Descriptions Do Not
Match Up.

LOS ANGELES, April 10. U.P) -
The possibility that the torso found
in the Los Angeles river last Thur
day night might be that of either
Mrs. Mabel Blanton Lewis or Miss
Ruth Jackson, both of Brawley,
Calf, was being investigated here
today.
Authorities said that the connect
ing links were not very strong but
that because of the belief of Mrs.
John Blanton, of Colorado Springs,
that the headless and limbless body
might be that of her daughter, Mrs.
Lewis, that the matter would be
siftcd thoroughly.
Clifford Lewis, husband of Mrs.
Lewis, was being held in Salt Lake
City while his story of leaving his
wife, Il man named Naum and Miss
Jackson here while he went on to
the Utah city was being probed.
Because of the description of Mrs.
Lewis, wired here from Colorado
''Pi iHSo' ViII'Nlo hClt PioHt "
eliminate her as the possible victim.
According to reports here Lewis
drove here from Brawley with Mrs.
Lewis, Miss Jackson and Naum.
Once here, it was said, he quar-
relied with Mrs. Lewis and it was
decided that she should drive on to
Colorado Springs with Miss Jack
son while Lewis and Naum left here.
Lewis, according to reports to the
sheriff's office, said he went on to
Salt Lake City. Mrs. Lewis failed
to arrive in Colorado Springs, caus-
ing her mother to wire local authori-
ties and to order Lewis held in Sal.
Lake City.
The sheriff's office here said that
it had not considered any steps tt
eXtradite Lewis and would max.
none until more definite information
was secured.
Chief Cromer of Brawley was in
communication with Los Angeles au
thorities last night and after an ex
tended telephone conversation stated
he did not believe the woman muir
dered and dismembered in Los An.
geles answered the description of
either Mrs. Lewis or Miss Jackson,
as far as he was able to determine,
according to the description he had

rank Of the vicc-presidcnt' s wife in

in which the state department
found itself as the accepted social
secretary to Washington society
hostesses in need of advice ON
questions of precedence.
On investigation, Stimson said,
he found the department gradually
drawn into what he described as II
very undignified position. He read
Il letter which he said was typical
of many received by the depart
ment, asking Charles Lee Cook, of
the protocol division to seat dim
ncr guests according to their
rank.

ceivcs enough such letters to im-

TALL CORN FROM IOWA
MAKES GOOD NEWSPAPER

Through the courtesy of Mrs.
f.. w. Ferris of this city, the
Press today received copy of
the Franklin County Recorder,
printed at Hampton, Iowa, on
paper made of cornstalks.
TO the layman at least, there
is little difference in the paper
made from the famous Iowa
product, and the ordinary wood
pulp paper. AS yet the corn
stalk paper cannot be produced
in quantities at a price to com
pete with wood pulp paper, but
an article in the Recorder states
that chemists, engineers and
paper manufacturers are work
ing to reduce production costs.
