Other Suspects Help
Detective Arrest Two
For Robberies Here

Two 15-year-old boys, who, police
say, are involved in 40 housebreak-
ings here in the past three weeks,
tive who had to chase one of them
10 blocks and win a fist fight to
complete the arrests.
Two. older boys. who were. In the
'policeman's. custody under suspision
for the robberies charged to the
other two, helped clear themselves
with police by assisting the officer
with the arrests. oISAisst.. ~ sf1.- !
One Of the two under arrest Is an
escapee from an industrial home in
Baltimore. He and his companion
have been charged with 26 cases of
Ehousebreaking each and today will
be charged with IA more house.
breaking offenses, police said.
Detective John A. Stewart Of the
18th precinct was driving to the sta
ton house with two other boys, Is
and 10. who fitted the descriptions
Of the housebreakers. AS he passed
Bladensburg road and Charming
street NE, Detective Stewart
spotted the two 15-year-olds.
"You wait her and don't leave.
I've got to pick up some one else, !"
Detective Stewart said. He had no.
ticed that the second pair also fitted
the description of the housebreak-
ers. AS Detective Stewart started
toward the second two, they began
to run.
He caught one youth quickly and
hauled him back to the squad car
Hold this boy for 10 minutes" he
said. "I've got to catch that other
one" The first pair of suspects
complied.
After a 10-block chase, Detective
Stewart said he caught the second
fugitive. The youth promptly
slugged the policeman. but Stewart
subdued the suspect-described as
large for his age-after a brisk
struggle. He walked the prisoner
back to the cruiser, he said, and
found that the older pair still were
holding the other 15-year-old.
One Of the 15-year had q
loaded pistol, police said.
The older boys continued to keep
an eye on the other pair while
Stewart drove to the precinct house
There, Capt. Walter Storm said, the
l5-year-olds confessed, quickly elm
mating the older boys, who were
released by police with thanks and
apologies.
One of the prisoners charged
lives in the 800 block Of Sixth street
NE. and the other in the $500 block
of Twenty-second street NE. De-
tective Stewart said they had no
supervision from their parents. Po-
lice said they revealed the location
Of more than $4,000 in loot which
was then recovered. They will be
turned over to juvenile authorities
today.
The youths operated in a highly
professional manner, police said.
Their method was to knock at likely
looking doors to see If any one was
home. If the knock was answered,
they would ask for q fictitious per-
son and leave. If no answer came,
they would break their way in.
Frequently, police said, the youths
would call a taxicab on their victims
telephone and ride away with loot in
style. The loot, police declared, was
disposed Of generally by street sales
to any person who would buy.

Newsmen Get Lost Laugh
On Girl Who GiqqIed
BY tho Assoeiaied Press

OLYMPIA; Wash. - Immediately
after the Governors press confer
ence In the State Capitol, reporters
rushed into the nearest elevator to
reach their Offices on fourth floor.
The elevator stalled, confining the
reporters just above the fourth floor.
Ten minutes passed before their
cries attracted the attention of the
lieutenant governors secretary. She
giggled at their predicament but
summoned help.
The newsmen laughed last. Less
than an hour later the elevator
stalled again-this time with the
lieutenant governors secretary in-
side.

