NEW YORK, Feb. 26—We have, occasionally, some peculiar administration of the law in this town. I'told you once of the cop who bought himself clear of murder by paying the victim's widow $1500. Here, today, we have a clear case of breaking and entering, with a potential of murder, robbery, or rape, which has been kissed off as disorderly conduct and a probationary status awarded to the culprit. A girl I know, whom we will call Susie, inhabits an apartment I used to live in. To get into the apartment you must have a key to the vestibule, and then walk up two flights and unlock another door before you are home. It is on the top floor of a three-story building in Greenwick Village. . ¢ Bb SUSIE AWAKENED at 4:30 a. m. not long ago to a horrifying noise. She saw a pair of male feet protruding into her bedroom. The feet had just kicked her door down, and had shattered the mirror on the other side of the door. A man, obviously drunk, had removed his coat, overcoat, shirt and tie before he kicked down the door in a house in which he would have made an illegal entry once-he passed the locked foyer door. : Susie squawked for her brother, who lives in an apartment on the floor below her. Brother comes roaring up the stairs to see this halfundressed man trying to force his'way into his sister's room, across the busted door. Brother tackles intruder, while sister phones for the cops. The arresting officers roughed up the housebreaker, and took’'him away. Susie and brother were told to appear in week-end court that morning at 9. When they arrived, prepared to make charges of breaking and entering, plus assault, they found that the man was already on the blotter on a charge of disorderly conduct. The

“I'VE EATEN plenty of hot dogs,” answered Miss Lynn. ' Cute, : ' “Had enough breakfast?” “Plenty.” J : Miss Lynn was dressed in a sharp black dress, black pump shoes, couple of thin gold bracelets and had the nicest pair of blue eyes I've seen in a long time. Wally was disappointed seeing the cavewoman fully dressed. Frankly, so was I. Miss Lynn said she would change into her Kitty Mager original leopard skin ' immediately. Would we wait in the ballroom? We would. She went to her room on he seventh floor. » p IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES, Miss Lynn walked into the ballroom. She was wearing a fur coat and leopard skin sandles with tongs. Her toenails were painted bright red. Her big toes looked like twin beetles. _ Miss Lynn slipped her fur coat off and stood before us in the leopard skin. I looked at her fur coat. , “Is that beaver?” I asked. “What do you mean is THAT beaver? That coat has been on tour.” K OK. My practiced eye scrutinized her dimensions. “You weigh 120 pounds, are five feet eight inches tall, have a ‘36-inch bust, 24-inch waist and 36inch hips.” On the nose. Sad bh Wally wanted action. Miss Lynn sald she never hit a man with a club. She could show us how she subdued a male in “Prehistoric Women.” Wally got his camera ready. Wu ah ob
THE CAVEWOMAN from Winchester, who is a graduate of Myncie Central High School, who was in Broadway productions of “Inside U. 8. A.” “Touch and Go,” “Miss Liberty” and “Bonanza Bound,” flexed her shoulders. When the camera was focused, Miss Lynn put her arms around my head and squeezed. The power she exerted would have restrained me when I was six months old. At the age of two I would have taken on Miss Lynn, two falls out of three. > + I DON'T KNOW about these prehistoric women. Hollywood version, that is. For actual combat scenes, the producers of cavewomen pictures ought to go on any college campus for technical pointers. What I remember of my college days on the Bloomington campus, it got pretty rough on occasion. If you weren't in top physical condition you would find your fraternity pin on the bosom of some girl. You were pinned, hooked, Jack. It would take more than a headlock to get it back, too. Oh, “Prehistoric Women” opens at the Lyric Wednesday. I wonder if Sen. Capehart saw the picture. I wonder if he knows there is a picture featuring prehistoric Hgmen-
Susie Builds Prison To Keep Em Out
& court refused to change the charge because the arresting officer had already. commmitied it. > SUSIE WAS told the man had not been fingerprinted, ‘because he was wearing nice clothes and was not a bum.” He was arraigned on the disorderly conduct charge and turned loose on probation. This despite the fact that earlier in the night he had been thrown out of a cafe for loud obscenity and warned by policemen. He said the usual—“everything went black.” It seems to me that a strange man, partially unclad, who crashes anyone's house and kicks down a door is something more than a disorderly-conduct candidate. Drunk, sober or insane, he has no justification for his presence in any person’s home at 4:30 a. m., unless he has come there for evil. To book him summarily on a misdemeanor looks to be a remarkably slipshod method of police work. This is such a misdemeanor that violent intruders in homes get shot for. But a man who kicks in the door of a strange lady's bedroom doesn’t even get booked on an illegal entry charge. “dD IT IS not for the cops to prejudice the case of a man who may have had much evil, including murder or rape, on his obviously twisted mind,
" hy deciding the charge on which he is to be
booked before the complaining witnesses arrive in court. Remember, too, that before the cops came, Susie's brother had been fighting off the intruder in their own home. t Susie is pretty bitter. She says that if any marauder can bust down a lady's door and get off free, she is going to invest in a nice set of pars for her windows, too, because obviously this is not considered to be a serious offense by the police. She is building her own prison to keep ‘em out, rather than allowing the state to assume the burden of-protection of a lady's boudoir from strangers so early in the morn.

By United Press The government reinstated rationing of bread and flour today as the country publicly celebrated the 3d anniversary of the Come munist rise to power. An official. announcement said that the ration for this week would be one kilogram (2.2046 pounds) of flour, 1.5 kilograms of bread and 0.5 kilograms of rolls and buns. It said after Mar. 5 the ration for each four weeks would be five kilograms (11 pounds) of bread and seven kilograms (15 pounds) of rolls and buns or about five kilograms (11 pounds) of flour every four weeks for working people. Nonworkers will get one-third less, The announcement said that ration cards would be issued to the whole population, except peasants, who will have to barter wheat or rye from their own supplies for bread and flour at bakeries. Flour has been acutely short for the past month. Housewives formed queues in front of stores to obtain it.
