HOW ELSE? LANSING. Mich. (AP)-A Lan sing police car sped through the predawn darkness. Police had a report that a man was lurking outside a local residence. Officers said the man stood mo tionless as they raced up to him. In fact, they added, he looked frozen stiff. But how else would a snowman look? . WHAT IS IT? Where did it coma from? These are the two questions Fred Heilbronner would like answered about the tin hat he's shown holding. The hat, made of carefully waldad tin and other metal, including a natty sheet metal band and bow, was found by Heilbronner in the basement ef the American Legion Club quarters. The old tin hat, which bears copper reinforcing in the crown, is plastered with labels of the Kiwanis Club, the 20-30 Club, The American Legion, the Lions Club and Rotary International.

Wash. (AP) Dave Beck's Sheridan Beach home and a 1149 European trip made by the lormer leamsters president were examined Friday in federal Judge George Boldt s court. Ludwig Lobe, tax accountant who prepared the tax returns for Beck, testified that Beck's home was valued at $45,000 in 1950 and was sold three years later to the Teamsters -Union for $183,000. The testimony was tied into the government's efforts to show that Beck evaded $240,000 in income taxes for 1950-53. Lobe said he got the $45,000 fig ure from Fred Verschueren. Teamsters official and close friend of Beck. Verschueren. who supplied Lobe with most of Beck's tax information, later was said by tsecK to De "way oil ' on his fig ure. The government also offered ev idence Beck received a total of $12,000 in expense money for trip in 1949 as an American labor delegate to a congress in Great untain. The 12-weck trip, on which he was accompanied bv Mrs. Beck nay Lehcney, Los Angeles Team sters otticial, and Mrs. Leheney. also took in a number of other European countries. They were received oy the Pope in Rome. lesnmony indicated Beck was paid $5,000 each from the West crn Conference of Teamsters and the International Brotherhood -nf leamsters. as well as $2,000 from the American Federation of La- oor. Lobe admitted Beck's expense accounts did not show on his tax returns. Baby Sifter Sat Too Long; Doctor, Too MINNEAPOLIS (AP)-A baby sitter who adhered to her job somewhat too closely was claim- ng belated attention in suburban Edina Saturday. The 16-year-old girl s travail be gan soon after she started her stint while the lady of the house and her mate went to a New Year's eve party. The lady left without warning the sitter that she had just paint ed the bathroom appurtenances with a so-called miracle plastic paint that carried the label, "It stays on." When the sitter visited the bath room early in the evening, she discovered that label was all too true she couldn't leave the place. And she was still trapped there when the couple returned about 3 a.m. New Year's Day. When turpentine failed to re move the scat of the trouble, the young husband called a physician. He tried alcohol to dissolve the paint. But again without results. Despite the discomfiture of the seated sitter, the humor of the situation gripped the doctor. He burst into a spasm of laughter, tripped over the sitter's foot and hit the bathtub, knocking himself out. The man of the house then sum moned an ambulance crew. The men literally tore the sitter loose from the paint. They took her and the doctor, who had suffered a concussion, to the hospital. Both are reported up and about with out any ill effects. The sitler and the physician had attorneys draw 'up lawsuits against the couple owning the house. But a man handling the couple's insurance has promised they will never come to trial. "While we'd love the publicity," he was quoted, "it would be just too embarrassing all around. Names of those involved were not made public. Obituaries BROWN Minerva Brown, 61, died here .lanuary 23.

FBI Urges By JERRY BENNETT WASHINGTON (NEA) Not even the world's best baby pho tographer can turn out a memento that's as valuable to proud parents as the hospital record of their in fant's footprints. The importance of this unique document made headlines recent ly when a Bossier City, Louisiana, couple called on the Federal Bu reau of Investigation to find out which of their 5-year-old twin daughters was which The girls looked so much alike that mom and dad were in a con stant state of confusion trying to tell them apart. To complicate matters, the twins favorite house hold prank was to use each oth er s name. Finally, the parents decided it was time to settle the problem. They asked local detectives to take footprints of the girls and match them with those on their birth cer tificates. But the four sets of prints looked as much alike to the police as the twin's smiling faces. Finally the detectives mailed the OUR RESOLUTION TIME, I HOPE ONE TO DO WITH 1 A A Jury Finds Youth Guilty On Lesser Larceny Count A Chiloquin man on trial for grand larceny was found guilty Friday of the lesser crime of petty larceny.

John Doe) Virginia Jans Doe Virginia. -BOOO PI na Street aaibn Female Infant Footprinting prints to the FBI's Identification Division in Washington. This branch of the famed law enforce ment agency identifies disaster victims, locates missing persons and straightens out baby mix-ups as a public service. Within 15 min utes the highly skilled ID experts spotted differences in the prints and solved the parents' dilemma. It's cases like this that cause FBI officials to emphasize the im portance of hospitals footprinting babies. They explain that the rule of no two people having the same fingerprints also holds true for footprints Footprinting is usually used for infants since their fingers are too small and flexible to make clear ink impressions. But agents ex plain that unless a baby's prints are taken before he leaves the de livery room there's no fool-proof way or settling any future ques tion about his identity. This is true even if the hospital uses spe cial name tags. Most hospitals fix identification tags onto the wrists or ankles of the sor IS TO DELIVER ON OF YOURS HAS MINE by Foreman Leonard Johnson, scheduled Cole's sentencing for 10 a.m. Tuesday. The state, represented by Depu ty District Attorney Philip Engel gau, maintained that Cole had pos session of all the stolen articles in his station wagon, that he was caught putting one battery in his vehicle when accosted by Deputy Sheriff Alvie Youngblood, and that he had admitted three times to Youngblood that he had stolen the equipment. The defense, represented by At torney Robert G. Daniclson, main tained that Cole was in Chiloquin watching television at the time Wilson and a juvenile borrowed his station wagon and returned with the equipment. The defense asserted that Cole was given one battery as payment for using the station wagon, but that Cole oth erwise was not involved in the theft. Jury members, in addition to Johnson, were George A. Zum brun. Ora F. Blay. Richard Zwein er, Margaret Addison, Anna A. Burns. Virginia Fiegi. Carol Mc- Culley. Allen Aldrich, Walter Wil bur.

It didn't mat ter that both the baby's crib and identification bracelet were marked with the right name. The infant was simply too ugly to oe ners, Hospital officials made a fresh set of the baby's footprints and took them, along with their own records, to the FBI. A quick check proved beyond a doubt that the two sets of prints were identical The woman had no choice but to take the ugly tot home, Despite t h e numerous infant identifications that have been made with footprints, critics often claim that the system is complete ly unreliaDle. lhey argue that in many cases what was supposed to be a print turned out to be noth ing but a blob. I FBI experts, however, insist that all necessary identification lines are on the feet of every newborn baby. They explain that smudges are the result of hospital person nel not knowing the right way to take tootprints. lhat s why FBI officials urge that local police agencies volun teer to teach hospital technicians the proper technique. Agents also recommend that nursing schools offer a special course in footprint ing. They explain that they don't advocate the system as a replace ment for name tags but only as an extra protection against mix- ups. Footprinting infants has become standard policy in numerous hospi tals throughout the country. In several states it's required by law.
