Explosive booby traps more likely nowadays to be victimized by
burglars than ever before. So it is only sen
sible to know how best to avoid this disturb

to know, if it should happen, what to do to
help recover lost possessions.

A Winning Platform
With a growing list of Presiden
tial candidates who are, “not run
ning,” it may be appropriate to set
down a platform for them. A win
ning platform. The mere fact that a
winning platform is in being may
move some of the “undecided,” and
prompt them to.detail for us how they
would propose to implement the
planks in the platform.
Plank 1: Immediate and drastic
reduction of governmental expendi
tures hy abolishing unnecessary agen
cies and consolidating departments
and bureaus.
Plank 2: A Federal budget bal
anced annually, based on accurate es
timates.
Plank 3: A sound currency to be
preserved at all hazards.
Plank 4: Remove Government
from a 11 private .enterprise except
public works.
Plank 5: An Army, Navy and
Air Force adequate for national de
fense which will not burden people
with expenditures of many billions of
dollars.
Plank 6: A firm foreign policy
based on no intereference with other
nations; the sanctity of treaties and
the maintenance of good faith and good
will in financial obligations.
Plank 7: Condefcin the disastrous
action which made the Government a
spectaculator of farm products and the
unsound policy of restricting farm
products.
Conclusion: To accomplish these
purposes and to recover economic lib
erty, pledge the nominees of the con
vention the best efforts of a great party
pledged to the doctrine which guides
us now in the hour of our country’s
need: Equal rights for all; special priv
ileges for none.
How do we know this is a winning
platform?
It contains the principal provisions
of the platform on which Franklin D.
Roosevelt ran and won election in hia
first campaign 35 years ago.
And the planks in the platform re
main unused to this day.
Any candidate, irrespective of par
ty, who could persuade the voters that
he would put those planks into use after
all these years, would win by the big
gest landslide ever recorded in a na-
. tional election.
Advertising is the goodxservant of
„ those who really know how^to use it.
MANY BREAKS COULD BE PREVENTED
Police experts on burglary pretty much
agree that carelessness in locking doors and
windows makes an easy-in for housebreak
ers, most of whom are likely to be ama
teurs. The old adage that any burglar who
\Yants to get in will find a way is not taken
too seriously by most students of the wav of
thieves. If entrance is made difficult,
chances are that the average felon will keep
looking until he finds a house or an apart
ment that is an obvious easy mark
Perhaps the “open sesame” for most
breaks is the snap lock that clicks shut with
out the use of a key. Such a device can us
ually be opened in a moment or two hy ma
nipulating a thin, firm object, such as a
charge card or a pocket calendar. Drop-
bolt, double, and various types of “police”
locks provide superior assurance against
entry. Your locksmith will help you on th s
matter, and will make certain that there are
no weak sections of wood or glass around
the lock that could be easily shattered bv
sudden force. Some reliable locks come with
magnetic keys having neither teeth nor
grooves so they cannot be duplicated.
CHANGE OF LOCKS
SOMETIMES ADVISABLE
It surely should not be considered “sillv"
—nor is it particularly costly—to have looks
checked from time to time, and changed oc
casionally. When moving into a now house
or apartment, it is definitely advisable to
have the locks changed; same is applicable
when maids or other domestics are replaced,
especially if theirs was short-term or tem
porary tenure. Any police officer will ad
vise altering locks in a newdy rented apart
ment, and this is only common sense in a
high-rise where strangers constantly move
about.
Windows create somewhat of a problem,
since they can often be smashed and a sim
ple catch released. In crowded cities metal
grilles are frequently attached either inside
or outside the panes. While locked inside
grilles are a better guard against burglary
than those that can be pried off from the out
side, they present a serious hazard for resi
dents in case of fire. Many fire departments
have strong ideas on this, and reportedly
some big-city departments are testing out
window locks that are both safe and burglar-
resistant. Night lights are a good idea when
a home is to be left vacant; and co-opera
tion oi neighbors is always helpful.
IF THERE SHOULD BE A ROBBERY . . .
Even with the utmost precaution, rob
beries do take place. Authorities make it
clear that they will be grateful it the victims
do not put things in order after a place is
ransacked. This makes it next to impos
sible to find the clues that most alien lead to
capture of a thief and recovery of the stolen
goods. Insurance companies should be noti
fied at once and provided with details on nil
valuable articles known to be missing. Bo'h
police and insurance agents are constantly
appalled by peoples’ inability to identify
stolen goods. Insurees are urged to keep se
rial numbers of costly appliances Women
should hote the furrier’s mark on the skins
in a luxurious iur coat, since any identifica
tion is likely to have been ripped off. In the
case of expensive jewelry and such items ps
sculpture and paintings, color photographs’
should he taken and put in a secure place
such as a safe-deposit box. It is wise, in
fact, to keep notations of all valuables to
gether in such a repository. This will do
away with the vague descriptions and forgot
ten details that are so discouraging to police
and insurance men.
Final reminder: Police officials insist that
there is an excellent chance of successfully
solving a burglary ... if they are summoned
immediately and if everything in the rifled
home is left strictly as is until they have
completed their inspection.
