LOS ANGELES. Dec 27. (AP
The Greek letters used In the
word "Death" which headed Wil
liam E. Hickman's threatening ran
sora letters, were obtained from a
Greek language book In the pub
lic library. The confessed kidnaper
and murderer of Marian Parker
said today he went there in search
of a high sounding phrase for the
sensational portrayal of his death
threat to Perry Parker, father of
the slain girt
Hickman said he searched sev
eral foreign and ancient language
books before hitting upon the idea
of using 'Greek letters. He de
clared that he nerer belonged to
any Greek letter fraternity.
The guard who sits constantly
in front of Hickman's cell will be
changed each eight hours, the ail
officials said. '
la view of this constant guard,
the authorities said there was no
chance of a successful suicide at
tempt by the prisoner. They also
attach little importance to the re
port of a Jail trusty that prisoners
had plotted to beat Hicbman to
death with clubs improvised from
broom handles. The guard would
make impossible the carrying out
of such a plot, the officials said.

Residents of North Salem to
night will tell city dads why the
garbage disposal plant should not
be located in North Salem.
Chairman W. H. Dancy with his
two fellow- committee members.
W. W. Rosebraugh and Roy Sim
eral. at the same time, will at
tempt to convince the Holly wood
ltes that the Oregon Electric grav
ites that the Oregon Electric
gravel pit is an ideal site for the
incinerator.
The meeting, a general round
up of North Salem citizens, will be
held at St. Vincent de Paul parish
on Myrtle avenue, at 7:30 o'clock.
There Is no indication that the
outcome of the evening's argu
ment will be any different from
that which resulted after the In
dignation meeting in Southeast
Salem last fall.
Both sides, likely, will come out
of the heated session holding the
same views as before.
Members of the Incinerator com
mlttee. indicate that it will take a
powerful lot of argument to sway
them from recommending the
gravel pit site at the next council
meeting. The burner must be lo
cated somewhere, or the -city dump
perpeuated. No one wants the
city dump to be continued, and
yet. the garbage must be disposed
of, somehow. After several
months of investigation, the com
mittee has decided on the gravel
pit site, and is not now considering
any other site seriously.
At the meeting tonight Dr. E
A.- C. Smith, president of the Hol
lywood community club, probably
will be chairman.
In addition to the incineratoi
committee members, Aldermar
Thomson and Wenderoth, repre
sentatives of the people, in that
ward, will be present.
