The Nazis claim that the reason
for the organization originally was
the necessity of guarding against
Communist raids on their meetings.
1t is worth noting that Hitler in
l923-the year of his unsuccessful

to convert the organization into a
military force to resist the French

BLACK FILES CANDIDACY
Anti-Hefiin Senator From Alabama
Will Try to Retain Post.

By Scripps-Ho0ard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Ind, Dec. 22.-At
least one candidate is already in
the 1882 senatorial race in Alabama.
Senator Hugo L. Black of Birming-
ham, announced that he would run
for reelection and forwarded the
statutory entrance guarantee of
5000 TO E. w. Pettus, chairman of
the Democratic state central COM
mittee of Alabama.
Blacks candidacy to retain his
seat was not unexpected. He has
protected his party regularity
throughout the heat of the Helm
Bankhead controversy and will run
with the backing of the group which
threw ex-senator Heflin out of the
primary and elected John H. Bank
head in 1880.

Love TangIe; Declares
Sonny legitimate

BIZ United Press
WINDSOR. Vt, Dec. 22.-May
Gledhill, Canadian ski girl, is his
real wife and their 4-year-old son is
not illegitimate, william E. Conner,
central figure in Long Islands
strangest triangle, claimed today.
He received Mrs. Inez Conner, the
woman who has borne his name for
many years, behind the walls of the
prison where he is serving a four
year term for forgery, and ordered
her to rush back to Floral Park,
Long Island, and look after Miss
Gledhill and their son over the
Christmas holidays.
Mrs. Conner said she would, and
left Immediately for the home she
has been sharing recently with Miss
Gledhill.
Conner, a ruddy-faced little man
of 50 with grayish hair, once a
prominent consulting engineer until
his love affairs and finances in
volved him in a forgery charge, re-
ceived Mrs. Conner behind a barred
window.
How Is Skipper
Tell me, how is Skipper Miss
GledhilD 2" were his first words.
Mrs. Conner, who has been tax
ing care of the girls home and her
baby during her recent mysterious
illness, which was at first thought
by hospital authorities to be poison
ing, WINGED.
"I guess she's all right" she said
duly.
It want you to send a telegram to
her the moment you leave this
place." Conner said. Here it is.
Write it down as I dictate it,
Mrs. Conner smiled YEARLY, pro-
duced paper and pencil, and at her
husbands dictation, wrote:
MAY, always take good care of
sonny. Advise me plans immedi-
ately. Love. Bill"
"Is that ALL" Mrs. Conner asked.
Her husband was thoughtful for
a moment.
Make it Lots of love-" he
amended.
Brought Him Gifts
Mrs. Conner had brought him a
box filled with Christmas gifts, but
he was not interested.
GO right back and take care of
Skipper and her baby" he said
sharply. That's where you belong
you ought never to have left
them. They need you while I'm not
there"
Then Conner told his wife that
his real wife is Miss Gledhill.
1--WE were married in Canada four
years ago and she is my real wife.
Sonny is not illegitimate, as you
know" he said.
Outside, Mrs. Conner went to a
telegraph station and sent off her
husbands message to Miss Gledhill.
Guess, I'll have to stop in Bos-
ton to get some clothes on my way
back to New York" she told re-
porters.

CAMPUS STORY
ON SCREEN AT
LOCAL THEATRE

college Lovers" the new First
today and tomorrow at the Fox I'M
perial theatre features hero who
represents something new in COL
lege heroes on the screen. Jack
Whiting, who plays the lead, essays
a role that is almost starElingly
apart from the conventional.
The hero of this story is q type
we'll known on college campuses.
He is the college popular guy a
fellow who goes out for any and
all activities. He is president of
the student body and manager Of
the college athletic association. He
is in everything and knows every
body.
He isn't the great college lover,
either. In fact, though he is pop
ular with the girls, he is always
interrupted by some call for duty
when he tends to get romantic.
This role is not far from one
which Whiting enacted during his
own college days at the University
of Pennsylvania. He was the big
activities man on the campus, pro-
duced and acted in campus shows,
and played in the orchestra
With Whiting in this campus
story are Marian Nixon, Quinn Will
liams, Frank McHugh and Russell
Hopton. 1t was directed by John
