because q person can always jump
out of a high window or use some

whether a thwarted suicidal will

Arrest Based on Police
Broadcast Of $50 Theft
Contested by Defense

Is information broadcast by the |
police radio dispatcher in a GRIM |
inal case sufficiently reliable TO
Justify an arrest?
Judge Ellen X. Raedy has this
question before her today. after
lengthy arguments In q petty lar
ceny case brought In Municipal
Court yesterday.
Attorney Curtis Mitchell raised
it in a motion to ouash the arrest
Of his client, James A. Marshall.
81, colored, of the 200 block OF
New York avenue NV. He Isl
under $500 bond.
At the hearing, 1t was brought
out that last Thursday q colored
man entered Dawes Menswear
Shop. 7o5 Twelfth street NV,
snatched an armful of sportshirts
from q counter and ran out q
back door.
Mrs. Bessie Shapiro, wife of the
owner, Immediately notified police.
Pvt. Albert Mode, who investi-
gated. reported by scout car radio
to the police dispatcher that a
young colored man" had stolen
800 worth" of shirts from the
store. The dispatcher in turn
broadcast q lookout specifying the
$50 value of the loot.
Trails Marshall in Cab.
1t. Otto Fuss, cruising the vicin-
ity in his scout car, heard the
lookout and almost simultaneously
saw Marshall, carrying q card
board box. enter q taxicab five
blocks from the store. 1t. Fuss
trailed the cab to Fourth and
Ridge streets NV, where. he said,
he saw Marshall Jump out Of the
cab and enter q house, leaving the
box in the cab.
The lieutenant said that. while
Marshall was in the house, he
looked in the box inside the cab
and saw sports shirts. He ar
rested Marshall when the de-
fendant came back to the cab.
Attorney Mitchell attacked this
arrest on grounds that when Pvt.
Mode made his original report to
the dispatcher. he did not know
what the stolen shirts were worth.
The lawyer emphasized Mrs.
Shapiro's testimony that she did
not evaluate the shirts for Pvt.
Modes report. He also pointed
out that the loot involved in the
charge against his client was val
.ued only at $50.
Contends Warrant Needed.
1.-THE police failed to have re-
liable cause to believe that
felony had been committed" Mr..
Mitchell declared. Since the
amount involved was less than
the $50 line set by law to separate
the felony of grand larceny from
the misdemeanor of petty larceny,
police had no right to make an
arrest without a warrant. he
charged.
1.-THE radio dispatcher was
broadcasting unreliable informa-
tion," the attorney said. This
sets a bad precedent where police
can represent a large number OF
crimes as felonies in their radio
lookouts In order to facilitate
arrests"
Assistant United States Attorney
Robert Scott countered by citing
police testimony and replaying q
dictaphone recording Of the actual
theft report and lookout broad
cast over police radio at the time.
Under Mr.. Scott's questioning,
Pvt. Mode testified that Mrs.
Shapiro informed him that shirts
valued at about $64 were stolen
and that he gave that information
to the dispatcher. The prosecutor
argued that Mrs. Shapiro failed
to recall this on the witness stand
because she was nervous and ex-
cited" in court.
Judge Raedy said she will an
nounce her decision on April Is.

IS Million Calls

automatic time information SER
vice in Stockholm, registered a re-
cord number of 100000 calls
during 1948, while her sister Miss
Weather answered 100000 in
quiries.
These figures are presented in
an end-of-the-year report from the
Swedish Telegraph Board, which
also reports that the total number
of telephones in Sweden is now
over 100000. AS the total popu-
lation of the country is now be-
tween 6 and 7 millions, nearly ev-
cry fourth Swede has a telephone.

