Returning to the village they made discreet IN
quiries and found that milkman and driver Tor
bakery had just made deliveries at the cottage.
The barber in the town identified Reszka as man
he had shaved that morning.
Meanwhile King and Mosher were reinforced
by other police officers including Detective Tom
Tunney of the New York police, brawny brother
of the former prizefight champion of the world.
They arrived in a variety of cars, in delivery
wagons, limousine with uniformed chauffeur.
There submachine guns under furred lap
robes, inside of egg crates, inside a plumbers
repair kit. The police had exercised professional
skill in hiding their preparations From what they
had learned their man would come to the house
toward evening
They saw no one approach as long as there
was daylight.
Then they saw single electric light turned on
in the house. They crept forward. The house was
surrounded
Detective Tunney, bigger than his famous
brother, stealthy tried the front entrance With
revolver cooked he rammed his vast shoulder
against the door Behind him and all around the
house men stood with trigger fingers ready.
The door crashed, glass splintered and Detec-
tive Tunney and others lunged into the house. The
light was in the living ROOM The police famed
out through the house. They crashed every door,
hammered at the walls for hidden hollows,
stormed through garnet and cellar, then gave up,
mystified.
Nobody was seen to come into the house. No
body could have slipped out unseen. Yet there
the bulb turned on. How, who why? Then
someone found simple gadget that turned the
light automatically at a certain hour.
There was also note with it. 1t read:

Sorry but had to leave Help yourselves to the

Oh, yes were disappointed and our smiles
at this humor were rather wry, yet that message
a hopeful sign. Our game had outsmarted us
but the cocky confidence of the note revealed that
they were Understanding their enemy We were
grateful for that.
What added variety to the hunt for the gang
was that the gunner added sidelines to their spe-

1t was that dreary
drudgery which makes
such dull reading that it
must always be slurred
over in the telling. Often
as much as $50 is all for
nothing, but, if it is slurred
over in the actual doing,
cases like these are likely
to remain unbroken until
all concerned die of old

SUFFICIENT COAL
 STILL AVAILABLE
No Shortage Likely in New York; City Close to
 Penn. Fields
(By United Press)


 The oil-starved east coast was confronted today by the prospect of mid winter vacations in its schools, restaurants open only at certain hours and several congregations sharing one church.
 The shortage already was acute, and the new, 25 per cent cut in ra- tionS for non-reSi6ential dwellings threatened serious dislocations from the Canadian border almost to the Carolinas. If still another reduc- ton is necessary, many non-essen- ttal industries and amusements may have to close until spring. Schools heated by oil may close until the weather gets warmer and complete their terms by running that much longer in the summer.
 Motion picture theaters may be open only at certain hours, and those running double features may eliminate one to run the same num- Der of shows in a little more than half the time.
 Different denominations may club together to use one church on one Sunday and another the next Sun- (day, as they did in the last war when there was coal shortage. Naturally, such measures would not be universal Many places are heated by coal. Daniel P. Wooley, commissioner of New York City markets, in denying shortage re- ports, said there was sufficient coal in New York and there would be no shortage. New York City is relatively close to Pennsylvania coal fields.
 School authorities in New York City were worried. 100000 grammar and high school students and 30000 college students attend classes in buildings heated by oil. Some 20 per cent of the $50 mo- ton picture houses in New York City are heated by oil. Many mo- tion picture theaters, as well as other businesses in New York Coun- ty (Manhattan) are heated by the New York Steam Generating Corp oration, which sells steam from mains as gas is sold in other cities. The steam is generated by coal. A number of oil heated restau- rants in New York City faced the same situation as theaterS. They, however, may partly solve the prob lem by opening g. few hours in the morning, at noon and early night. A children's hospital and jail already have been closed in New York City.
 New York City is surrounded by scores of suburbs. Most of the schools in them are new and heated by oil. The same situation prevail ed in Connecticut.
 The situation generally was worse in New England than in New York. Boston English high school, the city'S second largest, closed yester- day because of lack of fuel oil. Authorities in Boston had made temporary quarters available for persons unable to get oil to heat their homes. An emergency supply of kerosene was brought to Boston yesterday, however, and 1000 900 gallons more were expected to ar- rive today. and it was believed the situation would be eased somewhat.
 Col. Thomas F. Sullivan, Massa- chusetts state emergency fuel con- servator, warned that the situation was still critical, and said authori- ties were ready to care for all un- able to get oil.
 The Harrisville, R. T., mill of the Saltwater Worsted Company ran out of oil yesterday and had to close, but officials expected 8 ship ment momentarily.

