II Of 20 Girl Fugifives
From State Home CAUGHT
BY the Associated Press

TRENTON. N. j., Oct. "A
spokesman for the New Jersey
State Home for Girls said about
20 girls broke out of the insti-
tuition tonight after locking up
two supervisors.
Seventeen of the girls were
picked up within two hours, but
three were still at large, the
spokesman said.
He said the girls "ganged up"
on the supervisors and locked
one in the basement and another
in the third floor of a segregation
cottage where the more incor-
rigible girls are placed.
Police from Trenton and
Ewing Township. using cruiser
cars and patrolmen, started q
search after an uproar in an ad-
joining cottage brought atten-
ton to the break.
Girls are committed to the
home for incorrigibility, truancy
and general juvenile delinquency
and range in age from eight to
II years. The institution has q
capacity Of about 200.

Seven Corners Store
Robbed Of $1,000
By Two Gunmen
Victims Forced to Open
Safe, Then Are Locked
In Refrigerator Room

Two bandits fed with between
$1,000 and $4,000 after a closing
time holdup last night at a Food
Fair store near Seven Corners,
Va, Fairfax County police said.
The thugs shut their victims
in a refrigerated room and
warned them:
Don't stay in there any longer
than 10 minutes"
Robbed at Gun Point.
The bandits walked into the
store in the Willston Shopping
Center on Arlington boulevard
near Patrick Henry drive shortly
after 9 o'clock last night.
They told the manager, VIII
liam E. Neil, 46, that they wanted
to do some shopping. Mr.. Nei
protested that the store was
closed.
Both holdup men drew guns
and one of them said:
you're open now"
One held a gun at the head
Of the manager and forced him
to open the safe.
After scooping out the money,
the bandits herded the manager
and three other employees - the
butcher, an odd-jobs youth and
a woman check-out clerk-into
the refrigerated room.
Reprisals Feared.
They piled boxes in front of
the door to hold it closed.
After the bandits left, the four
store employees managed to shove
open the door, and Mr.. Neil
called police. r.
Fairfax County police would
not reveal the names Of the other
store employees. They said they
feared reprisals by the bandits.
Both gunmen were described
as in their early 20s, one of dark
complexion and the other Of
light complexion. Both wore
sports clothes.

Humphrey, Hard Compoigner.
Rated Winner in Minnesota
Bjornson of g. O. P. Stumps Steadily,
But Fair Dealer Is Favored for Senate

ate nomination in the DFL pri-
mary. On the Republican side,
Val Bjornson, who won the NOM
ination to oppose Senator Hum
phrey, received 237,690 of the
271, ,290 votes in the G.. O. p.
primary.
Admittedly 1t looks dark for
Mr.. Bjornson. However, the Re-
publicans, and Mr.. Bjornson
himself, are not admitting defeat
or the prospect Of defeat. Mr..
Bjornson is completing his sec
ond term as State treasurer. His
ambition. it is said, was really
to run eventually for Governor.
He was drafted by the Republic
can organization to make the
senatorial race.
Mr.. Bjornson has caInpaigned
literally night and day-and
he is keeping it UP. His efforts.
his campaign managers say, are
showing results. They claim
that there has been a shift of
sentiment in favor of Mr.. Bjorn-
son. It's possible but it will take
q big shift to land him q winner
November 2.
Early in the year the Republic
cans eyed the Humphrey Sem
ate seat with some hope. Presi-
dent Eisenhower in 1852 had
carried :. Minnesota by $4,000
votes over Adlai Stevenson, re-
versing a long series Of defeats
for Republican presidential can
didates in Minnesota.
Humphrey Is Target.
There probably isn't a Demo-
crat in the Senate who the Re-
publicans would prefer to un-
seat-for to them Senator
Humphrey is the epitome of the
New Deal-Fair Deal party which
the Republicans insist has been
leading the country down the
path of socialism and anyway,
they need this seat II they are
to have q real working majority
in the Senate in the 84th Con-
gress. They now realize it is
going to be hard to get for
these reasons: The drop in farm
prices, the resentment among
many dairy farmers of Mime
sofa because of the Benson
order to reduce the supports
for milk and dairy products to
IS per cent of parity-from 90
per cent--and dislike of the
farmers for the Eisenhower
Benson program of flexible price
supports.
The Republican candidate for
Senator. however, is a tall, up
standing, personable man and a
good talker, too. He is veteran
Of World War II, which his OPP
ponent is not. He is Of Icelandic
descent, with a name that ap-
peals to the large Scandinavian
(by blood) population of Mime
sofa. And he has won twice in
Statewide contests and there
fore Is known to the voters.
His war service was in the
Navy for more than four years.

to the location Congress ap.
proved in July for a new Poto-
mac span just upriver from Ar
lington Memorial Bridge--told
The Star they are favorably in
clined toward this alternative:
Build one short span from the
Virginia shore to the northern
part of Roosevelt Island. Route
traffic across the island on road
ways. Then build a second low
level bridge span from the WASH
ington side OF. the island to the
District shore.
It isn't that the commission
likes the idea of any new bridge
in the island area. II
Obnoxious to Some.
But to some members, at least,
the location Congress authorized
is obnoxious enough to force an
other look at the island.
Congress said the bridge
should parallel Arlington Me-
mortal bridge about 1900 up
river from it. The span would
just miss the southern tip Of
Roosevelt Island. 1t would hit
the District shore near Constitu-
ton avenue.
The reasoning Of the Fine Arts
members is that the Lincoln
Memorial, the mall. the Potomac
and its parklands, the memorial
bridge and Arlington Memorial
Cemetery all make up one of the
most carefully-planned beauty
areas in the world. They feel the
new bridge, which has no es-
thetic part in the, scene, would
dominate it and detract from
the view from any vantage point.

position to the site Congress set
