Gun Battle Leads
To Arrest of Two
Empire, Ore., Men
The Dalles (U.R) A run
ning gun battle with The Dalles
police led to the arrest and cap
ture of two Empire, Ore., men
on charges of assault with a
deadly weapon with intent to
kill Saturday.
Police identified the pair as
Ernest Ieroy Smith, 19, and Ce
cil Roger Oakes, 21.
The Dalles Police Lt. Robert
Brower sajd he noticed the men
in a car moving slowly through
a downtown street and pulled
along side them In a patrol car
to investigate. He said Smith
opened fire with a P-38 German
pistol, pumping five shots at the
police vehicle. Brower returned
the fire and gave chase.
Crash off Road
At the east edje of town, the
Empire men crashed off the road
and ran into the brush. City pa
trolman Roy Ford who was with
Brower went up the highway on
foot, posing as a hitchhiker. He
took Smith into custody a short
time later when he came out of
the brujsh onto the highway.
City police and state officers,
meantime, chased Oakes into the
railroad yard at the city limits
and captured him.
Policertjaid the men were driv
ing a 1M9 Buick convertible
which was reported stolen in
Portland Friday. It was regis
tered to Catherine Klotzbeacher
of Portland.
Smith told police he had stol
en the gun from a man at Em-
pore.
In the running gun battle, the
police car's tires were shot out
and the rear of the other car
was hit.
suck her thumb; not yet, any
way. She certainly does not suck
all her fingers, as some monster
suggested.
Has she any likes and dis
likes? Yes, she hates hats. If I wear
one near her, she has one of her
very irate crying spells.
She also has a prejudice
against her father's camera.
When he wants to photograph
her, which is often, he must do
it surreptitiously.
Coos for Baths
On the other hand she loves
her bath, and begins to coo when
she sees nurse Margaret Stahl or
me preparing it.
Apart from hats and cameras,
she only cries when she is hun
gry and waiting for her feed.
She sleeps wonderfully all night
from about 9:30, after her last
evening meal, until her "break
fast at six.
She is fed six times a day at
three-hour intervals. Apart from
the natural milk I am happy to
be able to give her, she has a
little supplementary powdered
milk, being a healthy and hun
gry child, thank God.
Aa she gets older she is o',2
weeks this week end I think
she looks more and more like
the Prince, particularly the up
per part of her face.
She hag dark blue eyes, like
Rainier, much darker than mine,
and his broad forehead. Her
mouth is said to be like mine.
She has a lovely complexion, ab
solutely without blemish, and
light brown hair.
Receives Many Toys
And they say she is a very
pretty child, but how should I
know?
Even our Monaco weather is
not good enough for her to have
a daily outing in the grounds;
but often the sun is warm
enough for Margaret Stahl or
myself to take her for a ride in
the lovely pram, with its dark
blue hood, which Princess Char
lotte, Rainier's mother, seat her
from Paris.
Many many gifts are coming
in. and we still get .200 to 400
letters a day. On the second day
after the birth it was 7,000. Of
course, we can only answer
them bit by bit.
Many Dolls
Toys and dolls? Well, there
are so many they can't possibly
all go in the nursery at one time.
The biggest is an enormous ted
dy bear, sent her by the offi
cers and men of an American
submarine stationed in the har
bor when she was born. It will
scarcely go in the door.
Finally, I'll tell you the reason
why both the Prince and I really
wanted our first child to be a
girl.
If we have a boy later on he
will become the heir to the prin
cipality; but he will never be
more important or dearer to us
than the present heir, our first
born, Caroline.
The years 1930-1940 saw ro
mance skid to a new low in the
U.S.A. And when boy did dare
to meet girl in ways that led to
marriage the growing of a family
was often postponed for better
days. There were fewer Ameri
can babies born in that period
than in any ten years since
1850-1860 when an economic
depression had also clouded the
country. The 1930s saw many
young couples building "apart
ment cottages." with one bed
room and at -times making
homes out of garages. Four-room
homes were featured on "low
cost" housing projects.
Births boomed again in the
war years. The minimum house
for newlyweds was the five
roomer. Then "three bedrooms"
became a common specification
laid down by the budding home
makers of the post-war years,
while the young marrieds of the
1940-1950 decade began to pack
two, three and four little people
into the single bedroom of their
small home of the 1930s.
Now the war and post-war
babies are big boys and girls.
They demand more rooms one
apiece.
"Big. Old Houses . . ."
The editors of "The American
Legion Magazine" have been
awake to the need of a growing
home for the growing family of
it relates to the veterans of
World War II. A couple of years
ago, the magazine carried an in
formative article on "expand
ing" the homes bought by vet
erans of World War II.
A later issue of the Legion's
magazine contained an equally
valuable report on "When Is an
Old House a Bargain?"
The author, Robert Scharff,
put it this way:
"After World War II thou
sands of ex-GIs bought new
minimum houses . . . Several
children later, these same dream
homes offer a serious space

