Inmate Escapes
From State Hospital
Salem, Ore., June 15 (U.R)
State police and state hospital of
ficials said they had no idea
where 38-year-old Vernon Pol
lock was today. The patient es
caped last night from the hospital
after he sawed his way through
a wire window screen mesh in
a work ward.
The state hospital reported
that Pollock was without "men
tal disorder" and therefore pre
sumed not dangerous. They said
he served two terms in the Wash
ington state prison at Walla
Walla for armed robbery and
that he was an inmate here for
alcoholism treatment.
Two areas that the escapee
might head for were believed to
be Provo, Utah, where he attend
ed school, and Clackamas county,
Oregon, where he was committed
to the state hospital in 1944.

Japanese Reds File
Government Lawsuit
Tokyo, Japan, June 16 (U.R)
The Japanese communist party
filed suit today against Premier
Shigeru Yoshida's government
demanding that the purge of 41
top communist leaders be re
voked on grounds it was uncon
stitutional and violated the Pots
dam agreement.
The Tokyo district court at
first rejected the suit on the tech
nicality that the form was in
correct and that it was filed
without sufficient copies. Later
in the day, however, the court
accepted the suit when revisions
were made.
The attorney general's office
immediately predicted the suit
would be thrown out on grounds
that Japanese courts did not
have authority to judge direc
tives from Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur. Although MacArthur was not
mentioned in the suit, legal ex
perts said in effect it asked the
court to overrule his edict pudg
ing the communists.

Los Angeles Claims
Los Angeles, June 16 (U.R)
Los Angeles claimed today that
the census bureau didn't do
enough nose-counting in this
sprawling metropolis.
Census bureau director Roy
V. Peel told the chamber of com
merce yesterday that Loi An
geles has 1,954,036 residents.
Mayor Fletcher Bowron quick
ly charged the figure should be
at least seven per cent greater.
"We've been telling the world
for some time that Los Angeles
has more tha,n 2 million people,"
Bowron said. "We're going to
shake the bushes and scare at
least 60,000 out."
Nevertheless, the city's dream
of passing Philadelphia as the
third largest in the country ap
parently will have to wait an
other 10 years.
Chain stores in the United
States spent more than $458,
000,000 in 1949 for store con
struction and modernization.
