Sutton, Pal
Of Robbery
'New York (UJ! An all-male
Jury which had debated through
out the night filed into the box
at dawn Tuesday' and pro
nounced Willie (the Actor) Sut
ton and his (unman pal, Thomas
(Mad Dog) Kling. guilty of rob
bing a Queens county bank of
$63,942 two years ago. "
The verdict for Sutton meant
little as far as years in the peni
tentiary go. It would add a maxi
mum of 30 years to the 100 or
more he already faces in unex
pired terms on other robbery
charges. .
Defendants Told To Rise'
As the jury filled the box, the
defendants were told to rise and
face the standing men. Jury
foreman Donald Maloney, a
landscape architect, pronounced
the verdict: "Sutton and 'Kling
guilty as charged."
That meant the jury had de
cided . both defendants . were
guilty on four counts. The maxi
mum penalty . with sentences
running concurrently on all four
counts would be 30 years. How
ever, that could be doubled if
the state, prior to sentencing,
files an information with the
court proving the defendants
are multiple felony offenders.
Tipster Slain
Sutton was arrested Feb. 18
when the alertness of a 24-year-old
clothing salesman led police
to him. Nineteen days later, the
salesman, Arnold Schuster, was
shot dead a few doors from his
home. Threatening letters to his
family and the man who found
his body caused a reign of terror
In the neighborhood. -
Because of that fear, and be
cause slippery Willie had es
caped from three prisons during
his 30-year crime career, . the
Queens county court house was
under the heaviest guard in its
history during the trial. .;
Ferry System Stops
Collection of Tax
Olympia U.R Most Puget
Sound ferry users were paying
15 per cent less for crossing the
sound Tuesday after the State
Toll Bridge authority stopped
collecting the federal govern
ment's 15 per cent transporta
tion tax.
In past years the transportation
tax on Puget Sound ferry traffic
has amounted to between $250,-
000 and $300,000 a year. This tax
and the three per cent tax on
automobiles and freight trans
ported by ferries were discon
tinued last midnight.
The state's action was expect
ed to lead to a court, test over
whether the federal government
can extend its transportation tax
to the state-owned ferry system.

For Blinded Bomber Pilot
Tokyo (U.R) The navy has)
told how a wounded pilot from
the carrier Valley Forge insisted
on landing his Sky raider dive-
bomber on an emergency land
ing field, although blinded by
his own .blood.
The pilot, Ensign Kenneth A.
Schechter, was flying a mission
over North Korea recently when
enemy ground fire tore the can
opy off his plane and pulled
skin from his face.
"I'm Dlind," he called into his
radio, "someone tell me where I
am."
Lt. (jg) Howard Thayer, a fel
low pilot on the same flight,
spotted Schechter's plane.
"If you're the one, wiggle
your wings," Thayer said
through his microphone. Schech
ter wiggled his wings.
Then Thayer began giving or

ing him to jettison his bomb
load. Then he turned him to-

Hunted in Portland
Portland (U.R) Police inten

or more firebugs after blazes
were touched off in seven more
automobiles in a little more than
an hour Monday night.
It brought to 12 the number
of cars that have been set afire
on the west side here in a little
over a week, police said. Monday
night's blazes gutted four cars
and caused extensive damage to
front seat qf three others.
Each fire apparently started
m the driver s seat or on me
floor under the dash. Cars in
each case probably had been left
unlocked, firemen said.
The cuckoo, which places its
eggs in the nests of other and
smaller birds, does it through
necessity. The largest of the in
sectivorous birds, it requires a
large quantity of food, keeping
it constantly on the search. If it
sat on its eggs, it could not ob
tain the food; if it left its eggs,
they would become chilled.
