of the hotel in which Greenberg
and Hassel were slain, and said
to be the scion of prominent

Robertson taken into custody to
protect him from racketeers who
might threaten him, and because
he is convinced Robertson knows
more concerning, the killing of
the two alleged bootleg figures
than he has told authorities.

knew more concerning the affair

Residents Camp Out
Almost without exception the resi-
Dental community was encamped
out of doors, on front lawns and
parkings. Cots, bedding and stoves,
salvaged in cautious forays into the
homes, were visible on lawns and
between palm trees everywhere.
A suggestion TO residents who
owned wood or stucco bungalows
anything except brick-to move in
doors and resume normal living was
issued by the Long Beach rehabili-
tation committee through its chair
man. Charles S. Henderson.
The appeal was sidetracked, how
ever. when Will F. Prisk, newspaper
publisher, suggested that the COM
mittee should not assume the re-
sponsibility for such recommend
alton until the damaged homes had
been inspected individually as to
safety.

Death Valley May
Lose Reputation

BARSTOW, Cal, March 13. U.p)
Death Valley may lose its repu-
alton as the driest spot in the
United States unless ornithologists
Iuit their maraudings.
For years, Death Valley has en-
joyed its name as the most unin-
habitat of places. Then science
stepped in for an investigation and
emerged with the information that
18 species of birds and water fowl
hrive therein. The wild life ranges
from ducks and geese to the os-
prey and burrowing owl.
Death Valley is 300 feet below
iea level.
