A Policeman's Lot Is Not
r
A Happy One-Just Routine
By DON BROWN
Of the Register-Guard
Things were routine at the
Eugene police department Thurs
day.
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

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.

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.
