PORTLAND (AP)-Portland s
biggest department store re
opened its doors Monday, after
a one-day closure Saturday be
cause of a bomb scare, and cus
tomers flocked into the store in
what appeared to be normal
numbers.
Detectives and policemen were
on hand, however, in unusual
numbers, eyeing those going into
the building and checking boxes
and packages delivered to the
building.
An extortionist set off a bomb
in a third-floor men's washroom
Friday, and sent a note to Aaron
Frank, head of the firm, de
manding $50,000. The note
threatened a greater bomb ex
plosion Saturday if the money
was not paid.
The Friday bomb did little
damage.
Frank said an attempt was
made to pay the money, but con
tact was not made with the ex
tortionist. The store then was
closed Saturday, while police
combed the store for a planted
bomb. They found none.

Free Booklet Tells How
You Can Read Better.
Faster, Easier
CHICAGO (Special)—Now every
student can learn to zip through
reading assignments quickly and
easily, actually read difficult study
material twice as fast with complete
understanding. The secret is an
amazing new simple technique, de
veloped by Steven Warren of
Chicago’s famed Foundation for
Better Reading.
Although most students are slow
word-by-word readers, this new
proven method helps anyone pick
up speed, says the noted educator.
Poor reading habits can cost you too
much study time, make exams
harder, cause disappointing grades,
and keep you from essential social
activities.
To acquaint student readers of
this paper with this miraculous new
technique for better reading, full de
tails are described in a fascinating
booklet, “How You Can Read Bet
ter, Faster, Easier." It will be mailed
free to anyone who requests it. No
obligation. Address: Mr. iSteven

chines were developed.
After 1930. discoveries began
to multiply. One of the first
methods of tracing subnuclear
particles was by tracing their
path through matter, usually a
superheated fluid, or photo
graphic emulsion.
The first particles had almost
pastoral simplicity compared to
those which came later, Oppen
heimer said.
Oppenheimer spoke to a packed
and overflowing audience which
filled the ballroom and the ad
joining hall and spilled out into
the fishbowl and the Taylor
lounge.
