Rve Fire Calls Answered The cold weather brought tho fire laddies out of their warm quarters to answer five calls during the week-end. The first come at 5:30 p. m. Saturday from the Horace E. Getz resi dence, 511 Pacific Terrace, when a flue fire was reported. There was no damage. Sunday at 12:18 a. m. Uie de partment answered a- call to the Oregon barbecue stand at Oregon and Upham when a pan of hot grease was reported on fire in the oven. There was slight damage. At 9:25 a. m. a defective fireplace caused resi dents of 1405 Worden to sum mon the fire truck. There was no damage, firemen said. The place is occupied by Art Vro man. At 6:40 p. m.

Buck. 5 Voodburn Escapees Back PORTLAND, Dec. 30 ifP) Five of 12 boys who escaped the state training school at Woodburn yesterday afternoon were recaptured in this region late last night and early this morning. Two were taken Into custody, the Clackamas county sheriff's office said, after stealing a truck in Oregon City. Sons of the truck's owner trailed the boys to Portland. Three other inmates were captured later in northeast Portland. The 12 boys had es caped in two groups. One group of six pushed their way out of a cottage window and the second broke out of a kitchen window before the su pervisor could stop them. Superintendent M. D. Wooley reported none was dangerous and attributed the mass break to general restlessness over the holidays. British Troops Search For Kidnappers JERUSALEM, Dec. 30 W The British military announced today that all Jewish communi ties along the Palestine coast had been placed out of bounds to the 30,000 British troops on duty in the area, as authoriUes pressed a search, for Uie armed kidnapers who a (TO tic ted a British major and three sergeants last night and gave each 18 lashes in what was described as a retaliatory move. A military source predicted that authorities, fearing British troops might seek vengeance for the floggings, would keep the ruling in force at least until after New Year's Eve. The provost marshal's office said that "feel ing is running high" in Uie mili tary camps. Jewish agency sources ex pressed regret for the floggings. Meanwhile the British ship. Ocean Vigour, arrived in Haifa harbor bringing 750 Jewish ref ugees who were deported to Cy prus when they originally ar rived here within immigration certificates. MONOAr, Dm. M. ft. TkM CIO arguments for a new round Robey sharply criticized the report made for the CIO by Robert Nathan, private ccono. mist and former war production planner. Robey asserted Nathan had a "record of faulty predic tions such as that unemploy ment would reach 8,000,000 in the spring of 1946." Nathan maintained in his re port for the CIO that present business profits are high enough .so that industry can grant pay boosts up to 25 per cent with out raising prices or reducing profits below wartime peaks. "The whole theory of the re port to the CIO," Robey's state ment said, "is based on Nathan's guess as to what business profits would be in the last quarter of 1946 and his assumption that business will continue to earn at least that much from here on. . . . "Nathan's figures for 1946 are merely his own estimate. Being purely guesswork, this is like, a weather prophet predicting it is going to rain next Sunday. The only way to find out if it does rain is to wait until next Sun day. This is dangerous business when it comes to economics." 11 First Robin" Here Again This may start an argument like last year's "first robin" story, but late Saturday after noon The Herald and News re ceived a call from C. R. Cald well. 1534 Madison, that trees in front of his home were "full of fat robins." These robins, according to Caldwell, are the first he has seen and The Herald and News at this time docs not go so far as to say these are the first robins. We learned our lesson last year when a first robin story brought a veritable storm of protest from readers who had already been in on the first robin. Anyway, we can say that these are the first robins re ported to The Herald and Nvas and thereby stand pat- Cald well told this office that some 200 of the red breasted birds, fat and sassy, were making merry in his trees and they looked, to him, "like they were going someplace." (Ed. Note: The Herald and News ornithologist says there ain't no such thing as a "first robin" as robins hang around here all winter!) Launch Search for the perpetrators of last night's floggings continued, with British authoriUes and Palestine police participating iu Uie manhunt. Authorities said that Uie major was whisked away by five armed men from Uie lounge of the Hotel Mctropole in Nathanya, 40 miles north of Tel Aviv, where he was sitting with his wife. He was said to have been blindfolded, tied to a rack and beaten with a cane. Meanwhile eight men, armed with submachine guns, abducted two sergeants from in front of the Armon hotel on Tel Aviv's waterfront. Forced into an auto mobile, they were taken to Uie outskirts of the all-Jewish city, where, police said, their abduc tors "took down their pants and administered 18 strokes apiece." A third sergeant was flogged at Rishon Le Zion, the historic Jewish settlement founded by Baron Rothschild, 20 miles south of Tel Aviv. He was said to be in serious condition in a military hospital.
