FEDERAL HELP
ASKED IN HUNT
FOR PLOTTERS

HOLLYWOOD, June 4. U.P)-Aid
of federal authorities was asked
today as police sought the writers
of five extortion letters to Marlene
Dietrich, film star, threatening her
little daughter unless she paid
them $4,000.
Disclosure that the actress had
received five letters instead Of two
came when the missives were OBJ
tained from Joseph Won Sternberg,
her director and manager, after a
clash with aides of District Attor-
ney Buron Fits.
Won Sternberg objected strenu-
ously to parting with the letters,
claiming police were interfering
with the work of private detectives
he had employed to trail the ex-
tortionists.
Meanwhile, Miss Dietrich's home
her daughter, Maria Sieber, anc
herself remained under heavy
guard. No one was allowed to ap-
proach the Beverly Hills house
where Maria continued her lessons
under a tutor, and newspaper
photographers were turned away.
The letters obtained from Won
Sternberg revealed the first threat
was received May 13, demanding
$4,000. Others followed May Is,
May 25, and June 2, the last doub-
ling the amount asked because Miss
Dietrich had notified police. All
were crudely formed with words
and phrases cut from current ma
tional magazines.
Police also guarded the five-year-
old son of Mrs. Egon Muller, wife
of wealthy German importer, an
other intended victim. The plot
was disclosed when the chiselers,
as Fits described them, switched
envelopes on two letters, sending
one intended for Miss Dietrick to
Mrs. Muller, and a note for the lat
ter to the actress.
Although a dozen suspects ware
questioned yesterday, none of them
was held A youth formerly en-
ployed in pictures, under observa-
ton as a suspect, completely ex-
onerated himself, Fits said.
Beverly Hills police have been
working on the case for eight
weeks, since the first note ordered
Miss Dietrich to keep your car in
front of your house. Put $4,000
near the rear bumper. Keep silent.

money as ordered in an effort to

signatures to a petition forcing q
house vote on the $2,000,000 900
cash bonus biA.
Scores OF the veterans, men
whose shabby clothing showed a

house galleries as the one hundred

WASHINGTON, June 4. U.P)-
The emergency confronting the
| capital grew more grave today as
new waves of destitute war vet
Grams swept into the city to join
the forlorn army demanding q
federal bonus that will not be
granted.
New arrivals brought to around
1900 the number of veterans being
| cared for by police. Donations Of
food dropped off and only a days
supply was on hand. There was
only 1892 in the emergency police
fund to feed those already here.
In the face of this situation,
/ heedless of repeated warnings that
they face probable privation and
eviction, at least 5000 further re-
Inducements for the bonus ex-
peditionary force" were beating
their way toward Washington.
They were progressing in groups
ranging from dozen to several
hundred, some virtually com
Wandering railroad transportation,
others coming in trucks and pri-
vate automobiles.
Police Superintendent Pelham
Glassford, charged with mainten-
ance Of order in the capital, ad-
herred to his decision to feed and
house the veterans as long as funds
held out. Benefit shows brought
in some cash, but it was prob
lematical how much more would be
Forthcoming and a thousand and
more men cannot be fed for long
on s592. When funds run out,
Glassford warns, he will demand
the men leave in 48 hours.
Appropriation Defeated
Members Of the house appropria-
tions committee for the District Of
Columbia put their foot down on
proposals for q federal appropria-
ton of $4,000 to care for the vet
! Grams.
Two members asked the district
commissioners to rebuke Glassford
for his efforts to provide for the
army. They said this had en-
couraged other battalions to move
on the capital. The commissioners
said they had not yet given Glass
ford any instructions for handling
| the situation when food supplies
gave out.
There were 1873 signatures on the
house petition designed to force
vote on the Patman bill for pay
ment of $4,000, 100000 in bonuses.
If II more signatures are obtained
by nightfall, vote can be had on
June 13 if congress is still in ses-
sion. Even if the house passes the
bonus, it will be killed by the SEN
ate or by presidential veto.

BEVERLY HILLS, June 4.
(SpeciaD-Congress politically
but not economically turned
down the sales tax. Well, even
out of tha mouths of babes
may come a good idea. Ham
Lewis, a senator from Illinois,
suggests this:
put a sales tax on now Con
objects not taxed under the
present bilD and use that ad-
ditional money just for the aid
of the unemployed"
Now there is some sense to a
scheme like that, for 1t pro-
vides where the money is COM
ing from before it's spent.
There is not a soul (unless it be
a Politician that would object
to paying a few cents more for
an article if he knew it was
going to someone who needed
it worse than him. So, come
on, a manufacturers tax for
