Mystery Veils
Blood Splattered
Dancing Girl
Hollywood, Sept. 14 fU.W The
mystery of the barefoot dancing
girl, spattered with blood which was
not her own when found sobbing at
the gate of the B. R. Schulberg
moyle studio, embroiled Los Angeles
police today In a most vexing pre
dicament. Miss Laura Lee, red-haired, 21
years old, charged the officers with
confusing the offender with the of
fended. They arrested her, she said,
when they should have Jailed the
celebrated scenario writer she ac
cused of trying to attack her.
She hit him on the head with a
telephone, she added, thus explain
ing the blood splashed on her gay
slacks and blouse. Had police ar
rived only a couple of minutes ear
lier, she said, they would have found
her nude, except for the blouse,
which was twisted around her neck.
She said the author had taken her
to his luxurious offices on the sec
ond floor of the Spanish haclendo
like building which serves as head
quarters of the 8chulberg Produc
tion company, and there atarted to
rip off her clothing.
"Then he hit me on the head and
knocked me unconscious," she said.
"When I recovered consciousness, I
was nude and so was he.
"He tried to force his attentions
and I ran to the telephone and
called police. He started to struggle
with me. I hit him with the phone.
Blood spurted from his head. I ran
screaming downstairs, taking my
clothes with me."
Under an arc light on North
Bronson Avenue she pulled on her
underwear and her slacks and was
arranging her blouse, when officera
E. W. Smith and W. C. Burris ar
rived. The policemen charged Miss Lee
kicked them, injuring Burris so
severely he was forced to seek medi
cal aid.
"I only kicked him when he called
me a foul name." Miss Lee Insisted.
"Anyway I couldn't find my shoes
I was barefooted."

asserting that II Duce's legions oc
cupy merely "strategic points" In

Italian exploratory columns sent

The league assembly coincident

modification of the league covenant
in aome way that would bring in

In view of the "grave, tragic

Board Allows

Woshington. Sept. 14 'U.I!' The
social security board today allotted
Oregon (17.608 to expand Its state
employment services.
Director R. Gordon Wagenet of
the board's bureau of unemployment
compensation, explained the grant
was made necessary because the
state Is beginning to set-up admin
istrative machinery for benefit pay
ments beginning January 1 under
state unemployment compensation
laws.
The expansion Is one phase of the
proposed coordination of unemploy
ment compensation and employment
service here as well as In the state,
he said. The new duties will require
states to open additional offices
to provide networks of employment
centers, Wagenet added.

Three of the boats were said to

The undefended decks of the open

After their four-mile retirement
last night, the Chinese forces took

30 miles to the banks of the Yang

They appeared undaunted by the
strategic withdrawal which their
commanders explained was made to
afford better coordination of the
various Chinese units and to avoid
the heavy fire of Japanese warships.
The tenacious Chinese, who had
fought the Japanese advance to a
stand-still for almost five weeks, still

Hitler to Aid
Fight on Reds
Numbers. Germany, Sept. 14 (i
The third Retch's foreign policy
was aimed today by Relchsfuehrer
Hitler at Intervention "wherever
Bolshevism appears in Europe."
Such a policy, he told 16.000
cheering Nazis last night at the
closing of the eight-day party con
gress, is dictated by the "naked ne
cessity of sustaining the very life
of the German people."
The chancellor frankly admitted
Germany's aid to the Spanish In
surgents, and sought to Justify such
past and future intervention by a
bread-and-butter motive based on
the Reich's instinct for self-preservation.
Germany has no colonial empire,
he said, therefore Germany must
trade with other European countries
or perish. If the inroads of Bolshe
vism threaten that trade, he argued,
Germany Intends to Intervene.
"This exchange of goods is only
possible if these countries continue
to produce goods under well regu
lated normal conditions," Hitler con
tended. A discussion of the productive ca
pacity of a country like Russia "may
not Interest Great Britain," he went
on. "Perhaps It Is also a matter of
complete indifference toward Eng
land If Spain becomes a desert. . .
But for us Germans Europe as it Is
today is a prerequisite for our own
existence.
"We have neither the desire nor
the intention to become political
and economic hermits. But we cate
gorically refuse to be hooked up
with those whose scheme is the de
struction of Europe."

