There was hardly an item on the entire log Friday morning worth writing about in a single story. But, considered in total, it looked as though the law en forcement officers' of the city were keeping plenty busy. A chef, at a local hotel reported at 9 p.m. that a woman had wandered toward the kitchen en trance from an alley, asking him if he had seen her children. "No," he told her. She told him she "must have locked them in the baggage room" of a nearby bus depot, and she wandered away. The chef called police. On investi gating, they found no further evidence. "STOLEN" CAR CASE About the same time of night, police recovered a "stolen" late model yellow convertible. Its loss was reported by a man who parked it near E. 7th Ave. and Oak St. He left it unlocked, but took the ignition key with him, intending to attend a meet ing for about an hour. Forty-five minutes later he stepped outside the meeting place for a smoke and noticed the vehicle missing. He notified po lice and signed a comprehensive theft report, including authoriza tion to use force and firearms if necessary to recover the converti ble. Investigating in the area of the loss with a policeman, the citizen noticed his car parked near N. Park. St. and Oak a few minutes later. The case was cleared Here's what had happened: The man's wife had used her set of keys, thinking her husband would not be outside the building until 10 p.m. She took the car, intend ing to pick him up at that time. SCREAMING WOMEN These are the routine events which occur in almost any 24 hour period in a department the size of the Eugene police. Some are humorous perhaps to outside observers, but all are o great importance at the time they hap pen to the persons involved. For example, there were sev eral women screaming in the city overnight. A report was made that one woman on Law rence St. was making a lot of noise. Investigation proved that it was a husband and wife fight ing, but the officer noted that 'all was okay by early morn ing." Another woman was yelling, Help. help, help," at 1:10 a.m. Thursday near W. 15th Ave. and Washington St. The officer as' signed to the case could hear no noise nor find evidence that any one was in trouble. VACATION CHECKS Another woman told police she was receiving obscene phone calls every few minutes over her telephone. And among the more routine events were receipt of several re quests to make vacation prowl checks. The department annually makes hundreds , of regular :-5SV it l tFOR SALE (Register-Guard photo, Wiltshire eng.) THE HOME OF HUNDREDS of post-war student-vet-crans was fast disappearing from the University of Ore gon landscape this week as crews dismantled the emerg ency housing Veterans Dormitory on Alder St. The building is being replaced now by a permanent addition to John Straub Hall. The structure was erected here shortly after the war to house the huge influx of GI Bill students, and later was used as a regular boys' dormitory. It came originally from a government project in the Portland area. THE i II Co : mm rv& n n v 3d x HELD OVER 2nd WEEK DIRECT ,J FROM HOLLYWOOD AMERICA'S NEW COMEDY SENSATION!

Box 4311, Oakridge, Oregon checks to residences of persons who are away from the city. One such routine check Thurs day revealed that a door on the west side of a house was open Owners were away and had re quested a check. The officer found the building otherwise in tact, and locked the door. At 3 p.m. Thursday" a San Francisco sign painter toppled from near the top of a 15-foot ladder while trimming a sign at 605 Willamette St He injured himself and splattered a great deal of paint over himself and the sidewalk. ASSORTED HAZARDS One of "Eugene's finest" made a report to headquarters that tall grass in vacant lots on both sides of High St. at 18th Ave. is causing a traffic hazard. The offi cer said it obstructs vision of motorists. Two 12-year-old boys were re ported to be roaming a neighbor hood with BB guns and eight inch hunting knives. An officer notified the mother of one of them and she promised to keep the boys (cousins) from handling them any more in the city. An elderly man reported he was knocked unconscious onto the street near W. 7th Ave. and Grant St.' by a collision with an auto. The victim at first refused assistance upon recovering, and the driver drove away. Neither! the victim nor a taxi-driver and a cab passenger obtained the car license number. Police could be of little help. ABDUCTION There were reports of missing persons. And a Los Angeles mother telephoned police that her 26-ycar-old daughter had been abducted by her lover, The girl had telephoned the mother from Red Bluff, Calif., stating she was his unwilling hostage and they were headed for Eugene by auto. He had forced her to accompany him Tuesday in Pasadena, Calif., the mother said. Larceny of $4 in $1 bills was reported by a resident on Jeffer son St. Before discovery of the theft, a neighbor had observed a strange man in the house which was robbed. She said he had given her a "dirty look," when she looked at him. Police suspect a vagrant. Local police were alerted Thursday by the Oregon State Police for six escapees from Me Laren School at Woodburn. One of them, 17 years old, has escaped 21 times from reformatories in the nation. The usual share of peeping toms cropped up during the night. 'MILITARY' BATTLE And four men engaged in a paired brawl at a drive-in cafe. When a policeman arrived, he noted that two of them were still arguing with the other two but they were otherwise orderly. Evidently, he said, they had fought: "Clothes were torn and the eyes and lips were busted on some of them. He ordered them to take it easy, and overheard a remark that two of the men were going to get a few more friends and go to a bus depot and "even things up" with the other two. One of the fighters was an armed forces serviceman, on his way to catch a bus. The officer headed to the bus station, arriving before the bat tlers. He reported to Chief of Police Ted Brown that he stood by at the send-off, which was ef fected without further incident but which could have gotten out of hand if the police were not on the scene. CIVILIAN BATTLE Another battle took nlaee rlnr. ing the dav. A custodian nf a rirv park notified police that a 13-year-old boy had been badly beaten by a 16-year-old as the re sult of an argument which the older boy started during base ball practice. The younger boy was still crying when police ar rived, with bruises on his mouth, and a large knot on the base of his skull from the beating. The 16-year-old was arrested for dis orderly conduct. During the day there were oth er arrests, for drunk driving, drunk on the street, and other violations. Just another routine day for police.
