Heroin Habit Cost Led to Holdups, Say Young Pair
ALHAMBRA, May 10, UP. A young mother and father were held today by police who said the couple admitted a series of robberies to finance their 30-a-day narcotics habit. Rob ert Sager, 22, and his 19-year-old wife Joanne were arrested on thefts from parked cars and trucks. Detectives said the pair admitted the robberies because normal employment could not supply enough for heroin. Their one-year-old son, allegedly taken on nightly excursions, was placed with Mrs. Sager's mother for temporary care.

Blame on Hobson Skipper Cited in Wasp Collision
Bayonne May 10 The senior surviving officer of the destroyer mine sweeper Hobson Lt William A Hoeferdy testifies before a naval court of inquiry stating the disaster might not have occurred if Lt Comdr William J Tierney had ordered a single turn. Hoeferdy says Hobson moved too fast and two left turns followed a right turn. He cites a flotilla dispatch urging crews to get on station as influencing Tierney's orders, noting the tragedy killed 176 near the Azores on April 16.
