Slain Wife's Estate
Awaiting Husband
But Doubts Claim
San Lull Obispo. Cal. (U.R)
All Morley V. King has to do to
get a $902.58 check is walk in
to the county treasurer' office
and identify himself.
But Treasurer Shannon Horn
doesn't think King, 40. will
bother to call for the money,
estate of the stocky chef's lale
wife.
His wife, the onetime Com
tesse Christiana de Zoheb. was
atrangled here in July, 1947, and
her body was stuffed into a
trunk.
Sought Wida Hunt
As prime suspect In the slny
ine. Kinii has been sought in an
international hunt that ranged
as far as Paris and Mexico City.
It also resulted in the muscular
former gambler being named
No. 2 man on the FBI's list of
10 most-wnnted men.
Mrs. King's body was discov
ered under the dining room
porch of the hotel here where
King operated the restaurant
concession. She had been miss
ing for 30 hours when the maid
made tile find.
The one-time noblewoman's
colorful life led her to a half
dozen countries before she met
King in Casablanca, Morocco, in
1925. He is an American who
had wondered thr6ugh the
world after his wartime service
in the U. S. navy. They were
married the next year and mov
ed to New Orleans eight years
later.
King was held briefly by au
thorities there after a gambler
named Williams was killed. But
a coroner's jury found that Wil
liams died accidentally and mur-

Have recently read a number
of articles on the "teen-ager
gangs" of New York city and
the problem of handling them.
There have been such gangs as
long as I can remember. When I
was a kid. South Brooklyn was
full of them. The group of
youngsters I went around with,
known as "The Forty-eighth
Streeters." never went in for
gang warfare. Just defended
themselves when attacked. This
they did very well because every
kid on the block knew how to
handle himself, due to the in
structions of two former profes
sional boxers living on the same
street. So the tough guys in oth
er sections usually let us alone.
Our gang went in for sports. We
had teams in almost every kind
of sport you can imagine. No kid
on our block was even In trouble
with the police. Get your
youngsters interested in sports
and the chances they will devel-
der charges were not pressed.

Got This
Just in case some of our clients
who are thinking of retiring
missed the following advertise
ment from The New Yorker
magazine, I am quoting it: "Mex

Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Were
you married in a church? If so
what church? A. I was married
In the Little Church Around the
Corner, New York city. Q. Was
not David Warfield a burlesque
comedian just before he made
such a hit as a dramatic actor
in the David Belasco production
of "The Music Master"? A. Pre
vious to becoming a dramatic
actor. Warfield was associated
with the Weber & Fields Music
Hall company as a comedian.
This company included such
stars as Lillian Russell, Fay
Templeton, Willie Collier, Peter
F. Oailey and others of similar
calibre. It could hardly be styled
"a burlesque company" as we
now understand the term. Q. Are
you familiar with a poem titled,
"The Irish," which includes the
line, "When Greeks and Romans
still wore tails"? A. Don't know
the complete poem. All I know
of it follows:
When Greeks and Romans still
wore tails,
And banqueted on bugs and
snails,
Who ruled like kings in golden
vales?
The Irish!
Sidelights
"A woman likes a man who Is
a little arrogant." That's what

said a "little." Don't overdo it.

but I can't name the book or
chnpter. My old Sunday school
teacher certainly has a right to
be ashamed of me.
Crabs
Some Manhattan sea food res
taurants certainly offer their pa
trons the choice of quite a vari
ety of crabs. One such eatery of
fers: "Stone crabs from Florida,
Dungeness crabs from the Pacific
const, and king crabs from Alas
ka." I like my crabs in a crab
meat cocktail. Will some expert
tell me what type of crab Is best
for that?

Newest Chemical May Do Away With 'Wash Day Blues7
Washington (U.R) Here is
good news' for housewives suf
lering from washdays blues.
The Department of Agricul
ture says there is a new way to
wash cotton clothes so they stay
cleaner longer and will be easier
to clean the next time.
All that's necessary is to add
a . "simple, inexpensive com
pound" to the laundry rinse wat
er. When the cotton goods dry,
the chemical appears to leave a
protective film on the fiber
which keeps dirt from coming
into contact with the cotton.
In any event, the cotton goods
after the treatment are "harder
to soil and easier to clean," the
department said.

The department said the dis
covery resulted from research
by the Institute of Textile Tech
nology, Charlottesville. Va.
The Institute reported that
small amounts of CMC are con

washing detergents now on the
market. It said this method of
using CMC doesn't get as good
a result as using it in rinse wat
