Delinquent Youths’ ‘Crimes ;

Range From Robbery To ‘Vandalism.

‘younger boys of all their clothes,

telling them they could have their

clothes back by returning to the

park today with $1 apiece. Rob Jewelry Store The “ransom” gang finally let their victims have their pants back. The four boys robbed were David and James Skelley, 830 N. Gray st., 12 and 11 years old, respectively; Robert Brown, 641 N. Oakland ave., and Robert Elixman, 12, 831 N. Oakland ave., both 12 years old. At the Koenig and Friedrichs jewelry store at 142 N., Meridian st., two youths, 15 and 16 years old, swiped $47 from the cash register. They were arrested. Four children of one family, 9, 10, 11 and 13 years old, were turned over to juvenile aid authorities for vandalism in both the men’s and ladies’ restrooms at Fink park.

Ayres department store with goods on their persons that. they had taken from counters. Police also finally caught up with an 11-year-old boy who has held up several people. They found an

: antique pistol in the youth’s home

which his father said belonged to him. Clarence B. Wolf Jr., 18, of 40 N. Temple st., was arrested for the theft of a purse from the baggage room at the union station and C. H. Locks, 520 E. Miami st., reported to police that he had been robbed, at point of gun, of $12 by a youth-

ALLIED FORCE HEADQUARTERS, North Africa, Aug. 27.—The railway and steamship lines of the world gained 12 steady post-war

,jcustomers last night when a dozen

Americans en route from New York to the Mediterranean war zone connected with a bolt of lightning over the -Atlantic. The experience was just about as shattering as anythnig that happens in wartime, and a little bit more so than being bombed or shot at on

or over dry land. We were several hours out, pounding along through the night behind 8000 horse power when we ran into a 'typical North Atlantic storm with all the trimmings. A wind of gale force, driving rain, thunder and lightning. Our great airliner drove steadily through it and the. customers settled -back in an effort to fall asleep and forget. about it. We had only -achieved a restless half doze when suddenly the world seemed to come to an end. There was a great shattering explosion and

Victim Identifies Attacker, Dies

CHICAGO, Aug. 27 (U. P)~— James Pritchard, 49, died on the witness stand, but he lived long enough to identify the man who slugged him. A burglar slugged Pritchard with a gun butt March 27, and physicians took 14 stitches in his head. Jesse Chandler, 33, a Negro, was arrested. In court yesterday, Pritchard was asked to identify his assailant. He pointed an accusing finger at Chandler. Then he collapsed and died. Doctors said his death may have been due to - complications from the gun butt wounds.

TRUMAN MEMBERS GOING TO ALASKA

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (U. P). —Senate Truman committee members will leave on a second trip to Alaska this week-end, k was learned today. The trip will be made by army plane, but the purpose of “the trip} was kept secret. It was suggested that they may be looking at Alaskan supplies of manpower and material as a possible invasion base against Japan on the theory that such a course now is possible since Japanese withdrawal from Kiska. It also. was reported, without any confirmation, that they may stop en route to investigate the use of army funds to develop northwest Canadian airfields.

who had been chatting in the back of the cabin was through the door

of .the control room before the sounds had died away. We all felt for our “Mae Wests” and steeled ourselves for a: long flaming drive into the sea below. The air corps major across the contributed the helpful theory that one of our 2000 horse power Pratt and Whitneys had blown up. Into this scene of frozen pandemonium there then reappeared the flight engineer who now rates with all of us as the greatest good fellow in the world. : “It’s alright,” he announced cheerfully, “We just got hit by lightning. Everything’s okay.” Later, a general in the air corps went vp to see the pilot. “Thank God,” he said. “He was just as scared as I was.” ! When we looked our plane over this morning, there wasn’t a mark on it, which still doesn’t shake our faith ina goad fast boat.
