the case:

The kidnap theory, which is
one of many that have been ad-
vanced since Dorothy's mystic
rious disappearance, was being
secuted in many quarters, due to
revelations of the moderate cir.
cumstances Of her family. The
father is said to receive only a
comfortable salary from his posi-
ton as representative of q rei-
giouS publishing house.

Dorothy Ann was one Of eight
grandchildren Of Hugo Distel.
hurst, Montclair, N. j., relator,
who died in May. 1888. He left
trust fund for his grandchildren
which was valued in 1929 at
approximately $4,000. This
valuation is said to have dwindled
to less than half the original
amount and was in such condi.
ton that it could not have been
used to ransom the girl. The will
provided that in the event Of
death to one Of the beneficiarieS
the share would be divided equally
among the others.
Reports Of another will, under
which the slain girl would have
received a much larger share of
the grandfather'S estate, were
not confirmed.
Dorothy'S father was said to
have borrowed $1,000 from friends
before going to New York, and
his application for a loan to take
care of a $4,000 mortgage on his
modest home here is pending
with the Home Owners Loan
Corporation.
The little kindergarten pupil
was last seen alive by a neighbor
as she was within two blocks of
her suburban home returning
from school. She was walking,
dressed in a plain blue and white
dress, swinging her pink luncheon
basket in one hand, and carry.
ing school materials in the other.
Body Identified
That was just eight weeks to
the day before her body was
identified after it had been dis
covered in a shallow grave in q
remote cornfield just out of
Nashville. The skull had been
crushed in two places with a
hammer or similar blunt instru-
ment. A large rag, evidently
used as a gag when the girl
was murdered, was removed from
the mouth. Several inches Of
loose dirt concealed the body.
The small body was found by
Negro workmen Tuesday and was
identified by DR.. Leonard F. Pogue,
q dentist, who had filled an upper
right molar tooth of the girl q
short time before she disappeared,
and by DR.. Herman Spitz, q
pathologist and acting coroner'S
physician, yesterday.

To- FARLEY'S
STRENGTH
Postmaster Generals Hold
On Political and Cabinet
Posts Is frightened
BY FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

BY FRANKLIN G.. SARTWELL
One of the results Of the re-
cent congressional elections which
is causing talk in Washington is
the unexpected effect which the
ballotting has had upon the for
tunes Of Postmaster General
James A. Farley.
Whereas prior to the election
there was a more or less general
demand that Mr.. Farley give up
either his political post as chair.
man of the Democratic national
committee or get out Of the Post
Office, it was pointed out today
that there is now little talk of
his giving up either job.
Keeps New York Power
Likewise, it was indicated to.
day, there is no indication that
the Postmaster General has any
intention Of eliminating himself
from the political picture in his
home State of New York-and it
was generally conceded that un-
less such an elimination should
be voluntary upon Mr.. Farley's
part it was not likely to occur.
The election which cemented
control by the New Deal of ma
tional policies has cemented also
the control Of national politics
by the Postmaster General, it
was generally admitted.
Since Mr.. Farley came to Wash
ington as Postmaster General
when President Roosevelt was in.
augurated there have been in
siStent demands that he give up
either his governmental post or
his political posts. There have
been hints now and then that he
intended to do one or the other.
None of these hints has material
lied.
Survived Attack
Probably the strongest hint was
put forth after the air mail cpl
Sode, when air mail contracts
were summarily cancelled and
the job of carrying the mail was
turned over to Army pilots, sew.
eral Of whom were killed while
performing the task.
At that time a strong fire was
built under the Postmaster Gen
'eral, the assertion being made
that he was using his Govern
ment office for political purposes,
it being claimed that cancellation
Of the air mail contracts was &C.
tuated by political motives. But
the Postmaster General continued
to hold his jobs, both govern
mental and political.
Then the word went out that
he would resign either as a Cab
met member of as committee
chairman Immediately after the
congressional elections.
Secretary Of the Treasury Nor.
genthau contributed to the attack
upon the Postmaster General
when he made a few more or less
ineffective efforts to drive the
politicians out of his department.
To this, as well as to other at
tackS, Mr.. Farley replied with a
bland smile.
Smile Becomes Laugh
That smile has broadened since
the election of last week.
In fact, it is almost an open
laugh now.
The Postmaster General has
grown in stature as a result of
the election, and also as a result
OF his handling Of the Post Office
Department. Although the ques-
ton Of how much he has had to
do with the department is prob
lematical, the fact is that finan-
call the department is in pretty
good shape.

DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, president

today in a speech before a Nazi

mark. First, because it would
increase our debts in foreign
exchange, secondly because it
would nOminally raise. prices
for foreign raw materials, and
thirdly because it would effect

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris - (UP) - I read in the papers that long hair is coming in. In fact, I've read so much about how it's necessary for the new hats we are about to have. that got on my ankle express yesterday and cruised around to the Coiffure Kings to sort of check up on the situation.
 Antoine, who surely needs no introduction to a fashion public, says, Nothing doing!" Hair will likely keep on growing for gener- ations, he says, but smart women will keep on cutting it off and training it in various ways, but they will never let it grow long and have buns or punches or knots or nests on their heads again.
 "The tendency now" Antoine said, 'is to brush the hair up- wards and backwards, letting it wave or curl gracefully and nat urally at the back of the head"
 This, he insists, is sufficient titled hat woman may be called upon to wear this winter, and is far more suave looking than any way that long hair could possibly be twisted or twirled or knotted.
 Then there's Emile and Charles and Robert and Henri-and to man when I suggested long tresses for the winter, their noses and shoulders went up and the cor ners of their mouths down in an expression of "Well, not among discriminating women at least"

But, luckily, whatever may be our psychology the other Mellow gets just as much good out of it.

an uneasy spirit. The sight of Amy made him uncomfortable, the intense projection of her spirit filled the place, took no account of
 reality. The doctor was consci- entious, satisfied realist and did not want his creed shaken. This silent absorbed young womna affected him against his reason. He had been, until this time, practically certain that his patient would die during the night, but the minutes licked by and still that rapid hard breath labored on, and the pulse had not weakened. At about two o'clock he took the place of one of nurses and watched closely. The nurse, as acute as he, suddenly glanced at him, "a ised an inquiring eyebrow. There was no mistaking it. The breath was easier, almost imperceptibiy but-he, he was sure. He nodded to the nurse. There was gain, very slight gain. and even while he satisfied himself that the prickle of a coming annoyance.

But he was a conscientious physi- elan as well as conscientious realist ad when, after an interval to assure himself that the gain was actual and likely to be held, he went in to tell Amy, to his surprise and relief her response was not as he had anticipated. She was, he ob- served, exactly like other people to whom he had been able to bring the first hope in hopeless vigil. More, she did not seem to have expected it. So he became more friendly.
 Tt is very small gain, you un- understand. he said, but it Is there, and he seems to be holding it. It's the first encouragement we have had. If he keeps on like this until morning. and if he has an easier day to-morrow-"he left the promise unfinished.
