Just as Life Magazine photographer Hank Walker took this picture a flight of B-26 bombers came over and rocketed the tanks, scoring the first hit on one at extreme right which is beginning to burn. (AP Wirephoto from Life Magazine) Make Sure Toys Under Tree Are f or Children and Not You By JOHN B. KNOX Boston, Dec. 20 (P) Think hard. Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus! Make sure those toys you put under the Christmas tree are for your youngsters and not for you. "Adults generally purchase toys for children a vear to three years in advance of the time they should have them," says Boston university proiessor oi education James A. Wylie. A toy given too soon can spoil a child's interest in it, or his enjoyment of it when he's physically or mentally ready for it later. Take roller skates, he says. "If junior is too young, he may have a lot of bad spills, falls which will make him turn to something else. Games that re quire a degree of co-operation will end in a series of quarrels and cries of cheating. "Adults choose certain toys partly because they appeal to them, partly because they have trouble remembering their own childhood especially earlier than the age of five. What they think they remember is often what someone else had told them afterward," the professor soys. He says children's gifts should be chosen for development of interest. President Truman Praises FBI Chief Washington, Dec. 20 () President Truman says he has always thought well of J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the federal bu reau of investigation. That was the president's an swer to a news conference ques tions yesterday about a recent book by Max Lowenthal which criticized some of the FBI's activities. Because Lowenthal was once closely associated with Mr. Tru man, the publication of the book gave fresh impetus to reports that the president was cool to ward the FBI chief. Here are some other sugges tions (Dr. Wylie cautions to re member the interest angle and individual variation): Age 6 and up to 10 or 11, will find a strong interest in various types of building blocks, some interlocking for complex struc tures, some huge-like bricks, or larger, for making (roofless) houses, doors, they can enter. Towards 8, roller skates. Towards 10 and later con struction sets (highly creative), good enough not to limit ability and interest. Age 8 and thereafter, games like checkers, parchesi, baseball and games resembling darts, but with safe non-sharp throwing equipment. Scoring boards should have low numbers, easy to add. From on, boys will like baseball, basketball equipment. Girls will continue interest in duplicates of mothers household equipment, vacuum cleaners, dish washers and outdoor games, softball, croquet, harmless arch ery (boys too). By 10 or 11, girls will develop interest in music or may want to own a phonograph, choose their own records. Boys in the country may like fishing equipment by 11 or 12. Others of the same age may like photography, developing and printing. Shanley Draws 15-Year Term Dallas Vincent F. Shanley, who, shortly after being released from the Oregon state peniten tiary on parole, held up and ter rorized Mr. and Mrs. Earl Cor der and son, Larry, in Indepen dence on November 30, was sen tenced to 15 years in the state penitentiary Tuesday by Judge Arlie G. Walker in circuit court. The formal charge was armed robbery. Shanley waived grand jury indictment and pleaded guilty to the charge. The 15-year sentence will run concurrently with an 18-month sentence in Marion county pro nounced by Judge George R- Duncan December 8. In that case the charge was carrying concealed weapon, the weapon being a Luger automatic that he had taken from the Corders "Swap and Shop" store to use in a taxicab holdup in Salem.

He had served 22 months of a 5- year Multnomah county sentence on a check charge.

The Corders are formerly of Dallas, having moved their store to . Independence from here.
