In his comments last nigrt, Gen.
Gregory asked the American people
to give WAA and Gen. Littlejohn
the understanding and support
needed on this unprecedented as
signment and all the cooperation
and assistance necessary to bring

A more detailed report will be

From January to the end of June
surplus property sales increased
from 1903 100000, on the basis OF
original cost, to approximately
$829, 100000 he said.
More Sales Reduce Cost.
Gen. Gregory predicted that war
surpluses soon will ''be diminishing
into established trade channels at
the rate of one billion dollars more
each month" This, he declared
will reduce governmental costs, help
fight imitation and aid in restoring
normal business conditions. Unfair

About Your Heorina

Recently in Chicago there has
been perfected a method that is
now welcomed by thousands who
are deafened. This new device
does not require separate battery
pack, battery case, wire, or gar
ment. Constructed so that it can
be concealed, besides being so
light in weight you will hardly
know you are wearing it. The
tone is clear and noiseless. Many
say they can now hear a pin drop.
One Of the outstanding features
Is that you can adjust it yourself
to suit your hearing. The makers
OF Beltone, Dept. R-103, 1850 w.
10Th Street, Chicago 8, ILL.,, are so
proud OF their achievement that
they will gladly send free de-
scriptive booklet and explain how
you may get a full demonstration
OF this remarkable hearing de-
vice in your own home without
riSking a penny. Write Beltone
today.

Bandits GET $4,000
In Apartment HoIdup
By the Associofed orssx


NEW YORK, July 20.-A woman
who formerly wrote radio mystery
thriller scripts was the central
figure today in a holdup as fam
tastic as fiction.
She was bound and gagged in
her apartment by three young rob-
bers who escaped with strong
box containing $1,000 in jewelry and
who permitted the woman's 2-year-
old daughter to wander around the
apartment unharmed during the
proceeding.
The woman, Eleanor Wunder-
ling, was in her East 54th street
apartment with her husband, Law
renee, when the men entered Each
carried a pistol and the leader,
who carried box of flowers, Or
dered the Wunderlings into the
bathroom. Both were bound and
gagged, the robbers using cord from
Venetian blind. They promised
not to harm the child If the parents
made no outcry.
When they demanded the couple s
jewelry, Wandering told them it
was in the strong box and he did
not have the key. The robbers OBJ
tained the 60-pound metal box from
the closet, the leader picked up
his box Of flowers and the three left
the building.
Wandering managed to loosen
his bonds, free his wife and notify
police of the East 51st street sta
tion.
