of more unkempt fields to conquer.
The surprise visitors came several days ago and police still have no idea who they were.
Demos Hope For'62 Seats
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Congressional Democrats professed today to see a rare political trend running in their favor this election year. Some talked hopefully of the possibility that the President's party might for the second time in history pick up congressional seats in an off-year election.
Congressional Republicans retorted that this is nonsense. They asserted that the GOP is certain to gain seats in both the Senate and House next November. But some Republicans privately were not as optimistic about the extent of these prospective gains as they were a few months ago.
The conflicting appraisals were advanced as Congress moved into its second month of operations with action temporarily at a standstill. The lawmakers agreed there would be no business in the House or Senate this week so Republicans could have plenty of time for their traditional Lincoln-Day rallies back home.
Congress has not yet made any final decisions on the long list of controversial issues which could have a bearing on the voting next November.
About the only major measure enacted during the first month of its session was one that would ease the tax and stock market impact of court-ordered disposal of Du Pont's holdings of more than $3 billion of General Motors stocks.

Ex-General Is Criticized
Students have a steadily increasing number of opportunities for travel and study abroad.
By Walt Blackledge
Many organizations are offering foreign travel and study programs. Some of these groups are nonprofit, others are wooping students for dividends. Some organizations are reputable and others are not.
Clark Coan, assistant to the dean of students, has a large file of information on foreign travel plans to help KU students make plans.
Most trips and study plans are centered on Europe. American Express has tours to the Soviet Union and the Near East this year.
Some student organizations, such as the National Student Association and the Council on Student Travel, have arranged travel and study programs.
"This guy is just like Daddy War-bucks (the comic strip character)." Wheatly said. "He believes that any person that doesn't believe as he does is an enemy of this country." "I don't think he will be elected," Wheatly said. "I don't think he knows what he is doing. And I don't believe the people of this state want that kind of a man in office."
Universities also have developed many plans. KU has four programs—the junior year in Costa Rica, a direct exchange of graduate students with 15 European universities, three summer language institutes (which
Learning never stops for engineers at Western Electric
Kansan Classifieds Get Results
There's no place at Western Electric for engineers who feel that college diplomas signify the end of their education. However, if a man can meet our quality standards and feels that he is really just beginning to learn . . . and if he is ready to launch his career where learning is an important part of the job and where graduate-level training on and off the job is encouraged - we want and need him.
At Western Electric, in addition to the normal learning-while-doing, engineers are encouraged to move ahead in their fields by several types of educational programs. Western maintains its own full-time graduate engineering training program, seven formal management courses, and a tuition refund plan for out-of-hours college study.
This learning atmosphere is just one reason why a career at Western Electric is so stimulating. Of equal importance, however, is the nature of the work we do. Our new engineers are taking part in projects that implement the whole art of modern telephony, from high-speed sound transmission and solar cells to electronic telephone offices and computer-controlled production techniques.
Should you join us now,you will be coming
to Western Electric at one of the best times in the company's history. In the management area alone, several thousand supervisory jobs are expected to open up to W.E. people within the next 10 years. And our work of building communications equipment and systems becomes increasingly challenging and important as the communications needs of our nation and the world continue to increase.
Challenging opportunities exist now at Western Electric for electrical, mechanical, industrial, and chemical engineers, as well as physical science, liberal arts, and business majors. All qualified applicants will receive careful consideration for employment without regard to race, creed, color or national origin. For more information about Western Electric, write College Relations, Western Electric Company, Room 6206, 222 Broadway, New York 38, New York. And be sure to arrange for a Western Electric interview when our college representatives visit your campus.
