They will sec a stumpy, marmoreal little man, with a shock of silver hair ana a coniuseu manner, which suggests that, after a long training In the purelleus of small time politics, he has never got used to the eminence of high office. A blind white crawfish, torn from the dark depths of Mammoth cave, would react to the light In the same vague, unhappy fashion. As Harding's. Coolldgo's, and Hoo ' ver's secretary of labor, he did noth ing more memorable than recruiting members for his favorite fraternal or ganization, the Moose. As senator, lie haa never done or said anything of the least Importance. He Is still so In expert that, even In order to get something In the congressional rec ord, he often has to call for help from minority leader Charles L. Mc Nary. Yet the chances now are that the great state of Pennsylvania will elect him senator for another term. Only a few months ago, no one would have bet a cent on the pud dler. The Guffey-Earle organization was riding high In Pennsylvania, and the Republican party's angels. Joe Pew, Ernest Weir and Joe Grundy, considered the puddler a radical be cause of his occasional labor votes. Grundy, the broken-down tariff lobbyist, trotted out State Senator G. Mason Owlett as his candidate. The word went "round that the Sun Oil company dollars of Pew and the Na tional Steel dollars of Weir were to be lavished on the obedient Owlett. The puddler actually thought of with drawing from the race. Forttinately for him, he opened his heart to his colleague, Joe Guffey. The now busted - sntrap of Pennsylvania told the pud- dler that he'd better Btrlng along. "Stick with It," he said. "You'll get the nomination, and that's some thing, snyway." Sure enough.

NEW ROHELLE. N. T.. May 30. (AP) The long search for kidnaped 12-year-old Peter Levlne a search of three tragic montha during which one clue after another came to noth ing ended last night In the discov ery of the boy's headless body on the shore of Long Island Sound, Ransom notes had been found and answered; Murray Levine, the father, had publicly offered to pay 30.000. There was no conclusive answer from the abductors, and the whole case of missing Peter Levlne had been all but forgotten until, Just after dusk last night, a woman telephoned the police: "There's a body out here!" Name In Shirt . They found, then, what was left of Peter Levlne a wire-bound torso only, the head gone, the hands and feet gone, and only a patched -sleeved sweater, a red windbreaker and a shirt, with the name "Peter Levlne" stitched In it, to make the ldcnUfica tion certain. The body had come ashore on an estate bordering the urnnd not far from the boy's home. Dr. Amos O. Squire, Westchester county medical examiner, said It would be almost Impossible to tell just what had caused Peter's death knife, blow or drowning but added that his preliminary examination In dicated the boy had been slain and hU body tossed into the sound. Dr. Squire and his assistants took every possibility into account. Dr. Robert Latelner. assistant city phy sician of New Rochelle, said one of the first medical testa ordered. -.wavtA" see whether poison might have been a factor In death. Clearly Murder Toxic traces, he pointed out. might last In a body Indefinitely. "This," aald District Attorney Wal ter Ferris, "Is a clear case of murder." High-ranking agents of the federal bureau of Investigation went to work immediately, with J. Edgar Hoover, its chief, who was In New York, tak ing charge of the Investigation. Murray Levlne. Peter's father, a New York lawyer who had put aside everything In his vain search for the body and had appealed in every man ner to the abductors to "make con tact," was so utterly crushed by the news that be scarcely was able to talk. In the boy's trouter pocket were found a Jack-knife and a toy air plane. Search Waterfront The medical examiners were unable to tell without further examination whether Peter's head was out off by the abductors or a boat striking the body had caused the mutilation. One of Hoover's first acta was to direct a search of the waterfront in an effort to trace the movements of the kidnapers with the body. . The most, substantial clue to the whole crime, Inconclusive aa it was, was the sinister coll of copper wire with which Peter's body had been wrapped. Federal agents Immediate ly set about trying to trace it where I; -ass bought, by whom, and when. The boy disappeared last February 24, on his way home from school, and the dread, familiar kidnap checking routine set in Immediately. The first ransom note which, like all others, appeared to have been written on a oheap toy typewriter- demanded 160,000 and Levlne, slight, earnest, typically middle-class lawyer of no great wealth, set about sadly to try to raise the money. Boy's Note Received On Feb. 28, the father received a note, scrawled In a schoolboyish hand on a scrap of newspaper, signed "Peter," and begging "dad" to pay what had been asked. Four days later, while the Levlnes waited in their two-story stucco home with blinds drawn and Inter mittently appealing to the police and public to keep "hands off," Levlne disclosed that $30,000, demanded In another ransom communication, was ready. On April 20, Levlne had become to jadly certain that his son was dead that he offered a new reward 125,000 for the boy a recovery but, more significantly. 95.000 for Information disclosing his body. One thing was widely accepted: The boy's kidnapers had become angry and killed him brutally, per haps even continuing their negotia tions for money long after hi body lay in the sound.

