HOLD-UP GUNMAN
 GIVEN 7O YEARS
Prisoner Now Is But 2l Years
 Of Age

New York. Oct 29.-A minimum sentence Of seventy years imprison- ment was imposed yesterday on Marcus McMurty. 21 years old, by Judge Mancuso in general sessions on his pleas of guilty to murder in the second degree and robbery fo' participation in the shooting last August of Patrolman Oscar Oehler- king of the West Forty street station and the holdup of a West Forty ninth street speak easy, which preceded the murder. Me Murty. who had given the address BOA West 18th street, received a sentence from twenty years to life Imprisonment for the murder and from fifty to eighty years for the holdup. The holdup sentence in cluded an additional five years pre- scribed under the new Baumes law for using pistol in the robbery.
 Grins at Lawyers
 A habitue of the seamen's s rendezvous on the lower waterfront, McMurty was immediately attired when he appeared before Judge Mancuso. in contrast to his shabby appearance when he was arrested just after the crime. He had been shot twice in the leg at the tune by Patrolman James Burlington. Mo- Murty and his confederate. Jack AL len, now fugitive had fired on Patrolman Oehlerking when Oeh- Jerking attempted to capture them for the holdup a few minutes be- fore. Oehlerking was killed with one of Aliens bullets.
 The gunman grinned amiably at Judge Mancuso as his lawyers, John Caldwell Meyers and Mrs. Joyce Bushel, pleaded that a sentence of but thirty-five years imprisonment be imposed. He busied himself smoothing out his new polka dot tie and the lapcls of his new blue suit with an air of disinterestedness as M. Meyers told the court that the prisoner was friendless and a criminal by impulse rather than by instinct. He had been goaded into participation in the robbery. the lawyer went on, by the declaration of Allen that McMurty was yellow"
 After revealing that his client had been marine and the son of par ents who formerly were on the vaudeville stage, MT. Myers added: T don't hold to the view in certain quarters that the killing of a police man Is a greater crime than the killing of a tinker or tailor. Me Murty will be glad to testify against Allen when Allen is caught"
 Judge Mancuso told McCurty that the reason the plea of second degree murler had been accepted was be- cause he was not the actual slayer and it was not likely that first de- gree murder conviction would have been sustained. He added. however, that society needed to be protected against such criminals.
 T am going to make sure that this defendant never again sees the outside of prison walls" he said.

POSSIBILITY OF VICTORY BY 'REDS'
British Govt. Studying Problem
 in China

London, Oct. 2s CP) - The pos sibility of the victorious Cantonese Reds" overrunning northern China, engulfng Picking, dispersing the nominal central government there and thus forcing the issue of China's whole relationship with the western powers, is being studied seriously in authoritative British circles.
 The consensus is that the Can tonese nationalists will fail to unify China, as other groups have failed, but will be able to maintain and consolidate . their influence in the south thus facing the foreign na- tions with the problem of what recognition to take of the existing divisions of the great republic of the east.
 According to the British view, soviet Russia's sympathy, advice and material assistance. to which the success of the Cantonese thus far has been largely attributed here. are likely to prove a serious handicap to their campaigns in the north, where it Is declared the i'm perialist ambitions of Russia prob ably will be revealed to China, as they were in the days of the czars.
 From information received in London, Marshal Chang Tso-Lin. the Manchurian dictator, is even more anti-soviet than the Japan csc, and the possibility Of Man churia becoming reconciled to the Canton government is regarded as most remote.
 One test of the attitude of the northern provinces toward Canton is expected in the reception given to Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang, who, after visiting Moscow, has returned to northwestern China to further the Cantonese cause.

and fascinating sidelight on his

An ancient bit of parchment
with it's picture Of an Indian

only the environment of those
early settlers but their unquench-
able desire for freedom of con-
science. For the Rev. John
Wheelwright. who bought the
land from the Indian chief in
1888, preferred to be banished
from the Massachusetts Bay col
ony rather than modify his re-
ligious belief. Then. with a dar-

Ptomaine can be caused by un-

Dirty dish rags dried day by

Disease sometimes incubates in
a filthy drain from an other
wise clean ice box in an ap-
parently clean kitchen.
Raw foods are very good, but
must be clean. One or two
washings are not enough; they
must be scrubbed and some
times scalded. Since they are
apt to carry worms of different
kinds, if there is any doubt
about them, they must be cooked.
Pinworms and tapeworms af-

they and other parasites are
found in unclean food or drink

by good elimination. They may

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been going about
with a young man for five months.
I also go with other young men.
The first mentioned has asked
me to marry him. am in doubt
what to say. My parents ere
against my marrying him because
he is a foreigner.
They tell me I should choose
an American. There is an Ameri-
can whom my parents like. They
want me to marry him, but /
don't care for him at all, although
he is. crazy about me.
My parents say l could learn
to like him, but / doubt 1t, as /
love the other man too much
and I know he loves me.
Do you think that his being
a foreigner would have anything
TO do with our being happy to-
gether if we get married? 1 can't
give him up. Please advise me.
PUZZLED.
THINK long and seriously, my
l. dear, before you go against
the advice of your parents in
your marriage. Your letter doesn't
state your age. But whether you
are old or young, you will be
wise to postpone marrying until
you are very sure. indeed, that
you and your foreign sweetheart
are congenial, that your ideas
about life and marriage are suf-
ficiently alike to enable you to
live happily together.
On the other hand, don't marry
the American or any other man
until you are positive you love
him. Time is the best test.
Wait a year. Meantime, try to
win over your parents to your
point of view if you are very
sure you are right. This will also
give your foreign friend an op-
portunity to prove to your
parents by his character, life
and progress that he Is suitable
as a husband for you.

BLAME 1T ON
ITALIANS

IT was the Italians who started
l. the use of confetti at carnival
times. And their confetti was
by no means the gentle shower Of
paper pellets that we know oy
that name. They were hard lime
pellets and their impact with
ones face and ones anatomy was
by no means pleasant. Some
times the sting was relieved by a
wrapper of paper around the
lime. But usually even that
solace was missing.
When the French took over the
custom, they made it a gentl1-
and more pleasant affair. Their
confetti was made of bits of
paper which could cause no pain.
And the paper was of many
colors so that the falling shower
resembled somewhat a strange
rainbow.
