Ore., June 21 (U.R) A robber who threatened a bank teller with a small black box "that might blow everybody up," today obtained about $2,000 from the Stark street branch of the First National bank here. The robber, about 25 years old, handed a note to Special Teller Stanley Chllds. "This is a holdup. Act quick ly, hand over the money," the note read. When Childs hesitated, the robber opened a box and ex hibited what appeared to be small rolls of dynamite. "If you don't hand over the money I'll pull the switch and blow everybody in the bank up," the robber threatened. "Hand me 20s first, then 10s." Childs complied. "You can do anything you like," the robber said as he fled with the loot. "If police pick me up I'll still pull the switch on my box and blow everybody up." Foretells Wrong End For His Own Story Stockholm (A Soon after a comely young woman was found choked to death, Copenhagen police began to receive letters about the case signed "Henry."

June'21 W The Associated Press prepared to file in federal court today more than half a hundred affidavits in opposition to a government motion for summary judgment in the anti-trust civil action against the non profit, coopera tive newsgathcring agency. Other affidavits also were to be placed in the record by the Chicago Tribune, a co-defendant which has made a separate an swer to the government charges seeking to open AP membership to all who are willing and able to pay their share of the cost. Arguments on the summary judgment motion, by which the government seeks a decision against the AP without the tak ing of testimony from witnesses in open court trial, are sched uled to be heard by a three judge federal court July 8. Chief among the AP affi davits was one prepared by Frank B. Noyes, publisher of the Washington Star and pres ident of the AP for 38 years until 1938, who declared that "it was not contemplated by the men who organized the AP that all newspapers in the United States should become members" but that it was organized that in order to establish "a true co operative organization, the members must have the oppor tunity to select their own asso ciates." Based uon my experiences of 50 years with the press asso ciations and as a newspaper man," Noyes said, "it is my judgment that it is not possible to maintain an unbiased, com plete and accurate news report unless there exists, to set the standard a report, a mutual co operative non-profit organiza tion whose members, voluntar ily joined together, control the operations of the organization. "Only in this way can the bias of particular individuals and political parties be prevent ed from influencing the news, Experience both in this country and abroad has demonstrated this to be the fact." First Bing Cherries Unhurt by Rain First of the Bing cherries re ceived for the season by Wil lamette cherry growers Friday night showed no rain damage at all, reported Robert Shlnn. manager of the association, and he figured Saturday that very little damage has been done. He says he expected some more de liveries Saturday night and that by the middle of next week they would start to come in in a pretty good flow for their bar reling operations. A report from The Dalles said that rain which fell there Thursday and a share of Fri day did some damage, possibly five per cent in some of the best cherry areas but that several carloads have been shipped out of there this week none of them showing any appreciable results from the rain. Main damage was 1o Bings and Lamberts. It is estimated there are 4000 acres of cherries within a 15 mile radius of The Dalles and the rain fell on the entire area.

Linfoot, secretary of the Oregon Cane Fruits Control board, has received a telegram from Representative Harrison Ellsworth, southern Oregon congressman, staling he has taken up with OPA and food administration officials the plea of the growers for a higher ber- ry price and has been advised by the OPA that the order set ting ceiling prices to growers has been prepared and will be released as soon as it is cleared through the proper authorities. The wire said that the officials would neither confirm nor deny the prices tentatively set out here by regional officials and which have been made public as possible prices. None of them meets the approval of cither growers or canners, it is stated here. A letter also came from Rep resentative James Mott in which he stated he has submitted the data to the proper officials and urged that ceilings be establish ed sufficiently high to meet pro duction costs to the grower and at the same time give him tha margin to stay in business. He said some of the officials couldn't see the importance of this latter phase and as a result he said he wouldn't be surprised to see them grant a subsidy to the growers to meet their loss es, although he considers this an unsound practice. He said he looked for an in vestigation of the OPA and its practices soon. Woodsman, Spare That Robin's Nest Fort Atkinson, Wis. VP) Gas and Electric company service men "topped" a big tree in front of the Dr. C. W. Umland resi dence. In the top of that tree was a robin's nest and in that robin's nest were two little ro bins. Did the workmen top the tree and destroy the nest and the little birds? They did not. They took that nest out of the top of that large tree and placed it in a smaller tree, tied it se curely on a limb and waited. You guessed it. The mother bird found the new location of her nest and began feeding the young as though nothing had happened.
