TYPEWRITERS AND olhrr nfflra rnuipmrnf houaht ant r.ld. NETTLE OFFICE hQVlP. 37 Pearl Hi-b. 0535. A woman with three gold teeth, one set with a diamond, who with a male companion victimized Sylvia Greaves, 21, of 14 Oakburn Roxbury, of $325.

in the old "flim-flam' game on the Common yesterday, was being sought by Boston police lafst night. According to police, Miss Greaves was approached by a woman, about 46 years old, on School near City Hall, who said she had just arrived from Mississippi and wanted to know of a good bank to place her money. At that point a man came up and said he had just found a pocketbook containing $1200 and would split with them if they could produce enough money to prove they were responsible people. From there the two women went by cab to Miss Greaves' home for her bank book and thence to the bank to withdraw the money. On their return they met the man on the Common and turned over the money.

The gold-toothed woman also turned over a sum of money and after a conference she and her male companion left to check with his boss to see if it was right to divide the money. That was the last Miss Greaves saw of them. The man is described as being about 40 and wearing a dark shirt, dark blue pants and a chauffeur's hat.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 Henry A. Wallace cleaned out his desk at the Department of Commerce today, said goodbye to scores of employees at a two-hour open house, and let it be known that he was now a "private citizen" who would ponder his future in silenco during the next two weeks. Officers of the Democratic National Committee, whose speakers' bureau has withdrawn Mr. Wallace from its list of sponsored speakers for the national campaign, disclosed that requests for Wallace were still coming in.

Wallace, looking tired but mustering a grin, organized the cleaning out of his office files and watched armloads of letters 80 percent of them reportedly in support of his stand on foreign policy arriving with each mail delivery. Aids said 2500 pieces of Wallace "fan mail" had arrived by late Friday and 3000 more came in today. One man, a war veteran, wrote to Wallace from Mr. Truman's home town, Independence, expressing "hearty approval" of the former's Madison Square Garden speech. Two women wrote from Philadelphia that their strong hope is "that you will be President in M48."

A fiery retort came from Councilor Scannell when Councilor Bayley apologizing to William Stanley Parker, chairman of the city planning division, for recalling him, said that when Parker comes back before the body next Monday "the City Council will be on the Job." "Wait a minute, what do you mean?" shouted Scannell.

General Federation of Finance Workers after the French Govern Council Asks Veterans' Tuition Be Abolished An order asking the Boston School Committee to abolish a $6 weekly tuition charge against veterans studying at the High School of Commerce, was passed by the City Council yesterday after Councillor Edward C. Madden asserted the high school was the only one charging a fee. Madden, together with Councillor Edmund Lane, presented the order after asserting they were "outraged" that veterans be assessed such a charge. I Much of the church equipment also ment refused to consider demands for immediate pay increases.

The Government insisted that the finance workers would have to was stolen, including the wall Creek and Omaha. wait until completion of a survey on increases to be granted to an eovernment employees. The strike of Finance Ministry employees, including customs and immigration guards, led to a smug' clers' field day. Smugglers hauled huge loads of illegal goods into France openly. In addition to contraband goods millions of dollars in illicit gold and foreign money also were brought into the country and it was feared that the illegal money may cause great damage to currency control.

OP Ax Ruling Says WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 (AP) Candy bar selling for a nickel and a dime may shrink in size, the OPA said today as it allowed manufacturers to compute ceiling prices under a new system. Meanwhile a petition asking that price controls be lifted on flour was submitted to the Agriculture Department by the milling industry's 1 advisory committee to OPA. The. committee disagreed with recent finding by Secretary Anderson that wheat is in short supply.

It contended supplies are ample to meet all requirements and hence there need be no shortage of Hour. The agency also took these actions: Allowed users and holders of sirups and liquid sugar to use or dispose of old stocks without rationing. Raised prices on nail kegs and western softwood shingles. Upped ceiling prices 12 percent on innerspring mattresses sold directly to consumers by manufacturers, The new price rules on the five to 10-cent candy includes small packages of wafers, mints, caramels, fudges, gums, jellies and flavored hard candy tablets as well as candy bars. Manufacturers may either lift prices or reduce sizes, but OPA said most items will be smaller because of a desire to stay in the nickel and dime classes.
