|Cobbie's Detective Work Leads
To Youths Hit-Run Arrest

Volunteer detective work by a
taxicab driver last night led to the
arrest of a 17-year- -old boy on hit
run charges an hour after a
Mount Rainier man was struck and
seriously injured.

to Prince Georges General Hospital
with internal and head injuries
and fractured leg. He was struck
by an automobile about 7 pm. as
he was walking across Rhode

suit of the Congressional go-ahead
since the start of the Korean war
last June 25-until this summer.

Board refuses to give figures on
how many new planes, tanks, guns,
ETC., have been delivered, because,
it says, it wants to keep such in
formation from possible enemies
and because breakdown of sta
tistics to indicate how much has
been bought is not presently
available"
Unofficial estimates, within the
industry, place the present month
ly military plane production rate
at about $50 aircraft, noticeable
but not spectacular increase from
last June. Assistant Air Force
Secretary Eugene Zuckert stated
that it takes one to one and one
half years ITO realize the effects"
of a budget as far as planes are
concerned.
There has been a fairly i'm
pressive array of orders for tanks
not matched at the moment by
an equally imposing array of fin
ished tanks. Provisions for pur-
chase of 1000 MAG medium tanks
have been made but the depart
ment does not expect substantial"
deliveries before early fall.
A few of the M-46s have got
into the Korean war but virtually
all of the weapons being used
there are World War II types. The
new 3.5-inch bazooka tank
killer" weapons and the recoilless
guns also are exceptions, but an

week reported shortages in the Far

Displaying Wedding Gifts
Dear Mrs, Post: Should the cards
De left with the wedding gifts
when displayed? If so, what about
the proper display of checks?
Seems thoughtless not to let people
know about those, too.
Answer: (a) When the presents
are many, the cards are generally
left on as this saves members of
the family from repeating many
times who sent this and who sent
that. tb) 1t is quite proper to dis
play wedding checks with amounts
concealed. This is done by laying
them on fiat surface one above
the other, so that the signatures
alone are disclosed and none of
the amounts. All of these are then
covered with a large pane of glass.
1t is well to place fiat gifts around
the edges Of the glass to prevent
the nlight-be-curious from lifting
it.
