be swung into line with the grain gam
blers of the countryP What is the
community of interest between the pres

and the party organization bought and
paid for by Mr.. John j. Raskob? They

MARY BAKER DEATH
REMAINS MYSTERY
Federal Clerk Last Seen Alive
at $40 O'Clock One
Year Ago Today.

Exactly year has passed since Mary
Baker, a young clerk Of the Navy De-
partment was slain. and the murderer
has bafied the greatest crime detec-
ton forces in the country.
The Department of Justice, Col. Call
yin Goddard, world-renowned criminol-
ogist of Northwestern University, the
Washington Police Department and
Arlington County authorities have viz
tually abandoned their search for the
murderer. which once assumed inter
national proportions, With thousands
of clues checked and failing to lead
anywhere the authorities were no closer
to solution of the crime today than
they were a year ago.
Last Seen at $40 O'Clock.
It was on April II last year that
Miss Baker was last seen alive. She
attended late afternoon services at the
Epiphany Church with a friend, Miss
Inez Eyre. She left Miss Eyre at
Fourteenth and G streets about 40
O'Clock that afternoon, explaining she
intended to walk to Seventeenth and B
streets, obtain her automobile, parked
there, and drive to Kann's Department
Store, where she had an appointment
with another friend, Miss Mildred
Sperry at O'Clock.
Miss Sperry later told investigators
she waited for Miss Baker more than
80 minutes, but the young woman failed
TO appear.
Meanwhile, it later was established
by police, Miss Baker was attacked at
about $50 o'clock by an unidentified
man when she stepped into her parked
car. 1t was not until the next day
that her body was discovered lying face
dan Gate of Arlington National Gene
terry. She had been shot three times
and strangled. Her bloodstained
automobile was found about three
quarters of a mile from the body.
Many Suspects Questioned.
Suspect aftsr suspect was arrested
during the early months of the investl-
CATION. The search ultimately culmi-
mated in trial on murder charge OF
Herbert M. Campbell, Virginia High
lands real estate dealer. A District
Supreme Court jury exonerated Camp
bell. He returned to his real estate
office and the case gradually began To
be forgotten. .
Perhaps this is one Of the last news
stories that ever will be written about
a girl who leaped from obscurity to be-
come the most talked of person in the
recent history of Washington. At any
rate. Police Department records read:
Mary Baker, murdered April IL
1880, by person or persons unknown.

SEES SOVIET COTTON
AS MENACE TO U. S.
Farm Board Member Holds Plan
to Increase Acreage Col.
stitutes Threat.

Russia's plan to increase its cotton
production constitutes a serious threat
70 American growers competing in the
world markets. in the opinion of Carl
Wi!llams, Federal Farm Board member
Russia itself, Williams said yester-
Gay, has been lost permanently as A
market for American exports.
He added that the United States
would face serious competition from
the Soviet in wheat, lumber and oil
as well as cotton.
United States cotton exports TO
Russia have averaged $50, 900 bales an
nually, sometimes reaching as high as
600, 900. Recently, however, Williams
said, Russia has exported $50 900 bales
and imported considerably less than
that amount from this country.
Russian cotton, he said, was of good
quality and sold at Liverpool at half
a cent pound lower than world prices.
A substantial reduction in cotton
acreage OF the United States this
Spring is in prospect, williams said.
He added, however. he saw no inn1c-
date rise in prices. Rather. he said
this would come with revival OF busi-
ness and increased consumption.
