VI. S. PREPARES FOR DREYFUS DEATH PROBE
.C0RONERSF|LES
|. ARE COMBED
FOR CLUES

+ It has not yet been determined
whether Albert Guimares, Broad
way gigolo and sweetheart of
Dot King, win be called as a
witness in the Grand Jury tnvesti-
cation Of the death of Mrs. Azure
Ia Fischer Dreyfus, pretty
oiVorcee, who fell from the bal
cony at a Potomac Boat Club
dance last summer, United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover declared
today.
Neil Burkinshaw, Rover's assis-
tant, who has been designated to
take charge of the investigation,
asserted this morning that he
could not tell Wednesday whether
Gulmares would be called. In
TACT, Burkinshaw told a Times
reporter he had not completed
. reading the transcript of testi-
mony at the inquest, and until
ne had done so he could not say
what witnesses would be called.
Guimares has been closely
questioned in the death of Dot
King, Broadway butterfly, who
was a close friend of Mrs. Drey-
fuS. He also was a. roommate of
Edward j. McBrian, New York
| lawyer, admirer of Mrs. DreyfuS
who was her companion last sum-
mer at the time of her mysteri-
Gus death.
McBrian was questioned at
great length at the DreyfuS in
quest, and, finally, was absolved
from any blame in connection
with the fatal fall, which was de-
scribed as accidental.
Relatives of Mrs. DreyfuS re-
opened the case by furnishing
affidavits to Rover, in which it
was limited that Mrs. Dreyfus
knew too much about the death
of Dot King and that her death
was inevitable.
It was then brought out that
h<rs. Dreyfus was the mysterious
bloGde, who testified at the in
quest into the Dot King death
that Gui<aares had taken break
fast with Size and McBrian in a
New York hotel at the time the
King woman was supposed to
have been murdered. Guimares,
who was under suspicion in con-
nectiOn with the death of thReKing
woman at the time, was then ex-
onerated, largely on the strength
of Mrs. Dreyfus' testimony.
Affidavits furnished Rover by
relatives of Mrs. Dreyfus declare
that the pretty divorcee repudi-
ated her testimony that Guimares
had been the breakfast companion
of herself and McBrian and de-
MED that she knew of McBrian's
whereabouts on the morning of
the King mul der.

BLANTON NEVER
/. To RETIRE, He
DECLARES

Retiring from public life?
Never!" shouts Thomas L. Blan-
ton, the fiery Texan Washington
knows so well, in reply to certain
allegations of his successor in the
House, Representative r. @. Lee.
1t is Representative Lees con-
tention that when he purchased
Tom Blanton's house on Irving
Street, Northwest, there was a
stipulation involved-namely, that
Blanton would not run again for
the House at a later date and
attempt to resume the role
which he played with such gusto
for more than a decade.
This contention Blanton denies
in letter to his former conStitu.
ents. He repudiates the idea that
he made any pledge about leaving
Representative Lee in uncontested
possession of his House seat and
says the latter bought his house
not as a favor to Blanton, but
because it was a good business
deal for Lee
Blanton says he gave Lee very
favorable terms in the purchase
and even paid him $50 a month
rental on it until he was ready
to move out.
Lee paid me only $4,000 for
it and got free my three years
insurance on it," says Blanton,
and has many more figures but
tressing his argument. He also
says he notified his constituents
as early as August, 1928, that he
would run for reelection in the
House at his earliest oppor-
tunity."

To REDUCE

President Hoover'S national ad-
visory committee on illiteracy
plans an intensive campaign to
reduce the number of illiterates
in the United States before cen
sus takers begin their count in

The plan is to organize exten-

under volunteer teachers, and
send individual volunteer instruc-
tors to such persons as can not
possibly attend group classes.
An announcement explains the
object of the drive as being that
the nation will not feel humili-

"HNH -
By HYPE IGOE

NEW YORK, Oct. 21-The
other day, as Make Rosenbloom
stepped off the scales after his
strenuous workout, he asked Tom
McArdle, seriously enough:
Suppose / come. in over.
weight for Balm? What win
be the penaIty?"
mot much-yOu Just blow
your title, that's all" said Mr..
McArdle, who is a man Of few
but important words.
Rosenbloom looked at McArdle
and then walked off without an.
other word. Since that day. he
has been boxing eight and ten
rounds at top speed against the
liveliest opposition that he can
find. He is having his own
troubles making the weight and
the task is going to exact its
toll.
Is Make slipping? Does he
feel himself stumbling to-
ward the chute? Has the Gay
White Way claimed another
champion? II isn't q new
story. 1t is rs old as boxing
itself. ~. 8
When he started to train for
the bout with Able Balm which
takes place in Madison Square
Garden tomorrow night, the light
heavyweight champion weighed
1880 he said. Close friends
limited it was much nearer 100.
Since winning the title from
Jimmy Slattery on June Is, Ros.
enbloom has had but three fights.
Not enough for a fellow who
depends on speed and nothing
else. Take Makes fleetness away
and he might be quite ordinary,
yea, impossible. It is his speed
that whips them all.
Great timer, fast as lightning
in countering, off the mark first
nine times out Of ten, Make
RoSenbloom has been a thorn in
the sides of. middleweights and
light heavyweights alike. At one
time he wanted to do a Loughran
and Delaney. He wanted to
ditch the 175-pound title and
fight the heavyweightS.
Just now he has all he can
attend to If he is to send
back the light heavyweight
invaders.
Take Balm, for instance. He
can hit a bit. He was totally
unknown to the night that he
met Rene DevoS. The Little
Fox" you will recall, was the
runner-up for Mickey Walkers
middleweight crown.
Balm might prove to be world
beater. He said today:
81 know I'm up against . lot
Of speed and class, but I
wouldn't have signed if / didn't
think / could beat ROsenblOOm.
I know, too, that the only way
i can win his title is to knock
him out and I'm just going to
knock him out. do hope that
Make won't feel embarrassed
about it."
