STUDIIT At Cleveland, Ohio today the police laid in ambush for a bank robber - member of a gang that held u p the Superior Savings and Loan Company yesterday. They g ot away with thirty three thousand dollars, but one of the thieves was promptly caught. Moreover, the police got a line on another member of the ga.ng, John Hux, to whose house they went. There they found eeven thouaand dollars of the loot. Hux was not home, an4 two detectives waited for his return - an ambueh. After a while, a man · showed up, coming in through the front door. The two detective• stepped forward to grab him. But he turned to flee, reachin1 for his hip pocket. They opened fire, and killed hi ■• So who was itf Hot the bandit John Bux at all - it was a college student, Louis Haddad, an under-graduate attending Cleveland College.

DOCTOR Somewhere on Mount Olympus is an old fe~low with a long beard. His name - Hippocrates. He was the father of medicine, and to him is attributed the Hippocratic oath which doctors take - the pledge to follow the highest ideals of medicine and service to humanity. So I wonder what Hippocrates 1s saying tonight, as he hears about this bit of news from Windsor, Ontario. In a night club a patron collapsed wlth a sudden stroke of illness, and a doctor was called. The physician arrived, examined the patient, and pro~nounced hi ■ dead. Whereupon he took twenty-flTe dollars out of the patients pocket, as his fee - leaving a receipt for it. Just collecting his fee. This case was brought to the attention of the authorities at Windsor, and today they refused to make public the doctor's name. But they called his brand of • fee collecting - •unscrupulous, despicable. Which are strong words\ but ~ Olympus, 1s using A ~ • Hippocrates, up on Mount l a n g u a ~ ~ ~ n - 1 h a t , HARGARIT I'm afraid a lot of advanced thinkers with modern ideas are going to be st a rtled, not to say shocked, by what Margaret Truman bad to say today. The President's daughter not only propounded some old- fashioned ideas, but also gave some financial facts,._ which would seem to contradict an important point of social philosophy nowadays. In Hew York, Margaret Truman was queried on the sub3ect of - marriage. To which she might haTe replied - that's none of your business. But she wa1 too polite and obliging,-3'., said she has no matri■oni.a 1ntent1ona at present. SHUit too busy with her singina J career. But, when the time does come for marriage, her suitor will have to get father's consent. •He'll have to see my father in the traditional. manner,• said the President's daughter. •1 certainly would want my family's consent, and I doubt if I'd attempt to marry anyone they'd disapprove of.• Sounds mid-Victorian. We are told that in time past f a ther's consent KAIRABlt •... 2 was necessary because women were dependent financially on their families - while, in these times it 1s different becauee so many women are economically independent. So what about the econbmics of Margaret Truman?• Today she said that her income this season, earned by singing, will be between sixty and aeventy- f1ve thousand dollars - not so much less than father gets as President. Ber fee for a concert 1a fifteen hundred dollars. ror a radio broadcast - three thouean4 dollars. Ber total for the season will be twenty oonoerts and three broadcasts. Moreover, she expeota to make some phonograph records, which will add an extra bundle of cash. ' The young lady 1s f&nanc1ally independent all right - but she still thinks that father's consent 11