Mrs. Parsons
Died in Custody
Of Kidnapers
New York, Sept. 14 ttl.RI Benja
min Shiverts. an attorney, an
nounced today that federal agents
had in their possession evidence
Indicating that Mrs. Alice McDon
nell Parsons, missing since June 10,
died a month later In the custody
of her kidnapers.
8hlverta is counsel for Mrs. Anna
Kupryanova. Russian born house
keeper at the Parsons farm. He
said that the agents had letters
from the abductors admitting the
society woman is dead and that
they have disposed of the body.
Shiverts said a brooch, known to
have been worn by Mrs. Parsons
when a msn and women Induced
her to enter their car at Stony
Brook, N. Y has been sent to the
federal agents, as proof the letters
are genuine. The missives were
postmarked Elizabeth, N. J . and
Newark. N. J.
One of the letters allegedly said
that Mrs. Parsons had been kept
prisoner on Long Island and died
from pneumonia.
Earl J. Connelley. Inspector In
charge of government work on the
case, refused to comment on the
story.
Mrs. Parsons, who Is listed In the
social register, disappeared from
her husband's squab farm near
Stony Brook. Long Island. June 9.
She was not missed until 8:30 p. m..
and It was not until 1:30 a. m., the
following day that police found a
ransom note In her automobile,
parked near the house.
Russia Closes
Jap Consulates
Moscow, Sept. 14 (U.R) Russia, In
a surprising note, withdrew all
recognition today from two key
Japanese consulates In the Soviet
Union.
One of the consulates affected Is
at Odessa, chief Russian port on
the Black sea. The other Is at
Novo Slblrsk, an Important railroad
Junction on the vital Trans-Siberian
railroad along which Russia. In
a war with Japan, would send men
and munitions to far eastern fronts.
Withdrawal of recognition Is ef
fective at midnight today, so that
there was no time for further ar
gument. There have been a long series of
Russian-Japanese Incidents which
have had statesmen expecting an
explosion for mmths. Action came
immediately upon announcement
of the conclusion of a Russian-
Chinese non-aggression treaty, in
Itself a slap at Japan. Japanese
have suspicions the treaty contains
secret military and political clauses.
Russia took Its new action on the
ground that Japan has eight con
sulates In the Soviet Union while
Russia had only six in Japan. This.
It was pointed out. does not con
form to the exchange of notes of
1928 providing for equal consular
representation.
Willamette Wants
Old Posfoffice
There Is a prospect. It became
known today, that the old postoffice
building, soon to be moved, will be
taken to Willamette university cam
pus. The suggestion has been made by
local people that the building be
used either as a museum or a hall
of science.
The possibility has not yet reach
ed a tangible point, and negotiations
are not really under way, but the
Hoffman Construction company,
builders of the new postoffice. are
looking for someone to take the
building off their hands and no def
inite proposal Is pending.

geted for janitor service of about

Another bit of business which
should be taken up for considera
tion Is the matter of Issuing teach
ers' contracts. This formality has
been held up pending the report of
the auditors who checked over the
district's books. This report has
been available for almost two weeks.
Since virtually all teachers are un
der tenure, there Is little necessity
for Issuing contracts.
Transferring J. C. Nelson from
the social science department at
Salem high to a newly created posi
tion of registrar will probably be
taken up tonight. Whether Profes

to advance teachers In the aystem

expect, waa also resulting In some
confusion.
Auto drivers generally were quick
to adjust themselves to the new
system, although some evidenced
misunderstanding of the regula
tions, continuing to make right-
hand turns against the red lights
and falling to give right-of-way to
foot traffic when making right and
left turns across pedestrian lanes.
Police were warning them that
the red light displayed on the
standard directly opposite them
across the street means stop,
whichever direction they Intend to
turn.
Motor vehicles have the right-of-
way over pedestrians only when
proceeding straight ahead before
green signal.
Another angle bothering police
was the growing tendency of pe
destrians to "Jaywalk" across streets
between Intersections to avoid being
delayed by the corner signals.
thereby creating a serious traffic
hazard that has already resulted In
several near-accidents. Lack of any
penalty In the city's present "Jay.
walking" ordinance leaves the po
lice powerless to enforce It effect

Chief of Police Frank Mlnto today
asked the indulgence and coopera

"Until everyone has become ac
customed to the new system and we
are able to suppress Jay-walking we
are requesting motorists to drive
slowly and exercise the greatest
care even when they are conform

right-of-way." said Chief Mlnto.
Yesterday afternoons experience

this situation Chief Mlnto today

Strike for Closed
Shop Held Legal
Newark. N. J., Sept. 14 (Pi Vice
Chancellor John Q. Bigelow today
upheld the legality of a strike for a
closed shop sought by a labor union
i a "protective measure.
In a decision permitting a ttnka
and "peaceable picketing" at a Ne
wark electro-plating plant, he con
tracted a "protective" strike and
one which aimed to "create a mono
poly of labor."
Bigelow said he assumed that In
the latter category fell the July
ruling of Vice Chancellor Maja
Leon Berry that a closed shop con
tract was Illegal. Berry's decision
aroused widespread criticism in New
Jersey labor unions and 40 CIO and
AFL units Joined in the formation
of a labor's antl-lnjunctlon league
to fight It by appeal.
Berry, In granting an Injunction
against a strike and picketing by
seven A. F. of L. unions, said:
"It seems strange that at this lata
day It should be necessary to repeat
that a strike which has for its ob
ject the 'closed shop' Is unlawful.
and that a contract providing for
the closed shop Is illegal and unen
forceable." ,
