MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 10-(iqp)-The
ravished body of a movie-sick
schoolgirl was found in a swamp
today and police said her murder
was confessed by a glib man of
many names whd enticed her

fame. :
Tragedy swiftly displaced un
certainty today in an investiga
tion begun Monday when Ruth
Frances Dunn, 17, and Jean Boi
tQ3, 19, failed! to returned to
their Miami homes after start
ing for Palm each with a hand
some "talent scout" who called
himself Charles R. Jefferson.
Shortly before dawn, blonde
Miss Bolton stumbled into a fire
station at Boca Raton, between
here and Palm . Beach, and told
dazedly of - being held captive
since Monday.
Near collapse from shock, Miss
Bolton aided officers in locating
the tall, blond Jefferson and he
was arrested while he ' walked,
unarmed, along a main highway
north of Boca Raton.
Body Near Auto
Then .the sobbing girl-led of
ficers to Jefferson's stalled auto
mobile on a lonely beach trail
and near it was found the nude
body of Miss Dunn. The brunette
beauty had been attacked and
- hnriv beaten. Hpr hnriv and ttirnot
were deenlv stabbed and a sinrlAi ATf- nTi Dnin?A 4-v Vnn TiVv I
hnllet had plereed rfer head. ""' yxwixxi
Detective Lieutenant E. W.
Melchen said Jefferlbn admitted
he abducted the girls and killed
Miss Dunn when she cried out
against his assaults and "would
not do wart I told her to."
Near Hysterics, Miss Bolton
- was returned to her Miami home
and Dlaced "under a Dhvsician's
care. The pretty radio and night
club singer said Jefferson did not
molest her although she was kept
tied. Her lips showed bruises.
Murder Charge Filed
A tuiuuci B JU1JT IUUUU JUUB
a murder charge was filed against
him.
A curious - crowd assembled
soon after Jefferson, clad in dark
shorts and sports shirt, ' was
lodged in the West Palm Beach
Jail but this group melted away
without threat. Tonight, however,
a. second crowd was reported
forming and the unshaven pris
oner, was hurried to another Jail,
: presumably Miami's skyscraper
cells
"There's a crowd gathering
downtown (in West Palm Beach)
and they want to kill 'this fel
low," County Solicitor W. E. Roe
buck said.
-Jefferson-moodily denied any
intention to harm , the Miami
schoolgirls and "indicated his
willingness to plead guilty to any
charges, adding:
"What have I to live for?. The
sooner It comes the better.''

Traffic . Fatality
; Record Improved
' . Showing a 18 per cent decrease
In the. number of traffic deaths
compared to the corresponding
month a year ago, July, was the
i fourth consecutive month to show
'an improvement in this respect,
Earl Snell, secretary of state, said
yesterday,..
The decrease , Is the more en
couraging in -that it was accom
plished In the face of a five per
cent Increase in travel.
The July traffic toll was 30 per
sons killed, compared to 31 for the
same month a year ago.
There were - four--pedestrians
killed, one of them the victim of
a hit-and-run driver. Motorcycle
accidents took the lives et two,

Only a Fourth-Rater, so Tacomans
Want to Stretch It 11 Feet Higher
TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 10. (AP) -The chamber of
commerce announced plans today to do something about Mt.
Rainier, the Pacific northwest's great peak, which was de
moted this week to fourth place in the list of the nation's
highest mountains.
They're going to send an expedition up the 14,408-foot
mountain to roll up a snowball or
something and add . another 11
feet to the top all that it needs
to regain its former place as third
highest peak.
The national park service re
ported last Tuesday lit had gone
out and measured a hill over In
Colorado known as Mt. Massive
and found it to be 14,418 feet
hlxh. 10 feet taller than Rainier
and thus the third highest.
The depressing news Rainier
is a fourth-rater was enough to
make Tacoma's blood run cold.
The rest of the state hadn't ex
pected such goings on because for
generations Tacoma eltlsens
thought Rainier was nothing more
than some little foothill malicious
ly created by the Seattle chamber
of commerce, that nearby moun
tain Is known here as Mt Taco
ma. Not Rainier.
The park service tried to whee
dle citizens into a state of inact
ive complacency, by recalling that
ML Rainier (or Tacoma) had the
greatest single glacial system In
the country, etc., etc., (free adv.)
bt it didn't work.
"Within the next few days i
narty of Tacoma mountaineers
will climb the summit," t. a.
Stevenson, general manager of the
Tacoma chamber said, "and build
a cairn or roll up a huge snowball
or do something that will give the
mountain the needed extra -height.
We are not entirely familiar
with what materials are available
at the sr mit, bnt we are prepar
ing to take action Immediately,
he said.
No one seemed to know wheth
er the park service would take of
ficial recognizance of a man-made
tip on ML Rainier (Tacoma), bu
Tacoma maintains the premise
that any superstructure would be
as good as the mountain Itself
provided It were made of the same
materials.
On theltecord
By DOROTHY THOMPSON
(Continued from Page 6)
no matter what the condition of
business is, for the credit of the
state is good as long as the peo
ple have confidence in it, and the
investment is worth while as long
as it maintains and Improves the
common estate, which is the na
tion and the soil it lives on.
The Idea that the state should
retrench - because business is re
trenching is not defensible in the
simplest common sense. The
time for the- state to create debts
is w h e n private enterprise will
not create them. But to create a
debt for the organization of dis
content is to create a debt which
wUl go on increasing indefinitely
and can never be liquidated auto
matically but only by radical po
litical measures. It it; to. create
a debt not for preserving the' so
cial order but for disintegrating
it, . - -
This Is why the Issue Is never
merely of whether to spend or
not to spend but of-how and un
der, what .conditions- to spend.
with careful attention to the-in
evitable repercussion on the so
cial order.
AH that has been expended by
the WPA could have been expend
ed enormously to the benefit of
the community as a whole,-pro
vided it had been expended
through channels, whereby mil
lions of persons would not have
become direct wards of the gov
ernment, with a special and pe
culiar status which the state be
comes committed to preserve and
improve as a natural "right."

ROME, Aug. 10..-(P-FoTelgn
circles" looked tonight to Italy to
urge., upon' Germany a peaceful
settlement of her claims to the
free city of Danzig, former Ger
man territory.
ninlomats exneeted that For
eign Minister Count Galeazzo Ci-I
anno would advise against any ac
tion concerning Danzig that might
lead to war when he meets Ger
man Foreign Minister Joachim
Von Ribbentrop in conference to
morrow in Salzburg. .1 !
It was reported In foreign cir
cles that Germany promised she
would risk no war over Danzig
when the Italian-German military j
aUiance was signed last May and
there was considerable speculation
whether Von Ribbentrop would be
urged now by Count Ciano to ad
here to that engagement. :
Ciano Quits Rome
Count Ciano left Rome tonight
for the talks as fascists expressed
a belief the Danzig question was
approaching a crucial stage.
The two foreign ministers were
expected to review the. Danzig
question thoroughly, as weU as
the possibility of Japan's Joining
the Italian-German military aUi
ance and the relationship of Hun
gary, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia to
the Rome-Berlin Axis.
The Italian press, along with
that of Germany, kept Danzig In !
the headlines, with La Tribuna de
claring there was "Mad Language
In Warsaw" and II Lavoro Fs-
clsta asserting the Germans had
given "fresh warning to the ner
vous debility ef Warsaw."
II Regime Fasclsta that "If Po
land intends to bring an end to its
day It has set forth upon the sure
road."
Yugoslavia was believed In di
plomatic circles to be causing the
axis powers some concern because
of her determination to preserve
strict neutrality.
