PADDINGTON NEA Special Correspondent NEW YORK (NEAi-They still haven't stolen the bathtub yet. But one of 1958's Loony Larcenists managed to get as (ar as the bathroom scales.' Unfortunately, he didn't g e t much further with them than a magistrate's court in London, where he plaintively told the judge: "I don't know why I did it. I don't have a bathroom." And while justice weighs that Irony, consider these items on the year's roster of Tomfool Thievery: A peculiar pillerer probably named Peter purloined a peck of pickled peppers from a New Ha ven, Connecticut, cellar. - Blood Kelps Stricken Girl TORONTO, Ont. (AP) - Given life-sustaining blood transfusions as-' the result of a court order, Lori Lynn Campbell entered her eighth day of life today. A precedent-setting legal battle was erupt ing around her. Authorities at the Sick Chil dren's Hospital, where Lori was made a legal ward of the Toronto Children's Aid Society Saturday night, said her condition "seemed satisfactory." The society had secured custody 01 me Daoy atlur tier Jehovah s Witness parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Campbell, refused to allow trans fusions on religious grounds. Lori is suffering from an Rh negative blood condition. . Glen How, lawyer for the baby's parents, served notice he will bat tle in the courts the validity of the Child Welfare Act Children's Aid Society taking custody. He claimed that the section of the act used was beyond the power of the Pro vincial Legislature. The act permits children to be taken away from their parents if, among other things, proper medi cal care or treatment is not given. A special court convened at the hospital Saturday night and Judge Lome Stewart ordered the child taken from the parents' custody after doctors told him Lori would die without transfusions. How is expected to ask the Su premo Court of Ontario to reverse Judge Stewart's action. DOORS CPEN 6I.3 0 P. M. Ends TUESDAY!

In the heavy goods department top honors went .to two men ar rested in Ogden, Utah, for steal fng a 166-ton diesel switching loco motive. For sheer audacity, the medal went to a little old lady who walked into a mid-town New York City bank armed only with a glass of colorless liquid and threatened to throw acid a' a teller unless he gave her $3,000. He obliged. and the little old lady disappeared in the milling throng of shoppers while Christmas carols drowned out the bank's alarm. Love and marriage was the In spiration for a couple of shoplift ers. One who was arrested in John son City, Tennessee, was iound to be carrying two cartons of cigar ettes, two pipes, four watchbands, lour pairs of eyeglasses, 11 pocket knives, 25 drill bits, a safety ra zorand a ring and marriage li cense. In Milwaukee, a bride-to-be was caught shoplifting a wedding ring. . ' There was poetic justice of sorts, too. . - In Milwaukee, a burglar who masked his face with one of his baby's diapers was nabbed robbing the Bottoms-Up Tavern.

And in Japan, a thief making off with a radar reflector at a U.S. Air Base was detected on the radar screen and caught. The old wheeze about nobody here but us chickens" was topped in 1958 by: A New Britain, Connecticut, man. caught up a cherry tree, who explained he was looking for apples. A house burglar in Vancouver, British Columbia, who argued, when identified by his victim How can you be sure? It was so dark I couldn t recognize you. And a Washington, D.C., truck driver, arrested for stealing three tons of hotel and restaurant ta ble cloths, who rationalized, "I only took the really dirty ones."

"To improve his appearance, mainly," said Dick, "protect him from burrs and dirt and keep him warm on cool evenings. Dogs arc as subject to chills as humans." One garment, of embroidered silk and net with black ribbon trim, is a dog's party Coat. Party coat? "Sure," said Grossman. "Some people, when entertaining, want their dog to be well dressed too."

He's Johnny Grant, a cherub- faced platter spinner for radio Station KMPC. Johnny says there are approxi mately 100,000 servicemen still sweating it out in Korea and that they are starved for entertain ment Irom the states. "We'll be out there 16 days, doing two shows a day." he said. There are 17 performers in our troupe, 10 of whom are well- stacked girls. Some of those poor guys haven t seen gals from home since they shipped out. John's cornball humor is supple mented by a complete file of Bob Hope's jokes including the usual jibes at officers, Army food and hardboiled sergeants. He wears a chestful of phony ribbons and a 30-gallon Texas hat decorated with five stars.
