$2000 Robbery
Portland Bank
Portland. 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."
Each one ended, "You will never
catch me."
The police immediately traced
the typewriter through a defect
in one of the keys and arrested a
21-year-old Dane. The young
student confessed the slaying.
Two days before the murder
he had written a short story for
a Danish weekly magazine fore
telling the entire case. The
story, however, ended in sui
cide instead of arrest.

proposal that the Riksdag
change the Swedish constitu

Attorney S v e n Montelius,
making the proposal, said that
if Sweden became involved in
the war and an heir should be
killed it would be advantageous
if women members would be el
igible to serve as regent. He ap
parently had in mind the "Prin

They are daughters o Prince

A. P. Affidavits
In Trust Suit
New York. 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."

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

Urge Higher
Berry Ceilings
W. J.. 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

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
