engaged in keen study of the situation Reynolds
quoted saying:
"The United States can do nothing to help Europe,
it would be better to turn its attention to home

Miss Mccormick and Oser to
Spend Honeymoon in
Swiss Mountains.
RASLE. Switzerland, April 49,

BASLE, Switzerland, April 49,
Harold F.. McCormick's gift to his
pretty eighteen-year-old daughter,
Miss Mathilde Mccormick, when she
rnarries Maj. Max Oser, her middle
aged Swiss sutton, will be a costly
chateau in the Swiss mountains, it
was learned here today from one
of Oser's confidential friends.
The ''house hunting" experiences
of Mathilde and Oser, the former
instructor in equestrianism, were
thus described by William Christ,
Oser's closest friend:
Max and Mathilde, both of whom
are Unfortunately fond OF horseback
riding, rode far and near late last
fall looking for a place that suited
them. Max refused to continue the
hunt when the weather got bad.
He said everything looked so bleak
and dreary It was better to wait
until the SHOWS were gone. Harold
F.. Mccormick said IL they would
postpone their search until good
weather in the spring he would
give them an automobile. He sug
gested that they take their time;
take all summer, IL necessary. When
they found a place that suited
them, he said, he would buy 1t for
them"
Oser and his pretty fiance are
still missing, so far as their friends
in Basic know.
Miss Mccormick is the grand
child of John D. Rockefeller on
her mothers side and the grand
child of Cyrus Mccormick, founder
of the great International Harvester
Company, on her fathers side.

DIR. Ballou denies that he was
