This Week.
IkSONlMY of this week there was
a rumor that Bruno Haupt
mann had confessed. At the end
of the week this report seems un
founded and the Incident has drop
ped from sight In the newspapers.
Bruno wilt probably die next
month and the famous case will
be orflciully ended. The memory
of the crime will live for many
years in the memory of the peo
ple. As the January session of con
gress neurs the veterans' bonus
agu'ln appears prominently in the
news. Senator Uyrns and Senator
Stclwer v.-ill Introduce a bill for
the cash payment of the bonus In
1938. Tho bill will contain no
rubber currency financing propos
al or other objectionable features,
those senators stato, and they be
lieve therefore Unit tho bill will
puss both houses und not only will
puss in tho first pluco but will bo
ridden over tho president's veto.
It really mukes very iitllo differ
ence In money whether theso
bonus certificates ure paid in
1938 or in 1945 when they are due
Under the provlous luw. They will
bo puid, so why not puy them
sooner than Inter and get the
Inonoy into publlo circulation?
This wook Baw two major de
Velopmonls in the Itullan Ethio

out by the league of nalioiiB coun

was tho ucllvo rusistuueo of tho

Previously tho Italians huvo murch

they hntl railed to achieve tholr

In tho news of crime, this week
t-cuorded u kidnaping and return
(without ransom) o( a weulthy Now
York youth. Tho Cl-men are hot
on tho trull of tho snatchcrs. The
most startling und lori-lblo news
of tho week was tho hilling In Loa
Angeles of slit relief workers by
u man who run nmnck with a blub
power rifle. Not a crime, appar
ently, hut trugndy, was tho sudden
death of Thelina Touit, movie uc
tit'HS on Monday.
Tho big political development of
tho week wus the nunounrnmcnt
of Senator Willlum E. llmiili, of
, Idaho, that ho would uccept the
lopuhllcun nominal ion for presl-
tleut but would Insist upon a "lib

portant news iu tho political world
was tho decision of tho republicans
to hold their nominating conven

In dismay, He was studying the

"I'll give my story lo the pa

hysteria. "My story on top ot

"See here!' Mrs. Standrlng
spoke, coldly, incisively. "How
much money do you want?"
"Money!" sneered Julie, magni
ficently. "I don't want your filthy

"Woll, well!" Bald Lit den, nms

"It's too bad," he went on gent

Julie wan silent, twisting her
handkerchief unhappily.
" "Han't us if there, was anything

"Ye-es," said Julie unhappily.
"Too bad about it all," dghed
Uielen. "This part fits you like

There whs a long puuso. Then
Julie burst out.

Her sport hat was drawn over her
exhausted eyes, and the big collar
of her coat turned up. People sat
up as she passed, glanced curious

of the ship. They had all been
twittering about how "too awfully
bad it was for a bride to be sea

bohrd who was, except for a cou
pie of timid old ladies who thought
they must be seasick as this was

