CLUE 1: In November, 1887, a man
was alleged to have deposited
forged checks totalling over $1,000
in an account opened under a ficti.
tious name. Bank tellers and Off
Gals identified the man pictured
above as the guilty person, and
despite his plea OF innocence. he
was sentenced to 10 years in Sing
Sing prison.
CLUE 2: Early In 1915 another man
was apprehended in Kentucky as a
drug addict and forger, and brought
to New York to face trial. A detec-
tive concerned with the first con-
viction noticed the similarities in
the appearance OF the two men, and
began to investigate.
CLUE 8: This investigation resulted
in revelations that the first man
had been wrongly convicted and
had served more than three years
for a crime he did not commit.
Governor Thomas E. Dewey, or

tive pardon. and attempts were in
stituted for reparation to this man

Buck Rogers Television Bomb
Ready For Combat At Wars End

SANTA MONICA. Cal. WH)-One
Of the strangest Buck Rogers in
ventions of World War II was re-
vealed here when Douglas Aircraft
took the wraps off the Roc" a
robot bomb directed by television
which sought out its target through
an electronic eye.
First projected in 1941, the Roc"
was fully tested and ready for
combat when the atomic bomb put
halt to the Pacific war. And
the pilots vino tested It say it
would have found any target, blown
it to bits and sent back a movie
OF how it was done.
In its final stages, the Roc"
resembled a long cigar with a
ring-type shroud about the tail.
Carrying 1000 pounds of high ex-
ploSive, and nicknamed the Double
Cookie Cutter" it could be directed
against lights or any other tar
get from miles away.
Two Alternate Brains"
The tail Shroud was actuated by
electrioity-driv jack screws and
could be rocked to make the Roc"
lift in any direction. The fixed tail
was also a circular shroud.
BY the time development had
reached the production stage in
l945, the Roc" had two alter
nate brains a radio control
operated by the bombardier of the
parent plane. Using a trick bomb
sight telescope the bombardier OBJ
served flare on the tail of the
bomb, sailed it in to the target with
remote radio control and a double
gyro system.
The secondhand most remark
able-"brain" Of the Roc" was a
complete television link between
missile and bombardier, allowing
him to see where the bomb was
going and watch its explosion when
1t got there.

Traces Lack of
Housing to '27

LEWISTON, Ida. U.P)-The hous-
ing shortage can be traced back to
1927 and it will require 10 years to
meet the present demand for dwell
ings. according to c. l. Billings,
general manager Of the Potlatch
Forests, Inc.
Billings traces this major social
problem back to the depression. AT
that time, due to families doubling
up, which they were not willing to
do in better times, there was q
surplus Of houses which continued
up to the advent Of the war. This
surplus Of houses discouraged
much new building in the late 3Os
except in areas which were grow
ing rapidly in population.
When the war came, home build
ing was discouraged save where it
was needed in war production CEN
tiers, and in the late war years
home building elsewhere was vir-
tually prohibited. With improved
conditions, families which have
lived together have separated and
gradually housing vacancies have
declined to q low point. AS houses
became scarce, prices rose and the
owners, remembering the lean
years. looked for buyers instead of
tenants. The renter either became
the owner or was forced to move.
During the next 10 years $780,
600 dwellings will have to be built
to meet arrears and increased pop
ulation," says Billings. Population
has outStripped new building. Since
1910 population has increased by
100000. Families have decreased
In size, calling for relatively more
home units. Sub-standard housing
that urgently calls for replace
ment just about equals the number
Of new dwellings that viii be re-