The Belvedere castle which was his home end where he remained under guard after anschluss with Germany March IS la to be emptied by next Tuesday, neighbors said. - Three possible explanations were advanced unofficially to explain the ;ransfer from Belvedere. One was that Schuschnlgg would have to face trial before the Leipzig supreme court. Others who thought his health too impaired for imprisonment at Leip&lg penitentiary believed he might be permitted to live under guard in a German sanatorium.

Cemetery at Jacksonville Poignant Link With Past By .Maude Pool , There Is something about an old cemetery at Memorial time that urges a visitor to stop, to prod among mossy monument or be neath dark, vine grown corners for some bit of a story that may lie hid den here. Jacksonville's grand old cemetery la one of these. And It la not Just for thoughts of the past that a vis itor would care to linger, but Its 30 acres of verdant, shaded beauty lying on an eastward, flower strewn slope suggests a place of peace and tranquility. The Masonic burial section, with Its bright spraya of sweet peas and roses, contains within one of Its lots more history than any other cemetery In southern Oregon. It Is there that the first burial In the cemetery occurred, that of Margaret Love 79 yeara ago. It was a rainy October day, and since no roadi was built to the graveyard, the body was carried to the wooded hillside. The tall marble monument marking this grave waa shipped around Cape Horn from Italy, and was packed here from Crescent City. Oeorge Love, prosper ous hardware merchsnt of Jackson ville, erected this monument to his mother. This stone does not bear the oldest date In the cemetery, however. Two slabs were erected In memory of Oabrlel and Andervllle Plymale In 1852. the bodies having been moved from a former cemetery located near the Dr. Robinson home. In the Love lot Is the grave of Oeorge Harris, massacred by the In dians In Josephine county In 1866. Connected with this Is the well known story of Mrs. Harris' eighteen hour bsttle with the Indians In which the daughter, Sophia, was wounded. The boy, David, had gone on an errand at the time, and neither returned nor waa found. A unique ball of marble, carved to perfection In representation of many flowers serves aa a foot marker. Although the marble 1 grayed with moss, calls lilies, roses, lilies of the valley, and other patterns are visible. One lot In this section, beautifully arranged In Its day, but somewhat neglected now, Is that of Oeorge P. Pitts, whose death occurred In 1876 when he fell to the ground from high on the Masonlo building In Jacksonville which was under con struction. Pine old post carved of sandstone before concrete was known, linked with huge Iron chains, enclose the lot. A marble monument dated 1873 and bearing the name of Dr. A. B. Overbeck, brings to mind Jacksonville's first doctor, whose name forever will be assoclsted with the smallpox' scourge of the AO's. The land fbr the cemetery was do nated by J. N. T. Miller. A riot of yellow blossoms on the Scotch broom adds Interest to the I.OO.P. plot, where the observer may find, with the willing help of Ike Coffman, sexton, many things of un usual note, aa well aa pieces of his tory connected wrth the names ot those burled there, in the shade ol the laurels Is the grave of Ft.

(AP) Members of congress want to go home by June It, and Senate Leader Bark ley (D-Ky) expressed confidence to day that they will get their wish. "We should pass the relief bill In tbe senate by the middle of the week," Berkley told reporters. "Then all we will have left are a compro mise on the wage-hour bill, a defici ency appropriation measure, and a few odds and ends that can be sand wiched In at any time.'

Mr. Coffman haa preserv ed with his records a piece of board bearing Tlbbett'a lnltiala. The grave of John A. Boyer would recall to many Jacksonville's earlier daya. Boyer, who died In 1003, was a trusted msn, and worked for many yeara In the Beekman bank. He also was a grandmaster of the lodge. The monument of Silas J. Day, founder of Oddfellowshlp In Jacksou county, brings to mind the days when Mr. Day covered the territory of Oregon, Waahtngon, Idaho and part of Mon tana aa grandmaster, making the cir cuit both afoot and on horseback. His trip required a year and three days. He died 3D years ago. The Ish lot, with Its ornamental Iron fence, Is made picturesque with nine tall monumenta. some slightly tilted In their sandstone founda tions. In one corner of the lot stands a massive cauh Iron seat, molded In Imposing fern designs. Although ons's thought always turn to the past when visiting a cemetery, the present cannot be overlooked here, for the tall bouquets of rare wild flowera on the new grave of Mrs. John Heckner bespeak the love and loneliness of her hus band whose apparent suicide is bringing wide concern. The Odd Pel low's section recently we enlsrged to Include two mora acres on the east. The plot of 28 cemetery blocks of the old Oerman order of Red Men, a secret order which no longer exists, has Its Interests, among which are the transcriptions In Oerman on several tombstones. The new Im proved order of Red Men also has their allotted ground, as do the Catholics. Th city plot and the Jewish section constitute the re mainder of the cemetery. Scattered here and there are other bits of Information connected with the paat. The myrtle covered graves of Anna Dean and N. J. Dean are of Interest In that this wa the first couple married In Jackson county. Anna Dean, who died In 1000, wa a native of New Jersey; her husband, from Whltesborough, New York, died In 1878.
