New Crime Series Cleared,
Three More Youths Arrested
By DOUGLAS THOMAS
A new series of crimes was cleared and three more youths
arrested Tuesday as detectives continued questioning a pair of
18-year-old youths who Were arrested for burglary Monday.
The new names added to the list were Melvin K. Maas, 3835
Midway, and Jess C. Carr, 515 South 21st. Maas was held for
-iuto theft while Carr was held
for burglary. The third was a
juvenile.
The first arrests came early
Monday morning when an alert
officer nabbed two suspects who
fit a description of youths spot
ted in an attempt to burglarize
a Lancaster drive service sta
tion. The pair was taken before dis
trict court Tuesday morning.
William Stain, route 2, and Eu
gene McFadden, North Salem
motel, were ordered heid for
grand jury action on burglary
charges.
Before they were taken to
court, however, completed state
ments gave police clues to a
series of crimes ranging from
Portland to Salem. They had
admitted five separate crimes in
Salenrand the surrounding area
after they were first arrested
Monday.
New to the list was the burg
lary of a Portland grocery, the
burglary of a Montavilla, Ore.,
grocery, the burglary of Auburn
school, an attempt to break into
a store at Market and Park in
Salem, the burglary of a store
some two miles out of West
Salem on Wallace road, two sep
arate car thefts and a half dozen
cases of prowling parked cars
for valuables and the theft of
a bicycle.
As the members of the juve
nile gang unfolded their story,
they began to implicate others.
Whether the arrest of Maas and
Carr and the juvenile would con
clude the case could not be de
termined, but it was evident
from police reports that the
youths arrested Tuesday had
been nabbed as a result of con
fessions by Stain and McFadden.
Upon several occasions, evi
dence indicated, the youths, in
pairs or greater numbers, skip
ped school to go on trips usually
ending in burglaries or thefts.
The arrests came as police
sought to stamp out a wave of
car prowling and burglaries in
Salem.
Usually the recent crimes have
been attributed to juveniles.

Jaycees Hear
Dick Schmidt
An explanation of the Hoover
commission recommendations
for Improved veterans adminis
tration services was given Tues
day to members of the Salem
Junior Chamber of Commerce
by Dick Schmidt.
Schmidt pointed out that vet
erans groups, which had fought
for benefits ever since World
War I were reluctant to see any
change in the VA in the belief
that any change might be for the
worse.
He explained, however, that
proposal of the Hoover commis
sion for reform in the VA did
not curtail services. He said the
recommendations would gener
ally lead to improved services to
veterans and their beneficiaries
in hospital and insurance pro
grams. The Hoover commission rec
ommendations were aimed at

Radio Hams Get Melons
For Boy with Fatal Disease
Portland, March 14 VP) A little boy ale watermelon for break
fast todav and there's plenty more when he wants it.
He is suffering from leukemia, that fatal disease whose dehy
drating effect creates a craving for watermelon. But since tnis
isn't watermelon season, getting it is a problem.
Last night the boy's fathe.;
took his problem to members of
the Oregon emergency net of
amateur radio operators. With
in 12 hours the boy was eating
watermelon flown here from
San Francisco and a supply in
Houston, Texas, will be sent on
request.
Because the boy, 7 years old,
doesn't know what is the matter
with him, his doctor has asked
that his name be withheld. He
thinks knowing would make him
worse. Right now he is able
to go to school much of the time.
But he didn't go today he
was busy eating watermelon.
He'd fill up, his mother said,
then after a bit get another
piece.
"He was thrilled to death,"
his father said.
The appeal for watermelon
was sent out last night by Eldin
Guthrie of W7LLI and Willis
L. Campbell of W7ADH, Port
land radio amateurs George F,
Conner, W7JRUN Klamath Falls,
picked it up and relayed Guth
rie's message to California. A
San Francisco operator went to
work by telephone, located a
firm (Levy & Zentner) that had
just received a shipment of mel
ons. He got one on a northbound
plane and Guthrie delivered it
early this morning.
Meanwhile Campbell talked
with a Texas operator who alert
ed the Texas emergency net
work. A shipment was located
in Houston and the word came
back that almost any number of
melons could be sent.
"It's just wonderful," the boy's
mother said.

be wanted for a bad check.
