t MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Oregon, Wednesday, April 23, 1938 Boy's Pleas Unheeded In Attempt To Seize Knife-Wielding Thief Chicago ilP A boy stood alone against a knife wielding burglar Tuesday. Richard Moeller, 16, surprised the burglar at the youth's ransacked home. The man saw Richard and fled. Charging after the man, Richard cried, "Help! Robber:" Passersby did nothing. The fugitive hailed a bus at a corner. Richard grabbed the man's arm. He turned to the bus driver and about 20 passen gers, exhorting them: "Grab him: He robbed our house." They looked at him indifferently. "Someone help me," the boy begged. "He's got my little brother's bank in his hand." A second later, a knife flashed in the man's hand Richard recoiled from the knife and pleaded again. The bus driver then summed up everybody else's feelings." "Listen, I'm not a cop," he said. He was a bus driver. He proved It by taking the man's change and giving him a seat. The boy stood helplessly alone. There was nothing he could do. He stepped back off the bus and watched it drive away. Marines Pare Training Toll Camp Pendleton, Calif. (IP) Important strides in cutting down fatalities during am phibious training operations have been made by five Ma rines who have a full-time job of watching ocean cur rents and weather conditions.

The information is passed along to the U.S. Weather Bureau in Washington and is used by top Navy and Marine officials in planning casualty free ampniDious training in this area. Military officials ordered establishment of the post, the only one of its kind, in Janu ary, 1951, after heavy losses were suffered in both men and equipment during an am phibious maneuver on the beaches. The records of surf condition have become an im portant part of military plan ning since then. The five-man crew, which includes a veteran weather analyst, makes forecasts of surf conditions prior to all amphibious operations. Com manders study the forecasts before ordering landings of amphibious vehicles. Marine officials say the forecasts have proven ex tremely helpful in cutting down on the possibility of operations being conducted under adverse surf condition which could easily capsize amphibious ' vehicles, causing loss of life. .

Lana Turner's Daughter Due in Court Thursday Santa Monica, Calif Nearly a score of witnesses will be called Thursday in the Juvenile court hearing for actress Lana Turner's 14-year-old daughter, Cheryl who fa tally stabbed Johnny Stompa nato April 4. Superior Judge Allen T. Lynch, who will preside at the hearing, said it will be kept strictly private. He said his only concern was Cheryl's welfare. To Determine Fate "She's going to live with this thing the rest of her life regardless of what I do," the jurist said. The hearing will determine what will be done with the tall, good-looking girl who plunged a kitchen knife into Stompanato Lana's lover to protect her glamorous mother. A coroner's inquest found the slaying to be "justifiable homicide" but the ruling is not binding on the juvenile court which can leave the girl in Lana's custody, turn ' her over to her father, Stephen Crane, or keep her in an insti tution. Attorney William Jerome Pollack, who filed a $750,000 damage suit against Miss Tur ner, Crane and Cheryl Tues day on behalf of Stompanato's 10-year-old son, said he would attempt to serve notification of the suit at Thursday's hear ing. Son Said Deprived The suit said the death of the 32-year-old former body guard of ex-mobster Mickey Cohen had deprived his son, John III, Hammond, Ind., of "financial help, the services, assistance, society, comfort, protection and support" of his father. Famous filmland attorney, Jerry Giesler, Lana's lawyer, commented that the persons who filed the action "must be very optimistic." Crane's attorney, Arthur J. Crowley, said the action was "ridiculous." fefff ' 1 V 1 ARTIFICIAL ORGAN This is a close-up view of a plastic heart similar to one that was used at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, to sustain the life of a dog for two hours.
