Parents Bring Children
Mr. Klein said most of those who present themselves to be printed volunteer their reasons.

4000 Civilians Fingerprinted; One Tells Why He Objects
In two months since the elviliah fingerprinting stations have heen open, only orie person took the trouble to tell attendants why he didn’t want his prints on file. It happened at the City Hall but? it doesn’t worry ILieut. Bert Perrot, who already has supervised the fingerprinting of nearly 4000 citizens. The two WPA workers ih charge of the City Hall station, Charles Clements and Ira Klein, were printing Boy Scouts, children so small they had to stand on chairs and old men one day last week when a man approached them. “Do you wish to be fingerprinted?” Mr. Klein asked the man. “No, I do not,” he answered. “Suppose I were alone in a hotel room talking to a friend and shduld leave, and 10 minutes later the man was found murdered?
Fears Involvement
“Then what if I were to become excited ‘on hearing of the crime and fail to report I was in the rQqom? “The police might find my finger- | print on a table and check the eivilian files, pick me up and charge me with the murder, the real murderer [having committed the perfect crime.” “Wait a minute,” Mr. Klein said. But the man walked away. Lieut. Perrott said, “In the first | place, perfect crimes are nearly un-| oh one small boy and never did get heard of and the real murderer | a g00d set.

person runs the same risk of being involved, if any, in the so-called perfect crime whether his prints are on file or not.” “In the third place, the man didn't understand what we are trying to do.”
A variance request was on file today with the Zoning Board for a fertilizer plant to be located at 1850 Raymond St.
In the request, filed yesterday, F. S. Royster Guano Co. asked authority to enlarge and remodel the building at a cost of $500,000. Jackiel Joseph, attorney for the company, said that between 200 and 400 men would be employed at the plant. C. F. Burroughs, company president, indicated if the proposed plant were a success, his company contemplated the erection of an acid plant here at a cost of $2,000,000.
Apartment Reguest Granted
The Board yesterday granted a variance request to T. A. and J. R. Moynahan for the construction of | a 48-unit apartment building on the northeast corner of Central and Fairfield Aves. Estimated cost of the building was not announced. Action on the variance request of the Riley Memorial Association and General Protestant Orphans Association to erect a 24-unit apartment building at 3346 N. Pennsylvania St. was postponed for 30 days in which time the School Board was to be offered the purchase of the land as a drill ground for Shortridge High School.
