The strip, which appears in some 350 papers, has been showing a gang of teen-age hoodlums at work yanking up meters and taking them to a remote spot to rifle them. Tracy's creator, Chicago Tribune Cartoonist Chester Gould, pleaded not guilty. Said he: "Most of the crimes that old Dick Tracy contends with are as old as police history itself.

Born three years ago in the moribund New York Star* Pogo has multiplied himself with possumly precocity, and currently appears in 210 U.S. newspapers. Cartoonist Walt Kelly has now collected the best-known adventures of Pogo into a book which all but filled Santa's pouch with little marsupials. In fact, during the month of December, Pogo has been the fastest-selling book...
