Knowland May Be
Entered in Minnesota
St. Paul, Minn. (U.R) Sen.
William Knowland's backers
planned to enter him in Minne
sota's presidential primary to
day, but they may pull him out
again if President Eisenhower
seeks a second term.
It was the third time that
Knowland has been entered in
a Republican presidential pri
mary, even though he is not an
announced candidate for the
GOP nomination.
The Californian is already on
GOP primary ballots in the state
of Illinois and the territory of
Alaska. A victory in Minnesota
March 20 would commit the
state's delegates to Knowland,
but the Illinois vote on April
10 is strictly a "popularity con
test." '. Knowland, the ; Republican
leader in the Senate, has not ask
ed thatkhis name be entered in
any primary races, pending Pres
ident Eisenhower's decision on
whether he will seek a second
term.
Child Employment
Regulation Opposed
Portland (U.R) Fa r m
groups expressed strong opposi
tion to regulation of child em
ployment on hazardous farm
machinery at an open meeting
of the State Wage and Hour
Commission here yesterday.
The meeting was called to ex
plore the hazards of employing
minors on tractors, combines
and similar machinery. It was
voted to set no age limit on such
work. However, the commis
sion suggested further meetings
in other parts of the state and
an educational youth program
on safety in farm occupations.
Mrs. Frederic W. Young, com
mission chairman said the meet
ing was purely for discussion.
She said formal conferences
would be held before the com
mission would act on any rec
ommendations. Employment of children is not
now regulated by the wage and
hour commission.

Biggest Robbery
The case was described by
Anderson as "The Brinks job of
Beverly Hills." It was the big
gest robbery ever reported in the
fashionable residential commu
nity which is next to Hollywood.
Anderson said Teitelbaum ar
ranged the robbery because he
owed $760,000 to fur suppliers.
Teitelbaum currently is in
volved in litigation against
Lloyds of London in connection
with his claim of a $135,000 loss
on Dec. 7, '53, when he said two
men held him up. The insurance
company refused to pay his
claim. Police said Teitelbaum
had reported other fur robberies
in New York, Chicago and Tul
sa, Okla.
Anderson said the key man in
the case was Clifford Weiss, 38,
of Paradise Valley, Nev., a fur
cutter. Weiss confessed his part
in the fake robbery, Anderson
said, and implicated Teitelbaum.
Weiss said Teitelbaum paid him
$2500 for staging the holdup in
which toy guns were used, An
derson said.
