He appeared at the home of a neighbor and found Halloween was just about over at that point David was, by actual count, the 78th visitor. Only two small pieces of candy remained, in the bowl proffered him.

Officers Tom Bonetta and Frank Gannon, as "investigating officers," found him downright belligerent "Ah, you cops!" Kistler heckled, playing his role to' the hilt "You guys don't know whatcha doing!" And he took a wild swing at the two officers. Bonetta and Gannon sighed sadly. They grasped the "driver," wrestled him into the Hall of Justice, tossed him into the clink. Left him there 30 minutes.

Was Kistler annoyed? Not a bit The incident he thinks, is a tribute to his abilities as a teacher. "THEY knew what to do!" he crows. 0 6 Civic leaders in Irvington are annoyingly uncertain whether it was just a Halloween prank or something more significant Freeway Traffic Snarls as Five Autos Lock Horns Wife Talks About Money Given Niece -J Vincent and Vivian Hallinan shared the spotlight today as they took turns testifying in their Eastshore Freeway traffic was slowed to a bumper-to-bumper pace for two hours during the peak period this morning by a series of accidents i involving five cars.

Hallinan talked further about the purchase of a five-acre Marin County tract from State Supreme Court Justice Jesse W. Carter. His wife talked about payments given to a niece of Hallinan as a steady employee in their operation of apartments and also told of her first meeting with two internal revenue investigators. It -was under questioning by Asst.

U.S. Atty. Macklin Fleming that the subject of the acquisition of the land from Justice Carter arose. The government counsel showed there was no public record of the purchase in 1949 and Hallinan indicated this was unintentional. At one point this morning, Fleming asked: "Between May 25, 1948, and February 28, 1949, did you have a proceeding pending before the court (meaning the Supreme Court).

"I don't remember the dates," said Hallinan. The questioning ended there. PROPERTY PROBE making the transfer on tax rec ords. He said he hadn seen Hal linan "from that day to this." t.

Each visited Oakland recently, wandered into Walt Grondona's meatball mecca on 12th Street Each, studying the menu, noted that the Hangtown Fry was listed. The Hangtown Fry, in case you've been lucky enough not to have one, is a concoction of eggs, oysters and bacon. It was invented in Placerville in the gold-rush days when a gold-dusty miner ordered "the most expensive breakfast you've got" Advised that eggs were as expensive as "oysters, the overnight millionaire cried, "Fry both of 'em up in Hangtown style, and throw in some bacon, too." (Bacon was next most expensive.) You can imagine how Ellsworth and Nicolas felt when, instead of oysters, egg and bacon, the Oakland restaurant served a pale imitation egg and crab.

What's it's a serious project through which Stanford psychologists have evaluated the relative merits of two methods of teaching. Students were split into two groups, those who learned by rote memorization and those who learned by understanding the basic principles behind the card tricks. The second method is the better of the two, says Prof. Ernest R.

Hilgard in an article in the Journal of Experimental Psychology. While it's harder and takes longer to learn by understanding the mathematical principle behind a card trick, subsequent similar problems are solved more easily. "The results are significant in view of the fact that educational methods today still rely too heavily upon rote memorization," says Dr. Hilgard. Moral seems to be: Don't explain to your youngsters how a given task must be performed.

Explain why it must be done that way. 0 Perhaps crooked dice aren't as effective as they are claimed to be. Two Oakland shops, at least carry stores-window displays of such dice, offering "flat tops and loaded" dice, as well as "tops and bottoms," "percentage" and "six-ace flat dice" in all colors and sizes. But cheating, apparently, doesn't pay off. They're being offered in lower-Broadway hock shops at which they were pawned.

A door opened dramatically and a pretty stewardess, leaning out handed a package to one of those below. Off went the plane majestically into the mild blue yonder. The package, closely guarded, was hustled into the airline office.

What was in the package? A serum to save a stricken child? Top secret state papers? Rough diamonds valued at None of these.
