MURDERED Child
12 Year Old Girl Slain After
Utah Kidnapping

Salt Lake City. Jan. R}-The
hat. shoes and galoshes worn by
June Nelson, IL. who was kidnapped
and slain New Years eve were the
objects OF an extensive search here
today as a possible link to the iden-
tity OF the murderer, who attacked
the girl before strangling her to
death. Scores OF police and depG-
ties continued the hunt for the
slayer.
Those articles were missing when
the body OF the school girl was
found yesterday partly submerged
In a shallow canal on the outskirts
OF the city.
Car Returned
A pair of child's gloves found in
4 stolen automobile parked near a
bridge crossing the canal could not
be identified by Mrs. Charles II.
Nelson as those of her daughter.
despite the fact that it was believed
June's kidnaper used the car In
carrying the girl to the spot. The
car was returned to it's owner, who
had reported its theft Monday night
q short time before the kidnapping.
Four suspects. including an en-
convict who had served terms for
attacking girls in this vicinity, were
drilled at police headquarters yes
terday, but all We're released when
officers expressed the belief that the
men knew nothing of the crime.
Authorities thought the slayer,
who kidnapped the girl while she
was returning from her fathers
confectionery store to her home
less than a half block away, was
known by the victim and that he
killed her TO escape detection. Alb
sence Of footprints in snow along
the bank Of the canal led TO the be-
lief that the slain girl had been
hurled from a car as it sped across
the bridge.
Although the abduction occurred
In a thickly populated section early
Monday evening there were no
witnesses to If. a light suoNfail
failed to rev cal any signs of a strus-
gle.

old sister, told her parents that an
old man wearing a. long overcoat
had attempted to seize her near the
store last Friday night but that she
had escaped him and ran to her
home.

Nebula Seems to Bear
Out EinStein Theory

New York, Jan. . tP-An inkling
of an astronomers idea of the pos
sible extreme OF the limit set to
space by the Einstein theory was
given by DR.. Harlow Shapley of
Harvard last night in his lecture at
the closing session Of the American
Association for the Advancement Of
Science.
Referring to the distant nebula
reported to the association last week
from Mount Wilson observatory as
travelling $500 miles per second. he
said it seemed to bear out the Elm
stein concept and added:
I'VE must remember that this OBJ
ject is but a. fraction Of one per
cent out toward that boundary that
t.instein indicates. The mea sure ment
of the speed of this nebula gives us
an indication that space and time
are SO arranged that we have an eff
feet of velocity. an indication OF a
remarkable kind Of universe"

 Nor is that all. Our official diplomacy has built up the theory that American interests are to be protected by the American govern ment wherever they may be.
 American factories are operat- ing in a dozen countries where they may be menaced by violent attack. ] am trying to see the possibilities, not as an alarmist, but as som-- thng of a realist. Just this sort Of thing has involved us in more than one military operation and we ha.ve no reason to believe we have seen the end of such operations. Within the next five years we may easily enough see our troops going to the ends of the earth to protect fac tories that have gone to the ends of the earth seeking easier fields for the exploitation of workers.
 Through. foreign loans and through the extension of our fac tory system to foreign lands we have sought grip on those lands that brings a new influence into the world. Diplomats cannot remain ,uninf1uenced by what this great in vestment will do."

PRESIDENT RESTS
 ON 55TH BIRTHDAY
Holds Relaxed Conferences at
 Blue Ridge Mountain Camp

Madison. Va. Aug. 10 LP'-Presi-
 dent Hoover dedicated his 55th
 birthday today to rest and recreation
 with a party of relatives friends and co-workers at his camp at the head waters of the Rapidan river in the
 Blue Ridge mountains.
 Never accustomed to make much
 over birthdays, he had TO special
 plans for celebration, although it
 was assumed that something out of
 the ordinary and a more or less out
 standing cake would characterize the
 camp dinner.
 The usual number of relaxed con- ferenccs with government officials at the camp. however. appeared 10 have been reduced, with the prin- cipal activities of the party today and tomorrow confined broadly to | the qualification of inclinations for | fishing, horse shoe pitching, horse
 back riding and just plain resting. Mrs. Hoover and their son, Allan, were at the camp when the presi- l dents party arrived, having spent | the week there. The party included
 only two heads of government agen- 1 cies. Secretary Hyde of agriculture
 and Surgeon General Hugh s. Cum
 ming of the public health service. ] Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lind
 berg were included in the list of un- l official guests, with Mir. and Mrs. i Jeremiah Milbank of New York, | Mrs. Hyde. Mrs. Cumming and her
 son, Hugh. Jr., William Allen White l of Emporia. Kansas, Mark Sullivan l of Washington and Mir. and Mrs. 1 Herbert Hoover. Jr.. Walter Newton, , administrative assistant 10 the pres- dent and Lieutenant Commander Joel T. Boone, his personal physi- i elan. rounded out the party.
 i West Branch. la. Aug. 10 tP-- Lacking only a birthday cake with 1 55 candles President Herb rt | Hoover's home town was ready to- | day for birthday celebration in
 honor of it's most illustrious native l son.
 The residents of this Quaker Nil- lage will be joined by thousands of | other 1owans in a program which
 will dedicate this afternoon a granite boulder in the yard of the small frame house in which the 31st president was born. In keeping wi h the simple habits of Hoover s Quaker parents the boulder will bear only an inconspicuous bronze plate calling attention to the loCa- tion of the birthplace of the first chief executive to be born west of the Mississippi river.
