Youths Wonder How
Authorities Caught
Them So Quickly

Two young people in the Garrett
County Jail, are awaiting action Of
the Garrett County grand jury, both
of them wondering how the authori-
ties caught up with them so quickly.
One is Richard Cline, about 81, ar
rested on a charge of armed robbery
of the Varsity Maid. The armed rob-
berry occurred last Wednesday night
and he was arrested the following
morning at his home in Vindex.
The other is Paul II. Coleman, II,
arrested on a charge of grand lar
ceny. The theft took place in Kitz-
miller last Wednesday night and the
youth was arrested Friday evening
in Glassport, Pa, according to Sheriff
Paul w. Fisher.
Fisher related that last Wednesday
night the automobile of Irwin Itch
nell was broken into and about $3.50
taken from Mrs. Tichnell's pocketbook
which was underneath a cover on the
seat.
The sheriff stated that Coleman, a
former resident of Kitzmiller, had
been employed in Glassport, and he
was trailed to that town. He has made
statement to States Attorney w
Dwight Slower, admitting his guilt
Fisher said. At a hearing before Trial
Magistrate w. 0. Bitter, Coleman is
being held under $4,000 bond.
Cline, an AWOL soldier, was or
dcred held under $4,000 bond on the
armed robbery charge.

around the Varsity Maid last Wednes-
day evening, and making arrange
ments for taxi to take him to King
wood Cline used % revolver to
hold up the establishment and obtain
SIS from two Mattresses, Barbara
kimmell and Pauline Murphy. His
plan backfired when William Landon
taxi driver, refused to take him any
where, in spite Of his demand at gun
point. He fled after firing a shot at
the sidewalk near where two higI
school students were standing The
two, Thomas Hutchinson and Jimmy
Sisler, were planning to accompany
the taxi driver on his pfojey Ted jaun,
to Kingwood.
The mans identity was learned by
articles left in his suitcase which was
left behind when he fled, and he was
under arrest less than u hours after

covered and hold-up gun identified

NEW YORK, Feb. 26. (INs)-
Fashion will be in the pink this
summer-but not a baby bonnet
or flushed face shade.
Next summers pink will be a
good rosy pink, with d~elicacy in
it, but strength too.
This "unpampered pink" hard
to describe on paper, will have a
character all its own. 1t won't be
dusty, gravyed-off, bright or pale.
1t will be a pink that manages
TO go well with not only black,
navy and brown, but with all
shades of gray. And it's scheduled
to appear in everything from ac-
cessories to dresses, suits and
coats.
Runners-up to pink in the pastel
line are light blues, yellows and
the violet shades that have been
high fashion for the past two sum-
mers.

was permitted to ruin hisbaseball
career by the Chicago White Sox,
who refused to pay him what he
considered a fair salary.
He had been in 1919 one of the
few honest White Sox in the SELL
out o fthe Chicago team in the
World Series against the Cincin-
natl Reds. When he sought a JUS
titled contract the next season,
he was deprived Of it and he stayed
out of baseball.
Some others have held out until
a season was under way, and there
have been less spectacular ones
than the Dickie Kerr stand, but
generally the owners and the ath-
letes manager to get together in
the best interest of all concerned.
Repeatedly, Maglie signed for
about $4,000. If he can help the
Giants to another pennant he is
worth every penny of it.

Morris Will Probe
Gov. Workers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. (INS)
= Corruption prober, Newbold
Morris disclosed plans to ask key
government workers for a full ac-
count of thei rincome and finances
since taking their federal posts.
Morris told reporters he is put
ting the final touches on a de-
tailed QUESTIONABLE, which should
be at the printers by the end of
the week.
The New York Republican will
ask a complete listing of income
from government posts, outside
business~and other sources.
The final returns presumably
would be kept secret unless they
lead to prosecution in the courts.
Morris said his QUESTIONABLE
probably will go to most govern
ment workers above the cledical
and manual labor grades. He said.
the Civil Service commission is
now studying it's list to determine
who should be required to answer.
The head of the anti-corruption
drive also disclosed that he has

He has also given up trying to
explain his own golf game, a sport
of which he is enamoured.
"But I never keep track of the
score or count the strokes" he
said. 1T would take an Einstein
to do that! And that reminded
him of his favorite musical story.
Artur Schnabel, the late, great
pianist, and Albert Einstein, the
erstwhile violinist, loved to play
duets. Once, when they were in
the midst of a Beethoven Sonata,
E~instein, the worlds greatest
mathematician, became hopelessly
lost in the score.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26. (INS)-
If you were the owner of a major
league baseball club = extremely
unlikely considering that of all
the billions of people in this world
there can be only Is of these
one of your big headaches would
come in the spring subsequent to
winning a pennant.
And even if you were to beat
the odds against owning a major
league club, the chances of win
ming a pennant would be slim con-
sidering that there can be only
two each year.
However, if you owned a club
and then won a pennant you would
find yourself surrounded and
hemmed in b va vertiable mess of
unsigned contracts at the start OF
preparations for next season.
IT. was ever thus.
The New York Giants have just
signed Sal Maglie, one of the men
they positively must have if they
are to repeat their National lea
que pennant conquesth of last
season.
This completed the signing of
the Giants 35-man roster for
spring training and assured that
Maglie will be in the Giants
Phoenix (Ariz.) camp in plenty
of time to get into top shape.
Holdouts are not so important
as they may sound, except for
the fact that when an owner sets
his budget for next season he can
find himself a littel nettled by
stars who seek an upping of what
appeared to be a pretty fair wage
for services delivered.
The owner must be prepared
for same and generally is. Other
wise holdouts would really be
holdouts and teams would wind up
going to camp with half the squad
left back home.
