FBI Can Enter
Baby Kidnaping
Case Wednesday
Washington (U.R) At 3 p.m.
EDT Wednesday, the FIB can of
ficially enter the hunt for the
kidnaper of the Weinberger
baby. At that time, a full week
will have passed since the child's
abduction.
Under federal 'law, a seven
day waiting period must elapse
before the FBI can enter a kid
naping case, unless there is an
immediate indication that the
kidnaper fled across state lines
or that some other interstate
violation is involved. After sev
en days, it is automatically as
sumed that the criminal has fled
the state where the crime was
committed and the FBI may
then step in.
Silencs Unbroken
A spokesman refused to break
the official silence in Washing
ton on, whether the FBI will
immediately throw its full
weight Wednesday into the
Weinberger case. It is known,
however, that G-men have been
cooperating with New York
state authorities and are fully
abreast of developments in the
case.
The spokesman said that thus
far no evidence has turned up
to indicate that either the ran
som note or the telephone con
tacts made by the abductor with
the Weinbergers may have been
made across the state lines.
Law Carries Death Penalty
The federal kidnaping statute
passed by Congress during a
wave of national horror over
the kidnap-killing of the son of
Charles A. Lindbergh, carries
the death penalty. A number of
so-called "little Lindbergh laws"
passed by states duplicate the
penalty. '
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
has pointed out that the primary
interest of all authorities in
such cases is the victim not
the abductor.
"When kidnapings occur, the
first concern of the FBI and
other law enforcement agencies
is always the safe return of the
victims," he said.
On The Side
By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King Future Syndicate, Inc.)
When I m dead, my dearest.
Sine bo sad songs for me;
Plant no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the ireen irass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And If thou wilt, remeoiber,
And if thou wilt, forget.
Christina Rossetti
Where did women get their
reputation of being poor tippers?
Certainly not in beauty shops.
Indications are the girls really
grow generous in the rejuvena
tion establishments. A list of
what are the proper tips for
beauty shop operators says that
after a haircut the tip should be
$1. After. a permanent wave it
should be S3! Following a tinting
or dye job the operator should
be tipped $2 or $3. Other opera
tors should be tipped 15 per cent
of the bill. Suppose a woman
gees to a beauty shop and gets
the "works." That is everything
necessary to doll her up for an
important date or party. I won
der what is the amount of the
average bill for that, plus tips?
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Who
wrote the song titled "The Bow
ery?" A. Was written by Charles
Hoyt and introduced by Harry
Connor in the play titled "A
Trip to Chinatown." That was in
1892. It is said that song caused
a decrease in the Bowery's real
estate values from which it
never recovered. . . Q. My wife
insists Clark Gable is in his
middle 60s. I say middle 50s.
Your decision, please. A. You
win the stogies, sir. Mr. Gable
was born in Cadiz, Ohio, on Feb.
1, 1901. Clark is the most cele
brated man ever Born; in Cadiz
but the cleverest fellow ever
born there was Percy Hammond,
the drama critic. Q. I have seen
Joe Frisco in night clubs many
times but has he ever been in a
film or on the stage? A. Joe
played in a film titled "Atlantic
City." He was a big time vaude
ville star for many years.
Horses and Women
The problem of the wrinkled
skirt has not been solved. Well
and expensively dressed females
who look marvelous from a front
view suffer so much from wrin
kled skirts that from the rear
they look as if they had been
sleeping on a park bench. When
will some textile inventive gen
ius rectify this situation for our
long suffering" countrywomen. In
the meanwhile, why not have
emergency skirt pressing sta
tions in all department stores,
tailor shops and powder rooms?
Big Baby .
Brooklynite whose recently
arrived female infant weighed
12 pounds at birth is afraid her
daughter may develop into a
"fat girl." That is not necessarily
so. Many infants who weigh as
much as 12 pounds at birth
grow to be ndrmal sized adults.
Please Note
With reference to her age
Paulette ,Goddard frequently
says, "How old I am is no mys
tery. Look in the reference
books." The books say Paulette
is 45. However, a recent descrip
tion of Miss Goddard says: she
"looks 30 in a good light and
35 in a bad light." This brings
to mind the old saying, "A man
is as old as he feels and a wom
an as old as she looks in a good
light."
Understanding men
When a girl has seven broth
ers does it aid her in her future
handling of men? A young wom
an of Manhattan who has seven
brothers says it definitely does.
She attributes her subsequent
success in man handling to hav
ing made a study of her broth
ers. She says one of the most im
portant things for a woman to
learn is "how to fight for her
rights."

Fourth in Tahiti Race

Hedden's 69-foot ketch Celebes
out of San Francisco became
the fourth boat Monday night
to cross the finish line in the
world's longest yacht race from
Los Angeles Harbor to Tahiti.

from San Francisco, was the
only yacht still at sea but the
boat was expected to finish the
race for last place sometime to
night.
John P. Scripps Novia del
Mar was the first boat to cross
the finish line Saturday. The
Novia del Mar, however, took
third place in the 3,571-mile race
on a handicap basis. The Jada
won the race and the Quest
took second place.
Treatment of Trees
Advised by July IS
All stone fruit trees in the
valley should be treated for
peach root borers, earwigs, and
ants by July 15, according to
Clifford B. Cordy, county hort
icultural agent.
Growers are advised to use
eight pounds of 50 per cent DDT
per 100 gallons of water. For
places where only a few trees
need treatment, solution should
consist of one-quarter pound of
50 per cent DDT in three gal
lons of water.
The splution can be applied
with handspray or sloshed onto
trunks and crotches, Cordy said.
Trunks should be soaked enough
so that some spray runs off
into the soil. The spray will
need to be repeated again about
Aug. 10, Cordy added.

City of Portland
Air Pollution Eyed
Portland (U.R) A federal
technical expert on air pollution
today started a week-long prelim
inary survey of what the city of
Portland needs to reduce, and
prevent, air pollution in the area.
Jean Schueneman stated spe
cifically that his recommenda
tions would be purely advisory.
The city health bureau invited
him to make the study.
Schueneman said he would at
tempt to determine three things:
1. Whether a more extensive
air pollution survey should be
conducted.
2. Whether the local program
of air pollution control .should
be expanded at the present time
or whether this should be post
poned until results of additional
research are available.
3. What form an air pollution
program s h o u 1 take and
what staff and budget would be
necessary to do the job, if it is to
be done.
