Bandit Trapped

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 21-Police
chalked up quick arrest today lin
the case of the black toupee"-
thanks to the sharp eyes of a the
ater ticket taker.
Elizabeth Reardon handed over
$50 last night when a shiny-haired
young man appeared at the ticket
window, showed in a small bag and
note reading This is a holdup.
Put the money in the bag"
AS he leaped into car and drove
away Miss Reardon noted down
numerals of the California license.
Shortly afterward police picked up
a man sitting in California-n-
censed car and booked him as Jo-
seph Mercier. 80, of Los Angeles, on
robbery charges.
They were puzzled, however, be-
cause Mercier's bald head bore no
trace Of the shiny black locks no
tlced by the theater cashier.
Then they searched the car-and
found black toupee.
In the police lineup Acting Capt.
Edward Dillon said, Mercier ad-
mitted holding up the theater to
buy food for his wife and child. He
said Mercier had worked in a West

PEORIA, ILL.,, March 21 tP.-
George P. McNear, jr., president of

President Roosevelt had ordered the
seizure of his line.
Newspapermen informed him of
the order and Mr.. McNear said he
might issue statement later in the

order, he said, and did not know
what procedure would be followed.
The United States marshal here
and J. o. Brown. assistant United
States attorney, remained in their
Offices awaiting instructions from

against all non-defense construction

John L. Haynes, chief of the build

said the new order would follow the
principles of the policy directive.
That document did not forbid non-
defense building If supplies were
available; it merely directed that no

The new order will transform that
policy into law and, in view of the
increasing shortage of building ma
terials, probably will bring to a
gradual halt all new construction
except war projects and homes in

are limited in cost to $4,000. No

In further explanation Of his de-
cision to accept the Maryland offer,
Shaughnessy said he didn't wish to
burden Stanford during these crit
ical times" and that he felt he
would be doing the school a favor
by leaving now.
There is likelihood that the uni
versity's income from football will be
sharply reduced next fall because OF
the Army's disinclination to permit
crowds of more than 5000 to gather
anywhere on the Pacific Coast.
Shaughnessy said the choice OF his
coaching staff at Maryland will be
entirely in his own hands, as the
university is not bound to retain
any Of the 1941 personnel He added,
however, that he has made no deci-
sion yet as to his aides.

Alexandria station.
A few minutes later, Hagan turned
up at a tavern at West street and
Braddock road. Leon Miller, 1910

According to 1t. Hawes, Hagan
fired a shot across Braddock road
and then fell to the ground.
Bystanders telephoned police, and

scene, Hagan put up quite a fight
before he was disarmed and sub
dued, police reported.
At the police station, he was
booked on charges of attempted

and drunkenness. He will be ar
raigned in Police Court Tuesday.
