Bankruptcy Referee
Surprised at Size Of
Possible u. 5. Annuity

A New Yorker identified as the
former Federal referee in bank
ruptcy who stands to collect more
than S15O.000 in annuities for the
$7.43 contribution he made to the
civil service retirement fund says
he is entitled to any annuity given
him.
Oscar w. Ehrhorn. whose case
was first disclosed Monday in The
Stars Federal Spotlight column,
said, however, that he had not
known he would be eligible for
annuity benefits of $17,50O a year.
Its all news to me- the New
Yorker told The Star by telephone.
Like the fellow once said, all l
know is what I read in the news
papers,"
Mr.. Ehrhorn stressed his %
years of service as a Federal
referee, during which time. he de-
clared, he handled some of the
most important bankruptcy cases
in the Governments history.
He acknowledged that he worked

for a month in 1948 in the Office of
Representative Macy, Republican,
of New York. Civil Service Com
mission retirement officials said
that month of service, during
which Mr.. Ehrhorn contributed
his STAB in retirement payments,
made him eligible for an annuity
of $17,5OO a year.
This is based on the large earn
ings of Mr.. Hhrhorn as bank
ruptcy referee, including 100000
from January l to June 80, 1947.
The commission is asking Con-
gress to enact legislation that will
curtail Mr.. Ehrhorn's pending
claim to more modest annuity of
$3.50 a year.

he has filed claim for retirement
benefits, although he reiterated
that he did not know what amount
he would receive.

YESTERDAY, we told you
about Julian Freeman's drug
store in the fairway near the
back entrance to Center Mar
ket City.
Today, let us tell you about
the interesting stand across
from the drug store. This
stand is called District Sales
Service For The Blind, and 1t
is owned and operated by
A. w. Truitt.
You probably know the ex-
cellent brOoms and mOpS made
by the blind in many of our
State schools and rehabilita-
tion centers. Well, you can find
them al this stand. Maryland
sends some of the best of these
products.
Rugs, aprons, mops, leather
goods, crochet and needlework
are among the many things
for sale at this stand.
Mr.. Truitt says that his big
gest seller is the door mats
made by the blind. He has a
good supply of these on hand
excellent ideas for summer
rainy days, and better still for
winters snowy weather.
The owner used to be active
in the affairs of The Washing
ton Society for the Blind, but
he resigned to open the stand.
Proceeds from the sale of the
products 90 back into teaching
handicrafts and occupations

Wild Boy Flees From Mother
Who Hid Him Il Secret Sin

BOSTON, March IA Rag
ged and round-eyed, a 14-year
old wild boy" saw today a
sunlit world from which po-
lice said his mother locked
him away for 10 years to hide
her secret sin"
Skinny Gerald Sullivan, his
matted hair below his should
ers, was dressed in the tatters
Of two girls dresses when POI
lice found him playing in the
street. He was barefooted.
Everything filled him with
wonder. He was, police said,
like a wild animal" He saw
for the first time an orange,
an apple, a cat.
Out of the child's escape
came a fantastic tale of a As
year-old woman's long and
careful guarding of her secret
from the world and her three
other children. The mother
was quoted as saying: az
hoped to keep it a secret so it
wouldn't bring disgrace to the
Others"
Police Capt. Francis w. Rus
sell said Mrs. Anne F. Sullivan
told him the boy was illegiti-
mate. She pleaded guilty to
neglect of the child and was
held in $4,000 for hearing Wed
nesday.
The captain told his story:
From the time of Gerald's
birth and until he was 4 he
was boarded out with a fam
lily. His father paid for his
support. Mrs. Sullivan's huS-
band left her because of the
child some years after his
birth.
Then the father died and
the support ended.

. INADEQUATE FIRE-FIGHTING SYSTEM
VIE H FIRE at the southwest corner Of Queen
-oSs and Company Streets in Chistiansted, alarmed the
~ lest month, all who witnessed it Immediately realized
.~nadequacy of our fire control system. The men work
and did everything they could, but fire is ordinarily
{ ,>ishcd with water, and not having, any, much damage
was done. Plainly, the towns do not have enough fire hy-
drants. There are ID hydrants in Christiansted, and 8 in Fred
ted. And what makes these less effective is that they are
SO widely distributed that certain properties are simply not
within reach, and would be lost if the fire is not quickly at
tackled.
WHILE THESE hydrants were being installed was the
time to see that the requisite number was put in. These are
matters which must follow close planning, with a view to long
time service, and greatest efficiency. Each town should have
at least 10 more. There are those who would say that fires do
not occur with sufficient frequency to warrant the outlay, but
fire is a terrible master, and once out of control wreaks havoc.
And what is worse, it gives no warning Of when it will strike.
NO DISCUSSION Of the situation surrounding fire pre-
vention could be had without noting that the fre-fighting
squad is also inadequate. Because of our financial condition
we cannota afford to maintain a fire department, with its equip
ment and trained personnel, which, by the way, is done every
where for the safety of communities. In the absence of such
a possibility, the next best thing might be to organize volm-
teer squads, train them in the best methods, and have them

I'd let him runaround the

"But we never knew who
the boy was. We never dared
to ask"
The prison from which Ger
aid escaped was a darkened
room about eight feet square.
There was only a cot in it. The
curtain on its single window
was lowered and held in place
almost to the bottom.
! All the imprisoned boy
could see by kneeling and look
ing out was the sky.
Russell said:
He seemed amazed by the
outside world. We showed
him an orange and an apple
and he said he'd never seen
them before. He looked at a
cat and asked what it was"
The captain said the mother
must have left the door of the
prison room unlocked after
leaving food. That's how Ger
aid escaped. He was found
playing with other children
by a -polieeman~startled by the
weird rags.

great fear over being returned

that you can easily make.
House slides made from rem
nants of corduroy and bound with
heavy satin would be a welcome
addition under anyone's Christ
mas tree. Corduroy is a popular
fabric this year and most every
ones scrap bag will have colorful
pieces large enough for the slides.
If you 90 not have corduroy,
they can be made from terry
cloth, chenille, printed cotton ma
terials; in fact, any wash fabric.
The slides will be more durable
denim or duck.
if YOU line them with osnaburg,
You can use an old pair of sum-
mel slides for a pattern.