WAF|ights Resumed; /;
Air|ines Map Plans
For Personnel Cuts

Service was being resumed today
by Trans World Airline on 16 strike
bound routes as plans for personnel
cuts were revealed by Pennsylvania
Central Airlines and the Atlantic
Division of Pan American World
Airways in addition to those already
announced by TWA.
While the first TWA planes were
getting back in service after the
pilots strike grounded them more
than three weeks ago, officials of the
airline today were unable. to esti-
mate how many Of some 750 service
employees in Washington will lose
their jobs because Of financial losses
as a result of the strike.
At the same time Pea, which has
headquarters in Washington, re-
vealed plans for laying on 10 to IS
per cent of its 5000 employees in all
categories at Washington and cities
along its routes reaching to Birm-
ingham, Ala; Chicago and New
York.
Retrenchment Big Factor.
In some airline circles it was said
the strike on TWA was a setback to
cir travel plans. which expanded
with great rapidity after the war,
aided by conversion of military
transports and disruption Of surface
shipping schedules. While various
official reasons were assigned for
the cutbacks, it was believed they
were due largely to retrenchment In
view of probably pilot salary in
creases In line with those Of TWA
pilots now in arbitration.
j. HysCarmtcfaelge executive vice
president Of Pea, said the reduction
would affect all types Of jobs, tn
cluding those of pilots, with the
heaviest cut of abodt 30. per cent of
the total in the reservations de-
partment.
The start Of the bad weather sea-
son was the biggest factor In the
reduction, it was explained. al
though general economy program
is in progress. A company spokes-
man said PEA now is carrying 90
per cent more passengers than q
year ago, but that expansion had
sent costs up sharply. No imme-
diate reductions. in schedules are
in prospect.
In New York Pan-Am sent out
dismissal notices to 20 per cent Of
some 5000 employees in its Atlantic
division, effective January 80. This
was an economy move attributed in
part to a streamlining Of opera
tional methods.
Ocean Liners Relieve Pressure.
Meanwhile, the return to trans
Atlantic service of refurbished liners
like the Queen Elizabeth, which
sailed from New York with 2,258
passengers Thursday, and the Amer
lea were helping to relieve the
pressure on airline facilities taxed
to capacity since the end of the war.
First flights of grounded TWA
planes were announced today at
National Airport, New York and
Detroit following yesterdays settle
ment of the 26-day. strike which
paralyzed all operations. The initial
flight from Washington was booked
to capacity, it was said, although
the public had only short time to
make reservations.
In all, 16 TWA schedules were
getting under way today, with 13
more to be added tomorrow and
others to be put in operation as
rapidly as equipment becomes
available.
TWA President Jack Frye an
nounced he hoped to have normal
operations resumed in 10 days or
two weeks.
The airline is accepting reserva-
tions for all flights as soon as they
can be re-established.

morning on the way to school, she'd
noticed the first morbid blotch on
her wrist staring up at her, as pro-
phetic and as hopeless as the eyes of
a deaths head. 1t was only that she
didn't know how long it would take.
1t was the waiting, and the tight

The little girl focused her eyes on

see that it was still blank 1t was
family shocking to her that she had
done no work, even under the cicum-
stances. If the thing wasn't going to
happen to her right away, how would
she explain the blank page to Miss
Cooley? She knew for certain that
she couldn't do eight short division
problems in five minutes. 1t would
have been hard enough to do them
in twenty.
lHE idea formed in the little girls
mind without effort, and it didn't
shock her in the least. She got the
idea from Edna Granger's hair. She
didn't especially like Edna, but Edna
was good at arithmetic, and she sat
just one desk forward, so that her
hair touched the little girls desk
when she leaned back. Edna was
leaning back now, because she'd
finished the problems on the board;
by leaning back and stretching her
arms daintily she was making it plain
to everyone that she'd finished early

Nurse Day. 1t would be impossible
to deceive Miss Hazleton's profess

 Experiments with the chow which the Army trenchmen claim they prefer will be carried on in the future by the Quartermaster Corps in an effort to give soldiers just the sort of food they want.
 The troops turned thumbs down on such items an beef and pork loaf, bouillion powder and lemon powder, all of which were includ- ed in the "K" ration, a single days supply of food for troops engaged in assault operations.
 Asked to list items which should be placed in an emergency ration to be used when no other food IS available, the men boiled, voted for meat, crackers and biscuit, coffee pork and beans, chocolate and chocolate bars and cigarettes. Only seven per cent felt that ham and eggs should be included in such a diet.
 All of the men questioned serv- ed overseas with front line com bat units, 70 percent having be- longed to Infantry rifle companies and the remainder to other com bat units. Sixty per cent of the troops learned about cc bat ra- tionS in the European tneater of operations, l9 per cent in the Mediterranean theater and the remainder in the Pacific, China Burma-India and other theaters of operations.
