No Clues Yet To Sl,5OO,OOO Stolen In Boston

BOSTON, (P)-Another clue in Tuesdays S1 ,5OO,OOO express com pany robbery evaporated today.
 New Jersey police discounted the story of informant Thomas J. Hannifan, 28.
 The man, who originally gave his name as Jackie Horrigan, said he drove the holdup car and asked for arrest by the Boston police. He was revealed by Newark questioners to be a former state hospital patient and mental hos pital orderly.
 Hannifan had been drinking and apparently hadn't been in Boston in months, a Newark po- lice spokesman said. He had been questioned on his statement that funds seized in the robbery had been cached near the holdup scene.
 From the outset, Boston police captain John D. Ahearn had ac- cepted the story with skepticism
 Nevertheless, overlooking n O possibilities, he directed a raid on an empty house in the north end area near the scene of the crime

 What does the family eat most ly? Just beans, Joe reported.

H-BOmb Discussed In Washington

WASHINGTON, (P)-PreSident Truman today left wide open the possibility that he will order pro- duction of a hydrogen superbOmb-
 With the United States repor- ted to be going ahead full blast on preliminary work leading up to production, MT Truman was asked at his news conference:
 "Do you have under cOnsiGera- ton production of a hydrogen bomb?"
 The president replied that he. could not comment on that
 MT. Truman also told inquirers that he is not considering direct negotiations with the Russi ms on the hydrogen bomb.
 The phrase direct negoua- tions" was the one used by the questioner.
 In giving a negative reply, MT. Truman did not rule ou: the pos sibiIity of some less imI1edi1se approach to the Russians
 For example, negotiations with in the United Nations were not flatly ruled out.
 The chief executive was asked has David Lilienthal offered to go to Russia?' Mir. Truman said flatiy that he has not.
 Lilicnthal is the reur.ng chair man of the atomic energy commits sion. There have been reports, so far without substantidtion from Lilienthal or the president that the AEC chairman is opposed to development of an H-bomb unless the United States first makes a new effort to work out an inter national atomic energy agreement with the Russians.
 In addition there have been re- ports that Lilienthal offered to go to Moscow for the president on such a mission. This MT. Truman flatly denied.
 Lilienthal is scheduled to leave his AEC job Feb. IS. The presi- dent said today that when he de cides on a successor he will an- nounce it.

Heated Debate
Attends
Bluff Meet

PINE BLUFF, Ark. (ANP)-
Heated debate and ~catcalls from
some. ofthe 200 members present
greeted the start of plans for the
reorganization of the Pine Bluff
NAACP chapter here last week.
About all that was accomplished
was the appointment of a staff Of
temporary officers by Donald
Jones, regional NAACP secretary
from Dallas, Tex.
Immediately after the naming
of the officers, w. Harold Flow
ers, ousted branch president, de-
manded the floor and delivered an
impassioned appeal for the men,
bers to support him in his belief
that the national organization
should have control of the local
groups activities.
He attacked the "white press
and specifically the white dailies
the Arkansas Gazette and Demo-
craat, for their part in helping
"the national organization (to
create) all this confusion for the
benefit Of the white people,"
He asked for the privilege OF
joining the members to help his
race and urged that harmony
should exist in the NAACP "tt
show that Pine Bluff Negroes are
in accord"
After his speech, he walked ul
| to the speakers stand and pait

| light of an earlier statement by
| Flowers that he would organize {
| separate group was not ex

virginia Health IounclI, Roanoke,
Va, for AMP -.
Old-timers often tell us that
they trudged miles to school or to
the stores as children. With all
kinds Of transportation at our dis
posal today, we are impressed by
such rugged energy. But since few
of us these days "walk when we
can ride" I wonder if we haven't
gone to the other extreme.
The thought came to me'a few
months ago when Mrs. Sheldon
brought 10-year-old Herbie to my
office. The child was listless, she
said, his appetite had fallen off,
and she felt that he was not sleep
ing restfully at night.
When I xamine d Herbie
thoroughly, 1 was glad to tell his
mother there was nothing serious
lywrong, although the child was
slightly underweight for his age
and general build. I noticed, too,
that he wasn't as poppy and alert
as might be expected of a 1O-year
old boy.
But as we talked about what
Herbie did during the day, the
trouble became obvious. Herbie
rode to school in the bus, sat six
hours in the classroom, ate his
lunch indoors, then rode home
from school onthe bus again. Most
days after school he'd go down to
the cellar and work with his car
penter tools. After dinner, he did
his school homework, listened to
the radio, then went to bed. He
sometimes played outdoors on
Saturdays and Sundays, but kept
to his indoor existence on the
five school days of the week.
I pointed out to Mrs. Sheldon
that Herbie, a growing boy, was
not getting enough fresh air and
exercise. To develop his muscles
and grow properly, a child needs
daily exercise, : = not just a few
hours on weekends. Exercise in the
fresh air, moreover, keeps his
body toned up and gives him a
feeling of wellbeing, which in
turn, makes him more alert in the
classroom.
The combination Of outdoor
exercise and fresh air is mainly
responsible for the healthy child's
vigorous appetite and the ease
with which he can fall into a rest
full sleep. During summer vacation
with it's pleasant weather, most
children spend the entire day play
ing inthe fresh air. But during
school months, some of them tend
to skip outdoor life completely.
Parents and teachers should en-
courage children to have at least
two or three hours physical activi-
ty out-of-doors daily. Daily out.
door play and exercise : except
of course, on bad days : are as
necessary to a child's proper
growth and development as are

Sheldon and she listened attentive
ly. Then she confessed that Her
bie's indoor life was probably her
fault. Herbie was an only child
and she had actually encouraged
him to stay in because she would
worry less when she knew exactly
where he was. She added she now
realized she had been selfish as
we'll as thoughtless.
I met the three Sheldons last
week and I would see at a glance
that Herbie was very much i'm
proved. Mrs. Sheldon said that
realizing how important outdoor
play was tothe child's health help
ed her get over her nervousness
concerning Herbie's whereabouts
afr school. Her husband added
that Herbie's appetite, sleeping
habits, and even the child's per-
sonality we're better a week or
two after he began to ego out"