 Two Japs, former students in the United States, are .eported handling the t2,000 man Jap invasion army units in Northern Japan. These men would specialize in follow up, after combat troops, in commanders ing radio stations, telephone switch boards, gasoline stations, highways railways, bus lines and power houses. One is Lieut.. Henry Shimanouchi, a former San Francisco resident. and as of Dec. 2, l941, in charge of Japax's so-called cultural society in Rockefellef Center. The other, Capt. Frank Matsunnoto, was athletic di- rector of Waseda University in TolSio who entertained visiting American college and professional athletic teams.
 A bicycle, the chief means of transportation in Shanghai, now costk $10,O00 in Chinese currency. The Japs, pre-Pearl Harbor, were the worlds largest bike manufac- turers, making them from processed American scrap at 8 apiece and selling them on a one year install ment plan to the natives of Indo- China, and Malaya. In the drive on Singapore, Bangkok. and Ram goon, the .Japs seized the bicycles and literally peddled their way through the peninsula. Tokyo has an estimated 2,2O0, GOO bicycles. Few have coaster brakes, which are the costliest part. The ingenious Jap manufacturers decided to leave off the expense part = if you want to stop. ,fall off.
 Sir George Samson, one of the British officials really familiar with Japan, has been appointed economic expert on Far Eastern affairs to the British Embassy in Washington. His counterpart in the American Embassy in Tokio was Frank Starr Williams. Both Sir George and Frank Williams were outstanding authorities on Japan's plans for war -7-but few wanted to listen to them, especially the cotton people who were selling the Japs on credit and wanted Williams to help collect their billsl

is desEous of having the appoint ment made tonight. This will mean there will be TWO assessors instead of one.
 Henry H. Titley has been doing the work in the office and is now being assisted by Miss Ellen Scanlon who is connected with the welfare department office. Miss Scanlon has started to prepare the records for the new grand list. She worked last year in the office.
 The investigation was ordered after complaint was made to Com missioner Walsh by Representative William Painter and Burgess J. Ru- dolph Anderson, Republicans, who believe the records are not kept properly.
 Besides appointing an assessor the board must name a borough at torney and building inspector. As Attorney Martin L. Caine has the endorsement of the Dmocratic town committee, he is expected to be ap- pointed borough attorney to succeed Attorney James P. Sweeney who has held the position several years. The latter has received the votes of the Republican burgesses. Building h. spector Andrew Bentley, also m- dorsed by the town committee, is expected to be reappointed. In the contests over this post which were staged at the last several meetings of the board, MT. Bentley did not receive 8 vote.
 Joseph w. Reynolds was supported by the Democrats and the Republi- cans supported Walter Kosloski, 8 Democrat. It now looks as though MT. Bentley vii lbe favored over MT. Reynolds. Mr. Kosloski is ex- pected to again receive the Republi- can votes.
 A reliable source said today there is definite possibility a paid fire man may be named, but discounted reports a regular policeman will be appointed, asserting there is no need for it.

T0DAY'S WAR
 MOVES
(Reg. U. s. Pat. Office)
 By LOUIS F. KEEMLE Press War Analyst

NOhVNo ACoo wal <AAAaAyotI
 American air power is asserting itself more and more in the Pacific area, disclosing what is likely to de- vf1elop into fatal weakness on the part of the Japanese.
 Over the Weke-end, American fly CTS shot down 48 enemy planes in the Solomons-New Guinea zone, with loss of only five of their own. This ratio of about nine to one has been almost hthe rule rather than the exception in recent operations. The wek-end bag, which included an attack on Kahili airdrome on Bougainville Island, was preceded by the destruction of 43 Japanese planes at Kahili on Friday.
 Power of BOmbers
 In addition, American planes were able to make a long distance flight of 2500 miles to seriously damage the enemy's oil supply on Borneo. Coupled with recent raids on Wake the Kuriles and other Jap- anese outrosts these exploits are convincing proof of the power and range of our bombers, and they are only preliminary.
 AS our advance bases are extend ed, the main Japanese islands will be brought ever closer to within striking distance. Just as the de- e.:ze of the uftwaffe has become enc of the most potent factors in E;t!er's impending defeat, so will Allied air supremacy, linked with superior naval power, lead to the eventual downfall of Japan.
 Primarily Naval and Air
 The war in the Far East is pri- marily naval and air without which ground forces would be useless and the necessary amphibious operations impossible.
 There is no apparent chance that Japan will be able to keep pace with the growth of Allied air power any more than Hitler was able to in Europe.
 The same applies to naval strength. Japans losses since Pearl Harbor have been consist ently out of proportion to ours and Japan's replacement rate is far in ferior.
 Naval Superiority
 Our present naval superiority may be given a sharp boost upward Italian question has been settled towards clear supremacy when the and the only hostile fleet in the Mediterranean removed from the picture. That will release the bulk of the British mediterranean com plement of heavier ships rlus some American ships for duty in the Pa- rife. The problem of taking over the island bases neded for the as- sault on Japan will then be much closed to solution,
