Holdup Thought Joke;
Would-Be Thugs Flee
Portland, Ore., Mar. 9 (U.R)
Douglas R. Gerow, president of
the East Side Commercial club,
thought it was a gag last night
when two men attempted to hold
him up at his home.
The pair rang Gerow's door
bell and when he opened the
dnor one pulled a gun and said,
"This is a holdup."
"I thought it was a gag and
that the gun was a toy," Gerow
said today.
Gerow grabbed at the gun.
a .43 automatic, which fired
twice without hitting anyone. Fi
nally, Gerow was struck on the
left temple, apparently with the
gun butt. '
the would-be holdup men fled
in an automobile.
Free Food Program
Of Government Seen
As Expensive Chore
Washington, Mar. 9 (U.R)
The government's expanding
food give-away program has be
come a multi-million dollar op
eration. The agriculture department
laid today that up to now it
has arranged to give away for
distribution to needy Amer
icans in 47 states surplus foods
which cost it more than $3 mil
lion under price support pro
grams. The foods given away so far
re:
Dried eggs 1.173,200 pounds
(equivalent of 43,000,000 shell
eggs), which cost the govern
ment about $1,600,000.
Dried milk 2,747.980 pounds,
equivalent of 11,000,000 quarts
of skim milk when reconstitut
ed with water. This cost the gov
ernment about $340,000.
Potatoes 34,804,650 pounds,
which cost about $1,300,000.
Can'i Be Measured
The potato give-away can't be
measured in dollars and cents,
aince the spuds might have been
"dumped" if they weren't given
away. Furthermore, the govern
ment wouldn't expect to get
back it's full cost for milk and
eggs, even if it could find a for
eign market for these items.
This stockpile of food has
been, or will be, distributed in
every state of the Union except
Arizona. It represents only a
small fraction of the stocks of
these foods which the govern
ment is holding under price sup
port programs.
New orders far the three free
foods are pouring in daily from
welfare agencies. Officials said
Arizona is the only state from
which no orders have been re
ceived. Food Is Free
The food is free at storage
points to public and private wel
fare agencies, including the bu
reau of Indian affairs and the
national school lunch Dram am.
These agencies must pay trans
portation charges.
Illinois tops the list of the 47
states from which orders have
been received. Illinois is the onlv
state which has set up a state
wide system for distributing the
Mystery Of Open Door
Solved By Porilanders
Portland. Ore., Mar. 9 (U.R)
Dr. and Mrs. Richard M. Steiner
of Portland think they have the
solution of the mystery of the
open front door.
One of the family's pet Siam
ese cats learned to open the door
by jumping up on the door, grab
bing the curved loop of the brass
handle with one paw and de
pressing the latch with the oth
er. As the door would swing
open, the cat would drop back
to the ground.
free foods to relief families, of
ficials said.
A dozen other states are han
dling distribution for needy
families on a spot basis for lo
cal areas In distress. In many
other states the foods are being
taken by county welfare agen-
i-ie.f hiiu iiiMiiuuuns. out are not
being distributed directly to re
lief families for home use.
As a result of its state-wide
distribution program, Illinois ac
counts lor about one-third of all
the dried milk and almost one-
half of all the dried eggs for
which the department has re
ceived orders.
Illinois has ordered 960.000
pounds of dried milk and 480,
000 pounds of dried eggs. Offi
cials said they understand this
initial order is expected to fill
Illinois' relief needs for three
months.
Other states and their orders,
which already have been deliv
ered or will be 'shipped this
week, include:
California 25,200 pounds of
eggs, 2,998,000 pounds of pota
toes. Oregon 93,300 pounds of po
tatoes. Washington 449.900 pounds
of potatoes, 51,725 pounds of
milk.

Radium Needles
Taken By Children
Ottawa, Mar. 9 (U.R) The
thieves who took 20 radium-
filled needles from a storage
shed of the National Research
council were neighborhood chil
dren, authorities said today in
revealing that five had been re
covered. The five needles were found
late last night in and near homes
in the area by council scientists
and police using geiger counters.
They made a house-to-house
search to prevent what officials
feared might become "a major
disaster" from radium burns.
Dr. Jacob Kastner, physicist
in charge of the council's radium
calibration, said he hoped the
other needles would be found to
day after questioning of the
youngsters who had the five
needles recovered. The children
had no Idea of the value or dan
ger of the needles.
Police said no charges would
be made against any of the chil
dren. They said the youngsters
j Loophole Found In
Mexico Divorce Laws
Mexico City, Mar. 9 U.R)
The Ingrid Bergman variety of
mail-order divorce was banned
in Mexico today by a supreme
court ruling, but attorneys hap
pily noted a loophole for short
term residence decrees.
The court ruled yesterday
that Mexican judges can divorce
only legal residents of the city
or state under their jurisdiction.
The decision could put out of
business the mail-order courts
that divorce thousands of for
eigners annually.
But divorce lawyers said there
was nothing to stop cities which
prosper from divorce mills from
cutting residence requirements
down to a few days. Thus, for
eigners could get a decree near
ly as quickly as before by mak
ing a short trip to Mexico.