BIG BANG IN CHICAGO
Chicago (U.R) Chicago
celebrated its 120th birthday to
day with a bang. A composite
battery from the 33rd division
artillery. Illinois National Guard
fired a 120-gun salute.
Mrs. D. B. I won't be driven
away by bigoted neighbors.
Mr. D. B. I don't want to
make martyrs of the children.
Mrs. D. B. My husband and
I have two children, aged 9 and
7. We bought a house in a nice
suburban section a few years
ago and have been quite com
fortable until recently.
Not long ago my 9-year-old
boy brought home from school
a little friend of a different race.
This boy was a lovely child and
I was glad to entertain him In
my home. The following day,
however, one of the women in
the neighborhood called on me
and said she had heard about
my child palling around with
this boy and told me I should
put a stop to it. She said it was
the responsibility of each par
ent to see to it that the chil
dren do not cross racial lines
socially in an area as racially
mixed as ours.
I called her the bigot that she
is and told her I would enter
tain any nice child in my home,
regardless of race. Since then
I've discovered that a kind of
boycott against me and the chil
dren has developed in the neigh
borhood. My husband has been
so upset about it that he even
wants to move away. I feel that
would be cowardly. I won't be
driven away by bigoted neigh
bors. Mr. D. B. Bigotry has always
been as disgusting to me as it

is to my wife, but I don't feel
that I want to make martyrs
of my children in this cause.
Our son has suffered a great
deal from the fact that some
of his old friends have shunned
him and called him names. I
am afraid of more serious
trouble. I want my children to
stand up for what is right, but
I would hate to see them get
hurt because we have different
ideas from those of our neighbors.
I would hate to sell our home
since I am sure we can't do
nearly as well from an economic
point of view in a different
neighborhood. Also, this house
is within very convenient dis
tance of my office. Besides, it
makes me sick to have to
knuckle under to people with
these un-American attitudes.
Just the same, we have to think
of the children. We are putting
them through a terrible experi
ence. I feel that my wife was a bit
too violent in her language to
ward the woman who visited
her. True, this woman had a lot
of nerve, but there was no sense
in exciting her any more than
necessary.
The Council Mr. D. B. is
probably on the right track
when he feels that his wife was
in some measure responsible for
creating an acute situation. She
probably poured gasoline on a
small flame with her violent
language. This bigoted woman
may possibly have been toned
down a bit by gentle handling
and a quietly firm stand.
Mrs. D. B. could have simply
stated she disagreed with her
neighbor, and pointed out that
her child's friend was such a
fine boy she could hardly find
it In her-conscience to bar him
from her home. Calling names
didn't help.
It is also possible that the
D. B.'s are exaggerating the
"boycott" in their neighborhood.
It is unlikely that the bigoted
troublemaker has such an over
whelming influence. They
should try to see what is going
on with as much objectivity as
possible and decide whether or
not their own self-righteousness
causes them to enlarge minor
and isolated incidents.
They should teach their chil
dren to stand up for their right
to make friends with whomever
they please without taking on a
violently self-righteous attitude,
which, will only arouse other
children to the fun of persecut
ing them. They will not become
martyrs if they do not believe
themselves to be martyrs.
Mr. and Mrs. D. B. should
realize that the issue of racial
lines and bigotry can arise in
almost any neighborhood. They
can find a way of handling it
that enables them to stand up
for their principles and to live
peaceably with others. Their at
titude is not so unique that they
can't find plenty of friendly
sympathy and agreement.

with real expansion possibilities
have no worries. But for the
others, the onlyi answer is a
bigger house. If your budget per
mits, the best solution is a larg
er new house. But, if it doesn't,
your only hope is in a big, old
house. For here, a buyer usually
will get the most space for his
dollar . . ."
And here, of course, as Mr.
Scharff points out in detail, the
buyer can likewise lose his dol
lar as easily as at a lumber
convention poker game.
Such articles demonstrate that
the family man who needs more
space for his growing brood has
a problem that calls for the serv
ices of an educated expert in the
profession of diagnosing family
housing "cases" and prescribing
for them. This specialist is the
architect.
More than 50 per cent of the
professional services rendered
to clients by members of the
American Institute of Architects
are on design and supervision of
home construction new homes,
and programs of home expan
sion and remodeling. The retail
lumber dealer and the building
contractor are also excellent
counselors on the individual's
building problems, but the
architect is a specialist who is
technically trained for building
service on individual circum
stances and needs.
With a lumber house, it is
comparatively simple to keep
the home growing, right along
with the growing family at
least in most cases. The family
that is yet young always wants
the "larger new house'4 for more
space and better living. The
"big, old house" suggests a mul
titude of risks. The first step in
any case, is to ask an architect.
Football Player
Saves Two Children
Seattle (U.R) A Klamath
Falls, Ore., football player at
the University of Washington
was credited Friday with saving
the lives of two children when
he caught them as they were
tossed from the window of a
burning home.
Jim Dogherty, a center on the
Husky football team, ran to the
window and called to a 12-year-old
girl to drop her 13-months-old
brother to him, 15 feet be
low. The girl did. then followed
the baby herself into the arms
of Dogherty.
