Spring Scene And here’s what happened to Sidney (Shimmy) Shales last April. Shimmy was on the lam from a federal indictment linking him to 14 Lepke-ites. Early in the evening he was sauntering up Fifth Avenue when a bullet plowed into his thigh. The marksman then bent over him, jammed his gun against Shimmy’s temple and fired four more shots. None of the hundred who crowded around the corpse would say he had seen the killer. And Shimmy couldn’t.

If you see an air-raid warden carrying a stick like this – which happens to be a sawed-off billiard cue – or a police billy, tell the Police Dept. at once. Wardens are not allowed to arm themselves. And don’t be misled by the statements of the Brooklyn wardens who carry these clubs. They say they’re an “anti-mugging patrol” guarding subway stations and escorting unattended women home from them. But there’s no crime wave in Brooklyn.

Coney Island At Noon Saturday: The crowd came later, according to Weegee, who wanted a photo that showed some beach and not too many people. The masked man said he was a laundry man, but would only be photographed incognito. The mask is a gag of his; he calls himself the Spider, and likes to frighten people. Weegee didn’t get the names and addresses of the others in the photo, either.

“One of the these days things will get better,” she sighed. “They’ll get better for everybody. We’ll all have a chance to eat and sleep in peace. I just know it will come about. It will take a long time, but it will come about. It won’t be in my lifetime, though. Oh, no, I’ll never profit by it.” PM, 1945.