The bride's tall graceful form,

their curiosity. . . . "Yes, she did

ENTERS TODD CASE
Inquiry Into Ex-Actress'
Death Brings Out New
Leads for Officers.
LOS ANGEMvS, Dec. 2U. (AP)
A bizarre kidnap warning re
ceived by the head waiter at the
cfo where Thelma Todd danced
at her last party injected new mys
tery today into the puzzle of the
screen actress' death.
The report of the abduction
threat came as the county grand
jury prepared to Investigate evi
dence which the foreman, George
W. Rochester, said strongly Indi
cated Miss Todd was slain. -
Alex Hounie, who served the
Trocadero- table at which Miss
Todd dined Saturday night us
guest of Stanley Luplno, English
comedian, and his wife, told police
two men forced his' car into the
curb last night and shouted:
"You've had your warning, s
take it easy."
Hounie produced a postcard
which he had received through
the mails. Newspapers had been
clipped to make the message:
"Head waiter, Trocadero, I-os
Angeles, falir. Withhold testi
mony or kidnap trip."
Capt. Maine Steed ordered a
guard for ilounle's home and sent
the card to be examined by finger
print experts.
louuie knows nothing about
the case, and has nothing to con
ceal," said Captain Steed.
A theory of "murder by monox
ide," which became the focal point
of the grand jury a investigation,
was evolved from the maze of un
explained circumstances that pre
ceded the finding of Miss Todd
dead last Monday morning.
Her body wns slumped behind
the steering wheel of her big phae
ton in a seuside garage. An In
quest called her death from car
bon monoxide "probably accident
al," but recommended further in
vestigation.
Anita Hammond, hat check girl
at the Trocadero, told police Miss
Todd made a telephone call from
the ladies' lounge of the restau
rant Saturday night at 11:45. The
actress was very anxious 'that no
one overhear her, she said.
Detectives conjectured whether
the call may have had anything to
do with Miss Todd's sudden change
of mood fcom gayety to morose ab
straction as reported by Arthur
Prince, a guest at the party.
Ex-Husband Called
A request was sent to Miss
Todd's former husband, Pasquale
Dl Cicco, now In New York, for
his appearance when the grand
jury hearings open Monday. Other
film colony notables, who had seen
the blond comedienne in her last
hours of life,- ulso were sum
moned. t; Rochester saijd, "We"? are not
pointing the finger of suspicion at
anyone. We are anxious to learn
from Mr. Di Cicco whether there
was anything In Miss Todd's life
that might lead him to believe she
was murdered."
The wealthy sportsman, who was
divorced from the actress in 1!:I4
after a two year marriage, left
Los Angeles by airplane tne day
after the body was found. Although
not a member of Miss Todd's party
Di Cicco visited the cafe Trocadero
Saturday night.

' l believe the principles of tne
Townsend plan are sound," Rep.
White Bafd at a Townsend club
meeting in a rural community near
here last night. "I am for the Town-
send plan, win or lose.
"The plan not only provides a
liberal allowance to the old people
for their support," he said, "but
goes farther and will compel a
speeding up of business and money
velocity which will be of great ben
efit to the people as a whole."
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 21
The Townsend plan for old age
relief was injected today in an
apparent "free for all"; race to un

rict in next year's democratic pri
mary. Although Lewey Robinson, as

pension measure, the Jefferson

to have ubout six helpings of

I'm ready to nibble around at any
thing that happens to be in my
reach. The doctor says that I may
have a tape-worm but 1 don't think
so. Tape-worms don't like pump-
Kin pie and 1 always crave It.
My boys were watchinc me last
night at dinner and I guess I was
putting away the usual portion.

ADVISE8 PRUNE GROWERS
TO MAINTAIN FIRM 6TANO
Roseburg, Dec. 18, 19f5.
Editor News-Heilew: Following
a conversation with Mr. Harding
in regard to the prune situation in
Douglas county and the other
prune districts of Oregon, I am
writing you, by his suggestion,
with the idea that perhaps you
might use some part of this in
some suggestion or editorial to
growers.
As you probably know the price
of ' prunes ia deplorably low, so
much so that prune growers are
In a bad way financially. Ut
course various things enter into
the reasons (or this low price,
such as loss of moat of the export
outlet, curtailment of the buying
power of many potential prune
users throughout the mid-west and
the east, etc. Those are things be
yond control ot the growers ot
Oregon, However, the growers are
to blame for part of the extreme
difference iu price between Ore
gon prunes and those of Califor
nia. That difference is from ia
to lie per pound, while normally
ftc below California Is all that is
asked by brokers. This extreme
price difference between Califor
nia and Oregon is caused by the
over anxiety or Oregon growers
recently to dispose of their fruit
on a slow market. The crop ill
both states was large. Naturally
it will take a long period to move
same into consumption. If tbe Ore
gon growers will be patient and
not get Jittery there is reason to
hope that this large crop can be
cleaned up without too much loss
by the growers.
Right now the Oregon price has
been forced down Jc by this action
of growers.
1 attended a meeting Monday ot
the North Pacific Coop. Prune
Exchange and know whereof 1
speak.
Whether you can use this in any
way is for you to say, but it the
Idea could be put across to tho
unfortunate prune man at thiB time
it might in some small way help
a bad situation.
Yours very truly,
D. N. BUSENBARK.
