BLOOD TESTS WILL
 DECIDE PARENTAGE
Gypsy Queen or Kidnapped
 White Child?

Oakland, Neb.. Aug. 26 ReThe future of a golden-h haired baby girl today hinged on the outcome of a blood test chosen to determine whether the three-year-old child really is a gypsy princess or per- haps the kidnapped daughter of other parents who somewhere are seeking her.
 The blood test to decide the child's gypsy percentage was decided upon by the authorities after they had taken the girl from a swarthy band whose king and queen claim ed her as their own. e5
 The insistent pleading of the gypsy mother. known as Annie John. led the authorities to adopt the blood test as their method when the gypsies agreed to abide by the result of the test.
 Blood of the gypsy parents and that of the baby girl will be ana lyzed and if found related the child will be returned to them as their gypsy princess. Otherwise she will be kept in custody here until the rightful parents seek and claim her. Already inquiries regarding the child have been received from many parts of the country and several parents are en route here in hopes of identifying the girl, the authorities said.

Congressional investigation of charges

The prediction was made during
cross-examination of Gov. Fred w.
Green of Michigan, who urged repeal
of that levy, as we'll as the sales tax
on automobiles. After the governor
had testified he had paid his own ex.
penses to Washington, Representative
Rainey. Democrat. Illinois, declared
he was glad to hear that, because
there would be an investigation into
the subject during the Winter.

Rainey interrupted to say that there

they were official.
