Police Blame Gangs
Now Broken Up for
Rise in Robberies

Washington police today attrib-
uted the sharp rise in robberies
here last spring to number OF
gangs who were creating minor
crime wave before police caught
up with them.
The increase in robberies-from
1928 for the first half of 1949 to
ABS for the comparable period this
year-was pointed out in the
FBI's Uniform Crime Reports
yesterday.
Inspector Robert v. Murray,
chief of detectives, said police are
proud of their record for clearing
up cases during the same period.
57I Robberies Computed.
Of 571 robberies of all types
committed during the first four
months of 1850, he said, 459 were
cleared up by police.
The robbery figure Is larger
than that given in the FB1 COM
pilation because the Robbery
Squad is responsible also for cases
of larceny by trick. film fam and
similar offenses not classified as
robberies by the FBI. To the FBI.
robbery means the use of force or
putting a person in fear that vio-
lence would be used.
Among the gangs broken up by
police during this period were the
''pimple face" gang. the false
nose" bandits and several less
flamboyant crowds. An airline
ticket Office, an insurance COM
pany, several markets and thea
ters were among the places raided
by the gangs.
Police work on these and other
cases prompted Police Supt. Rob-
ert j. Barrett to issue a COM
mendation to the entire force last
June 26 for the splendid work"
during the first five months. He
commended particularly members
of the Detective Bureau and the
precincts who co-operated N
many of the cases.
Auto Thefts Increase.
The FBI report also showed an
increase in the number of auto
thefts during the first half OF
1850. The FBI figures through
June was 691 auto thefts. COM
pared with 572 for 1949.
Inspector Murray, carrying the
compilation through July 81, re-
ported 831 auto thefts but added
that 821 of the stolen autos had
been recovered.

Puget Sound Gets AIeutian Weather And Training

OAK HARBOR, Wash, (P) - There's Aleutian-like weather at the Whidby Island naval air sta ton, but it doesn't chill the wives of the 500 officers and men sta- toned here.
 It burns 'em up.
 Because Rear Adm. John Perry has ordered advanced base" con- ditions on a 24-hour basis to train the squadrons on how to operate in Aleutian weather while such weather is nipping the base.
 All hands are restricted to the base. All social engagements are off. The Officers Club is closed. The men are inside. The wives are outside. The island has a "cold war" of its own.
 You can't train the squadrons in cold weather conditions on an eight-hour-day," an officia spokesman said, "when the wea- ther, like that in the Aleutians, is changing capriciously around the clock"
 Unofficially, the word is around and about that the cold clamp down came after Admiral Perry showed up for duty one morning last week and found snow on the wings of the squadron's planes.
 Of this, another source said it was true there was snow on the wings when the admiral "came aboard" at 8 a.m., but he added that the snow hadn't stopped un- til half-hour before.
 He denied there was anything disciplinary in the admiral's ac- ton.
 How long will it last? Maybe a day, maybe a week-depending on weather conditions"
 So it is with Whidby's la guerre froide.

Glider Crash Kills Thirteen In Georgia
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) was unknown-was the first fatal accident in the glider training school since teh death of one man in l946.
 The glider, one of two released by a C-82 tow plane, was settling on the runway normally when, witnesses reported, one wing dip ped sharply and struck the ground.
 First It. Melvin L. Minnix, pi- lot of the companion glider, said the crack up came at a 30 degree angle and scattered wreckage over the field like confetti after pa- rade."
 His gliding speed seemed nor mal," Minnix continued in describ- ing Henley's landing. His altitude looked perfect and his angle to glide appeared the same of mine.
 "He was still in his turn though" Minnix related, when ! noticed his glide angle had be- come fairly steep. He lost altitude fast and then hit the ground at about a 30 degree angle with his left wing down.
 Other witnesses reported the glider hit the runway, bounced into the air and began to disinte- grate. Debris and bodies were scattered over TOO feet of the run way.
 Capt. A. C. Parker of the infan- try training center public informa- ton office said Is of the men were taking glider training in conjunc- ton with their six weeks training as paratrooperS.
 The students all were members of Company A, Airborne Battal- ion.

