LOS ANGELES, July 5--Federal and
city officials armed with new and Of
ficially styled STARTLED information"
pushed forward tonight a new investi-
cation into the mystery surrounding
Aimee Semple McPherson's five weeks
absence from her temple here. The
new angles to the inquiry were con-
tanned in an official report received two
days ago by Herman cline, captain of
detectives, from officials OF Douglas,
Ariz., where the evangelist appeared
June 23 with a story Of having been
kidnapped, tortured and held for ram
som in the desert wastes below Aqua
Prieta Mexico.
The first indication of the. Importance
of the reports Information was given
by Cline today when he parried specific
requests as to whether the contents
were favorable or detrimental to the
evangelist with II Will say this--the
information / have is of the kind that
you dare not print at this time"
Cline added that several days Of
hard work would be necessary in
checking UP various points in the new
information. He refused to divulge
any angle involved, saying the report
would be turned over to the United
States attorney.
The federal quiz was given added
impetus today under personal direction
of United States Attorney McNabb, who
returned here last night with the an
nouncement he would assume charge
of the governments inquiry which so
far centered about possible illegal
aspects in connection with the mailing
of a 100000 ransom letter to Mrs.
Minnie Kennedy, mother OF the evange-.
list.
Kenneth G. Ormiston, former radio
operator at Angelus Temple, seat Of
Mrs. McPherson's creed, was again be-
ing sought today for questioning. Cap
tain Cline stated he would like to ask
Ormiston certain questions which he
hoped would shed light on the mys-
terry, and a private detective agency

The June rains foretold by Father

1t should be noted that the bulie-

surmise. The July bulletin, for this
reason. is given below in full, and
where there is no direct reference to
Arizona, local residents may follow
their own Interpretation of weatheE
conditions here. The prophecy of a
cooler summer than normal, issued
last January, has been borne out, the
highest temperature recorded in Doug
las in June being only 102 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Following is complete text of

Nevada and Arizona, beginning to
rain in southern Alaska and Vancou-
