MOTHER DEAD
SuCCumbS After Gallant
3-Year Fight.
By United Press

WESTBROOK, Me-, July Is
Rudy Vallee's invalid mother, who
helped him become the idol of ra-
dos millions, died today with her
favorite son at her bedside.
Death came to Mrs. Katherine L.
Vallee, 81, shortly before noon, after
gallant three-year struggle against
heart disease, high blood pressure
and complications. She had been
in a coma more than thirty-six
hours.
Rudy, married only last week to
Fay Webb, actress, had flown here
from New York, with his younger
brother William, late Monday to
comfort his dying mother. She
frightened when she saw them, but
this rally was short-lived.
After the Rev. Father William J.
Culbert, pastor Of st Mary's Catho-
lie church, had administered the
last rites of the church that same
night Mrs Vallee lapSed into a coma
from which she never emerged.
Thursday night, for the first time
in eighteen months, the radio au-
dience will not hear a scheduled
Rudy Vallee broadcast. He has
cancelled all engagements.

Police Chief Mike Morrissey, who
had no orders to the contrary, said
enforcement will be continued.

JURORS SWORN IN
Baker Orders Quick Action
on Jail Inmates.

Swearing in the new Marion
county grand jury today, Judge
Frank P. Baker instructed its men,
bers that their prime duty during
the summer will be to act on urgent
cases of persons being held in jail.
Speedy action on such cases, the
judge said, is necessary to allow
such prisoners to make bail so they
will not be forced to remain in jail
throughout the hot season.
Robert w. Challis, florist, of r..
r. 6, Box 347C, was chosen as a
juror to take the place of one ex-
cuSed Tuesday.
Judge Baker advised the new
jurors that due to the absence of
important witnesses, it probably will
be impossible to make much head
way in the probe of House bill 6
Immediately.
The mixup over the will of Bar
tholomew D. Brooks also will be
studied by the jury.
