Leonard Dickman, 74, was reunited last night with four daughters who had |ferred he died 24 years ago. They learned he actually had left them and their mother in Cincin- nati because he didn’t want to be a burden on them. He had suffered a nervous break- down as a result of a rheumatic condition, he said. Dickman, now an invalid, ex- plained he has been living on a old-age pension in one room in a | St. Louis tenement district. Although several years have passed since he was declared le- y dead and his insurance col- jlected by his wife, one of his Man Is Reunited With Daughter arranged for last night’s reunion. It took place at the home of Mrs. Dolores Simmons. Mrs. Etta Charbonneau and Mrs. Ruth Ann Hornback, two other daughters, also live here. Mrs, Blanche Mc- Coy, the other daughter, still lives in Cincinnati. Dickman told: the daughters he had made two trips to Cincinnati trying to find them. He learned on the last visit, he said, that he had been declared legally dead and that his wife, now dead, had re- married. Not only did he find four daugh- ters last night, but seven grand- children and one great-grandchild. “I jist can’t get over it,” he | daughters found him Monday and said. oe THREE HOTELS IN MIAMI at POPULAR prices Located in the Heart of the City REASONABLE ROOMS WRITE or WIRE RATES for RESERVATIONS with BATH and TELEPHONE Ritz Pershing Miller HOTEL HOTEL HOTEL 132 E.

The Japanese are blamed this time—for making “genuine” Nav- ajo handiwork and selling it at one fifth the Indians’ price. And right here on the reservation, no less. The activity was brought to light by Ned Hatathli, manager of the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild, in a formal protest to Washington. Hatathli said the local tourist market is being flooded by beaded Indian belts, Kachina dolls and bows and arrows, all made in Japan. “It may only be a matter of time before Navajo rugs made in Japan are sold here,” said Hatathli.
