Hallowe'en In
City Unusually
Quiet This Year
Quiet predominated last night as
Lr Grande celebrated Hallowe'en and
although pranksters were out, no
complaints were lodged against them,
Jim Steffen, police chief, said this
morning. The majority of the Hal
lowe'en fun consisted of soaping win
down and ringing doorbells, and it is
believed to be the quietest event of
its kind here In several years.
No Injuries were reported Inside the
city, although Warren Hawes. of
Mca,cham. 12 years old, was brought
to tne Grande Ronde hospital for
treatment for a broken leg and a head
Injury, sustained last night while ob
serving Hallowe'en.
Av, old buggy with', only 'qjic wheel
was "parked near tho corner of Adams
avenue and Fir street, but no valu
able property was damaged so far as
police reports show.
Somo additional excitement was
caused earlier in the evening when
the fire truck made a short run to a
downtown garage.
PORTLAND POLICE USE RADIO
PORTLAND. Nov. 1 (JP) A hob-gob-lln
If. no match for the police radio.
The city's yougstcrs learned this
last night after having long laid
plans for a line, largo night ot Hal
lowe'en vandalism. Scores of these
plans went glimmering by timely ar
rival of rodlo-equipped police cars.
At first the roistering youths be
lieved it mere coincidence. But after
being caught red-hanaded several
times they realized the thing they
were up against was science.
Arrests were few. Scooting to the
scene- of a prank the radio cars fre
quently arrived as the deed was be
ing consummated. "Put 'em back,
boys," was the unfailing order. And
sheepishly the pranksters returned
tho sign or replaced the porch, seat.
The only consequential damage re
ported was a $000 fire caused when
9-year-old Donald Carter took his
pumpkin Jack-o'-lantern to the at
tic to light a candle in It:

tho president didn't say than by what

rapt attention went unrewarded. I
had heard the report that he had a
very Important commitment to make

to the ducking and dodging of the
Republican platform and failed to
say one word on this subject of such
vast importance politically, socially
and economically to the entire na

to knock them down. His speech
