low and pound out hours of good,
restful sleep.
Life for 71-year-old Peter Mac
kinnon Of Portobello, England,
however, has been a continual
round of looking out at this
world, day and night, for 26
years. In other words, Mr.. Mac
kinnon hasn't had a wink of
sleep in all that time.
So remarkable is his case that
specialists have been called in but
they can't do him any good.
Drugs don't even make him
drowsy. He's just about given
up hope for getting any complete
rest.
Some years ago, England was
trying to unravel a similar case
of sleeplessness. The individual
had always slept all right until
he received a serious injury to his
head. After that he completely
lost his ability to drop off to
slumber.

McCarron took walks alone in
lonely parts of the city, during
which he strongly suspected he
was being watched.
On the third day after dark a
man stepped out of the shadow
of a warehouse and fell into step
with him.
McCarron said: Hello, Henry.
Glad TO see you"
What about?"
Gosh, you're sure business
like. o. X. I heard you're doing
fine. I want 10 string along"
Then step in here with me-"
McCarron followed Reszka in
to the courtyard of an aban-
doned brewery.
McCarron did not need light,
however, to recognize what it
was that dug into his ribs as
Reszka said, You're a New York
dick and / know why you want
to string along with me. Talk
quick and good. baby, if you
want to leave here on your own

A detectives business, as l
have often mentioned, is TO think
as thinks the criminal he is pur-
suing. Usually he has more than
one guess. When he thinks
wrong it means only that he has
lost time and work which neces-

AT our suggestion, he was given

and until midnight he pondered,
but his memory Matched out
nothing. Then he gave up and
went To bed. 1t was hopeless.

In the course of the night, the
young stock clerk had a dream,
which was a nightmare for five
men, though they did not know 1T.
The dreamer woke up with a
shout:
II know where it was"
Next morning he told us that
he had seen the man playing PIN
ball in a poolroom.
II proved to be a fruitful clue.
Before going near the poolroom
we dug into the past of its pro-
prietor and brought 70 light a
few things which, with under
standable modesty, he did not
want the local police TO know,
although it had nothing to do
with the Kroehler case.
Armed with this irrelevant in
formation we were able to pur-
suade the gentleman to tell us

about his pinball customer.
AS a result of it Joseph Taor-
nina, Harry Ravel, Harold Wal
tiers and John Rosso, Binghamton
toughs, were rounded up by the
police and amply identified by
Kroehler Company employees as
the gang that made off with the
payroll.
Only the leader was missing.
But we who were hunting him
found out his name and connec-
tions from the others.
He was Hendryk Reszka, son
Of respectable householder.
Hendryk had been arrested sew
eral times for having a lethal
weapon on his person and once
for assault. But he was so slip
perry that each time he escaped
being sent to prison.
We had to have this man be-
cause he was the able drill SER
geant who had trained four mere
"punks" into a squad of first
class stickup men and could do
it again.
For months we tracked him
and many times closed in only

Wearied of snatching at this
human grasshopper we looked

method.

Then we found out that New
York City Detective Daniel Nc
Carron had known Reszka from
childhood. McCarron was as
signed to find his former play
mate.
THE detective renewed school

In other cases, to guess wrong
means death and this was one of
those times.
McCarron said:

know? But what does a cops

of Otto Blenk. who was in a
holdup with Moe Auswacks?
Well, him and me were partners

I'm counting on you to do better

It is also a criminals business
to think like a detective but he
had thought wrong.
In theory a detective like
-Blenk, who turn crook, should be
able to commit perfect crimes
with ease. He understands the
game and is in the strategic
position of being above suspicion,
able to ask his brother detectives
how they are getting along on
what is really his case, and may
even be assigned to hunting him.

twenty years, ResZlxa getting the
maximum.
He proved such an exemplary
prisoner that he was finally

another exemplary prisoner, Moe

They were put in charge of

One day some of the other con-

banquetted on it.
Auswaks and Reszka would
have to account for the stolen

being asked by students and an
swered by Government and private

country really need educated men
now or should we all plan to 60
either into the Army or into produc-
ton jobs?" The prepared answer is !:
Evening star., 1943-02-11

"The problem is how many can be
kept in schools and colleges to pro-
vide the trained. educated and per-
sonnel needed for both the armed
services and the war industdies,
while we also meet the immediate
requirements Of the armed forces
and Of industries. So far as they are
free to do so, it is wiser for men to
continue their education. but to di-
rect their studies toward greater war
usefulness"
Halts Definite Plans,
Government and private educa-
tors have been asked to what ex-
tent can 18 or l9 year-old now
plan his own future. Neither 18 or
19 year-olds nor men OF any other
age can plan their future now inde-
pendent of the service required by
the war" the educators replied.
Very few people are planning their
future definitely at the present
time. Winning the war requires
that a certain proportion OF l8 and
19 year-old men continue their
studies"
Replying to question as to what
are the plans for training and using
college women, the educators said ::
