SANTA MONICA, Calif., Mar. 1, (AP)—Folks breathed easier today around a city elementary school where yesterday two youngsters appeared for classes, dangling from their belts two live hand grenades, taken from their father's collection of war trophies.
"Are those things explosive?" demanded Mrs. Jennie Sharp, teacher, as Patrick Nicholson, 6, and his brother, Michael, 4, approached with the grenades hanging from the firing rings.
"Sure," replied Patrick. "It's a really truly hand grenade. I got it from my dad."
Promptly but carefully, the weapons were taken from the youngsters and delivered to the police who headed out in the ocean in a rowboat and dropped them overboard.
