HOW ELSE?
LANSING. Mich. (AP)-A Lan

predawn darkness. Police had a
report that a man was lurking
outside a local residence.
Officers said the man stood mo

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.
It is apparently about a size seven and three quarters, or
larger. Anyone knowing the history of the tin plug is urged
to contact Heilbronner at his home.

Tax Expert
Tells Of Beck
Home, Tour
TACOMA. 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.

police as the twin's smiling faces.

Infant Footprinting

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

newborn infants. But there's al
ways the possibility that the tags
will come off and be put back on
tne wrong Dames.
une Washington woman : was
convinced that this had happened
when she arrived at the local hos
pital to claim her baby. The in-
lant had been kept there for sev
eral days of additional treatment
after the mother had been dis
charged
When the woman was handed
the tot, she insisted that there
must be a mistake. 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.

Four Youths
Face Charge
Of Perjury
WEED Four Weed youths face
charges of perjury growing out
of last week's trial of Robert
Evans Trowbridge, 22, who was
found guilty of reckless driving.
Four warrants were issued by
Merl J. Hanson, McCloud Justice
Court judge, who had disquali
fied himself in the Trowbridse
trial. Judge Kenneth T. Stone of
Weed, acting judge, sentenced
Trowbridge to serve 16 days in
jail, the sentence to be served
weekends.
Trowbridge and three of his de
fense witnesses, Dudley Maxey,
19; Carlos Uribe, 20, and Ernest
Grooms, 21, all of Weed, are
charged with perjuring themselves
during Trowbridge's trial. Trow
bridge was in the Siskiyou County
Jail at Yreka on Saturday morn
ing in lieu of $2,000 bail. Bail was
set at $1,000 for each of the other
three and was posted by Maxey
who was released.
Siskiyou County's recently elect