Miners Refuse To Obey Lewis Back To Work Order

(Continued from Page One) Utah stayed away from work in an unexplained strike. Last week Lewis suggested they resume pro- duction today.
 Some of the 1l,00O western Pennsylvania diggers who came to work were warned rowing pickets would come around and pull them out again.
 In Washington, John D. Battle, executive vice-president of the National Coal Association, termed the miners action ga rebellion against Lewis"
 "It looks like the first revolt against Lewis" Battle told a re- porter. There's been no com plaint from the men to their em- ployers about their hours or wages or working conditions"
 The United States Steel Corpo- ration said all its captive mines in Pennsylvania, employing about 1l,000 men, are closed.
 The hard core of resistance to the United Mine Workers presi- dents suggestion appeared to be in Greene and Fayette counties in the southwestern corner of Penn sylvania. The great bulk of the states 100000 soft coal miners are working.
 In West Virginia, where 10000 soft coal miners are employed, pickets stopped operations at five mines which sought to reopen when sufficient miners answered the come-to-work whistles.
 Paul Terreta, president of the UNIV local at Isabella mine of Weirton Steel said of his $50 mem- bers: They are disgusted with the present situation and want a five-day week. They want the sit uatoin to come to a head. That's the only reason they voted to stay out"
 Lewis ordered the miners on a three-day week last July l when the UMW's contract with the coal industry expired.

WEATHER SUMMARY FOR DECEMBER

The weather at Nome during the early part of December was marked by the small amount of precipitation and relatively mild temperatures. The last part of De- cember gave us both precipitation and colder temperatures. Three well-developed storms influenced the weather during the month, but only one of these caused heavy precipitation. This storm on Dec. 31 gave Nome its highest wind reading for the fastest mile" since Jan. of l949. This wind was 72 miles per hour from the East. The 4.8 inch snowfall which occurred on Dec. 3l was almost a third of the precipitation for the whole month, and brought the monthly total up to plus depar- ture from normal of l.l0 inches. Temperatures for the month aver aged slightly below normal. Clou- dy skies were prevalent; the per- centage of possible sunshine was only IA.

The arrival of the new kids
wasn't extraordinary-but the
parentage of the kids was enough
to confuse even those fellows
who chase down your family
tree.
Gsteigeri, a female goat man,
ed after a Swiss village near
Prof. Marti's native home, gave
birth to tripletts. A few minutes
later, Gstaaderi, named after an
other Swiss village, mothered
twins. Two other mothers, un-
named, bore one kid each.
The father of the triplets, An
don by name, was also the sire
of the twins.
That wasn't confusing to the
Martis, who keep pretty close
track of their goats. But the rest
of the story was.
1t seems that Gsteiregi,. the
triplet's mother, was also the
mother of Gstaaderi, the moth
er of the twins. And Gstaaderi
happened to be the mother of
Andon, who, remember, father
ed both the tripletS and the
twins.
Now, says Prof. MART, who
brought nine goats with him
when he came to Marietta in
1946, that would make Andon,
the grandson of Gsteigeri, the
grandfather of Gstaaderi's kids.
Instead, he's their father. 1t
would also make him the hus-
band of his grandmother and the
father of his mother, if you're
still with us.
Gsteigeri's kids, theoretically
brothers and sisters of Gstaad-
eri, are instead her cousins, or
maybe her aunts and uncles. On
the same basis, Gsteigeri and
GStaaderi should be sisters, but
are not, since Gstaaderi is
Gsteigeri's daughter.
Andon, the old roue, also ends
up being his mothers husband,
his children's father and grand
father at the same time, his own
grandpa, and probably a little
mixed up when it comes to
counting his blessings.
