Couple Attacked, Beaten to Death NEW YORK, April 20.—(AP) — An estranged father and husband was found slain at Garden City, Long Island, today beside his fa tally wounded young woman com panion, whose lips were sealed with adhesive tape. The man was Ed ward B. Brinker Jr., 35, a sign painter. On an envelope attached j to a stick a few inches from his j head were written his name and address. Miss Rose J. Welk, 24, a sten ographer, was found beside him, unconscious from a blow which had tom her skull open. The clothing of both victims were soiled with dirt. Miss Welk died soon after S being taken to a Nassau hospital. Brinker had been beaten and stabbed. The assailants had struck the pair down in open field, only a few feet from a lane used by automo biles. The ground was tom up, in dicating a struggle but the envel ope containing Brinker’s name and address was the only apparent clue. Hot Baum Case Clue Turns Cold, Cops Chagrined State police and a local officer yesterday found the car which left the tread-marks on the paper dropped by Ann Baum when she was struck down Monday night by a hit-and-run driver. The car, with tires identical to that which police had been seek ing for two days, was a tan Ford coupe, had a dented fender and a cut on one of the tires. It was parked near the College Side inn. Officer Jerry Hoyt and a state policeman watched it superstiti ously for half an hour, hoping to nab the culprit when he should start to drive off in it. Students, sensing the tense situ ation, began to cluster about un obtrusively, to be in at the kill. And then the owner appeared! Anti-climax! It was Ferd Fletcher, varsity swimmer and president of the Phi Delt house, the man who had jumped into his car after the accident and pur sued the hit-and-run driver until he lost the fleeing car in the dark ness. Fletcher's car, passing over the scene shortly after the other, had left the tread marks on which the police were pinning so much faith.

Since the students were unable to see Miss Swafford and compare her with the other candidates, the Emerald takes the liberty of pre^ senting this description, gleaned from various sources: Very attractive brunette, hair slightly wavy; tall and slender; graceful carriage, patrician bear ing; blue eyes, dark lashes; regu lar features, of a type probably best described as Grecian; and a pleasing personality.

Three W hite Mule Candidates Answer Dark Horse9 Plea 1 'Tiro-Hour Working Day For Milk-Fad Athletes Cries Potter By JOSHUA LITTLE With the flipping of a coin, three slightly off-color dark horses chose their presidential candidate for the coming A, S. U. O. elections last night and cast their somewhat besmirched derbies into the campus political ring. Cliff Potter, self-appointed chair man of the mill race observatory committee, heads the new combine. Johnny Londahl, campus daven port shiek, having lost to Potter when the coin was flipped, is the vice-presidential candidate. “Red” Wilson, rumble seat king, is the third member of the draft-liorse trio, and is running for Senior Man. Declaring that campus politics needed new life and some clearly defined issues, the hard-thinking trio made a firm stand for “shorter hours and better working condi tions for athletes.” Feeling that the living conditions and morale of the campus should be greatly improved, the Three Horsemen are advocating: “Abol ishment of street lights in Hen dricks park;” “Re-forestation of the Mill Race;” and “An Open Door Policy for Sorority Houses.” r The new political juggernaut also announced that no appoint ments would be made outside of their immediate families. It is re ported that inimical persons are wondering if there will be enough jobs to go around. Other platform planks are: "Im mediate Installation of Preferred Pledging," “Varsity letter wards ! for ping pong players,” and "Larg ■ or and warmer rumble seats for muscle-bound athletes.” In a lengthy interview, during | which we consumed many cups of . beverage coffee- the Ethiopian I Trio confided their far-reaching ideals. Truly, your little reporter was deeply moved by the magnifi cence of their altruism. Potter, in his official statement to the press, stated that he con sidered as his main qualification, the fact that he was NOT chair man of CHRISTMAS REVELS and NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COLONIAL ROUT. (The "caps” were introduced as his own request.) Hank Heyden, old-time political boss on the campus, will head the Charge of the Black Horse Bri gade as campus manager. Heyden announced that all fi jnancial contributions will be re | ceived with hilarious shouts and | tears of joy. He stated that food would also be acceptable. Saturday Paper To Be Published By Women Alone Sleele Chosen Staff Head, Wentz Managing Editor, Ballantyne on Desk The appearance of the women’s edition of the Emerald has been definitely set for Saturday, April 23.

This year marks the third anni versary of competition between the men’s and women’s staffs. The two special editions are judged by George Turnbull, professor of jour nalism, and other members of the faculty. Workers on the losing sheet entertain the winning jour nalists with a party and feet at the shack.” The women were victorious last year and are confident of being en tertained by their male competi tors again this spring.
