He attracted the attention of several little boys who wanled to bail him out. but lacked the funds, and of persons up in the city library who were willing and able to payr the license fee.

On July 2, after his bags wrere packed for a plane trip to Miami en route home, Gustafson said he decided to bring the print and wrapped it around his leg, beneath a heavy boot. The bulge it made and his slight ly stiff-kneed walk made customs inspector George E. Cook sus picious and Gustafson’s arrest fol lowed. “I thought it would be a nice keepsake of the place I had worked and I foolishly took it along,” Qus tafson testified. “It didn’t look so bad, but a Naval officer told me that it might have been lost or stol en from me and thus might have gotten into a spy’s hands. When you look at it that w’ay, it looks bad.” He is a native of Minneapolis. -V Red Cross Is Furnishing Supplies To Rescue Boats WASHINGTON, July 14.—— The Red Cross is rapidly equip ping all petrol and convoy escort vessels with emergency clothing kits for sailors rescued at sea.
