Johnson Ponders Plea
On Charge of Driving
"Count" Bandit's Car
Lloyd Chester Johnson, said
by authorities to have been the
driver of the auto used by
Thomas Milton Smith, "the 150
count" bandit, under a ten-year
sentence for assault with a dead
ly weapon with intent to com
mit robbery, was undecided to
day, following a conference with
the district attorney, what plea
he would enter. Attorney Otto
J. Frohnmayer was appointed by
the court to defend him.
Johnson claims that while
driving the auto, he did not
know what Smith was doing dur
ing his absences.
Smith, who robbed the Grover
Dairy and service stations here,
compelled his victims to lay
down on the floor and count 150,
before spreading the alarm.
Smith was sentenced late last
Friday to serve a term not to ex
ceed ten years in state prison. He
is held in the county Jail pend
ing removal to the penitentiary.
F,
LARGEST IN U. S.
Washington U.R) The aver
age size of families is larger
in the rural areas of the United
States than in the cities, accord
ing to the 1940 census.
The average size of families,
as shown by the 1940 census,
both city and country, was 3.8
persons. The average family in
rural areas was 4.0, while in
cities it was 3 6. The general
average of 3.8 persons per fam
ily was approximately one-third
of a person less than in 1930.
Every census has shown a
constantly decreasing average
size per family.
Size of families varies in the
various sections of the country.
City families in New England
and the south Atlantic states
equelled the national average of
3.8. City families in the Pacific
states were small 3.1.
In the rural territory in the
south Atlantic states the average
size of families was as high as
4.4. The average size of. rural
families in the Pacific states
was 3.5.

made If someone was pressing
the alarm button. A heavy board
was placed in front of the horn
before it could be quieted.

CORCORAN DENIES
RECEIVING FEE IN
DEFENSEJFFORTS
Former White House Advisor
Witness Before Probe
In Contract Soliciting.
Washington, Dec. 16. (IP)
Thomas G. Corcoran, former
White House advisor, testified
today to one congressional com
mittee that he had "never re
ceived a fee" for soliciting de
fense contracts while Leon K.
Shanack, one-time sports pro
moter, acknowledged clearing a
$52,000 profit in 10 months
handling sub-contracts for $262,
000 worth of orders.
Corcoran told senate Investi
gators he had "never received
a fee and I have no arrange
ments for receiving fees in the
future, on percentage or-other-wles,
for contract brokerage or
for any other form of soliciting
defense contracts."
Shanack testified before a
house military subcommittee,
saying his expenses and taxes
totalled about $253,000, leaving
an apparent profit of $9,000,
but added the expense Items
included "drawings" of $43,000.
Under questioning he said the
"drawings" were "not profits
but for the work we've done
dad and myself."
"So you admit to a profit of
over $50,000 In 10 months?"
Inquired Ralph Burton, commit
tee Investigator.
"Yes, sure," replied Shanack.
"A lot of people have made a lot
more than that." At another
point he said he did not know
anybody who worked for noth
ing, and added: "I won't."
During the examination Chair
man Faddis (D Pa.) commented:
"So this was your contribution
to national defense in time of
emergency."
"I resent that." snapped the
dapper New Yorker, slapping
down on the committee table his
application for enlistment in the
marines, which he said had been
denied because he was 37 years
old.
He conceded that his bank bal
ance was $1.25 on Nov. 28, 1940.
and over $74,000 on Dec. 1, 1941.
Shanack, London-born New
Yorker, Insisted that he was "for
tunate enough to do the Job and
do It right," adding that "had
there been a kick-back in rejec
tions, there would have been a
tremendous loss." He acknowl
edged his profit was made with
out an Initial Investment of cap
ital. He contended in a statement
that he obtained defense work on
a price-competitive basis.

when he forgot to tell the barber
not to shave off his moustache.
Hicks was a member of a
handlebar club formed by 14
soldiers of division headquar

first man to doff his moustache
would buy the club two cases
of beer. No one gave In a hair

Government Approves Beauty
Aids as Builders of Morale
Bt Nell B urkhardt
United Press Staff Correspondent
Hollywood U.R) Ladies, you don't have to worry anymore
about war and the national defense program interfering with
your beauty, because the experts now claim that cosmetics are
essential to a nation's civilian morale.
According to some of Holly
wood's top-ranking cold cream
and lipstick experts, the govern
ment has done an about-face in
its heretofore "anti-cosmetics"
stand and has now decided they
are definitely an important part
of the American way of living,
war or no war.
Make-up creator Max Factor,
Jr., who has spent a good many
years making movie queens and
dime-store girls look glamorous,
says that American women need
have no fear that either their
own faces or those of their fa
vorite screen stars will be less
beautiful because of the na
tional emergency.
Factor recently returned from
i a trip to Washington, D. C,
where, he says, government of
ficials informally stated that the
great morale value of cinema
make-up has been taken into
consideration and the same at
titude holds in the matter of
cosmetics for women In general.
He predicts that Hollywood
will always have sufficient
greasepaint to maintain its No. 1
glamour rating and American
women will not have to do
without any type of cosmetic
throughout the present emer
gency. SINGING SOLDIERS
Berlin (IP) A troubadour to
day takes recorded messages
from wounded German soldiers
to their families instead of sing
ing himself, according to the
Pariser Zeitung. The man who
goes from hospital to convales
cent home is a former World
war soldier. He carries a record
ing machine into which the sol
diers can speak or sing greet,
ings to the folks back home.
SOUNDS LIKE JUNK
Oklahoma City (IP) A cer

striking of an anvil In Wagner's
Die Walkure. The Oklahoma
State Symphony society couldn't

program. So members searched
the Junk yards and found a
sounding piece that reproduced
exactly the music needed for
"The Entry of the Gods."
