20 Santa Claus
Night Prowlers
A warning was sounded to
day that night prowlers are ex
pected on the streets of Salem,
However, they will be the
kind of prowlers you like. They
will, in fact, be Santa Clauses.
There will be 20 of them every
. Friday night from now until
Christmas three Fridays.
Each of the 20 Santas will rep
resent a Salem store. And, oh
yes! The Santas won't be fat old
gentlemen with white whiskers
and red jackets. They will be in
plain clothes. It's your job to
pick 'em out. If you tag 'em it
pays off. Here's how:
; The 20 Santas will be on the
streets, in the crowd. Just mill
ing around. Do you spot a guy
you think " maybe is a Santa
Claus? You walk or run up to
him, tap him on the shoulder
and say:
"Tag. You're Santa Claus."
And if he is, he will answer
about thusly:
' "You're right. Yep, I'm Santa.
I'm Santa Claus for so-and-so's
store. Come along. We'll get
your prize."
Each of the 20 stores having
a Santa on thestreets will post
a prize valued at $12 or $15 for
the first person tagging its San
ta. It is hinted that some prizes
may be worth as much as $40.
Anyway upwards of $300
worth of prizes will be offered
each Friday night. If you think
you're a good detective you can
collect. You might really tag
several Santa Clauses in one eve
ning. Beach 'One Swell

Hot Exchange
In Bridges Trial
San Francisco, Dec. 7 W)
An angry government witness
in the Harry Bridges perjury
trial shouted today that the de
fense attorney ought to be "be
hind bars" and the court imme
diately ordered a recess to
"clear the atmosphere."
The hot exchange was between
Defense Attorney James Macin
nis and Harry Schrimpf, govern
ment witness and admitted ex-communist.
Schrimpf, on the stand for the
fourth day, was being question
ed about the disappearance in
1937 of John Hogan, a popular
waterfront dispatcher.
The witness told about search
ing for Hogan and Macinnis
asked:
"Didn't you at that time. ac
cuse Henry Schmidt, a co-defendant
with Bridges, of the
murder of John Hogan?"
"That's a dirty lie," Schrimpf
shouted. "It's too bad you're not
under oath making some of these
statements.
"And why is that?" asked the
attorney very quietly.
"Because you'd be behind
bars, that's why. You'd be where
you belong,'' the red-faced
waterfront walking boss shout
ed. At this point Federal Judge
George Harris promptly order
ed a recess to "clear the atmos
phere." Four Rescued, from

Money Policy
Hits Insurance
Washington, Dec. 7 VP) The
president of America's largest
life insurance company said to
day "The easy money policy of
recent years" has cut down the
earning power of policyholders
savings.
Leroy A. Lincoln, head of the
huge Metropolitan Life Insur
ance company of New York, call
ed on the government to "foster
an economic climate" in which
private business can operate with
confidence. He urged that taxes
be cut and government spending
reduced.
Lincoln gave his views to the
senate-house economic commit
tee which is investigating the
reasons behind the reported lack
of risk capital for small business
in the United States.
Chairman O'Mahoney (D.,
Wyo.) said he wanted to learn
"What yardstick the companies
use in investing the savings of
the American people'
Lincoln denied that insurance
companies can be blamed for any
lack of equity capital. If there
is sucn a snortage, ne said, tnen
it is the result of "the lackeof
incentives for investments in
common stocks on the part of the
general public."
Lincoln said the insurance
companies can't be blamed for
the "easy money" policy.
"It is the interplay of many
factors which determines inter
est rates," he added.

Resume UN Talks
New York, Dec. 7 (JP) The six
atomic powers in the United Na
tions agreed today to resume se
cret talks at Lake Success on
Dec. 15, an informed source re
ported today.
The UN assembly asked the
United States, Britain, France,
China, the Soviet Union and
Canada to continue their talks
in an attempt to find a basis of
agreement. It is expected the six
countries will meet weekly, the
schedule they followed before
the assembly acted on the atomic
question.
hippo, who was fascinatingly
ugly, was found dead beside his
pool yesterday.
Pepsi, who weighed 50 pounds
when he was born July 22, be
came the zoo's top attraction as
soon as he went on display in
August.
The hippo probably died of
indigestion, although he was in
fine shape Monday, Mclnnis
said. "
