Charges of failing to stop at

torney's office, were dismissed
in circuit court Tuesday after
noon by Judge David H. Vanden
berg. At the close of the state s
case, the attorney for the de

SEATTLE, Nov. 22 UP) The
destroyer Abner Read, sunk in
the Philippines, had previously
had the stem blown off after ap
parently hitting a mine in Alaska
waters but underwent temporary
repairs at an advanced base and
was returned to action in the Pu
set Sound navy yard in record
time, 13th naval district head
quarters announced today.
The ship's magazine also ex
ploded and the stern was blown
completely away, the announce
ment said. The vessel was on
meht patrol, duty at the time,
shortly after the occupation of
Kiska.
Ingenuity of the ship's crew
and repair crews at the base
made tne vessel seaworthy, with
temporary bulkheads and a jury
rudder. On its arrival at Brem
erton after being towed south, a
new stern was ready and was
joined to the destroyer with
such accuracy that the "newly
built section might well have
oeen pari ot tne original ship,
officers said.
"Many valuable weeks were
saved in getting ihe Abner Read
back to sea and into action
against the enemy again," the
announcement said.
The loss of the Abner Read
was announced Monday in a list
ui au vessels lost.

Juvenile Shoplifters Baffle
Officials With 'Crime Wave'
By ANN REED BURNS
PORTLAND, Nov. 22 (.P)
Bobbysockers who shoplift for
fun are baffling juvenile offi
cials here and have Portland re
tailers walking on their heels.
Young girls, who seem to
skip classes to shoplift as casu
ally as boys play hookey to go
fishing, have been arrested from
nearly every high school and
grade school in town and from
some of the city's better homes.
The thefts practically all for
personal use, not for sale have
been increasing for two years.
The bobbysock brigade seems
to be doing its Christmas shop
lifting early, and police say it
beats anything they've ever
seen.
A 12-year-old was caught with
S150 of cashmere sweaters,
beads and bracelets in a shop
ping bag. A girl of 17 admitted
stealing S800 worth of goods in
seven months to send as gifts
to her sailor sweetheart. At one
glove counter a detective caught
five girls, each with a stolen
pair of gloves in her size.
One department store official
said shoplifting has run into so
many thousands of dollars that
his auditors held up inventory
reports, thinking there must
Jack Dempsey
Blames Himself
For Long Count
CHICAGO, Nov. 22 VP) Com
mander Jack Dempsey of the
coast guard, one-time king of the
heavyweights, came back to the
scene of his bitterest ring disap
pointment and blamed himself
for that long-argued "long
count" loss to Gene Tunney 17
years ago.
Apparently mellowed by the
years that have passed since he
failed to regain his crown from
Tunney here in 1927, and evi
dently no longer concerned with
the length of that count, he told
the Quarterback club here:
"Nobody is to blame for that
long count. The referee was not
responsible for it, Tunney was
not responsible for it, the timer
was not responsible for it. The
only person responsible was my
self." The famous "long count" came
after Dempsey had floored Tun
ney and then failed to go into a
neutral corner quickly.
Dempsey was here with for
mer Lightweight Champion Lou
Ambers in the interest of the
6th War Loan drive.

have been a bookkeeping error.
"I've seen nothing like it in 34
years," he said.
Police Capt. Elizabeth Moorad
opined that the youngsters look
at shoplifting as a fad not a
crime. It's like boys tearing
down signs on Halloween. "I
guess it is stealing," one tearful
teen-ager confessed. "Only I
didn't think of it that way. It
was an adventure, sort of. The
other girls were doing it."
"They make a game out of
it," said Captain Moorad. "A
girl friend boasts about how
she lifted cosmetics or jewelry.
They try it out. It's easy. And
they try it again."
The shoplifting, she thinks,
stems from truancy youngsters
with time on their hands and
nothing to do. Not a single girl
arrested has been from a group
like the Camp Fire Girls or
Girl Scouts, who had other out
lets for their energy.
The stores are doing some
thing about it. Detectives have
been increased. School officials
have begun patroling depart
ment stores, to challenge school
age youngsters who drift in
during class hours.
The shoplifters are not regu
lar juvenile delinquents. Some
are daughters of highly respect
ed Portland citizens, who are
incredulous to discover that the
gold bracelet Susie's been wear
ing wasn't borrowed from a
classmate after all.
The banditry usually stops
with the first arrest. "It seems
to bring it home to them that
they've been stealing," Capt.
Moorad said, iney re terribly
embarrassed, usually; their par
ents have found out about it
We have very few repeaters."
