GUNMEN FAIL IN SAFE CRACKING, HOLDUP PLOTS
Bakery Strongbox Defies Drill; Haymaker Routs Bandits.
Four gunmen failed early today in two separate crime-farces. Two of the gunman invaded the DeLuxe Cake and Pastry Shop, 657 E. 38th St, and ordered Richard Everett, 23, of 228 Trowbridge St., the baker who was there alone, to help them move a safe. across a room. : He refused and one of them struck him. Then they tied his hands, moved the safe themselves, and set to work on it with an electric drill. ‘Walk Across the Room’ Every once in a while, they made Mr. Everett walk casually across the room in the vision line from outside, to make things appear natural. They forced him to start the oven which made a noise that covered the drill. They worked for hours. About 4 a. m. one of them said: “I can’t get this thing open. Come on, let's go.” Whereupon they tied Mr. Everett's feet and gagged him, rifled his street clothes hanging in a locker

and took 85 cents, overlooking $20, and fied. Mr. Everett worked the gag out of | his mouth, and stumbled and fell in the direction of the phone until he reached it, dialed the operator, and reported the crime to police.
Foils Holdup Men
James Kuhns, 36, of 3444 N. Pennsylvania "St., a salesman, was the other intended victim. He had just put his car in the garage in the rear of his home shortly after midnight, had locked the garage door and turned to ente rhis home. A gunman, masked with a handkerchief, addressed him: “Give me your money and the keys to your car. . . Mr. Kuhns interrupted him with a haymaker that khocked him down but apparently not out.

FLAGG INSPECTS
‘FAMOUS POSTER
Visits Legion Collection, but
Regrets He Cannot Furnish Original.
By JOE COLLIER In 1917, James Montgomery Flagg | painted a picture for the cover of | Leslie's Weekly magazine. - For this
he received and cashed a check and The magazine i printed the picture. In normal times and under normal circumstances, that, with no further ado, would have been that. But actually it wasn’t that, it was something far different—something {that still goes on. Several months later a gentleman
| from the War Department at Wash-
ington called on Mr. Flagg in New York, produced a sketch and asked if it looked familiar.
It Certainly Did It did. Mr. Flagg told him that it
ll was a copy of the picture he had
painted for the magazine. The man from the War Department murmured thoughtfully: “I thought so. I'll go right back and toss that guy out.” Then he explained that the enterprising individual had copied Mr. Flagg's magazine cover and had been trying to sell it to the War Department for an enlistment poster. It was, of course, the picture of Uncle Sam pointing his finger at you. Mr. Flagg readily agreed to allow the War Department to use the poster, and altogether more than four million of them were printed for the last war. Mr. Flagg did 42 other posters, all gratis, but none so famous as-this one.

It occured to his hosts and to the National Commander, Milo Warner, of the American Legion that would be nice for them to look over | the American Legion Headquarter's because it's

So Mr. Flagg visited headquarters and was photographed with Commander Warner looking at the famous poster. “By the way, Mr. Flagg,” said Commander Warner, “if you happen to have the original of this and feel generous, the Legion would love to have it for its files.” Mr. Flagg rubbed his chin, “I would be delighted to be of service to the Legion,” he said, “but the original of this belongs now to the Smithsonian Institution.”. .
