* PURSE THIEVES
ROB 2 WOMEN
Sidewalk Bandits Active in City Overnight.
Sidewalk bandits resumed their after-dark trade last night by gnatching two women's purses and robbing three men. Pfc. Harry Wallace, 29, of 1405 E.

Ora Hollingsworth, 70, of 1110 W. 84th st., was slugged and robbed of $30 near 30th st. and Northwestern ave, Cecil Miller, 27, Spencer hotel, told police he was slugged early this morning and robbed of $45, a black Jack and a fifth of whiskey on S. Illinois st. near the hotel. Two north side purse snatchings netted little money for thieves. Edith Hampton, Grand hotel, pajd two men grabbed her purse containing 50 Bents at 17th st. and College ave, Knocked to Ground Mrs. Murley Stokes, 2027 Bellefontaine ave., was slugged and| knocked to the ground by a lone bandit at 21st and Bellefontaine.

Tene Mayor Tyndall received a firsthand account of the poor street cleaning service in the northwest section of the city at the clean-up organizational meeting Tuesday from Edgar Majors, 1928 Highland pl. A member of the Community Civic league, Mr, Majors asserted that the area from 16th st. to Fall Creek blvd. and Northwestern to Capitol aves. hasn’t been cleaned more than twice in six years. Cleaned Only Once “The area Capitol ave. to 20th st. on Highland pl. has been cleaned once in that period of time,” Mr. Majors charged. The mayor merely shrugged his shoulders and replied that his neighborhood faced similar problems. He did, however, promise that the administration would purchase additional street cleaning equipment by next fall. Citizens living just outside the mile-square are wondering - how trash collectors overlooked a winterlong accumulation of ashes, tin cans and old newspapers in an alley near Washington and West sts.

A group of Southside citizens wonder how they can prosecute promiscuous dumpers who deface the area around Dawson st. and Legrande ave. by depositing garbage on vacant lots: Letters to The Times “These dumpers throw refuse on sidewalks and even go over the sidewalk witd their trucks and cars. They dump on private lots where ‘No Dumping’ signs are posted,” these Southsiders report. In a letter to the Hoosier Forum, these persons threaten to turn in license numbers to the police de-

A—According to the latest regulations, only AAF technicians whe have been released since May 12, 1945, can get their old grades back. AAF recruiting experts say, however, that you could probably get your old grade back in a hurry. Q—I want to re-enlist in the air force. But they told me I would have to come back within 90 days if I wanted my old grade back. Is this true? A—If you got out after May 12, 1945, and go back before June 30, 1946, you can get a grade commensurate with your service. But if you re-enlist within 90 days you get the same. grade and in addition might be eligible for a higher grade. Q—I was a warrant officer in the air force. I am not eligible to enlist as master sergeant but want to get back. What should I do in order to get the best job possible? A—Apply in writing to the commanding general, army air forces. Your qualifications will be studied and assignment made according to merit.
