Bobbysock Shoplifters, Many From
Good Families, Hard Problem for
Portland Officials, Business Men
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 22. ( AP ) Bobbysockers who shop
lift for fun are baffling juvenile officials here and have Portland
retailers walking on their heels.
Young girls, who seem to skip classes to shoplift as casually as
boys play hookey to go fishing, have been arrested from nearly every
high school and grade school in
town and from some of the city's
better homes.
The thefts practically all for
personal use, not for sale have
been increasing for two years.
The bobbysock brigade seems to
be doing its Christmas shoplifting
early, and police say it beats any
thing they've ever seen. I
A 12-yoar-old was caught with
$150 of cashmere sweaters, beads
and bracelets in a shopping bag.
A girl of 17 admitted stealing
$700 worth of goods In seven
months to send as gifts to her
sailor sweetheart. At one glove
counter a detective caught five
girls, each with a stolen pair of
gloves in her size.
One deDartment store official
said shoplifting had run Into so
many thousands of dollars that
his auditors held up Inventory re
ports, thinking there must have
been a bookkeeping error. "I've
teen nothing like It In 34 years,"
he said.

Jeeves, Recently Freed ay Gestapo,
Put Under Arrest by Paris Officials
LONDON, Nov. 22. (AP) P. G. Wodehouse, the English au
thor, and his wife have been arrested by French authorities in Paris,
a diplomatic source said today.
Details of the charge were not made known. It was said that
questions of procedure were under, discussion between French and
English authorities.
Wodehouse and his wife were
moved from Berlin to Paris by
the Germans before the enemy
was driven from France.
The 63-year-old British humor
ist, creator oi tne turner Jeeves,
was caught by the Germans late
in May, 1940, in his villa at Le
Toquet, France; and spent nearly
a year in prison and internment
camps. In the period between his
release and his return to France,
he was permitted to move around
in Berlin freely.
He was severely criticized both
in Britain and the United States
for talks he made on the German
radio in 1941, but in Sept. of this
year in Paris he denied reports
that he lived in luxury.
Misunderstood He says
"The world completely misun
derstood my purpose in connec
tion with the broadcasts from
Germany," he said at the time.
He added that he had been re
leased by the gestapo in the us
ual manner after a year's intern
ment, as were numerous other
British civilians.
He said his talks were merely
his manner of letting his friends
know he was well and acknowl
edging their packages and letters
and their help in seeking his re
lease. He said the Germans did
not dictate what he was to sayi
Reds Gain Further
Ground in Hungary
LONDON. Nov. 22 (AP The
Red army drive for control of
northeastern Hungary's rail net
work has captured Verpelet,
eight miles southwest of Eger and
is- edging closer to the strategic
rail junction of Miskolc and Hat-
van, Moscow advices said today.
Still another threat to the Ger
mans in that general sector was
seen In a Berlin announcement
that the Russians had uncorked a
fresh push in Czechoslovakia
southwest of Ungar, 75 miles
northeast of Miskolc. The nazis
said seven to eight Soviet divis-P
ions nad ripped several holes In
German defenses between the
Ung and Latorica rivers.
A Moscow communique said
German forces pocketed in south
west Latvia had made 40 vain
counterattacks in a single day be
low Jelgava, losing 13 tanks, but
the announcement still did not
confirm Berlin assertions that
the Russians began a major of
fensive Sunday.
The Russians, however, did an
nounce the virtual clearance of
the Baltic Island of Saare (Osel)
guarding the entrance to the Gulf
of Riga.
There was no new word on the
continuing siege of Budapest
from points south and southeast
of the capital.
