Face New Trials on
Embezzling Charges

Minnie," a short, plump spinster
who allegedly embezzled nearly
$3,000,000, faced new trials to

MISS MINNIE MANGUM
Could Get Hundiedt of Year
first trial on a relative minor
charge knowingly giving false
information to Virginia's Cor
poration Commission about her
company's financial condition.
Trial Begins Monday
Dabbing at her tear-filled eyes
with her small white lace hanky,
Miss Minnie, a Sunday school
teacher, was led from the court
room by relatives.
A million dollar embezzlement
trial begins Monday on 22 counts
of theft ranging from $1,500 to
$195,000 covering during 23
years of the 23 she worked for
the Commonwealth Building and
Loan association of Norfolk. Con
viction on any of the counts
could add another 10 years in
prison.
And after that trial, the little
old lady who had lived all her
life with community respect
faces trials on 14 more indict
ments, most Vvith multiple
charges. One charges her with
stealing $2,884,957.06.
The amazing complex of
charges against Miss Minnie was
filed when federal auditors dis
covered last December a short
age of nearly $3,000,000 in the
reserves of the building and loan
company. Miss Minnie had
worked there as bookkeeper and
rose to the position of a $9,000-a-year
assistant secretary treas
urer. ihe state further charged that
she gave away thousands of dol
lars of company money to
friends and relatives.
Her conviction Thursday came
exactly 100 minutes after the
jury of six men and six women
began its deliberations. It was
based largely on her admitted
signed statement that she had
used $2,000,000, I think" for
relatives and friends.
Brussels Romance
Squelched by Palace
London (U.R) Another royal
romance died today before it
could really get started.
The Brussels newspaper Het
Volk reported the engagement
of pretty Princess Alexandra,
19-year-old daughter of the
Duchess of Kent, and Belgium's
bespectacled King Baudoin.
The London Daily Mirror said
it was officially informed by
Kensington palace, the Duchess
London home, there was no
truth to the report.
It was the second time in two
days court circles have taken
the almost unprecedented step
of issuing a blitz denial of such
rumors.
On Wednesday Queen Eliza
beth II authorized a denial of
any romance between Princess
Margaret and German Prince
Christian of Hanover.

both 8, drowned Thursday night
in a water-filled sewer excava
tion which had been left unpro
tected, police reported.
A housewife said she warned
the boys away from the 10-foot
hole, but later noticed the boys'
bicycles were still parked near
the hole. Firemen drained the
hole and found the boys' bodies
partially stuck in mud.
Detroit (U.R) Most people
would see little to compare be
tween spinach and cigarettes.
But there is a very definite
parallel, according to Dr. Evarts
A. Graham of Washington Uni
versity of St. Louis.
"If there was as much evi
dence that spinach caused can
cer of the stomach as there is
between lung cancer and smok
ing," Graham said Thursday,
"the United States Public
Health Service would plaster
the country with warning
placards." (

Extremes Moderate
By UNITED PRESS
Weather extremes leveled off
today, breaking record setting
heat waves in the West and cold
snaps in the East.
In Southern California, light
rains cracked the sizzling heat
which sent temperatures as high
as 105 earlier this week. Freak
winds accompanied the storm
Thursday, ripping down trees
and power lines in Los Angeles.
It was still on the chilly side
on the East coast, but tempera
tures rose five to 10 degrees
above levels which set records
Thursday, in New York City,
Rochester, N.Y., and other cities.
There was rain in the Middle
Atlantic coast states, with Salis
bury, Md., getting a 1.03 inch

Clure Memorial League lecture
before the Henry Ford Hospital
Medical Society.
He said 14 recent studies in
this and other nations showed
"incontrovertible" evidence of
the relationship between- heavy
smoking and lung cancer.
"There is not the slightest
doubt of the' causal relation
ship," Graham said.
He was quick to blast Dr. W.
C. Hueper of the Public Health
Service who holds that the in
creased incidence of lung can
cer may be blamed on air pollu
tion. PHS Keeps Silent
"Heuper goes around. shooting
his mouth off about something
he doesn't know anything about
and the rest of the Public Health
Service keeps silent," Graham
said, i
He also blasted the tobacco
industry for trying to offset lag
ging sales by conducting cam
paigns to start people smoking
at an earlier age.
"The evidence against cigar
ette smoke is stronger than the
proof that vaccination protects
against smallpox," Graham said.
"Only screwballs doubt that."
