Justice Balanced Scales;
Pickled Peppers Pilfered
By MEADER G. 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.

In Covington, Kentucky, the loot
included five furnaces and two
front porches.
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.
In Jersey City, a forger await
ing trial scribbled this verse: "I
bounced a check, a cop bounced
me: the judge said, bon, you 11
do about three.' " The judge con
firmed his prophecy.
In Paterson, New Jersey, a fath
er who told his son in jest to go
rob a bank found out later the
boy had done just as he was told.
In Columbus. Ohio, a house-
breaker stole a television set, tried
to sell it to a filling station pro
prietor, found himself dickering
with the set's original owner.
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."
The meanest larcenists of the
year, after lifting ?20 from the
cash register oi a wasningion aai-
rv products shop, relieved a u-
year-old boy customer of two pints
of ice cream and 31 cents.
And the softest-hearted sate
crackers operated in Bluefield, Vir
ginia, where they took $400 from a
supermarket but filled the store's
Heart Fund container with dimes

It takes a thief to catch a thief,
you'll remember. But how about
the Tokyo detective, assigned to
nrevent nurse snatching on corn

for snatching a ourse on a crowd
ed commuter train? Or the man-
acer of a Miami firm that pro

In Richmond. Virginia, a fellow
by that name reported the theft of

Official Fears
Fish May Die
McCALL. Idaho (AP)-A fish
erics official predicted Saturday
that as many as 50 per cent of
the salmon transported around the
Brownlce and Oxbow dam sites on
the Snake River this fall may be
unable to spawn.
Sam Hutchinson, Seattle, chief
of commercial fisheries in the
Northwest for U.S. Kish and Wild
life Service, told the Idaho Wild
life Federation the fish tceeived
too much handling during the
journey.
When fish passage facilities
broke down at Oxbow the Idaho
Power Co. dipped the salmon out
ol the river with nets. They were
transported upstream in tans
trucks. It was estimated that
about 13,000 fish were moved this
way.
At least 4,000 fish were lost,
Hutchinson said. He called this a
calamity.

House Mulls
Complaint
WASHINGTON (AP) A spe

plaint by Rep. Coya Knutson ID
Minn) that a malicious conspiracy
caused her defeat for reelection.
Mrs. Knutson asked for the in
quiry after she narrowly lost to
Odin Langen, her Republican op
ponent. The campaign was high
lighted by a plea of her husband
Andy Knutson that she get out of
politics and come home.
The special committee will have
to make a report and recommend
ations before the new Congress
convenes Jan. 7.
Any formal contest would have
to be filed by Mrs. Knutson with
the House Elections subcommit
tee.
Mrs. Knutson, in her petition to
the committee, said she lost by
1.390 votes out of 94,336 cast. She
blamed the outcome on what, she
called false charges by her hus
band. She contended such charges
"were a basic part of a malicious
conspiracy by persons attached to
and associated with Langen. She
said this constituted a fraud on
the voters.
Langen, however, said he had
no hand in inducing her husband

never discussed the Knutsons'
domestic difficulties in his cam

the idea of enterprising Dick
Grossman, 32, a nearby San Fer
nando Valley movie exhibitor, and
his wife Enid, 30. For years
they've won trophies with their
poodles Kip and Dandy.
tux months ago we were play
ing bridge with friends and talking
dogs as we jsually do, said Dick.
I said, 'Why isn't there a fine
shop for dogs, where dogs are cat
ered to the way people are cat
ered to?
He looked around five months.
then chose a prominent location
in this home of movie stars and
other well-to-do dog lovers.
The shop offers dog cologne.
hair bows, English hair brushes,
chrome-plated combs and dog
portrait photography. A sterilized
whelping box for an expectant
mother dog can be rented.
Well even cater docs' birth
day parties," Grossman said.
"We'll provide a hamburger cake
decorated with dog biscuits and
dog candy, and napkins, cups and
so tortn. lhe price will depend on
how many dogs are invited."
hnid designed the coats. A
seamstress in the back shop
makes them. They fasten under
the tummy and look like a child's
garment without arms. An elastic
band loops over the tail. Why put
a coat on a dog?
"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."

Wheat Group
Okays Plan
DENVER (AP)-Proposed legis
lation to be submitted to Congress
which would base quotas on bush
els rather than acreage was ap
proved by the National Assn. of
Wheat Growers Saturday.
Kenneth Kendricks of Texas ob
jected to the proposal, which
would base marketing allotments
On bushels instead of the present
acreage method. He said the pro
posed method would penalize
farmers in drought areas.
The association's legislative pro
gram also endorsed determining
marketing allotments annually
and the lifting of all restrictions
on the use of wheat produced in
excess of the quota.
The association urged a mini
mum support payment on the quo
ta crop of $1.60 a bushel and
urged a 500 million bushel wheat
stockpile for defense.

the tours quit cold.
However, one little five-by five
Hollywood disc jockey will be
making his 12th trip to Korea this
week with a planeful of - pretty
girls, entertainers and musicians
to cheer the lonely ois.
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.
In past years, Johnny has man
aged to provide such stars as

Grant asked to go along begged
off. Neither Johnny nor any other
members - of the troupe are paid
for their efforts. Nor are Johnny's
jaunts publicized..
"We do it for fun. And because
I'm a big ham at heart, too," he
grinned. "Talking into a radio
every day you ion't get any au
dience reaction. Out there those
soldiers and sailors are the best
audience in the world.
"The shows are held on make
shift stages, sometimes out in the
middle of snow storms. But we al
ways have a huge crowd.
"One year I ran through my
usual patter to warm up the au
dience, but nobody laughed. I
looked closely at the crowd and
realized that of about 2500 men
there were only 40 or 50 Ameri

So I asked a liaison officer to in

"When I cracked a joke he
would translate it for me. The
