Brungard, director of Parks and Recreation, said. The plan Is simply to replant the, trees. This must be done within 10 to 15 days, Mrs. Brungard said, and then the trees must be given special care. The job will require the rental of special equipment, Mrs.

In the first 11 days of February there were 30 burglaries in the unincorporated areas of the county and a small number of municipalities patrolled by St. Louis County Police.

Twenty-four homes and six business houses were burglarized. Police said this is far above the average number of burglaries for such a period. 2 RINGS OPERATING At least two burglary rings are Operating, police said. One ring takes nothing but cash. The other ring specializes in household appliances, ranging from toasters to television sets.

The soaring rate of burglaries in the county was pointed out by The Globe-Democrat in a series of articles earlier this month. Col. Raymond Hensley, superintendent of County Police, announced yesterday that a number of uniformed patrol officers will be required to overtime as plainclothesmen in an effort to combat the rash of burglaries; These officers in plainclothes will patrol areas where burglaries have been most troublesome, he said. Lt. H.

C. Birmes, head of the County Police detective bureau, said his men are working 10 to 15 hours a day in making investigations of burglaries. He said be believes that a majority of the burglaries in the county are being committed by burglars from St. Louis who are becoming more aware that the county police force is spread so thinly. Col.

Hensley said the best protection against burglaries is a strong uniformed 'force which can do an effective job of patrolling streets and alleys. REQUEST REJECTED A request by Col. Hensley for 25 more men and 8 more automobiles in the 1959 budget was turned down by former County Supervisor Luman F. Matthews. The budget, now in tentative form, still is to be acted upon by the County Council.

Another handicap in combatting blirglaries and othe, crimes in the county is the lack of a central reporting system. There is no county-wide system for all the various municipal police departments to report crimes to a central information point. An example cited was a burglary last Saturday in the Village of St. George. Deputy Marshal Walter Theleman of St.

George was patroling Continued on Page 9 Rings Operating, Police Theorize A wave of burglaries in St. Louis County is continuing, a Globe-Democrat check of records revealed yesterday.

11Senator Symington today urged the Interior Department to advance the scheduled completion date of St- Louis' Jefferson Memorial project by one yearto the spring of 1963. The department, In the first work timetable it has made public, put the windup at about June 30, '1964. This was in a letter Senator Symington Missouri, received today from Assistant Secretary Roger Ernst. In a quick reply, the Senator said "We are very anxious to have this project fully completed in tim for celebrations planned for 1963 and 1964. For this reason, completion of the work should be scheduled for no later than the spring of 1963." 'CREATING JOBS Mr.

Symington also reminded Secretary Ernst that "St. Louis is a substantial labor surplus area," and any speedup in the project would be welcomed for creating jobs. The year 1963 will be the 160th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase by Thomas Jefferson. The next year will mark the 200th birthday of St. Louis.

Secretary Ernst raised a call, tion even about completing thEt. national expansion memorial by 1964. Twice in his letter he warned that future presidential requests for more project money will be subject to "the budgetary and fiscal. situation." FINANCES During the remainder of President Eisenhower's administration public works expenditures like those for the Jefferson Memorial are likely to be given a careful going over as part of 'his economy drive. Secretary Ernst estimated that the federal share of the total project costs will be $16,000,000.

Sam C. Olmstead, former chief of the weather section at the corps' Air Defense Filter Center, 9011 Manchester Brentwood, yesterday declared that trained observers at the center probably would have spotted the tornado. The twister hit at Manchester and Brentwood boulevard, one block east of the center, before cutting a devastating swath through the heart of St.

Louis. SPENT THREE YEARS "The St. Louis Ground Observers have spent three years tracking storms through here, both by radar and observers itt the field," Mr. Oirr3tead pointed out. "When there was great storm activity in the area, we would have observers posted round the clock at the center.

They almost certainly would have seen this tornado and would have given warning." he said. Mr. Olmstead estimated that the storm, moving at about 25 miles an lour, struck at Manchester and Brentwood 20 minutes before it hit Boyle avenue and Olive street. "There's a question about how much good the warning would have done at that hour of the morning (2:15 o'clock), but I believe it might have helped," he commented.

"But we still may have some excitement," he added.

At least, he thought he closed up. Police cruising in the neighborhood at 1:30 a. m. yesterday noticed the front eoor standing open. Investigating, they found a gas jet burning on the kitchen range and two exhaust fans whirring; but nobody on the premises.

Further checking led to the discovery that two coin-operated machines, a pinball game and a juke box had been broken open and the contents taken. About $6 was missing, Mr. Barret determined later. There was no sign of forced entry, police said. "I don't know if I left the door open and the gas on or not," Mr.

Barrett said. The stork wasn't talking. In any event, no one can accuse it of being a stool pigeon. wttl Aids 1 The stork wi accessory in a glary on Wedne covered yesterd Notified that birth to a boy Hospital, Frank tor of Helen's Cs closed ut ahead of time line for the ME 6:30 p. m.
