Last week the Government reported that its index of leading indicators-statistics that foreshadow trends in the economy-dropped in October for the second month in a row.

Signed Document. Last April, having waited the proper time, Mrs. Michaels took her case to a Chicago judge who declared Michaels dead. Mrs. Michaels then returned to the SSA office to get her money.

The highest scorers are tapped by the Service as vacancies occur and start at salaries ranging from $8,500 to $10,520 a year, depending on their prior experience. Recruits take a basic two-month course in criminology, surveillance and firearms use at a former military camp in Georgia. Next come another two months of schooling in Washington and suburban Beltsville, Md., to learn the specialized skills of the Service...
