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.

height of waves breaking on
the beaches, intervals between
the waves and temperatures
and wind velocity.
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. .

cheered as the turtle pulled
up to the curb.
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."

Study of Indian
Bones Being Made
Cummaquid, Mass.- (IF! A
new study is being made of
bones presumably those of

a century ago.
A historical foundation

However, officials of Pil

sor of the bones, believe they
are of an Indian maiden.
Iyanough was head of In
dians in the mid-Cape section
who befriended the Pilgrims.
He died in 1623.

Research Value
Af Record High
Chicago (IP) The financial
value of research and the num
ber of research projects in
volved both reached record
highs at Armour Research
Foundation during the 1957-58
fiscal year, it reported.
Gross volume of the founda
tion, a division of the Illinois
Institute of Technology, rose
to $14,067,534, an increase of
more than 18 per cent over the
previous fiscal period.
At the same time, there
were 734 research projects, a
record figure. The total was
split into 404 projects for in
dustry and 330 for government
agencies.
Dr. Haldon A. Leedy, ARF
director, said the year was
"marked by over-all improve
ment and expansion particu
larly in the areas of research
performance, scientific man
power and plant facilities."
Leedy said the emphasis
was laid on the quality of the
staff and its performance.
"A conscientious effort was
made to upgrade the technical
proficiency of the fundation
without sacrificing volume,"
he said. "How well this was
accomplished is reflected In
the results."
