McKesson announced Thursday that an investigation was under way to determine if anyone con tributed to the delinquency of the attractive blonde. He said investigators would be sent today to talk with Mrs. Aad land at her nearby Inglewood home. Mrs. Aadland told United Press International that her daughter had been staying with her up un til Thursday night. 'But she's not around now,' said Mrs. Aadland. "And 1 don t know when she will be." She declined to say where Miss Aadland was staying. "She hasn't done anything wrong. She and Errol naa a Deau tiful relationship."

(AP) Long Beach, under the watchful eye of Uncle Sam, is stepping up its campaign to fight water with water and keep the city from tilt, ing into the sea. The city is battling -a creeping catastrophe called subsidence. Un checked, this land sinkage would allow the Pacific to cover the har bor and a large section of the city. So far, it has caused an estimated 90 million dollars dam age to harbor and private prop erty. The federal government is con cerned because its 170-million-dol- lar naval shipyard in the harbor has been sinking. The government has threatened to abandon it. But there was a clear air of optimism as federal, state and city officials gathered Thursday t watch the opening of two power ful new water-pumping plants. The city is pumping millions of gallons of sea water a day inte the Wilmington oil fields that un derlies the harbor and part of the city. This, in effect, is being done to refloat the land that is sinking from lack of sustaining fluid. The two new pumping plants , cost 2'a million dollars. They bring the total of these plants to eight and the daily capacity of water injection to 874.000 barrels through 93 wells. Eventually the city and private operators plan to have 268 water injection wells pouring a million gallons of water a day into the field. Engineer M. A. Nishkian, who designed the pumping plants, said five years of pumping a ' million barrels a day would replace the fluid removed by oil drilling since the Wilmington field was opened in 1936. The subsidence has created a 20-square-mile saucer extending easterly in downtown Long Beach, where some large build ings have sunk two or three feet. The land has sunk 26 feet at thi middle of the subsidence saucer. Save Money, Actress Told LOS ANGELES (AP)-Should I movie starlet have to save 15 per cent of her salary?

She was saving 10 per cent of her $200 weekly salary. When it was hiked recently to $300. she thought she could still save 10 per cent and perhaps spend, a bit of the raise on more clothes. "All I'm asking you to do is save $600 in a year, out of the $4,000 raise you're getting under your 40-week guarantee," Judgt Ben Koenig told her. "Well, when you put it that way, it doesn't sound like very much," Miss Morrow said. "I guess I can do that all right." SHOP The MERCHANDISE MART "A IIT O IVKYTHINS" .
