NEIRA' s FALLING
IS MYSTERY

Mystery surrounded the disap-
pearance from his desk in the Pan
American Union about three weeks
ago Of Marcial Neira, a young Peru
Wan who was typist and trans
lator in the bulletin section. But it
was nothing compared with the
mystification of Neira's employers
over discovery of the youth today
in the OccoQuan Jail where he is
serving 80 days as a vagrant.
Neira had a job here and he had
a boarding place. He disappeared
from both March II. and his en-
pIoyers and some Of those who
boarded with him at 1647 Fuller
St. N. W., were searching for him.
They learned today that Eeira
had been arrested as a vagrant
March IS, and that he had told
Judge Macdonald in Police Court
that he hadn't had anything to eat
for three days. Judge Macdonald
said today he thought the youth
looked wretched and he offered
money to buy a meal for him. But
the arresting policeman dug into
his own pockets. and gave Neira a
dollar to buy food.
Neira is now in the hospital at
OccOquan as he said he was too Ill
to work. He told the Jail authorities
he had lost his job.
All this puzzles the Pan Amer
lean Union officials. They said
they gave Neira a job about three
months ago and that he was not
discharged-that he simply disap-
peared.
Neira had only % cents in his
clothing when taken to Jail.