The harvest of oliferous plants
in 1948 is the greatest in Swedish

output of $4,000 tons of margarine.

help from their managers in Mos
COW were definitely dashed by the
recent trade agreement which the
Fagerholm government signed
with the Soviets.
Similar to those which the other
Scandinavian countries have sign
ed or are currently discussing with
the Russians, this agreement pro-
vides necessary Russian raw ma
terials and a steady outlet for
Finnish manufactured products,
thus counteracting the unemploy-
ment which was increasing in sew
eral branches toward the end of
1913 due to a falling off of or
derS from hard currency coun-
tries.
Stable Economy Sought
In a New Year interview, Prime
Minister Fagerholm summed up
the years accomplishments: An
important beginning was made in
stabilizing the Finnish economy,
foreign currency reserve were
doubled, building was given the
green light, taxes We're lowered
in some cases as much as SO per
cent-and, as a welcome Christ
mas present, western buyers of
wood and cellulose suddenly turn
ed up, check books in hand.
The tasks which Finland faces
in 1949, according to Mr.. Eager
holm, are to bring down produc-
ton costs, combat unemployment,
and increase production for home
consumption.
His New Years wish that the
Communists would stop trying to
upset the national equilibrium in
their campaign against the gov
eminent, he admits is probably
too much to hope fer but there
are few Scandinavians who doubt
that it will be Mr.. Fagerholn1
himself who decides when his gov
eminent has fulfilled the mission
placed in its hands last July by
the vote of a free, democratic peo-
Pile
sweden: The past year brought
the Swedes good many unpleas-
ant surprises.
AS one of the few European
countries physically and economic
cally intact at the end of the war.
Sweden gave freely both goods and
services to all its neighbors and
to many countries on the co1lti-
nent as well, to such an extent
that by 194S, the bottom of it's
dollar reserves was nearly reach
ed.
According to the original gov
eminent plans, this should have
been counteracted by profitable
business with the United States
and ether solid" currency coun-
tries. However, world trade did
not stage its expected comeback
and the miscalculations which
We're gradually exposed to a busi-
nesslike public brought on storm
of criticism which nearly succeed
ed, in the September elections, in
relieving the Social Democrats of
any further handling OF Swedish
affairs.
To the Swedes, who for some

invested in rearmament, the Nor
Wegians have still not reached the
goal they have set themselves
never again to be in the position
in which the Germans found them
in 1910. The voluntary members
of the home guard-which now
numbers $4,000 = and who are in
action day and night alongside the
regular troops, bear witness to
the Norwegians' attitude on this
point.
This may be responsible for the
more hopeful anticipation wi h
which the Norwegians stand on the
brink of 1949 in contrast to a
year ago. But most Norwegians
agree that the year which brought
the Marshall program into action,
working plans for a western Euro
pean defense bloc with promises of
American participation, and Tito's
break for freedom, also have had
a lot to do with it.
Iceland: AS 1949 gets under way,
way, the Icelanders find their
country once more a center of
world interest in the northern
European picture.
Lacking armed forces or forti-
fications, they do not know how
any stand they may take will in
fluence the course of events in
case of another war. They know,
their island a vital base for either
side and they are doing their best
to retain their freedom of choice.
Prime Minister Stephan Ste
phanson can look back upon
stormy but quite satisfactory year
in the 1000 year-old Althing par
liament, as well as on the crush
ing defeat which the Communists
recently suffered in losing their
control of the Icelandic trade
union organization, where they
had held leading posts since the
end of the war.
After his meeting last Septem-
Der with his Scandinavian col
leagues in Stockholm, Foreign
Minister Bjarni Benediktsson has
also been able to keep his gov
eminent informed of each devel-
opment in Scandinavian cooper
alton.
For 1949, the IcelanderS have
two heartfelt wishes. The first is
for world peace. The second, on
which their existence also de-
ponds, is for a better herring
catch than in 194s. But they will
certainly settle for the first wish
if they can have only one.
Finland: More than in any of
the other Nordic countries, 194S
produced several events in Fin
land which could be likened to
match in which the Fin
nish Social Democrats under Prime
Minister X. A. Fagerholm took
every round.
When the gong went at the
turn of the year, the local Com
munists had retired YEARLY to
their corner with plans to rally
the Agrarians and some members
of the Swedish Party as seconds,
but the hopes they had of getting
